if i had a nickel for every time Gemma Chan plays a character trying to resolve conflict between synths/sims/artificial life forms and humans I'd have 3 nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened thrice

One Dress a Day Challenge

November: Grey Redux

Crazy Rich Asians / Gemma Chan as Astrid Young

The designer, Mary E. Vogt, commented about this dress in an interview: "I had some beautiful dresses that Ralph Russo very generously lent us. They were gorgeous, and the director was excited about them, too. I showed them to Gemma and for that particular scene — the one where she finds out her husband is cheating on her — she said, I want to be really vulnerable and I don’t want to wear anything too fabulous.

"At first, I was disappointed. I said, 'Are you sure?' But when I thought about it, yes, of course it makes more sense for this scene. It’s about her vulnerability, not some outfit. I had an elegant, gray 1930’s Ralph Lauren dress. It was very simple, yet it worked. You looked at her — at her face and her expression. You weren’t distracted by three-dimensional butterflies or anything wild on the dress."

A side view reveals that the dress fastens with a zipper on the right side. It also has an ornament at the waist, which appears to be in the shape of a dragonfly.

BAD SISTERS Were you at the Garveys? Nice time? Yeah, they’re great girls.

BAD SISTERS You can't just explode a man. It's barbaric is what it is. And you and me, were not... Barbarians? Murderers. We're not murderers.

I swear there's so many Movies, Tv Series, and video games that I get into so late. I just have this weird automatic thing where I won't be interested in something if people keep telling me to watch it, or play it or it keeps coming up in my recommendations, or ssometimes I just somehow never hear of it, but then years down the line I'll finally give the thing a chance and I become obsessed and wonder why it took me so long to see it 😭

BAD SISTERS It wasn’t fair of Grace to say that you took that moment from her, with Mam. She missed it because her boobs took too long to come in. I had bloody C cups at 12, and I had no mammy there with me. But you did great.

🕊️ Please Take a Moment to Read Nadin’s Story

My name is Nadin. I never imagined I would write something like this. I’ve always been someone who kept her worries quiet, someone who believed that even the hardest days could be endured with patience and faith. But right now, I am reaching out — not because I want to, but because I need to.

I am a wife, a mother, and one of many women in Gaza trying to survive days that feel like they have no end. There was a short time — a brief ceasefire — where we thought things might start to heal. Where the sound of war faded for just long enough to let us breathe. But that moment is gone now, and the fear has returned louder than before.

My days are filled with uncertainty, and my nights with prayer. We have lost so much. Our home was damaged, our sense of safety taken from us. But through all of this, I try to keep going. I try to hold on to what little peace I can create with my hands, my words, and my love.

I am not asking for much. Just a little help to keep our lives from falling further apart. To fix the small things — a cracked wall, a leaking roof, the pieces of daily life that help us hold on to dignity.

This campaign isn’t just about survival. It’s about holding on to what makes us human in a place that keeps trying to take that away. It’s about showing my daughter — even though I won’t mention her name here — that the world didn’t forget us.

If you’ve ever felt powerless in the face of suffering, please know that even the smallest gesture can carry great meaning. A kind word. A shared post. A quiet donation. These things remind us that we’re not alone.

I am still here. Still holding on. Still believing that people out there — people like you — still care.

Please, if you feel moved, consider supporting or sharing this campaign.

Purple

A Movement Color. Blue ⇾ Red.

Purple is often used in Severance to symbolize a movement from Lumon-controlled blue to passionate red — usually for love.

Music Dance Experience: Before the room turns distinctly red at the end of the MDE, when Dylan bites Milchick, we see purple lighting as Dylan's priorities actively change in front of us—from earning Lumon perks to wanting to know his family.

The Purple Room: Seen several times throughout Seasons 1 and 2. First, when Helly is being taken from the conference room to the stairwell. Then again in Season 1, when Mark asks Helly to join him in mapping the severed floor — a significant act of rebellion from Mark, done for Helly. In Season 2, we see the room twice: first when Mark runs by it as he searches for Ms. Casey, and once again when Mark and Helly return to the room to make love for the first time.

Irving Turns on Kier: During the egg bar scene in Season 1 (coveted as fuck), Irving stares at a painting of Kier before he smashes an egg inside one of the handbooks—once one of the most valued things in his life — until Burt.

Purple Breakroom Chairs: Unsure if they will return to their jobs at Lumon after the OTC, MDR sits on purple chairs, symbolizing their move from good Lumon employees to rebels.

Gretchen: Dylan’s outtie spouse is dressed in purple as he continues to find new passion outside of MDR with her.

“Hang in There”: Irving’s last message to MDR—helping his found family rebel, hidden behind a poster of their first act of defiance.

Gemma on the Severed Floor: As Mark undergoes reintegration so he can literally break Gemma out of Lumon because he loves her, she appears to him in purple.
