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.

this rewatch is hitting different

#like . i havent really flushed out my point here but like #the break room would be the place to use audio to drudge up some form of remorse/dread/pain #like to illicit some sort of emotional response/manipulate the workers #and a crying baby for dylan and an angry mumbly guy for helly makes sense #i wonder what it would be for mark and irving hmmmm #severance #severance spoilers

“you smug motherfucker. you’re not severed. you walk out of here with your memories, you carry them home with you every night. no one can rip them away from you, snuff them out, like they never existed. like you never existed!”

ONE OF THE BEST LINES FROM SEVERANCE HOOOOLY FUCK I GET LIGHTHEADED THINKING ABOUT IT

I know it's easy to assume Lumon caused or faked Gemma's car accident but to me there's something really compelling about the possibility that they didn't. If they're truly doing medical research to save gravely injured people (and at what cost? Their freedom? Their entire personality?) that makes it so much harder to grapple with their cruelty

that both versions of irving care about art, in their respective available capacities, even though they have entirely different lives and memories… that irving’s outer self is able to paint what only his inner self has ever seen… that his inner self dreams of paint….. that mark’s inner self is able to channel the memory and emotion of the tree through sculpted clay… the transcendence/power/endurance of art… despite it all………

#im emotional about art as a concept #what else is new!!!!!!!!!!! #for everyone in the tags. just so you know. this post is about the power of art first and severance the tv series second. #and irving third. #crucially it IS still about irving. but only Third. #severance #severance spoilers #irving bailiff

Severance | Wolf 359 - Memoria

I will soar, then, beyond this power of my nature, and rise by degrees towards him who made me. I enter the fields and spacious halls of memory, where are stored the countless images that have been brought into them from all manner of things by the senses. There, in the memory, is stored what we cogitate, either by enlarging or reducing our perceptions, or by altering one way or another those things which the sense have made contact with; and everything else that has been entrusted to it and stored up in it, and which oblivion has not yet swallowed up and buried. 

Hera... what was that?

Umm, it's from St. Augustine. Confessions. I've been going through the writing, and -

Which writing?

Well... all the writing.

Something I find really interesting about severance is Hellys willingness to fight. From the beginning I thought she must be infiltrating the severance floor as part of the organization trying to outlaw the severance procedure, because of how unwilling she was to accept her life there and her strong sense of right and wrong. I thought the true Helly R must exist in this version of her, some kind of freedom fighter type. But then the twist is she’s the opposite. Her “innie” has the strength that her “outie” never had, she’s a doormat who does what her father expects of her, who upholds this company with an almost religious zeal, she severed herself to help the companies PR! Mark is the same on the inside and out, Helly on the outside has been so beaten down she’s almost unrecognizable. Crazy!!
