House M.D. but it's when House says Wilson's name
#house md#gregory house#prince's talk tag#after almost two weeks of going through the transcripts of every episode I finally finish this and the Wilson version#first off thank you to the clinic-duty team on livejournal for making the transcripts for these episodes#because this video would be near impossible to make without their clear transcripts. I hope y'all are doing well#ive been reading a lot of fics with these two and i see how the authors have the characters refer to each other in their fics#and that got me wondering how much do they say each other's name in the show and how do they refer to each other#since this is the house video ill put his stats here#s1 was 19 times s2 was 31 s3 was 34 s4 was 30 s5 was 35 s6 was 58 s7 was 25 and s8 was 28#in total he says his name 260 times. Mostly refers to him just by Wilson#He's only said Wilson's first name 7 times. Once by Jim 3 by Jimmy and 3 by James#He'll use his full name in professional settings or to be sarcastic or to pretend to be him#You know since House is the main character and in every episode of the show i thought he'd say his name more than him#but Wilson beats him by 42 times bc s7 and s8 he doesn't say his name as much. it took Wilson getting cancer for him to say it more#than he was before that point

New Age Au (Nighttime Worries)
Okay remember how I said I'd be back? Yeah. I'm unwell. This is a shorter one that I think could definitely be approved upon, but I live for posting drabbles so 🫡🫡 good luck soldiers <3
This is an Error pov set maybe a month or two after Night became small.
Also @ancha-aus and @papiliovolens and @mutzelputz ! Welcome back! :]
"Nightmare?" Error's voice broke through the blackness of the space outside his workshop. The inside wasn't much brighter, a few loose blue strings being the only thing giving the room a faint glow. "What're you doing up here so late?"
There was no point in titles right now. Error had always been pretty bad about using then, but especially now that the king was... younger than him. Now that Nightmare was smaller.
Besides, it was the middle of the night, up in the top room of a fairly tall tower. He was the only one who came up here, and he'd know if there was anyone aside from Nightmare around.
The King had come to his door, and now stood outside it. He had his cloak wrapped at his shoulders, but Error was pretty sure he could see the soft, thin, purple of his sleepwear. He didn't even see Night's mask. It was just that soft white eyelight peering up at him in the dark.
"I... I'm not sure." Nightmare replied quietly.
Error let a breath pass between them.
Silence.
"You're not sure?" Error repeated incredulously.
Surely Nightmare wasn't visiting for no reason. Surely the king hadn't just popped by far into the night for fun.
Nightmare seemed to clutch at his cloak a bit tighter.
"I was in my study reading over documents, and I mentioned being thirsty, so Dust left to go get Ccino up and have him make something." He explained, then. The words coming quickly. "They took longer than I expected, so I moved to go meet them, but-" His breath quickened.
Error was piecing it together now. The stiffness. The rapid way he'd grabbed for the strings which would alert Error to his presence.
"I swore someone was following me, and you were the nearest." He finished, his eyelight dragging away to gaze back at the stairs behind him.
They were cold, and unwelcoming, and curved shortly out of sight into a dark pit. Away from Error's guiding lights.
Error gazed at Nightmare as he gathered a few more strings from his sockets. The magic spooled and glowed between his fingers, growing bright enough to cast Nightmare's shadow. Long and tall. Like his old form.
He wasn't focusing much on that, though. More, the dark circles that seemed to be under Nightmare's sockets. They made him look so weary, and sad. Tired.
"Well, I can tell you no one followed you up here. I'd know." Error offered him the quick comfort, and watched as Nightmare gave a hesitant little nod. Though, he couldn't seem to draw his gaze away.
It was like he was straining to hear any little noise. See any hidden face in the darkness.
Error sighed to himself.
Internally, of course. He wasn't that comfortable around the king. If only because he doubted the jumpy ruler would appreciate a fond sigh in the midst of his worry.
He'd heard from Ccino that Nightmare tended to get worried, and seen it enough times now that he had been spending more time outside his workshop.
"We should go back to your study, your highness." Error suggested, his strings already flying behind him, clutching and wrapping at his current project. Pulling it towards him, slinging in a satchel to hold tight to his side.
Nightmare glanced back to him briefly. In worry.
"If Ccino and Dust are both up and they get back to find you missing?" He asked loosely, "They're going to turn the castle upside down."
