The Severance world is surrealist. Understanding this very basic fact is imperative to understanding the show.

    You won't understand the show if you don't understand this basic fact.

    The Severance world is surrealist. It's odd, fantastic, dreamlike, even nightmarish. There are elements that are bizarre, kafkaesque. There are elements of magical realism. Things just are the way they are because that is the nature of this world. It's familiar and similar to our world but it's askew. It is not our world. People talk of plausibilities forgetting that a hill covered in goats in an office building would not have been considered plausible yet there it is. Too many people seem not to realize they are walking through a funhouse mirror maze, a Twilight Zone reality, not your own reality. Understanding this very basic fact is imperative to understanding the show.

    Splat rat

      RIP splat rat
      Me and some friends got high and went out. We found a fat looking rat and we picked him up. We played with him and made him dance. After we were done with him I threw him against a fucking wall and he exploded. I love rats and I would never hurt one. Xanax made me throw a rat. So in his memory im gonna write a song called "splat rat"

R.I.P. splat rat😔🕊

Update: I will share the song once its done

          Benson Boone is the anti-Trump, his existence as an insanely talented unapologetically queer man who grew up Mormon is an act of resistance in itself, but gifting us a song like this during a week like we've had is honestly revolutionary. Thank youuuu powers that be for the absolute deluge of beautiful art lately, we neeeeed it 🫠😭✨️💖

          Conquest speech

            Stand ready for my arrival worm

            From Invincible S3E07 when Conquest introduced himself to Mark.

            Stand ready for my arrival, worm. You were given orders. You were given time. You were given more leeway than most, and yet, I find this planet unprepared for the arrival of our Viltrum Empire. The Empire anticipated your resistance, which is why they sent me. I am Conquest, and I am your last chance to fulfill your duty.

            I am so lonely

            Conquest speech on loneliness

            Its from Invincible S3E08 where the villain Conquest confessed about his loneliness before trying to killing Mark.

            I am so lonely. All the other Viltrumites are scared of me. No one talks to me. No one wants to be my friend. They think I am unstable. They send me from planet to planet, committing atrocities in their name. And as i get better at it they fear me more and more. I am a victim of my own success. Conquest. I don't even get a real name. Only a purpose. I am capable of so much more and no one sees it. Some days I feel so alone I could cry, but I don't. I never do. Because what would be the point. Not a single person in the entire universe would care. Take it to your grave. 
            I am so lonely. All the other Viltrumites are scared of me. No one talks to me. No one wants to be my friend, they think I am unstable. They send me from planet to planet committing atrocities in their name. And as I get better at it, they fear me more and more… I am a victim of my own success. Conquest… I don’t even get a real name, only a purpose. I am capable of so much more and no one sees it. Some days I feel so alone I could cry but I don’t, I never do, because what would be the point? Not a single person in the entire universe would care. … Take it to your grave.

            The truth is… I want you to resist

            The truth is... I want you to resist. I'm not here to save you. I'm not here to spread the greatness of the Viltrum Empire. I'm here because I enjoy this. See, to me, there is no greater pleasure than feeling the warmth of my fist... drenched in blood.
