Items and posters in Cobel’s apartment
I wanted to take a closer look at all the things Cobel destroys in her apartment after being fired and I think theres quite a few things worth mentioning.
One of the first shots we see is a jar holding multiple red lollipops (there was also one on the shrine next to the breathing tube), two “faces” of Kier that are attached to popsicle sticks as if used like a mask (one green and “happy” and one yellow looking more “sad”), what looks to be like a gift wrapped in paper, a paper fortune teller (I cant make the writing on each fold out), and a “dispenser” that seems to look like its holding a bunch of blue beads. To me, it looks like this would be childhood items? The lollipops look like those you would receive as a kid in the doctors office. I thought it was interesting that one was by the breathing tube-as if she could have possibly collected these while visiting whichever family member she had that was using that tube.
Immediately next to this starts walls of what look to be handmade posters you would also make as a kid or in school.
The first one has a larger word that starts with “V” at the top but I cant figure out/see the rest of the word. It then has the words “More Perfect for the Struggle” and below this is another folded paper design.
The next poster says “WIT” on top, with a phrase underneath, but I can only make out the word “weakness”. Below the mystery phrase is a drawing of a face with the top of it’s head open with what looks to be like three pencils sitting in the brain portion.
Next says “NIMBLENESS”.
Farther on the wall has the title “CHEER”.
The next one says “HUMILITY” and has a drawing of a goat underneath the words.- If you have 6 hours and want to read my most recent posts on the possible goat connections, I’d recommend looking at them. Right above the goat says “Tame Thy Tempers”
Sticking outside the left of the shrine itself is one that says “BENEVOLENCE”.
I cant make out the one sticking out from the right of the shrine.
I also noticed how the classic Lumon “teardrop” logo is lit at the top of the shrine.
The last poster I can make out says “PROBITY” and I think this might be the most interesting besides the humility one. Theres three envelopes that look somewhat like the bins used by MDR-but there are only three while MDR clearly has four. There looks to be papers sticking out from each envelope as if each is supposed to hold something specific. Below these are the words “WE MUST BE CUT TO HEAL”. Below this is a cartoon person that looks to be crying, with four squares ripped in half or “cut”.
I hadn’t seen anything about this all yet and just wanted to point it out incase someone else has any other thoughts about it. Some have obvious parallels to the show but I was wondering if anyone had any deeper thoughts about each, such as when/when/why Cobel would have made/attained/kept all these items.
