DAaaamn ok everybody already knew this but Severance has SO much rewatch value?? I mean, it's only my first rewatch, I can't possibly catch everything, but it's all hitting me so severely I feel the need to write it down -- gotta get the emotions out, y'know?
Spoilers under the cut because, seriously, the tension and unanswered questions MAKE this show -!
Knowing that Helly is an Eagan makes me realize how much I didn't notice about her orientation? Milchick saying "when we heard you were coming here, it was like a miracle" is something that feels like a big enough hint that I should've noticed it as weird ("maybe she's important?") but I quickly forgot under the tension of the rest of the show.
Helena's reaction in that scene was SO peculiar to me, too. She seems a little shaky realizing "I really don't wanna be in there" and it makes me wonder -- is the "true believer" she shows to Helly when admonishing her for threatening her fingers... Her real self?
Did her family pressure her into this? How much, if so?
And, and the fact that one of her orientation questions on the table is "What is Kier Eagan's favorite breakfast?" and THEN in episode 2 we see that 2 hours earlier Milchick had said "Did you know his favorite breakfast was 3 raw eggs mixed with milk?"
It's a diagnostic question.
It's something so recent, so weird, so vivid that if the Innie remembers they know the surgery failed.
Fuck, dude.
Between this and Petey's "I'm your best friend. You're my very good friend" line last episode -- and the BRILLIANT sense of normalcy and Episode 1 camaraderie that helps contextualize the rest of the series as an absolute Emergency for all characters involved --
I'm so glad I gave into the urge to rewatch lmaoo
It's only been a week since I finished it but still

Imagine a transgender Severed worker
What if a severed trans person woke up on the table and instantly knew what gender they were, even if their outie hadn't quite figured it out yet? Maybe a trans man wakes up in that elevator every day wearing a skirt and blouse and desperately hopes one day his outie will figure it out soon and stop wearing stuff that's so dysphoria inducing.
Or what if that's why they're severed in the first place? Mark severed because he wanted to get away from the grief about his wife, maybe there's a severed trans woman that did the same thing. Maybe she decided to undergo the severance procedure just so that for 8 hours a day she wouldn't have to be in her body anymore, someone else would. God it would suck if she was doing voice training but her innie didn't know how to do that, so she wouldn't be able to practice while at work.
Maybe there's an outie that knows they're nonbinary, but their innie doesn't know because the Lumon handbook doesn't mention anything about more than two genders, so their innie is just stuck feeling really weird about gender and not knowing why or what to do about it.
Idk if Severance ever explore this kind of thing but I'd love for them to somehow

Hi. I can create custom Lumon documents for you.
General announcements list. Outie facts sheet. Senior Refiner Checklist with custom points. Music Dance Experience sheet with custom genres or anything. Custom colored Lumon post-it notes. Lumon employee ID card with custom info.
(I made a template for the card and checklist, but I can pull up my original document files for these and use the correct font/size/color/etc to make it look truly legit.)
This would be free. Just message me here at @tv-analyst with your request & customized info. I won't share it anywhere; it'll get sent to you when done.
