"I knew she was trouble the second she walked into my 24-hour deli, laundromat, and detective agency, and after dropping a load of unmentionables in one of the heavy-duty machines (a mistake that would soon turn deadly) she turned to me, asking for two things: find her missing husband and make her a salami on rye with spicy mustard, breaking into tears when I told her I couldn't help—I was fresh out of salami."

okay so not that anyone asked, but i spruced up my lup comic because i can and its important to me. 

This is a comment someone appended to a photo of two men apparently having sex in a very fancy room, but it’s also kind of an amazing two-line poem? “His Wife has filled his house with chintz” is a really elegant and beautiful counterbalancing of h, f, and s sounds, and “chintz” is a perfect word choice here—sonically pleasing and good at evoking nouveau riche tackiness. And then “to keep it real I fuck him on the floor” collapses that whole mood with short percussive sounds—but it’s still a perfect iambic pentameter line, robust and a lovely obscene contrast with the chintz in the first line. Well done, tumblr user jjbang8

What really gets me about Gemma and Mark's life before Lumon is how full of KNOWLEDGE it was! They meet at university whilst donating blood in a library! They're humanities professors! They joke about their students' work! Gemma has books stacked everywhere in her office! When we get to see their house, it's wall-to-wall bookshelves, and where there isn't a bookshelf, there's an open window, or a plant! Can you imagine how much the innies would fuck with that??? Their work is something they love and it bleeds out from their campus and office scenes and visually dominates the flashback scenes! Post-severance, we see Mark watching tv in suburbia whilst drinking in his free time, completely divorced from this love of learning and knowing, are all his books packed away in the basement like Gemma? AND INNIE MARK! We see how strictly Lumon controls the spread of information, how outside materials are discouraged, how they just love making shit up ("tallest waterfall" etc) but when he gets Rickon's stupid shitty book Mark is still enthralled by it! Outie Mark does everything he can to erase his life with Gemma but we still see that love of learning and knowledge COME BACK!!!
