Binge watching New Amsterdam.

I am currently 6 episodes in, and I’m learning a few things:

This show is filled with great characters with great qualities and just great people in general, and will not apologize for STANNING ALL OF THEM for the rest of my life (or at least until I finish the existing episodes)

I’m having some heavyweight Sharpe/Goodwin feels - because honestly, the chemistry between them is off the charts - but I am also, like, fully invested in Max and Georgia’s relationship too. So like... yeah. 

Also, Freema Agyeman is too beautiful for words, FYI.

Also also also also, I love that this show has such a great balance between patient-driven storylines and relationship drama storylines. Cause the whole who-should-date-who vibe in a lot of shows is fun to an extent, but at some point it’s like.... no. And so far, this show has been a BIG YES.

Anyway, long story short: I love New Amsterdam. Bye.

[meetmeunderthestarrynight]

That phone sex!🥵🥵🥵🥵🔥 When David said 5.0 was coming in the form of a phone call I was skeptical but Maximus brought down the house with his sexy ass voice. And we are getting a proposal too. We are definitely getting our sharpwin baby soon!

And it’s like I’m there. Like there’s no space between us, no ocean apart, just you and me, and we fit together.

I am finished with this show if we got all this Sharpwin buildup only for them to break up over this London thing.

Lauren outing Leyla as her girlfriend in front of everyone? Not cool. I am Team Leyla in that fight.

And why are the producers and writers trying so hard to get us to care about Floyd and his married girlfriend? No one cares, guys. Just end this already.

[trashyeggroll]

Me at Floyd right now 😡😐🤦‍♀️; okay he didn't know and was just talking but dang dude you just had to talk about all the details so Leyla knows for sure Lauren f*cked up. Maybe she'll break up with her & do surgery because he really wants her...y'all it's sad. Also f*ck that weasel who screwed the vote! All in favor to remove him - ✋🏻; this is why male characters aren't to be trusted.

Shiva was NOT joking, this episode was somethin’ ELSE 🤯 and can I just say, I LOVE the ensemble episodes where they do the long, dialogue-silent montages of the whole team just doing their jobs together 🥺 Like when they were helping out in the ICU. It’s truly one of my favorite things the show does

I do feel like I’m losing sight of where we go with Veronica and then Sharpwin moving with the end of episode twist 🤔 And by that I mean, somebody sedate me, HOW will our faves get out of this one??!!!

You know… not for nothing… I think it would be beneficial to the Leyren endgame for Leyla to bond with Floyd. She needs someone else to talk to as a peer, not just about Lauren, but to find her footing in the hospital as an individual. And… please NA writers, give me Floyd telling Leyla something like, he understands that she’s mad at Lauren and it’s valid, but also he gives a little team Leyren plug and drops one of those lines like, “I’ve never seen Lauren allow herself to be so happy”

Sharpwin and Richonne are Wildly Similar!

Ok y’all so when I was heavily involved in the GOT fandom I used to write metas like this all time. Drawing similarities from tv and film can often pinpoint where a story is heading because as you all know, in Hollywood the same stories have been used countless times over. Anyway, this is just one of the many metas in my drafts so I hope you enjoy it!

The Walking Dead is a cultural phenomenon and Richonne has to be one of the most beloved ships of all time! I stated binge watching the series last year and the hype is real for these two! They’re an incredibly compelling couple and as you watch the show you can’t help but to root for them and their family.

Recently as I’ve thought about Richonne I can’t help thinking about Sharpwin. To me, Sharpwin is the doctor version of Richonne where instead of dealing with apocalyptic zombies, they recently went through a deadly pandemic instead. In more ways than one Richonne and Sharpwin’s story is wildly similar and in this meta I’m going to breakdown down their similarities. *This will include spoilers if your interested in watching either show!!!!

Marriage On the Rocks

At some point, both of these men had rocky marriages with their wives. It’s an obstacle they both try to overcome but the journey to try and “fix” things isn’t the easiest!

