so do y'all think we'll ever be able to have a discussion about how the innies are essentially constructed as being in a weird liminal space between adult and child, up to the fact that the actors have talked about essentially playing them as children, and what that implies about how their relationships, specifically mark and helly's relationship, are treated by others in the narrative (and especially by lumon itself) without it devolving into a weird moral argument about whether you're allowed to ship them

#severance #was talking on discord about the show's treatment of mark/helly #and specifically how their relationship is treated in-universe by lumon #and brought up the fact that those two seem to have essentially the same concept of adult relationships as like. kids playing house #as made evident by the “maybe we'll meet our spouses”/“maybe it's each other” conversation #and anyway i was so excited to post that insight to tumblr #but then i remembered #this is the fucking shipcourse website #and i immediately pictured throngs of proshippers and antis misinterpreting my post in equal and opposite ways #“see guyz mark/helly is problematic” to the left of me “fuck you for saying i'm not allowed to ship mark/helly” to the right #here i am stuck in the middle with you
