so ur telling me that wilson lends house 5k for him to buy a car, then we figure out house DOESN'T NEED IT and was just testing wilson to see if he would lend it?? AND WILSON COMPLAINS THAT IT'S THE FOURTH TIME HE LENDS A LOT OF MONEY TO HIM?? honey, why do you keep doing it?
like, wilson lends him money when he doesn't want to and house doesn't even need it. he's testing to see if how much wilson values him. AND WILSON VALUES HIM SO MUCH!! (i wouldn't lend my best friend more than 200 dinheiros)
AND, after wilson figures this out, he's clearly pissed. so house makes a deal to give him the money back if wilson calls his parents to cancel a dinner with them (that he's been avoiding the whole episode). then wilson doesn't do it, playing him and telling house to "be a grownup and either tell mommy and daddy you don't want to see them, or i'm picking you up at 7 for dinner"!!! i have no words. HE PLAYED HOUSE! AND HOUSE DIDN'T EVEN EXPECT IT FROM HIM!!!
that's for sure a dynamic.

doomed tragic yaoi is all fun and games until you start pondering the Life They Could’ve Had
#I’m emo over it alright#they would’ve been the worst ever parents but also the absolute best#wilson would’ve been such a great PTA dad he’d get invited to all the events#and the entire committee would’ve had a restraining order against house after he attempts to sabotage the 4 millionth competition#in favour of their kid#AUUUUURGGGHHHH#I know that they emphasised how Wilson wasn’t ready or stable enough to be a father#but he never really let go of that vision#and house was so good with rachel :(#they could’ve fostered traumatised kids and broken the cycle#I’m just being delusional atp#but they deserved the bbc johnlock domestic fathers ending#we deserve a soft epilogue#and whatnot.#house md#greg house#gregory house#hilson#james wilson#house/wilson#hatecrimes md

i hope you all understand that the bond between house and chase gives me near-lethal, irreversible, incomprehensible mental illness. i just rewatched 8x12 "chase" and it actually left me shaking
the only other time house has made this many excuses (fewer actually) to check up on a duckling has been with thirteen. and we all know they're like this 🤞
literally this whole episode is just house going "i give a shit i give so many shits are you ok are you mad at me" *3487 phone calls*
also chase being absolutely fatherless accuses house of wanting everyone to be like him but my god it's house with the steel chair, the BIGGEST dad move possible, what was essentially "please don't turn into me." a vulnerable, honest plea. no deflection, rationalization, or making this about himself... uno reverse card of all time. sobbing throwing up etc
"you reassess your life when you've made mistakes. you didn't. you just got stabbed." the way house's voice got so soft during the last sentence... cue that cameron line from season 3 "he almost looks like he's... caring." hugh laurie makes me want to eat glass
#he really said 'chase is a brown-noser and he also wears a dunce cap' for three consecutive seasons and then decided he was his favorite#you know what i love more than hilson. more than romantic ships#weird fucked up mentor-mentee/parent-child characters#it's like injecting poison straight into your veins#house md#this is why i will never get over breaking bad btw#robert chase#gregory house#houseposting#vaaya moodu

House and Wilson interacting with cuddy's 2 year old for an episode was unexpectedly wildly entertaining
#im also so sad dr chang didnt get hired i liked her#actually scratch tht she doesnt deserve to get caught up in this bullshit she seems pretty happy#did absolutely love the hilson parenting arc tho they were shit at it#a fr classic scrape. told to look after a toddler forgets to watch the toddler the toddler gets into typical toddler trouble#now they have to fix it without letting the parent know which means dealing with a child all day by themselves#so much fun#wilson keeps climbing through winows this season tho and its becoming a running thing he should stop doing that#zeeth watches house md part 6

ohhh the idea of john being an alpha and blythe being a beta,,, i can so imagine john having issues with not fulfilling the stereotype of a typical alpha and being with an omega. and his son is his chance to raise a great alpha, but ends up being an omega??? like not only the disappointment of having an omega son but to have one when he already would have insecurities about his family's social status as am alpha beta pairing.... like house would just be a manifestation of all johns anger towards the way his life is and the way hes percieved
FUUUUUUCKKKK YEAH THAT WOULD BE HIS ANGLE HUH....
