#House MD spoilers

[sojatoals]

so this is dominika's debut episode, so she's never met wilson before. meaning the only thing she knows about wilson is house's description of him...

so, wilson's a "soft-looking man," huh, house? you told your fiance - who at the time, you only saw as a means to an end - about wilson? how much did you tell her about him, considering she took one look at him and heard him speak once and deciphered who wilson was?

Obsessed with the way Vicodin is such a huge piece of symbolism in House’s relationships. Like. Cuddy left him because he relapsed. She told him that he took the Vicodin to avoid pain, because pain means you care and he wasn’t willing to do that. We’ve seen throughout the show how House’s emotional pain manifests as physical, increasing whenever he feels guilt or anger or sadness or fear. Keep in mind this was while Cuddy was worried she might have cancer.

And then Wilson ACTUALLY gets cancer, and House treats him at his apartment, and he feeds him Vicodin. Because Wilson is in pain, and he’s always the one who cares so much, and it’s House’s turn to take that away. And House doesn’t take any Vicodin. He feels the pain so Wilson’s is lessened, because he CARES. They make a point to show that he is willing to care, willing to take on that burden for him.

House will do anything to stop the pain, unless it makes Wilson suffer.

house md’s worst and best hate crime is wilson’s “i should have spent my life being more like you. i should’ve been a manipulative, self centred, narcissistic ass who brought misery to everything and everyone in his life” followed by house’s “you’d still have cancer” and then wilson’s “yeah, but at least i’d feel like i deserved it!” house risks his entire life to let wilson do too much chemo. wilson didn’t even ask him to do it. house gives up the last of his vicodin to stop wilson’s pain. he lies to wilson about it. house tells wilson that all they need in life is each other. house promises to let wilson die in his apartment instead of being taken to a hospital. he risks everything because wilson asks him to. then wilson tells house that he deserves cancer. there is no fucking reason for this. it’s the best thing they ever did.

‼️HOUSE MD SPOILERS AHEAD‼️

Hey so btw just putting this out there because I'm losing my MIND over this realization:

Every woman who came along in House's life was so willing to outwardly accept him as he was, but never in an unconditional sense like Wilson did. When Cameron went out on that date with him, she goes,"I don't expect you to be someone you're not." and proceeds to get upset when, obviously, House is an ass. He's very visibly self destructive. With Stacy, he says he's not going to change, and she goes,"Who's asking you to?" but again. He's self destructing. Even with Cuddy, she tells him,"I don't want you to change. You're the most incredible man I've ever met." But when he relapses on vicodin, she ends things with him.

Wilson, on the other hand, never truly expects him to change at all. Yes, they have their fights and arguments, but Wilson is the only person in the entire show who can ACTUALLY handle House not changing. Wilson knows who House is and he doesn't expect that caring for House will somehow nurture him into growing or changing. Even when Wilson leaves in s5 after Amber dies, he doesn't try to tell House that he needs to change. He knows full well that's not going to happen. So, he leaves. But when he's forced to bring House to his dad's funeral, he's reminded of how much fun he has with House, despite how much of a jackass the man is. Even though he was downright furious nearly the entire trip, he still admits it's the most fun he's had since Amber died.

Wilson was the only person who never really wanted House to change.

Moments in House MD that made me absolutely feral as an O.G fan that watched it as it aired back in the naughties, shipping House/Wilson hardcore and not realising I was queer:

1. Wilson loudly reciting a poem to House as he enters the hospital lobby which contains the line: "His manly chest, his stubbled jaw, everything about him leaves me raw.'

2. The look on Wilson's face when a random clinic patient gives House advice about his date with Cameron.

"Do her....or you're gay."

*cue Wilson looking to the side like...wait a minute...*

3. House: "They were not Prada! you wouldn't know Prada if it stepped on your scrotum."

4. Wilson: "House I believe you're a romantic, you didn't just believe him, you believed IN him! Wanna come over tonight, watch old movies and cry?"

