okay when i started rewatching house, it took me until 3x15 but i started to notice a pattern in house's wardrobe. the scene where foreman was trying to express sadness(?) at house's (fake) brain cancer they were both wearing pink.
After that I noticed that any time house was wearing pink, they were particularly vulnerable moments. Moments that he's feeling tender or open. Moments where he is being pretty earnest.
Then I started to notice that other colored shirts came up at different times. Light blue was his most neutral state, it represents logic and reason imo. Maybe a little bit of humor. There's a lightness or surface-ness to it.
Purple represents something like consequences or grief or guilt. any time there is purple someone is bearing the weight of a decision that was made, or a complex situation.
Black represents, as you can imagine, death. the darkest moments we see house in black.
The other colors aren't as prominent, but I have theories. Red is sex, power, life, excitement, ego. tan is neutrality. white is almost naive. green is rare and house never wears it. Dark blue is still logic but more solemn, more deep. its also interesting to note the times when he doesn't wear a t-shirt under his dress shirt and leaves like 3 buttons open (hubba hubba) and when he /only/ wears a t-shirt. I think his dress shirt is almost like his armor.
#theres a lot more that i could say symbollically about wardrobe#and about the fellows too.#i think its facinating that the scrubs are pink and green#and that its never clear at least to me what the difference is#i would like to pay more attention next rewatch bc i missed 2.5 whole seasons of data#also maybe i will eventually do a master post about this and like compile pics and stuff#also! this scene is really interesting and i could talk at length about it#all ill say is#This scene is particularly interesting because foreman tries to do what cameron and chase did#but gave up bc of houses needling.#house is playing the piano and recieving news that his patients brain only half works#foreman just tells him about the case#and i think to house thats actually the sweetest(?) thing he could do#hes not lying#hes helping house by giving his mind something to work on#which if he did actually have brain cancer is prob what he would want#i think this is as much love he could bear to receive#okay anyway i love foreman!!!!!!!#house md#malpractice md#eric foreman#gregory house#house

Non-ADHD and non-autistic disabled people whose only idea of ADHD and autistic people is shaped by media depictions of a nerdy white boy or a quirky goth girl with low support needs: "Yeah ADHD and autism are destigmatized and we should ignore people with ADHD and autism in favor of real disabilities. I am very smart and progressive."
Lateral prejudice towards other disabled people will get us nowhere.
#actually disabled#ableism#lateral ableism#autistic people face disproportional police violence#especially if they're not white#I know people who have been severely hurt socially financially and mentally because of their adhd and/or autism#there's a literal anti-vax movement of people who think autism is worse than polio and measles and shit#adhd and autism are not destigmatized#just because a handfull of privileged adhd and/or autistic people managed to succeed and mask very well#doesn't mean that's the majority of the adhd and/or autistic experience#there's a reason autism was classed as a schizophrenic disorder for a long time#because the outward symptoms of autism and schizophrenia can be very similar#parents of adhd and autistic kids talk openly about wanting to murder their children and some even succeed in doing so#and people sympathize with them#autism and adhd can manifest in auditory processing disorders and communication disorders#which to a non-professional appear indistinguishable from physical hearing impairements and neurological disabilities#adhd symptoms can be so similar to brain cancer that I know someone who died because his cancer was caught so late#actually autistic

making an emily-arc gifset and screaming internally. why the fuck did they do that to scully
#also kind of why the fuck did they do that to mulder. like obviously it is WAY worse for scully but imagine:#your best friend slash love of your life calls you. she's just found out that a. she can't have kids#(which you have known for several months but didn't tell her because she was DYING OF TERMINAL BRAIN CANCER)#and b. when she was kidnapped and medically raped by the government a child resulted from this and she's only now found her#and you fly out to them and the little girl is darling and precocious and terrified and your partner ADORES her#and seeing them together hits you over the head with how badly you want this for her. how badly you want this for YOU#how any children you were ever going to have would have always been hers#and you make the girl laugh and you threaten the men who did this to her. you want everything to help her. and she dies anyway#your pseudo-mother-in-law calls from the hospital. your partner's brother just had a baby#you watch your partner fall apart and you grieve for her loss but also for yours. that was your daughter too. or she would have been#arwen.text#the x files

