The way Innie Helly is imprinted on Mark like a fucking baby duckling because of course she is. He was the first voice she heard and the first face she saw. The first person that ever held her and saved her life and Loved Her.

And now Helena is fixated on him. Replaying the videos. Watching him through the window, now the lobby, getting closer and closer... She's touched him once now and his dumpster kitten charm has a gravitational pull....

He loves so fiercely AND he's an avoidant little fuck. Of course he's transfixed her. Body and soul. TWICE.

was NOT anticipating the gemma and irving parallels in this episode!! “he’s not dead, he’s just not here.” “she’s not dead, she’s just not here.” !!!!

and then also outie irving now having a relationship with burt’s outie and burt’s outie’s husband? parallels to helena/helly, mark, and gemma??? the thought isn’t complete but someone jump off plz

The gothic, whether in cinema or literature, is by its very nature “uncanny” — that which returns from fantasy into the real and that which returns from the real into fantasy.

Frankenstein’s legacy is (...) an enduring fear of irresponsibility — albeit today in the hands of corporate rather than individual bodies.
