Spoilers: ending of House md

It's comforting to me to know that Hugh Laurie said House was not long for this world as well, and the director and others saying that season 8 would be the last.

Wilson is always there. He'll leave sometimes, or won't be there for a couple of episodes (months or a year in House timelime), but he comes back. It is clear throughout the story that there is no House without Wilson. House cannot exist without Wilson in the narrative, and it's beautiful that the show ends with the both of them riding off into the sunset. Season 9 cannot exist because if Wilson isn't there, then House won't be either.

I think the House pfp makes me like you a lot more, lol. /srs

We love our very problematic but extremely, sometimes painfully, unflinchingly honest and mostly accurate portrayal of (SPOILERSSSSSS) canon ASPD. Tbh, one of the few accurate portrayals I've seen and the only one that doesn't cover it up with "but he's a good person" or "but they learn to love and change their ways and no longer are like that yay they're cured" or pair the representation with a side of demonization. Special interest infodump below:

We know House does bad things, but in light of that, the show forces you to stare in the face the questions: What does it mean to be a bad person? If it's your intentions, do your bad actions not matter? If it's your actions, do your intentions not matter? Does the effort not to hurt people in spite of your pain and trauma and maladaptive worldview not matter, no matter how hard you try, if you fail? How many failures is considered "being human" and how many makes it "being a bad human"? Does a good or bad person even exist with how fluid and nuanced life and human nature is? Can you, as a fellow flawed human, define a good or bad person and if so what gives you the right? The show demands you look at this man with low empathy and learn to feel for him whether you like it or not. And so many prosocials completely misunderstand the show and paint him as the antagonist when the entire point of the show is (imo) to humanize the people you shove into the "bad" box. Also hhhh I hate the people who say "House is autistic that's why he acts like this!" Nope nope nope he is literally diagnosed with ASPD. Do I think he's got autism too? Possibly, but I think he may understand social cues, body language, subtext, etc too well for it to be that. I would personally guess ASPD+ADHD+MDD. One of his major specialties is dissecting the social boundaries not because the doesn't understand them, but to show the blind spots they leave, the disservice they do us. He knows what he does is against the norm, he knows he doesn't speak like the people around him and he knows how to do it right. He just *doesn't* because he finds value in removing that and finds no value in others' opinions on him. He knows he is seen as terrible and does not care to change it, not because (imo) he was not accepted as a person but because he was traumatized against people as a whole. See also, MIA and unknown father, questionable mother, shitty stepfather, and all the things he hints at but does not tell us outright. House is a lot of things, but socially unaware is not one of them, and whilst there are autistic people like that who are prosocial, I think the show addressed this clearly in the early episode of the autistic (they used the n*zi term but I will not) child who gives him the PSP or gameboy or whichever it was. House sees some of himself in that child, but it is clearly addressed that it's not quite right - that House relates but does not seem to click properly with being autistic. However, in the "soci*path" patient episode, House heavily struggles to separate himself from her, and finds himself repeatedly coming up empty on reasons they aren't the same. In fact, when he finds out it is reversible, it seems to me like he is simultaneously glad to have figured out the puzzle - and maybe to save her from his suffering - and distressed and jealous that she gets to get out of this. She will get to meet people who did not know her that way and be like them and feel like them and feel like one of them. Unlike in the autism episode, the characters around him seem to believe he has it as well. If he is autistic, he has ASPD as well - diagnosed in fact.

It's such a damn good show.

You did not ask for my (as restrained as possible) infodump about House, MD but you activated my special interest trap card.

why the fuck does everyone hate dr park? I'm only 20 minutes into her first episode but she's awesome

[duck-in-a-spaceship]

I have so many thoughts about Wilson buying furniture.

Like, okay, House decides they need furniture. This is fair, I'm pretty sure all they have at the time is a T.V. stand and a couch, they're living like frat boys. Frat boys with a shit ton of money and a very nice condo, but still. Wilson tells House to do it, so House tells Wilson to do it, so Wilson does it. Why? Because House calls him out.

"Your friends, your job, your furniture, it all defines you."

"Buy some furniture, or admit you're empty inside."

Picking out furniture is something that requires, on a teeny tiny level, knowing who you are, just enough to know what kind of tables you like, and how much seating you think is appropriate for the living room. House is giving it a lot of meaning here, sure, but that's kind of just what he does. Overanalyze. Decide that decorating is equivalent to defining your entire existence.

And so that's what Wilson heads out to do. Buy some tables, and define his entire existence.

He fails miserably, of course.

He has no clue what he's doing. He doesn't even know what some of this shit is. He nearly tries to buy a patio table for his dining room. Half of these chairs completely and utterly BAFFLE him. And so he gives up and hires a decorator.

He chooses, in the logic the show has set up, not to define himself. At least, not like this, not by House's games, not by a couch and some chairs. Everything in there is devoid of meaning.

Except the organ. Except the gift for House.