Something in that seemed to register for Nightmare, because he seemed to jolt and look fully towards Error.
"You're accompanying me?"
Error really held in that fond sigh this time. He cursed himself for picking up on that habit from his brothers.
"Sure. I mean, who am I to deny a chance to work in the study again?" He joked, before changing his tone slightly. "Plus, I have my magic. Anyone following you would be dusted before they could try anything."
This seemed to finally reassure Nightmare enough.
Error didn't think about Night's past all that often. He certainly thought of the king, but never what led him to feel so vulnerable. He figured it wasn't just that loss of magic.
Error stepped out of his workshop and stood beside Nightmare on the small landing.
They were very close. Close enough that Error's bones fizzled with the ghost of pressure as Nightmare's robe fell into one of Error's arms.
He flinched away, and Nightmare did the same with a quick little 'apologies'.
They stood there a moment, collecting themselves, before Error started down.
The stairs were long, and cold, and Error regretted his choice to not slip on his sandals before exiting his workshop, but there was no way he was turning around and being a big baby about it.
He kept a sense on Nightmare. His shoes clicked quietly and diligently against the tone, Light little patters just behind him.
Error remembered a time when he used to move in complete silence. He preferred it like this.
The steps were illuminated in blue magic, a Cyan coating every crack and crevice, giving them a little bubble of sight coming directly from Error's hand where he held the wad of illuminating magic.
It wasn't a very long trip. Not at all. But the quite felt tense and nervous. Error figured it was just Nightmare's worries feeding into his own tired energy. He'd not slept yet either.
Soon enough they came to the break in the hall, where the arch to the stairway intercepted the main hallway between the Twin's wing (the one where Nightmare resided with the Knights) and the rest of the castle.
Error hadn't realized how true it was that Night must've panicked halfway to his destination and rushed up to Error.
The hall was quiet so far, and devoid of people, so he led the charge into the wide, cold space.
The floors here had nice rugs lining the center, and he hopped onto the island of comfort away from the ruthless stone. Nightmare followed him swiftly.
He tried to appear comfortable, because he could tell Nightmare was staring. He always did that when he was trying to figure something out.
Something about feeling emotions when he was big and goopy. He couldn't do it anymore.
"Still clear." Error reported, and Nightmare nodded again.
They moved towards Nightmare's wing.
Error hadn't been here long, but he knew that Nightmare's wing was where he had his room, one he's had since childhood, his study, and the rooms where his knights had all eventually ended up.
It wasn't separated by a physical barrier, but no one dared to go into it unless they were invited by Night or the Knights. Or Ccino.
Error has had permission since first arriving, Nightmare insisting if he needed anything he could come searching. Error had never taken the offer before all this.
Of course, now was different.
Now the king was small, and his age, and they were friends. Or, he hoped they were, at least.
They moved quietly down the hall, passing rooms Error figured held Nightmare's resting elite guard. Or, maybe they were all off doing projects. He was pretty sure Cross was the only one with a decent sleep schedule among them.
Regardless, there wasn't any sign of movement, no other souls anywhere in the stretch of hall.
When they arrived to the study door, it was slightly ajar.
Error held out an arm, halting both himself and Nightmare just outside. A glance revealed Nightmare was surprised to see the door open.
Nightmare always closed doors behind him. It was a force of habit Error had seen plenty of times.
"Dust?" Nightmare tentatively called out.
Thank the gods Nightmare has faith in his knights. The thought that Dust might be inside hadn't even crossed is mind.
Error flinched slightly as the door swung inwards, revealing Dust.
He seemed to scan the hall, quickly taking in the scene. Error, standing partially between Night and the door. Night unharmed.
"My lord, you had me worried." Dust said quietly, that voice low and almost a mumble.
He moved out into the hall, past the two of them.
Dust was short. Nearly shorter than Nightmare. He'd apparently never been tall, if the joking he'd heard was to be believed.
Nightmare muttered an apology, quietly, and Error grumbled a bit to himself as Nightmare started around him, towards the study.
He followed, quickly moving from carpet to stone to carpet again.
He stayed on the ground just long enough for Nightmare to get comfortable on one of his sofas, where a few documents were strewn, before pulling himself and his project up into the air. To the small platform of strings he'd been constructing among the rafters of the high-ceiling.
