Dr. Al Hashimi being the only person in the entire ED to pronounce Victoria and Samira’s names correctly and consistently introducing herself without whitening her name and making it easier to pronounce is such a small detail that’s actually so fantastic and true to her character because actually think this is something all brown (using this to refer to south asian and middle eastern women atm) women would like to do but are always slightly at fear of being like too much or too ethnic but eventually there is a specific archetype of brown women who develop a level of confidence and self assurance (plus a no-bullshit, get it done attitude) who decide to purposefully establish their name with the correct pronunciation and do the same for others AND MAYBE IM READING TOO MUCH INTO IT but the choice to portray Dr. Al Hashimi as one of these women makes so much sense to me as someone who has been a part of these communities

Santos telling Whitaker she's mad about Langdon being an asshole and that being what Langdon apologizes for (being an asshole) in his sincere but not good apology. her projecting about him potentially relapsing while she's on the verge of her own relapse of self-harm. oh, Santos and Langdon parallel arcs are so good when people aren't trying to tell you one is totally wrong and one is totally correct. luckily for us the writers know that yay

What I think is so so compelling about The Pitt, and is so gratifying in the fandom, is the empathy it forces you to have for every character while also forcing you to confront their flaws. We love Dr. Robby and we empathize greatly with his immense trauma, but we also can't accept how it makes him treat Dr. Mohan. Santos is completely valid in her dislike of Langdon and her disinterest in forgiving him, at the same time though it's clear her attitude is the real issue she has with her coworkers, and she finds it easier to blame him. Garcia is right to point out these issues to Santos, but she's also being incredibly hypocritical at the same time because she's also rude and confrontational and she's having an inappropriate relationship with Santos. Langdon is right he's been through a lot the last ten months, but none of that is appropriate to bring up in his apology to Santos. It's equally not fair of her to ask him to tell people his personal information. Like many people in the world, Ogilvie can't empathize with a situation unless he is in it or experiencing it, but once he does, it kinda seems to affect him a lot. Dr. Robby can't handle people confronting things within themselves that he isn't ready to handle in himself, and it makes him kind of drag them down to his level and it's been ugly to watch this season.

Anyways. Lots of things can be true at once, your perception affects your reality, and you can be valid but also not doing the right thing. I think we should all try to have the empathy for each other that we do for the characters on The Pitt.

my take on every pitt character btw

[oliveshark]

The writers have been sprinkling in hints throughout the season that Langdon isn't fully accepting responsibility for the harm he caused. Him getting upset and accusing Robby of punishing him when he was put in triage after not working for 10 months. Lying to Mel about "It never affected my work", despite him stealing and diluting medication necessary for patient care. The way he was told multiple times by two separate people that trying to talk to Robby would just upset him. Santos making it obvious that she doesn't want to interact with him, but he kept trying to force his way back into a teaching role. His sarcastic and condescending remarks during the teaching case. And then the half-lie he gave Al-Hashimi about "Well I was kinda an asshole to her once :(", instead of "She caught me stealing drugs and I tried to get her fired".

The writers were never going to get us the sickly sweet moment where Langdon thanks Santos for saving him from addiction.

this is not a criticism of trinity santos these are just facts about her character that i know to be true.

she has a massive victim complex and it’s becoming a self fulfilling prophecy. this stems from her being victimized in her youth, but the way she feeds into it and refuses to heal means she is always going to view herself as a perpetual victim and always as the harmed party. this is a detriment not only to her own mental health but also to the people around her. she lashes out at people but doesn’t think she’s hurting them because in her mind she CAN’T hurt anyone. SHE’S always the victim. she can make fun of whitaker for his patient dying but he can’t make fun of her dropping a scalpel. she can call victoria a shitty nickname and just because she doesn’t intend for it to be malicious, that should mean that victoria shouldn’t tell her to stop, regardless of it’s impact. when she messes up and gets reprimanded, she goes into a total freeze because she doesn’t know how to cope with a situation without making herself the victim. power and agency was taken from trinity when she was young and vulnerable and she’s never been able to grow from that. that’s why she projects onto to every little girl that comes through the er. she has to look out for patients she sees herself in because she needed help and didn’t get any. and i think you can really see how stuck in her own misery she is through the way she views langdon. she thinks she’s a pariah because of langdon and not her own actions. she brought him up to garcia multiple times over the ten months he was away even when she thought that he had been fired and she wouldn’t ever see him again. she’s addicted to picking at her own wounds. this probably ties into her self harming habit too, she is always hurting herself again and again because hurt is the only way she knows how to be. she can’t accept that langdon has grown because she doesn’t know what it’s like to grow and move on from something.

a while back I reblogged a post pointing out that it's totally reasonable to have a crush on someone and just Not Act On It, Ever, At All, and I cannot stop thinking about the sweet souls in the notes who seemed baffled as to why anyone would ever want to leave a crush unspoken. absolutely fascinating life experience you must be having if that's not a possibility that's ever even cropped up, I have to say. I don't think it's unforgivably naive or anything but it does warrant further study.
