so i just finished house md.

[marc--chilton]

hi it's alpha/alpha and omega/omega ask anon here. the question was bc a lot of mgv fics don't do that at all, like it just straight up doesn't exist ig in that universe? so i wanted to see how it is in yours. also thinking about shit like ruts and heats, like if alphas get territorial about another alpha in their space during ruts would their instincts recognize hey this is my mate who i love or would they just go get outgetoutgetout? or if omegas need something other omegas can't provide so easily does that make heats hard?

yeah for my mgv it happens pretty commonly. it's not really a big deal socially aside from like. conservatives who overvalue alpha/omega relationships.

instincts don't really get in the way like that for alphas unless a rut hits early in their relationship where they're still adjusting to just not being single anymore, and for omegas, most tend to have their own supplies for solo heats so they can partake in the intimate gesture of sharing their heat stuff with each other. i guess it goes without saying that beta/beta relationships are pretty tame in comparison since their instincts are much duller and not all of them even go in a cycle whatsoever (the most 'beta' of betas are essentially normal humans)

[how-the-feathers-have-fallen]

Dumping the start of the tags here cause tumblr has a tag limit of 30 :/ sorry op

Okay hold on

also more things I couldn't fit in. after cuddy bails out choreman chase gets assigned a bunch of clinic hours as Punishment TM. But mom-dad wilson (house is dad-mom) keeps him company till house gets angsty and comes to bail him out pick him up.

More I couldn't fit in at the end so I dumped here outta order:

wilson teahces the ducklings to paint since obvi house passed down his musical talents

rich kid chase got assigned clarinet at age 6. he's ok but has 0 heart. house jokingly points him towards a lyre in a music shop and he takes to it instantly. house go to tease him (baby angel lookin-) but chase looks so overjoyed and he says something like "look just like David played for Saul" so he melts on the spot (and convinces wilson to by him a kinnor so he doesn't know its his idea. he sings like a screeching alterboy tho)

I think cameron can sing but she's quiet and stumbles so she refuses to get formal training. she's tear rendering on a cello tho. surprisingly she can dj like all hell too. she had a wild college life before her 1st husband

foreman can sing smooth as silk. but he can't play an instrument to save his life (no patient for it). his dancing though? stage worthy. can be convinced to show off after a couple drinks.

Obsessed with the whole vibes of early season one of House. The ducklings have the energy of dysfunctional siblings along with their insane Vicodin-addict father. Wilson isn’t shown to have an office yet so he just lingers at House’s side while constantly and giving him fuck-me eyes. Wilson will just sit in on diagnoses and give his advice like he doesn’t have any responsibilities in the world. When the team needs to (illegally) shrink a patient’s tumor so it’s small enough to operate on, Wilson just says “alright” and does it along with Cameron. Chase does a silly American accent to fool a patient’s mother and it WORKS. Foreman is new and already despises everyone. House comments on how fuckable Wilson looks when Wilson is simply wearing a green tie and nice shoes. An old woman says that House has the same bedroom eyes as Ashton Kutcher. At one point the team, House, Wilson, and Cuddy all gather together in the small lab room to discuss a patient and are all basically brushing shoulders. Wilson reads a love poem out loud in the middle of the hospital to House. House eats tomato sauce that the team suspected was killing the patient. Wilson ditches his wife on Christmas Eve to go hang out with House and it shows a montage of them laughing and eating take-out. Cuddy greets House and Wilson by saying “hi, boys” like they’re kids. Foreman and Cameron are tasked to search a patient’s home and Foreman eats the ham he found in their fridge because he was hungry. The first scene with House shows him and Wilson walking down the hallway literally brushing hands and shoulders despite the hallway being huge. One of the first things Wilson does is lie to House. Wilson asks House — who rarely ever takes cases unless he finds them really interesting — to take a case and House just takes it. When asked why it was so easy, House just looks at Wilson with a smirk and says “you know why” and then they both smile at each other. This is all in the span of the first eight episodes.