Because in the end, that's how Wilson decides to define himself. Through his love for House.

reading all these thinkpieces abt how succession’s finale was groundbreaking storytelling makes me feel crazy

[gatitobladee]

started season 5...many thoughts about house and wilson.... i dont remember the episode number but that episode when 13 came out (^_^)(why couldnt it be cameron my bestfriend cameron) it feels like someone in the writers room is just kind of fucking with the viewers you know. like the way roberto aguirre-sacasa was fucking with riverdale like you can feel a queer presence. but i'm not a fan i wont google that. i really like how i cant ship those 2 bc theyre literally too close, it really makes you realize that intuitively you know romance needs secrets, taboos etc even when youre best friends with your partner because romance is feeling intrigued by someone. theyre closer to that kind of friendship thats a bit too close and to intensive and that is usually reserved for girls/young women and it's soooo interesting how they wrote it in this particular way. this show is so invested in characters fucking with each others psyches but you cant write 2 men who do that in our culture without it feeling gay (thats why they have to put the gay jokes every 2 seconds because its impossible not to get the imoression so that you know that theyre funny and self aware) but it also isnt gay at all but it is bc it's powerplay so it's sex. so it's sex with your bestfriendforever. anyway i loved the Amber episodes shit was absurd but good i like how as a person shes more interesting than house bc theres more than 1 side to her because of her kindness i love how it impacted wilson him not enabling house anymore is actually interesting (what wil happennnn next) i cant believe this show is kind of good sometimes

[aymethyst]

I technically haven’t watched the last episode yet but literally house and Wilson driving away is where I want it to end tho I’m the back of my head ik once Wilson is gone house will have literally nothing and no one to live for and will probably “accidentally” od/side effects catch up to him/die of a broken heart shortly after

HOUSE MD SPOILERS below the cut

I just LOVE the ending. I hate it, but I love it and I want to talk about why it was actually so fucking good.

Tbh I love that Wilson, not House, is the one diagnosed with cancer.

Like it would have been so easy to end on the tempting note of House's actions having consequences and his drug use wrecking his body to the point of precancerous conditions that manfiest into the death he craved and nearly saw several times in the series, but they didn't. They could have given the character who is too disabled to exercise and has a diet of drugs and alcohol the cancer, but they didnt.

They said, no, the one who eats well and exercises regularly gets cancer. The one who blow dries his hair every morning and never does drugs(except the times he was roofied by House) and takes care of himself is diagnosed with terminal cancer and there is nothing to be done.

Because that's how cancer is. You can be in the best physical and mental shape of anyone and still lose to cancer, and fast. Sometimes the guy who eats nothing but fast food and has never checked his bmi will be the one whose organs last longer than his friend who eats balanced meals everyday and never done a thing to harm his body. Because that's how cancer is.

Cancer doesn't spare you because you're supposed to be the Watson to his Sherlock. Cancer doesn't spare you because you're an oncologist. Cancer doesn't spare you because your friend is the one who does drug and youre clean. Cancer doesnt spare you because all your meals were homecooked and made with your body's health in mind.

In this story, Sherlock fakes his death so Watson won't have to die alone. Because even the best detective is rendered useless in the face of his best friend's cancer.

I love that the story stuck to its guns and shot Wilson in the dead center of his clavicle.

Because "Cancer is Boring".

For a show that never stops trying to one up itself every episode to come up with the most insane medical conditions, ending it with the patient being Wilson, and the prognosis being simple, boring cancer was the best choice I think they could have made even if I hated it.

Because I wanted Wilson to live, I wanted House to turn around and find some crazy thing that would mean he is okay and it never happened. Wilson was just going to die, because it's cancer.

Simple and boring, but heavy and painful. I wanted Wilson to live, just like everyone who has lost a loved one to cancer wanted them to live, for a doctor to find something else and make it all better, but that's not what cancer is.

And for it to end on that note, really solidified this show in my brain as one to be remembered. Because, despite everything in the series, all the metaphors to geniuses and God and brilliance and remarkable feats, this show is true to itself to ALWAYS cut House down to a broken man again.

He gets his old flame back, and he still loves her, but it won't take long for that to end bitterly.

He does experimental medication, it fixes his pain and he can do the thing he loves again(running/jogging) and he ends up broken in his bathtub pulling tumors from his leg and ultimately has to call someone to help him.

He gets goes to rehab, gets clean, and wins the love of the main female lead, but he falls off, he gets suicidal, he loses her, and then he goes to jail.

He helps people while in jail, then he gets out of jail, he fixes his relationship with his best friend, he helps people at his old job, his best and only friend is diagnosed with terminal cancer, he lands himself in a burning building while tripping hard and takes that chance to throw everything away for this friend who will only be with him a few more months.

At the beginning, middle, and end of the show it really says "God doesn't limp."

Dr. Gregory House is just a man.

Semifinals, Match 1

Dr. Gregory House and Dr. James Wilson (House MD)

VS

Shauna Sadecki née Shipman and Jackie Taylor (Yellowjackets)

The Gist (spoilers for both shows):

Described by some as 'JohnLock for people with nothing wrong with them'. An obnoxious, anti-social jackass who is tragically a prodigy of medicine, and the one doctor in the world willing to overlook all that and treat him with an ounce compassion, House included. House's therapist once diagnose that he had to keep living with Wilson for his mental health. When Wilson is dying of cancer, House fakes his own death so he can be with him in his last months without the distraction of his medical practice.

Two members of the same soccer team in high school. A plane ride meant to take them to nationals tragically crashed, and the team had to survive in the woods for months, during which the once strong friendship between Shauna and Jackie is tested. Jackie calls Shauna hot suspiciously often, and eventually freezes to death due to petty drama. Most of the series takes place 25 years after all this, wherein Shauna is extremely, viscerally not over it yet. Visions are argued with. Graves are defiled. Flesh is consumed. Marriages are destroyed from within. It's grisly and also beautiful.

Remember: we're not asking who is more romantically involved, or who you ship harder. These teams are here under the premise that they are not romantically or sexually involved, but the relationship they DO have is so much more than that. Thus the question is...