ok im going to ramble for a minute but i think van palmer's turn towards violence is so interesting. like in the beginning, she nearly throws up just thinking about allie's broken leg. she can't watch when shauna sobs over her baby's body. but then she's one of the first to truly believe and accept that they'll end up turning to violence in order to survive - she stops and she watches shauna beat their friend and teammate and she knows. it's brutal and bloody and near deadly, but this time, she doesn’t look away.
despite her weak stomach, she's always been willing to do what she believes is necessary. to her, violence isn't intriguing or sensational or something to be celebrated - but it is something to be resorted to, one of those things she sees as an inevitability, a necessity, no matter how painful or nauseating or depressing. she’ll slap her mother awake, but first she'll call out to her. she'll hunt nat through the woods and she'll let a 14yo drown, but only because she and taissa and lottie and everyone who she cares for, they're all starving, or hurt. she will do what she believes it will take to keep herself and her loved ones alive, at least most of them, at least as many of them as possible - because, of course, she’s always tried so hard to be the protector. that's who she is, shown in a thousand little ways. she plays goalie. she tries to break up the fight between tai and shauna in the pilot and she starts to defend nat when travis is being a dickhead in bear down and she helps hold shauna back until lottie tells them not to in burial. she tries to look after tai when she sleepwalks, like how she possibly had to look after her mother for years. she jokes around and she tells the group stories, trying to keep them connected to the outside world.
i think it's interesting to see a character so solidly rooted in the idea of protection to be the one spearheading violent action. it's ironic and tragic and it makes sense, because as yellowjackets shows, over and over - care is not an inherently gentle or bloodless act!! it's van telling the others to leave her bleeding in the woods after the wolf attack and it's tying herself to tai even though she gets hurt and it's helping carry bodies onto the plane and digging graves. it's telling tai she loves her for the first time by literally writing it in her own blood.
sometimes it’s painful. sometimes it's not healthy or righteous. sometimes it’s the hard choice - putting forth the playing cards and joining the hunt and watching with grim determination as javi struggles and cries out for help, and then separating herself and the others from the choice to let him die by claiming the wilderness made it for them. reaching out and turning his face away from shauna when it’s time for the bloodletting. convincing travis to cannibalize his little brother by telling him that he owes javi this final act of love.
it's giving up retelling movies and tv shows and instead telling a different story, a quiet, cold one, because she believes the only way for them to survive out in the wilderness is to give themselves over to it fully, no matter how horrible - because, after everything, what choice does she feel she has but to persist? even in wiskayok, living was always a fight, another series of necessary actions in order to Get Through It and Get Out. after the alcoholic mother and ambiguously unmentioned father and the trials of being young and gay and butch in the suburbs of 90s new jersey, she wants a future, so badly. and after having to pull herself out of the crash and surviving the wolf attack and the pyre, after spending months watching the others around her suffer and starve and die, she can't pull out of the fight. she wouldn't even know how. like a brutal, desperate instinct, she must survive, and she must protect.
it's agonizing but she won't let herself feel it and it's endless but she can only think about the end result. it's selfish in the way they're almost all selfish and it's loving in the way they all love - but especially van, who is so deeply and fiercely protective, who has always cared so much. in the end, that protective instinct both keeps her painfully human and pushes her out into the deep end. it's the kindest and most wonderful piece of her being and it's an intense force that leads her towards brutality. because sometimes caring is the violent thing!! sometimes love is violence and violence is love!!!!
#i literally have a fever rn. does this vaguely strung-together nonsense make that obvious#this tumblr post is like if a 3 paragraph essay was half-digested and then spit back out and thrown in a paper shredder#anyway me when a character's kindest core traits are what lead them down a dark path....... <333#god im obsessed with her i want to see her get Worse in s3. like go on commit more atrocities in the name of love and life. cmon do it#don't even get me started on the cancer thing. how she helps instigate the hunt when they're adults. god#obviously this isnt an overarching analysis or a moral judgement. just a thought i wanted to get out of my fever brain bc im insane abt her#van palmer#yellowjackets

watching a documentary about a young mother (45 years old) dying from cancer and her 13 year old son working through this insane process is.... holy shit. dude holy shit fuck
#reminds me of my beloved aunt who died from brain cancer when she was 51 and I was 16#I miss her a lot. she was the only one who looked at me - a very sad and lost teenager - and said: youre doing just fine. youll be alright.#you will be an extraordinary person. i just know it. you will be special.#and damn she would have LOVED the now adult me. she would have loved my morbid obsession with death and bones and skulls#she would have loved that I want to try everything creative. she would have loved my partner. she would have loved everything about me

