Wade: You ever take a nap that so severely fucks you up, you can feel all your past trauma returning to you at 7 pm in the evening?

Logan: What the fuck? No?

Wade: Liar.

[vangoghmeteeng]

i genuinely thought hilson would be a Thing™️ in later seasons but no I’m watching season 1 and they’re already married? I’m not even sure if they end up canon but to me They Are

This has most definitely been said before, but we were robbed of the core four quarantining on-screen together at Buck’s place. ROBBED I say

[couchsterfield]

just need to get this out of my system

[hydraulicfluidinmyteapot]

thinking about this image specifically today

thank you @henwilsons for putting this into the world

House: "there's two things we get stupid for: money and sex."

Wilson: "you were right, it is always about sex"

[gossippool]

chronic pain day where wade and logan are BOTH going through it and fucking themselves over by trying to one-up and take care of the other person

[realbeefman]

oh they were so fucking

[marc--chilton]

the real dog metaphor for wilson is when the most well loved companion animal does a really big sigh like he pays taxes and has the weight of the world on his shoulders

[stardvstbby]

i ship Wade and Logan not so much in the steady-relationship-way but more in the long-time-fuckbuddies-who-sometimes-won’t-talk-for-years-but-are-there-for-one-another-when-Shit-Really-Hits-The-Fan-way

i think the various dynamics of hilson in fic are SO fascinating to consider. i've read ones where house is smitten and bisexual and waiting for the penny to drop for wilson, or vice versa, and ones where they both are crazy about each other but don't want to say anything for fear of ruining the friendship, or ones where both of them are mired in repression so deep that their game of gay chicken only ends when they're in bed together (doing distinctly more than just being in bed together sjkfjkh) its so fun how many options we have!!!

Need an acknowledgement after Buddie goes canon of them having had latent or explicit feelings for each other for years. This isn’t a case of “oh, we were best friends for years and then one day we woke up and were in love.” This is a case of “we’ve been best friends for years, and we’ve been falling in love with each other since the day we met. We just didn’t understand it yet.” We’ve already had Buck’s realization that he’s bisexual, but his arc was chock-full of obliviousness to his attraction to Eddie, his feelings for Eddie, whose attention he actually wants. He still doesn’t really get it, but he gets that he likes men too, at least. Eddie is a whole other ball game. From the Catholic guilt to the toxic masculinity to the childhood emotional neglect to the pressure he keeps putting on himself to perform in relationships. He’s repressed as hell, and he isn’t to “I’m gay” yet, but we see hints of him understanding that how he feels might be a little different (his pause at “follow your heart, not Christopher’s” from Carla, his two talks with Bobby, admitting to performance anxiety on dates to the whole team, his talk with Buck about Marisol being an ex-nun, his acceptance that Ana and a ready-made family was the reason for his panic attack).

We know that the two of them are bad at identifying how they really feel, or at least allowing themselves to feel it. So, it makes way more sense for the show to admit that they’ve had romantic feelings for each other for years, rather than trying to convince the audience that what we’ve been watching these past seven seasons isn’t a product of two characters’ struggles with their identity and relationships. And while I’d be satisfied with a light-hearted snark from Hen or Chim about how they’ve been seeing it for years, I’d be so much happier with a full circle moment of the boys actually fully knowing themselves, acknowledging that they were never just best friends, they just didn’t understand it yet. It would show their series-long growth, as well as being an enormous tip of the hat to the audience. Because we aren’t misinterpreting it. We’re reading the queer-coding directly from the show, yes through subtext of course, but also the literal text. There have been so many moments deserving of acknowledgement in this regard, and I would hate for Buddie to go canon without it being clarified that those moments were exactly as queer and/or romantic as we thought.