[barryroyco]

okay so in my opinion, if you compare hugh laurie’s performances in each respective plot, house never had feelings for cameron. there is absolutely no romantic tension on his part, and i believe that he played it that way on purpose. because if you watch how he acts in scenes where house is supposed to have tension with cuddy, it’s night and day how different he is. hugh laurie acts with his whole being—face, body, voice, he’s putting his all into every scene. his romantic tension with cuddy was as intentional as his lack of attraction to cameron.

so moving past what we know to be canonical, if we compare house’s chemistry with cameron to house’s chemistry with cuddy and bring in the matter of house’s chemistry with WILSON? the tension he brings to certain scenes? the scenes where maybe there’s a “joke” about them being gay/in love/having sex? in many of those scenes, hugh laurie—who we all know can play the shit out of a comedic beat—chooses to not play it as a joke (best example would be the “you’re sleeping with me” scene and a lot of the amber plot. it could have easily been played for laughs, but hugh laurie played that shit dead serious). i think, based off of what he’s actually said about house and wilson’s love, and how down he was for hilson, he played it that way on purpose. i believe he wanted that for house, or at least wanted to make sure that it would have a solid foundation if they did somehow decide to pursue the plot line. i am so sure that the tension he created in scenes with wilson was intentional. because he matches intensity levels with only cuddy, a little bit of stacy, and wilson throughout the show. there’s no way that’s an accident. hugh laurie is too good for that.

House md headcannons/ things I'd make cannon if I remade House

- Trans woman Cuddy. Not much else changes, she's just trans. She fully transitioned a few years to the show starting

- House constantly implies he's trans in one way or another, all that's ever confirmed is that he has a dick. No one knows if he is post op trans man or pre op trans woman. Wilson knows House just genuinely does not care about gender at all. There are multiple episodes where Cameron uses she/her for House

- Cameron is aromantic Allosexual. She realizes this early in the show and it's dived into more during her fuck buddy thing with Chase

- Wilson is bi (this is canon already as far as I'm concerned)

- House is grey romantic and gay. He fucks women still, just because it's "easier to get a woman to bed than a man"

- Wilson and House end up in a QPR. This is done by Wilson discovering QPRs and excitedly showing House "hey guess what you can have a relationship if you want to!" And House just "yeh that's what we have dipshit" it's never actually brought up again. Viewers cannot tell if this was House being House or if it was the QPR being made official

- Chase has a fear of rabbits (no clue where this one came from I'm just fully convinced of it) he prefers snakes, and makes jokes about feeding rabbits to snakes when rabbits get brought up. Cameron yells at him about this every time

- Wilson gets a male love interest a little bit before Amber, everyone is shocked except for House and Cuddy. Wilson thought everyone knew he was Bi already

- Foreman has an arc where he questions his own sexuality because of Cameron finding hers. He decides he's straight, but not opposed to the idea of dating a man if he met the right guy

I know I have more but those are the ones I've been thinking about all morning so those are the ones I'm sharing rn

[trashhicon]

Guys guys guys I was taking my 3pm shower and had an IDEA,,I’ve been watching house md lately and hear me out:

IT FITS ABSURDLY WELL????

Spinister fr the type of guy to walk in and say “youre dying” then inject you with something with zero warning. There’s no way he doesn’t commit malpractice and he’s got the whole absurdly super good doctor thing and I think they both have autism because they have never understood a social cue ever

Fulcrum and Wilson are like…so similar with the whole pathetic guy who’s super miserable thing. You expect him to say “don’t do that it’s wrong!” But instead he says okay you can do super heroin if it’ll get us out of this situation!!! Also the whole running away thing Wilson does??? Hiding things??? Yeah.

And krok. He’s their leader and boss, the most put together, and seems somewhat normal until you realize oh no he’s also a freak. The episode where she gives hilson the worst couples therapy ever??? Krok with his want to open up a mental health clinic. The specific way cuddy chastises Wilson for trying to leave the clinic? Krok.

Also cranky is foreman, nickel is thirteen, flywheels is Cameron, grimlock is kutner, cons4eva is chase, and misfire is…hear me out…amber.

[eliotquillon]

in the background of last night’s s5 rewatch liveblog has been my mother, who has never seen anything past s3 before on account of me usually looping s1-3 whenever i’m home and have the chance to rewatch on a big screen, and got very Locked In in a way she doesn’t usually whenever i’m watching house with her. so here are my list of Live Tracey Reactions that absolutely sent me:

-continually mistook amber for cameron in the backend of s4, including house’s head/first ten minutes of wilson’s heart. she did not have this problem while we were watching the first half of s4 a few days ago (and was devastated when amber got cut in games), which leads me to believe it’s mostly amber’s longer hair causing the confusion. still very very funny especially considering my status as no1 cameron fan

