I hate when fans say Robert Baratheon’s line about children fight in response to someone bringing up Aemond losing his eye like, children fighting is much different than a child being permanently injured and disabled in a fight
aemond literally tried to murder luke, he's lucky all he lost was an eye
it’s fucking wild that when it comes to langdon, who stole medication from patients, tampered with medication which endangers patients significantly, and abused his authority over a female subordinate to cover it all up, everyone is like “oh well, addiction is a disease you know” which it is, i’m not going to argue that it’s not cause it is. langdon deserved and deserves supports for his illness.
but when it comes to al-hashimi’s disability, all that sympathy is gone! suddenly y’all are worried about patient safety again. i wonder why!!
(it’s probably because langdon is an attractive white man. that’s probably why.)
i love the women of the pitt.....wish the writers did too......
The pitt’s writers are so radically uninterested in women’s stories and arcs it’s embarrassing.
They could put in a scene of langdon pissing but not samira crying after loosing 2 patients. His pain, humiliation, grief deserves to be explored, he gets to get solace that his patient hasn’t died, while we are left wondering what will happen to her.
Al-Hashimi’s 5 second lapses can effect critical care, but someone who INTENTIONALLY tampered with patient medication gets to come back. Therefore she deserved to be belittled.
Whitaker being the resident sage and guiding Javadi. Over people who actually have a relationship with her.
Santos, Mel, Samira,Mckay, Javadi sitting and doing clerical work for 2 episodes while langdon gets to be an ER Cowboy and tell off robby.
Samira on the other hand has been belittled the most by robby has her last scenes coddling him.
Santos’s self harm is never brought up again, and the only reason she has narrative weight is because she can be triangulated with two boring ass white men.
Mel, who was an amazing character is now only used for validating and uplifting langdon, along with her sister drama.
Mckay also had no storyline the whole season, and even ellis couldn’t be spared from codling langdon.
SAD 🔫🔫🔫
so baran gets yelled at by a guy who didn't trust her even BEFORE he knew there was an issue at all and robby gets a gentle talk about the beauty of life by his friend. they're having a direct parallel and i'm supposed to believe there isn't a problem here?
something something The Pitt Season 2's focus on a white man's mental health to the detriment of all the women of color around him being a mirror for the way U.S. healthcare uses white men as the standard of care despite it being detrimental to women/people of color something something
It's hard to not criticize Robby and this show's writing when characters who were wronged are constantly apologising to Robby after he belittles, patronizes dismisses them.
The mysoginistic undertones in his approach are not purposefully written so they are not rightfully called out.
And maybe they will never be - because if Baran saying that she trusts Robby and Samira apologizing to him taught me anything is that this character is some sort of self-insert by the writers
Many things I could caption this. Something something Robby making everything these two (woc) do about himself including their medical and personal issues down to his last conversation with them
Okay so when do we get The Pitt Director’s Cut where they haven’t cut all the women’s screentime???
like the thing that pisses me off most around the writing of the pitt is that there is such heavy-handed moralizing around hot button issues (re: violence against healthcare workers, ICE, the current administration, AI) but seems so oblivious to the issues around whiteness and patriarchy that undergird the hierarchy of the ED.
Absolutely fucking rich that Robby thinks Al-Hashimi can’t handle running the ED because she paused twice when working with kids. My brother in Christ you are on the killing myself world tour right now let’s self reflect maybe

Whitaker either should start charging the hospital for his chaplain's services, or they need to give him a little service animal vest
actually i will start crying again if I think about the fact that it really didn't take robby all that much to open up. that it really took just the slightest tap and he was breaking. duke really seeing him, fully acknowledging the severity of his shit, talking quiet, extending empathy, extending friendship and connection.
and it didn't take that fucking much. he didn't have to torture it out of Robby. he was just firm and kind. not beating around the bush like jack has done and not harsh like dana and not vague like cassie.
saying I see what you're doing. I know what you're thinking. are you sure?
and that's all it took to get a little more out of Robby. a moment of actual genuine vulnerability. a verbal admittance of how bad it's starting to get. how much he needs this hospital but how much it's killing him.
and it is partially because Robby is so tired, and it gets so hard. he's keeping up all his anger to mask the hurt but that's exhausting. and it's harder and harder to keep it back. so the second a listening ear is extended by someone who's been safe for him he's laying it out. oh Robby they could never make me hate you. what a deeply human character.
Yeah but, if those 3 people: one is/was dealing with his own thoughts of self-harm (and PTSD), one is also dealing with burnout and PTSD, and the third is a recovered addict. McKay's also a subordinate, and both she and Dana are women, whose opinions we've seen Robby is much more likely to dismiss.
Dr. Caleb is a mental health professional who approached Robby with empathy, kindness and connection TWICE earlier in the day asking for Robby to take a moment to talk with him, and Caleb only calls him out after he overhears the "higher place to jump comment". (He's also on his 3rd therapist referral, which Robby also dismisses until after his trip!)
Duke is pretty much a fully Team Robbie blank skate, with no complex character traits or feelings, so yes, it's easy to write him as The One. But that's because he hasn't had to be in an environment or relationship where he is continuously dismissed, ignored or verbally abused by Robby like the others.
You can care about someone, even love them, and want to help them, but also recognize their behavior suuuuuuuucks. And it's not a failure of someone who's been hurt if they don't want to or feel capable of continuing to engage with that person.
(I was also thinking about empathy vs sympathy after last week, because someone claimed that Santos let her "empathy mask slip" with the orange lady. But no, because Santos is incredibly empathetic, but not always sympathetic. You can empathize with someone while also recognizing that they are wrong, or are acting poorly.)
They barely will have to do anything to get Robby into BH 1. Just have any female coworker stand by the door and when he inevitably comes to yell at her they can just shove him in.
trinity santos is a study in fandom misogyny because they gave her all the characteristics fandoms usually salivate for in men, being gruff, quippy and misunderstood with a tragic backstory but a heart of gold beneath it all. they put all this into her AND let her be a lesbian. she's everything you could ever want in a character but she's not a man so half the fandom either hates her or constantly mischaracterizes her as petty, callous and aggressive while doing mental gymnastics to baby the male characters around her
