@MLE_online my head canon is that Tyler Durden and Helena Bonham Carter are both alternate personalities of Edward Narrator in Fight Club, and that she's several months to five years away from having a Very Important Realization

@MLE_online Helena Bonham Carter shows up *first*, people don't notice her in support groups even when her attendance would stand out, and she even shows up in his mind when he is trying to meditate. He is distressed by this due to unexamined internalized misogyny and transphobia, so he creates his Tyler Durden persona to double down on toxic masculinity in hopes that it will make him a real man. Hilarity ensues.

@MLE_online and, near the end of the movie, he attempts to put her on a bus out of town for her safety, but she shows up again perfectly on time at the climatic scene.

@MLE_online oh. I misremembered. Well, easily explained, Narrator was in drag that day and realized the schedule mistake too late due to sleep deprivation and disassociation.

@MLE_online that is the beautiful thing about fight club, the narrator is so off their rocker any theory or inconsistency can be explained away with derealization
