okay dana said what needed to be said. i know itll come off as mean to a lot of people but its something a lot of healthcare workers need to understand. the hospital will not give a fuck about you. it will move on. it does not matter how good and perfect you are and how little you complain and if you work until you are blue in the lips. it will survive without you and you wont get thanked 9/10 times either
"it's crazy that everyone on the Pitt has had an insane first day!" My first day in the ER had a very horrific murder victim. A travel nurse I didn't know had their very first shift in the ER and a psych patient bit off a part of their finger and then spit it back at them. I fear trauma centers are just Like That
no I'm still mad about the Samira thing. I KNOW she's meant to be a reflection of Robbie and the entire point is that he's spiraling and actually being very nasty to himself but I fear it hits way too close to home for me since the medical field is a very very VERY misogynistic place still.
Like I cannot state enough that I KNOW it's the mental health crisis and I've been in dark places where I'm a horrible wretch, but it's very uncomfortable watching a white man in a position of power do this to his younger WOC coworker/student.
one of the reasons I struggle to watch medical shows is because of this. it's a deliberate part of the show, yeah, but I've been in the medical field for 5 years now and in the ER for a good chunk of that. One thing I NEVER allowed was those arrogant male nurses/doctors to talk down to me or my girls (because it was always women).
Which is a good time to remind y'all to NEVER let yourself be treated like this. I do not care if it's your boss, you do not let yourself get treated like that and you sure as fuck should stand up for someone if you see it happening to them.
so obviously lyonel's mommy's favorite comment was due to baelor being more visibly dornish and the whole thing that comes with that but do you guys think on top of that he WAS actually mommy's favorite.
her first born who looked so much like her and the people of her homeland, who she taught about their traditions and gods and rivers before he was old enough to stray more towards the duty of being the targaryen heir and the faith of the seven that's embedded itself into westeros.
do you think sometimes he recounts things his mother taught him or shared with him and maekar, the fourth son after the favorite and the difficult one and the mentally unwell one, the one who looks most like a targaryen out of all of them, thinks about the fact that for as loving as his mother was he was never told any of these things
something I think y'all are missing out on when talking about the "Targaryens still have dragons" AU is the absolutely wonderful idea of Dunk somehow ending up with one
Also is anyone ever going to address Duncan's very complicated and abusive but loving relationship with Arlan, how he tries not to repeat it with Egg, and also how that ties into how willing he is to literally and metaphorically get on his knees for older men/men in higher standing than him or are we just going to ignore that
okay y'all, we gotta have a talk about Baelor real quick
I love that stupid old man. I want that cookie BAD. but we have to talk about the way he's getting very... sanitized? softened? made more palatable?
LET THAT DILF BE FLAWED
Lyonel absolutely had a valid point about what he said. Raymun did also! We gotta be a little realistic here, just a pinch: I do not think Baelor would have cared that much about the puppet thing if it hadn't shifted to the whole Dunk getting involved. We've seen in multiple series now that the Targaryens, even the good ones, don't really gaf about the smallfolk. The only Targaryen I can think off the top of my head who ever actually, genuinely cared about the smallfolk was Alysanne. (obligatory "I do not know all of the Targaryens" message here)
Y'all think Baelor isn't aware of how Aerion is? He's the Hand of the King and absolutely could have stepped in, Maekar be damned, but he obviously hasn't other than being mildly annoyed. This isn't magically the first time he's seen what Aerion is. He's done nothing to curb that behavior even though he has that authority. It's only when it elevated to actually affecting him, when Dunk stepped in and forced him to actually look at things, that he acted.
Which is the whole point of Dunk as a character, reminding them that knights stand for the innocent and that that has been lost to time. As my friend put it, "Baelor cared bc someone else did first. He would have done nothing if Dunk hadn’t been the one to step up."
"The only thing that could tear down the House of the Dragon was itself." Also applies to moments like these, not just when they're at war.
