modern house md headcanons
— he is unnaturally adept at picking up new slang and loves surprising the team with it. one time chase conducted some extra tests for him and he said “thanks, you’re the goat”
— regularly says “womp womp” when giving a patient a prognosis; once it provoked them enough to take the treatment he’d been pushing
— “what the HELL is a labubu”
— he actually really likes tiktok. he enjoys watching stupid people and would like seeing fan edits of himself (since he’s actually a well-known doctor). it would inflate his ego even more
— went through a phase where he continuously sang “moonbeam ice cream taking off your blue jeans” just to annoy everyone
— when he found out cameron was a lesbian all he said in response to anything she did was “good luck, babe”
— he LOVES mobile games. he plays the really stupid ones and spends money on them. it’s another way to pass the time while he’s avoiding clinic duty
— the covid era was literally his dream come true. he could still work and solve cases but he didn’t have to deal with the people. he did enjoy zoom calling with his team, though, even if it was just to make fun of them (especially cameron, who was having a hard time not being face-to-face with everyone). he made sure to work on his diagnostics cases but, as usual, he was still lazy from time to time
— goes through a keeping up with the kardashians phase. he quotes them regularly and cancels his plans to watch the season finale
— he sends foreman videos about crime and theft with the message “this you?”
— has an instagram account where all he posts are candid pictures (mostly of cuddy). he posts a lot, to everyone’s annoyance. the pictures are never flattering
— even though he acts annoyed at everyone for being online all the time (“we have JOBS, act like it”), he’s in tune with the current slang and trends
— kept the team in check during covid along with cuddy. very methodical about scheduling zoom calls, checking up with patients, etc.
— he really hates popular trends. he will insult anyone who partakes in them without hesitation (which unfortunately includes cameron and her labubus)
— gets into online chess and influences pretty much everyone to do the same. soon enough the whole team, wilson, and cuddy are playing chess on their phones while they should be working
— even though he hates trends he becomes oddly enthusiastic about stanley cups. he unironically thinks every other type of cup is inferior. “damn, those white girls were right, these cups are great”
— loud and proud ai hater. if anyone even MENTIONS chatgpt near him he goes on a full-on rant about how harmful ai is
— listens to teddy swims. he likes his music a lot
— the most online out of the everyone. he’s always the first to start using new slang and referencing new trends
— he was pretty lazy during covid, to the annoyance of everyone who worked at the hospital. cuddy and foreman had to constantly remind him to do his work. only house supported his lazy habits
— he and cameron have similar music tastes, much to the amusement of house (who always teases him about it). he likes charli xcx and even listens to taylor swift and chappell roan every so often
— makes references no one else understands. it’s not even on purpose; he’s just so chronically online that he assumes everyone knows what he’s talking about (“it’s like that one video where… never mind”). it’s rare but every once in a while house does actually get one of his references, especially if it came from tiktok
— house makes insensitive jokes about the fires in australia even though chase is, in fact, living in america
— dabbles in being a dj after seeing some tiktoks about it. he goes through a phase where he’s on the rave scene and posts about it, momentarily forgetting that his coworkers could see and make fun of him for it. house called him party boy, rave master, disc jockey, and other related nicknames for the next few weeks
— she is really into popular trends and spends a lot of time on tiktok. if anyone ever has a question about stuff happening online, they go to her
— obsessed with labubus. she collects them and shows them off like they’re her children. her backpack and locker are infested with labubus. she isn’t at all discouraged by the fact that the whole team has a strong hatred towards them. an episode side plot consists of a furious cameron trying to find out who trashed her labubus. “when i find out who did this, you’re dead.”
