[@nulspace3782]

Norwell not dragging coat for stating the obvious and instead affirming their relationship is just… *chefs Kiss*

[@jonathanslater1397]

I like that interpretation, but I thought that coat was just making a joke to try and keep up Norbert's spirits, which was also nice.

[@mokarokas-1727]

There IS a little cheek to it, because it obviously wouldn't change anything.

[@DanDowell]

It's not totally obvious. Bi and pan people, like me, still exist.

[@Knux5577]

Maybe not, but an attraction to males is obvious ​@@DanDowell

I can tell these two have been together for a long time, after so many years your conversations just end up being pure observational comedy

I wouldn't call it a spin-off. More like a continuation since the original story ended.

[@roguejester4986]

It is possible to be in a same-sex marriage without knowing whether or not someone is gay or not or both.

[@HunterAllan]

I think it's because some people were debating whether they were really gay or not since one of them is a coat and technically doesn't have a gender. Jason is really good at giving the dumb viewers in the audience the middle finger while making the whole thing funny.

[@KTL-351]

I think with this episode, this series has officially cemented itself as my favorite FilmCow series thus far. There's just something so quality about the writing; it's quiet, contemplative, and even horrifying...but also really funny in its dry humor, while imbuing Norwell the weasel and an ensouled coat with genuine pathos/affection for one another. I like how they're both clearly dealing with a fucked up situation, and don't exactly want to admit that, but they're also both healthy enough in their relationship to recognize that not talking about it would be dishonest and harmful to them both long term. I cannot believe I'm deeply analyzing a series about the gay romance between a weasel and a coat, but here we are, man.

[@dtotheawesome8182]

Not just any coat, an ensouled coat!

Best Twist Ending. Did not see that coming.

[@max_the_mantis5173]

It was extremely obvious they're already a gay married couple before this episode, he just spelled it out for the viewers who can't recognise queer relationships. To prevent straights from erasing their relationship with 'they're just good friends' and similar.

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

This series balances the uncertainty of existential dread with the certainty of true love atop a fulcrum of absurdity: The wholesome relationship and unsettling environment are presented as equally ever-present and unquestionable counterweights. Absurdism is then used to gently tip this scale back and forth, oscillating between comfort and discomfort; ciabatta and purgatory. I've never seen anything like it, and the soothing response it provokes is likewise unique. What fantastic art!

[@deltahalo241]

Props to Norwell, he saw his husband was off-put by the experience of going up and took him out to look at the hills again to cheer him up

[@docdoc.4500]

The way "If we were being punished, I don't think we would have been put here together" is said so casually for something that... warm. It's beautiful.

[@spoookley]

i am in love with this coat husband & this weasel husband. absolute relationship goals. headcannon for the series: they are in a form of purgatory together & living out the life they yearned for, but could not attain due to their moral obligations. i also must applaud you for basing an entire series *on the bury your gays trope* whilst simultaneously giving us genuine gay romcom slice of life starring literally near perfect husbands

"I think if we were being punished, we wouldn't have been put here together." - character who hasn't read Sartre

I think the implication is that they love each other. While it’s true that hell is other people. You would still expect to see your loved ones in the afterlife

[@acemagalor2519]

I think the implication is more that they actually do enjoy being together, in those types of “hell is other people” stories the characters usually can’t stand to be around each other but also can’t leave

[@soch144]

😂 did not expect the "im gay, honey were married" joke to show. Something about these two always felt comforting. And i think its the way theyre so casually open with each other.

[@cipher8987]

I think Coat has been really a rock for Norwell and in this episode the surreal nature of their situation has begun to seriously grate on him, which is absolutely reasonable given the circumstances and odd experience he had this episode, and so Norwell successfully is there for him just as Coat was for him in previous episodes. Really cements the strength of their relationship.

[@AlexanderRadu-e1t]

It's definitely nice to see that Coat has some vulnerability after being a very unshakeable character in all his appearances. It makes him more relatable and makes me appreciate his practicality all the more.

[@shia_labeouf]

Like a lot of people, I suspect, I came here from Llamas with hats all those years ago but this channel has genuinely changed the way I appreciate its content. It's probably the only thing I watch where I really stop thinking about story in any traditional sense and just allow myself to feel. Once I do that, I find that the atmosphere, the music, and the visual style affect me so viscerally. I don't worry about how events relate to each other or question character motivations, I just let the ebb and flow of the video do whatever it's doing. It's easy to dismiss these videos as "weird" but they are actually truly exploratory art in a medium that rarely does it.

I love this series so much! It makes the gears turn in my brain so fast.
