time stops just like in a child's dream

something that strikes me about helly r as a character is like a certain nature vs. nurture theme...the absolute horror of her character, to me, is realizing that had you been born under a different set of circumstances surrounded by different ideologies and given different opportunities, you might have chosen to do harm and cruelty and evil??? (which she DID) but then there's the flip side of that. that if helly r. at the office with no memories and no history is at her most pure 'nature', than you are also able to say that that evil is not inherent, but was definitely nurtured. and anyway severance is all about how these identity lines and markers get blurred

men will literally split their brain in half instead of going to therapy

Hey I’m not over that tiny 10 second subplot in severance that had a woman undergo severance just so she wouldn’t have to feel the pain of childbirth. The thought of a woman existing with no idea of who she is or where she is just to give birth and then never see the child again and essentially die until this woman has another kid is like. The most terrible horror story I can comprehend