"Nightmare, you alright?" Dust questioned more quietly once he shut the door, "Why'd you leave?"
Error watched from his perch as Nightmare sunk in on himself a bit. Though he didn't flinch away as Dust took up a spot on the nearest chair.
"I thought I heard something, so I came to find you." He said smally. "But I thought I heard it again in the hall, and I wasn't sure how far away you had gone to find Ccino, so- so I rushed up to Error's workshop instead of coming back."
Dust seemed to think about it for a second, before he nodded to himself. Error couldn't see his eyelights thanks to the angle.
"Alright, I understand." He said simply, "I apologize for leaving you alone like that."
Nightmare just nodded a bit to himself, turning back to his papers.
"It's alright. Error brought me back safely." He said, then.
Error was glad he was up in his perch, because Nightmare's voice was very nice when he was calm. And it felt really nice to have Nightmare speak highly of him. He tried not to react as he saw Dust lift his skull and squint up at his platform among the shadowy rafters.
He stuck a hand out, the one with the strings still glowing around it, and gave a thumbs up to the knight.
He was well aware the Knights weren't all that trusting of him. But, then again Error was the newest one, and seemingly someone Nightmare had decided to trust all on his own.
Though, Dust seemed different. He just nodded and focused again on Nightmare. He didn't chastise him for sticking around or bother him to come down.
In the ensuing silence, Error got to work unraveling his project from his satchel.
The glowing string moved about to light the dim space, as a few well-placed pulls allowed the pieces of his work to gently spread out onto the woven ground of his platform.
Several arrowheads were spread before him, a few shafts discarded to the side. Each arrow point was covered in different magical layers, some looser than others, some more obvious.
Error had been working for a bit now on an idea he'd had when he first got to the town where the wizards had been setting up for the King's arrival. To impress him, and hopefully be hired.
One of those people had been accompanied by an archer, and their showing had been of magic-tipped arrows that could harness blue magic once they were stuck inside, forcing an enemy to a full stop if they were hit.
It was a clever idea, but it was a one-trick show, and could only be used by the monster shooting them because they had a blue soul trait. Humans, non-patience monsters, they'd be out of luck.
Error wanted to try something like that, but better. Use pre-made arrows and find a way to easily coat them in his magic. His strings always stayed, and the potency always remained strong, no matter how far away he was. He'd not realized that back at school, when he was testing something at his house, and accidentally set a room on fire back at the academy with strings he'd left behind.
Though, progress had been slow. It was hard to work with materials he didn't make, but it made no sense to craft them from scratch himself, it'd be a waste of time to make enough for the entire guard, especially since arrows were a one-time use.
The ones he'd made technically worked, but the strings either dulled the point, or loosened on impact and were easy to pull out. He needed them to stay put.
Oh.
An idea rushed into his head, and he scooped up one of his unused arrowheads, spinning it between his fingers, before collecting more of his magic and getting to work on his idea.
It didn't take long, not at all, but it took just long enough that he hadn't noticed Ccino enter the room.
Error rolled to the edge of his platform, leaning over a bit, to spot that Ccino was now sat on the couch beside Nightmare, the king tucked into the older skeleton's side. Was he shivering?
Error figured that, just maybe, Nightmare wouldn't be in the mood to look at his deadly magical weapon right this second. He was fine with that, he'd just show him tomorrow. Or whenever he visited again.
Before he could commit to rolling back out of sight, he found his eyelights meeting Ccino's over Nightmare's skull.
"Oh, Error!" He greeted quietly. Ccino was always careful around him. Not unkind. "Would you like some tea? Dust's not having any, so I have an extra cup."
The offer was surprising, and Error debated.
Sure, why the hell not. He hadn't had tea in a while, and should probably drink something.
He wordlessly rolled off his platform, one hand ensuring strings dropped him gently to the carpet behind the couch that Nightmare and Ccino were sat on.
Ccino smiled at him, gently nudging Nightmare to sit up so that he could pour a new cup.
When Night straightened, he wiped at his sockets before turning around to face Error. One hand held his tea gently, the other was free and braced against the wooden couch back.
It seemed like he was going to say something, when he blinked and focused in on Error's hand.
"Oh! You were working on a project?" He asked quietly, and Error internally cursed his habits.
