People who don’t get the pregnancy motif in Severence and then turn around and get mad about it drive me crazy. ITS THE LOSS OF AUTONOMY AND RIGHTS SHOW! ITS THE MAKING A NEW PERSON TO CARRY YOUR BURDEN SHOW! Of COURSE pregnancy is a theme. It’s not like the show is being weird about it?? Do we not trust the show runners?? If Helena is pregnant I fully expect them to use it as a horrific plot point! If it’s the direction it’s going to be full of horror and plot twists (probally back alley abortion via Helly tbh. Bc you KNOW Helena would use Helly to give birth like that one Senator lady did).

#people who thought Gemma’s struggles were weird too???#like ???#it’s a reoccurring theme #I’d get it if it was a less well run show #but I trust the show runners to handle it in an interesting way #we literally have so many cool female characters #Also Gemma is in turbo hell I want to hear NO WORDS against her #free my girl #severence #but really you guys don’t see how pregnancy as a motif slots ROGHT NEXT TO the loss of autonomy and personhood themes #the whole bringing another person into teh world to suit your needs #and living vicariously through them #you don’t see the obvious metaphor #PLEASE guys #engage with the stuff they are setting uppppp
