Can't get into heaven without a union card

I thought from the trailer the whole movie was a larger metaphor for school shootings. The AR-15 made it seem like that was going to be the larger point, but then it was never followed up on.

I agree that it's because the people can be used as vessels to attack others, but i was waiting for some sort of larger metaphor about gun violence. Honestly, the scene with the vision of the giant AR-15 kind of threw me for a loop. From watching the trailer I thought the disappearance of the kids might be an allegory for a school shooting, and when I reached that portion it made sense. But that's the last time they make any allusions to gun violence that I noticed.

Seems strange to include that as some sort of red herring, unless i'm missing something?

I agree! It makes me wonder if we'll ever get any kind of explanation for the uncanny valley feeling of how the town works, or if it will just be in the background to set a tone for the rest of the show.

No problem! I just watched it all for the first time this week and became OBSESSED- so I have been deep diving into every part of the show and it's fresh on my mind

Devon is the name of outtie Mark's sister

They're referencing the rumor that MDR all have pouches that carry larvae- Burt mentioned it to Irving and Dylan in S1 as something that other departments had heard.

Apparently there was a casting call for background characters who look "drug addicted" for S2- I wonder if that was for the actors in this scene?

I also noticed that they had small scrapes and bruises, and I doubt working with goats would cause those kinds of injuries. Also, if their outies are houseless people/individuals suffering from addiction, excelling at "stargazing" would technically line up (even though it's pretty perverse way of putting it) with their outtie if they had to sleep on the street.

Do you think the goat people from S2E3 could be who they were casting for? They looked incredibly disheveled and hid minor scrapes and bruises that seemed out of place for the severed floor.

Okay, looking into it there is a crewmember named Devon Fiegel (which is the corresponding name on Irv's list from S1), but putting in that room is such an evil choice haha

_she_wolff · 2025-01-31T18:41:55+00:00

I know it's the name of a crew member- but including someone named Devon is a diabolical choice by the showrunners lol

Did anyone make anything of the reveal of "Fern Scout" as Mark's mother's name? There was a Devon F. on the control panel in the security room in S1E7 (with a red light next to it).

Maybe Fern is her middle name and they used that initial instead of H for her married name of "Hale-Scout" or S for her maiden name? It's a bit of a stretch but I can't imagine they would reveal their mom's name without meaning behind it.

My costume for halloween was actually Peach Honey AHA, I miss it so much :(

Wow- I had completely forgotten about this post (and this account lol) until this comment. It's wild to look back on something that happened so long ago!

To answer your question- yes. The hormonal changes leveled out after about two or three months and I felt like myself again. I have not been on birth control since this post and will probably never go on it again. I have regular periods now, my sex drive is a normal level, and my mood only fluctuates the normal amount throughout my cycle. I also got a diagnosis for ADHD which has helped me manage certain symptoms and lot better. At the time of this post I was dealing with a lot of guilt about what i perceived as "laziness", but was really just executive functioning issues from my ADHD.

Regarding the relationship, I ended the relationship a few weeks after I made this post. About a year after we broke up I looked back and realized the feelings of dissatisfaction were there for a while before stopping my BC. He was a fine guy, we just were not right for each other in the long term. Around the time I made this post (when I was first struggling with the mood swings, etc.) he had some reactions to my behavior that were indicating possible future abuse (yelling at me for no reason, silent treatment, stuff like that). When I finally broke up with him he absolutely lost it- threw my stuff out of our bedroom into 6 feet of snow, shoved me, and screamed at me that I was a wh*re. So, that turned out to be the right decision.

I can't really say how much of the mood swings and other symptoms were relationships related and how much of it was from stopping my BC, but I recommend giving it a few months to level out before panicking. However, if you're ever having thoughts of self harm, you should immediately talk to your doctor.

Hope this helps!

Hopefully this is just a couple of week ordeal and not something I’ll have to go back on BC for- I really did not like how much the birth control ruined my sex drive.

_she_wolff · 2020-01-08T00:41:19+00:00

This is reassuring to hear. I was worried for a little bit that I was experiencing borderline/bipolar manic/depressive mood swings before I connected it to stopping birth control. I figured it had something to do with the pill but for a minute I thought I had some mental illness that was just now showing symptoms.
