PLEASE TELL ME NO ONE ELSE MADE THESE FIRST
And it is possible that I am alone in an empty universe, speaking to no one, unaware that the world is held aloft merely by my delusions and my smooth, sonorous voice
There's so much lore. An original soundtrack (masterlist here, thanks to @thisisnotjuli). It all began with a pair of boots. Then, a movie poster by @beelzeebub:

I showed her heights she never saw—
“Woulds’t climb?” I said,
She said, “Not so” —
“With me?” I said, “With me?”
I showed her secrets
Morning’s nest,
The rope that Nights were put across—
And now, “Would’st have me for a Guest?”
And she could not find her yes—
And then, I brake my life, and lo!
A light for her, did solemn glow,
The larger, as her face withdrew—
And could she, further, no?

therapy can't replace getting so angry alone in your room you feel lightheaded
i love how for better or worse, the women of severance simply don't fuck around. ms. cobel is a terrifying enemy to be up against, her violent outbursts make her feel unpredictable at times but they don't even hinder her, if anything they make her even more threatening because she's so calculating and unstoppable. she's ready at all times to either rip someone's throat out or ruin their life.
then helly, my beloved, is so fierce even as a blank slate of a person. if she can't have her freedom, then she'll make her captor pay the ultimate price even if it means she dies too. i don't even need to say anything else, you all know. you know her scenes by heart. even helena is so determined to make her mark at lumon that she'll undergo severance and become someone she sees as beneath herself. she'll craft this 'happy worker at the perfect company' narrative all to further her cause even as her life is at risk because that worker is deadset on killing her from the inside. the duality of this character.
and devon keeps coming in clutch. she gives no quarter to mr. milchick and is ready to protect innie!mark because she recognizes that he and her brother are one and the same. she's further from lumon than the rest of the characters but she sees the situation clearly, and even though she doesn't know how to help in the long term of this situation she's doing everything that she can in the short term. without her, who even knows how much deeper mark would be in his own grief, addiction and isolation. she's literally caring for her new baby and her grieving brother at the same time that she's figuring out this conspiracy, she's got a lot on her shoulders
