I love how normal the fool is about fitz despite being extremely in romo and homo with him. insane levels of chill being able to exist in the same room without spontaneously combusting or having a giant meltdown. anyway remember when amber carved paragon to look like the love of her life and got completely fucking irate that his eyes came out blue

imagine having your own personal hater who's been assigned to you by fate and he is a tiny little clown who won't stop following you around and yammering about your imminent demise and worst of all you love him dearly

I think it's funny that for as much as people accuse Beloved of being in gay relationships with people, no one ever accuses (different from assumes) Beloved of being in a straight relationship. Like. Its always "Lord Golden Likes Men!" Or " Althea are you fucking Amber". My prophet is genderfluid but you will never catch Beloved acting straight

with the exception on fitz accusing him of sleeping with everyone woman he talks to. homosexual homophobic heterophobia is another fitzchivalry special.

To me, one of the most intriguing undercurrents to Whitaker's arc this season has been about his feelings of alienation, emasculation, and inability to connect with the other men in the department. Javadi calls him an astrology-girlie. The betting boys club mock him and visibly look down on him. He very awkwardly compliments Robby on his motorcycle . Langdon teases him about the med student badge and then gets in his face about the librium faux-pas, physically intimidating him. Ogilve doesn't take him seriously until the very end, Park the Shark calls him an idiot, Joy loudly outs him as having been unhoused in front of the entire department.

And it is both very telling and very interesting that his final straw is Langdon openly mocking his masculinity, the back-handed compliment of stating Whitaker doesn't seem like a gym guy, starting to make what was obviously going to be a crude and inappropriately derisive joke about his sex life. And I don't think Langdon is intending to be as mean spirited or triggering as Whitaker is perceiving it--he has had moments of trying to be a genuinely good teacher to him, being helpful and kind. But still, he has been condescending and patronizing all day, forcing a familiarity and power dynamic to their non-existent relationship that Whitaker is very clearly not okay or comfortable with at all. And exhausted from this shift, stressed about his badge and the shitty old lady and Amy and money, Whitaker has completely lost his ability to swallow it all down. And so for the first time that day, maybe ever, he asserts a firm boundary and stands up for himself.

And crucially this is the first time, too, we see Langdon take in a boundary, hear it, receive it, and respect it. He apologizes, genuinely, and doesn't deflect or defend or respond with hostility. And when Whitaker feels bad, second-guesses himself and start to backtrack, Langdon says--hey, no. You were right. It's okay. It's a huge moment of growth for them both, and the fact that they really hardly know each other is exactly what is critical to allowing so much development.

baran is the strongest character we’ve seen in this show hands down, in my opinion

in the present, she’s managing emotional stress from cutting into children and comforting crying families. she’s managing seizures and the additional physical and mental toll that takes.

she’s managing a coworker who she’s smart enough to realize has internalized issues that he’s taking out on her, and she manages to placate him; make him feel seen by showing him her chart so he knows the ED is in good hands, and saying she respects him. she can do that while still standing up for herself, her students, and her patients.

she’s a mother taking on a very taxing new position where multiple staff members don’t trust her or even want her there.

in the past, she developed a devastating infection and from it lifelong symptoms: recurrent seizures which are likely still somewhat of a mystery to her as they are for many people with neurological disorders. she suffered trauma helping hopeful refugees and injured civilians in the middle of a war (many of which were pregnant women).

and she’s still somehow not only a functioning adult, but a beautiful human being with a happy child, a chief attending position, and the most patient and compassionate personality i’ve ever seen on tv

i have no words, i just love her so much
