I've never believed in "You don't choose the ship, the ship chooses you" until Kingdon came my way

#I don't even really watch the show!#It will never be canon! Actors and writers hate it!#One of them is married with children!#It's situated in a narrative frame I don't like (a season for a day)!#I've been shipping characters for damn close to 30 years and this has never happened to me before #I didn't even want to! But now I can't let it go!#Like a lightning bolt from a clear sky it hit me #Wtf man #Shipping #Kingdon

frank langdon blasting kelly clarkson on his way home from his shift….

ends the night crying in the driveway to breakaway

I really don't want you to leave either.

#The way she mumbles the last part and can't look at him anymore...!#Not used to being vulnerable and expressing what she needs #Frank is harder to read here #A bit of surprise and a bit of empathy #Realizing that she wants someone to be there for her #Someone to rely on #Realizing that he is needed in the Pitt - that there are people there whom he could help; good things he could do #And I also see a bit of 'Man... you really like me huh'#The Pitt #Kingdon

yall gotta learn the difference between "this character is an asshole" and "this character was supposed to be super cool but the author is an asshole" and "this character is a teenage girl who was mean once"

How funny would it be if it turns out Samira in s3 was just. upstairs in geriatrics.

Santos tells people wondering where Dr. Mohan went that she 'tragically left us' then she gets a call 30 minutes later and it's Samira yelling 'QUIT TELLING EVERYONE I DIED.'

#There are several reasons why I won't get fully into this show #One is the format - I hate large timeskips #Another is the real possibility of characters suddenly disappearing #A third is the pace of personal arcs... etc #It's like this show actively discourages you from caring about the very heart of it - the characters #So I love this idea of people simply returning after being gone for a day/season!#Sadly I don't believe it though #The Pitt Spoilers

the break room scene did such a good job at showing langdon and mel's different personalities while also showing why they work together so well. like of course he talks about nietzsche when she was actually quoting kelly clarkson, that's just so them

#They are different and so similar at the same time #See: being great doctors who care a lot and are history nerds #The mixture is intoxicating in a way I can't describe #The Pitt #Kingdon

I was really scared. Thank you.

#'Mel was right... I am an okay doctor...'#'You see? Other people appreciate you as well!'#Having each other's back always #They won't be romantically canon but damn if there isn't a deep emotional bond between them already #If not to say codependent - I can see them relying on and downright needing each other emotionally in the future #I don't even go there but it's SUCH a good ship!!#Kingdon #The Pitt

Love how Mel can just sense something is off with Langdon it’s not just one sided but they both can sense it in each other and I think that’s beautiful.

#!!!#Yes!#If he was being something like her mentor I would like it too - but they are so much more for each other!#They sense when the other is low and find exactly the right thing to say to console them!#Everything about them is so mutual I love it #The Pitt #Kingdon

#The way he looks at her during that scene...!#Open - directly - focused #He hangs on her every word #Fully believes her #You can see that hearing these things from her means so much to him!!#Frank isn't just amused by Mel or flattered by her attention - he respects her and cares deeply about her opinion #After having known each other for 2 days!#Amazing #The Pitt #Kingdon

Shawn Hatosy as Dr. Jack Abbot The Pitt | Season 2 Episode 8

#Yes he's extremely hot #But I'm a bit... taken aback by the way this fandom sometimes talks about him #You guys make me feel old myself!#That man is 50! He's not geriatric! It's not unusual or somehow weird to find him attractive!#(except if you're a teenager I guess)#He's the same age as Pedro Pascal and 11 years younger than Keanu Reeves!#Some of you really don't know what it means to thirst over old men smh my head #Anyway he's hot af and I very much like to have this marvelous gifset on my blog #The Pitt #Dr Jack Abbot

i gotta be honest every time patrick ball or taylor dearden come out with the “i see them as platonic because we need more m/f friendships in tv shows” line in an interview i do petulantly start shipping them harder <3 sorry you won’t get me there’s at least 4 other examples of m/f friendships that have no romantic implications on that show alone <3 i think it’s fine if you let fans just enjoy this one <3333

#I honestly hate this suggestion of 'we need more m/f friendships in media'#Have you guys never watched an ensemble show?? There are far more m/f friendships than romances!!#I feel like in 90% of cases this argument is used if you simply dislike a ship #(friends-to-lovers is one of my favourite tropes ever which makes this current media trend especially tiring for me)#Also #In general I've learned to ignore what actors say about the show they work in - ESPECIALLY when it comes to shipping #They are paid to say what production wants them to; it's part of their job #I've been relentlessly teased by actors for a ship to happen because production wanted the viewers - then it never happened #I've been told by an actor that my OTP is weird and will never happen #(which was done to tamper canon expectations of course)#And I've been told by an actor that my interpretation of a character is wrong #An actor isn't a writer and neither should have a place in fandoms #I don't blame them - but they don't have any power here #Fandoms #Shipping #Kingdon

I can count on one hand the number of things we know Frank and Mel like canonly. Not things about who they are, but their interests. Why did the show go out of their way to establish that they have common dorky interests?

why

#Baffling #Mel and Frank are already surprisingly close - how will/would they react when/if they found out about this...?#Makes me want to pull out my hair - but in a chill way #I don't even go there... and you can't make me!#The Pitt #Kingdon
