Call me crazy for reading so much into a show like House MD but I think the main theme of House is that despite doing everything perfectly and being a good person, shit happens.
Sickness and pain will be inflicted on you and your loved ones and there's nothing you can do about it, but to persevere, to fight for your life, to keep living despite it all - to love is a part of the human condition; our capability of love is what makes life worth living, despite all the pain that you will inevitably experience.
This show exemplifies the pain of living and the needs and desires of human beings to keep going despite it all
And idk... There's something beautiful about how a show with so many stupid whimsical dumb scenes can impart something so profound in my stupid little brain

“I told you, a very long time ago, that I would destroy this place, everything you hold dear, and I’m going to follow through on that promise,” Hels breathed in, “Because a knight never says something he doesn’t believe to be true."
Hey. You. Yeah you. Come here. Closer. Closer.

Ridonculous Race but Noah is friends with Owen part 8: Where would I be without you?
I am holding back on yelling for ten paragraphs about this moment in rr proper. Instead I will say that I made Emma outright say she can’t be with Noah cause I feel like adding the “not on the show” part does not warrant such a strong reaction. Also Owen tries so hard. He cares so much and tries so hard and it’s borderline therapeutic to draw Noah reciprocating the efforts (in his own silly ways)
It’s also been a full year since I’ve initially started this series! Happy Birthday, Noah is friends with Owen!
Transcript:
Image 1
Emma: I like you!! A lot!
Emma: But…
Image 2
Emma: …I can’t be with you. I’m sorry.
Image 3
Owen: Oh boy.
Image 4
Don: Reality TV schmos- I mean “Pros”…
Don: I’m afraid you’re last. It’s time to go…
Image 5
Don: …Is what I would have said if this were an elimination round, but it isn’t!
Image 6
Don, offscreen: Congratulations, guys! You’re still in the game!
Image 7
Owen: Noah…? You ok, buddy?
Noah: I… Uhm…
Image 8
Noah: …Ow.
Image 9
Owen: Aww, Noah!!
Owen: Don’t worry- it might hurt now, but things will get better! I promise!!
Image 10
Owen: Besides… There’s ton of other fish in the sea. Like this one!
Owen, in cursive: I wuv you, Noah! Kissy kissy, mwah mwah mwah!
Noah: Ew. No thank you.

As an immigrant who grew up in a popular vacation spot, I really appreciate Mut talking about the struggles of the locals
The only people who can afford to vacation where I do are rich people or those with families here. I grew up with a mother who cleaned the houses of rich people, never any mansions, but I know plenty of others who've done that. I grew up with a father who worked at a grocery store (very) frequented by tourists on their way to the beach. I worked as a camp counselor for celebrities and upperclass as a teen.
The messes I've seen. And no, the tourists don't care for the locals. It's like we live in separate worlds. They don't go to the family owned restaurants. They go to the high end ones where everything is $50+. They also have the option of going to the less conveniently located specialty grocery store.
They don't live in a small overpriced houses that locals can't afford to buy. They buy the large houses they only use for 2 months of the year and have local immigrant mothers clean the place that has dirty laundry tossed around randomly cause they were in a rush to head to the beach. Their gardens and homes are built by immigrant men who wait by the side of a 7-eleven to be picked up on the morning by passing trucks. And I can tell you none of these people are paid well.
Them buying these houses are also the reason landlords charge so much. Cause they know someone can and will pay, but it's not locals. Not to mention no local that doesn't come from old fishermen families (or the local upperclass families) can afford boats much less yachts. Yet the amount of boats I see at every port (gotta be at least 10 of them in 3 towns)...
I have respect for Mut, cause I know the bullshit locals have to put up with when it comes to tourists. People like Mut probably have it worse than I do. So even more respect.
