What really gets me about Gemma and Mark's life before Lumon is how full of KNOWLEDGE it was! They meet at university whilst donating blood in a library! They're humanities professors! They joke about their students' work! Gemma has books stacked everywhere in her office! When we get to see their house, it's wall-to-wall bookshelves, and where there isn't a bookshelf, there's an open window, or a plant! Can you imagine how much the innies would fuck with that??? Their work is something they love and it bleeds out from their campus and office scenes and visually dominates the flashback scenes! Post-severance, we see Mark watching tv in suburbia whilst drinking in his free time, completely divorced from this love of learning and knowing, are all his books packed away in the basement like Gemma? AND INNIE MARK! We see how strictly Lumon controls the spread of information, how outside materials are discouraged, how they just love making shit up ("tallest waterfall" etc) but when he gets Rickon's stupid shitty book Mark is still enthralled by it! Outie Mark does everything he can to erase his life with Gemma but we still see that love of learning and knowledge COME BACK!!!
Kneecap is like breaking bad good ending
this is like. GENUINELY the best edit i've ever seen in my life. full stop. let me reiterate: not just the best severance edit. THE best edit. the creator doesn't have a tumblr that i can find but i simply had to share.
No, Google Docs, there is a distinct difference between "cussing" and "cursing."
......suddenly struck by the idea for a piece of worldbuilding of "fae don't like iron bc it is the most stable element*"
*as in elements higher you can extract energy via fission and lower you can extract energy via fusion but iron itself there is no excess binding energy to extract at all
can't decide if hbomberguy is an avatar of the eye or the spiral but I approve of this wholeheartedly
hbomberguy turn your gayze upon this wretched plagiarist
"there's something about the dying that feels familiar" fucking unbelievably metal thing to be told. you die and you could swear you've been here before. the last thing you feel before your breath leaves your body is intense deja vu. you've never died before but somehow you know how this goes. you have an uncanny feeling being dead is a temporary gig for you, but you have no idea what gives you that impression. and then you're alive again. and you remember dying. and all you remember is that there was something about it that felt familiar.