Widowed Single Fathers

Both of their wives have traumatic birthing experiences and die in the process. Overnight, they both become single fathers. Also their wives both give birth to girls.

Hallucinating Wives

In their grief, both men start hallucinating their dead wives in order to cope. It becomes so bad that they both start to believe that their hallucinations are real.

Tension-Filled Meet Cute

When both of these couples first meet their future significant others they definitely bumped heads. It was tension-filled and laced with subtle attraction but they bumped heads nonetheless!

Motherhood Journey

Both Michonne and Helen Sharpe have huge motherhood stories. Michonne suffers with the grief of her child and letting her guard down to connect with Rick’s kids. Helen suffers with infertility and her deep desire to have a child on her own.

Teamwork Makes the Dreamwork

Both of these couples are the ultimate team. Max and Helen run the biggest public hospital I. America together while Rick and Michonne kill off walkers and keep their crew alive. In these moment we see how well these couples work together and we also seem them fall in love.

The Dupe Before The Real Thing

You know the phenomenon of women buying dupes/lookalikes of bags bags before they invest in the real thing? Essentially that’s what happened with Rick and Max. Their relationships Jessie and Alice was never made for the for the long term. It was briefly to test the waters before they go after who they really wanted the entire time!

Now to me, this is where the similarities end. Rick and Michonne are way further ahead in their story than Max and Helen but I believe Richonne’s story lays the groundwork for where Max and Helen are headed.

Like Richonne, Sharpwin will get together and when they do they’re going to be all in. They’re going to go from 0-100 like Richonne where they’re either going to move in together or get engaged.

Like Michonne with Judith, Helen will eventually become Luna’s mother. Not only in action but somewhere down the line I’m sure that Helen will legally adopt Luna.

Last but not least, like Richonne, Max and Helen will become a family of four. It will be Max, Helen, Mina (if she becomes a permanent character) and Luna very similar to Rick, Michonne,Carl and Judith.

Anyway, I hope y’all enjoyed this quick meta. I love both ships and the similarities are uncanny!

As always you can DM me here or on Twitter @oyindaodewale.

Tonight’s episode did not serve us right for Team Leyren. Like i wanna see more leyren before the heart break. I need to see the romantic dinner they planning. Hopefully we do. Remember when there was a post by mickmicknyc IG abt the carriage and horse and whatever shit? That’s the same time janet is taping and Shiri is directing it. So for the love of god I’m hoping it is a leyren sceneeeeeee. (I think Shiri is also the one who direct the car scene with Leyren way back season 3.) i still love tonight’s episode tho especially when bloom and the old man had a convo "A good laugh, if it's done well and with the right person, it changes everything" like that hit her and made her reflect of what and who she have now

it did not but i didn't expect much given lauren's storyline for this episode. it's alright we'll let sharpwin have their moment i guess 😭 but EYE will sit here and imagine that leyla had the day off so when lauren comes home that night and pokes her head around the corner, she'll catch leyla, settled and cozy on the couch catching up on some emergency medicine reading and pout all

"hey babe?"

"hmm?"

"do i not laugh?"

and without a missing a beat, eyes never leaving her textbook, leyla will distractedly but fondly reply "well, i think i've heard your dorky laugh enough times to beg to differ"

"cause casey sai-- wait what???"

"oh dinner's in the fridge by the way"

"you're the best, i'm starv-- wait no go back. dorky???"

and leyla, still busy fiddling to highlight a passage of the textbook on the ipad, "huh?"

"dorky?"

"very."

