I’d like to start this off by saying that I am a fan of Danhausen. He was the first wrestler I liked and the whole reason why I’m into wrestling today.
With that said, it’s incredibly disheartening and utterly confusing that it’s been basically 6 weeks now since Danhausen has ‘debuted’ (quotations because to me a debut is actually getting in that squared-circle and participating in a match), and the only time we’ve seen him in that ring is during commercial breaks and to promote his fucking merch. And it’s even crazier that we’re seeing more of these backstage segments from him than actual wrestling content. WWE has had the stupidest people wrestle in their company, fucking Jelly Roll had a damn match the other night, but Danhausen still has not gotten a match.
There are justifications in my head like, maybe they’re building up to something really big? Perhaps his first match will be at WrestleMania or something (crazy as hell if so), or something along those lines that all this waiting is for something bigger.
Another justification comes in mind, that perhaps there is some secret injury that none of his fans know about that is preventing him from wrestling, because that’s why there was such a big gap between his debut in AEW and his first match in AEW. He had broken his leg and was in the midst of recovery, but as far as I know, the man has no broken leg and his torn pec has gotten back together! I understand his wife recently had a kid, but does the daily duties of fatherhood prevent you from wrestling as well?
Yet, even with those justifications in mind, it’s still absolutely bizarre to me that it’s been technically over a month!! since he’s come to this company and has yet to wrestle, and I’ve had this conversation with another Danhausen fan and pointing the finger of who is responsible for this is really conflicting.
A part of me would just really like to blame WWE; it’s soooo easy and lets me coddle and hold my favorite wrestler of all time while trying to protect him from the evil bald man terrorizing people with hair. The company is very strange with their time frames when it comes to letting new people wrestling, I mean NXT seems to be a promotion version of the Jericho Vortex because very few people in this present day have been have to claw their way onto the main stage (only to get let go soon after (cough cough we still think about you Indi Hartwell dw)). They love doing that to former-AEW people, I mean they haven’t even let Hobbs (Royce Keys) touch that NXT floor they’ve been preoccupied with ‘training him’. But in those cases (other than Hobbs (sorry king)), a lot of these wrestlers have been able to get in that ring pretty soon after appearing on TV. For Ricky Starks it was only 2 weeks, Ethan Page 2 weeks, Maraiah May ONE WEEK! And let’s compare that to, oh yeah DANHAUSEN’S 6!! And I really don’t think we’re going to see a match from him anytime soon (I’m praying I’ll eat these words), because they do not seem to be giving any hope.
But then, the finger begins to sway, and my hand is unfortunately targeted at Danhausen… specifically Donovan. I've sorta been blind to it for very long (perhaps just my love for him), but he is incredibly shameless when it comes to asking for money — so much so he made that a damn personality trait for his gimmick. Part of me is so baffled by the idea of taking this ‘top star’ salary and understanding (I’m assuming), that the only time you’re going to get out onto that stage is to promote your fucking t-shirts, and I can never ever see any sensible wrestler who loved their job deciding to take that deal… but then you kinda notice patterns. It’s those shameless asking for money patterns that make me wonder if Danhausen understands that he’s no longer a wrestler and instead this little dancing monkey for the company — and I wonder if he’s happy and content with that decision.
It’s just genuinely incredibly upsetting to see a man who made me fall in love with the SPORT of wrestling, whose style I admire, whose creativity I admire, to be reduced to this fucking caricature of himself. I want to know what happened at AEW, why there seemed to be no insider reports of Tony holding out for him or even the other way around. I just want to know why my favorite wrestler isn’t a wrestler anymore.
And I want to be completely clear and honest that I hope this big ass post ages horribly. I hope that on Monday it’s revealed Danhausen has some kind of match against literally anyone — hell it could be against fucking jelly roll at this point (please don’t do that to me). I want to be proven wrong, but for right now I’m just incredibly disappointed and dejected to see this crumpling of a character I used to love and admire.
