Langdon's apology scene did not convince me he was truly sorry towards Santos, at all.I mean, sure he was sorry about stealing from the hospital, about failing Robby, about endangering patients' care and everything else that the drugs might have led him to. But I don't think he's that sorry about his opinion of Santos. He views his behaviour towards her as unprofessional and unhelpful, but not unfounded, and not exactly underserved (and no I don't care to talk about how Trinity had acted, you can give her some very valid criticisms, but it was only her first shift and she deserves some leeway for her mistakes). He might be sorry he expressed his opinion about Trinity in a bad manner, but he has no remorse for his harsh, uncompromising view of a girl he barely had the chance to know. He called her stupid and arrogant and he said that she knows nothing. Whenever he interacts with Trinity in the new season, even during his apology I'm not sure these beliefs of his has been altered.

Him telling Al-Hashimi that Santos doesn't like him? Which is true, but also manages to artfully to leave his own ass out of the equation, as if HE's been Trinity's biggest fan. And this way Langdon can seem like the bigger person. Look at him he's trying to be cordial with her!! It's a subtle, maybe unconscious kind of manipulation in which he makes himself look good in Al-Hashimi's eyes, whilst also consequentially making Trinity look like the bad guy again. And hadn't Al-Hashimi overheard them, she might have bought it. Now I'm not trying to imply that Langdon is trying to harm her career purposefully, but he on some level feels smited by her, by someone he doesn't respect or value at all and he will find any way possible to justify his personal dislike.

All of this to say, thank fuck Trinity didn't buy into his bullshit apology. Langdon has a long way to go before he starts treating Santos with actual mutual respect, seeing as they are coworkers and he has power over her.

I should say I rushed through posting this because I was clearing out my drafts. I did not convey all my feelings about this interaction very well at all.

Santos herself should be given agency and having at least three separate people call her out on her aggression and unprofessionalism(s2) or her recklessness and occasional arrogance(s1) is well worth it. Because she does make mistakes and she does need to be corrected on them and held to the same standard as everyone.

It is a completely separate matter that I find it reasonable for Trinity specifically not to believe or accept Langdon's apology. Now you may ask, if Langdon feels remorse in a sense(I think he does), why not just accept this. He was an ass that one time, he said he's sorry, let's move on. Perhaps to him that's all there is to it. He doesn't care about Trinity very much, and he doesn't care to change his opinion on her or regard her in the same manner he does Mel for example. Is that really so bad?

I would say that it shouldn't really matter to Santos whether Langdon is her biggest fan, nor should she be hoping to have everyone's grace. Even if Trinity seems a little sensitive to rejection, they're just coworkers, maybe it starts and ends in decency between them. The one thing that holds be back from saying this is the undercurrent of threat that Trinity experienced when dealing with Langdon in s1.

Listen I love Langdon with all my heart I really do, but his way with Trinity is a complex one. It's not just dislike, he felt threatened by her and he tried putting her down, lower than she could harm him. That is the truth and it is a harder reality to make right than simply having a criticism of somebody. Having this in mind it does bother me that Langdon doesn't acknowledge or understand this as his fault. This is his most uncomfortable penalty to Santos. His threat over her. I don't agree with dismissing this as a non-issue. Nor as I said, do I like him still trying to make himself look good to a new attending by framing Trinity as the odd party again (SHE doesn't like me). His goal may be gaining favour(where he can get none with Robby) but it is in her expense once more.

Of course Trinity doesn't trust him or believe him, he hasn't changed in the essence that threatens her most. And yes this also has to do with her past, Trinity can recognise being made lesser-than very easily because it has been done to her before.

Langdon doesn't care much for her or think highly of her, and that helps him demean her without even realising it at all. It may not mean much to Langdon whether or not he appreciates Santos, but if they had written him into understanding Trinity through the course of the season(of his shift) then this apology would be sincere in the sense that he would be looking her as an whole-rounded individual, not a threat or an inconvenience requiring his remorse.

I am not sure I'm making more sense now, but alas.

Fireworks, huh?

When is there an acceptable reason to have Jean in Pittsburgh, for like a minor injury or check up in the hospital (pls stop making him suffer more than necessary)

when you run out of fanart to look at so you resort to drawing your own

I decided to look up some ice hockey clips for the first time. Now I understand why Exy is supposed to be such a violent game. No, I am no longer confused about the in game fights. Even people defending Riko's swing at Neil seem more reasonable now. Those guys are like genuinely throwing hands.

Since I just watched a new marvel movie after all these years, I feel obligated to say :

Andrew as the punisher, and (despise how much I adore spiderman!Neil fanart) Neil as black widow.

The Foxhole Court, everyone

Not only do i like to make plans, but i's also something i kind of have to do to picture the place and make it plausible and accurate - escpecially if i want to make a comic.

That plan fixes the mistakes i made for the lounge one i did last year. I still believe the lounge looks like this somewhat, but i picture it wider now, the room was too small. Making those plans i had to remember that a usual exy team can fit up to 30ish people in it, so common rooms had to be large, each locker room should be able to fit ~15 people and so forth.

I'm preparing another drawing of a book scene. If you have a request do tell, i might make it the next one.

So I love looking a Neil's dynamics with all the foxes (and Jean). Cause these people aren't just his family, every single one of them are his best friends. You can pry that belief from my cold dead hands. All of them are his best friend in a different way. Matt is like a golden retriever who loves him unconditionally. Dan his captain and someone who care about him but also won't take his shit. Kevin was someone he idolised who then became real. Who even when they both thought Neil was going to die, didn't stop trying. Jean his misplaced partner, the only person who knew what it was like for Neil the nest. Allison is hard won, but truly is gossipy nosy best friend. Nicky who mother hen's him but also is loud enough to quiet his thoughts. Andrew who took his half truths and told him to stay. Renee who see's him exactly as he is and is the calm in the middle of a storm. And finally Aaron, who will snark him and fight him and be a downright asshole to him. But at the end of the day is something akin to a playmate he never had.