ANYWAYS i too expected at least 5 episodes straight of two nerds in love, working through the growing pains of being coworkers and girlfriends together before whatever wrecking ball of drama the writers have planned for the midseason finale and we are NOT being properly compensated right now 😩😩😩 unfortunately, since it looks like the RT cast listing is ~pretty~ reliable, leyla won't be in 4x08 which is the one shiri directed. would love to be proven wrong though. please. fingers crossed for some good content in 4x07 and 4x09 before shit hits the cliffhanger fan 😭 because there has to be SOMETHING. in s1&2 midseason finale it was max collapsing on the dock and a prison escape plot.

i actually liked the episode too. badass dr. wilder surgery aside, it was nice to see bloom with a relaxing, easy going case compared to the emotional meat grinder she was put through last week. it was funny though, the repeated joke that she doesn't laugh and the "i think humor is overrated. i'd much rather have a good meal or great sex than have someone try to make me giggle" line when we've seen her laugh and smile countless times (and have a good meal, great sex) around leyla. and that small smile that tugged at the corners of her lips when bob said "well with a good laugh, if it's done well and with the right person, changes everything" yeah babes. we all know you're thinking about the love of your life dr. leyla shinwari. that's one of the greatest thing about them. leyla doesn't even really need to try to make lauren laugh and smile. it just. becomes a part of her whenever she's around leyla. anyways tick tock i'm gonna need my doctor power couple girlfriends back asap next week.

I tend to blend my romantic ships, friendships, and family ships as one. If I love a dynamic enough, I don't care what they are or end up being as long as I get that relationship in some capacity.

So I often get arguments about why certain relationships feel familial or are friendships. And I know people are entitled to their opinions and often have valid reasons for them too.

But I still get 😬 when without fail, specific dynamics are INSTANTLY put in non-romantic categories. The same arguments resurface.

"They're better as friends." Which, fine, but also, that doesn't exclude romance. Don't you want to be friends with your lover too?

Some of the most iconic ships started as friends first, right? Friends to lovers is popular for a reason. Many people have at least a foundation with someone before they embark on a romantic relationship together.

Ginny Baker had half of her team willing to die for her by the end of Pitch. She and Duarte confided in each other a bit, and it was a solid friendship that could have easily been something more but wasn't. Blip was the closest to a best friend she had walking into that locker room and remained so all season, but those friendships are diminished because Ginny and Mike should just be platonic since you don't see that. But you do ... in the same show.

"Why can't they just be platonic? We need more platonic relationships" There is an abundance of them though. Focusing on the primary characters or your favorite characters at the expense of everything else does not mean there are no platonic relationships. And friends to lovers usually starts with genuine friendship that starts of platonic and then may evolve from there.

Hacy from Charmed may not be platonic. But Harry and Maggie and Harry and Mel obviously are and those relationships are cultivated and important too. Mina from the resident has genuine platonic friendships with Devon and Conrad and Irving (he used to have a crush on her but has moved on), but a hint of her pursuing something more with AJ and it's suddenly "why can't they just be platonic we need more platonic relationships.)

"They're like siblings" I mean, cool. I get it. I can even see it, but sometimes the set up for why they're like siblings is generally the same set up for best friends, or friends to lovers, or enemies to lovers etc, but it gets coded as sibling-like for specific couples right out the gate. There's a reason why bromance became a thing and it dances on the line of being equal parts platonic or potentially romantic.

Also, using a common ground and relationship both individuals share with someone else to make them platonic. Like if they share a similar bond with a parental- like figure in their life that immediately means they can only be platonic with one another and coding a non-blood related or familial related relationship as incestuous.

Example: Boy Meets World. Shawn Hunter was nearly adopted by the Matthews' more than once. It was implied often that he was like Alan's son. He lived with them before and spent holidays with them. But it never stopped Cory and Shawn from being shipped often. It was probably just as popular as Cory and Topanga.

But despite The Flash following a canon relationship. A constant criticism of WestAllen is that because Barry viewed and was treated like a son by Joe, and they lived in the same house, he and Iris are like siblings. And therefore their relationship is incestuous. An argument that could be made for Brallie on The Fosters, since Callie was officially adopted, but not for The Flash where it wasn't the case. It's not an incest ship. And yet ...

"They don't have any chemistry" It's true chemistry will mostly be subjective, but it's also odd with series where chemistry test overall are utilized just to make sure the right people are chosen for the job.

