sometimes im like “tone down the Self to fit in” and other times, the voice of God comes to me in a dream and says “I didn’t make you crazy for no reason”

The Dylans' conversation: a beautiful affirmation of both of their identities as whole people as well as an acknowledgement of them being intrinsically the same person.

The Marks' conversation: No YOU kill yourself!

[oncelerfucker]

it's not the markhelly show!!!!! it's not the markgemma show either!!!!!!!!!! it's the "can you fundamentally grind an adult human being's consciousness down into nothing, cutting them off from their entire sense of self, thus turning them into an ideal blank slate ala 1800's euroamerican christian theories about children being pure souls without sin FOR the furthering of some fucked up capitalist cult's unknown goals" show !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kestrel-of-herran]

it's so sad that the innies think the outies have all this life and freedom that has been denied to them and meanwhile mark is a depressed alcoholic who lives only in dim lighting, helena cuts eggs in pieces so small the fork shouldn't be able to lift them to her mouth, dylan and gretchen's marriage is desintegrating, all irving has is black coffee and black paint and the black hole of vengeance that wants to swallow him whole... it's just so fucking sad they have the physical means to reach for and grasp all the happiness denied to the innies and they still can't. they're too damaged to. they've drawn a chalk circle of hell around themselves and they never step out of it. the innies' lust for life is the only thing that will help them break the cycle. we can't, we can't, i'm ready, we can't, i'm ready, i'm ready, i'm ready.

this completes the capitalism critique tbh. growing up you have no autonomy, and you yearn for the freedom capitalism promises you- with your own money, you can make your own life! and then you’re an adult, and you are a slave to the system until you die- too chained to responsibility, or too tired after working, or too damaged from normalized violence, to truly enjoy adult life. freedom is an illusion, a promise that will never be delivered

the characters are damaged by the system- it took marks wife, it wore down dylan, it isolated and traumatized irv, it constricted helena. until they could be shaped to be what the system wanted them to be

the innies are an expression of the human urge to love and create and explore and live that is denied to us over and over- until the system breaks us or we realize we’re never truly getting that opportunity. that they were always lying to us

the idea of a clutch purse is nightmarish to me. the whole point of bags was so we could escape the torment of holding things. and now u gotta hold a bag.

[hgedits]

Hang in there.