Thought it would be fun to post little snippets for this fic i'm working on!! idk to give you guys a little taste!! OoOoOoO (the fic is spicy whoops) (also we all have glove kinks)
Chapter 1: Gin and Tonic Gossip Nights
(little prologue situation you could say)
No one said anything…for what felt like forever. Embarrassment was wriggling through the group, and shame was filling them quickly, struck with the realization that they were disturbing people.
“Are we fucked up?” Mel asked.
“No,” said Trinity.
“Absolutely,” Whitaker said at the same time as his roommate.
Trinity shot him a look and he jerked his head sideways.
“What!?” he asked. “We are doctors, Trin!” he argued. “We can’t be finding doctor shit hot! We know how doctor shit goes! It’s not something to find attractive!”
“But it’s so attractive,” Samira complained, falling on her back again, landing with an ‘oof’ bouncing a bit off the cushions.
Mel had let go of Javadi’s hands by now and they were now covering her face in embarrassment. “This is so embarrassing,” she whimpered, falling back against the couch. The cushions were practically eating her, she was leaning back so far.
Chapter 2: Gosh Darn Doctor Voice
(Melangdon, 'doctor voice' kink I don't know how to describe that HA (also affair pilling, I know some people don't like that so telling ya now!1))
Mel’s face flushed and her eyes immediately made contact with Langdon’s hands. He also looked down at his hands, but the sight of them caused a laugh to fall from his lips before he took the blue gloves off. “Whoops,” he mumbled, but all Mel could pay attention to was the way the gloves almost took his wedding ring off with them.
He turned his head over to her. “Did you notice? How come you didn’t tell me?”
Her breath grew short as he flexed his fingers, like the gloves had been constraining them and he needed to stretch them out. Her mouth had gone dry. She could not be this obsessed with his hands… That had to be unhealthy.
His eyebrow curled up in questioning. “What? Something on them?” He turned his hands so he could look at them all over and Mel thought she was going to pass out.
She clutched her iPad close to her chest. “Sorry, I have to discharge a patient.” Mel wondered if she could sniff out where Whitaker went so that she could kill him with her iPad.
“Oh, can I come?” he asked, already following behind her.
Mel’s head whipped around and her heart broke. “No, I’m fine!” She didn’t even say thank you! She had to squeeze her eyes tightly shut to prevent herself from looking behind her and seeing whatever saddened face he was wearing now.
Chapter 3: Be Mean I Need It.
(Garsantos, degradation? slapping kink)
Garcia had already come into the room pissed; the patient had been screaming non-stop and no amount of morphine the paramedics administered seemed to be enough. So when Garcia barked to push more, and Santos fully stepped all her weight onto the surgeon’s foot, a fire erupted.
“Jesus!?” She yelped and backed away from the resident with anger in her eyes. “Fuck — Santos, space.”
“Sorry, Doctor.” She bit her lip to try and hide her smile.
It was kind of impressive how many times she stepped on her foot before she finally snapped, Trinity was keeping a score.
The reactions were slowly building with intensity; Starting with a simple hiss of her name, and then a ‘watch it’, and then a ‘Santos you need to have spatial awareness, alright?’ Trinity felt her heart jump with every scold, she pointedly ignored the questioning stares from Robby every time he poked into the room and heard Garcia hissing at her like an angry cat. She ignored how this was probably very awkward for the nurses and the other resident working with them while they kept vitals stable and re-binded the man’s pelvis, all while Trinity pretended like she was a newly found blind woman.
She was also completely indulging in the confused glare from Garcia after every misstep, because Trinity Santos did not misstep. It’s like she knew something was up, but was too frustrated to even say anything, and it made Trinity’s body ignite with flames hot enough to burn down the whole damn hospital.
Chapter 4: Play Dentist With Me?
(Hucklerabbot, oral fixation kink you could say?) (You guys get two snippets cuz dennis unfortunately has 2 hands)
A smile broke out, pinching at his cheeks. There was an ache in his mouth though, a heavy weight on his tongue. He wanted the words to float out of his mouth, felt they would despite his brain’s insistence to keep quiet, he gritted his teeth together. A hum spilled out of his throat instead. “I love you.”
The attending’s face scrunched up in a smile. “I love you more.” He leaned in, and Dennis knew what he wanted to do despite his stuttering stop — he could almost feel his lips pressing against his temple and his beard tickling the side of his face. “Me and Jack are off Thursday, what about you?” He began to detach from the intern.
