i love every scene in s2 where someone mentions rehab or the topic of drugs and langdon's like 🙁☹️ like bro you're in a HOSPITAL you are going to encounter substance abuse not everyone is vagueposting about you 😭😭😭 let's take some deep breaths together

[godspeedpietro]

you know what i wanna see in season 3 of the pitt? i want to see a langdon that *desperately* wants to be friends with santos. i want him to realize that she’s hilarious, i want him to almost jump in on her jokes but hold himself back, i want to see him observing her gently caring for a patient, i want him to witness her generosity in action, and i want him to get visibly twitchy at balancing respecting her boundaries, and trying to be friends. i want him to see how similar they are before she does.

i want him to volunteer to take on cases with her and validate her choices. i want him to teach her the way he should have in season 1, and i want him to defend her when she makes a mistake. i want him to make a joke and look for her reaction, because he doesnt want her to hate him anymore. i want him to miss the friendship they could have had this whole time. i dont want him to grovel at her feet and follow her around like a lost puppy, but i want him to see that even now, in all her spite and anger - she is not his enemy, and she never was.

and i want santos to resist - at first. i want her to be agitated that he’s hovering over her, like he’s waiting for her to fuck up. i want her to question him, why he keeps watching her and sucking up to her. i want to see her question why he’s being so… strange. almost nice. maybe. i want to see her turning to whitaker, who shrugs and says that maybe he’s trying to make amends. i want her to turn to javadi, who says that she should just let him in and see what happens. she cant hold a grudge forever, after all. santos wants to argue, but she gets dragged away before she can bite back.

then, at the end of the day, when they’re worn out and tired and leaning against the wall in the ambulance bay, i want langdon to make a joke that santos laughs at. she’s delirious and tense, but she laughs a genuine laugh, and a mountain of tension drains from langdon’s shoulders. he tries to double down on the joke, but she tells him not to push it. she still smiles, though. a very small, exhausted, slightly agitated smile, but a smile nonetheless. langdon tells her that he’ll see her tomorrow, and santos just says “see ya” in response. langdon considers this a monumental win. santos groans dramatically and puts her head in her hands.

a few moments later, whitaker approaches and stands next to her. he asks if he can start being friends with langdon now. santos elbows him in the gut.

[la-pou-belle]

You know, I actually think it's a bad thing when a creator publicly engages with fan works (especially ship fan works.) There's just no realistic way for fan works, once a creator has immersed themselves in it, to not - even subconsciously - impact how a creator views their own story, characters, and to question how it's coming across or course correct.

While it's nice that many creators have become neutral or even supportive of fan works (like Noah Wyle... "You got the calves perfect"), everyone has a limit, somewhere maybe, where they get tired of seeing their intended nuances not come across perfectly to every single fan. Everyone (and their families and partners) also has a limit, somewhere, where they can't deal with strangers online headcanoning how your naked body looks. And indie authors have expressed this before: if a creator publicly interacts with fanmail or a fanwork that too-closely guesses an upcoming plotline, there's suddenly a potential issue of copyright and having to prove plagiarism didn't happen. (Imagine being handed a great potential plot point and knowing you now can't do anything with it!)

You can see most easily the toxicity that crops up when the boundary between creator and fan gets blurred, and how that really hurts the story being told, in smaller works like the webcomic OMG Check Please when the major antagonist's character arc got completely scrapped due to fan and creator interactions. Or you can look at any number of streamers in the MCYT ecosystem becoming uncomfortable - or extra profit driven - due to fan behavior around shipping, and that causing abrupt tone shifts in character dynamics. In a larger sense, many fans walked away from BBC Sherlock and later seasons of Supernatural with the feeling that the show runners were disgusted with shipping behaviors and their fanbase, and went out of their way to craft their stories to punish those fans.

Unless you're creating some kind of interactive fiction by design, it's simply NOT GOOD for the story, or the creators, or the fans, to switch up the core relationship between fans and creators. The creators are telling a story; that's very different from having a conversation! -- which is to say, I think creators are becoming way too comfortable going into fandom tags, and I think fans and interviewers should stop bugging writers and actors about fandom activities. (Seriously, just make an anonymous sock puppet account like the rest of us!)

