rip House you'd have loved coughing on people in the COVID 19 pandemic
"I need you to live even if it means you never forgive me for this" is very much house and stacy coded
thinking about the parallels between wilson and stacy regarding their relationship to house and their relationship to food (bear with me)
house bringing stacy a coffee with no sugar, because she liked the taste of sharp and bitter when they were together. house is assuming she still appreciates his bitterness. he thinks she’s still in love with him. stacy says she likes sugar now; she’s developed a taste for sweetness since being with mark. they are both strong coffee, but with different profiles. a sarcastic, aggressive doctor versus a (still snarky) kind-hearted teacher. stacy chooses mark in the end. she likes the sweetness.
when house comes back from prison, he offers wilson a sandwich as a peace offering. he remembers that wilson likes cold cuts. meat. he doesn’t anymore. he’s vegetarian. he’s abandoned the savage nature of carnivorous tendencies. he’s abandoned this in favor of what he perceives as gentleness towards animals. he is an animal himself, after all. after getting punched, house offers to go with wilson to a vegetarian place (“do you want this gentleness from me?”) and wilson refuses. he wants the aggression, he wants to eat meat* that comes with being friends with house again. no matter how gentle he tries to be, he will always be a carnivore
*double entendre i guess
This exchange between House and Stacy in Hunting says so much to me about the breakdown of their relationship:
Stacy: Okay, I blow my smoke into the vents so Mark doesn't know.
House: I always knew.
Stacy: Bluffing!
House: You started two weeks after my surgery. Menthols, then lights after a month.
Stacy: Why didn't you say anything?
House: 'Cause it helped me monitor your misery level. One trip outside was a good day, upwards of six you were in hell.
Stacy: You could have asked me how I was!
House: I already knew. Sorry you were miserable.
Stacy: Sorry I caused you so much pain.
Stacy’s “You could have asked me how I was!” says so much to me—House knew Stacy was miserable, probably felt some level of guilt, but he never actually made the effort to show it. He could have easily asked her how she was, even though he knew the answer—because it’s not really about the person asking the question, is it? It’s about letting the other person know you care. And House just couldn’t do that for Stacy.
Something so poetic about Stacy being the only one to call House "Greg".
Not only among the other people in his life he was close with, but also among all of the love interests he has ever had in the show.
Like if Stacy was the last one who really knew the "happy" version of House — Greg — pre-infaction, less misanthropic, much less miserable and much more capable of being vulnerable, of showing love and affection.
It honestly breaks my heart 💔
p.s. this reminded of Cuddy's mom telling her "And why do you call him House? Man has a name!" lmao
