Mark and Gemma as Orpheus and Eurydice: boring, obvious, unoriginal
Helly/Helena as Persephone/Kore, queen of the underworld but only as a prized prisoner: new, bold, fascinating
#there are so many parallels#they both go by two names#helly's rebellious nature and rage#helena's passive existance and people pleasing tendancies (if she sees them as people)#HELENA IS KORE#THE DAUGHTER COUNTERPART#HELLY IS PERSEPHONE#THE QUEEN COUNTERPART#do you see the vision#also: persephone is the one who persuades hades to let eurydice go#who's hades? god of the dead and wealth#LUMON/THE EAGAN FAMILY/KIER#i've been losing it over this and i need everyone to know#the fact persephone probably hungers for the land of the living but she will always be remembered as queen of her prison#severance#helena eagan#helly r#hellymark#markhelly#by this logic#helly will eat at helena and essentially replace her#which would be such a cool concept#helena probably wants it lets'be real#ALSO THE WHOLE SHOW IS SET IN WINTER#PERSEPHONE IS GODDESS OF SPRING AND GOES TO THE LAND OF THE LIVING WHEN WINTER ENDS#THE SHOW WILL END ON HELLY PERMANENTLY IN THE WORLD OF THE LIVING#i feel like that meme of the guy with the board
