i try not to be a snob when it comes to reading so i like to believe all kinds of reading are valid, you know, all of the ebooks and audiobooks count too if that’s how you need to get your reading in, but i can’t even lie when a friend told me her reading goal is 50 books and she hit 36 already… i got a little insecure until she said it was audiobooks. love u girl thanks for consuming literature and sorry about how i am just because i can only read paperbacks
they are awarding me an honorary doctorate for my work on tumblr.com

season 8
NOBODY GIVE SPOILERS PLEASE!!!!! I'M ON SEASON 4 AS OF POSTING THIS
maybe it's weird for a girlie who mostly talks about season four, but the season one cases are kind of the show in microcosm for me. cameron's inability to deal with death in maternity; the show's first confrontation with religion and chase's scripture in damned if you do; house seeing sense in the patient in the socratic method; john henry giles' monologue in dnr; the parallel with chase's dad in cursed; my favorite self-harming girlboss in control; house's little flicker of belief in role model; house moving heaven and earth for the patient to choose her own life in babies & bathwater; and that's before three stories/honeymoon.
apropos of nothing, but i don't think house is romantically interested in thirteen. of course, he is deeply interested in her as a person and he recognizes that she's objectively incredibly beautiful and sexually harasses her, but i don't think he's particularly attracted to her. ugly plays with the idea that house is so enamored with thirteen's looks that he's overlooking her flaws, but the episode concludes by refuting that idea: she is smart and house is justified in his interest in her, apart from her looks. and then there's house's head: he fantasizes about cuddy, obviously, but his amber hallucinations are highly sexually charged. thirteen also crosses his mind while hallucinating, but never in a sexual way. and in the social contract, he manufactures a situation to get cuddy in a room with thirteen and the patient with frontal lobe disinhibition because he's so sure the patient will prefer cuddy's body to thirteen's.
house needles her about her bisexuality and implies he wants to see her with women. but when she gets herself invited to chase's bachelor party, he doesn't show any interest in actually watching her make out with a stripper (though tbf he had a lot going on at the moment lol). similarly, when thirteen takes him to a lesbian bar, he actually seems mildly annoyed when she turns her attention away from him to interact with a woman. he would quite literally rather just have a drink with her than see her in any kind of sexual situation.
the only time i ever felt sexual tension with them was you don't want to know. the biopsy scene is full on kink banter, obviously. and even in the final scene with the test results, a serious moment, he seems to be looking at her lips??
if you ask me, it's her aggression he was attracted to. compare thirteen drugging and stabbing him to cuddy tripping him or forcing him to walk up the stairs in season five. i don't think it's controversial to say that house is attracted to women with some kind of power over him. his most important relationships were with his boss and with a lawyer who can dish it out as well as him. it's a similar story with amber; i don't think house was actually interested in her sexually until the war for wilson, when she became his adversary instead of his teacher's pet. for house, sexual tension is bound up with, well, regular tension.
thirteen is not much in house's thrall, as wilson says, and she is quite capable of putting him in his place, so it's not impossible for house and thirteen to have that kind of dynamic. (so i can understand shipping them.) but in canon, thirteen doesn't really play that game with him in a sustained way. maybe she's just not interested in exerting power over him; i don't think she views house as someone who needs to be controlled or changed by force. or maybe it's contextual. thirteen's aggression towards him in you don't want to know was reactive to his invasiveness. but when he's again cruel to her in early season five, she just kind of . . . takes it. thirteen's self-destruction brings out house's protectiveness (and his self-projection), but not so much his romantic interest.

One of the paintings in Cuddy's office
How You Die Out In Me – Dirk Hagner
15″ x 18″ etching in 3 colors & chine colle
The etching “How you die out in me” was inspired by the lines by Jewish poet Paul Celan: “Down to the last worn-out knot of breath, you’re there with a splinter of life.” It shows lilies in a vase which are withering away, reminding us that all ideas of beauty are transient.
source 1, 2
Although it’s said here as lilies, I think they are more likely to be amaryllis. In the top left corner, it says "von Janssen," which almost certainly refers to the German artist Horst Janssen. And it means the painter Dirk Hagner was inspired by him when creating the work. Throughout his career, Janssen produced a large number of works depicting different stages of plant life cycles, and withered or dying amaryllis flowers were among his most recurring and recognizable subjects. And after looking up some references and comparing the botanical characteristics of lilies and amaryllis (the main difference between these two flowers lies in the shape of their stigmas), I also find the latter identification more convincing.
As for the painting itself, my personal interpretation is this:
The amaryllis is traditionally associated with pride, splendid beauty, strength, and determination. Here, however, the flowers are shown in the final stages of decline. Aging, illness, and death are part of the natural order, and the gradual fading of life is often accompanied by grief because it cannot be reversed. The flowers remain vividly vermilion, creating the impression that some vitality still persists despite the visible signs of decline. Rather than diminishing their presence, their fading state seems to emphasize their resilience.
The line at the bottom of the painting—“Down to the last worn-out knot of breath, you're there with a splinter of life” includes the word splinter, which ordinarily refers to a small, thin, sharp fragment. “a splinter of” something suggests that only a tiny remnant remains. At the same time, the word carries a sense of sharpness and persistence. The flowers may be near the end of their life cycle, but that final remnant of life becomes all the more striking because of its fragility. In that sense, the withering itself becomes the last sharp proof of vitality.
That is why I think this painting works particularly well in a hospital setting. It is not merely a reminder of mortality; it is also a reminder of the value, dignity, and persistence of life even in its most vulnerable moments. And perhaps that is what medicine is ultimately about—not denying mortality, but preserving life.
saw the invite last night (hilarious, would recommend) and in the year of our lord 2026, i can mostly see olivia wilde without thinking of thirteen, but there was a bit where bisexuality came up and i smiled so big lol
something I’ve had a bit of difficulty trying to wrap my brain around re: last resort is who on the outside knows what things that have happened on the inside at any given time.
There’s this conference call that seems to just be happening sometimes between house, the fellows, and Cuddy at certain points and I’m like. when did we get on the phone with everyone. who knows what information at what point.
If the hospital is on lockdown (save for the ER, it seems), why are the fellows just hanging out in the diagnostics office. WHERE is the diagnostics office relative to everything that’s happening. At what point do the fellows all migrate from the ER to Diagnostics and are they not needed in the ER? Because they’re all there in the beginning. Assumedly busy doing things.
i think after the swat team came in, they removed everyone except the main characters. the other team members are shown in the er hallway (??) right after the swat team is first introduced, presumably to help prepare the remaining er patients for transfer to other hospitals. so they aren't needed after that's done.
shortly after, house begins making deals with the patient (the capsaicin in exchange for bloods and records), so presumably bowman allows the remaining main characters to stay in the hospital at their own risk to run the requested tests. after that, foreman and cameron are also seen in the lab and everyone in the diagnostics office.
I think we also see Wilson back in the ER at some point though? I think?
yeah, you're right. i guess they didn't move everyone out? the transcript says wilson is with an icu patient so maybe some patients couldn't be moved?
