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
"Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly."

She dwelt so close,
I almost touched her;
Tonight she lies
Past neighbourhood—
And bough and steeple—
Now past surmise.

If the gluttony song is this sexy how the hell am I supposed to survive the lust one????
It’s either going to be filthy or extremely political

(Aka: A Devotional Act)
Bite and rip and tear, stain my lips and hands and hair, burst and bleed inside my bite, rubies torn from fleshy white. The energy a heartbeat in my hands, a feat of violence on an effigy to hold my hate and envy as I Rage, Rage, Rage. A heart--at least, a substitute-- pulses weak as I consume. Plucked, like I have claws, or a swathe gone to my jaws: the seeds sting my tongue. I have no mercy. I'm not done, I Rage, Rage, Rage, Until my hands drip with the slaughter, and my chin is crimson-covered, my counter strewn with carnage: Until I sate the rage.
sometimes I will just be minding my business and very suddenly and vividly remember that emily dickinson wrote the line “my life had stood - a loaded gun” and I have to live with that truly what the hell
If Dracula Daily is reading the travel blog of our good friend Jonathan, Voyage of the Nautilus is reading the diary of a 40 year old man writing about his crush (and the cool field trips his crush takes him on) in pink glitter gel pen while kicking his feet