I just. I feel like you can't have tunnel vision in watching this show. if you put robby in the vacuum of his relationship with samira, and only that, he seems like a worse person than he is. zoom out.

out of the med students, who did he like the most this season? it's pretty obvious the ranking was 1. victoria 2. joy 3. ogilvie. do the nurses feel comfortable around him? absolutely, he has a great last scene with donnie where he's understanding and sent him home to take care of his wife and kid, dana is one of his best friends and they make each other laugh no matter how much they fight, princess and perlah joke about him and with him and appear very comfortable with him.

he checks in on mel, throughout the season, he tries to support her. he pushes trinity to see the trauma counselor twice, advocates for her to baran, and they clearly are very comfortable around each other, joking around. he clearly cares about victoria, and very much believes in her, giving her an opportunity to do a cool procedure in front of her mom, urging her to not pass another opportunity up with the brain surgery stuff, fixing things after he got onto her. and while he got onto her, she was very comfortable standing up and talking back, which is notable.

in s1, he has a couple rocky moments with Heather, but overall, their relationship is great. they constantly check in on each other, asking if they're okay. he took over the abortion case for her when she raised concerns. he sent her home early when he found out about her miscarriage, urged her to rest, comforts her. there's trust there.

he listened to trinity over langdon, believes her and takes action, more than anybody else did that day. he praises her, and already likes her, again, more than anybody else did that day, where samira, frank, and even heather were all riding her. he never did that.

even the storyline with cassie gets overinflated, and you can see him trying to listen to her. she tells him that Theresa needs therapy, and he's kind of a dick to her face, but immediately after he goes and gets theresa an appointment with a psychologist upstairs. and his admittance that he was wrong, that he "did not think enough about those girls" was genuine. his later backslide, his "your mess. fix it." is not born out of "this is all your fault" but "I can't do this right now." the apology happened before pittfest, the backslide happened after. and again, such an important moment between them was Cassie telling Victoria she "learned from the best" and looking over at him.

there are seeeveral moments throughout the show where we get glimpses into what he's usually like, and better relationships. he's generally liked, generally trusted, his staff generally feel good around him and respect him. when people call for his help, he comes running. even the good moments he has with samira are erased, standing up for her against the drug-seeking patient, praising her during pittfest, backing her up to garcia. no, I don't think robby is a good boss to samira. I do think he tried to be.

and yk I do feel like it's noteworthy, the person Robby idolizes, looks up to the most, is/was Adamson. a black man.

Robby has biases, Robby needs to work on these biases, he also needs to become aware of them first. I'm not saying he doesn't have his issues, he has a fuck ton. thank god the pitt gets baran for at least a few months. but zoom out a little. so much conflict is overinflated because it's completely lacking of any context.

How it feels to genuinely enjoy the Pitt and not get caught up on every little bad thing a character has done because they’re all complex human beings and none of them are truly evil like everyone in this fandom seems to think

[be-the-glenn-to-my-maggie]

What I think is so so compelling about The Pitt, and is so gratifying in the fandom, is the empathy it forces you to have for every character while also forcing you to confront their flaws. We love Dr. Robby and we empathize greatly with his immense trauma, but we also can't accept how it makes him treat Dr. Mohan. Santos is completely valid in her dislike of Langdon and her disinterest in forgiving him, at the same time though it's clear her attitude is the real issue she has with her coworkers, and she finds it easier to blame him. Garcia is right to point out these issues to Santos, but she's also being incredibly hypocritical at the same time because she's also rude and confrontational and she's having an inappropriate relationship with Santos. Langdon is right he's been through a lot the last ten months, but none of that is appropriate to bring up in his apology to Santos. It's equally not fair of her to ask him to tell people his personal information. Like many people in the world, Ogilvie can't empathize with a situation unless he is in it or experiencing it, but once he does, it kinda seems to affect him a lot. Dr. Robby can't handle people confronting things within themselves that he isn't ready to handle in himself, and it makes him kind of drag them down to his level and it's been ugly to watch this season.

Anyways. Lots of things can be true at once, your perception affects your reality, and you can be valid but also not doing the right thing. I think we should all try to have the empathy for each other that we do for the characters on The Pitt.

[hackitoffman]

he will not be recovering from this.

based on @the-kaelish-prince's headcanon that ogilvie beats himself up if he doesn’t get the wordle in two (and that his starting word is AUDIO).

[rororoyourboatthefuckaway]

My hot take on the Pitt fandom is that people don’t know what to do with themselves when a show doesn’t have a villain