one thing abt being disabled/chronically ill that some people don’t get is that sometimes body maintenance that ensures you have the absolute minimum amount of function can also be something that takes away a lot of control and autonomy. you can argue till the cows come home that making those decisions to try and help yourself (or realistically to try to make sure things aren’t worse than they already are) is something that exhibits control and autonomy and stuff, but they can be so limiting in practice because they’re things that take up so much time but have to be done to do anything else
#i have to sleep a lot. i’m at the point where functioning requires 8 hours of sleep if not more#I should probably be getting 10+ but i’m a student and i work so 8 is the minimum. but then also getting ready for bed is a whole process s#the whole thing can take 10-12 hours depending how much im sleeping. just to make sure i can do anything#that is time in my day i cannot use for anything else. it’s not ‘oh but i can push through it’ because i can’t without spending the next da#lightheaded and nauseous and vaguely dizzy and with such intense brain fog I can’t think with my fatigue so bad i genuinely don’t know how#get myself to work a lot of days. my abled peers don’t have to deal with this at all. they have unlimited study time if they want to#and yeah it is a choice i’m making that’s true i could just not do. except i would lose my job and fail out of college because i would not#be able to get to classes or do my homework or think. but being told ‘but you are making choices about your life’ when i have lost so much#of what i used to be able to do because i am spiralling down and continuing to get worse is so.#literally last year i would wake up at 6:30 and then go to school till 3 and then go to my internship until 10 and get home at 11 and be in#bed anywhere from midnight to two in the morning and then wake up the next day and do it all again. i graduated with a 3.9 gpa and made it#into my top college while dealing with my cancer symptoms and then the two surgeries about it#but now i lose half my day to just making sure i can get out of bed. i can’t go anywhere because my body is physically too exhausted#any extra time goes into doing homework or occasionally time to myself#not decimating my health by doing minimum body care responsibilities isn’t freeing. occasionally i have a good day which is freeing but tha#usually goes into just. other things outside class or work or eating. I don’t go do something for myself or go do something fun on good day#because I still can’t. good days just mean i don’t want to lie down on the pavement when i’m going somewhere#I just. I don’t magically have control over my life because i try to get enough sleep. i lose half my day to doing that and ultimately it’s#just a bodily function that would have to happen anyway#this is a vent post im just having a really hard time right now because it feels like im in exponential decline. it was nowhere near this#bad last semester. my grades are tanking and i have no free time because anything outside of sleep is either work or school#vent tw#yall can rb this just ignore my tags completely#disability#chronically ill#i keep trying to explain to people how pots works because that’s all logical but there’s no way to explain what it’s doing to my body or ho#i feel all the time. the last time i felt this bad was when i had a bad flu or immediately after surgeries because i don’t react well to#anesthesia and always come out of them feeling like shit. and now i just feel like this all the time and it’s only getting worse#I can’t even stay up late anymore because my body feels like it isn’t counting the sleep even if I get 8 hours#I can deal if I have a free day the day after but that just leaves Friday and Saturday nights and I usually still have to do homework

HEARTBROKEN
#I'm the bad guy because I want to postpone Christmas at my in laws because one of them tested positive for covid#and I don't want to postpone physical therapy at my cancer hospital again#it's been a month I NEED that therapy#we had plans to meet with so many friends#and I said if we do go#we are staying separate house#not talking to family for risk of them having it#and we cant see any of our friends#Hubby is not happy with that at all#Grr babe I have no immune system#the patients at the cancer hospital have no immune system#one of our friends is hanging out with me between flights#another has small children#the third has been ill and disabled since childhood#and I;m the bad guy for putting my foot down'#I can;t cry anymore because of damage from all my brain surguries#but I'm sobbing#I feel so bad#enforcing my boundaries hurts sometimes#kn2s talks#covid

@soccerpunching you're genuinely one of the best people I've met here bc you like almost every media I like
Apropos fighting. Remember when Adora jumps on Catra at Prom. Just them rolling on the floor. I wanted to draw that but didn't get round to it. The scene had such an energy
#im so so glad you like those hah#but anyways catradora and feisaru are two v personal and important ships 2 me#would you believe me if I told you I've sorta felt like drawing them in suits again#a few weeks ago#both manspreading#the problem is my head is so full of ideas and i actually suck at drawing and am slow and so my brains fastness overwhelms me sometimes#oh also im sick AGAIN so efficiency goes put the window#i also have a song that i associate w the prom redraws in particular#if i do the manspreads ill bring it up#im a bit conflicted abt the prom redraws. i used to really like them#but theyre over a year old now and its showing#how my drawings looked back then doesn't really resonate w me but the dip stays iconic#BECAUSE#i didn't think about saru's n fei's bodies any different back then. but my brain has this thing#where it distorts my drawings and makes them look broader than they really are in my head? and#then i look at the drawings again after a month and it goes holy shit last time i looked you werent looking like stickmen#but im better than this now#my drawings cause me less eye cancer now#i wanna get that violet suit finally. have wanted it for years#also that one thing where saru gets manhandled. it originally had more blush#man im not rereading im going to sleep