-has reconsidered her past hatred of wilson (who she previously declared a ‘horrible man’ while we were watching s2 together over christmas). now speaks about him like he’s a close personal friend. thinks house and wilson are just as bad as each other which officially makes her more media literate than most people who watch this show with only a few episodes of actually paying attention under her belt

-has a complete memory hole for thirteen which KILLS MEEEE. we watched lucky thirteen together off the back of binging every s5 episode before it back-to-back and she pointed at thirteen and said ‘who is that’. me telling her it was thirteen elicited zero signs of recognition. i think she’s about two episodes away from calling thirteen cameron like she did with amber

-upon watching the team break into a patient’s house: ‘as if this would happen in real life. even in america’. she has raised zero other objections to this show’s realism stakes

-bounces between earnestly asking why house is so awful and armchair diagnosing him with ADHD

-sincerely teared up at house’s funeral speech in birthmarks and got really mad when i started laughing. was also incredibly pleased to see gallstones come up as a potential diagnosis in that episode because she just got her gallbladder out

-upon seeing the patient in birthmarks haemorrhaging while still smoking her cigarette: *points* cee that’s you

-hates taub. rooting for rachel to divorce him. still went ‘what’s he done that for’ when taub confessed about the affair though

[iveneverbeenmorestressedinmylife]

About to go on a random tangent but i feel like the s5 house finale with houses very real, very serious mental breakdown really changes the way foreman sees him....when john house died foreman took houses disinterest 100% at face value,even went to chase and cameron to complain about how disconnected from humanity house is. Chase was the one who had to tell him that House is probably a mess under all the fake bravado and foreman didn't seem to believe him.

When house first starts losing it fr, (s5 ep23) he locks himself in his apartment for an unspecified number of days. Cuddy sends foreman to find him. House opens the door looking haunted and disheveled, he tells foreman that he is taking a day off, that he can't come to work. Foreman dismisses all of it, he tells him to sober up, to send the hookers home and come to work or cuddy will fire him. When does house not look haunted and disheveled? He is house. He can't be any worse off than usual. Foreman doesnt take him seriously.

House goes to work and foreman is the first one to get suspicious of his behaviour. He can tell that something is Seriously wrong this time. He pries the same way house would have because why wouldn't he? Noone in this office can let anything go. A lot of things happen.

House drops out of a case. Wilson says he is unavailable, full stop, no negotiations. And after the aftermath of it all, when house goes to Mayfield the team must have heard at one point or another about what happened. The details of what was going on. Did foreman connect the dots? The red bloody dots that connect Ambers accident, Kutner's suicide, John House's death to houses deteriorating mental state? House told Wilson that he was seeing Amber. He told cuddy that he hadn't slept through the night since Kutner shot himself in the temple with his own gun. Did foreman go looking for answers? Did they tell him more than they should have? Did he realise that the reason why his boss was looking haunted that morning he ambushed him in his apartment was because he was literally seeing ghosts?

And then of course s6 starts and foremans attitude towards house hasnt really shifted...they spend most of the season "fighting" for dominance over the diagnostics department. But then the s6 finale (help me) happens and house is clearly affected by the death of the woman whose leg he amputated under the rubble. Foreman attempts to comfort him. He doesn't dismiss everything as just house being house. He can tell that this could be it, this could very easily be the night house relapses. He tells him that he shouldn't be alone right now. House ignores him and leaves. First episode of s7, foreman is asking after house. The rest of the team dismisses his worries and he replies with a simple "you didn't see him yesterday".

In s8 when wilson is revealed to be dying foreman again attempts to stand by house. House accuses him of trying to take Wilsons place after he dies. "Dont worry about me, im probably not gonna fall apart." I just can't imagine a foreman from seasons 1-5 understanding house in such a way or making an effort to comfort him. I really feel like Mayfield was a pivotal point in their bizarre employee/boss- boss/employ-friends-antagonists-i don't want to turn into you relationship.

[thecicadagraveyard]

More House MD furry doodles,, I'm actually obsessed with them like I REALLY wanna make more of these (they're also helping me practice expressions again) but I especially want to design the rest of the characters! I have ideas for Cuddy, Cameron, Chase, Foreman, and Taub, but I still have to come up with what I wanna do for Thirteen, Kutner, Amber, etc, etc. Anyway!

This one I wanted to do bc I wanted to do some angsty art and also I thought it'd be a good way to explore some anger in his expression. I also just love the last ep despite how painful it is lol

For this one I REALLY wanted to see if I could get that patented Wilson kicked-puppy-dog-stare and I think I did that pretty well here actually ngl.

