Finally done

[perfectimprecision]

sometimes i think about trinity having a spare room in her apartment as a way to honor a promise that can never be fulfilled. maybe as little kids, trinity and her best friend swore they’d live together—from college to forever, even after they found their future partners and got married. maybe the second bedroom is trinity getting as close to realizing that as reality allows.

[perfectimprecision]

and i think about trinity who continues to live with a girl long gone. she carves out space that will never be claimed, dedicates things to and does them for her, both consciously and without thought. the spare room, an empty chair at the dining table, knickknacks and decor in her favorite color, etc.

sui generis (1/1)

“You look like you got everything you wanted,” Trinity had said to her once, panting. Her skin glowing orange in the warm light of Yolanda’s bedroom.

Yolanda had only smirked, taken Trinity’s hand in hers and licked her fingers clean.

She should have said it then. Should have told her the truth. No, Trinity. No, Yolanda tells her now. She thinks of being halved then doubled, of being two things at once and still wanting more than you should. She thinks of swallowing spoiled meat and pretending it doesn’t sour everything inside of you.

— Or: The Fourth of July passes and Yolanda is left with some regrets.

in my mind, garcia and santos’ relationship is never officially, explicitly casual because they both assume that casual is the only possible way it can be. for their own reasons, they aren’t the kinds to get attached. ever. the conversation is thus considered unnecessary and never had, the label of casual never actually bestowed upon their relationship.

that is, until some nine or ten months later when they’re essentially girlfriends and garcia is prying, she just can’t let something go. maybe it’s about santos’ self-harm, maybe it’s about langdon, or maybe it’s about something else entirely, but whatever it is, santos feels cornered. attacked. she weaponizes “casual” to defend herself.

“casual” doesn’t necessarily surprise garcia. it’s not like she went into this expecting anything else. it’s not a matter of truly believing that they were in an actual relationship this entire time or of being casual and that being violated, but a complicated combination of things. it is being casual (in theory and thought) while also not being casual (in words and ways) and still being struck by “casual.” the word doesn’t surprise her, yet she is taken aback by it. she is hurt.

what makes matters worse—for both of them—is that garcia then weaponizes “casual” back. she launches her own defense, but to santos, her weaponization is seen as another offensive attack. instead of protecting santos from attack, “casual” comes to attack her.

thus, within a matter of hours, garcia goes from someone safe to someone santos sees as taking advantage of her. santos wants garcia to come over for fireworks, then she identifies herself as garcia’s “stress relief squeeze toy.” this isn’t because she actually is—or it shouldn’t be, given the sudden significant shift—but because santos’ trauma shapes (and warps) her understanding of reality.

santos has been sexually abused—the show makes that pretty clear. it seems unlikely that garcia is properly aware of this, given santos’ demonstrated hesitancy to open up, to be vulnerable—something also informed by her trauma. garcia may have gathered bits and pieces here and there but probably not a full picture.

with santos’ trauma, it doesn’t matter that she was the one who said “casual” first. “casual” from garcia, from someone santos thought was more than casual, thought was real, makes it seem to her that she is only wanted for her body. for sex. that garcia is taking advantage of santos, using her devotion to her for her personal pleasure, as her devotion to gymnastics was also once used.

even though garcia isn’t using santos. even though there is obviously so much care there, on both ends.

and i think that is so much more interesting than the “toxic yuri” “garcia is evil” narrative.

WE ARE SO BACK

Ned lives. Catelyn gets her worst nightmare.

a drag path

[pedulum-chronometry]

So like the longer I watch and rewatch, the more certain I am that Trinity is going to relapse in her self harm habit (if she hasn’t already). She’s been going through it the whole season and desperately needs that control back.

Langdon is back and hasn’t done his whole apology song and dance with her yet (if he’s even going to?). Everyone is treating her like she doesn’t know her place but in like the most condescending way. Like it wasn’t ‘here’s more information to consider’ or ‘we’re going with this clinical judgement’ it was just - you’re an R2, you’re lower in the hierarchy so stop pushing stop trying just knuckle under. Like? I thought this was a teaching hospital not a shut up and do as you’re told hospital.

i hope that “the pitt” never puts santos in pediatrics. i hope that “the pitt” eases up on her pediatric cases in season 3. i hope that “the pitt” allows female characters to exist outside of maternity and seemingly maternal qualities. i hope that “the pitt” allows women to be cold and compassionate and complex and that none of it needs to be in relation to children.

a snapshot where yolanda does something stupid and trinity does something stupider bc these two are like two disastrous peas in a pod

chapter 8 is coming soon (finally!) so if you want to refresh your memory, catch up on ch.1-7 on ao3

[perfectimprecision]

i’ve decided that the little heart tattoo on trinity’s shoulder is in honor of her best friend. perhaps she had a birthmark in that same spot.

when yolanda “casual” garcia idly traces that heart and presses gentle kisses to it, trinity doesn’t know what to do.
