OLD MAN YAOI BRACKET ROUND 2

Propaganda:

Irving Bailiff/Burt Goodman:

they are TRAPPED in capitalist dystopian hell and yet gay love persists. literally they are fighting for their got damn lives to be gay. they've been subjected to evil fucked up brain surgery to make them forget who they are outside of the workplace and yet. AND YET. they fall in love INSIDE the workplace and gain the desire to fight their oppressors so they can do old man yaoi activities. i forgot to take my adderall today sorry im not forming coherent thoughts but they made christopher walken yaoi real

They have only ever experienced being at work and are desperately trying to find meaning with no memory of the outside world. Fraternization is against the rules as well. The yearning is so much.

they are 2 sad old men who are in forbidden love. they bond over a mutal love of corporate art & company tote bags. their love inspired Irving to rebel against his employers for the first time ever. Burt is even Christopher Walken.

They’re so quietly sweet and heart-wrenching… fell in love on the ‘inside’ (they both work a job that ‘severs’ their work memories from their out-of-work memories; inside the job, they have no idea who they are on the outside or what the world is like, but they found each other and found a little bit of love and meaning and happiness inside the nightmare corporate world that is their job)

canonically in love with each other! in the show people sever their consciousness so they aren't aware when they're working. this creates a separate person that only exists while they're at the office, who doesn't share any memories with the person they are on the outside. these two old men bond and find comfort in each other despite the dystopian hell situation they're in

Old men having a forbidden romance while stuck in a hellish workplace dystopia

These two old men know nothing outside of their company propaganda, which says romance is forbidden, and they still choose each other. They bond over paintings, discuss company policy in each other's arms like they're debating scripture on whether their love is allowed. They're sooo gay and it's so sweet to see true, canonical old man yaoi

Weird old man office romance except they only exist inside the bounds of the world’s worst office building and they go on a little date to a room full of plastic plants

Ravenpaw/Barley:

kitties who were outcast from previous groups they were a part of and find and live with each other. they are canonical mates even though theyre both dudes. they grow old together, but ravenpaw gets cancer and dies before barley (he lives to be considered old in warrior cats years). however ravenpaw wanted to be in the same kitty afterlife that barley will go to, so they can be together in kitty afterlife. barley is still alive though as far as we know and might be the oldest living cat in the series now. also i just think its funny to call little kitty cats "old man yaoi"

I am shocked that they invented something *worse* than bury your gays. Create a second version of yourself that is still gay and falls in love with another second version of somebody. But you still have your outside life where you are alone except for your dog and the man you fell in love with is happily married to another man. He's not straight, you weren't his awakening but he was yours and he's happy with another man but you're still lonely and the version of him who loves you and whom you love is dead now and you can never see him again holy shit I'm crying about Irving from severance again please I'm broken

[homely-lunatic]

me: so a lot of people theorized that burt and irving were actually a married couple on the outside and thats why their innies were so immediately drawn to each other, and everyone was a little disappointed this wasnt the case, but I actually think the opportunity for the opposite to happen in season 2 — burt and irving's outies falling in love as a result of their innies' love transcending severance — is infinitely more interesting and thematically relevant. throughout the first season we're shown and even outright told that innies aren't seen as real people, when its evident that they are real people with real experiences and personalities that are separate from their outies. a storyline where two innies fall in love as a mere byproduct of their outies already being in love almost reinforces the idea that innies aren't people, in a sense pushing the idea they're unable to form genuine connections without those connections preexisting for their "real" self. but having two outies fall in love as the result of their innies only goes to show that the experiences these people have while in lumon are just as real and valid and capable of transcending severance and having an impact on their lives outside. its not just a case of "outies are the real people and their innie's experiences are simply a byproduct of theirs" its "outies and innies are both real people sharing a body and their respective experiences have the potential to bleed through in both directions and impact both of their lives" and I think thats just going to be a way better way to take the story in the long run

I can’t believe they’re taking Aziraphale to the severed floor 😔

[magiclamd]

Just rip my bloody heart out with middle-aged queer romance why don’t you, popular entertainment

[percheduphere]

These spot the difference games are getting out of control.

Futuristic, Mid-century Dystopian office environment?

Gentleman with a fine mustache?

Work Husbands?

Romantic tension?

A love that dare not speak its name?

The Loki series might have been able to get away with a gentle head-press. God, I need Severance back.

[buuuuuuuu3]

Chat what’s worse having a life where you only exist to do this very monotonous desk job until they kill you or only existing when you’re pregnant??? Be honest!!!!
