I'm not saying is likely but I just want people to know that I haven't entirely ruled out the possibility that Mary is still alive and in like witness protection or something.
Like I'm not sure it would even really make sense seeing as the sign of four is either in custody or dead but still.
I’ve been watching the Pitt recently (UK so only 7 episodes of season 2 so far) and I’ve found it really interesting watching how Ogilvie has been received online.
People HATE this guy.
And I’m not disagreeing I think he has a lot of negative traits that make him an unlikeable character.
BUT a lot of those traits come from him being a very neurodivergent coded character (I’d say autistic but it’s open to interpretation).
For example, the way he tells Whitaker about Louie’s death is very abrasive and cold, he doesn’t seem to understand why this death might be a shock or be painful to anyone because from his perspective it’s a logical progression of events - that’s a very autistic perspective.
And I’m definitely not excusing that because he will need to learn how to be more empathetic, not only because he wants to be a doctor but also just as a human being.
I just find it interesting that his very obvious (imo) neurodivergent traits are ignored because he’s not a palatable character.
It’s a classic staple of fandom culture to only pay attention to characters who are ‘different’ (e.g. neurodiverse, drug addicts etc.) if the character is otherwise palatable or the ‘difference’ is in a way that the viewers find endearing.
I feel like a lot of people are talking about how you need to understand the complexities of characters like Robby, Santos, and Langdon but Ogilvie is treated in a very black and white way.
I’m not saying people have to like him it’s just something I’ve been thinking about.
Just found out Taylor Dearden (Mel on The Pitt) thinks she’s aroace.
Made my year.
(Okay I’ve done some digging since posting this and actually Taylor was talking about Mel as a character but I’m still thrilled that aroace spec characters are being thought about)
“Is this romantic attraction OR am I just projecting again because I really want to experience romantic attraction and this guy is nice and sweet and you like him as a friend so why wouldn’t this be romantic attraction? That’s how this works right? Why can’t people be more clear about what romantic attraction feels like? ‘you get butterflies’ okay? I get those when I read a good book? This isn’t helpful.”

Worlds biggest fuck you to the person I just saw posting a petition to CHANGE YELENAS CANON IDENTITY FROM AROACE TO A LESBIAN AS ITS “more realistic” AND “aroaces don’t do anything”
Hey, that’s more than just shipping her. That’s erasure all the way down. That’s aphobic. No excuses for you or anyone who signs that petition, get off my blog.
Just finished the call the midwife season 15 finale so spoilers for that below
“I can hold babies everyday. Love them, everyday.”
“And that won’t hurt you?”
“Not now. Because I know the things I dreamed of weren’t meant for me.”
This actually gutted me.
I think those lines will genuinely haunt me.
Because although my situation is nothing like hers, I want a child so badly it hurts and I’ve spent the last couple of years trying to reconcile with the fact that I probably won’t ever have one.
And I’ve picked a future profession where I can spend time with children that won’t ever be mine.
Just so I can get close to it.
I don’t normally post personal stuff like this but I don’t know where else I can say it and I feel like I need to.
I will probably remove this post at some point but for now it can stay.
On a separate note I was SO ready for Beryl and Geoffrey to be a lavender marriage.
I've recently started playing Stardew Valley so I am going to drop my sexuality (and pronoun/ gender identity) headcanons.
I'm aware all bachelors and bachelorettes are bi-spec and I will take this into account.
For now I'm just doing dateable characters I might do the rest another time idk.
Alex:
Cis male - He/Him,
Bisexual (preference for women)/ Demi-sexual/ Alloromantic
I don't have any strong opinions on Alex but I think him and Hayley make a sweet couple.
Abigail:
Cis female - She/They
Bisexual (preference for women)/ Allosexual/ Alloromantic
My wife (soon I promise). Her and Sebastian is stupid we ALL know who Sebastian should end up with but I'll get to that later.
Elliot:
Non-binary - They/Them
Pansexual (no preference)/ Allosexual/ Alloromantic
I've seen mixed opinions on Elliot but I think they're alright. Diva. Elliot and Leah seems like an okay pairing I guess but I see them more as friends.
Emily:
Trans female - She/Her
Bisexual (no preference)/ Allosexual/ Alloromantic
Her and Shane being paired at flower dances is definitely not a romantic thing imo. She's a cutie I'm not sure who I'd choose to pair her with. Maybe Penny?
Harvey:
Trans male - He/Him
Bisexual (no preference)/ Graysexual/ Alloromantic
I love doctors. Him and Maru being a pairing is fine I guess I have no strong opinions on it, they're cute. I can maybe see him with Leah but I don't know.
Hayley:
Cis female - She/Her
Pansexual (no preference)/ Allosexual/ Alloromantic
She's kind of evil but I still love her. Very much behind her and Alex as a pairing I think they're cute.
Sam:
Cis male - He/Him
Bisexual (no preference)/ Allosexual/ Demi-romantic
SAM AND SEBASTIAN OBVIOUSLY. WE ALL KNOW THIS. IT'S SO OBVIOUS. Him and Penny would be a perfectly good couple if Sebastian wasn't standing RIGHT THERE.
Leah:
Cis female - She/Her
Bisexual (preference for women)/ Allosexual/ Alloromantic
Cutie. As I said I don't hate her and Elliot as a cute artsy couple. Could kind of see her with most of the other characters (excluding Sebastian, Sam, Shane and Alex - it was at this point that I decided to change Leah from 'no preference' to 'preference for women').
Sebastian:
Trans male - He/They
Bisexual (preference for men)/ Demi-sexual/ Demi-romantic
I refer you to Sams paragraph. The preference for men is heavy btw.
Maru:
Trans female - She/Her
Bisexual (no preference)/ Allosexual/ Alloromantic
I was going to make her cis but then I realised I could have T4T kids and a T4T couple in Harvey and Maru which is just cooler. Not much to say on Maru tbh but I still love her. Women in STEM <3.
Shane:
Cis Male - He/Him
Bisexual (no preference)/ Graysexual/ Grayromantic
He's kind of evil. I don't know why people glaze this guy. Feel sorry for him though. Sad guy. Doesn't mean he needs to be evil but still. I don't know who this guy would end up with but it will NOT be me.
Penny:
Cis Female - She/Her
Bisexual (no preference)/ Asexual/ Demi-romantic
Shy little library girl. Her and Sam would be fine (in a world without Sebastian). If I was going to eradicate the whole Sebastian and Sam thing I can actually see her more with Sebastian. Her and Harvey could also be cute. Or Emily maybe.
EDIT: Just occurred to me that I could have wuhluhwuh with Maru and Abigail. Awesome.