Anyway! Those are my fun little doodles for the day, I will probably be making a few more as I go because I've been really loving doing these! I rlly wanna see what I can do here :)

Again pls be nice I'm mostly experimenting with these tyvm!! ♡

[all-pacas]

house md finales ranked or top 10 episodes

FINALES RANKED that seems like a fun one!!

8. S7: Moving On

I had to look up the name, which is telling. Look. I try not to be too hard on S7, but I think we all kind of agree it's the weakest one, right? And even though no one knew this was going to be Lisa Edelstein's last episode, ending Cuddy like this is… rough. The patient/case wasn't good at all — I know finales are usually more about the character story and I get they were trying to contrast her acting out with House's, but it just ended up being an episode full of unpleasant people acting unpleasantly. I don't hate the parallel, or the addition of "here is the loving partner you are hurting with your acting out," but… haven't we done all this before?

I did like the note that Thirteen is into modern performance art, because I think that's very funny of her.

7. S2: No Reason

Man, I wavered about this one. On the one hand, the episode is a lot of fun, and I love S2. It's fun to see House realize he's dreaming, it's fun to see his versions of the characters and his POV. But nothing really happens, both literally and in the space of the episode: it's just an hour-long dream sequence. I don't hate it, but I like my finales to have more oomph, you know? To be honestly, I'm also rating it a bit lower for all the gross-out shots. We really didn't need it to be as gross as it was.

6. S1: Honeymoon

I actually do really like this episode, but we've already reached the point of this list where there are no bad episodes. Honeymoon is much less dramatic and more grounded than the finales that came after: it's mostly just a normal case, and that's not a bad thing. But it doesn't stand out, either.

5. S6: Help Me

A very good episode, but I think it's a little tainted for me because of S7: knowing we're about to lose Thirteen for basically the rest of the show, it sucks to barely see her here. The team has nothing to do. I do think Cuddy's dumping Lucas was out of nowhere, even if I don't exactly mourn the end of the relationship. Also, is it just me, or do other people also find it distracting that the whole team wasn't working triage? I get it was to get the minor characters out of the way, but… did we really need the crane operator's case at all?

4. S8: Everybody Dies

I want to clarify this by saying it is just about the perfect series finale. It's just… over half the episode was House in a burning building, talking to his ghosts. This isn't a bad thing, but as someone who always likes the side characters more, I wish we'd had more than just a montage in the last five minutes; I wish we got some info on what everyone else had been up to. I know House is the main character and the most important one but… Five more minutes of everyone else, you know?

3. S3: HUMAN ERROR

In all honestly, I'd rate this higher just for bias. I love the original team the best, always, and S3 is so good and spends so much time on setting them up to move on and go. The case itself is fairly pointless, but that's not the point, the point is changing and moving on and growth. It's truly the only ensemble finale of the bunch, caring just as much about Chase and Cameron and Foreman as it does House; Human Error will always be famous to me.

2. S4: HOUSE'S HEAD/WILSON'S HEART

It feels sacriledgious to put this second, because they are excellent pieces of television — let's be real, this is what Everybody Dies was trying to be, a close character study of House and Wilson, but the other character matter. There are so many perfect moments in these episodes, but I also love it for focusing on more than just House: Cuddy holding Wilson as he breaks down, the new kids trying to say goodbye to Amber, the old team meeting for dinner in the same restaurant they hung out in in S1. Everything about Amber. But ultimately I rank it just below…

1. S5: BOTH SIDES NOW

I have seen many people say that "Both Sides Now" could have been the series finale of House, and honestly? It could have been. We end S5 with everyone at their happiest and best: Cuddy has Rachael, Taub and his Rachel have worked things out and are happy; Thirteen is getting treatment and happy with Foreman, Cameron and Chase are married, House is getting the help he needs and about to embark on sobriety — throw in Broken and everyone really is healed and thriving. It's an emotional high point, and that makes the tragedy of the next few years all the sharper; at the same time, it's also just a fantastic episode, pulling a bait and switch that no one saw coming with House's hallucinations and the devastating return of Amber and Kutner. I don't think I would have wanted the show to end here, but it could have, and that says something, you know?

[ljblueteak]

Thinking about how Chase getting fired is discussed & seen by Chase, Cameron, House and the candidates for the new team (where Amber, Cole, and Taub separately raise the subject with him).

