you know in all the posting about irving and helly’s friendship after last ep, i haven’t seen anyone mention yet that he was one of the two people who first saw her, who watched her (through the screen, on the other side of the wall) as she woke up for the first time, confused and scared and burning with anger. and then he was the one who brought her back; he was the one she first saw (holding her in his arms), as she was confused and scared and freezing. he was there for her start, and she was there again just in time for his end.

#severance #severance season 2 #severance spoilers #helly r #irving bailiff #i hesitate to call it a father-daughter thing because imposing familial roles on helly’s relationships feels gross to me #(lumon tried to force them into that found family model and. well. razor to her throat)#but there are interesting parallels to draw there. he’s there for your birth and you outlive him.#helly’s one interaction with ''her'' father was him giving praise and love that was laced with cruelty and never even meant for her #then irving literally almost drowns her and yet she knows (or will very soon) that it’s the purest act of love #fucked up huh #…i also wonder if the reason helena focused on appeasing/bonding with irving over dylan #(who i’d argue helly had more of a developed friendship with in season 1)#is because she sees irving in that way. because having lost her father’s approval she’s seeking it from someone she can slot into that role #posts from the severed floor #data analysis
