house finding wilson ""interesting"" amongst a literal crowd of thousands is one thing but then to be proven right later when wilson flips his lid at a bar. theyre literally fanfiction but real but not
I think there’s something to be said for the fact that I used to dread presentations when I was younger but now plan to go out of my way to sign myself up for them so I can improve my public speaking. Me from not even two years ago would’ve never. But now ?? The more the merrier let me at them
i still can't catch up on commissions, sorry this is taking me so long, i don't know what's wrong with me. i'm starting some new psychiatry program next week that's for people where regular therapy isn't cutting it. a whole group of 'professionals' are involved now. taking a whole team to crack this one.
going forward with commissions, i don't think i can do full scenes/detailed backgrounds anymore. it's just too much work, it's too hard on me and not fair to my clients when the work is late because i can't get myself to draw. i want to focus more on character work. poses and expressions and fun designs. without worrying about shading and background perspective and light sources. plus most people want refs from me anyway lol, so that works out
hopefully once i'm in a better headspace, i can go back to my full commission offerings. or maybe just do a limited amount of full scene comms, like once a month or something. i don't know, i've fallen so far from my regular work routine that it feels like i'll never be back to normal.
thinking about queer!house, who would’ve been just getting out of medical school at the beginning of the AIDS epidemic. house who loves puzzles and mysterious diseases. who probably did have to interview patients when he was younger and didn’t have the reputation to back up his behavior, having to deliver a diagnosis of GRID, that has only experimental treatments, a mysterious disease that nobody will fund the research for. the medical community can’t even agree on why exactly people catch it or on how it’s transmitted at first.
in the hallways, the unspoken consensus is that it’s spread through deviancy. degeneracy. queer behavior. that it’s more social contagion than real disease.
it would’ve made him furious. to watch people die, over and over again, from a puzzle that those with power didn’t want to solve. to hear so many become indignant or furious or hysterical at a diagnosis that labels them as queer. maybe it was worse to see those visibly gay men who only nodded their head, accepted that what had already begun killing their friends, their lovers, was killing them too.
everybody lies. whether they’re lying about their sexuality or lying about accepting an awful death shouldn’t make a difference to him. they’re going to die irregardless.
i think living through the epidemic as a young queer man would give additional explanation to a lot of house’s behavior. his general distaste for and mistrust for authority, his willingness to try any treatment no matter how radical or experimental, his conscious refusal to connect emotionally with patients, even down to less obvious stuff, like his consistent refusal to use heroin. he’s genuinely traumatized from living through an epidemic that killed people like him.
The thing about searching for flights on British Airways is that they do legitimately offer "Baron/Baroness" or "Viscount/Viscountess" as title options for your personal information.
Simon and Betty definitely fell in love the moment they met but I like to think it was the case they didn’t even have a dating faze before they got engaged.
I like to think it was two colleagues who were obsessed and devoted to their craft but never needed to admit they were also devoted/obsessed to each other cause it already felt like a given. And when one finally worked up the courage to ask if they were gonna spend together forever the other had to have some sappy answer like:
You know that time in the comics when the Doctor is so depressed, he shuts off the lights, turns on an interrogation spotlight, locks himself in the console room, and argues with a bunch of judgmental shadow-figures resembling his past incarnations?
And all the TARDIS' lights go out and her interior becomes a maze to keep his companions out of the console room, all from her psychic connection with the Doctor (“moodbleed”)?
And his companions are left wandering in circles for two days as the air goes “stale,” not knowing where he is but thinking the worst, while he hallucinates in a dark room?
...because I'm thinking again about the times this definitely happened when he was with the Ponds.