Chase: Seems to have accepted House’s "Because you've been here the longest, learned all you can, or you haven't learned anything at all... either way, it's time for a change" explanation from Human Error (3x24). He tells Cameron that "[House is] right; it's time for a change” when she meets up with him later in the episode.

He does also tell Cameron that "the why doesn't matter"—it was time for a change no matter what brought it about—but when Cole asks him in Guardian Angels (4x4) whether it was a "mistake" to always "put up with [House's] crap," Chase says "It was irrelevant" and that "He'll fire you either way. Eventually." My read on that (at least right now) is that he realized that he wasn't supposed to be a permanent member of House's staff and he'd have had to go eventually.

House also would have offered him his spot back in The Right Stuff (4x02) even though he had the reputation of going along with House's "crap" when he worked for him, so it seems that having put up with him really wasn't relevant. And Chase probably knew about Cameron's bet with House re: getting Cole to fight him, which is another reason the "putting up with" conversation might not have been relevant. There was more going on than Cole realized.

That's not to say Chase is 100% chill about having been fired. He doesn't want back on House's team and his instinct is to avoid getting involved in any of House's drama. Still, the show makes a point of demonstrating that he's not harboring thoughts of vengeance or out to make House miserable.

Cameron: She tries to reassure Chase in Human Error, telling him, "You know House firing you has nothing to do with you?"

She does also bring up the firing in The Itch (5x07)

Chase: You gonna keep working on this? Cameron: Yeah. I brought in the case. Chase: There is no case. He's gone. You've been tossed. This is totally nuts. Cameron: He's incredibly sick. We don't know — Chase: Forget about the patient. What is going on with you? This is why we left House's team to avoid this constant flood of pure craziness. Cameron: That's why I left House. You got fired.

I'm... not convinced that's why Cameron left. Anyway, she was annoyed when she threw being fired in Chase's face and she was trying to hurt him, but I doubt she was trying to hurt him that badly. If she'd thought Chase considered it an open wound, I don't think she'd have said it. And it's interesting that Chase himself has gotten to the point here where he's glossing over the whole involuntary nature of his departure. He definitely doesn't seem to be licking his wounds.

House: Despite very strongly believing that it's his team/his choice in terms of who's on it, and despite denying to Wilson that he feels guilty about firing Chase, The Right Stuff makes it clear he misses the original trio despite his attempts to deny it. I don't think we're supposed to buy that Chase really is just "someone [House] used to know." Wilson says re: picking a new team, "I think you're going to choose people for reasons that have nothing to do with their skills. I think you're going to choose people just because you can't stand them. Because if you like them, well, that's just, stressful." And House stares somewhat wistfully at the empty space where Chase used to be when he takes off after providing a diagnosis (and shakes his head "no" to the idea of working for House again.)

In that same episode, House tells the people competing to be on his team, "So here we are. The big moment. Which of you gets to live to be abused another day? And which of you goes home and rationalizes being fired as character building?" Sure, it's not directly related to Chase, but it's an acknowledgment that being fired doesn't feel great.

The conversation he has with Amber in Don't Ever Change (4x12) where he accuses her of sticking around in the hopes that he'll change his mind about firing her is also not about Chase, but...Chase is another blond doctor who stuck around Princeton because of his love life after having been fired by House.

In Don't Ever Change, House tries out and rejects the idea that Amber would have stuck around in the hopes that House would realize he'd made a mistake:

House: You just wanna stay in my orbit 'cause you figure I'll eventually realize that I made a mistake and you're gonna be able to rub my face in it. Amber: I can't wait. It's gonna be awesome. House: No, it's not. And you know it's not. 'Cause you know that even if I made a mistake, I'd never admit that I made a mistake. Which means that you're just toying with Wilson to toy with me.

But...he does look like he's ready to take Chase back by 4x02. He's not saying the words, "I made a mistake in firing Chase," but Amber wouldn't have been totally out of bounds in thinking that sticking around might have worked out for her. It would have for Chase. But at this point, both Amber and Chase have moved on anyway. House also considers vengeance as a motive for Amber, but he never does for Chase.

Interestingly, he overhears Cole and Chase talking about Chase's firing and is right there when Taub pressures Chase into performing surgery by claiming he'll spread the (false) word that Chase refused to work on the patient because he was angry about House having fired him and he doesn't jump in with any commentary of his own in either case.