then for greg to doubt that john is even his father. if john didn't go silent on him i'm not sure that he wouldn't've gone into a hulk out frothing fit of rage instead
plus like...... an omega daughter is one thing. cute, even, though not what he would've liked for his offspring. but an omega son? in john's eyes that had to be the worst possible outcome. greg presenting probably made john physically queasy
#asks#certified-moth#thinking this ask was gonna be about the hilson pup stuff then getting this hammer to the face instead#u caught me slippin and that's on me!!! that's on me babes#admittedly i am still like trying to figure out his parents' angles and correlate what i see to what house says/implies of them also#but like. man. that shit hurted. even the hypotheticals hurt sometimes#hell i'm still thinking about ice baths during heat. everything's hypersensitive and body temps run warm like a fever#it would be actual literal torture. like deadass. bloodcurdling omega howling from behind the bathroom door#mgv

Hilson [ENG] prompt
...when they were young actors in plays.
(timeline: early '90s)
Play, no. 1:
This is going to be the first time House and Wilson met each other, in a play where they were just friends of the leading character. In their sequences, both are showing interesting connection/collaboration through their characters' banters. As people were guessing there's something between them. They (the characters) stay close till the end of the play even without any obvious description about what they are going to be in later time (the play doesn't have sequel, so it's just basically done).
Play, no. 2:
This is going to be the time where they are the main characters, in a play where it's kind of musical (or just— musical, what should I say). It's either Wilson plays as a man and House a woman, or House as a trans, or— House plays a character that has to be in woman clothes to do something (maybe he has to disguise because he's on run away). They sing. They dance. They play instruments. Their character fall in love, Wilson's character as the one who doesn't mind about House' identity. House' character tried to push Wilson' character away. But they always find a way to meet each other, having no excuse to not to having conversation on their own. Ups and downs happened. Both of them stayed in love with each other. Wilson's character showing that he would always faithful to House' character and their love. House' character showing determination on how he himself would manage the relation, thinking that he would be a burden. With a trilogy of play, at the end they find a way to live in each other arms, finally getting in together. Wilson's character stays, protecting them. House' character stays, now he's not afraid to show his love to Wilson's character. Ending the trilogy with a kiss, the only kiss they've done in the trilogy.
Now... That I tried to keep it in the same timeline of House MD (but in an alternative canon/universe), they could've fall in love after the play no. 2 or while in the play. Still— House found Wilson first at the convention and bailed him out of jail. But they don't know yet about them, until the play no. 1, they suddenly met, as actors, with their own characters. It was kind of awkward at first, knowing they know each other before, but it was what making their work interesting and loved by the audience. They worked so well together. And then play no. 2 happened. It makes their relationship more interesting. They hold hands, they're dancing together, they're playing instruments together, they're singing back-to-back. Their last kiss feels natural and comforting. They slept in each other arms when they're back at Wilson's. Saying nothing, but their act is showing that they're in a bit of confusion of what they are, but at the same time— they are happy, now that they could show their love to each other, even it's just little actions.
I also like to think that Wilson would only has two marriage, ended around '97 or '99. Feeling that there is no reason for him to get to another marriage, as it seems the women he's been married to were not as in love and not as faithful as he was to them. Only then he also realize that his life also revolves around House. He doesn't hate it. He feels that this was just feels right; this, everything happened between Wilson and House.
House married Stacy because— he also feels love. But he doesn't realize that it was kind of forced by his parents. However, he is happy with Stacy, happy loving Stacy, happy getting loved by Stacy. Infarction comes, and they got divorced.
It broke House. He's still in very much pain (physically), and now he has to deal with the pain in his heart. Wilson is always there for him. Being with him, accompanying him going through what it feels like hell. Wilson is not going to let House end his own life. He's making sure that he is there with him, helping him, taking House to his embrace, taking care of him. House still can be an asshole sometimes, but Wilson knows he doesn't mean it. In his heart, House knows that he needs Wilson.