— she realized she was a lesbian in some way or another. at some point she tells the team just to get it off her chest and they joke about it at any given chance (but they give her their unspoken support)
— very enthusiastic about chappell roan. she played good luck, babe! for a week straight after its release. she screams the bridge without shame
— uses social media a lot in general. she loves pinterest and instagram the most and is a frequent poster. she has lots of pinterest boards and takes pride in them
— she struggled a lot during covid. she hated not being able to talk to patients face-to-face and could only cope through zoom calls
— she convinces the team, house, cuddy, and wilson to go to lollapalooza or coachella one year. everyone has a lot of fun, even if they won’t admit it. her, chase, and foreman were in the front row screaming along to songs they knew while cuddy and wilson watched it all in a state of polite confusion (house was likely causing mischief in the crowd somewhere)
— to distract her during covid she got into the whole vsco aesthetic. she has a hydro flask and a couple of shell necklaces, and she still uses the app every so often
— has a great taste in music and always knows about current artists and current hits. she had a charli xcx phase that endlessly annoyed just about everyone except chase and cuddy
— HUGE taylor swift fan. she’s loved her for many years and is always the first to gush about a new album is coming out. house makes fun of her enthusiasm (“cameron, shut up about your lesbian crush on taylor swift for one second. people are dying”)
— the team has unanimously agreed to never let her discover k-pop in fear of what her obsession would be like for them. little do they know, she had a k-pop phase before she started working at the hospital. they freak out when she asks if they’ve seen k-pop demon hunters
— his guilty pleasure is those fruit sensory videos. one time house barged into his office and he closed the tab like his life depended on it
— he’s adorably helpless with social media. he is the most clueless out of everyone when it comes to trends and slang. when house called chase the goat, he was extremely confused (“that’s… not a goat, that’s chase. are you feeling alright, house?”)
— tried his best during covid but could not for the life of him figure out zoom calls. he always accidentally had some ridiculous filter or voice changer on that had everyone fighting to hold back their laughter
— he picked up some dubai chocolate from the store one day and was confused when everyone made fun of him for it
— when house finally convinced him to get an iphone he struggled with it at first. he kept tapping the phone really hard like an old person which made cameron laugh so hard she nearly spit out her drink
— “what’s a… meme?” (he pronounces it mee-mee)
— everyone loves sending him posts that he won’t understand. his dms are filled with the team’s memes, videos, and whatever else they can find to confuse him
— big fan of cocomelon. after he sees cuddy putting it on the tv for rachel, he starts playing it for all his younger patients
— she has a very organized and nice-looking instagram feed. she’s not that great at navigating social media, but she likes to make her profiles look nice whenever she can
— house convinced her to get tiktok and she made the mistake of thinking he had pure intentions. instead, since she doesn’t know how to private her liked videos, he incessantly makes fun of her for the posts she’s liked
— she LOVES lady gaga. she makes house, wilson, and the rest of the team go to one of her concerts with her when she comes near princeton
— the only one who pretends to tolerate cameron’s labubu obsession. “oh, that’s nice…!”
— she’s good at taking pictures. her instagram page is quite popular at the hospital; it was only for her friends at first but house leaked the username to pretty much everyone at ppth
— she puts on cocomelon for rachel. the team finds out and they playfully tease her for it
— took charge during covid. her and foreman kept the hospital up and running from their respective homes and had an insanely good work ethic despite the chaos in the world. her zoom calls were sometimes hectic due to rachel, but she always tried her best
— when a patient told her they were going to ask chatgpt she thought that was just a weird nickname they had for a friend
— always up to date with fashion trends. her style is impeccable
— she has really nice phone cases. she has a leather one that doubles as a wallet and a pretty marble-patterned one
— the music she likes tends to surprise people. while her overall taste in music is to be expected (queen, amy winehouse, fleetwood mac, etc.) she enjoys current music as well. thanks to cameron, she got into charli xcx
— house found out she liked a post that implied she was sapphic and never let it go. whenever she’s nice to cameron he makes a rude comment and obnoxiously raises his eyebrows
— the barbie movie made her cry. she and cameron went to go see it and cameron had to awkwardly pat a sobbing cuddy on the shoulder as they left the theater
