Severance Apple Tv Plus - Tumblr Posts

Been binging Severance on breaks at my vacation Airbnb and A) it’s so fucking good, and B) OH MY GOD IRVING I LOVE YOU!

There is something so intriguing to me about his character that he is such a powerfully intellectual and curious character and yet all his current and possible knowledge is limited strictly to one company. At first it struck me as relatable in the sense of a hyperfixation (which it very well probably still is) and then I realized that there is literally no other option. The only think this version of him knows is work and so with that constant need for knowledge and stimulation, he wants to take in every single aspect of Lumon that he possibly can, cause that’s all he’ll ever get.

Also we stan gay, old, business Romeo and Juliet

I'm not sure they're ever in the same scene, so it takes a while to dawn, but the contrasts between Irving B. and Ms Cobel—

he's an artistic soul trapped in a world where the only art and literature is corporate propaganda, and even though he's a bit overly pushy about it, it still comes from a place of wanting to share the inspiration and awe he feels ("I think we should take Helly to the Perpetuity Wing today"), and even though he's kind of a stickler, he's not beyond a bit of creative interpretation of the scripture if it helps him and the people he cares about to wring a bit more happiness out of their existence—

and then she, she isn't severed, she isn't cut off from the rest of the art and expression the world has to offer (whatever that looks like in a world with Lumon in it), but she chooses the story of Lumon and the Eagans to the obsessive exclusion of all other possible truths ... and see what she does with it, makes snares of it to catch people out with, and hammers to beat them with, and yardsticks for them to fall short of.

Irving B. is only given one story to work with and causes it to change as he grows beyond it. Ms Cobel limits herself to a single story, rejecting all others, and it makes her rigid enough to shatter

!!SPOILERS FOR THE SEASON ONE FINALE OF SEVERANCE IN THIS VIDEO!! No spoilers below:

VIDEO: Severance Outie Cut, Season 1 Episode 9

Okay ya’ll, I believe I have done everything I need to do to make the Innie and Outie Supercuts that I made of Severance available. I looked into a lot of different free storage options out there and unfortunately none of them had enough space (the cuts together are ~35GB), so I landed on creating a torrent file to share it, which just means I’m sending it directly from my computer to your computer without the middleman of cloud storage

This is the first time I’ve ever created a torrent to share, so I had to follow a tutorial. I believe everything worked correctly. Please let me know if there’s any problems (or if you know more about torrents than I do and see any immediate glaring issues.)

Here’s what you’ll need to do:

1. Download a bittorrent client (I recommend qbittorrent.) 2. Grab the .torrent file from the google drive I created: here 3. Side note, I created the file in qbittorrent but I believe you can use it in any client. Someone correct me if that’s wrong. 4. In your bittorrent client, look for an option that says something like “add torrent file” and use that to select the file 5. Choose where to download the file and click “okay” 6. You’re done! Wait for it to download and you’re good to go!

You don’t need to go to any sketchy torrent sites, you can check the file contents in the bittorrent client when you add it to make sure it is what I say it is (it will contain two video files, and two image files for those of you who use something like plex and want title cards), and yeah I think that’s it

Please let me know what you think of it if/when you watch it! I put a lot of hours into it and I really enjoyed watching it, so I hope you guys do as well.

OH ALSO. If you know anyone who is willing to sacrifice their first Severance watch through and watch these cuts first as an experiment, I am extremely curious to hear about how the experience differs when you watch it as intended vs. watching it from each perspective individually.

I have it ordered as Outie Cut first, then Innie Cut second. You’re welcome to watch in whatever order you like, though, obviously.

My thought process here is that the Outie perspective is more interesting as a mystery where you don’t know what is happening at Lumon. You’re discovering things along with oMark, you don’t have any more information than he does.

And I think the Innie perspective could be interesting either way, but I think most of the interest just comes from discovering the world of Lumon here. It definitely could be interesting to see the Innie perspective with no knowledge of the outside world, though. Let me know what you think about the watch order!