Chemistry isn't explicitly romantic, chemistry and romance are not mutually exclusive, so "they don't have chemistry" is often a weird one. Maybe you don't like their chemistry, or you don't like what their chemistry can lead to, or you don't want it to be romantic chemistry, but just a flat out "no chemistry" is poorly articulated, especially when there are cases of insane chemistry that is mostly driving a series. (I.E Ichabbie from Sleepy Hollow or Sharpwin from New Amsterdam) some chemistry is undeniable. There's a distinction between "no chemistry" and hoping the chemistry isn't romantic.

"It's coming out of nowhere" is another interesting one because sometimes it's valid, but other times it's a case of someone not paying attention to what was being outlined for some time OR saying this the second something is hinted at when that specific moment is the starting point for something the writers are choosing to explore. It has to start somewhere, right? So you can't call "out of nowhere the second two characters you prefer not to be together share eye contact.

Example: Richonne on TWD. They spent seasons building this relationship up. From distrust to being each other's most trusted person. The attraction between them was even there delu enough if you paid attention, but since attraction is a part of life and doesn't always lead to anything, it could have meant nothing to meant everything but it was there. But one of the biggest complaints was "it came out of nowhere." Careese from POI "came out of nowhere, despite their dynamic being built for God knows how long. Meanwhile, Ruzek and Upton barely glanced at each other before they became a couple on Chicago PD.

Ben and Ryn on Siren is something everyone saw, but Ryn and Maddie and Ryn, Maddie, and Ben together "came out of nowhere." Not if you were paying attention. Yeah, I may as well add Maria and Michael from RNM in this too.

I'm seeing it again, and while I don't necessarily disagree with the latest dynamic in question and why people may not want to ship it, the repeat pattern gets me.

Since I've given examples, may as well point out that this is in part a reference to Brightwell on Prodigal Son. It's new, and I'm not even sure I romantically ship them or Malcolm with anyone to be honest.

But the main reasons why there are already people against the mere mention of them is all of the above reasons. And the thing is, there are many reasons why people wouldn't want to ship them: Malcolm's mental instability, just not seeing them in that way, it being too soon, it being unprofessional, loving the team dynamic more without romance. Liking the relationship as is and not wanting to tamper with it.

And all of that is valid as hell. I get it. I agree often enough myself. Fortunately, the fandom is really fun and open and genuinely nice and hilarious and one of my new favorites.

And I don't think it's one of those fandoms that veer toward problematic, but this is more so an observation on how fascinating it is that the same language is always used. Regardless of intentions or sentiment.

I do think many shippers wouldn't be put on edge, hell many non -shippers but just fans in general representative of what is being shown probably wouldn't be on edge or have their hackles raised if the exact same arguments weren't used against specific dynamics every single time almost instantly.

Like, I wonder if there are better ways to express why a certain relationship doesn't do it for you without dipping into that same well. And it is unfortunate that what should be innocent statements come off a certain way regardless, but even when you can tell it's not ill-intended the pattern and verbiage remain gobsmacking. Like clockwork. It's a quiet observation and I do wonder what if anything can be done about it.

Chemistry, Subjectivity, and the morality hiding behind racism in the New Amsterdam Fandom.

I am so tired of seeing the thinly veiled moral police of the New Amsterdam fandom. It’s in very small pockets on Tumblr but very pronounced on any public site that allows commenting. See TVline, Spoiler TV, etc.  

When I began watching New Amsterdam my first impression was that this would be a show that was just on in the background while I played Candy Crush. There wasn’t a great need for me to watch, but I try and give new shows a few episodes before giving up completely. The ONLY element of the show in the first few episodes that had any intrigue were the exchanges between Helen and Max. Like, that was it. 

By the time episode 5 ended the ENTIRE show had me gripped up. They found a beautiful mix of heart, hope, and drama that isn’t easy to execute without becoming cheesy. But still, the relationship between Max and Helen was still very much a highlight.