5. House (yelling across a crowded lobby to Wilson): "How long can you go without sex?"

6. The look on Wilson's face when he gets a masseuse for House (!) and she massages his hand, causing him to begin moaning orgasmically.

7. Stacey: "What are you hiding?"

House: "I'm gay... Oh that's not what you meant! But it does explain a lot thought. No girlfriend, always with Wilson..."

8. House watching Wilson sleep on the couch in his apartment, then quietly erasing a voicemail from a real estate agent saying Wilson's apartment application for a new place went through.

9. Wilson, explaining his infidelity during his previous marriage, to Cameron when she's feeling awful because she considered cheating on her husband while he was dying:

"Well my wife wasn't dying, she wasn't even sick. But I met someone who made me feel...funny. Good. And I... didn't wanna let that feeling go."

The lack of pronoun haunts me to this day.

10. Gay male patient harassing House and questioning why he won't treat him:

Patient: "Because you're a closet case?" (Eyeing House and Wilson who have just emerged from House's apartment)

Wilson: "Uh...we're not...together..."

House: "He is so self-loathing."

11. House nearly kills himself to attempt to prove there is no afterlife, Wilson waits over his bedside and then calls him an idiot and orders him extra pain medication. House's response is:

"I love you."

12. House: "Big romantic weekend in the Poconos could change everything."

13. Wilson refusing to participate in a board vote to oust House from the hospital and consequently losing him job for House. Wilson's furious with him over being put in that position but forgives House easily.

14. Wilson (speaking to House about dating a woman eerily similar to House): "Why not? Why not date you? It's perfect! We've known each other for years, we put up with all kinds of crap from each other and we keep coming back. We're a couple!"

House: "Are we still speaking metaphorically?"

15. (Less than a minute later when House keeps trying to convince Wilson he and Amber are a bad idea).

Wilson: "Wait a minute, every time I agree with you, you come up with a new argument. What are you trying to avoid?"

House: *Stares at Wilson with the most meaningful eye contact to ever eye contact*

Wilson: "Oh! Well if you'd looked at me with those flashing eyes before I was involved (clicks tongue)."

16. To Wilson's new girlfriend in a threatening, 'stay away from my man' voice:

House: "Give him back his sweatshirt... Pit stains don't become you."

17. House: "This isn't just about the sex! You like her personality! You like that she's conniving. You like that she can humiliate someone if it serves..."

*tense pause*

House: "Oh my god. You're sleeping with me."

*flees restaurant*

18. House: "I have really gotta get you laid. If I have to plough that furrow myself, so be it."

19. Wilson: "I have a headache."

House: "We don't have to have sex, sometimes it's nice just to cuddle and talk."

20. (To a bellboy at a hotel House is staying at, while gesturing to Wilson)

House: "After he and I have sex, I'm gonna slit his throat and disembowel him in the bathtub."

21. House going to interview all of Wilson's ex wives to figure out how best to break him and Cuddy up when they aren't even dating. The look on his face when Bonnie explains how good at sex Wilson is? Priceless.

22. House: "Probably my deep and very unconscious desire to get Wilson into my bedroom."

22. House: "If you're coming back because you're attracted to the shine of my neediness. I'd be fine with that."

23. House borrowing money off Wilson in increasing amounts to test the limits of their friendship. He later admits to Wilson that: "Maybe I don't want to push this til it breaks".

24. House being convinced the male CIA agent who approaches him in season 4 is a stripper and sitting on a bench saying:

House: "You wanna close that door?"

CIA agent: "Why?"

House: "Well I assume you're gonna drop trou at some point during the dance, I don't see why I should share."

25. Wilson: "I want a threesome"

House: "Shouldn't we try a twosome first?"

26. All of that episode where House is talking to Dr Nolan and says Wilson is not a consolation prize. Legit became convinced halfway through that this was going to be House realising he's in love with Wilson and wants to keep living with him.