He still had the arrowhead loosely draped from strings in his other hand. He hadn't even realized it. It was just easier to not forget where he put things if he kept hold of them.
"Yeah. It's... not finished yet. This is just the best version I have right now." He said, lifting his hand up so that Nightmare could see it better.
By proxy, the other two could see it as well. Ccino returned with the cup, and held it out on its saucer to Error over the back of the couch.
He didn't seem offended when Error used strings to grip it and hold it. It was easier to keep from spilling, and free up his hands as he did other tasks. He had better awareness with his strings than he did his normal body.
"Mm. Magic arrows, like from the Wizard Tryouts?" Dust spoke up from his seat a bit further away.
Nightmare blinked in surprise as he seemed to be reminded of that showing. Then his brow furrowed. "Didn't you say that those were poorly designed?"
It was true, Error had given a full report on why he hadn't been impressed by anyone else at the showing once he was hired. He was surprised Nightmare's remembered it.
"Those ones had shit design, yes." He confirmed, flicking his wrist so the strings shortened and pulled the arrow closer to his palm. "These ones aren't custom-made. It's your regular everyday arrow with a sleeve that wraps tight to the arrowhead."
He couldn't help himself as he stepped a bit closer to the couch. "The ideal design would be something that stays on when entering the target, but remains in the wound after the arrow is removed." His strings shifted, he used his free hand to point to a band of bright blue wrapped around the center of it. "This version adds barbs to the edges, so as long as it stayed on until it hit the target, it would leave blue magic behind, dug into the wound"
He jostled his hand a bit so the string would allow it to spin a bit. "Of course, this sort of design would only work being made of my magic, but if I made enough tiny sleeves anyone in the guard could have some nasty archery shots."
He was grinning. He always got excited when he got to explain his creations. They were his pride and joy.
"Gods, that's... a little terrifying, kid." Dust said with a weary chuckle.
Error's offense, though, was quickly overridden by a motion from Night.
The King reached a hand out to gently cup under the arrow as it swung to a stop.
"I think it's very clever!" The King said slightly, eyelight plastered on the prototype weapon, "It's far more efficient than training our magic users in blue magic, and would certainly take enemies out with less arrow cost and man-power on our end."
That was exactly it. Error was always relieved when the two of them were on the same page.
"You were right Error, your design is far more impressive than that man's was." Error was less relieved when he recieved a compliment. It always felt jarring and undeserved.
And yet Nightmare always seemed to genuine.
"Of course it's better, my liege." He said, grinning as he retracted his hand. The arrow moving with it. "It hasn't been tested, though, so I'll need to continue working on it before we can be sure." He redirected, trying very hard to hope he hadn't blushed at the kind words.
Nightmare hummed, "Right. I'm sure we can arrange for a few archers to try them out once you're ready." He agreed gently. "Thank you for sharing your design early, Error. It's always a treat."
Ohh. Nightmare why infront of the others??
Error nodded, "I'll let you know when I think I have the perfect version to test." He agreed, before stepping away to let his strings tug him back up into the darkness, along with his newly acquired tea.
The others spoke for a bit longer below, but Error hardly listened. His cheekbones were surely flushed, and his hands shook a bit. He had to reply on pure stubbornness to continue improving on the design and not get caught up in the thoughts of how much he enjoyed Nightmare's company.
He just had to get this right.
#new age au#I like that I never take the time to tag this as anything besides the au name lmao-#anyways. yeah#Error is so funny to me. bro has self worth issues from being told to suppress his magic and make 'useful' things the 'right' way for so#long by adults that now that he has Nightmare who's very very invested in every weapon that would very much be considered a war crime that#he makes? he's learning to balance his pride and his anxiety.#also the others are... worried. often. but Error hasn't killed anyone or exploded the castle yet soooo. they don't have a place to judge#this goofy 15 y/o out here crushing on the king and being a recluse <3#also I'm hoping I remembered everyone who wanted to be tagged? my memory is so so awful-#okay that's all. y'all have a lovely day! i'm off to go do things!#(Ancha's fic beamed this idea directly into my brain btw. no joke. like a brick thru my window as I'm peacefully trying to read -)

Oh, fuck on a stick, I had about 30 seconds during which I thought I might be capable of reading other people's Hazbin fic, and so I sorted the radiostatic tag by kudos, and that's how I found out that tWO OF MY 666 FICS are on the ship's front page?!
