#homework for this week: go back and watch chikhai bardo again

[herrmit]

most ridiculous takes i've seen thus far have been the "ohhhh mark doesn't deserrrveee gemma so its actually a good thing that he walked away" type shit. 😐 its like. hey you care about this character? you care about her agency in the narrative? you care about her happiness? then maybe its time to fucking listen to her when she says she wants her husband back!!!!!! she wants her dead wife!!!!! some of y'all acting like gemma is a plot device that mark does or does not get to have when she is a fully fleshed-out character in her own right! a character who has routinely expressed a desire to a) get out of hell, b) take back the life she was ripped away from, and c) be with her husband!! desires she just so happens to share with outie mark! and its messy of course it's messy this show is messy and thats the point. but some people are all-too-eager to ignore the established character she is in favour of what they wish she was. take the loose thread of "mark dead wife" that doesn't fit into the desired narrative and tie it all off into a neat bow....... absurd.