And later in seasons, I'd like to think that they're faithful to each other, loving each other, sleep in each others' arms, staying close to each other. When they were together, they would somehow show that the world is theirs.

...... i have. PRAWBLEMS. with the ending but honestly i felt very unwell and gross rn so i had difficulty focusing in the first place, maybe if i watch it again when i feel better ill feel different. under read more bc this got long lol
disclaimer before anyone GETS at me: i am not a critic. im literally just some guy watching a tv show, and i am really more confused than anything so if you really enjoyed the finale and feel like it was the perfect way for the show to end im happy for you! i don't have any intent on arguing it Absolutely Wasn't. this isn't a Hatepost. just me airing my thoughts. that are probably really incoherent bc again, i feel unwell ;_; brain is more focused on my stomach than this damn show
i knew how this was gonna end, i did watch the end of this show before, ive always been familiar w house because i watched episodes of it on tv as a kid with my mom and sister and knew major plot points like amber's death and wilson's cancer and house faking his death and everything but. the details were lost on me. now that i know the details something about them just doesn't jive with me and feel right.
probably related to my earlier post about how even in the final season so much of house is the same. he tried to change for the better but he was still back. i mean the entire premise of the show is about "the disabled addict doctor who struggles to be a person" so if any of these magically stopped being there that'd be stupid ESPECIALLY him being a disabled addict which are so central to his character. so im definitely not complaining about that.
initially i thought him faking his death was insanely reckless but what other choice was available. if he went, Hey, im here! im alive he'd absolutely be going to jail. in jail so far away while his best friend, maybe his only friend would be dying alone. of course he did that. his only choice was ttofake his death to be with wilson. throwing away his whole life and legacy and career and reputation to be with him.
hilson endgame real but also, while watching the whole show i kept going from "tumblr didn't lie these guys are gay" to "Tumblr may have oversold it a bit". but that might just be in the nature of its episodic structure. not e everything is abt wilson there's other people in house's lofe but in that final season everything does speed up, suddenly and become about wilson. which brings me to the whole cancer thing. in my memory of the show from watching it as a kid, Wilson's cancer came up as a plot point WAY earlier and there is much more time to discuss it in the show. to ponder and delve into it, what it means for wilson, for house, for the show. but actually watching the show it feels very sudden....! i felt like the entire cancer thing, which plays so damn heavily into the SERIES FINALE, wasn't explored enough...? it felt rushed. but it might feel like it because well there's a difference between watching a show as it comes out on a schedule vs binge watching it on demand.
and another thing that irked me is- but this is more of a "this personally makes me Feel Sad and Weird" as opposed to genuine criticism is how EVERYONE thinks house is dead except Two People. that's crazy. i have a Thing for closure and knowing things, the truth, im a little paranoid about that, but it just feels insane to me that house's own parents, family, former and current colleges, lovers, everyone... they all think he's dead when he's not. i see how that is, in terms of the Narrative, a good thing? house is truly FREE now. and if other people knew they'd probably call the police. but also that's just kinda horrifying.... I don't know. idk. also wtf cuddy wasn't there at the funeral? D: obviously i know how their last meeting went but they were such big part of each other's lives im rlly shocked she wasn't there! or even showed up at ALL in the ending scene where we see where everyone's life has headed, a little scene of her, Rachel, and someone new
and also. ._. how did that fire even start in the first place?..... did i miss something....? uaaaaah. i should watch it again
ugh but despite my peeves. i want to pass this off as Just another show ive watched, time to move on to the next, because a big part of the reason i started house and kept going and even chose to watch it at the times i did was because i have been going through some rough shit mentally for the past. entire year plus. i have relied on it to keep me distracted. i want to just move onto the next distraction but i have become so attached, it's hard to not feel :/ and :( about 1) the fact it's over now 2) it ended in a way that makes me feel funny, and not in a good way. aaaahhhhh.

