Goddd 3x01 was such a good episode because we finally get to see, as close as we can, the House before the infarction. He's still silly and childish, doing tricks on his skateboard, faking out Cameron and bolting, and throwing grapes at the janitor. Still annoying Wilson and Cuddy. Still a bit of an asshole to his fellows. Still a genius.

He still says most of what he did before, but the way Hugh delivers it is softer, more genial, more joking without that harsh undercurrent of cynicism that's usually there. A patient's wife thanks him. Multiple times.

He still dresses vaguely the same, still has the sneakers, but he doesnt wear t-shirts and jeans with a blazer thrown over last minute for a thin veneer of professionalism steeped in exhaustion. He wears full suits (or khakis/chinos) with button ups. They're still not ironed, they're still sluttily unbuttoned to wink at the idea of being a professional. All totally within character.

But the very last scene brings it home for the audience that no, this isn't the same House as before the infarction, that addiction isn't something easily brushed off when you're not in pain, even when it's been months since you used. The reminder that House's addiction is not just because of his chronic pain - that it's not that simple. The fact they linked the high he gets from solving cases (and Cuddy and Wilson denying him that high with the Addisons patient) to the high he gets from Vicodin (and House forging the Vicodin prescription on Wilson's rx pad, believing he was wrong about that man, setting off the whole Tritter arc) is such a masterclass in storytelling.

This whole episode was so richly layered in subtlety; from Hugh's performance, to the costuming choices, to the nods of House's addiction through the lens of his relationships esp before the last scene, it was always showing and rarely telling and trusting the audience to be intelligent which is something really lacking in modern TV lately.

Wouldn’t it be so fucking funny if we finally get to meet Steve’s parents in s5 and they’re like…typical suburban parents

After making them mostly monsters in fanfic like guys fffff half the time we make them emotionally abusive and/or neglectful, the other half physically, and then like if you’re on the dark web then 3% of the time they work for the lab and Steve’s like a failed number…

For like, the vibes ya know

…But then we actually meet them and it’s a pudgy office dad with glasses married to an “I can be cool >:(‘ mom.

-“Steve, I thought you said your mom doesn’t trust your dad…looks like they love each other?”

Steve: “???wym, of course they love each other. But obviously she doesn’t trust dad on trips cuz he got lost in a Texas airport once, duh.”

-“ok, what about when you said he’d kill you if he found out you drink?”

Steve: “Yeah??? I’m literally underaged and if he found out I’ve been watering down his $200 liquor he’d be so pissed 🙄”

Like, TO BE FAIR Steve’s dad telling him to get a summer job to figure out the value of money or whatever is pretty typical like baby boy didn’t work in high school 😭 and he’s like pouting and huffing about in scoops

He has a fancy car that his parents trust him to drive and take care of

And him not wanting to work for his dad is valid of him like imagine his dad is trying to be supportive like “if you ever need a job son you can come work with me :)”

and steve would hate that cuz to him it would feel like he didn’t deserve it or work for it, working for his dad feels like it means he failed to make something of himself

And like Steve’s not a bad kid, he’s a teenager who just hates his first job cuz customer service sucks, does stupid kid shit like drink and go to parties, and feels like he missed his chance to makes something of himself that he and his parents can be proud of just because he’s a little behind than the rest of his peers

I relate to that so hard

Like bro said he was having a party at his house and it was just like…4 people he invited with a six pack. No music or anything just chillin on lawn chairs and shooting the shit

Even his home is in warm colors 💀

But we love the angst 🤌 the drama 🤌 and torturing our favorite character

[miwiromantics]

Idk why but I find this absolutely hilarious

I mean, why? Like whyyy. Why are we bragging about being mean now?

[reticentmeow]

Sorry in advance for the layout, I'm not a comic guy LMAO!! But yeah yk when ur in an abusive relationship and they just leave for unspecified amounts of time and get mad when you spam call to make sure they're alive? Yeah

Also I didn't finish this and refuse to do so <3

The whumpee trying new mobility aids. They help, somewhat. But the more they use them, the more they hurt.

Crutches bruise their armpits and misalign their hips. Canes cause wrist pain, eventually causing their entire arm to get too tired to use it. A wheelchair requires upper body strength they haven’t quite honed yet.

They wonder if it’s worth it to even use one if they’d be in pain anyways.

O-kay here you go ⭐️

Beautiful Stardew Valley bachelorettes i love them sm !!! I tried to give them different types of blush and I like how it turned outtt

[hellfire--cult]

fuck you. fuck you for what you did to me. yes, i am here because of you, i got better because of you, i am stronger because of you, but still fuck you, i won't forget it, and i won't forgive you, and fuck your forgiveness and your closure, and you can call me resentful and to let go, but letting go doesn't mean i have to forgive you. so fuck you and i hope you burn in hell.
