Severance Season 2 Finale Spoilers

Oh god when it really hit me that this was an Orpheus and Eurydice story I was braced for pain.

But I thought Gemma was Eurydice. I was ready for her to get ripped out of our grasp at the end and how fucking wrong I was.

It was Helly.

And seeing Mark and Helly run back into hell, gazing at each other like it’s the end of The Graduate and Ben stiller giving us a Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid cinematic ending.

Flawless.

If this was the end of the entire series, I would be satisfied.

Is there a reason why this show has gotten ZERO promotions, press, or hype?

The Decameron is a series about a group of nobles and their staff who have been invited to isolate from the bubonic plague with a distant cousin/acquaintance in the Italian countryside.

Except he isn’t there.

Everyone who arrives has some level of sneaky lie going on, everyone is lusting after the hot doctor, Buster Bluth is head of household, Erin Quinn from Derry girls is the handmaiden for Shosh from Girls, and everyone is moments away from being exposed as a fraud or dying, by plague or otherwise.

10% of the time, everything goes entertainingly tits up in ways you could see coming, and the other 90% is a surprise that just feels… right.

It was so consistently just… good? That I looked up yo see if it was based on a book and it is! FROM 1353 ITALY. It predates Shakespeare, but the adaptation to a limited series manages to keep the wit and clever sense of humor while having people speak in regular cadence, not iambic pentameter.

The story has been modernized in some ways, while still staying true to the historical setting - there’s queer people! And class war! And a killer soundtrack! But also dowries! And an inquisition!

If you think Bridgerton is fun but a bit too romancey, this show is probably for you. I’m really surprised it’s been so… unmentioned. It’s really smart and is kind of the Bubonic Plague edition of White Lotus.

Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.

Getting in on this bc I have a HUGE gig next week and I’m doing everything I can to make sure it goes well. But I can always use a little extra luck for smooth presentations and good sales!

i’ve become a completely different person like 5 separate times since making those posts and there are STILL people finding them somehow

My cat loves me so much. She misses me when I’m asleep.

Some days it’s so hard to do anything other than snuggle her, knowing that just existing in her proximity brings her so much joy.

Is anyone currently reading or rereading The Masquerade Series by Seth Dickinson? I did Traitor Baru Cormorant on audiobook and it wasn’t enough, so now I’m switching to hard copy.

I just dropped my absolutely feral fixation on Tamsyn Muir’s writing/ The Locked Tomb series and I’m trying to find that kind of community reading Baru Cormorant cause BOY HOWDY.
