Hey so what even is severance about? I feel like you'd do a good job explaining because I'm intrigued but also confused

Okay so there are three things you need to know first:

'Severance' is a procedure in which they put a little doodad in your brain that basically causes you to lose all memory of the 'outside' world when you're working on the severed/basement floors of Lumon and also causes you to lose all memory of what you do at Lumon when you're not there. So you basically have two different sets of memories, your 'innie' memories of what you do at work and your 'outie' memories of what you do outside of work. This also means you can have two different personalities - your work!sona and your regular!sona

Lumon is a huge biotech corporation that does everything but also ??? It's very Fringe Massive Dynamic. So Lumon was founded by Kier Eagan in the 1860s that's pretty much the only concrete thing we know about it for sure. It's super culty and employees are basically expected to worship Kier and all that he stands for. There are several departments at Lumon including Macrodata Refinement, which is where our main characters work

Macrodata Refinment is a department in which the characters are.... refining data, but we have no idea what this data is. Neither do they. But according to the MDR handbook they gave us at SDCC last year, you sort the numbers presented to you on a computer into one of four categories - WO, FC, DR, and MA. WO "elicit melancholy or despair", FC "elicit joy, gaiety, or ecstasy", DR "elicit fear, anxiety, or apprehension", and WO "elicit rage or a desire to do harm".

SO. What Severance is about is a guy named Mark S. who's a macrodata refiner at Lumon. When his wife died, he was so depressed over it that he decided to get severed so he could be rid of the pain for at least a little bit. His fellow refiners are Helly R., Dylan G., and Irving B.

In vaguely spoiler-free terms, Mark gets pulled into a conspiracy that perhaps Lumon is actually pretty fucked up and learns that his wife who isn't his wife but might be his wife is actually alive. Maybe? Helly is new and absolutely hates working at Lumon and tries her damndest to get out there. She does not succeed. Irving keeps hallucinating black goop but that's totally normal, also he experiences a gay awakening with Christopher Walken. Dylan wins a waffle party but also finds out he has a son so he activates the overtime contingency and sends pretty much everything at Lumon into a tailspin except not really.

There are also other characters like Ms. Cobel who manages the severed floor in S1 and is off her shits (complementary). Mr. Milchick is the floor's supervisor and he definitely isn't paid enough for everything those dingdongs put him through. Mark has a sister named Devon and she's married to Ricken who sucks but wrote a "self-help" book that becomes a pretty important plot device.

Where we're at now is things are different but also the same. We still don't know what the hell Lumon is doing, what is Cold Harbor, who the hell was Irving talking to in the phone booth, how much does Burt know???, what the hell does it mean that Irving keeps seeing the same hallway that Ms. Casey went into but also has her flickering in and out with Helly in the new opening titles, WHAT is the deal with Ms. Huang, how bad is Helena's break going to be when she realizes she's finally had enough, etc etc aaaaaaaaaaa

do you prefer lemons or limes?

what is your favorite fruit?

what are your thoughts on chocolate covered peanuts

thank you for these, vicky! ❤️

limes for sure! i'm not really a citrussy person tbh, but if i had the option with drink flavour, i'd go lime because it's got a bit more of something to it, if that makes sense?

bananas!! i have one for breakfast every morning (i did forget to eat breakfast twice this week though, and boy did my stomach tell me about it on the way to work)

yes, yes, and YES! if it's dark chocolate, i am 100% there too 😍

last song: bad reviews by sabrina carpenter

favorite color: green!!! usually a darker deep green, but i also like a kind of sage-y vibe too

last movie: i genuinely do not know. it has been A Hot Minute since i watched a movie. the last film i saw in theaters was nosferatu though if that counts?? oh wait!! my friend and i watched this movie from i think the 80s i can’t remember what it was called but it was basically like if alien happened at the bottom of the ocean. some wild shit.

last tv show: i should probably be embarrassed for watching this defunct spin off but my mom and i are currently watching private practice, bc we didn’t watch greys yet when it was airing but now we’ve watched greys TWICE and station 19 as it aired and we were looking for something to mindlessly binge and we were like. eh. i like addison enough. let’s go. it’s been a slow beginning but i’m getting more into it. it is so much lighter than greys like, emotionally. i literally haven’t cried one time and were in season 2. it’s mostly just patients being batshit crazy

last thing i googled: ok well a) i use duck duck go and b) it’s “what is my undertone”. still not sure tbh

looking forward to: i’m going to hawaii next week for an 8 day vacation that’s been in the works since my diagnosis and im sooooo excited about it.

current obsession: unfortunately i do not have one, which makes my days empty and weird. even my normal backups are not working.

it’s been a minute since i’ve been like regularly using tumblr in any meaningful way so i can barely think of anyone to tag but here’s a no pressure tag list(if we’re friends and you’re not on this it is bc i passed up so many variations of bucktommmy or 911 usernames bc idk who’s who and im pulling the chemo brain card about it): @userautumn @kirkaut @honestlydarkprincess @crocophant @constance-dartagnan @jermapridelesbian @playingfetchwithdinosaurs

[bcyoureallthatmakessense]

you can't just say you have beef with the cult classic film the nightmare before christmas and not elaborate on it

I snorted so fucking loud at this 😂😭

1. Too many people i know/have known have made it their entire personality and there are some awful memories attached to it

2. People hail it as the best stop motion picture ever made when James & the Giant Peach, Chicken Run, Wallace & Gromit, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (plus rtrr island of misfit toys) AND THE YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS EXIST. There are so many others, too.

3. Gets toted as Tim Burtons best movie when Mars Attacks, Sleepy Hollow and Beetlejuice are RIGHT THERE

4. Tim Burton is NOT the director of NMBC, that's Henry Selick. Tim Burton was the producer tho. BUT MY BEEF HERE is that tb had NOTHING to do with coraline and often gets associated with it and people like. Forget selick exists.

Anyways basically I don't get the hype (I I have definitely been a hype girl (gn) before. obviously I'm on tumblr dot com) and it has bad memories and annoyances

So i hate it.

@playingfetchwithdinosaurs tagged me for the last line challenge and I decided to take similar liberties by including two lines.

She’s close enough to see every shade of brown in his captivating gaze, close enough breathe in his comforting, familiar scent, close enough to notice the subtle blush spreading on his cheeks. “Nancy? Is there uh… is there something on my face?”

I'm not quite sure who to tag so if anyone wants to share something feel free <3

5. how do you like your eggs? poached! i do love eggs florentine, so on the rare occasion i get to go out for brunch those are my go to choice! i did used to like scrambled a lot too, but butter and milk are two things i'm still too scared to have in anything again

Her fingers work at disinfecting the wound on his hip, but she’s not even sure if she’s doing it correctly because his words have her in a trance. She can’t tear her gaze from him, raw sincerity swimming in hazel eyes.

She looks at him for a second more before kissing him, pressing their lips together with so much force, she’s afraid she’s going to break teeth, but who cares about teeth, those can be replaced. The precious time she has with him can’t.

not totally in love with the word replaced here but it's a draft it'll do for the mean time
