it’s gemmahelly wednesday

[whoreiorcats]

we want your thoughts as to where gemma would go from here btw xx

OK so. if you really want to know what I WANT to happen, read the stone.

I don't necesarily think that everything I wrote here will come true, but I do believe some kind of dynamic between Helly and/or Helena and Gemma will be explored next season. We have the Helly/Helena switcheroo set up and Gemma is outside, so it feels natural enough.

I could see Gemma having sympathy for Helena (somehow we would get there, trust) and that being used to help guide the general audience (which is still largely dubious on Helena) into also feeling that way.

The parallels between them were how I came to appreciate Helena's character a lot more than I had before. Among the non-nuance fucker tumblr audience, Gemma seems to be a favorite and garners basically 100% sympathy, so that might have to be the gateway into Helena for the normals (I don't think that's a bad thing, per se).

Outside of that, I really hope that Gemma gets to be somewhat outside of the characterization we've already seen for her. Her environment is neither the familiar world of her pre-Lumon life nor is it the monotony/horror of her Lumon life.

She is naturally going to be in a very unstable, unpredictable environment where it feels like she could be recaptured or assassinated at any moment and there is much to be done still to fight back against those who imprisoned her. She really should respond to this scenario differently than she did the other two.

I could see her being a bit hardened, but I do want her to remain Gemma. I really don't want her to react to the situation the exact same way Mark has (which I have seen some people suggest as an interesting option, I simply disagree) because A) she has very different baggage and characteristics than mark, and B) that would be boring because we would be retreading old ground.

If the shoe was on the other foot, if Mark's death had been faked and Gemma left on the surface, I don't believe she would have severed (tho I do need to read that one fic where she did because undeniably it's a fun concept). I don't think she would/will be unaffected by Mark's absence from her life, but she will react in her own "extraordinary" way, imo.

I think her having way more sympathy/empathy for the innies than any of the other "outies" would make a lot of sense--she should be able to relate to them in a way no one else can. She could be an advocate on their behalf, even though she is wanting to have her husband back--great opportunity for angst and drama. I think she makes a lot of sense as someone who can keep a level head and her morals about her even in an extreme situation like this.

I particularly would love to see her still being the rock for her in laws and eventually getting really fucking tired of it and trying to do her own thing, whatever that might be fucking helena eagan who said that?

Long term, I don't want her and Mark to just be married again and that's it; I think it would be very weird if we just returned to the pre-canon status quo. Again, if you want to know what I really want, it's in the stone (or will be eventaully), what I think could happen is pretty different (tho I am eternally hopeful).

I really truly think endgame markgemhel is not off the table in the slightest. If Gemma ends up single or not in any way with Mark (also fully on the table imo), I think Dan must have something interesting planned for her. I hope hope hope, anyway. I am fairly positive she will survive to the end of the series (I am not sure if Hellyna or Mark S/cout are as safe), at this point it would be insane and annoying to kill her off, so I think it's a no on that front.

Sometimes I think I'm fucking crazy, sometimes I think endgame GemmaHellyna is fully plausible and even foreshadowed and inevitable, but we'll see. They're just perfect reflections/inversions of the other, it will be complete waste if SOME kind of relationship (romantic, platonic, worse) between them is not explored.

This is a weird side thing but I kind of don't want her to kill Mauer, like with her own hands or actions. I think she has proven herself to be a badass and someone (idk Cobel) could kill him for her. I do want her to live in a Mauerless world, I just also think she deserves a break.

And in so far as reintegration, I wonder if that is even possible for her? My guess is yes but it will be a lot more complicated--which is on top of an already dangerous procedure. I could see them OTCing one of her innies to fuck with her and the anti-Lumon resistance and reintegration being the only way to resurface "Gemma". Rebel/Coghabi team up? Three ladies with PhDs work it out :))))))) life could be dream

I think that is all of my future Gemma thoughts!

britt lower really said everyone is welcome to interpret helly's look at gemma across the hallway however they like but EYE know she's gay for gemma

[sailorsally]

gemmahelena is top tier because imagine meeting your captor and hating them at first but then gradually realizing that even though the company that enslaved you is run by her family she too is just as much a slave to them as you, if not more. just two girls fighting for some fucking autonomy and falling in love along the way 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩 ‼️

[sailorsally]

I'm so excited for severance S3!!! cannot wait to see Gemma and Hellyna kiss with tongue AND overthrow Lumon while Mark(s) watch(es) from the sidelines hooting and hollering for both of them!!

When Dichen Lachman said "I'd imagine fans will propose a thouple situation" and when Britt Lower said "A woman simply looking across the hall at another woman can be interpreted in so many ways". Queens 👑👑🌈

Gemmahellynas shall inherit the earth

[ohwhatagloomyshow]

soothing my ego by stepping out of my writing comfort zone for some toxic gemmahellyna yuri. It slaps, actually.

some self-indulgent posting -

posted the soft cozy but pretty crucial character-building-y chapter of my fic at 1am last night and it’s gotten. A single comment. The last chapter got 6 chapters in the first 5 hours. Does everyone hate it. Do they hate me now. Where did everybody go.

I know I posted at 1am but it’s been. A Full Day by now. Several non-work hours, even. Feeling quite 🧍‍♀️about it atm.
