Ooh im about to drop a HOT take here sorry in advance. People who are complaining that pregnancy and motherhood are being explored as The Woman's emotional journey (ignoring Mark's role & his grief as well!) are Pissing me off tbh. One of the hardest things in the world is experiencing a miscarriage and the fact people are 'uncomfy' with it and going well why can't it be something else, why does she have to want kids.. Shut up, it doesn't get to be something else & this was already set up SEASON 1 when Mark mentioned it on the date lmao. This is something a ton of people experience , this deep desire to have a family, and the physical literal inability for your body to hold onto a life is soul crushing for many. The fact Gemma wanted to keep trying and Lumon actively took advantage of THAT hope and her desire, the fact I'm certain they lied to her & told her they could fix it... Gemma apologizing to Mark in the clinic and him making that questioning face and shaking his head.. the fact that the desire, born of Mark & Gemma's love for one another, to have children and a family, is what (*I believe) led Lumon to discover these two, what ultimately allowed them to take advantage of Gemma (and by extension Mark)... the innocence of a new life on the severed floor being a direct parallel to childhood the severance procedure being so similar to birth waking up on the table with that umbilical cord looking speaker.. already im recontextualizing the way Mark sat by the lake after his sister gave birth and just looked out over the water. severance has always been about twisted families, childhood, adulthood, sex, pregnancy, reproduction, innocence, and loss thereof.. get over yourselves the show is supposed to be uncomfortable to explore these ideas it's a fucking dystopia sci-fi

[coolstuffduder]

alright, but it's a little frustrating that Gemma, a rich and interesting character, is reduced to "I made a bad decision because of grieving pregnancy."

the miscarriage thing is symptomatic to Gemma wanting more and Mark not. to get to the point where she's locked in the basement of Lumon took a lot of steps that included consent to be severed.

she wanted something else and now regrets it, but we're past the point of no return on turning back the clock. both of them have moved on in their own way. I don't think that doctor is as inaccurate as he comes off: we don't know Helena's decisions about how she's going to handle contraception outside. that could just be a matter of when, not if.

Gemma is looking for Mark, but like, Mark isn't Mark anymore. he's two enmeshed dudes, one of which is in love with Helly. she's in the same boat.

also, when they finally meet again, how do you think the conversation is gonna go? "yeah, I willingly did an experimental study that I told you nothing about and ghosted for years."

[coolstuffduder]

IS THAT WHAT WE'RE CALLING WATERBOARDING THESE DAYS-

[hyper-coasters]

Going through my tiktok bookmarks and found this gem

[coolstuffduder]

just what I needed

[plz-degrade-me]

Huh both Evan Kelmp and Riz Gukgak believe the only way to show their love for people is by being useful for them. Huh they're both played by people who normally DM games. Huh weird coincidence

[stolenmorninglight]

At first I read this and was like, "yes, that is a normal and acceptable way to show love, these are both totally normal people and behaviors"

And then I read it again. Re-read the names. Clocked the word "only." Hm.

Off to do more soul searching after being dragged for filth at the hands of a Tumblr post and Dimension 20.

[coolstuffduder]

this hits me right in the forever dm

[coolstuffduder]

the three genders

[creatures-5]

Alright so everyone knows white is the classic wedding color, with black suits being common too, but what if you want something more exciting for more than two people?

Ta-da!

Honestly I was just thinking about RGB for me and my gfs and then I started getting ideas for how to apply this farther

[nat-20s]

I can’t speak for other social media webbed sites but I really enjoy how tumblr seems to just completely spin a wheel on whatever media is hot right now. Like yeah sometimes it’s a new show that’s big and actively coming out but also sometimes there will be a solid month where half my dash is Columbo memes. Defy authority. Get really into an book from the 1800s. Watch shows that haven’t aired in 40 years. Celebrate the anniversary of the Boston Molasses Flood. Become unmarketable

[nonasuch]

oh shit i almost missed it!

[coolstuffduder]

soooo, I tried searching the show on Prime and got this. did Mark pull the show from Prime, or vice versa?

[coolstuffduder]

okay boys can make out and it's fine but if girls kiss they die forever

[incorrecthatchetfield]

Incorrect Nerdy Prudes Must Die 5/?, but it's the lords in black being so gender

Tumblr can never be my main means of engaging in politics and it comes down almost entirely to Tumblr's pathological need to distill The Right Opinion:tm: from any complicated issue.

It's always the most important thing. Not because it helps solve the issue or helps the people impacted, but because The Right Opinion:tm: is a proxy for you, morally, as a person. And every issue needs to be broken into the language that sets the stances of Make You Good or Make You Bad.

And I don't mean this in any generic statement about echo chambers or virtue signaling. Those are separate but related concepts. What I'm talking about is how people are nervous about a topic until one doctrine is crafted which defines the Sports Team Color of our Sports Team, so we can be identified as being on the Us Sports Team, and absolutely not on the Them Sports Team. Because this issue is actually about you and the proxy for you as a person and how people should perceive you so, really, the sooner we figure out the Home Sports Team Colors the sooner you can stop feeling worried.

The moment something new happens is usually the first and last time you'll actually see a range of opinions on it. And some of that is fueled by misinformation! Some in bad faith! When dust settles and clarity is achieved, this helps combat those things, but it's also the moment when the Loudest and most Articulate voices craft the Zeitgeist Opinion and everyone comes to roost around it.

You get people on this site pissed off at AI models that can diagnose cancer from a research paper in 2019 because The Right Opinion is that AI is bad. If you even see a post trying to articulate good uses of AI, well that's someone wearing Packers colors at a Vikings home game, and if you wanna make a point in the "wrong" direction you better be damn articulate about it.

A well-defined set of actions are transphobic. Another set are actually not transphobic, and you'd be transphobic for thinking so. Are you trans and actually your lived experiences differ? Get articulate real fast or shut up. You might be able to eek an exception for yourself, but it's going to require a 10-paragraph post justifying your claim. If you're REALLY good at it though, you might be able to rewrite the Zeitgeist and now anyone who disagrees with you is transphobic. Teams switch uniform styles every now and then, after all.

And it's such a farce because so often it's not actually about the topic at hand. It's about why you should be allowed to be perceived as a good person while toeing outside the fringes of The Right Opinion, why you aren't actually quitting the faith or committing blasphemy or deserving of exile for going off the written word. Or if someone really IS trying to make it about the topic at hand, the ensuing slapfight in the comments needs to be about whether OP has sinned against the covenant.

It's not helpful.

[coolstuffduder]

thank you for capturing the issue I've had with Tumblr since 2016.
