"grace. grace! grace give attention. rocky perform human ritual of escape closet now. statement."

"come again?"

"i learn more from thinking machine. human gender preference. attraction to same gender, means word 'gay.' all eridian same gender." rocky stands straight up. "rocky come out to grace now. all rocky plural gay, statement."

"...wow, that's... rock, i'm not sure it makes much sense to apply human ideas of sexual orientation to a monogendered species."

a long and judgmental pause. then:

"grace HOMOPHOBIC, question????"

Rocky knows damn well what they're doing and keeps doing it

grace nearly has a hernia. "what?! no! homophobic? rocky, i like men! i mean, like, i like men as much as i like anyone else, which is to say, in theory, maybe! i'm not--i--" rocky is squeaking and chittering wildly. grace buries his face in his hands and groans really loud. "you're doing a bit."

"yes!" rocky crows and bounces triumphantly around, giving himself a big round of jazz hands. "yes, rocky do bit! grace always fall for rocky bit!

"yeah, yeah, har-dee-har-har, laugh it up."

rocky, still giggling, "actually, on erid, grace only person not of eridian gender, therefore--"

"don't say it--"

"grace only straight person on entire gay planet!"

"alright i am DEFINITELY not that."

"grace need parade, question?"

grace throws something at him. it bounces harmlessly off rocky's hamster ball. "hate crimes! grace do hate crime!" rocky manages to chirp out through laughter so intense his legs buckle a bit

Why has my traumatized brain decided to hyperfixate on wolfstar during this period of tumult

#wolfstar #like most of the time i don't think abt them because of how much i hate jkr #(and i also never cared for hp except the marauders)#and wolfstar remains one of those things in my past that's just kind of nostalgic but not rlly important #but lately im reading fics and looking at art and obsessing over what the fandom has created #just to escape #and it makes me feel gross #but it also makes me wonder how much of the work really belongs to all these creators in fandom who hate jkr as much as i do #like nothing im doing is in any way lining her pockets #and the fandom has created something of their own #but its still based on a steaming pile of bigotry #is this even a conversation worth having?#idk #anyway #mwpp #marauders era

So was anyone going to tell me that Hudson Williams is only ONE YEAR OLDER THAN ME or was I supposed to just find that out on a heated rivalry gif set

#bro WHAT??#he seems so much older #this has also led me to finding out that connor storrie is only two years older than me also #why do i feel like. old but also really young at the same time #heated rivalry #hollanov #hudson williams #connor storrie

Where’s that one post that’s like Reasons Why My Wife Cried This Week and when are we gonna get a fanfic of that but Ryland Grace.

stargirl-and-potts

Reasons my human has cried:

* New student, very small. Grace said it was pebble. Pebble is small Earth rock. Pebble likes name.

* He found out Eridians have no gender rules.

* Students brought him mineral sample. After he stopped crying he said he loves show-and-tell game. Human naming conventions oddly literal.

* I told him Earthsun grew bright.

* I took him up atop atmosphere bypass elevator to look at stars.

* He woke up from nap and found me still with him. I did not wait on his chest; he says I am heavy like “elephant” and he “couldn’t breathe.” I laid my arm over him instead, kept him close, feeling safe. He said “cuddle” was warm.

* Before class he heard younglings singing.

* He has plants in house from sprouts on ship. Plant grew “bud.”

* Engineers got seawater temperature right. He took off shoes and stood in water, sighing. He didn’t care about pants getting damp. Cried until shirt was also damp. Humans very endlessly wet.

* He missed “Doritos.”

* Adrian helped food scientists make taumoeba dried paste. Made it crunchy after heating. We fused it into triangle form. Told him it was Tauritos. That made him laugh-cry. Laugh-cry is rare and precious.

* He remembered Eridians have no gender rules.

* We made him celebration outfit. Used metals he calls pretty. He can see frequencies named “colorful” and “shiny.” These make humans happiest.

* I gave him hug when he wasn’t expecting it. Easier to hug close now with exosuit. Hug when Grace sitting down so he does not fall over.

* Told him to think long time, stay with me as long as he can.

#‘laugh-cry is rare and precious’ AHHHH #also ‘he remembered eridians have no gender rules’ lmao #phm

I'm very attached to shane got his autism from one or both of his parents but none of them are diagnosed because it presents the very funny idea of their house naturally having habits/accomodations that are normal for them and thus never get brought up but that of course ilya wouldn't know about

like they're all used to calling out a warning before something loud ("blender!") just as a heads up because yes of course you would warn everyone around you about incoming loud noise

which means one day ilya is helping clean up a potted plant that got knocked over but turns on the vacuum without a warning, making yuna and shane look at him like he just betrayed them

and ilya is just ????