-----
Dennis cupped his own face, trying to keep in the warmth which Jack’s hand had lent him. His heart fluttered at the sweetness of the gesture. “I appreciate that.” And evil thought ticked at his mind, and very evil words began to flutter off his tongue. “I think that… my jaw must’ve… overextended.”
There was a subtle change in his tone, a subtle shift in the air between him and Abbot that caused the older man to raise his eyebrows.
“Overextended, huh?”
Dennis hummed an agreeing reply.
“Well… guess you gotta be gentle with it now, don’t cha’?”
Jack’s reply made Dennis’ jaw drop in shock. He pushed Jack while his stomach twisted playfully. “Me? What!?” He struggled out.
Chapter 5: I’m Feeling Sick *Cough Cough*
(Mcvadi, mommy/mckay taking care of victoria kink HA)
Her mind raced with all sorts of fantasies. She had never ever been one to find it hot to do things in the hospital — this is where she worked! And there were dead people, basically everywhere! She did not want to get it on with her girlfriend while MeeMaw with C.diff stared at them through the windows! It was just not appealing.
But, this was the game they were playing.
Victoria liked it when Cassie was… well Trinity liked to say ‘motherly’, but that just made her uncomfortable. It wasn’t when Cassie was ‘motherly’, she just appreciated it when Cassie would take care of her! When she took care of people in general! It was a very sweet trait of hers, and it warmed Victoria’s heart whenever she saw the resident being sweeter to her patients than most would.
So is that what she would have to do? Try to get Cassie to take care of her?
Her chest started to feel warm again — a flicker of a flame tickling her heart and sending a vibrating sensation down her veins and through her arteries. Memories skipped through her mind of the simple things that the older woman would do that just drove Victoria insane. That one time she buckled her seatbelt for her, that other time she held her hand out for Victoria to grab so she didn’t swan dive out of Cassie’s weirdly tall truck. The several times when babysitting Harrison that Victoria would fall asleep and she’d wake up with a blanket wrapped around her body and tea whistling on the stove.
Knots flew around her stomach, knocking against her lining and causing a wave of needy induced nausea to crash over her.
Chapter 6: You’re Doing So Good
(Mowalsh, voyeurism? I would classify this as voyeurism)
I have nothing for them at the moment :( I'm working on the mcvadi one now so these pretty ladies have got to wait a bit longer lol!!
started when samira worked a particularly rough night shift (pre-mci) and the gang went to dennys to destress. the two bonded over their niche and nerdy interests
the two always enjoyed it when they were on the same shift. emery liked how empathic and focused samira was and samira liked emery’s straightfowardness but also her ability to read a situation and respond accordingly
after the shift, the two would go to dennys and js talk :) soon they became friends even if they seldom saw each other
emery was mad during the mci bc abbot was taking advantage of samira and she could tell that samira was rlly scared
samira has mixed feelings abt the mci. she’s proud of herself for doing it, but the fact that abbot was using her as a shield and the ramifications of if smth went wrong still plague her mind
emery texted her an apology later that evening for being rude and said that she didn’t mean to imply that she wasn’t skilled enough to do the procedure (samira accepted the apology)
more soon? i have sm backstory hcs for emery and samira
2!?! TWO?!!! This is worse than the 13 Shelly/Gordon fics, FAR WORSE!!! Guys more people need be watching stupid movies and falling in love with the stupid ships in those stupid movies because WHAT!!!
My theory is that Garcia is mentally fucked up after having to amputate that cellulitis patient’s leg, especially after Robby did his whole ER cowboy thing, and that her trying to “rain check” Santos is not a reflection about her own feelings for Santos (see all of the episodes from earlier in which she’s yapping about Santos nonstop), but rather a reflection of her own difficult day.
Instead of bringing Santos closer, she’s trying to isolate herself to deal with the day on her own. Or, perhaps, the OR team is staying late.
I can’t imagine it’s all rainbows & sunshine in the OR after a limb amputation and the diverted traffic from Westbridge.