I think its really stupid that thinking about dsmp actually makes me really sad cuz around the time that i learned about it and the lore (that i then proceeded to forget bc i wasnt in the mcrp grindset yet...sad) my dad got diagnosed with cancer so now whenever people talk abt how dsmp is about grief im like yeah man it sure is my dad fucking died 2 months after i learned about the maniac who blew up a city and that other guy who got his skull smashed in with an anvil
#moth post#and it didnt help that there was another cancer related death not soon after that. so that also always hits me in the gut bc. yeah.#i am tied to that stupid smp by proxy because of bad timing and my brain latching onto things forever#maybe its why i find comfort in tommys character bc i always think back to being a teen cuz thats when dad was still alive and yk wjen your-#-e a kid everything seems better but then you look back and realise that dear god that was fucked i do NOT want that back#idk im rambling#im unable to sleep for whatever reason.#2 hours till my alarm goes off lolll 😋

i just think it's so unfair that when i left high school my entire support system was gone overnight and i was just expected to get on with it with no help and because i wasn't diagnosed back then no one believed me or accommodated for me or cared, so i had to postpone my degree for two years and watch all my friends graduate without me and move to different cities and i went from being a straight a student who never had to study in their life to barely scraping the minimum grades and never showing up to class because i had convinced myself i was too stupid and slow to ever get my degree because i wasn't getting any of the support i kept asking for and was expected to read and listen to lectures without any help and keep up with everyone else when none of my support needs were being met. and now after trying for five years to find a way to get the degree i always wanted my uni have told me they're not going to let me do it anymore because of one module requirement that i missed because i was in hospital against my own choice. and even after i said i would use the entirety of my savings which i specifically worked for so that i could have a safety net for my studies to pay for the extra year required to get the module they need they've still said no. even though there's a bunch of spare places on the course and it wouldn't impact my timetable at all. even though i got As in every assignment i did for that course compared the the Bs and Cs i used to get in every other subject. even when i told them that i can't keep doing a science based humanities subject because i have dyscalculia and it's literally impossible for me to get through a single sentence of reading on my own, compared to the module i want to do where my lecturer literally bought me extra course textbooks with his own money because i finished everything else on the reading list in my own time and he said he was impressed with the work i sent him. i told them that me and my brother are the first in my family to go to uni, and how neither of my parents finished school or have any qualifications, and i never though in a million years i would ever get to have a degree and i've had everything stacked against me because their uni is 99% rich able bodied neurotypicals and i'm so close to graduating even though i had no support at all for the first four years. and they still don't care. they can't even give me a reason as to why they won't let me get the degree i want. they just keep saying 'we're not in a position to let you do the extra module' over and over again and i don't even understand what they mean. i'm going to pay for it myself. they have spare spaces on the course. i don't understand what else i can do to make them listen. they talk so much about diversity and accessibility yet every other poor and disabled person i talk to (and there's barely fucking any at this uni because they don't want us to be there) has been through similar experiences and had opportunities taken away from them because they were too unwell to attend one single fucking class. i don't know what to do but i've been here way too long and tried way too hard to drop out now. but i also can't bear to not to the degree i've always dreamed of. i don't want to do anything else
#this is what triggered my whole episode last week or whenever it was i tried to off myself#i've been ignoring it since then so that i can become sane again but#it's been stuck in my brain the whole time and i don't know what to do about it#i can't accept it and move on because i don't understand why it's happening and i don't think it's fair#but idk what to do and i don't want to kick up a fuss or act like i'm being like victimised or some shit#it's just. i only missed that module because i was literally on a drip and almost had to get a blood transfusion#it wasn't like i couldn't be arsed to show up. i was really sick and it was also when i found out my dad had cancer again idk#even if i'd had it in me to show up to classes i wouldn't have taken anything in or passed my assignments#and i told them that and they said it was fine#if they'd told me it would mean i wouldn't get my degree i would've done something about it#idk what i could've done but i would've done something

do you guys ever have nightmares about getting a fish tank only for the fish to die within the day you get it due to some really horrible and also easy to avoid errors?
#fishkeeping brain rot#literally i want a betta so badly#but im so scared i won't take care of it properly and it will die almost instantly#even if i follow everything correctly including tank set up and cycling and filtration and heating#probably bc childhood me had fish and couldn't take care of them properly#+ lack of parental supervision ++ living in a country with rlly bad animal welfare#like once as a kid i won a goldfish at a carnival thing#and took it home#and my siblings used to have fish and would always do water changes with bottled water (which wasn't chlorinated) and they wouldn't die#then my dad got pissed and said tap water was perfectly fine for animals (our tap water wasn't considered safe for human consumption btw)#and i believed him and used that#cuz i literally got the fish in a bag and used an old tank we had at home#filled it with tap water and acclimated the fish#and yeah it was dead the next morning#also he made me start giving tap water instead of bottled water to my pet hamster and then it later died of cancer#and im so convinced the tap water might have had carcinogens in it#bc it definitely had heavy metals and coal-associated waste in it#anyways goofy tags rant is done#fishkeeping#fishblr