house md reboot ideas:
-wilson has fully recovered + he and house have a domestic partnership thing going on in socal
-house is running a backdoor clinic to stave off boredom since he’s legally dead, going under the name “holmes”
-wilson is writing a flop blog (maybe under the name john) about his recovery/survivor’s guilt and is working part-time with the elderly because he has a dying fixation
-a post suddenly goes viral though when wilson writes about one of house’s client cases, especially among online gay spaces where people are like “wow old gay love 😍”
-cuddy, back in princeton with her butch wife (!) and now 12-year-old daughter, starts reading it and is like… that is absolutely house and wilson
-she reaches out and (after yelling at them for being insane people) asks them to come back, princeton isn’t the same without them, the hospital needs them, no one is better, etc…
-they’re both reluctant to go back but they recognize the other one Really needs it and they miss princeton and are too east coast to last much longer in socal
-wilson agrees to come back, but only in an admin position overseeing oncology, since he doesn’t want to take on any clients who could die
-house is ready to re-establish the diagnostics department but WAIT since he’s “dead” his license is invalid and he can’t legally practice or be hired which means…
-smashcut to an acceptance letter for “Holmes” to the (fictional) princeton medical school
-cuddy, on top of her admin stuff, is overseeing the diagnostics team (new characters) as a house proxy until he can officially take over
-wilson and house continue living together to “save money” and “because it would be too hard to split up the furniture at this point”
-cuddy and her wife (who is the hospital’s legal counsel, idc if this is a conflict of interest) somewhat reluctantly hire house as a babysitter for rachel since his class schedule means he can pick her up from school AND it gives cuddy the excuse of “calling the babysitter” whenever she needs house to consult on a case (which is often)
-rachel LOVES house bc he’s fucking crazy (she loves her moms but they are a bit overprotective and she’s a preteen now) and will also spend all season plotting to get house and wilson together for real, ala parent trap
-house hates having to do classes, but we get a fun cast of characters in his cohort, including thirteen (!!) who is back after going nutso a couple years back and has to get in a bunch of continuing education classes to practice again
-episodes are split between Case of the Week (with cuddy + her wife often featuring), house and rachel shenanigans, house medical school silliness, wilson slowly being able to take on clients again/getting over his trauma, and a season-long hilson slow burn where gay wrongs are finally turned into gay rights
-BONUS: idk where this comes in but lin manuel Miranda reprises his guest star role as house’s old mental hospital roomie but to everyone’s surprise is now a successful rap-musical composer (the musical is called like “Madison” or something lol)
-BONUS: we get a jersey shore episode and more jersey-isms throughout in general because it is funny to me
#waiting at the airport for 2 hours and this is what happens#i’m totally normal guys i promise#house md#hilson

Opened Tumblr and Red White And Royal Blue is number 1 trending. I remember reading through some of your posts on the book, and i think you mentioned there was going to be an adaptation?? And that you were dissapointed with the casting and scared the adaptation will fall short of the substance of the book–or something like that.
I assume the reason it's trending might be because of some recent update about the series or movies production. So what are your thoughts on it?
Aha. Ahahaha. Hahahahahahaha.
Yeah there's a movie that came out last week. It was not just a royal disappointment, but so racist it was like spending two hours being repeatedly slapped in the face.
*rolls up sleeves* This is going to be a long, spoilery Rant. If you liked the movie, don't look under the cut.
The positives: Nicholas Galitzine was perfectly cast as Prince Henry and did his best with what he was given. He and Taylor Zarkar Perez as Alex had great chemistry and were quite unself-conscious in the love scenes. Some of the scenes in the first half (any time Zahra was on screen, the TV interview, the hot and hilarious Red Room scene) were worth the price of admission. Henry explaining the way he negotiated his role as a prince with his sexuality was unexpectedly moving. Amalgamating Secret Service Agents Cash and Amy into a trans woman of colour was a great choice that moved what would have been a side character into the main cast, and Aneesh Seth ate the scenes with Taylor. Rachel Hilson infused her role as Alex's best friend Nora with naturalistic warmth. Major props also to the intimacy co-ordinator. The whole thing with the hands during the sex scene was intimate and erotic.
That said.
I could have made peace with the fact that the characters were obviously much older than the just-out-of-university kids they were in the book. But I wasn't prepared for the character I know and love as Alex to not even be in the movie.
