Getting back into House MD was not the play ngl, I watched it a decade+ ago but now I'm just a hundred times worse about it because why is Wilson actually freak, because in the House inducing a migraine episode, Wilson just goes out of his way to make noise, he gives sadist who's trying to ignore that part of himself because it's uncomfortable and tries to make up for it
Yes this is prob going to amount to me writing about Wilson playing dirty when the chips are down because he's into House coming and asking him for pills, gen into House being in pain and only finding any sense of relief from Wilson himself and that's why he's so mad when he finds out House has been forging prescriptions, he's been robbed ty for your time
my goonerism has been fed
i loved that migraine scene though BUT i found it odd that he still poured him a glass of water while pouring the coffee away for him (albeit very loudly, but still)
i think it's 'cause he still wanted to help, or give the illusion of helping, house.
house should have called him out for being a hypocrite because what was that, but he was too impaired for that
typing the word impaired to describe house is stirring something in me so i'll end this here
I think IT'S JUST SO CLEAR LIKE the ducklings are far kinder, lowering their voice to accommodate while Wilson will do this front of being helpful, in a 'I'm just getting this guy water' but in the loudest possible way then just pretend it's because he forgot he needs to be quiet, he gives sadist and the fact House USUALLY catches him out, makes Wilson struggle to catch himself. Today, I watched the episode where House calls Wilson who's sleeping when doing the self surgery and YK for a fact if Wilson went there, 1. He'd make House say whichever combination of words to get more pain relief before pulling the tumours out himself and 2. Wilson would definitely spend more time than strictly necessary to take them out, esp if House is a little too out of it (Wilson giving a little too much morphine so House's mouth curls up and I just have a vision)
ALSO when House slams a pestle into his hand and is Wilson just immediately starts talking about gating mechanisms for pain like that guy is a certified freak, I'll die on this hill that he's tried use this as a way to involve maintenance spanking or something (absolutely has to be in House's office because Wilson thinks the glass walls adds to the whole atmosphere but I'm also really for the concept of House going to Wilson's office specifically to recount all sorts of slights solely to see where Wilson will catch on and say 'idk that don't sound like you', it's a win-win really because why is Wilson literally the only person who can call House's bluffs with EASE, and it makes Wilson smug/act self-righteous and hit a little harder
They feed each other's freak fs
pfft yes james wilson and his intimate knowledge of physical abuse as pain relief. i swear they HAVE tried that before, i have read so many fics where house begs wilson to hit him to numb the pain but none where wilson asks to hit him. i mean, of course, because it would ruin the whole good guy facade.
but YES YES wilson calling house out and using that as a reason to go all out, ohhhh my YES!
also for the self-surgery thing I literally just wrote a fic about THAT idea where wilson went instead of cuddy :sob: like I HAD TO it was such a good setting ohhhmy lord? personally i loved that scene a LOT and c'mon, wilson wouldn't have been sleeping because 1) he's already used to mid-night calls from house so he became a light sleeper and would instantly wake up at the sound of his ringtone and 2) i think he knew that house was taking those experimental drugs and that they caused cancer and 3) i want wilson to be there instead of cuddy

i didn't REALLY incorporate wilson's sadism because it wasn't my main focus but the guy really takes his own sweet time.
Hahahah NO way this is wonderful, I love this part
“I’ve got morphine. How much have you taken?” asked the dutiful man, the esteemed clinician, his voice lacking even the smallest scrap of concern, so unlike what House had imagined. Though, did any of that really matter? If Wilson suddenly turned into a medical handyman during gruesome emergencies, all the better for him.
Wilson getting a littlee bit weird with it, acting the completely wrong way because he hasn't assembled the mask he usually wears, doesn't really wear it around House so now that House is unable to do owt, he lets the mask drop a little more so than usual. I like how House doesn't even find it off-putting at all. Wilson's an anomaly, House literally expects everything everyone does, but not Wilson which is soooo, no wonder they've been pals for so long.
Now I've got the vision in my head, Wilson talking House through self-surgery because Wilson thinks House can do it himself, just imagine Wilson holding House's hands steady, as if he's a resident, I'm just thinking of House on morphine muttering something about if Wilson's ever thought of having kids, he's sure the guy would be good at it, because House absolutely 1. Has daddy issues and 2. Will 100% think about Wilson like a God because he is Adam's rib, he's putty in Wilson's hands and will fix himself with guidance. House needs to be thinking about the church, something his (supposed) actual father, Thomas being a preacher or whatever, believes and just falling down that absolute rabbit hole while on morphine because he can kind of see himself believing if Wilson could be a manifestation of a sort
I def think Wilson pushing a little, claiming he can't let House self-harm (because that's what it is, really) but offers a safer option, he's got to be kind of awkward about it like in a 'you might not like it, but give it a shot', maybe turn it into a stupid bet and House can't even find a flaw in the idea, worst case it doesn't work out and he gets to laugh at Wilson for having dubious bedroom habits BECAUSE Bonnie planted that idea in his head, and House needs to knoww. It seems good esp since he gets to call Wilson a freak and wonders if his wives liked this kind of stuff. And Wilson's just steering the topic away completely because he doesn't want to talk about them rn and House figures it's not a no, Wilson prob never snapped as much as he does with House though because House pushes and pushes until something gives, and it's always Wilson who gives, it's what he does.
