Harmony Cobel had to be one of the most twisted stalkers on screen, lol, why are you getting involved with his sisters family and newborn baby???

She was pretending to be a whole ass nurse??? Was she actually a nurse??? Why do you keep making him have meetings with his wife????

i’m thinking a lot tonight. imagine being mark scout man. imagine being helly riggs. imagine being dylan george. imagine being irving baliff. imagine being One person for so long, knowing that there’s another version of you outside of four walls around you that doesn’t want Anything to do with you. you’re just a tool to them, something that makes their lives “easier”. and you’re a full person with thoughts and experiences and feelings. you have one idea of who you are and you have no idea what you’re like outside of the walls and you WANT to know. imagine finding out how much of it was bullshit in the finale though. mark finding out that ms. casey was his WIFE??? helly, the anarchist queen that hated her job so much she tried to kill herself, finding out that she is the next in line for lumon? irving finding out that the man he abandoned kier for and he fell in love with not only retired but also was already in a happy relationship NOT with him? dylan STILL not getting to meet his children face-to-face??? they craved these human outside things so so much and had no idea what the fuck was happening with their outies. mark took the job so he could forget his wife just for her to be a constant figure in his work life, one that means nothing to his innie emotionally. helly is mortified to learn that she’s actively supporting and even running the very thing that drove her to attempt suicide. irving just wanted to feel love like anyone would and the love of his life—the only man he had ever loved—was happy with someone else with no recollection of their relationship. dylan, again, still not even knowing his children’s names or how many he has. i feel so much about those four little workers, i really really hope severance gets that second season just to let them be happy.

severance theory. lumon is trying to create new sentient life forms. to clone organic beings, synthetically grow ones, and/or in effect create "new people" via the severance procedure. what do all these life forms do? they serve lumon, they serve kier. at its core, lumon is simply a cult. kier is their god, and with advanced technology, they're carrying out god-like actions in his name.

they're not only trying to create beings, but create- and perfect- consciousness. kier's philosophy was tempering the mind by refining the 4 qualities inherent in every person. they want to refine as much of humanity as possible. this might be achieved by "creating" unsullied people via severance, as well as killing off people for some reason/who are perhaps deemed as beyond saving.

lastly, they likely want to resurrect kier eagan. at least his consciousness- maybe implanted into a new body. maybe they're trying to figure out how to prolong life, either by retaining one's consciousness or increasing the lifespan of their body.

rewatched severance and it was insane so here are some things that i love about the show

mark and devon's "m'lord/m'lady" bit. beautiful. no notes

the implication that before helly, the four refiners (mark, dylan, irv, petey) were besties and had bits together (stickyhead, mark farting/making fart noises during petey's announcements, "stand normal"), sang songs together (the elevator song), shared secrets and conspiracies, and deeply trusted and loved one another

dylan's general attitude toward everything, the way he swears like no one i've ever heard and yet in the most pleasing way? (the egg bar is coveted as fuck)

the dichotomy between outie mark thinking ricken is ridiculous and pompous vs innie mark thinking he's so profound. ricken has found his target audience

irv literally losing his religion because of burt. like he literally found love and decided god sucks if he doesn't want them to be together

innie mark saying he hopes he has things he cares about in the real world (i cried)

when helly is looking at the wax figure of (who she will later find out is) her father, and then she walks past a sign immediately after that says "History lives in us, whether we learn it or not."

that's all i have rn but feel free to add ur own bc there are SO many things in this show that make me want to eat my tv

Dylan, why are you doing this, man? Come on. You are the refiner of the quarter! I bet the tempers were disappointed. I can still get you back in there.

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!!!!

Severance is eldritch horror. Dylan meets his son, and, in the blink of an eye, he's back to his outie self and is incapable of coming back at will. Can you imagine that? All you've know your entire life is work. All you know about yourself is what your job is. Then, suddenly, you're aware that you're a father. Your son comes into a closet---your closet, with clothes you've never worn but belong to you. You bought them. You're seeing your style and preferences for the first time. Your son is so happy to see you that he wraps you in a hug. You don't know what his name is. You don't know that you have more children. You don't remember any of them being born. You only know that this boy is your son because he calls you "daddy". And then you're gone. He's gone. You wake up in your office with absolutely no way of going back.

Helly wants to leave. She learns that she's the daughter and heiress to the man/company who is keeping her trapped. Her chance of escaping rests entirely on her outies willingness to let her go. This is never going to happen. Her power rests in the hands of a woman who is her but also not her. She is enslaved to herself. All she has to do is go outside and say "I don't want this anymore" and she will be free! The moment she steps outside, she loses every desire to do that. The person she is when she's outside does not want to do that. She watches a video of herself where she tells herself "you are not [a person]". The person she was when she sat down to record it and the person she was when she watched it are somehow entirely different and entirely the same. She tries to hang herself in order to hurt the version of herself who made that video. I'd like to take a second to talk about the eldritch horror of being an outie, too. Imagine being outie Helly. Imagine walking into work and bring perfectly okay. The next thing you know, you've hung yourself and are actively suffocating. You have no way of saving yourself. Your innie self made sure of that. You are in the process of dying and you don't remember why.

Burt retires from his job. Burt, who has just started to fall in love, is ripped away from the man he loves because of... Well, himself. His outie has decided to retire, and Burt has no choice but to follow him. He is him. Except he's not. Except he is. Except he's not because the man who has decided to retire is married. In Burt's retirement video, his outie states that he's aware that someone is making his innie very happy. He knows that it's another man. That's incredibly scary? Imagine having no memory of the last eight hours but being able to feel the effects that they have on you? Imagine going into work in whatever mood, and then leaving in an elated one and having no concrete idea as to why. Imagine being faithfully married and knowing that there's a part of your day where you don't know that you're married. You have absolutely zero control over whether you cheat on your husband. You do cheat on your husband! You are not aware of his existence while you're living as your innie. You have no clue how devastated you've left the man you're cheating on your husband with. You have no clue why he's banging on your door in the middle of the night. You don't know him. Even without your memories, you can feel how happy he makes you. Your husband is holding you while he bangs on the door.

Mark saves Helly from suicide. He's forced to leave work. If Burt is anything to go by then Mark, the outie, is suddenly extremely distressed and crying while having no idea as to why. He walked into work okay and left with tears on his cheeks. Suddenly, innie mark is at a party. He sees people who he knows but has never met before. He has no idea the woman standing in front of him is his sister. He sees a photo of a woman that all the people in the outside world believe to be dead. He works with this woman. She's alive! He has the power to change the lives of the people outside. He's gone in the flick of a switch. Outie mark doesn't remember shouting "she's alive". He doesn't know why everyone is staring at him funny. He doesn't know that his wife is not dead. He doesn't know that the person he's trying so hard to forget is his co-worker.

Irving. Poor Irving. The man he loves is taken away from him. They will never see each other again. Even if they do, they will not know each other. The man he loves gets to live the rest of his life without the knowledge that he ever even met Irving. Irving has to walk into work every day and mourn the loss of a man who will never come back. This man is not dead. He's just not himself. Except he is. Except he's not. Except he kinda is dead. Without work, your innie is effectively dead. Your innie and outie are two completely different people. Irving used to follow all the rules. Who knew that the heart of a rebel is born from the broken pieces of a good man's? Irving gets a chance to find the man he loves. He finds him embracing another man. This does not deter him. He throws his weight at the door and starts banging on it.