Things that defines my son and personal avatar Alex Claremont-Diaz:
short king rights
ADHD perfectionism
abandonment issues because of parents' divorce
has so much trouble letting people get close to him that his lifelong best friend is his protective, parentified older sister
chaos gremlin
repressed bisexuality
angry intensity and ambition of a burning star
cannot shut up or modulate himself to save his life, puts the offensive in charm offensive
very defensive of his worth as a person of colour in politics and an overachiever because of it
full of swagger and obsessive drive while being five inches away from crashing and burning at all times
Who Alex was in the movie: a laid-back fratty only child with nothing wrong with his life and this one uncharacteristic, inexplicable grudge against this poor white dude.
Said grudge against Henry was made out to be a non-issue that Alex only made into a big deal because he was an immature, petty asshole. Being dismissed by a privileged white person that was handed everything you have to fight for and then being compared to him for years no matter what you did is such a resonant experience for PoC and they just...shat all over it so Henry could make fun of Alex. They even changed what Henry said at their first meeting in the book so that they could make it sound even more ridiculous.
Henry himself was mangled less obviously, mostly because of his actor. But he was made this uwu soft boi out of a Victorian novel who had done nothing wrong in his life ever, instead of an inherently high-strung but hedonistic and fun-loving young guy struggling against institutionalized homophobia and lack of mental health support.
Which, you know, fine. I didn't expect this movie to capture any of the nuances in the book or even accurately portray the characters. I wanted to see two hot guys romance the fuck out of each other and have sexy times.
But producer Greg Berlanti's brand isn't just failing to meet expectations, it's creating new and exciting ways to fuck over women and minorities from wholecloth. Unlike the book, the villain of the movie is not the homophobic, abusive head of the British Royal Family. Nor is it the GOP Presidential candidate who in the book has the boys outed to sabotage Alex's mother's Presidential campaign. Instead, the villain is a queer Latino political journalist motivated by sexual jealousy. This character was created expressly for the movie to replace both Alex's gay best friend from high school as his first same sex encounter and the heroic gay Latino senator who was the key to unravelling the GOP plot in the book.
How do you amalgamate two characters of marginalized identities, one of whom is a heroic figure, and make them the villain instead of the characters that represent cis heteropatriachal white supremacy?? Because as I predicted, the King isnt even a bad guy. He's more a befuddled blustering old dude who even validates the boys' relationship although he's too concerned with appearances to consent to it.
What the fuck. What kind of racist, homophobic, white apologist, spineless CW bullshit is this????
(Also what is with Alex going on about being working class?? Latinos aren't working class by default?? The boy grew up the son of two senators and was captain of the fuckin lacrosse team??? He hasn't been working class a day in his life?? Henry even ribs him about it when he sees Alex's childhood home?? Are they going out of their way to make Alex look stupid??)
Given all of that, plus cutting out the book's principal Latina character (Alex's sister), and refusing to make Alex's mother President Claremont a divorcee with a blended family, an ugly pattern emerges in the treatment of this movie's women and minorities. In the book, Henry's mother is emotionally absent because the death of her husband precipitated a mental health spiral that she finally pulls out of when her son is outed. In the movie, she had left her kids behind after Arthur died and fucked off to Botswana for environmentalism (interesting choice) and never comes back. In the book, Henry's older sister Bea is a leather jacketed rocker rebel child as protective over her brother as a lioness over her cub– a sibling dynamic mirrored in Alex and June's relationship (this book is about parentified older sisters actually). In the movie she was made into his younger sister who had no personality other than flowery dresses and being his girlish confidante. Henry's Nigerian best friend Pez who is canonically a flamboyant, larger-than-life, billionaire genius had like three lines in the movie and might as well have been a cardboard cutout. Alex's best friend and US Second Granddaughter Nora's Jewish identity was completely erased (as was her whole personality). Worse, they cast a non-Jewish Black woman in the role and left her to handle the blowback for it, which is Berlanti's typical M.O. Oh, but the UK prime minister who was in the movie for five seconds was a Black woman! Totally not a token to shield against any accusation of racism and white liberal douchebaggery!