It was their chemistry; platonic, romantic, emotional, overt, and hidden. But that’s okay if you don’t or can’t agree with it as the way we consume chemistry in subjective and we bring our natural biases, experiences, and levels of emotional intelligence to the table when watch these shows. But also,there are tons of evidence, meta, and by god even the creators address the chemistry between Max and Helen.

So the naysayers fall into these weird camps of  people rolling their eyes at the idea of friends becoming lovers because “why can’t the lead male and female just be friends?” They see the chemistry as mostly platonic but they are perturbed by the idea that there could be more because it’s “cliche.”

Okay, but it also blows off the many relationships between lead characters who don’t end up in relationships. Not to mention how many other cliches and tropes are okay? Who gets to decide and why is it always reserved for ships? I recently saw someone say they’d rather he get with Lauren because at least it would be unexpected and people seconded it; the same people who felt like the blizzard episode “Came out of nowhere.”  That logic only lends a handful of explanations.

Then there’s the purity police. The ones who see the chemistry but shame on you for even thinking it could be more. They have really lost their grip on what it real and what’s fiction. What can happen in a fictionalized world where we explore these issues and ideas with complexity and the safety of knowing; it isn’t real. These same folks just LUUUUUV Georgia even though the show has illustrated time and again that they were not as invested in the character. That she was there to add complexity to Max’s situation. I for one am not on the yippy skippy kill Georgia train but I’m ready for it. Mostly because the show hasn’t done enough for her as an individual character. I think if they had we wouldn’t be nearly as big of fans of Max. And you can’t blame her pregnancy because Janet Montgomery was also pregnant and got a beautiful and moving arc this past season. But I digress.

These fans are scared right now. They know Georgia is going to die and the last thing they want is their white fave with the black woman.

Remember that part about biases? Some of these folks have unconscious ones, and yes they’re racist ones. 

I haven’t seen anyone from team Sharpwin pressuring the writers about getting Helen and Max together. We ask if they see what we see and they said yes. This is not the Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars, or even Grey’s Anatomy where the fans only care about ships and harass and threaten the writers to put their faves back together or they’d sink the ratings. (At least not yet).

I’d like to believe that we have more respect for the writers given the phenomenal debut season. If you didn’t, you wouldn’t be watching. So then lets be real about why you think Sharpwin shouldn’t happen. Uplift the precious platonic ships of the other leads, like Lauren and Max. Or better yet, shut the fuck up.

Listening to Javicia, Azie, Anna, and Candice speak about what they go through, people should be ashamed of themselves! I say it all the time but y'all really put black women through it over some fictional characters.

how do you think sharpwin will finally confess their feelings for each other? Do you think one is going to realize they love other first and won’t say anything?

i have SO many feelings about how this might go down. the thing is that they’re both aware of their ‘thing’, as it is so eloquently described, AND both knows that the other knows. oh, the drama! as captain of team ‘let helen help raise baby luna’, i’m hoping and pretty certain that helen will have a big role in helping max with the baby and that this will develop their feelings even more. we’ll get tons of cute domestic sharpwin times and at least one interaction where max refers to helen and luna as ‘my girls’ (or i’m suing). max tells helen that he wouldn’t have been able to do any of this without her and that she saved his life and cute cute cute and he’ll probably get all stuttery (when helen thinks is cute) and then she’ll jump his bones. just like that

[nat111love]

l love new amsterdam and sharpwin and ship them since the first episode but the last episode was so badly written and felt forced!!! like l saw /see  the chemistry/something in their scenes and in the writing because my trash ass has a radar for potential canon ship but the “talk about what between us” !! l dind’t see that one coming and honestly l didn’t like that line... ugh why !!! let them grow closer show us how much they care about each other show us how they react when they see the other with his/her partner l mean this is just the Fucking 1 season make us want to want them together l’ve been team georgia is going to die and helen is going to help max raise the baby and they’ll grow closer but this….l never saw that one coming and this is coming from a grey’s anatomy/shondaland fan !! like l want them to be a thing but make it make sense
