I think the apple’s rotten right to the core
#the pitt#the pitt fanart#samira mohan#frank langdon#the pitt s1 spoilers#the pitt s2 spoilers#langhan#technically i am only at early s2 but i got spoiled about robby's samira crashout in s2e10#though i was already deeply unwell about their dynamic regardless#i need samira and frank to link up and maximize their joint father thinks im unfit to reign slay#the different ways that these two approach their respective doomed relationships with robby is so fascinating to compare and contrast#their now shared position as his eldest students means they both by design seek/need his approval#but the acute similarities they have with him (samira's hyperempathy and frank's dysfunctional coping) mean he's incapable of giving it#and where frank approaches this via denial and doggedly chasing after him#samira approaches it via resignation and maintaining a wall between them#robby also responds to them in inverse by avoidantly pulling away from frank vs aggressively pushing on samira#because the fundamental issue isn't really either of their dispositions towards him#it's his complete inability to look inwards and address his own baggage#and by extension how he sees that baggage reflect in the two of them#michael robinavitch how you piss me off (said with pleasure)#anyway assignment for this piece is to listen to both the original + japanese house remix of apple by charlixcx#samiras got the original and franks got the remix#samirarobby thesis: feels like you never understand me so i just wanna drive#frankrobby thesis: i keep trying not to think about you but i seem to think about you all the time#MOST IMPORTANTLY samirafrankrobby thesis: ive been looking at you so long now i only see me
