Olivia: “Where is he now, Casey? Your schizo ex-boyfriend. Is he locked up somewhere?”

Casey: “Get out of my office.”

Olivia: “He’s the reason that you tanked the Picard case. That man deserves to be punished for what he did.”

Whitaker either should start charging the hospital for his chaplain's services, or they need to give him a little service animal vest

yall don’t get it, dennis is robby. or at least who robby used to be.

robby used to be the guy who found purpose in being there for people on the worst days of their lives. he used to find meaning in being the one that helped you say goodbye to your father or your son or your brother.

he used to be the one comforting people in the ambulance bay, telling them to go home, that he can pick up the work load while they recover. they framed that shot the same way they framed the heather/robby confrontation for a reason.

but robby’s not that guy anymore. he doesn’t find fulfillment in this. he doesn’t do this because he likes being there for people, he does this because he feels he has the obligation to.

so when people complain about dennis not having a storyline this season, i don’t find that valid. dennis is showing us the beginning of robby’s story. he’s inserting himself into a family (janey and amy rhyming is so telling), he’s assuming responsibility for a child that isn’t biologically his, he’s falling into a work friendship with a deeply traumatized person (with scars on their leg). dennis’s future is also unfolding before our eyes. the dramatic tension that happens with his character is whether or not he will keep giving these pieces of himself like robby did. the question that dennis (as a dramatic device) poses is was there something that could’ve been done in the beginning to keep robby from becoming this or was it inevitable the whole time?

we’re watching dennis to see if he will crumble the same way, if the cycle will continue.

Assad Zaman as Armand | THE VAMPIRE LESTAT 3x04 | “The Devils Road”

[lexdelioncourt]

Daniel verbally pummeling the shit out of Armand in the bowling alley and telling him he hopes his dick falls off (no you don't), versus Daniel with the sad puppy eyes when Lestat publically humiliates Armand at the concert.

He really said, "HEY! ONLY I'M ALLOWED TO SHIT TALK MY DAD!"

[schusseltier]

let him speak….

[angelcuppa]

something so poetically beautiful about devil’s minion is that armand is five hundred years old. he had daniel for twelve of those. a mere twelve. that’s not even a twentieth of his entire existence. and yet those twelve years were enough to blind armand with love, enough to make him weak in the face of daniel’s probing, enough to make him turn a mortal into a vampire after always finding it so repulsive! he has lived half a millennium, loved deeply before daniel, and yet. and yet! armand was so distracted by his love for daniel that he unconsciously let daniel destroy the seventy seven years he had built up with louis in a single moment. almost one hundred years with the ‘love of his life’, gone in an instant.

and in the same vein, something just as romantic is that daniel doesn’t even remember those years with armand, but they still haunt him relentlessly. they fuck up his life, bring him to his knees. he feels armand’s absence until he dies without even knowing what it is. daniel is so proud and so cruel and bitter and yet he is weak to armand, too, without even being aware of it.

an ancient vampire who remembers a decade or so in vivid detail. and a mortal who does not remember a thing, yet misses him anyway. no wonder their vampire bond makes the whole world fall away. it as if from the moment they met they have circled each other, unable to pull out of each others orbit no matter how hard they try.

btw if youre young and scared of doing adult things without your parents ive learned that like 90% of the time you can just tell the doctors office or the dmv "haha sorry ive never done this without help before... can you show me how to do this?" the employee will not care. if that means anything to you

[mercurialkitty]

The above is true.

Also, if you feel like you need information before you go, ask a public librarian first.

"haha sorry ive never *gone to the dmv before* *made a budget* *selected a primary care doctor* *planned meals* … can you tell me how to prepare for/research this?"

A good librarian will ask you more about what you need to do, and guide you through the websites or other resources with you try to understand it, print/email a copy for you, and also draw on personal experience as much as possible -- falling just short of giving you actual legal or medical advice.

Plus you are helping the library by using resources and adding to their stats.

also LOVED Ellis pulling Mel aside to reassure her in a way that didn't cause excess stress. Mel has anxiously mentioned "not being able to talk about it" multiple times this season to multiple different people and Ellis went "okay well we're not talking about it you're listening to me monologue" just to make sure she was offering her reassurance that would affirm her own belief in Mel AND the fact that she and Mel did nothing wrong. that they did that spinal tap perfectly and the aftermath had nothing to do with the tap. god I love Dr. Parker Ellis
