i keep forgetting i should let you go but when you look at me the only memory is us kissing in the moonlight
CAN’T REMEMBER TO FORGET YOU (2014) dir. Joseph Kahn
Teen me was obsessed with the 3rd gif and she worked very hard to not know why...😅
Still was obsessed with it though 😌
I remember being young and in the closet and deeply fearful of even thinking about anything not straight but still needing to watch the video of this song to enjoy it bc the audio just wasn't as good...and honestly so valid for internalized homophobia to lose to those two...there was only so much denial you could fit in teen me 🤣😅
i am massively overdue for a very very good week where not a single bad thing happens and everything is easy
reblog to give prev a very good week where not a single bad thing happens and everything is easy
“i never see you at the club” ok well i never see you on ao3 at 2am reading about the same two bitches falling in love for the 1000th time in the 500th way
cassie mckay you are perfect you are kind you are the best to ever do it. cheered when she called out ogilvie again. literally the best mentor of the pitt— kind and calm, but still firm and teaching, doesn't let things slide. I love you I love you Cassie
oh my god you're all right actually. Langdon SHOULD have gone to jail! forget all the work criminal justice experts and addiction advocates have done to enact diversion program and non-carceral treatment for drug crimes. forget that the field of health care sees this as a disease and commonly replaces punitive action with treatment. we feel in our hearts how important it is to punish people! all he got— ten months suspended from work, the near rupturing of his closest relationships as the consequence of his own actions, and a restrictive and paternalistic rehab program— is just the help he needs! It's easy peasy and that's why rehab programs are so effective and addicts never relapse. It's fun and easy and costs $0. help is always good and never complicated.
he should have been punished. he should have gone to jail! his kids should have lost their dad— hopefully for years. surely it will be simple and easy for him to rejoin his family after that— no, better yet, his wife should leave him, right? so when he comes out with a felony charge and can't work in his field and can't, in fact, find work anywhere, he's on his own. but if she doesn't leave him, his entire family should suffer for the loss of their breadwinner. forever. you're right!
after being forced to do slave labor without access to medical care, the back injury that drove him to pain medications will probably be worse, making it even more difficult to treat his addiction...not to mention the PTSD he's likely to have from prison. but that's good, he needed to be punished! and in twenty years when he dies of an opioid overdose under the sad eyes of a a medical student in the Pitt's ER, we'll all be able to say good, we got one of the bad ones. and isn't that worth any number of innocent lives in the process?
I think the situation with Mel and Becca is so much more complex than people understand. I've seen people say Mel is being ableist or infantilizing towards Becca and I personally do not read this behavior as such— people are forgetting a couple of big things:
(1) Mel has significant trauma having to be Becca's caretaker for her adult life. She gave up hobbies and doesn't have an identity outside of Becca. She used to go to Renfaire, now she doesnt. She gave up her adult life to earn enough income to support herself and Becca.
(2) Mel is going through an extremely traumatic deposition where she's basically getting accused of causing intellectual disability for performing a life-saving spinal tap on an antivaxxers kid who was afraid of her kid getting autism. Shes overwhelmed, overheated, overstimulated and ever since she got out of the deposition she has been actively melting down/shutting down. On top of the fact that Becca, her only family and only close friend is being hospitalized
(3) Mel is also autistic, this doesnt mean that she can't be ableist but it also means she struggles to socially understand how others process the world relative to herself. She likely hasn't had any relationships and she tells Becca /everything/, she is hurt, confused and baffled as to how someone she thought she knew kept information from her. What do you mean Becca has a boyfriend?
The conflict here is not that Mel doesn't see Becca as a conscious being, able of making her own decisions— but Mel realizing her life is defined by Becca's and Becca's life is defined by herself.
My point is to say that people are focusing on this plot point as Mel-as-ableist or Mel-infantilizing-Becca when in reality what's actually going on is that Mel is actively struggling with her own disability, which she likely never got support for, which is the same disability she was the primary caretaker to her sister of. I don't think Mel was diagnosed as autistic as a child, because of how she thought her food issues were actually an ED. Had she had access to a diagnosis she could've understood this as her autism, but she was left to find different answers. I think she knows she's autistic, but likely won't seek out a diagnosis or help /because/ she is also her sisters primary caretaker and likely is afraid of the ramifications (legal or otherwise, though I doubt she has guardianship of Becca) of that label.
sorry i just hate any kind of addiction storyline. recovery, yeah, sure! but seeing active addiction, no thank you. i'm not going to enjoy this at all.
i just. i don't even like it in fic.
I've been there twice in fandoms, and I have never liked it. I saw it with Reid from Criminal Minds and I saw it in Sam(and Dean even if it wasn't explored) in Supernatural and hated it both times....watching a character I love or even remotely like be in so much pain be it physical or mental that they turn to substances to cope is literally the worst...
