I don't think that zosan would ever really be the type to be easily jealous. Like sure Sanji can get 'jealous' over Zoro's swords but that's like the only time Sanji is ever worried about the attention his marimo is giving to something else. And Zoro knows how the love cook can be and that the way he treats women is just how he's always going to be. They're both very secure in their relationship and have never had a time where they felt like they had to protect it from another person.
However, I do think that Sanji tries to get Zoro to be jealous sometimes. It's just nice to be desired and what better way for Zoro to show that than public displays of jealousy? It never works though, as previously mentioned, Zoro knows Sanji. He trusts him and knows whatever attraction he shows to someone is usually all for show.
There is only one time where Zoro has ever gotten close to real possessiveness and it was like, the one time Sanji wasn't trying. He and Usopp made a stupid bet on some island and the loser was supposed to wear a dress to some little party the straw hats were invited to. When Sanji loses, he figures he might as well go all out and really dress up for it. It's been a long time since he's had to wear a dress and he does find it fun if he's in the right mood. So he has Nami and Robin help him pick something out and do his make up. When they show up everyone is kind of in shock because wow Sanji looks really good.
No one is used to him looking like that and it's not like Sanji really told them how he spent those two years apart from them. But the night goes well, he basks in all the compliments he gets and dances around and shows off. He doesn't really pay attention to what Zoro is doing until they get a few hours into the night and suddenly he's looming over Sanji where ever he goes. He keeps a hand on Sanji at all times, either on his back or his hand and he pulls Sanji in to sit with him constantly. At first he thinks that maybe Zoro is just tipsy and in the mood to cuddle, but then he starts to notice the way he'll interrupt someone if they've been talking to Sanji for too long, or he'll drag Sanji back to the crew and try to get him to stay at their table.
It makes Sanji want to see how long he can drag it out, see if Zoro can get jealous over the amount of eyes on him. Zoro puts up with it like a champ. Because at the end of the night, he knows who Sanji is going home with. But when the night does end and they get in bed Zoro is very clingy. Sanji wakes up late the next morning and everyone politely ignores the fact that he's wearing a turtle neck despite the heat.
Btw if we buy the argument I have not yet made on here that House is actually a pretty damn good mentor in s4
(Yes I *am* putting the cart before the horse, why do you ask~)
The best thing he can do for Amber, in his mind, is fire her. Let’s compare her to Thirteen.
Thirteen loses the strongyloides patient. She expects House to fire her. She owns the guilt and responsibility. She knows how to lose but not how to move on from it.
Amber does not know how to lose. It is so fundamentally incompatible with her worldview, with her everything.
We like to joke about her and House being the same, but of course as we also discuss, she is genuinely confident and genuinely advocates for what she wants, not just manipulates. Unlike House.
But at the same time, House can—or at least knows he importance of—being able to lose.
In her last case, Amber is so distressed by the idea of someone becoming a failure and “washed up” that she can barely focus on the case. House knows that she’s wrong—probably from the start.
And House decides that the only way to give her a real-world experience with failure that she can’t rationalize or dismiss is to fire her.
He’s so gentle. He tells her that she needs to be able to lose to work for him (and by implication, to advocate for her patients effectively). He knows she cares, because of her question in 4.09 (“how is that bad for my patients? Or, put in terms that you can understand, how is that bad for you?”).
This last case of hers is a gut punch. Because when House plays the music, he proves to her what she never realized. House cares about his patients.
So when he fires her—when he proves that she must learn to lose to fully advocate for her patients—she has to believe him.
Information isn’t just about facts. It’s about timing, too.
i’m trying to break out of it but, when it comes to their relationship dynamics, so far no fic has managed to top the one skiing au where bokuto and akaashi try and convince kuroo and tsukki to be in a poly relationship that i followed religiously back in 2015, like. (almost) no other fic has managed to tap into what i find so appealing about that group’s whole dynamic, their humour their earnestness their chaos as four, the way akaashi and tsukki balance kuroo and bokuto’s energy (except everyone knows the real trouble is tsukki and bokuto), and like the individual dynamics are incredible too, every pairing just worked so well, even ones i wouldn’t have considered before like kuroo and akaashi. like how in 100k words did this author manage to develop every relationship just so damn well??? there should be way too many moving parts, at least one of the dynamics should have fell flat or fell to the background but none of them did ughhhhh oh my god it’s so good i just need like. a dozen more fics exactly like it rippppp like i’m watching s2 (again yes ik) and all i can think about when i see the four of them interact is “wow that author really nailed their dynamics, what they wrote is exactly how those four would be in 10 years time” god fanfiction is incredible
