ether as severance + “the courtship of kier and imogene” (relationship parallels)
(just so we’re clear, while the kier-imogene dynamic is clearly paralleled with helena and mark, it is also reiterated in cobel and mark, dr mauer and gemma, and even burt and irving to some extent; season 2 has also made it a point to show us that helena and cobel are both victims in their own ways while being perpetrators. it is not a black and white situation and misogyny will get you blocked.)

cant stop thinking about the fact that mark and gemma met while donating blood.
a painful and uncomfortable task that they both volunteered to do.
the kind of chore u might prefer to avoid if you had a severed version of yourself to do it for you.
so in a world where everyone delegates unpleasant tasks to their innies, you might never meet the love of your life
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!!!
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.
This is a comment someone appended to a photo of two men apparently having sex in a very fancy room, but it’s also kind of an amazing two-line poem? “His Wife has filled his house with chintz” is a really elegant and beautiful counterbalancing of h, f, and s sounds, and “chintz” is a perfect word choice here—sonically pleasing and good at evoking nouveau riche tackiness. And then “to keep it real I fuck him on the floor” collapses that whole mood with short percussive sounds—but it’s still a perfect iambic pentameter line, robust and a lovely obscene contrast with the chintz in the first line. Well done, tumblr user jjbang8

if you've ever used the London Underground you might have noticed that it often gets uncomfortably hot. the reason for this is actually that its builders dug too greedily & too deep and as a result the trains are very close to the fires of hell. hope that helps.
i get so scared. and i get scared again. yuo are never gonna calm me down. i get so scared. and i get scared again. you are never gonna calm me down. i drink a nervous drink. i drink a frightened drink. i drink an anxious drink, i drink a scary drink. i fear the scares that remind me of the scary times. i fear the scares that remind me of the horror times

when i was reading the book entangled life which is about fungi and the author merlin sheldrake said that once he got his first author copies he was going to dampen the pages and use them to grow oyster mushrooms and yeast and then use the yeast to brew beer and then drink the beer with the mushrooms to complete the cycle of fungal knowledge. i was like really and truly this guy gets it