He does yell "I could have you fired" At Chase in 97 Seconds (4x03), but imo it's pretty clear he wouldn't, actually, and Chase isn't phased.

The New Team:

They were probably already having a hard time figuring out what would get you fired and what wouldn’t because early on, you could get fired for sitting in the wrong row but you might *not* get fired for setting a patient on fire or making a mistake that contributed to a patient's death. They must have been really, really curious about what was going on with House and Chase. Chase had been on the team the longest and had been fired because....why? And when they first encounter him, House looks at him to see if he'll take the job back?

House tells Thirteen, Kutner and Taub that they need to stop worrying so much about getting fired in Frozen (4x11), but after the games and after what happened with Chase—and House's apparent nonchalance about the possibility of Cameron getting fired in that episode—how easy would that be to do?

I do love that the conversation with Amber in 97 Seconds establishes that Chase doesn’t think House is wrong even when he no longer works for him:

Amber: Do you think House could be wrong? Chase: I thought he fired you. Amber: No, he fired the men. Chase: I don't think he's wrong. Amber: If he is, how would I prove it? Chase: Just said I don't think he is. Amber: Well, thinking isn't good enough. Chase: You'd have to run a blood test for anti-centromere antibodies.

and also shows that he’s really not feeling vengeful:

Amber: Would you mind running the labs? Chase: You can't. Amber: Well, I can, but... Chase: No, I was making a statement. You've been fired, so you no longer have lab privileges. You weren't coming here for advice, you were coming here to con a favor to save your job. Sorry. I'm not working for him any more, but he can still make my life miserable. Amber: You have a chance to make his life miserable. Chase: I'm insulted. You conned Cameron by appealing to her humanity. Amber: I told her what she wanted to hear. Chase: And you told me what you thought I wanted to hear. Amber: If it's any consolation, I think your motives are more interesting. Chase: I cannot believe he fired you. Go draw his blood. Meet you in the lab when I'm done here.

He knows what Amber's up to from the beginning and winds up being impressed by her and how she gets things done—and that, imo, is what convinces him to do her this favor. He also starts out saying House can still make him miserable—and indeed, House proves he can still make former fellows miserable—i.e. Cameron in Frozen—but that's just an excuse because he generally doesn't want to be involved. He isn't phased at all by House threatening to have him fired later.

The situation with Taub in Games (4x09) is another case where Chase demonstrates he's not vengeance-motivated and is ultimately impressed by someone trying to manipulate him to get on the team.

House: We want to look at his heart. With our eyes. Chase: So I kill the patient on my operating table. You get to keep testing your team and I take the heat from Cuddy. House: If it goes that way, yeah, that'll be excellent. Taub: His respiratory status is through the floor. If there's a vessel and we don't remove it fast, best case, he's on a ventilator for life. House: Granted, it'll be a short one. Who do you think I should hire? Chase: You want me to tell you in front of him? House: It would be rude to ask him to leave now. Taub: If you don't do the surgery, patient will die. You'll have had nothing to do with it. And everyone will know that you had nothing to do with it. And everyone will know that it's because you were pissed off at House for firing you. Chase: You know that's not why I'm saying "no"… Taub: But that's how it's gonna play out. Chase: Keep him and Amber. You'll get stuff done. Prep him for surgery.

I'm wondering to what extent Taub and Amber may have talked, because Taub's trying to impress House here but also possibly trying to impress Chase, who's just given the impression that Taub might not be on his list of hires. If Amber let on in any way that Chase responded well to her coming clean about her attempt to con him, then maybe Taub decided it was a risk worth taking to win him over, too. And it worked. Chase not only agrees to do the surgery but he also recommends Taub and Amber to House and doesn't seem to harbor any ill will toward them for what they pulled (or tried to pull) on him.

He was very possibly not entirely serious about the recommendation and also might not have really thought House would take his advice, but considering that Chase often thought House was correct in terms of diagnoses, he may have genuinely thought that it would be more important to have new people on the team who could clear paths for House. And actually, that would've been a new-ish quality on the team. The original team would do your garden variety B&E and pretend to be the CDC on the phone, but I don't really see any of them, even Chase, doing what Taub did to Chase here or doing some of the things Amber did.

Something like blackmailing a surgeon was something House did to help Chase in The Mistake (2x08) but iirc it was kind of beyond what we saw the original team coming up with themselves in order to get things done (Yes, there was Vogler, but something the Tritter arc cements is the idea that Chase isn't going to feed someone information in order to save himself again, and the Vogler circumstances were very particular.)