How the fuck do they expect props for "representation" when they erase, minimize and tokenize literally everyone who isn't a cis white guy?? Not even heterosexual rom coms with all-white casts are this hostile to women and non-white people.
On a purely technical level the movie was terrible too. The sets looked cheap and artificial, there was no crowded, high-energy feeling in any of the election scenes. One of the book's pivotal scenes sees Alex literally storming the castle by standing outside Kensington Palace getting drenched in the rain and shouting for Henry to get his ass down there until he's nearly removed by security. In the movie Alex is quietly let in by the staff and wanders into Henry's room inexplicably wet, like he'd been standing under a showerhead, and begins monologuing at Henry. The late night V&A excursion and slow dance in the book, that was a reflection of Henry's wistful, joyful inner world, is vacant, still and aimless in the movie. Alex made his historic public address to the country about their relationship without Henry, before he could even get to him (and the King wants to claim the emails are fake afterwards??). The fucking emails! Were! Missing! Except for like, one. Waterloo vase where?? Why would we even care about the emails being leaked if we never even got to see the intimacy and aching tenderness and open love in them??
They also kept shoehorning in lines from the book into the dialogue so that key lines like "History, huh?" sounded painfully clunky and awkward. Between Taylor's wooden acting, atrocious pacing and the self-conscious script, all the story's most romantic moments landed with a splat. You couldn't feel the emotional stakes in any of it. I deadass stopped watching twice because I was so bored and had to make myself sit through the last part.
(Maybe it's because I'm asexual and my love of smut, great as it, depends heavily on context, but– what was the point of Taylor's gratuitous bare-ass shot? Was that compensation for having kept the guys' crotches five feet apart at all times? What?)
Look, I was ready and willing to give director Matthew Lopez his flowers but he gave us a box of calcified shite. This is why I keep calling representation politics a white supremacist grift. It's a way of making cosmetic, token changes in exchange for retaining the core status quo with all its bigotry and bias while using our own artists and characters as a shield. It makes our talent both vulnerable to and complicit in the narratives spun by white institutions. No amount of female and queer Black and brown people at the helm will serve us justice if the ship belongs to white colonizers.
The best that can be said about the movie is that it makes the book look brilliant by comparison. And the book itself is a half-assed attempt at QPoC representation and generally middling, but draws in pathological fangirls like myself by having a compelling main couple and main cast, beautifully tender love letters, being peak white USAmerican Brand Hopium, and hitting every fanfic trope with a mallet. Being a mediocre white mess that gets a little worse when you look too closely at it is a prerequisite for me to obsess over something.
But if you want to an actual good book with the same appeal, read Alexis Hall's Boyfriend Material and Husband Material. Those are iconic. Hall's books are less "diverse" (how I hate that word) but a lot more honest and queer. (Queerness is fundamentally leftist* motherfuckers. Neoliberal queerness is just white bourgeois resentment at being marginalized).
*Well, Arden St. Ives trilogy isn't, but sometimes you just wanna get fucked by a billionaire in the fun way.

(MINOR SPOILER WARNING FOR HOUSE MD SEASONS 1-4)
currently rewatching house and i have a big big need to read some fics. does anyone know any fics with the trope that House does have cancer or a Hilson fic where Wilson cheats on House while they'r a couple? or maybe any fic that focus on the House wnd Foreman realtionship(PLATONIC) ? honestly any good fic that has House as parental figure to the original fellows is also very needed. and maybe a post chase punch fic is what this fandom needs. if this doesnt workout imma write my own istg. idk im really picky and my mind needs these tropes so i beg you Tumblr,help me

Fandom: Gilmore girls, love interest Paris?
(This is because she’s not Richie’s ship anymore isn’t it?)
• Ivy Adeline Cunningham-Hisenburg
• But goes by Addie Hisenburg (long story)
FC: Rachel Hilson
• Besties with the LDB boys since childhood, has hooked up with Finn, Colin & Logan separately at least once.
• slept with Louise once
• but also somehow had been Paris’s best friend since kindergarten, they’ve always been back-and-forth for the top spot at Chilton but more of a friendly competition.
