Sorrows, Sorrows, Prayers...

🤟🖖 Just my thoughts

Rewatching season 1 of The Pitt and getting more and more obsessed with whatever the fuck is wrong with Abott and Walsh.

Are they former/grown step-siblings (platonic pairing!!!), or (ex) in-laws, or just exes, or divorced exes, or married, or situationship final bosses, or just workplace enemies? Is she the one who cut his leg off (read that in a fanfic where they have a preteen daughter and that's how they met and she's explaining that to an outsider POV like HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL and I have no notes, loved it)? Are they both into Samira Mohan? Yes to that last one but fuck if I know the answers to the rest of that but I am absolutely living for all the different dynamics I see in fics trying to explain why they are the way they are with each other lmfao.

Every interaction is so pointed, and the reactions from the other characters witnessing their unhingeness are hilarious. Like poor Shen looks like he's having flashbacks to being a kid and watching his parents passive aggressively argue in front of him, while Jesse just looks so done with their shit lmao.

Something is rotten in the state of The Pitt. Like this behind-the-scenes mess - because no way this was a preplanned exit - is something that typically happens after several years/seasons of a show, not within eighteen months of the pilot premiering.

And the "its where the writing took us"/"its realism" argument is just giving me war flashbacks to Supernatural fridging nearly every recurring female character they could. Like I get Langdon sticking around because he's repeating the year and his education/career was paused when we left him at the end of s1 BUT that means him and Mohan are literally in the same year now, so how is he still there but she's been written off?

Four months jump from s2, the majority of the pittlings are going to be in the exact same positions they are now. The only ones I'm not sure of are Javadi, Joy and Ogilvie because if we are going the "realism" route, shouldn't they - especially Javadi - be on a different rotation?

Look, I absolutely love Javadi, she's one of my favs but if you asked me at the start of the season who I thought we wouldn't see in s3, purely because of the year of school she's in, Javadi was at the top of my list. I also really enjoyed Joy but I feel like the ER is a once and done rotation for her (my girl knows what she wants and she is not letting herself be dragged to the depths of hell and i love that for her. Langdon's face when she left still kills me, like yes sweetheart some people do have a healthy work/life balance, it is not a myth my guy) and honestly where Ogilvie's future lies is anybody's guess atm. But otherwise, Santos, Langdon, Mel, Whitaker, McKay and Parker, etc are all in the same positions/roles as they currently are in this season. The only difference is Parker is going to be on day shift.

It's just really lazy writing and really lazy excuses.

The implications of Thalia's "death" for both her and Jason... I can't stop thinking about the scenes in the throneroom in the last toa book, where Hera is actively mourning Jason and Zeus' reaction - HE NEVER DESERVED ANY OF THOSE KIDS!!!!

[roseraintears]

I was actually thinking about this too....the Show Version of Zeus defenetly would let Jason die as punishment for speaking Up against him

[hamletshoeratio]

Oh definitely! It definitely reads that he was dead the minute he spoke up for Apollo (especially given Zeus' reaction to Hera mourning Jason in the throneroom scenes of the last toa book)

[hamletshoeratio]

When I said I wanted Katie and Hermes' son on screen together, I meant her and Travis going from a beloved fanon ship to a canon ship, NOT TRAVIS' BROTHER STABBING HER!!!

Oh, but the angst potential...

Katie accusing Travis of possibly being the traitor after Beckendorf's death because he's Luke's brother hits so much harder given his other brother Chris is the one who stabbed her and betrayed camp - AHHHH

I will never not get annoyed at how Rick handled Jason's interactions with the Camp Jupiter campers in heroes of olympus because they deserved far better (especially Reyna & Jason and Hazel & Jason) but I want to talk specifically about Jason & Dakota. They were friends!!!!! Dakota worried for him and mourned him!!! He stayed loyal to Reyna (+ the seven)!!! And the one canon interaction we get to see of them is Jason basically flinging him out of the way in moa when the Romans attack the ship and Jason yelling sorry to him. Oh and they both die in toa. I hope you're at least together in Elysium babes!