27. House hiring a P.I. to stalk Wilson after they've had a falling out to see if he misses him. The P.I. clocks this immediately and treats the case like that of a scorned lover needing to know if the other party is pining and if theres anything that can make him come back.

28. Wilson proposing to House in a restaurant to throw a wrench in his plans to date their neighbour.

29. Wilson got mad that Cuddy hurt House. So he bought her dream apartment out from under her in sheer spite and moved into said apartment with House.

30. Wilson being indecisive and unable to buy furniture for himself because of a flimsy sense of self and an inability to figure out who he is and what he wants. House teases him about this and challenges him to buy one peice of furniture that says something about who Wilson is.

The peice of furniture Wilson buys?

A piano organ for House.

31. House: "You were thinking about Wilson while were were having sex? That's cool so was I."

32. Wilson: "If things go wrong, I just want you to know..."

House: "If you're gonna say that you've always been secretly gay for me? Everyone just kind of assumed it."

33. Cameron: "Where do you put the cane?"

House: (referring to Wilson) "If he buys me dinner he can find out."

34. That gay as fuck ending, fuck I'll never be over it.

randomly going insane about house md

because

after eight years of the show, 20 years of knowing each other, four marriages between them, so many heartbreaks so many betrayals, searching for people to love and who will love them, after doing fucked up shit to each other, barely communicating their feelings, seeing each other through unimaginable pain and causing it too

house chooses to blow his entire life up for five months

five months with wilson

the man who started from pestering cameron about her 6 month marriage to a dying man

ultimately gave everything up for an even shorter time with wilson

its just

god they really did that

[househrt]

generally, I don't think Wilson would cheat on House except for one situation:

after Wilson gets his diagnosis (in an established-Hilson universe), I imagine he'd have a crisis that would involve him cheating on House. Maybe it's because he needs a distraction, maybe it's because he knows House won't take the news well and part of him wants to sabotage their relationship so House is more okay with him dying (which wouldn't actually happen, but Wilson is freaking out and not thinking clearly)

House finds out about the cheating before he finds out about the diagnosis. And the entire time after that, every fight and argument, Wilson knows that if he told House why he did it, everything would change. But he doesn't want to guilt-trip House into not being mad at him for fucking up

[justaboutsnapped]

there's something deeply wrong with this man

Sex with a Ghost by Teddy Hyde

inspired by an edit I saw on tiktok by @/justsomeroombas which made me go rabid and immediately draw this :3

no text version vv

[sojatoals]

in this scene in 8x02 "transplant":

do you think house was in the MRI machine reminiscing about wilson? specifically the time in 2x13 "skin deep" where house was in the MRI as wilson joked about being god? the so-called "good times" house was talking about earlier in 8x02, as it was one of the few times house genuinely laughed in the show?

especially because after the dialogue exchange regarding wilson's patient, house goes on to say:

they always hurt me. gah. :(

[sarachidouinsbae]

i think if house drove into wilsons house it would only take houses prison sentence for wilson to forgive him and for them to be ‘friends?’ again

[oldmanffucker]

when your depressed boy best friend jumps off the balcony of his hotel and you are sure you're watching his suicide but he's cannonballing into the pool below and manically raging with the kids there and your heart is in your throat and your blood runs cold you question all your life choices for the umpteenth time this week

[dr-handballslector]

It cracks me up that Wilson is canonically really good in bed He had all there wives say to House’s face he only cared about you House but dick game was CRAZY

[thecicadagraveyard]

I have a feeling that the only reason Wilson never visited House in Mayfield is because he knows that if he saw even the slightest glimpse of House suffering he'd have done anything to get him out of there. He knows that he'd do anything in his power to make House feel better; to save him from himself and anything else in the world, even the things that would help him. He knows he'll do anything to make House comfortable and safe, even enable his addiction as he did for years prior. He'll do anything that House asked him to.
