hahaha thank you Finn!!

This was so hard because I want SO many things. But then when I was thinking i realized that so much of what i want boils down to....uh...more weird sexual situations. Sorry that's not the most intellectual or holistic answer but it's what i feel in my heart. I think bringing sex into a show so fundamentally about autonomy and personhood and identity was just brilliant the way they did it in s2 and I want to explore that further in s3. I want omark to wake up in the middle of having sex with helly...or omark getting flashes of helly/helena while in bed with gemma...i want there to be MORE tension between mark and helly wrt him sleeping with helena cause I don't think that's totally resolved yet...i want imark to meet helena again and be mad at her but also undeniably attracted to her and sympathetic towards her. I want something fucked up to go down between helena and omark. idk!! I don't even have specifics in mind I just want these dynamics to be all fleshed out in their shameful, bizarre, horny glory.

AM I UP FOR ASKS ABOUT SEV?????? IS THE SKY BLUE IS GRASS GREEN??? I HAVE PRAYED FOR DAYS LIKE THESE!!!!!

Yes, i eat those sappy imarkhelly fics up, but the asshole4asshole potential is off the walls regardless... even the bite they'd have while together is insane and if the trust is somewhat restored would be insane. The post atilla to CH time frame has so much potential for that and so does s3.

oh of course!! Honestly i haven't gotten an anon in AGES so it was actually v exciting for me lmao.

The beauty of the ship is that they can be so sappy and yet so toxic and tragic depending on what combo it is. Or any combo. Despite how markhelly have come together as a united front and communicated healthily to repair their relationship after woe's hollow, there's still so much room for friction between them in s3 and I think that's so exciting and interesting. I love that the writers didn't drag out a will-they-won't-they thing between mark and helly after him and helena slept together. They could've so easily done it and so many writers would've. There's already a long tradition of shows where the writers are afraid of what getting the main characters together would mean and where the conflict would come from if it's not from that tension of if they're going to fuck or not. But the severance writers rightly concluded that there's so much to explore with mark and helly's relationship even when their feelings for each other are confirmed. I mean of course it's easy to say that when there's still basically three other versions of them that AREN'T together and aren't comfortably in love. But STILL! I love seeing complex couples on my screen and I would like more of that from imarkhelly in s3...more of them being a couple and all of the complications that come along with that, especially given the fucked up four-way situation they're in lol. It likely won't last for long until they're forced off the severed floor but I'll take any crumbs I can get.

There's a reason why so many markhelly fics take place in an imagined time between attila and CH...it's so endlessly tragic to me that they only got that one day to figure out sex with each other and affirm their feelings. I KNOW helly was horny as fuck on top of being worried sick while mark was absent those two days!!!