Every time I watch the scene where Langdon turns off the lights in Mel’s room I wanna fucking cry

#i think it must be a common wish for a lot of autistic people to just be understood and treated like that #it is for me at least #(and I would much appreciate people dimming the lights specifically lmao)#i love the representation in this show so fucking much i’ve literally never seen anything like it #the pitt #mel king #frank langdon #kingdon #actuallyautistic

Only been watching The Pitt for a few days but Mel King is THE best autistic character ever written in a medical drama. She doesn't "make connections no one else can" or "just see things differently" or any other Savant with Special Abilities stereotypical bullshit, she's a resident physician who's exactly as intelligent and capable as any other resident physician in the same year. She hates unnecessary yelling because it's loud and annoying, not because she's completely incapable of handling conflict. She usually keeps her stimming subtle enough to hide but sometimes she can't. She loves having a furry critter to pet. She accommodates an autistic patient by lowering the lights and closing the doors because she understands the sensory nightmare of an active medical setting. She speaks in a straightforward and honest way but she isn't an overtly rude inconsiderate asshole. She misses some jokes and takes things too literally on occasion but she does have a sense of humor and she is funny. She speaks up against misinformation and parent panic about autism and other developmental disabilities. She has emotions. She looks at a video of a lava lamp on her phone to chill. Doctor Mel King you have my entire heart

larry: wait your parents were deported?

mel: oh no lol i misheard. my parents are dead.

I am so fucking obsessed with Mel

#the pitt #mel king #she’s so me #I reeealllyy hope they turn her trailing off when people leave into an actual plot point instead of it just being a running thing #because my heart breaks every fucking time #it wouldn’t take much #either she could notice them leaving and stand up for herself/say she’s not done #or someone could come back and say ‘sorry what were you saying?’ or if it’s a group look at her until she’s done (you know those nice ppl)#hnnnng s3 now pls i need more mel king

i LOVE that the pitt has stuck with not showing us anything outside of the hospital (and it's immediate radius). you get to see these characters in this context ONLY and the personal information we get about them is either peppered through organic conversations between coworkers, or shown to us in ways that we have to decipher!! like frank's absent wedding ring, religious/faith symbols, santos/garcia hints. it fucks so supremely i hope they never go back on this decision

bambicest

seeing only the hospital is one thing but there IS something oddly sinister about the pov of the show being limited almost entirely to Just the emergency department. like yeah we see the helicopter base, the elevator, and one single scene on the abandoned eighth floor, but nothing else of the hospital. mckay and ogilvie go to find a scale for howard knox but we only see them returning. surgeons come downstairs for consults and vanish once they leave. mel's deposition happens off screen. noelle, dr shamsi, the CEO, orlando diaz – the moment they step outside of the emergency department, they cease to exist. it's isolating, and intentionally so. it narrows our focus but it also traps the characters. and in a meta sense, it's bizarrely.... well, it makes me think of severance. of the innies and outies, and the sharp delineation between Work and Life. they exist only in these 12 hours and when they leave, they disappear. like they don't get to have a life outside the pitt. like they're trapped there. I don't really have a point, it's just......eerie

i'm probably gonna say very little about fandom discourse around this ep because spring break starts next week and i'm running out of sanity but actually. i love everyone on the pitt being flawed and fucked up and nasty sometimes. i love robby being a hypocrite and repulsed by samira's anxiety because he's repulsed by his own. i love that, alternatively, samira is repulsed by her mother's loneliness because she's repulsed by her own, too. i love santos blaming langdon for her ostracization at the ED and her unwillingness to see that, separate of the langdon issue (however separate you can make it), if you go around being an asshole to your peers all the time, some people are just not going to fucking like you. i love that its garcia specifically who checks santos for the lack of decorum she's displaying in front of their patients in this ep because garcia herself could arguably stand to have a bit more decorum when talking about patients and she's also treating santos like a dogggg right now. i love that mel is overstepping boundaries with becca and coddling her in a way that doesnt allow becca the space she deserves to be an autonomous adult with autism who should be respected on her own terms because mel's also struggling with what it means to be an autonomous adult with autism who should be respected on her own terms. i think there's a difference between a show depicting characters behaving badly and cosigning their bad behavior. i think a good character and a good person are separate categories. i love that this is a show that isn't so obsessed with likability that it keeps its characters from behaving badly.

frankly, i hope these characters keep fucking up, and i hope they keep getting checked by their fellow fuck ups, because that's life, brother. there is no divine priestly class of sinless people who exist to tell the "bad" people off for their missteps. and i hope that, as the show progresses, we see robby, santos, mohan, langdon etc make more mistakes and better mistakes. and i love that this show, for all its flaws, is (imo) still holding true to its premise that people are not wholly defined by their best moments or their worst. no matter how uncomfortable it is to sit with that nuance or how tense that makes an episode of television lol.

#you said it #the pitt

God I was so upset when Dana told Mel "you’re a good egg but this is not about you" EXACTLY. When does it get to be about her 😭😭
