probably time I post an actual about-me post so here it goes:
Basic Info:
Kira, a late-20s disaster lesbian (she/her), Canadian
ADHD & mood disorders aplenty
I’m a writer, I have a college diploma in Professional Writing, and I will occasionally ramble about my writing (but rarely post any actual writing) - writing blog is @scytheswrites
My interests/hyperfixations change fairly regularly and I have no interest in creating individual blogs for each of my fandoms, so this blog is very much multi-fandom (but I always tag my fandom posts respectively for filtering purposes)
Current Interests/Fandoms/Hyperfixations:
House M.D. (multiship hell but nuts about camchase, ambteen, dipping into cuddley. I love all of the house ladies but primarily Thirteen and Cameron, accepting my fate as a Cameron Guy)
Currently reading: ASOIAF
Longtime Interests/Fandoms:
Games: Dragon Age, Soulsbornes & Elden RIng, Fire Emblem, BG3, Zero Escape trilogy
Marvel (MCU and comics, haven’t seen all of the recent MCU content though)
Music: my taste is all over the place but my lifelong favorite artist is Paramore (late 2000s-early 2010s emo kid here), but i listen to all sorts of pop, alt, metal, k-pop, etc etc
Books: Faves are The Locked Tomb series, The Burning Kingdoms Trilogy, The Priory of the Orange Tree, & the Iron Widow series.
Ancient Interests/Fandoms (My Lore):
Twilight (I will still occasionally shitpost about Twilight)
Superwholock (but primarily Doctor Who, which will forever be in my heart and on my mind)
Carmilla (web series)
Orphan Black
I’ll update this info post as needed, DMs and Asks are always open!
this is driving me insane because I’m going back in my screenshots folders and the misc jars are always there. They’re the same every time. But I can’t find a close enough shot of them to determine what the hell they are. The bottle of yellowish green liquid in particular is driving me nuts
Edit: in some earlier s1 episodes there are like. Spice bottles in front.
It looks like this selection of jars from ep 22 doesn’t change between eps 19-22. the selection varies before that from a few sparse jars to an incredibly cluttered selection at one point. but that yellow liquid is still driving me insane.

i bring a "your criticism of a female character can be genuine and thought-out and still be ultimately rooted in misogyny" sort of vibe to the dash that people don't really like
Lisa Cuddy (House M.D.) vs. Alice Quinn (The Magicians)
Lisa Cuddy
Alice Quinn
Remaining time: 6 days 14 hours
Propaganda below the cut:
Alice Quinn:
She 'got in the way of' the popular gay ship, so obviously that meant she was evil. If you're not just focused on gay shipping she is a genuinely interesting character
Lisa Cuddy:
People ignore her relationship (romantic and otherwise) with House to focus on his relationship with Wilson, and generally demonize or ignore her. She's so cool and her charisma is off the charts and I love her <3
what if the tragedy of house md was actually that almost no one cares about house as much as he cares about them. not in a oh, poor baby boy way. not to suggest house is neglected or sad. but in the way that house clings and doesn't let go and yet is a bad friend, a bad boss, cannot and will not be vulnerable and express himself, and so one by one he drives away the people who care, who reach out, who admired him. cameron was in love with him and slowly becomes disgusted; foreman admired him and then grew afraid of what that meant; chase hunts for house's approval, gets assaulted, and by season 4 is actively avoiding him. cuddy leaves the show. everyone moves on and gives up, and it's all due to house's actions and rejections and assaults. because he can't help it. because he can't admit he cares.
and yet house still imagines cameron and amber and kutner as loving him, caring about him. house spends years imagining cameron as obsessed with him; tricking and tying dominika and wilson to his side, agonized and upset about chase in the ICU but unable to say so. house created all this, and house drove everyone away that loved him, but house refuses to let go.
the way that foreman in s3 leaves because he is afraid he is turning into house, and house reenforces this fear, celebrates it.
the way cameron in s6 leaves because she thinks house is changing people, poisoning them, has ruined the man she loves.
the way chase in s8 accuses house of trying to change him, to make him worse; admits that he's wanted to leave for years and then finally does.
the way masters quits because she feels herself starting to change. the way it's a theme. a pattern. the way wilson begs 13 to stay because she's the only one who hasn't. the way even wilson gives up on chiding house, on wanting him to be better, on being better himself: wilson angry and betrayed in s1 and s3, but not even bothering by s8. it's tragic. it's not a mark of devotion, it's surrender.
