what’s crazy is just how much outie mark doesn’t understand his innie’s world. the way he tries to contextualize his commitment to gemma through innie mark’s love for helly: imagine what you and helly have, but times a thousand. imagine a lifetime of joy and arguments and passion. imagine your life as a microcosm of my life — a real life. but he just doesn’t get it!!! imagine you’re born a fully formed human with no memories but the capacity for love and attraction. imagine you know, like, five people total. and then one day you meet someone new, and you’re the first voice she’s ever heard. she has the capacity for love and attraction too. you’ve been alive for two years. the time you spent falling in love with her, really, isn’t so different from the time you spent falling in love with your wife on the outside in terms of the portion of your life you’ve spent alive and in love. imagine joy and arguments and passion on steroids — you’re experiencing it all with no breaks. you don’t sleep, you don’t go on vacation, you don’t spend stretches of time apart. when she’s gone for a day it’s the longest eight hours of your life. and your life is just those eight hours, over and over again. your entire world is like three rooms and a few hallways large. and the only thing you’ve ever done for yourself is fall in love. innie mark deserved to be a lot meaner in those videos actually
