I cant get over how Wilson will literally change his personality based on the person he’s trying to comfort. With his wives and girlfriends he’s soft and gentle, with his friends (Cuddy) he’s comforting but honest, with House he’s blunt but he lets House talk. He’s mastered the art of caring for other people so well, but would he honestly let anyone do that for him?

Every House MD episode includes:

• Mandatory clinic duty

• An unnecessary brain biopsy

• “Differential diagnosis?”

• Either heavy metal poisoning, autoimmune disease, amyloidosis or sarcoidosis being thrown as possible diagnoses just to be discarded when the patient has a weird symptom

• “So he’s gonna die? Boring.”

• Breaking into patient’s apartment looking for clues

• House’s B-plot patient in the clinic gives him the answer to A-plot patient’s disease

• Old man yaoi

• Cuddy serving looks

• Drugs

• “It’s not lupus”

• “I can’t see patients. I’m busy!” is doing nothing

you know what i miss in movies. sincerity. authenticity. when scripts didn't spend their time being overtly self aware, lampshading all of their mistakes, and winking at the camera. when they told stories without a sense of spectator before they even hit the screen

I gotta blabber for a sec about how much I appreciate how unique and SO not-simple of an antagonist Olrox is.

like he's introduced as the Vampire Who Kills Richter's Mom, and it was a straight-up murder. Like he fully sought her out, she was in the process of sending her kid overseas most likely because she knew he was coming - even before we fully get Olrox's side of the context, we can tell that shit was personal. Right down to the vivid green eyes, he's giving weirdly chill disney villain vibes. But the entire rest of the show? He's the dude in the bad guy car of the villain train just sitting and judging (OH is he judging) every other person there.

Olrox tracking down and killing Julia Belmont is the most confrontational we ever see him get. Every other scene he's in? He's watching, assessing, sometimes philosophizing, and eventually pulling his own chess moves, but fighting? Rarely! And the additional context of his character makes him even more fascinating!!

Olrox is really one of the only vampires in both Castlevania and C: Nocturne that seems to hold onto a connection to a human's life - even after he's no longer one. He reminisces to Mizrak about being a human during the fall of the Aztec Empire, he chooses to spend his time more like a human than any vamp since Lisa sent Dracula traveling like a human way back when.

Homeboy crossed the Atlantic by fucking ship, at a time when the trip took literal weeks and weeks and he can't even leave his quarters except at nighttime (granted, idk if he *has* a faster way to cross the ocean but it kinda seems like he'd do the ship trip anyways) he chooses to rent a room at an inn instead of staying at the chateau (and boink a cute human in said room, cough cough), and really seems to avoid other vampires - although I'm not sure if that's cuz he just doesn't vibe with 'em in general, or because he really doesn't vibe with the current hot vampire philosophy of the century, which seems to be very heavy-handled colonialism + elitism

I kinda wouldn't be surprised if it's both honestly - given that the only other vampire we meet besides him who spent time in the americas/new world was a literal plantation owning slaver (and unless I misremember, Annette says there were multiple vampires among the rich in St. Domingue), it seems pretty likely to me that whoever turned him was probably a vamp who had a direct hand in the downfall of his nation - coming to the New World specifically for conquest and to seize resources seems like it would be hella appealing for vampires. It would make a LOT of sense for Olrox's standoffish behavior around the other vamps to go back to him having been turned by someone very similar to them, who was probably not just an enemy to him, but part of this massive wave of destructive change in his human life.

like he really gives an impression of actively disliking and withdrawing from every other villain's motivation in this show - and it makes a lot of sense if my speculating is even a little bit close. The vampire's goals in Nocturne would be very nearly the same thing that drove the fall of the Aztec Empire - desire for power and control, justified by some """""natural order"""" hierarchy which really just boils down to 'we want all of this and we're going to indulge in making up a dramatic jerk-off reason why we're entitled to it, since you can't stop us taking it anyways and we've got time'

