this scene has been playing on loop in my mind since i first watched it . it’s like a drug.
what if I was slowly dying of internal bleeding and hypothermia and you stayed with me and read to me. Because you know I'm dying and you don't want me to be alone and scared (like you were). And what if I chose You, instead of heaven?
the painting and will’s love for mike being used as a device to further mike and eleven’s relationship is literally sickening to me i’m actually distressed
“It’s literally impossible to be a woman.
You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow, we're always doing it wrong?
You have to be thin, but not too thin, and you can never say you wanna be thin. You have to say you wanna be healthy, but also, you have to BE THIN.
You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass.
You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean.
You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas.
You're supposed to love being a mother, but don't talk about your kids all the damn time.
You have to be a career woman, but also, always be looking out for other people.
You have to answer for men's bad behavior, which is INSANE, but if you point that out, you're accused of complaining!
You're supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you're supposed to be a part of the sisterhood, but ALWAYS STAND OUT and ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL. But never forget that the system is rigged, so find a way to acknowledge that but ALSO, always be grateful!
You have to never get old. Never be rude. Never show off. Never be selfish. Never fall down. Never fail. Never show fear. Never get OUT OF LINE. It's too hard! It's too contradictory, and nobody gives you a medal or says 'thank you!' And it turns out, in fact, that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also, everything is your fault.
I'm just so tired of watching myself, and every single other woman tie herself into knots, so that people will like us.
And if all of that, is also true for a doll just representing a woman, then I don't even know." -Gloria the barbie movie
this is it. this is exactly it oh my god.
i'm only three episodes from the end and the dynamic between house and wilson makes me crazy because what they actually get out of their relationship is the reverse of what almost every other character thinks it is.
initially, other characters and the audience all see their friendship as one where wilson perpetually enables house. house is needy, wilson likes to be needed, it's a cycle. house and wilson themselves frame the relationship as such on multiple occasions. and this is definitely part of of it! house likes having someone who will stay with him no matter what, wilson likes helping, but the main core of their relationship is actually the opposite.
wilson is someone that house will set aside everything to care for, will do anything for. house pathologically burns bridges to keep everyone at a distance and prioritizes himself, but when it comes down to it, he'll put wilson and wilson's happiness over his own. he risks his pride, his mind, his life, and his career for wilson repeatedly.
house is someone that wilson actually feels comfortable wanting and needing something from. this is a man who is so terrified and revolted at the thought of people seeing him vulnerable that he opts to nearly kill himself with chemo to avoid that, but he lets house be there. house is the one person he lets take care of him.
the core of their relationship, the point of their relationship, is that they can drop their respective "i don't need anyone else to be happy" / "i need to make everyone else happy" masks. house gets to be needed, and wilson gets to need.
