A guide to aphrsditea

welcome to my account (imagine i have some lovely messages and quippy, funny jokes inserted here)

basically, I'm trying to write a guide to my fanfics because why not, right?

basic rules:

my asks are always open, you can ask pretty much anything - from the weather condition to questions about my fics =)

i write james/regulus, draco/hermione, deadpool/spiderman, mooncovey, all variants of spiderman fics really, loki/dr. strange and ada/leon (from RE) and langdon/mel (from The Pitt) fics mostly. i have been focusing on aeon/meldon for the past couple of months but i'm sure when marvel gets its shit together again, i'll venture back

pls, minors, don't interact <3 i'm way too old for that =) [i am 22]

posted a new work. in case you wanna check it out

mel fully has a crush on langdon but i doubt she realises it. i think she just thinks that's the way you are supposed to feel about your friends - wanting to burst at the seams every time you see them, your heart doing crazy flips in his chest, finding him funny when he is NOT.

mel: that's just how friends roll, right? RIGHT?

samira: mel, imma hold your hand when i say this.....

LET MEL SAY F-

langdonfranks

i find the coddling and sanctification of trinity santos by her fans to be so utterly fascinating and so damn annoying at the same time.

santos has the potential to be such an interesting character. she has all the makings of being a great doctor but also has a lot to learn and lets her own personal biases/opinions influence her cases quite frequently, sometimes for the better (i.e., the depressed patient in 1x15) and sometimes in a detrimental way (i.e., her writing off harlow at first because she felt she had other, more pressing things to do).

she parallels robby in a lot of ways - an "er cowboy," so to speak, who often bends/breaks rules to do what she thinks is best for the patient. again, not always a bad thing, but also not wholly a good thing. there's nuance there, which is realistic and intriguing and sets up a (potentially) great character arc.

but, for some reason, many fans of santos has taken every bit of that nuance and totally chucked it out the window. instead of letting her be complex and compelling, they've turned her into a saintly #girlboss who has never done a Single Thing Wrong in her life, which is simply...not the case, and not the narrative the show has put forth. in season one, she is overconfident and reckless and a little abrasive (which is pointed out by samira, ellis, and, of course, frank). she is shown not to follow rules. in season two, she is shown not to place value in things that are very vital to make a hospital ecosystem function properly (i.e., charting) and is short or dismissive with patients whose cases are not straightforward (i.e., again, harlow and the patient with bulimia).

all these things don't make her bad, of course. instead, they are potential setbacks that can be explored over multiple seasons in a way that helps trinity to grow in a way that is both satisfying and real.

but, again, many (not all, but many) santos fans seem to think that she's completely perfect as is, and get extremely defensive if you try to point out any of her flaws. which, ok. i get being protective of a character, especially one you identify with. but do you realize that draining all of the gray area out of her character is...not good? it's not authentic or realistic. it makes her a caricature. it makes her, frankly, a dead-end character.

and this tendency to see everything in black-and-white, good-vs-evil terms leads this same bastardization to happen to any character who interacts with her, especially those who may not automatically get along with her.

enter the frank langdon of it all.

now let me preface this by stating the obvious - i am an unapologetic frank langdon stan (as you could probably tell from my url and by scrolling through my blog for even ten seconds). one of my favorite things about frank is that he is nuanced. his character is full of intricacies and complexities that not only make for great storytelling, but also represent the real struggles of those with addictions. the momentous task of getting sober, staying clean and apologizing to the people you hurt and for the mistakes you made along the way.

because frank did fuck up. he diverted and stole drugs, he lied, and he was in complete denial of his issues for a good while. and yes, he treated santos poorly (even if i would argue that the issues he had with santos were actually very valid in a lot of ways, but that's a topic for another post entirely). he shouldn't have chewed her out in front of her peers, especially to the extent that he did. and in season two, he shouldn't have forced robby into an conversation he clearly wasn't ready for.

but, whether a particular subset of the pitt's audience likes it or not, it is a narrative fact that frank is putting in the work to get better. he's sober, he's trying to make amends, he's more careful and gentle with his patients. he got help and came away a better doctor because of it.

but. but! the purification of trinity santos had turned into the vilification of frank langdon. which is so damn sad. because, again, not only is it just not true canonically, but it also takes an nuanced portrayal of an addict on a mainstream television show and obliterates it. just like santos is important representation for those who have experienced abuse and trauma, frank's representation of addiction in a way that is not seen as a inherit moral failing is so, so important too!

some of the takes i've seen this season regarding langdon and addiction are horrid and, honestly, at times a little offensive. "langdon faced no consequences!" (which is fundamentally not true narrative wise: he lost his job and income for ten months, he's in a php program - which are notoriously fucking awful - for four more years. his relationship with robby is ruined, etc. etc. etc.) "santos saved his life and career!" (which i detailed in another post why that is dismissive towards addicts who have put in the hard fucking work every day to be sober.) "langdon committed a felony and should be serving prison time!" (which like, ok. are you actually saying with your whole chest that you think addicts should suffer in america's prison industrial complex because they have a disease? is that actually what you want to say?)

and unfortunately - so, so unfortunately - so many of these takes are fueled by the belief that santos is incapable of making mistakes, that frank is evil for calling her out and he does not deserve forgiveness for anything because how dare he yell at "angel princess dr. trinity santos." (literally. i saw those words verbatim on this website yesterday.)

are most of these posts jokes? i honestly don't know. i hope so, but i honestly don't know. and even if they are - it is vital to be cognizant of the fact that while frank langdon is a fictional character, the person he represents is very, very real to so many people (including patrick ball, the actor who plays langdon who is four years sober himself). again, are you actually joking? i hope you are. i really hope you are.

anyways, this post has gone on for far too long. the crux of the matter is, the extreme purification of trinity santos is a detriment to the complexity of her character, and in turn, frank's character. it's tiring at best, it's actively harmful at worst. and it does a disservice to the story i think the pitt is trying to tell.

Why is The Pitt trying to piss me off and make it seem like poor Samira Mohan- who's having the worst day ever- would consider geriatrics or sports medicine when last season's whole arc was showing her being great at health equity AND having the time of her professional life during a chaotic mass casualty? These writers need to stop playing around and put that woman in an EMS fellowship where she can do community health research AND blindly drill holes into people's heads.

aphrsditea

YES! my point EXACTLY!! ALLOW SAMIRA MOHAN TO GO INTO HEALTH HUMANITIES FELLOWSHIP!!

#like let my girl go to john hopkins health humanities program!#which is headed by a brown female doctor by the way!!#samira mohan #the pitt

i'm actually a bit butthurt that they didn't suggest a humanities fellowship for samira. she'd thrive in that area - she'd have the means to research and make actual change in context of the ER.

https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/emergency-medicine/fellowship-programs/health-humanities

this one would actually be great for her