Dude seems to make little effort to be vampire-like - we rarely see him revel in his power like many other vampires do, as well as seeing him nonchalantly rubbing elbows with humans. He speaks fondly of a man he loved, who he fell for while said guy was still human, TO the other human he is currently crushing on! And I do mean crush, like he doesn't react to or treat Mizrak like a plaything, almost every time we get an Olrox lore-drop it's because he's talking to Mizrak sincerely about things that matter to him. He LIKE-likes this human, to the point of jumping directly into a fight to whisk Le Crush to safety in front of a vampire so powerful he won't directly oppose her! Absolutely fascinating behavior all around.

MAN but I want to see some flashbacks from this guy - as far as we know, vampirism is completely an Old World thing - Europe, Asia, Africa, every other vampire we've seen in both Castlevania shows has been from these continents. Were there even any vamps there at all before europeans landed on the shores of the americas???? I mean, I've heard of one of the old religions in mesoamerica having a suspiciously vampirelike god, but how would that connect to Olrox getting vampirized as a 30ish Aztec man?

MAN OH MAN but I am looking forward to seeing what Olrox gets up to in s2 -I'm burning to know if he's gonna survive the series or not, because despite him being the first villain we meet in Nocturne and doing a deed that usually gets villains the 'karmic death' ending, overall he's not really being written like a bad guy the audience wants to see go down. especially since he's not actually in opposition to our protagonists and has a vested interest in keeping one of Team Good Guys newer members alive. My guess is he's either going to get a similar ending to Isaac, a villain that we root for who actually catches a break and doesn't die, ooorrrrrrrr he's gonna get a Highly Tragic sort of death

Hey party people, beccause of the kind of loosy goosy portrayal, of House’s pain in the show, I decided to take it into my own hands to analyze how House’s disability affects him. My credentials? I took Kinesiology in the twelfth grade and I’m super obsessed with this show.

I also made this for-myself as a guide for my writing so i know the specifics of how house is effected by his pain.

Where is his pain and How does it effect him?

The infraction, lead to a surgery in which the flexor & extensors of House’s knee and hip were impacted. From pictures of the scar, its the upper lateral-medial thigh, so i see three main muscles being effected: vastus laterals, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris.

Those muscles, are important for alot of movement.

The rectus femoris flexes the hip, which means raising the leg would be painful

The vastus laterals and vastus intermedius, (and somewhat the rectus femoris too) help with extension of the knee, meaning straightening his knee would cause alot of pain

Im under the assumption that his hamstrings have not been affected, so that means he can bend his knee, and extend his hip (lower his leg) to an extent.

Actions this effects: walking, running, raising the leg, and any pressure placed on the leg (includes standing).

His chronic pain, (originating Psychosomatically, and due to the strain of (even slight) movement ) means a constant level of pain that affects movement & function even more.

- House’s prescribed medication (vicodin s1-5,s7-8) dulls the pain to an extent which allows him some relief but even on high dosages of this medication House still experiences sharp pain with prev actions mentioned.

The show accurately portrays:

- house using his hands to keep leg straight as he raises/lowers his leg on/from a object. (eg. Coffee tables, chairs, footstools)

-house using the cane for walking, and while standing to support the weight of his leg, and also to bring objects closer or use as support with other movments

The show should better portray:

-strain of driving/using motorcycle on his leg. (yes his leg isn’t being actively used with the bike but there is extended hip flexion)

-the extent of Psychosomatic pain, and a better acknowledgement of it AS PAIN. Many instances where Cuddy and Wilson refuse to prescribe pain relief because his pain is Psychosomatic. (Wtf kinda logic-)

-Rewrite of s6. Fucking god wtf do you mean they took him off his primary pain meds and gave him ibuprofen instead, and we never see the extent of that strain on him once hes back on cases.

-portrayal of how House’s Psychosomatic pain that isnt cured by the pOwEr oF lOvE. (looking at you s6 finale)
