[pastodon @pastodon54]

@SvrdSpace @xoxodeadthing Yeah, Cobel's line being treated as gospel annoys me too. Her very next line is already wrong "She's an Eagan. You're nothing to them, nothing to her."

Is Dan cooking and it's meant to be subverted later? Nah… and Helena admitting she hates who she is is def unrelated too… 🙃

[pastodon @pastodon54]

@xoxodeadthing @SvrdSpace The subreddit has been hopeless ever since 2x7

Basically became the "I don't care about Helly R anymore" meme personified as a community

There's a fresh "I think the show will end with M/G happily raising a M/H baby after the latter dies/goes to prison" post every few weeks🙃

[pastodon @pastodon54]

@hellyspencap It's for sure either an alternate take or reshot. The main differences are:
* they tilt their heads in the opposite directions (right in real scene, left in CCTV)
* they hold hands in the CCTV footage, while in the real scene she grabbed him by his jacket

[pastodon @pastodon54]

@inexpressiblyb1 Devon & Cobel: Did you sleep with "Helly" before or after you found out she's an Eagan?

Mark S: yes

[pastodon @pastodon54]

@balrogborzoi @koshkawrangler_ Unfortunately sometimes it still doesn't, even in that thread 😕

[pastodon @pastodon54]

@MIDGEKlNS Mark/Petey had more AO3 fics than M/H in January before S2 came out, both far behind Burving.

So yep, when Dan wrote the M/H-heavy S2 plot, he was definitely pandering to ship culture 😆

Let's ignore how S1's plot already set them up, obv written before any fans saw the show...

@brigitteplusbas Emmy award winning Zufu scene 🏆

@njramen @AyanaMonique I found e7 and e8 alright as episodes (albeit one more than the other), the main problem I have with them is that they were following up Attila, which had so much happen with the MDR characters... only to then have them all put on pause for 3 weeks. Just killed any momentum

[pastodon @pastodon54]

@young_and_daft @lumondropshot That's sadly nothing new and has been known ever since they asked the cast "is it Helly or Helena at the end" like 40 different times 😄

[pastodon @pastodon54]

@sarasfanarts @kestrelofherran He says "Cobel told me you like someone down there - Helena Eagan, right?" so apparently he was told. He did see himself on top of her when Reghabi flooded his chip though, minutes before he had the seizure

[pastodon @pastodon54]

@addozer @evilelysionarts No no, you see, whether love will transcend severance is indeed the main question of the show, the showrunners just aren't using the relationship with most of the screen time to explore it, that's all filler 😄

[pastodon @pastodon54]

@serra72902949 😄

[pastodon @pastodon54]

@discojam420 They won't drop it though, they'll continue to watch just to complain week in week out

[pastodon @pastodon54]

@inexpressiblyb1 @serra72902949 It's ok, at least they have a 2x04 specific rule which makes arguing about the tent scene bannable

God forbid you try to talk about how things aren't black and white when it comes to being severed and the whole concept has inherent consent issues. The above is hunky dory though!

[pastodon @pastodon54]

@inexpressiblyb1 @serra72902949 Not even a surrogate, in these 'theories' I'm referencing it is straight up MH's child from Woe's Hollow/Attila that she never gets to raise and leaves to MG instead

[pastodon @pastodon54]

@inexpressiblyb1 @serra72902949 The worst theories have got to be "Hellyna will have a baby then sacrifice herself to take down Lumon, giving her blessing to MG to raise the kid and be together"

Yeah good job reducing this complex character who yearns for freedom and love to a womb to fix an offscreen marriage

[pastodon @pastodon54]

@inexpressiblyb1 @serra72902949 Yeah, I think I saw that thread. It quickly devolved into some… eyebrow raising takes… went from lightly joking about them being embarrassed about flirting to actively hoping OMark tries to kill both Helena and Helly and 'needing' everyone from MDR to try and kill Helena 😬

[pastodon @pastodon54]

@corneliastrwts @njramen Hey now, we know she absolutely loves plants, but at the same time, also despises ants... probably 'equally'.

Ms. self-hating-affection-starved-cult-CEO's got nothing on that.

And if you don't agree that's just because you're clearly a racist 😀

[pastodon @pastodon54]

@helenaeaganswfe We already got the entire 2x10 script a while back, but it's possible they could use a different version, yeah.

@shortnsevered @hellynaswife Helena = bad 😡
Helly = good 😇

And people wonder why stuff like Netflix spoonfeds their viewers so much nowadays