Me: Oh, this fandom is so active even in my own little corner of it! How nice it is, that so many people take the time to leave comments!
"My own little corner": [located in the cross-section of a six-lane interstate, fucking apparently, and yet here I am wondering where all the traffic is coming from!]
#personal#bird if you haven't looked yet you're gonna cry when you learn where static shock is#ANYWAY BACK TO NOT READING *JACK!!!!*#i'm gonna keep living in a universe where i have no idea how i sit in relation to popular tropes and headcanons for a while longer#and pretend that i'm not suddenly aware that i am probably setting some of them#to be clear i've always known the numbers on my own fics but I've been making a point of not looking at them in relation to ANY OTHER NUMBE#and I am going to go back to doing that but PHEW <3#love y'all holy shit x))

who are some of your favorite fanfic authors?
oh god this is such a hard question bc I'm really bad at keeping track of fics I like. I really should use the bookmarks function, but I do not <3
of the fic writers I can actually remember, I've got a couple from various fandoms I've been in the past few years! for hlvrai, it's absolutely @localdisasterisk. their narrative voice is so distinct and yet matches each character they write so perfectly, and I adore their dialogue. Scorched Grounds is to this day one of the funniest fics I've ever read. even if you know nothing about hlvrai, you should read this fic because it is hysterical. also risk has done the impossible, which is to incorporate ocs into fanfiction in a way that not only makes me care about them, but also makes me cry about them. what the fuck.
in the mp100 fandom, @scribefindegil definitely takes the cake. I'm realizing this is revealing what I really look for in a good fanfiction, but just like what I said for risk, scribe's narrative voice is fantastic and matches the pov characters spectacularly well. also scribe's handle on the themes™ and tone and tension?? chef's kiss. The Brassica Heresy is a masterpiece of vegetable based horror, but I'm especially partial to In Case Of Emergency because I love the ensemble cast and I really like the non-espers having to solve a psychic problem
also I haven't been able to keep up with most of the fics bc they've been coming out at a dizzying rate, but @thatneoncrisis deserves a shoutout for doing truly insane shit in the locked tomb fandom. no one is doing it like quinn. it's amazing. go read We Have Always Lived in the Apartment, it is truly something special
#asks#anonymous#this is just an excuse to brag about my talented friends <3#there are people who write good and fun fanfiction#and then there are people who are on another fucking level as writers#and these three are absolutely on another level#y'all are amazing#i haven't gotten deep enough into mdzs fanfiction yet to say I have a favorite writer#though el_em_en_oh_pee might be a current favorite bc i'm eagerly gobbling up their trans fics#but I really haven't read enough to say i have a favorite yet#but yeah. go check these authors and fics out!#i realized while writing these descriptions that I think my favorite thing a writer can do#is have a distinct narrative voice that matches the characters + tone + source material#if you've got a good narrative voice i am THERE

I love as much as everyone the portrayals of the party quickly accepting Will and Mike being in a relationship, or even guessing something was going on, but have you considered the potential of other portrayals? and just to be clear, no, i'm not talking about homophobia. i 100% believe no one would be, as the homophobes in ST have always been the bad guys.
I'm talking about stuff like the initial shock and having to process it. because yeah, if you think about it, it makes sense. But they had never, not even once considered it. It would be like "how did we miss the clues? it was right in front of our eyes, everything makes so much sense now".
Or them being a little awkward, not bc it's two guys, but because it's Will and Mike and they were initially a party of four. They've known each other for a long time, so when two of your childhood best friends become a couple, dynamics are bound to change. We see this trope all the time in media about straight group friends!
Or Mike and Will being reluctant to act like a couple in front of them, even after telling them, because they don't want to 'make them uncomfortable'. So they act just like friends and Lucas and Dustin find that even weirder than if they just behaved like any other couple.
Or any of the members of the party asking questions about being gay, out of genuine curiosity. And it's a little awkward because they wanna make Will and Mike feel included, but it's the 80's and there's a lack of accessible, non-bigoted information. But turns out they dont know either, it's not like they suddenly became gay experts, it's new for them too! and that's okay. ("We know as much as you do, dude")
Or them trying to be the best allies of the entire world, just because they're their friends and they love them, and they know what the bullies and some people say. And Mike and Will having mixed feelings about it, because on one hand, it's nice how they're so supportive, but they aren't so keen on constantly hearing the bs other people say and how wrong they are (they already know), and it becomes exhausting. So they have to gently let them know, they're still the same people with the same interests; "i know you guys are super cool about us and want to show support but that doesn't mean i want to watch this movie about a hate crime/gay love story with sad ending during movie night. can we just please watch back to the future or something."
