I just watched DARK and need to get this out of my system. WHY DOES NO ONE SHIP THIS!? Did I miss something
Yeah talk about this miserable,hot devils
SEVERANCE-HELLY R / HELENA EAGAN
DARK-JONAS KAHNWALD / STRANGER
Sometimes I forget that not everyone processes Dark the way I do. And by that I mean taking for granted that when Tannhaus speaks to Jonas he's actually talking to a reincarnated version of his daughter in law. The whole Jonas=Sonja and Martha=Marek thing has become so strongly rooted into my understanding of this series that sometimes I just need to take a step back and realise that a very good portion of the people who have watched Dark probably aren't even aware of this aspect. Or at least they don't consider it. But still, like.
wdym you didn't know that Sonja is an anagram of Jonas-
It's just odd for me I guess. It occupies an enormous portion of my mind when it comes to thinking about the series as a whole but in reality it's shown in like half an episode. And it's not really confirmed so it's regarded as a theory, although that hasn't stopped me from always just interpreting it as plain canon.

Dark (2017-2020, Netflix)
Just rewatched Dark and I`m in love and in pain, pain, PAIN...
Beware of being heavily spoiled ahead.
The first painful question: would you save your father from sufferings, if it would mean for you to be erased from existence for good? (From this question on started my love for this show).
The second question: is it really wrong, to love someone you shouldn`t love? Will it cause the end of the world?
The desperate abduction. Oh, it was so beautiful!
The third question: will you really be happy with the truth about a time loop that you helped to build with your own hands, when you are able to see the whole picture?
At the end I felt sorry even for him. The fourth question: how does it feel, to try so hard to change your doom and save your loved ones, only to find out that you are the source of their most unbearable pain?
"You are a too good man. Always was. This world didn't deserve you." It's a story about an infinite pain of each and every character: Katharina, Ulrich, Claudia and H.G. Tannhaus, who loved their relatives too much; Hannah, who loved herself too much; Jonas, Mikkel, Martha, Hanno, Charlotte, Elisabeth, Peter, Egon and Helge, who fell victims of the time-travel paradox. It's funny that an insane love for a child launched this glitch in a matrix, a twisted love for a child kept it running and another insane love for a child put it all to the end. A circle closed. Poetic.
The fifth question: would you fix the error in a matrix by self-sacrifice, if it would delete you and half of your nearest and dearest from existence but ends the never-ending circle of pain for others?
"We match perfectly. Never believe in anything else."
"The light glitched, there was a loud crack and then everything went dark. And somehow the world came to an end. There was dark and the light never came again. I had such a peculiar feeling like it was for the best. Like it was finally over. Like one was finally free from everything. Nothing to wish. Nothing to be obliged to do. An eternal dark. No yesterday. No now. No tomorrow. Nothing."
Finally, I should say that I'm very grateful to Germans for this series. I watched it in original in order to train my German AND because it was a very-very interesting show. Even when I watched it for the second time. One time is surely not enough for understanding of the plot, trust me.
