the thing with house is like. firstly it's just ic for neither of them to actually confess they're allergic to honest emotions

but it's also very....... the show had nothing to gain by making house and wilson endgame? its an extremely well established mainstream tv show. sure the gays have been here since day one calling it like we see it, but that wouldn't impact the overall audience????

queerbait is. bait. it's a choice made bc the creators saw an opportunity to cater to a specific audience.

ending a prime time nbc show with the boy best friend main characters driving off into the sunset after making a murder-suicide pact is a choice you make for the Narrative, not catering

#☢️.txt #it feels inevitable partially bc house and wilson were always an inevitability #but s8 sells it further. it establishes that wilson will come back to house again and again even if he attempts vehicular manslaughter #on their mutual friend. even if he fucks everything up for everyone around him. and it establishes that house /cares/ about wilson #that he does take wilsons emotions seriously (putting in extra effort to make sure wilsons patient gets the lungs. despite his own beliefs)#they couldve ended on dominika and i feel like a lot of shows wouldve despite it being a bit lazy #they couldve ended it on house making the deal to do his prison time after wilsons death #they couldve written an ENTIRELY different season that doesnt place house and wilson at the forefront #but they made a deliberate choice to focus on them #and lbr hugh laurie deciding pretty early on to treat the gay jokes as house being semi-serious influenced that