One of my favorite ships # should've been endgame. Look at what happens with two pure of heart individuals get together, they become the cutest dream team in the world.
Twin peaks posting, and I'm not finished with the series, but I wish we had gotten to see more of Bobby and Audrey before she was whisked away by that Jack dude (who btw I do nawt like).
I was certainly a random pair, but I thought that they worked so well together both in a platonic and romantic sense! They're both incredibly rebellious kids who don't mix in well with their other peers for many reasons! And they don't seem to hide it either! Both are unbashful about their dislike for societal norms, and while it would've been interesting to see them interact during s1, the point in which we do finally see them interact is sooo much more intriguing for both of their characters.
They've been forced into this mask of maturity that doesn't quite fit either of them. Bobby is literally in a suit that does not fit him, pretending to be an adult to solve adult problems.
Audrey is already unfortunately far too mature for her age, being forced into a role of independent behavior, but now she's also stepping into this 'business' personality to help her father with their failing enterprise.
Meeting each other during this time of shared falsehood gives them to freedom to be themselves again. They're mischievous, scheming, setting up plans in dark corners and whispering behind hidden faces. They are each other's outlets to let go of this persona's they've been forced into, and it's so sweet! I especially love their scenes during Ben's little.... civil war reenactment era 'cause while everyone in that plot was getting along, it showed even further how they bring out a sillier side of each other.
maybe you guys are living in a world where Langdon was alone for 10 months, but I'm living happily in a world where Mel found a way to reach out to him a week after him being gone and she was the first one to visit him in rehab.
I'm living in a world where Dana visits him every other week and tries her best to keep him updated (she'll screenshot facebook posts she wants him to see).
Furthermore, I live in a world where Garcia and Dana carpool to visit him and Garcia texts him on a daily mostly of selfies and lovingly making fun of him.
I'm living in a world where Mckay has reached out to Langdon, talked to Mel about it, and now all four ladies have carpooled to visit him. Strengthening not only their relationships with him, but with each other (#girlpower lkadjfld).
I'm continuously!! living in a world where Collins talked to him a on a daily and when he got out (sounds like he was in prison lol) He was the one to help her make the deicison to leave this hospital behind and start the life that she wanted free of devastating losses and unhappy relationships.
I'm living in a world where Samira sent him a gift basket because she wanted him to know that she's still there for him, even when her life gets too jam packed to visit or talk.
I'm living in a world where these kind sweet people are reaching out a loving hand to a struggling man, okay!!
I known it's already been talked about to hell, but it really surprises me that just no one reached out to him!! It's really shocking for a lot of reasons, but mostly because it seemed like he had such a good relationship with most of the people in the hospital!
I mean it would POSSIBLY make sense if it was specified that people like Dana or Garcia didn't reach out to him, because they know about the stealing aspect of his addiction (while they both have limited knowledge, they still know to an extent). So, perhaps there's like an air of tension in reaching out to him, they know he didn't something illegal and now it feels uncomfortable to interact (EVEN THOUGH WE'RE INTERACTING FINE WHEN HE'S AT WORK BUT I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT JUSTIFICATIONS HERE LAKDKLFJDS). But, if we ignore that, there's no specification, Collins, his R4 buddy didn't reach out to him, Samira, his Robby prodigy b sibling didn't reach out to him, MCKAY!!! the other addict in the pitt, didn't reach out to him?
I honestly don't judge the writing of this show a lot, I think they do a fairly good job at writing a whole bunch of different perspectives and making each view unique and justifiable, but this is seriously like crazy to me, like this just... I don't know this seems like such an over sight and terrible character reads for literally everyone else. No one reached out to give a little bit of support, a little 'looking out for you bud' to the struggling addict? That's bizzare.
Furthermore! It's bizarre when we've had fairly good reactions to him coming back in the first place! Dana checked herself off his apology list, Samira spoke highly of his return, once again as many people have pointed out Robby's the only dude in here pitching a fit about his return! It just honestly does not make any sense to me that all these kind hearted and emphatic characters, whom I'm assuming all have his number for many reasons (friends but mostly COWORKERS!!), just never reached out to him. Wack.