Any and all mentions of addiction in fics make me jump all the way off a fic so fast it's not even funny...i don't like it and this being Buck's arc for the next episodes/rest of the season is heartbreaking....
Especially as it relates to Bobby. Bobby, whose life was destroyed by his addiction, who lost his first family due to it, whose fear was that Buck was pushing himself too much after the ladder truck and would end up in the same place as him and that's one of the reasons he held him back. Why is it that the thing Buck is left with from Bobby is his addiction?
when you spent all morning trying to talk to your coworker (who has the same job title as you) about how to make sure that your workplace has a smooth transition from his control to yours, but he kept blowing you off and didn't want to hear about any of the idea that you had and wanted to run by him, and every time you tried to have a serious conversation with you he would say he was just trying to get through the day so he could leave on his three month sabbatical, and now, after ignoring every single attempt you made to make sure that you could run your workplace smoothly without him, he's telling you he doesn't think that the workplace will survive without him (he just berrated one of his female employees for being stressed) even though you just saved a child with a procedure he had never even heard of, much less knew how to perform
Also can we talk about THE Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi in this episode???? Saved a kid’s life doing a procedure she had never done in person (perfectly executed while also teaching it when even Robby was obviously too intimidated to try it) and refusing to take Garcia’s shit about “butchering” the cut because she knows she did that!!! And then also not scared to professionally, privately, and firmly call Robby out about his behavior with Samira??? Even while he was acting like a bit of a child about it?? Oh I love her BAD
Her only flaw being the ai thing will not make me not feral over her...I love her so much!!
She's so nice and kind and competent and also hot as fuck....I need her in so many unprofessional ways😍🛐
i'm probably gonna say very little about fandom discourse around this ep because spring break starts next week and i'm running out of sanity but actually. i love everyone on the pitt being flawed and fucked up and nasty sometimes. i love robby being a hypocrite and repulsed by samira's anxiety because he's repulsed by his own. i love that, alternatively, samira is repulsed by her mother's loneliness because she's repulsed by her own, too. i love santos blaming langdon for her ostracization at the ED and her unwillingness to see that, separate of the langdon issue (however separate you can make it), if you go around being an asshole to your peers all the time, some people are just not going to fucking like you. i love that its garcia specifically who checks santos for the lack of decorum she's displaying in front of their patients in this ep because garcia herself could arguably stand to have a bit more decorum when talking about patients and she's also treating santos like a dogggg right now. i love that mel is overstepping boundaries with becca and coddling her in a way that doesnt allow becca the space she deserves to be an autonomous adult with autism who should be respected on her own terms because mel's also struggling with what it means to be an autonomous adult with autism who should be respected on her own terms. i think there's a difference between a show depicting characters behaving badly and cosigning their bad behavior. i think a good character and a good person are separate categories. i love that this is a show that isn't so obsessed with likability that it keeps its characters from behaving badly.
frankly, i hope these characters keep fucking up, and i hope they keep getting checked by their fellow fuck ups, because that's life, brother. there is no divine priestly class of sinless people who exist to tell the "bad" people off for their missteps. and i hope that, as the show progresses, we see robby, santos, mohan, langdon etc make more mistakes and better mistakes. and i love that this show, for all its flaws, is (imo) still holding true to its premise that people are not wholly defined by their best moments or their worst. no matter how uncomfortable it is to sit with that nuance or how tense that makes an episode of television lol.
ao3 does in fact have a reccomendations tab and it's called going to your favorite author's bookmarks list
"Was this book good or was I deeply 19 when I read it:" an investigative journalism series
“Was this book bad or was I simply lacking enough life experience to appreciate the narrative when I read it” : an award-winning followup
Sometimes, you pick up a book you hated as a teen, read it again with fresh eyes and lived experience, experience it anew and hate it for completely different reasons.
"Block this ad" isn't good enough, I need a feature that directly tells the company "this was so shit that it lowered my opinion of your product"
I love thinking I'm a hater and then meeting a real hater and going wow that does not look fun actually. Going back to my lukewarm hater ways. Performative haterdom. I couldn't name five hater bands.
I just saw a sam and Dean edit that had in its caption not wincest you weirdos or smth along those lines and as someone who's not a wincest shipper and who honestly doesn't like them as a ship I have to be the fucking devil's advocate bc using constellations as your song choice is a weird take for a non ship edit🤷♀️
Like....of all the songs in the world that's the song you choose? Isn't it a bit on you if people see it as a ship edit at that point?
The lyrics are literally
"Lights are turned off
Music is on
Minds are unlocked
This feeling is amazing
Hands on your waist
Liquor is all that we taste
Your freckles lead the way
I trace your constellations"
Wtf is your song choice for a brotherly edit💀
the countermeasure to dehumanisation is not sexualisation. the countermeasure is to treat the other person with respect and dignity actually.
i don't care if you wanna fuck fat people or hairy people or trans people or the elderly or disabled people or whatever. can you treat them like human beings