• there was definitely something developing romantic developing with Paris but then her parents get divorced, her mother gets full custody & they move to France, leaving her spot at Chilton available for Rory. 👀
• Still sees her dad at holidays
• Mom got full custody but she ends up at a boarding school.
• Ends up back in Connecticut because she never did let go of giving up her dream of continuing her father’s side of the family’s Yale legacy…
• May or may not end up in politics.

canon wilson is just so sad and i think mgv would fix him
bc in canon it's a time when homosexual relationships are not accepted and they wouldn't have been able to get married (a large contingency of the wold still doesn't accept homosexuality)
but in mgv it sounds like a relationship between two men is acceptable/much less taboo if one is an alpha and one is an omega. so wilson could have that hilson dream-life that he so obviously craves. poor bby chase may be my fave but i still love him so much <3
side note do you (as in marc, not as in what house or wilson would do) like it when wilson is referred to as jimmy in fics and the show and stuff? i have some ppl i know on here who don't like jimmy being a name for him but i think it suits him if house does it. i don't think anyone else would call him that but i like it when house does because i think it can convey the perfect amount of endearment and mockery (i also have opinions on chase nicknames. i think he'd hate his first name being used in full bc bad memories, so he'd go for chase even in close relationships or prefer robbie/maybe bobby. can't envision him as a rob) (also i bet at some point house would refer to foreman as erica or ricky or something just to be irritating) (cuz he's like that. idk just watched an episode where he referred to chase as "the wallaby" so i'm in a house-giving-pseudoaffectionate-nicknames-while-simultaneously-attempting-to-be-insulting-is-lovely mood)
-🎸
wilson finally ticking off the boxes of "typical well adjusted normal man expectations" of having a good job, a wife (sorta), and a pup on the way, just. not in the way he'd expected. mission success! somehow! (he is not a well adjusted normal man. he can't be if he's with house)
imo i don't mind wilson being called 'jimmy' but only by house. 'jimmy' is a juvenile nickname for a man in his forties but house has probably referred to him as such since they met, when wilson as extra adorable and EXTRA extra adorable getting annoyed at house calling him that. teases him teases him teases him :3
house refers to chase as 'wombat' but inflects differently so sometimes it sounds like a mockery but sometimes sounds affectionate (usually sounding a little kinder the less company they have when he says it) though has called him "bobby chase" before to make him sound incompetent, probably to a patient
after their pup is born, house hesitates calling her anything besides her name even jokingly, too concerned with giving her a complex (a ripple effect of john's own parenting). meanwhile wilson calls her 'bug'. and variations of. she reaches for him, impatiently whining for his attention, and he'll chuckle and call her lovebug. she gets Baby Zoomies (and/or hand-flappy levels of Excite she has to get out of her system before her emotionally unregulated toddler body blows up) and he'll call her lightning bug. she has a nightmare and asks to sleep with her parents? bedbug. he loves that baby so much
#asks#anon#riff#mgv#house mgv#i just KNOWWW the s6 domestic hilson era is gonna do so much for me#in general but also in thinking about All That in omegaverse flavor#also can i just say i love how annoying house is#he's so kitty. standoffish and hard to bond with but you Learn Him. then you Love Him#in spite of how he keeps you from sleeping and keeps messing up your things and knocking stuff over#saying this rn as someone who was woken up every hour to let a cat in/out my room#and also tried stealing my leftovers when i was sleeping so would get evicted too#now he's asleep by my head as i'm saying all this. my son who i want to strangle sometimes and love very much

unpopular house md opinion?
cameron was the best duckling!!! also amber should have been on the team!! we should have had her in every episode forever actually! also deeply intrigued by romantic house x amber ngl this could have changed the game. obviously I'm #hilson4eva but like the possibilities the potential. also early huddy was so good. tension banter cunt bi on bi violence ect but the more they moved it into explicit romantic territory the less interested I got the spark was just gone. also not enough wilson which obviously isn't an unpopular opinion but it just had to be said. and not enough hilson co parenting the ducklings :/