What i'm saying is, there's endless possibilities! thinking about them navigating their friendship post coming out is fascinating to me and there are not enough fics that develop that aspect (but if you know any, please let me know!)
#byler#will byers#mike wheeler#lucas sinclair#dustin henderson#the party#and i'm also saying . i doubt they go into detail when it eventually happens on the show#so it would be!!! amazing!!! to read it in fics!!!#i wish i could write in english it would be over for y'all</3

Stede was about to sigh more, to offer up further theatrics, to playfully banter as they so often did…
Yet one word, a single word, seemed to carry more moment-shattering power than the entire crew combined. World-shattering power, really.
Because…what had Ed called him?
Stede is caught off-guard when Ed uses a new pet name on him, one that hits a little too close to home.

i still cannot believe that people actually read my posts. case in point: i got this notification (from @tumblemumbler, thank you) and laughed until there were tears.
it's true: i want to take fox mulder to the zoo. i'm guilty as charged. i wanna point at some lions and be like "woah", and see if he thinks the lions are amazing, or if he tries to play it cool and deny that sense of wonder you get from seeing a magnificent beast. is it so wrong to want to take a full grown man out to see the Creatures, and then watch him enjoy the gift shop.......? to find a nice little novelty tie with the funniest animal from the day on it...? to say, hey fictional man, let's put aside that decades long quest for answers on the existence of aliens, and marvel at some otters splashing about... now wouldn't that be lovely?
#in my head this is just my little diary no one reads so going through tags and comments are sososo fun#because we are experiencing a Thing communally! which is the best!#and i have to say everyone has been SO kind and funny and helpful and great about how i'm trying to avoid spoilers#so thank you to everyone who comments or reblogs i have fun seeing your commentary on my commentary!!!#i also of course think scully should go to the zoo but it's just that mulder has that energy where i think he really needs it more#now scully on the other hand i think she needs to go to a museum. neeeeeed to hear her takes on modern art.#give her something to really think about and ponder the place of humanity now vs in the past. what it means to be alive. is it to create?#i know she would have a deep and profound reaction to seeing an everyday object from 3000 years ago and i want to share that with her#and with her litany of biology facts i think that there is no choice but to take her to the science museum to look at dinosaurs and dodos#you will not find all of these things in one museum which is why we need to go to a bunch of them#when i get further in y'all i WILL write a fic where our duo goes to a museum and also a zoo. i want to have a better characterization firs#like a beach episode level scenario. i'll look into real museums in the DC area in the 90's and everything.#we'll see. we'll get there <3

Ain't done this in a while but it's sorely needed because I have had A Week. So, if anyone has any spare serotonin lying around and would like to share, through the form of asks, it would be greatly appreciated.
#Distract me from everything please?#I'll take whatever you got - questions headcanons good news something that made you happy today - anything#Because it's Sad Bitch O'Clock in this household and booooooooooy do I feel completely and utterly alone#And I don't have my usual coping mechanism of writing and silly AU ideas because my motivation has gone all *explosion noise*#Since I'm not into anything AEW's putting out right now so I've got no inspiration#And I can't make myself write any of my OrangeHook ideas since no one cares about them anymore#And my ol' standby copium of that self-indulgent Chricky AU I was writing isn't going anywhere I have made no progress as of late#Because it looks like it's gone from ''Maybe two people will read this but we'll have fun with it at least!''#To ''Nobody is going to read this and I'd just be embarrassing myself so what's the fucking point?''#And of course there's soooooo much non-fic related stuff going wrong currently but I don't feel like boring y'all with any of that shit#...honestly I probably shouldn't have gone a big ol' rant here because come on Sam#If you read all these tags...jeez I'm sorry 😬 But yeah if you wanna help distract me for a brief moment it'd be much appreciated <3#In the meantime I'll just be over here listening to Interpol and questioning all life choices that lead me to this sorry state
