I still can't believe that no one ever picked up on the fact that despite calling him Newbie and all the girl names under the sun... the first ever petname Cox used for JD was 'baby', because I'm still not over it...
“they where actually making gay jokes about those characters because of the time. So just so you know that ship isn’t valid or doesn’t count”
I watched most of these shows when they came out. I know these shows have jokes that are suppose to be at our expense. that’s been the way media was until recently.
However they’re fictional characters. If i as a gay person read that haha gay joke as repressed gay person i’m allowed to.
Also even with the gay jokes some of these characters have queer coding. it made not have been intentional at all but it’s how i as a queer person read that character.
It’s fiction. After the writer puts it out in the world i’m allowed to interpret a story through my own lens. I should take into account who wrote it and why but i’m still allowed to see it the way i do.
i don’t know why people feel the need to pull a gotcha about our ships. Most of us are well aware
I haven’t drawn scrubs in so long and I don’t really draw that often either but since I’m doing a scrubs rewatch rn I wanted to draw my guys once again
I vividly remember being fifteen/sixteen sitting in the kitchen at 2am watching scrubs “my musical” on repeat for hours at a time (autism innit) drawing all my little drawings using my shitty twist to sharpen pencils and ballpoint pens before taking pictures of them and tearing them to shreds so no one in my house found them lol. This is one of those drawings
Thinking about how important the first two Ben episodes are because they set up two of my favorite parallels/mirror moment for Dr Cox and JD. The first one has most of it in JD’s fantasy as he struggles with the idea of telling Ben he has leukemia, hoping that maybe the tests were wrong. The thing that snaps him out of this fantasy is Dr Cox asking if he is holding the results. JD spending an episode in a fantasy isn’t strange. After all, one of the main parts of the shows comedy is JD getting lost in fantasies. But most of My Screw Up sees it being Dr Cox’s turn to spend it in a delusion. Dr Cox who makes fun of JD for getting lost in his head has a whole episode like that. And then JD is the one to pull HIM out of it. JD spends the whole show needing to be pulled back down, and for once he gets to do it for someone else, and it’s heartbreaking.
The second Ben episode sees Dr Cox avoid Ben for all it after the leukemia diagnosis. And JD confronts him and tells him he has to be there for his friend, and Dr Cox says he can’t distance himself from what’s happening and then later in the episode has a change of heart and sits in with Ben to help him get through it. In My Fallen Idol, JD can’t forgive Dr Cox and so avoids him. Every tells him to put aside his feelings to help a friend but he says he cant. And then later in the episode he has a change of heart and sits in with Dr Cox to help him get through it.
How about a fic where these two switch bodies? The early season version of them so they're bumbling will be less noticeable.
Julian as JD will be in a slightly better position, but keeps getting yelled at by Dr Cox for recommendations for medications that haven't been invented. He did impress others with a new therapy. Turk has a talk with him about doing the accent again. It doesn't make him seem interesting, he's from Ohio for Pete's sake.
JD will be called out immediately by Garak. When the spy asks him why he is not more afraid of him he simply says "you haven't met Dr Cox"