And again, no one in that scene between Chase, House, and Taub in Games thinks that Chase is actually refusing—or would refuse—to operate because he's "pissed at House."

At the end of the day, and certainly by Chase (8x12), Chase is probably 98.9% sure House wouldn't ever fire him again. Especially after he murdered someone. But he also knows that even if House did fire him, he'd be okay.

[wilson-with-the-bad-back]

oh my god they are so codependent i love them

(sorry i just speedran reading your blog so i could properly ask stuff)

ANYWAYS. i have a couple questions that are ooc for you

-is wilson still a three time divorcee?

- is stacey here. will she ever be here. please. i love her.

- since im assuming this is. more wilson focused. does this explore how he runs his department more than canon?

- since a lot of the reason the og ducklings left in canon is due to house and his plethora of issues, since he doesnt have as much here, will we still get to see the other ducklings?

- is amber in this?

i want to draw stuff for u. expect art soon 🫵👹 (that is all. bye)

-is wilson still a three time divorcee?/is stacy here. will she ever be here. please. i love her.

we are answering these at the same time. yes, stacy is there. she left not because of house's leg (that never happens) but because of how much time he was spending with wilson. she knew that he was in pain and needed help but essentially gave him an ultimatum, "do you want to spend more time with him or with me?" you can guess which one he chose. as for sam (and the other ex-wives) idk yet if they were married or just dating, but it was kinda the same thing with stacy but less of a "me or him" thing but a "I don't know if I can keep taking care of you" thing.

- since im assuming this is. more wilson focused. does this explore how he runs his department more than canon?

if you have any ideas on how wilson would run his department, send them my way!! other than that, this is actually more hilson focused than anything.

- since a lot of the reason the og ducklings left in canon is due to house and his plethora of issues, since he doesnt have as much here, will we still get to see the other ducklings?

"house and his plethora of issues" is just wilson. "do you care more about him or your job?" is a question he get more than often. cameron leaves more or less because of the same reason in season one (she knows she'll never be with house) and house and chase still fight like hell. idk if the ducklings (any) will be main since this is more hilson focused but you can ask them questions if you'd like too.

- is amber in this?

probably? wilson's nurse?? ofc house would get jealous of her

i want to draw stuff for u. expect art soon 🫵👹 (that is all. bye)

YES 100% ART!! I LOVE ART!! PLEASE ART!!

JUST WATCHED HOUSE MD SEASON 5 FINALE

WHAT THE FUCK

uhhh spoilers under the cut or whatever

Im going to fucking EXPLODE. the way that everything was built up over multiple seasons??? Amber's character appearing as a hallucination to House and acting as his subconscious, the irrational part of his brain, the way that his grieving for her finally manifests in this completely unhealthy way>?? that's so fitting for his character because he's fucking House??????

Kutner's suicide being the breaking point for these hallucinations... how did the writers get all of this out of Kal Penn leaving to work for Obama. God I loved Kutner's character but kudos to the writers for getting this much mileage out of him needing to leave the show.

OKAYYYY now um. mainly i want to talk about the last two episodes of Season 5 I think>??

Basically. What the fuck.

OK so. everything with Cuddy helping House detox was a drea.,,, dream,, I probably should have noticed earlier -> there were some clues like the diagnostic not giving a shit that House had Cuddy's lipstickj but im dense so whatever, BUT HOLY SHIT THE WHOLE CONSTRUCTION OF EVERYTHING??

House hallucinates Amber. So House calls for Wilson to come get him. The very action which played a part in causing Amber's death. And then everything is fine and House starts puts a lot of responsibility on Cuddy to watch him while he's detoxing but the most realistic part was when Cuddy saw him going for the pill and then stopped him which was what made me really buy into all of this,,,,,,,, idk idk it's so accurate to their characters for Cuddy to just say "NO HOUSE" like he's a pet who has something in his mouth.

but then the finale. God, the finale.

ok uhhhhh??? House fucking. realizes he hallucinated everything after getting himself fired for real. I would not want to be Cuddy in this position the woman has the patience of a Saint, Goddamn.

Wilson takes House to the Psych Hospital he mentioned in the previous episode. The parallels of the shot of Cameron and Chase kissing at their wedding followed immediately by the shot of the back of House's head walking to the side to reveal Wilson's face. FUUUUUUUUCK?????

the rolling stones????
