[fandomorientation]

chase is so interestingly fucked up. he fatshamed a 10 year old girl, he kissed a 9 year old terminally ill girl bc he felt bad, he tried to dom a patient into taking his pills, he killed a dictator, and then went to a priest for absolution. what a guy.

Chase asks Chase to take care the chaselings for Chase❤️

[speckledbearzsblog]

So many people disregard Chase as a character because of his wrongdoings, but all the characters in this show are meant to be flawed in some way. You can still appreciate his character while also acknowledging that he’s not a super great person. I think his character development and reasons for the way he is are so well done. Chase and all the ducklings are such complex characters.

Dr. House is still some of the best autistic representation I've ever seen

I made my initial post a while ago, but I'm finally starting season 4 and I feel just as strongly about this. I did get a little bit of pushback on my initial post so let me be clear: I don't care if you disagree with me! I don't care if you don't think Dr. House is autistic! Do not get into my comments and be condescending about it! I'm autistic and this is my opinion! Make your own post about why you think Dr. House is neurotypical and leave me alone!

Disregard for social cues or normalities. I'm really driving this one home because every time I watch this show it shocks me how much he's like me. Not necessarily even because he's an asshole, but because he's just weird. This is old news, but he has an entire conversation with Wilson about how he's not good with first dates and conversations because either the topic of conversation is boring, or there's subtext, and to understand the subtext you need "a decoder ring." Hm yes very neurotypical thing to say. He doesn't have much sense of boundaries or privacy, and regularly embarrasses Wilson or will discuss something gross with Cuddy while someone else is around. He also says pretty gross things in public and in inappropriate situations, even if just to be funny. Some of this is just generally him being an asshole, but I think some of this is genuinely a lack of understanding in how to interact with people. Sometimes he just plainly doesn't respond when asked a question or spoken to when he doesn't know what to say or doesn't want to speak.

Strong sense of justice and morality. I mention this a little in my initial post, but I don't remember if it was its own point. House gets angry when people endanger his patients, and will get angry at anyone, no matter who, if their decision hurts his patient. When Wilson was too afraid to put his foot down and insist that the family accept House's treatment in "Family," he gets pissed off at Wilson and tells him he's a "coward." He apologizes for this after because it was uncalled for, and Wilson's intentions were good, but nevertheless he was right. This is not me saying that House is a particularly moral individual. If you took a shot every time he violated very basic ethical principles you would die of alcohol poisoning before you reached the second season of the show. But House's concern is his patient's life. In his mind, if his actions save his patient's life, it is ultimately moral. When his team fucks up and risks their patient, he gets pissed off and will humiliate them so they understand the gravity of their mistake.

Specific and niche interests. I mention in my initial post that he has very few interests (mostly General Hospital and his job), but since the first couple seasons I've gotten more a feel for his love of music. He owns live recordings of Elvis on vinyl. He owns more than one guitar (from what I saw of his apartment). Music is kind of his thing. To take that a little further, it seems like he collects things. This is by no means necessarily an autistic trait, but collecting is very common with autistic people who have special interests. I collect Spiderman merchandise, for example.

Resistant to change. I don't think I'd seen the episode yet, but after he's shot at the end of season 2, he insists that the carpet that's been stained with his blood is kept. He goes as far as to annoy everyone incessantly in order to get his carpet back. House is also just generally the kind of person who wants things exactly how he wants them. He doesn't like people messing with his things or for his environment to change, even when the inconvenience is simple and ultimately unimportant. In the last episode of season 3, Wilson says this pretty plainly. House has played the same guitar since eighth grade, driven the same car for ten years, and been living in the same place for fifteen. Change just isn't his thing. It's often hard for autistic people to adapt to significant changes because of the way they process information. Change is overwhelming.

Observant and analytical. When Wilson starts yawning, he doesn't just write this off or explain it, he immediately starts considering every possible reason and deducing why he's yawning. House likes puzzles, and symptomology is his thing. He also definitely violated Wilson's trust by spiking his coffee with amphetamines, but he did so based on a line of logic and reason. This isn't necessarily an autistic characteristic, but it is fairly common among some autistic people to view a course of action or event through the lense of logic rather than considering the emotional consequences. I do this a lot. House is also especially blunt and almost excessively honest. He does lie (obviously), but when it really matters to be honest he will be, and he won't mince his words for people's comfort. This is going back to differences in how he experiences empathy.

This post is honestly probably boring, because I'm really just driving my initial points home. Again, I don't really think that House MD discusses autism in the most meaningful or accurate way, but House feels more authentic to me than actual, intentional autistic representation. Also, some of these things can be attributed to depression or House's problems with attachment; this is just my perspective on some things.

haven’t had a dream in a long time

“but he still talks to him sometimes. especially when no one else will listen.”

featuring: chase, guilt, that ache in his chest that never really goes away.

he was taught to kneel before he could walk.

the prayers were whispered like secrets, threaded between strained silences and stiff collars, a boy tucked into church pews like he might learn discipline through osmosis.

god is watching, he was told.

god loves you, if you’re good enough.

so he tried. he did what they wanted.

he smiled like it didn’t hurt.

because if you earn it — the love, the praise, the place at the table — maybe it means something when they finally look at you.

⸻

(chase doesn’t know if he believes in god anymore.

but he still talks to him sometimes.

especially when no one else will listen.)

⸻

he tells himself he doesn’t care what house thinks; tells himself he’s just doing his job.

he tells himself a lot of things.

but there’s a reason he leans forward when house speaks.

a reason he doesn’t quit, even when he should.

⸻

he wants to be wanted. simple as that.

wants to be chosen, for once —

not as a default. not out of pity.

not because he kept quiet long enough to stay.

⸻

sometimes he still dreams in latin.

asks for forgiveness in the language of his childhood. says please, without really knowing who he’s asking.

⸻

maybe it’s selfish. maybe it’s stupid.

but he thinks he’s earned something good by now.

even if it’s small. even if it’s soft.

even if it’s just someone who looks at him like he’s not a shadow in someone else’s story.

⸻

“please, please, please —

let me get what i want.

lord knows it would be the first time.”

— please, please, please let me get what i want (the dream academy)
