The First Graft. draws my blorbo all brooding and sexy
if i was actively seeking excruciating mental pain and a lot of snotty crying in theaters, i would have recommended they make stephen, while making the spell for people to forget peter, have an unusual bout of uncertain and stilted speech and say something along the lines of "he didn't make me promise to--but tony would have--wanted me to keep you... he wouldn't have wanted..." and for peter to smile bitterly and shrug a little and say "well. tony--i guess it doesn't really matter any more." everything else can stay and everything else goes as it does in canon.
but of course i am not actively seeking any more excruciating mental pain and snotty sobbing than the movie already gifted me
mark scout, im sorry. i was unfamiliar with your game until you rizzed me w/ it. i was such a champion of pathetic malewife boss mark s. i didn't realize how bad mark scout sucked (huge positive). i love your petty, prickly, angry everything, mr. scout. kiss me in the lumon elevator as you lose all your memories
I’ve think I’ve figured it out
I think I know what MDR is doing and what lumon is doing and where this story is going to go
It’s Orpheus and Eurydice. Eurydice dies and goes to hell, Orpheus descends down there and gets the chance to bring her back, but loses her forever because he turns round to look at her.
If mark is Orpheus, and Gemma is Euridyce, and the severed floor is hell, that means that by going down there as a severed employee Mark got a chance to bring Gemma back, but he’s going to lose it by looking back to find her. By reintegrating.
Gemma died. Like actually died. She wasn’t brain dead and intercepted by lumon. She died, mark identified the body. Somewhere between that and the cremation lumon took her.
Lumon is trying to raise the dead, presumably to bring back Kier (who’s body im sure is being preserved in some horrid cult place of worship somewhere in the depths of lumon) and has been pretty successful so far. At getting the body back. The mind is trickier, and that’s what MDR is doing. They’re tidying up brain waves, trying to bring a persons memory and conciousness back.
That’s why the files expire. The person gets too dead, their brain gets too damaged, and there’s no point trying anymore.
Gemma has been the most successful so far. She’s not just physically alive, but her brain is functioning too. Her position as wellness counsellor was an experiment to see how she interacts with other people, to see how well her consciousness is recovering
Coldharbour is her last file. When it’s done, she’ll be completely back and lumon will have successfully brought a dead person fully back to life, a major milestone for them. If it expires, she’ll be gone forever
Mark reintegrated. He’s going to be suspicious of lumon, suspicious of the work, and so caught up in looking for Gemma he won’t finish cold harbour
He looked back. So he’s going to lose her forever
goddamn i wanted this to be a SKETCH. something definitely went wrong
anya should kill jimmy this anya should abort that well i personally think she should do this
i love this show so goddamn much you have no idea
“do you think i care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference” is more insane than any love confession ever
when you just want everybody to be happy but mark scout loved his wife so much he split himself apart just to give some fraction of him the chance to live without choking on grief every second of the day and mark s. has never known any other love than the one he has with helly, that he's chosen and taken with his own two hands, of his own accord, and now he's reintegrating and it can no longer be ignored that he is not physically two people who loves two people, he is just one body who loves two people and neither deserve to be a second choice. but i want everyone to be happy and end up together happy.
I hope you agree with me, chat
