Forgot to share my watercolor painting of Trinity Santos on here!!! Cross posted to my TikTok and instagram.

I love how this turned out. It was so hard to make but I’m so happy with it. I’ll be making a Dennis portrait next.

Links, reference, and process below the cut.

forever thinking about the fact that perlah alawi also had such a terrible awful fucking shift and managed to smile through most of it. stay her reliable self through most of it. even her emotions over louie didn't take over. she only let herself break on the roof, after the shift was done. perlah alawi I love you so so so much

Really not sure how Jeff Kober is being used as an example as to why the show is racist/misogynistic…he literally submitted himself. The only male supporting actor HBO submitted for the Pitt was Ernest Harden Jr.

whenever someone says that the writers made robby have underlying sexist bias "by accident" and "because the writers themselves have that bias", i want to scream. none of robby's character has happened by accident. he's been deliberately given a realistic bias by the writers in the same way mckay, ogilvie, javadi, whitaker etc all have. they're writing realistic characters to show that even the best of us can have these biases and ought to confront them.

every one of these biases is directly referenced in the plot. they are NOT by accident. at all. mckay is called out for her weight bias, ogilvie for his bias against addicts, dennis for his dismissal of female pain. all deliberately written in. LIKEWISE is robby's bias. in season one, it's a main plotline that ends in him apologising to mckay and saying that he should have listened to her when she told him that these girls were in danger. he admits he was wrong. this is written in the script on purpose with the same aim as the rest of the biases- addressing them head on. main plotlines are not accidental bias in the writers room.

im not saying the writers themselves have no biases- they're human like us and we all have them- but I'm saying that every part of robby as a character (yes, even subtle parts you think you're a genius for picking up on) has been written *meticulously*. this is no accident, it is careful scriptwriting.

this form of incorrect critique (because unfortunately it is completely incorrect to claim his misogyny is accidental) also does the job of erasing the fact that, of the nine writers, five are women, and four of those are women of colour. in fact, some of the episodes people hate robby the most in for his bias are ones written by woc. I *promise* you that they know what they're writing.

overall I find statements that ignore the canonical reality in that robby's bias is directly addressed in the show, in favour of calling the writers misogynist, is very disrespectful to the time, skill and nuance that they have poured into these characters- recognise their work at creating someone realistic.

you can analyse the characters and critique the writers absolutely! but make sure you know the content of the show you're analysing, and the nature and detail in which scripts are written- especially ones that sweep awards seasons.

Every time someone says Samira was born to work in the Pitt or any other variation of that sentence, i kinda get annoyed and frustrated, because, to me, the point that is made over and over again is that no one is made for this job.

We see it especially in Dana and Robby who have been there for years now, but Samira has been showing signs of burnout since season 1. We know she doesn’t have much of a life outside of work, and that is taking a massive fucking toll on her. There is no work/life balance, there isnt with any of them, but we see it most clearly in her and that is taking its toll.

The point of the show is that this is a cruel and thankless job, but they still do it, and change needs to be made to better support these workers.

And saying that any one character was made or born to do this feels contradictory to the message and ignores the story being told. In season one, Dana, who’s life has been so connected to PTMC, nearly quits, nearly leaves what she has been doing her whole life, because it’s too much and she doesn’t know if she can take the abuse again, because it will always happen again. There is only so much these people can handle before they reach their breaking point, and we saw Samira getting closer and closer to that breaking point throughout season 2.

I wouldn’t be surprised if an explanation of Samira’s absence is something to do with burnout, because she is the type (as we saw in season one) to work until she breaks. And with Al-Hashimi in charge, maybe she was pushed to take a break. I dont know, and we wont know until it’s released.

Being in healthcare is a job that kills, we see that in both the show and real life. Saying someone was born to do this feels naive and ignorant to the toll it takes on a person, because if someone was born for this, why is it killing them?

#notable that robby got called out for his bad behavior and apologized#i'm sure everyone will acknowledge and respect this#and the fact that mohan feels free to both interrupt him and call him a dick without worrying for her job says a lot#which i'm sure everyone will also acknowledge and respect#for we are all reasonable around here
