a bottom-tier autistic experience is being told throughout your entire childhood that you are just an overthinker when it comes to social situations and later finding out that your friends did, in fact, hate being around you and tried to communicate that through weird little hints

can’t blame mark s for choosing helly r in the end, after all i’d rather be in hell with the person i love than in heaven alone

[rugusbalugus]

ok but let’s be real, how tf did Dylan get that vending machine through the severed floor AND past the marching band??? odylan must really be taking up some bodybuilding competitions cuz damn

I don't really know what to do with these thoughts, like what conclusion I should be taking them to, but it is kind of interesting that Lumon is a cult, right? But... the science is real. By all means... Woe and Frolic and Malice and Dread... were the key to severance? Like it did... mostly... work.

They did erase Gemma. For a while.

It reminds me of like... the health nut to alt right pipeline a bit. Like, you do manage to tap into something truth about the human body. You learn how to manage an illness no doctor could figure out for you. You're healthier than your peers. Whatever.

But you have that insight, that CONTROL over yourself... over the human body itself... and seek more and more control. Seek more and more theories as how to maintain control. Want other people to believe in your control and be under your control. You should be able to dictate what goes in and out of other people. You know best.

And you start to believe everyone should be 'the best' version of yourself. With a very, very narrow understanding of what 'the best' is. Entire ways of living, existing become wrong. You need to be fruitful to outnumber the bad people.

And suddenly it's eugenics.

This is how cults form. This is how cults ultimately often become tools of oppression, prejudice, harm.

I don't necessarily know if that's what the show is going for, I'm just spitballing. But i really can't stop thinking about... in at least some way... the four tempers are... a reasonable view of the human mind in this universe. A scientific achievement of sorts, or at least it works enough (the same way all eugenic metrics have worked 'enough' like BMI or phrenology or whatever despite not really holding in any way outside of manipulated/unique test cases)

Idk

BRIENNE OF TARTH SAVES THE DAY YET AGAIN AMEN 🙏 🙏🙏🙏

[five-rat-lore]

Mark S has lived his entire life hungover and Helly R has lived her entire life hungry. They don’t even know what life is like without their afflictions. They don’t know what it’s like to feel clear and full. To feel well.

[rugusbalugus]

cobel being revealed as the inventor of the severance procedure aka the backbone of Lumon’s ENTIRE business model??? GAG OF THE CENTURY.

if it was miss huang and harmony cobel running that severed floor those divas woulda had cold harbour done STAT with no crumbs left to spare

[rugusbalugus]

one reason milchick got chewed out by Lumon was for not letting Miss huang play theremin at the funeral. and that’s a fact.

[rugusbalugus]

we all know irving absolutely tore down but can we talk about miss huang and that electric hand instrument thing she was playing at the campfire? she was killing that shit!!

SEVERANCE #02.03 + TUMBLR TEXT POSTS [Episode 1] [Episode 2]

[rugusbalugus]

can’t get over how extremely fucked up it is that lumon subtly enables the departments to make ridiculous accusations against each other like MDR having pouches and brain eating larvas so that the innies don’t unionize and stay uninformed about the true nature of their jobs. milchick printing out that painting of OTD murdering MDR and then later on irving and dylan finding the same painting in OTD with the departments reversed?? the hysteria and fear lumon plants into it’s workers is terrifying and parallels our late capitalist society and how certain people look down on others for their occupations without realizing they’re all being subjugated equally by the elite. severance’s commentary on work culture is fascinating and i can’t get enough of this show ashahaurbriwnw

[bladesrunner]

Why don't we reset? It doesn't have to be this way.
