You dumb motherfucker life isn't about smelling flowers or feeling radiant sunshine on your skin or making meals with your loved ones. You idiot son of a bitch. It's about apps. It's about scrolling through apps.

SEVERANCE 1.05 – The Grim Barbarity of Optics and Design // 2.03 – Who Is Alive?
Severance is a story about capitalism profiting out of a poor person's grief. It's so obvious now and so well done I can't believe at some point we thought it would be about clones and sht
I hate the show community because I started it to have a show that wouldn’t hurt me and now I’m crying because two dorks are playing the floor is lava
I love the character herself and I love the “arc” she has within the game – as a horror (movie) fan, I think hers is probably the best if I’m honest. You start the game and instantly she’s seen as a bitchy, sexually confident woman, then when you’ve finished the game there are two different outcomes:
She either serves her purpose as the first girl to die – the girl who’s “slutty” and in turn gets punished for it – or alternatively, you can have her be a character that defies all odds and becomes a story of desperate survival.
No matter what happens, ultimately the character still serves the purpose her trope creates – she gets punished for being sexual. She either dies horribly, or she gets unbelievably traumatized and almost dies multiple times. While the trope of punishing the sexual woman within horror movies is undoubtedly controversial and “problematic,” I think the game takes a really unique spin on it by offering up the choice of keeping all characters alive.
To be honest, I think she’s probably stronger material for a character who’s a play on the “final girl” trope too. She gets pulled into the mines, most usually during a state of undress so she’s also at a state of vulnerability, and right before she’s saved by her boyfriend – the “hero” – she falls deeper into the mines and is assumedly trapped, beyond saving. Only she gets up, with multiple scratches and scars upon her skin and a broken leg, and uses her quick-thinking into surviving until dawn. And she has everything against her – not just the trope of “slutty girl dies first,” but also the fact that Mike assumes she’s dead. She’s not, but he doesn’t know that so he’s now stopped trying to rescue her. She’s all alone with two Wendigos now chasing her. But despite it all, she can survive. Everything is working against her, but she can survive. And I love it.
(There’s a fuck ton I could gush about – like how she’s arguably a rather progressive spin on the trope her character is meant to be, the existential dread and misery that can be brought upon by her survival, etc., but I think y'all get the point. Jessica is a queen and I love her)
no offense but Emily slapping Ashley in Until Dawn is the most iconic thing I’ve ever seen in a video game.
i love love LOVE how troy is always so excited to be in abed's documentaries and looks directly at the cameras pretty often--especially since abed doesn't like it when others do, but is soft enough for troy to let him be the exception. especially in the changnesia documentary ep (s4ep6) when troy is excited to be with annie as "partner and houlihan" he gives the camera a thumbs up--and abed, who is holding the camera, gives him a thumbs up back?!?!?!?
I like imagining the study group live reacting to my professors sometimes. As enrichment.
