How do I do it? How do I escape the capitalist life—how do I reclaim this language? The language of a slow sunrise. The language of salt and blood. The language of 10,000 stones. The language of sleeping stars. The language that gives me my name.

whats it like to lock your fingers with someone you love
it fucks me up that pupils are black for the same reason black holes are. they have no color because they absorb all color that enters them. each of us carry on our faces endless voids which evade the traditional visible light spectrum, and without them we couldn't absorb said spectrum. They give us knowledge by destroying it. what the fuck is a black hole doing with that color then
The universal language of the galaxy is music, with every genre communicating different sentiments and emotions. When humanity first makes contact with the wider galactic community they are disturbed by us. As it turns out no other species has ever come up with anything even close to metal.

Severance is about rebellion, about people who were literally created to obey finally questioning and breaking through that conditioning. There’s a storyline about someone doing a complete 180 and choosing to rebel when they realise they have a child that they’re not allowed to see, and I love that the storyline wasn’t given to the female lead, but to a previously comic male character. There’s a storyline about breaking protocol because for the first time ever you have fallen in love, in intense, overwhelming, impossible love, and I love that the storyline wasn’t given to the female lead, but to a pair of awkward old guys. The storyline about grief and guilt also goes to a guy, to the male lead.
I love that the female lead is the only one whose radicalisation comes entirely from within, the person motivating her is her, she’s not doing it for anyone else, she wants her freedom, and failing that, she wants bloody revenge even at the cost of utter self-destruction.
