SEVERANCE (2022 - )

[softedwin]

- Helly asking Mark in the pilot if she was dead and the Severed Floor was Hell.

- Mark and Gemma's story being a spin on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. A man who tries to rescue his deceased wife from being trapped in the Underworld.

- "Well boss, I guess this is the part where I should tell you to go to hell. Except you're already here."

- The musical notes that play during the elevator transition of Outie to Innie being a G and C#. A tritone, also known as the Devil's Interval.

- Mark mentioning Persephone in the latest episode, the Queen of the Underworld. Whose life is split in two, spending half her time down there, and the other half up above in the world of the living.

- "You know, my mother was an atheist. She used to say that there was good news and bad news about hell. The good news is, hell is just the product of a morbid human imagination. The bad news is, whatever humans can imagine, they can usually create."

I want to go home. SEVERANCE | 2x07 | Chikhai Bardo

[softedwin]

no dentist's office. no writing christmas cards. no taking flights. a world where every pain or minor annoyance is dismissed as your consciousness is replaced with a different version of you. a life without pain, or agitation, or monotony. and conversely, a life full of only that for every version of you who experiences the chores you wished to evade.

forget skipping work or school or birth. try everything. never experience anything that expires a negative emotion. the ideal consciousness sold as a product for the price of a version of you that you'll never meet.

but it doesn't matter. you carry the hurt down with you. in your hands, in your mind, your mouth. the grief mark experiences carried into his innie, gemma feeling the pain she experienced in the rooms even after she's been severed.

it doesn't matter. you carry it with you.

Wille in his bad bitch era

[softedwin]

i noticed some parallels about wilhelm's hair

in season one, it's long and youthful. we see him constantly pushing it back. despite the fact that he's not next in line for the throne, he still has responsibilities, still has the pressure to be "perfect" like his brother and keep his life orderly and proper.

in season two, it's been chopped off. he's kind of been stripped of any freedom he has after assuming the role as crown prince. there's bigger expectations placed on him now. but even with this newer, mature haircut, he keeps trying to fix it, as though something's still not quite right.

at the end of season three, we see wille's short hair very messy in comparison to how it's been thus far. he's finally able to just let it be, able to live the life he wants and to stop trying to fit into a role he never wanted. he doesn't have to pretend anymore. he's free.

How to prevent Netflix from cancelling Dead boy detectives? I'm already attached to this series, it will be a pity if another good show just gonna be cancelled after first season

Tell everyone you know, in real life and online, to watch it. Word of mouth is incredibly effective. Be an evangelist for the show.

I think we do not talk enough about Charles saying "I love you too" without hesitation tho
