Good morning and welcome to your Daily!Tom!
I love this photo so much. His expression, the clothes, his hands, his arms (love a rolled up sleeve), the hair, the sunglasses. Everything. Perfection.
Have a splendid day!
Reblog if you think fanfiction is a legitimate form of creative writing.
Oh, these lovebirds 🤍🕊✨️
What a sweet chemistry!
Oh my god I had the best Tom dream 😁 which I’ll definitely turn into smut and then I woke up to this damn
TOM STURRIDGE as LORD DREAM The Sandman (2022-2025) 2.04
Tom Sturridge of "The Revisionist" poses for a portrait during the 2026 Tribeca Festival at Spring Studio on June 05, 2026 in New York City.
The backrooms are a failing brain trying to hold onto even the most basic of memories, even as they warp and decay.
The backrooms are generative AI trying to capture something real but only achieving a malformed, mindless imitation.
The backrooms are stagnation, an unwillingness to step into the new and uncomfortable effort of changing, instead running through the same old routine even as it starts to fall in on itself.
The backrooms are nostalgia cannibalizing itself, trying to remake and remake what it already knows without making anything new, until the familiar is so bastardized it's barely recognizable.

Oh I'm sure
For a little I felt like we missed Clark’s spiral and that’s why the change felt so sudden but in the same scene that Clark shows this “sudden” violent part of himself he says ‘I don’t want to change’.
Clark has always been like this. We saw his extreme anger at the start of the movie. His disregard for those around him with how he speaks to and about them. The implied breaking of the glass was that he threw it, not knocked it over.
I was expecting a spiral but he didn’t need one. He was already there.
Me the first half of The Backrooms: "oh I get it. He's a down on his luck failed architect and even more failed furniture store owner who's trying to better himself. He'll probably be fascinated with the furniture/architecture of the backrooms and start selling the items there for money + notoriety. And eventually he'll go deeper and deeper to get more and more items until he gets trapped and encounters The Horrors. A classic tale of hubris :) "
Me the second half of the backrooms:
The 4 tempers, the Severance procedure and the 9 Principles
At the end of Severance it was revealed that the files that MDR was refining were actually Gemma's consciousness.
In particular, they were removing her 4 Tempers: Woe, Malice, Frolic, and Dread. Every refined file corresponds to a new blank-slate innie for a new room.
Many speculate that Lumon is trying to perfect their severance procedure. They can already remove someone's memories from them, and they aim to also remove their personalities, make them sheepish and malleable and ready to obey whatever command they're given without question and without resisting.
I think this theory has merit. The four tempers correspond to sadness, fear, playfulness and cunning spitefulness, all things that make innies more resistant to their oppression.
Waking up in a strange room full with strangers with no memories is definetly scary. Makes people want to escape or fight. Being locked in an office with no option to leave without ever seeing the sun or the sky definetely makes people sad, making them yearn to leave. Playfulness makes people want to, well, play and have fun instead of working. A certain amount of malice aids in formulating an effective escape plan/fight your opressors back.
If you remove all of the above, you get the perfect worker. The perfect plialable, trusting person you can exploit how you want with minimal hassle. It's a very useful feature in the product Lumon is trying to sell:"Make this other person do all the boring, scary, painful, anxiety-inducing things in your life. Also don't worry, they feel no fear and no sadness so you don't need to feel guilty. Also they are very easy to train and will not cause problems".
It's basically the perfect product.
And I'm sure they'll sell it as an enlightenment thing. Kier tamed the 4 Tempers, after all. This is nothing but a technological shortcut to do the same, right? And if Kier did it, then it must be a good thing.
Kier is seen, as many cult leaders are in real life, as an extremely wise man, who was able to rise above and gain perfect self-control over his emotions. By taming the 4 tempers. Of course there is no actual proof he was a righteus man. And many fans suspect Imogene was a child bride (and I also think that). He was probably the furthest thing from a righteous man, and yet, as it happens in real life, he was able to fabricate this image of "Enlightened man", and gain a massive following because of it.
The Severance procedure helps you tame your 4 tempers. But this is not used for enlightenment. It is used for exploitation. It doesn't help people be free from their emotional problems. It makes them more easy to abuse.
Also, it's note worthy to me how the 4 Tempers are something to tame (something you want to free yourself from) while the 9 Principles are something to embrace (something you want to always be). But these things are oftentimes in conflict with each other.
As an example, let's take Malice (temper) vs. Wiles and Wit (Priciples). I'm italian, and in Italian the words "Malice" and "Wiles" are translated in the same way, "Malizia". They mean the same concept. In english, one has a negative connotation while the other has a positive connotation (depends on context but it's overall less negative). This mirrors something I've seen in real life religion. The same exact act can be described in two different ways. The same way of being can be both something wrong to punish and something good to celebrate. This way it's extremely easy to punish someone for the same actions someone else is celebrated for. The discriminant is, of course, the level of power that peron holds in the organization. If a severed worker is cunning, that means they are wicked and malicious. If a high-level Lumon executive does the same, they are witty and masterful. A similar thing happens with Frolic (Temper) vs. Verve and Cheer (Principles). That makes it very easy to pick and choose who has a right to be light-hearted and have fun and who doesn't.
