do you ever think about how much more energy it seemed that house had in the episode where he was in a wheelchair all day. Bc I think about it all the time. something people don't talk about often enough is how exhausting pain is. And how House using only a cane and using it wrong is making his pain problem worse and thats probably on purpose. I think that bc of the way he was raised he needs the pain in his leg to remind himself that his injury is real and so his exhaustion and trauma and mobility problems are all real too. Plus the pain gives him a reason for the Vicodin and the Vicodin gives him a reason to keep the pain. it's a cycle of excuses and proof that no one is asking for, but house just can't imagine a world where he isn't going to be questioned and punished.
now that i am a real adult i am starting to realise. media lied to me about the availability of rooftops to go hang out on. every day i wish i could be hanging out on a rooftop somewhere looking cool as fuck