[hamletshoeratio]

Chris Rodriguez is either straight up going to betray camp and switch sides during the fight in the finale, or the writers will keep him on camp's side till season 3/Titans Curse and build on his relationship with Clarisse, only for him to desert in the closing stages of the season (a season where we also might get a Silena and/or Charlie introduction). I honestly don't know which will hurt more.

The way Eloise as Joan of Arc is looking at Benophie... I MAY LIVE IN DELUSION BUT MANIFESTING THEO X ELOISE ENDGAME AND GOODBYE FOREVER DISCOUNT MR ROCHESTER!

Based on x, which blew up more than I was expecting lmao. Happy anniversary Castiel and Destiel <3

[hamletshoeratio]

Not to spnrot but today being the anniversary of the pilot reminded me that September 18th/the anniversary of Lazarus Rising and Cas' debut is also this week and its a fucking Thursday of all days. It was a Thursday when it originally aired too, meaning (canonically in universe and irl) Castiel both debuted and died on a Thursday (Nov 5th 2020). He died the way he started, by saving Dean Winchester. Happy anniversary Destiel, you'll never not make me mentally unwell.

First words I heard, clear as a bell - "Dean Winchester is saved." / He saved me.

Jean calling Ruby selfish when she was the one singular member of the triangle to think of any of the kids involved *facepalms*. And this entire situation was a direct parallel to the fire that killed her mum and her sister, that Ruby survived because her dad thought she was her sister. Again, she's the second choice. Which is such a painful parallel. Love Patrick comforting her, I have always adored Patrick Trueman.

It's even worse when someone was selfish at a time like this Jean, and that was Stacey. Her giving Martin that ultimatum and refusing to leave - I do not have the words. Time and place. Had Stacey just gone with Martin when he cleared the way and had that conversation outside, five kids would still have their father (figure) right now. Instead, Arthur has lost both of his dads, Roman will never remember his dad, Bex hasn't seen her dad in person in ages and never will again, Hope will never get the father-daughter bond through her teenage years like Bex did, Lily at least got to tell him that she loved him one last time. Stacey and Martin would have the future they talked about had she left with him then.

The first baby born in Eastenders, dies on the 40th anniversary as another baby is born. Bittersweet.

I hope Ruby brings Roman to the allotment, where Martin did the memorial for Lou Lou ; the baby that they lost, so he can colour a stone for his Daddy too. I doubt eastenders will do this because it's to do with Ruby, but they remembered the tree Kush planted for his and Shabnam's baby boy recently, so who knows.

Four years ago, Castiel invented freewill. Castiel's story began and ended with him saving Dean Winchester. Knowing Dean, loving Dean changed him. And he broke the rules of his universe, and he disobeyed his God to save him. He saw Dean, he knew Dean, he saw the good and the bad that existed in Dean Winchester and he still loved him completely, not in spite of the bad but because of it.

In season 4, I demand more Benedict and Hyacinth interactions. Gregory's off to school, Anthony and Kate are off to India, Eloise and Francesca are off to Scotland, the other two have married and moved out, so these two are the last ones under Violet's roof, I love what we've gotten of them but I need more bonding scenes. They're both hilarious and completely unhinged at times, I need more of this chaotic sibling duo.

[hamletshoeratio]

Colin telling Eloise that she's fortunate because she has never been in love when it's his other half's fault she had to walk away from "one of the only good things" in her life because LW put him in harm's way.

[hamletshoeratio]

I dreamed that I was watching a clip from bridgerton where Theo and Eloise got together in part 2 and woke up believing it happened (so much so I started going through the tags, the absolute heartbreak when I realised that I had made it up), and I'm up too early to know whether I'm actually a prophet or if I'm just plain old delusional lmao

[hamletshoeratio]

"Penelope saying I can't breathe and passing out will trigger the Bridgertons because of Edmund's death!!! Especially Anthony and Violet because they're all going to be concerned for her! Who knows, it might even shake Eloise out of her grudge too!"
