severance. like the show. the concept. The Thing.

!! Rating: Holy Shit, there's so much to say about this one. Short answer; yes AND no.

SO. we've been binging this show since last week, and wow its a good show i recommend giving it watch !!

i will Try to keep this spoilers-free but, its still better to watch the first few episodes, then come back to read this post

the main concept of "severance" as a concept is purposefully splitting the brain, (via brain surgery) to make two separate consciousness, one for work, one for home.

this is where it already gets tricky; its purposeful, it's basically consensual on the "host's" part, but the headmates (or "innies" as the show calls them) did not want this, but now that they have a chance at life, albeit a boring 9-5 box office job, they're content. (this is a point towards 'not plural')

some of them find happiness some of them find love, some of them find purpose, because that's what people need, proving that the "innies" are fundamentally people. (point towards 'plural')

i think a lot of the show focuses on the terror of waking up without memories, the utter horror aspect of it, and usually i'm quick to jump to "well this is the writers using d.i.d as a horror trope" because most of the time it is. (point towards 'not plural')

with severance; the horror aspects of the show are Real Terrifying Plural Experiences. as a system watching this show was lowkey eye-opening because i can show it to singlets and tell them "this is what its like." then they'll have a better understanding of my system and by extension other systems as well even if on just a surface level (point towards 'plural')

a lot of the struggles and conflicts in the show are centered around the "innies"(headmates) disagreeing with the "outies"(hosts) goals and ideas, etc etc there's LOTS of conflict between the two and absolutely NO communication between the two. (point towards 'plural')

the company who they all work for, has MANY strict restrictions on the "innies" ability to do almost anything, they are there to work and that is it. "innies" cannot communicate with "outies" and "outies" don't want to communicate with their "innies"(Schrodinger's point. could be either.)

SO. long answer; there are many many MANY Experiences shown, that are Real to Systems, yes the show frames it as a "wouldn't this be fucked up?" scenario, but it Is real and it IS (albeit. maybe slightly less? fucked up?) in real life and in real systems

(i say slightly less fucked up bc i believe it is more flawed and miserable for a company to do that to its employees, given the (outies) employees agreed to it, its almost endogenic, in that the systems didnt form in childhood trauma ,, and "became" systems intentionally, which isnt how plurality actually works, point for 'not plural,')

DOTTORE SUNSET DATE... i would like to point out there's a lil Puffttore in the sky with a heart... i think that's adorable,,

Him admitting his feelings... :3 (marriage soon)

ACCEPTING THE CHOCOLATE BAR AT LIGHT SPEED... you know he loves you if he shares his sweets with you!!

Other random things... *nom* also because i think it'd be adorable for Dottore to actually look forward to spending an eternity with you.

Last one... he went to bed 12 AM sharp 😭

[radfem-polls]

Honestly what if i made a spinoff blog anon-radfem-posts or something cuz i feel like some of these asks just want to share their opinion and don't really care about the poll aspect. I think anon posts are fun and all but it should be in a place other than here.

I'd prolly link to it in the pinned of this blog and anonymous commentary on polls could be sent there too (i get those sometimes here but dont post them)

Hmm. I think I might be generally... done with Star Wars? Like maybe if they trot out more Maul stuff I'll get reinvigorated but I can't think of the last time I thought about writing something Star Wars outside of an exchange. And honestly I've stopped even including Star Wars as options in multifandom exchanges too. It's weird to consciously detach from Fandom-ing for something, previously it's just fizzled out and eventually been taken over by a replacement, but I just don't really have fun with it anymore? Idk. And this isn't even the Veilguard brainworms talking, I've been feeling like this for a long time, Veilguard's just really brought into focus a) how much passive brainspace previously dedicated to Star Wars has been replaced by Dragon Age over the last two or three years, and b) how much fun I should be having with being actively engaged in a fandom vs. how much fun I've actually had for a couple years now. Part of that is due to removing myself from previous Star Wars communities I was active in, but even being in those in the first place has been a relatively recent development compared to how long I've been Doing Fandom stuff. I just don't have fun with it anymore, idk, and I do have fun with Dragon Age. Plus it like, fits my vibes more, lmao. I've always been more interested in fantasy than sci-fi, and it's nice to be in a fandom where I'm actually engaged in the main stories, plots, and characters, as opposed to 'small handful of side characters, plus all the clones, and the vast majority of main characters and stories are a complete snoozefest to me artistically'.

Not really a point to this post, I'm kinda just talking myself through this in real time, I think.

[impossiblepluto]

I am going to have something to share for the cairo reprise! It might only be the first chapter but it's something I have thought about for years.

I've had like 1200 words for it since 2022 and in twenty-four hours, added like 4500 words

[kumakuma-circus]

See, I was actually in the mod and this is what totally and canonically happened. /j /lh

Seriously speaking, thought this meme would fit in regards to how I feel abt Ar.maros, aka my new f/e :)

(TW for light blood, implied depiction of violence, bruises(?), and mention of murder via gun below the cut. Be warned!)

For context, in regards to BB's lore- Armaros was the one who shot and killed him (but ofc, BB was revived shortly after by another party. It's why his eyes are white). In the Mod update, Armaros shoots BB again and... well, I'm sure you can imagine how I felt abt it.

Angel on Angel violence amirite or amirite? /rhe

I like thinking that my insert can use her halo as a weapon (like shown here). She probably transforms it like P&S do, except it's not clothing LOL
