This was probably said before but I feel like stating it again, Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary really is the Most Character of All Time™️, like he's aroace he's in a platonic throuple with Rocky and Adrian. He's their pet. He's their son. He's everyone's uncle, he's a leaky space blob, he's beautiful, he's stupid, he's the smartest person ever, he's Eva Stratt's feeling machine, he's her Dead Wife, he's Carl's Dead Wife, he is a romantic relantionship with Simon from Iron Lung, he isnt in any relantionship, he gets passed around between Rocky and Adrian and Simon like a blunt. He's scared he's brave, he's incredibly adaptable he's losing his mind. He is everything and I love him for It so much.

Hucklerobby is a very weird ship to me because first of all the age gap thing is definitely toxic and I do not understand how some people can find this attractive

there are places in the world today that are experiencing 40°C for the first time in recorded history. of course there's no way to know whether chucking billionaires into volcanos will appease the sun god but i feel we're doing the scientific method a disservice if we don't at least try

Forever thinking about “Boston is nice too?” and wanting to throw up about it. Just sitting on the floor of a gym across from the stranger who would be the Shane of his existence like.

I am so far away from home. I am so afraid but I cannot show it. I’m going to be all on my own out there and people are not kind to me. I’ve always been alone, but never this kind of alone before. I don’t really know you, but you seemed kind. And earnest. You would not lie to me. Is it safe? Will I be happy there and safe? Boston is nice too?

Ougghhhhgg. My brave little bug I’mgping to be sick

FIC REC

okay guys i’ll be honest, I get a lot of shit from my similarly geeky friends for reading a/b/o shit on ao3. BUT part of why I like it so much is because you can do sooo much world building with that shit and tell an incredible story. The political dynamics, the potential for abuse of power, dystopian bullshit. All the stuff that I have always loved reading because it sheds that oh so necessary light on the dark realities that exist here and now.

Anyways. I am reading a hucklerabbot a/b/o fic rn that is incredible I have absolutely devoured the WIP in under a day and I recommend it for everyone. Its messy and horrific and sad and scary but its also lovely and intriguing. Read the tags, don’t be a dick in the comment section, and dig the fuck in.

How it feels to genuinely enjoy the Pitt and not get caught up on every little bad thing a character has done because they’re all complex human beings and none of them are truly evil like everyone in this fandom seems to think

[dyke-enjoying-media]

i love enjoying things with nuance and media literacy the pitt is truly an exercise in seeing people and characters in their entirety good and bad and some of you need to do this exercise more

y’all only like night shift because their flaws have been exclusively implied in very missable throw away lines (and towards people y’all don’t sympathize with anyway).

ellis told trinity nobody gave a shit how tired, traumatized, or exhausted she was when trinity was on the fourteenth hour of her twelve hour shift. a season of that, to more universally sympathetic characters, will NOT be palatable to a lot of gen z. ellis doesn’t care if junior residents are overworked, she doesn’t coddle or encourage. she is a tough love, ‘put me in coach,’ rub some dirt on it kind of person, and the gen z viewership will become overly critical of her life philosophy that demands a lot of grit.

shen is insensitive and detached. robby was wondering where his step son was, there was a mass casualty rolling in, and shen was relaxed enough to sip on his dunkin. he was bothering robby about if he could get thanksgiving and christmas off that year. shen’s blasé attitude will start to grate on people as he extends that lack of fucks given to more patients and coworkers than just robby.

jack is not the woke guy everyone projects him to be. i believe they kept him far away from the ICE episode because the writers had no truly satisfying answer to how jack’s character would act in that situation. this man participated in imperialism for free college and healthcare (or for valor which is even worse). he continues to listen to police scanners and joins SWAT. he is on the side of the establishment as it relates to exerting force. he may have unpacked some conservative values, but there will be nuance there that will make black and white thinkers very uncomfortable.

the night shift doctors characterization is much less developed, but the seeds of complexity are there. ellis hates whining, shen is largely emotionally removed from any patient outcomes, jack is a mess of contradictions. people just can’t pick up on that because they watch the show while scrolling through their phone.

you. don’t. want. night. shift. you want to know less about the characters so you can continue to project your values onto them.

[unfetteredautism]

this is very true for most people. unlike ME, who wants those fuckers and their big fat ugly flaws on blast. give me more mentally ill assholes doing mentally ill asshole things. so i can write fanfiction making them even worse. i deserve it.

[puppydogwhitaker]

gonna say something that might get me hate, robby is trying to save samira.

they’ve drawn all these parallels between them for two seasons. him spending too much time on the college student who OD’ed, running a bunch of “unnecessary” tests, then him turning around and chastising her for doing the same thing. they both have this connection with abbot. they both have a panic attack (and they’re shot the same way too, with the stumbling around close up, the volume getting louder). he uses his experience to connect with a jewish patient in a similar way to mohan using her experience as a WOC to inform her treatment of the woman with sickle cell. hell, even her mentioning wanting a family this season is so similar to robby’s arc last season, where the timing just was never right for him. they have similar father wounds too.

robby does see himself in her. he sees that empathetic person who just wants more time with people. he sees this young person who wants to live a life and have a family. we started off this season with him having her back, wanting to support her.

but he thinks her staying in emergency medicine (or at least the pitt) is a mistake. she knows to not go to him for a letter of recommendation for any fellowships inside of PTMC. he suggests she go into psychology in season one (restarting her residency) and geriatrics in season two.

he’s going about it in a fundamentally callous and unprofessional way, but he sees who he used to be and is yelling at her to get out of this place, this field of medicine that has taken everything from him, before it’s too late for her.

he thinks he can push her away from this. if he hazes her in the right ways, if he sabotages her work experience enough to push her into a specialty more “her speed,” then he will have prevented a tragedy that’s a lot like the one he’s currently living.

he is, of course, disrespecting her by doing this. he is not trusting her capabilities and not treating her as the intelligent, autonomous, adult she is. it’s paternalistic as fuck. i’m not going to claim what he’s doing is correct, but i think the motivation is a lot more complex and sincere than robby just having a blind hate for this woman.
