#this show is from 2004

[atomicradiogirl]

yes house md as a show is outlandish and insane. house is literally a truman show of his own show. background characters are made out of cardboard, the walls are glass, he is just allowed to bully patients and his coworkers for funzies. but like there is also a deeply realistic element to house as a character. his actions are in line with his life, his backstory, and with his predicament. his chronic pain which lead to an opioid addiction, his childhood trauma, his trust issues that have definitely been shattered throughout his life leading to his cynicism, his refusal to seek mental support. of course the one constant and true trusting relationship in his life will also be codependent. this all makes sense. but this is also a show where house gets shot, gets recruited by the CIA for an episode, goes to jail multiple times. but it’s also a story about a deeply damaged man making the best of what he has and also learning to accept love? oh yeah and this is also a sherlock adaptation.

Adding on to my The Batman post, I forgot to mention how much I adore the way they handle the no killing rule. In terms of plot, I don't think it's mentioned at all as a sticking point. He won't kill and that's that.

But there's one particular scene. Carmine and Selina. Bruce has just punched Carmine to the ground, saving Selina's life, and is now trying to wrestle the gun away from her. She tries to convince him. "He has to pay!"

And right here is where I thought that stupid classic line was gonna be. I could see it coming like a freight train. "If you kill him, you'll be just as bad as he is." But then... I'm wrong. It doesn't happen. Instead, Bruce makes a very different statement.

"You don't have to pay with him. You've paid enough."

And with that, he gets the gun and Carmine is arrested. There's no moral high ground, there's no shitty logic.

Bruce has seen what The Roman has done. Who he's hurt. What he's taken away. Selina's mother. Her girlfriend. Bruce's own parents. He knows better than anyone the need for revenge. For justice. But he also knows that this man before him, lying bloodied on the floor, has taken enough. He's taken their families, their morals, their innocence. But he doesn't get to take away their lives. He doesn't get to have that power.

And then Carmine is shot and killed anyway so Selina got what she wanted in the end either way.

by the way i've been going through rtd's non-doctor-who work and the first thing i watched was queer as folk and i have to say. there's a lot going on in that show but my main takeaway is "it's extremely obvious that the guy writing this really wants to write doctor who." there are ten episodes and of those i believe seven mention doctor who in some capacity. the theme starts playing in the middle of gay sex. k-9 is there. the character responsible for most of these references breaks up with his boyfriend because the boyfriend can't name all the doctors. at the end he has a couple lines where i was like "wow this sounds like something the doctor would say" and then the next lines out of his mouth were about doctor who. all of this is retroactively much funnier now that rtd kickstarted a 20+-year-long reboot for the show

#doctor who #like the show itself is not all that similar to doctor who beyond like. rtd having a pretty clear voice as a writer #like the characters aren't similar the plots aren't similar it's a totally different genre #and like. ostensibly doctor who comes up so much because one particular character is a fan #but like. you can *tell* that it's coming from a place of appreciation and knowledge on the writer's part #i don't know. if i'd been an adult in 2004 and i'd seen queer as folk and then heard that that guy was going to be writing doctor who. #well i simply would not have been surprised. #i would've been like. yeah good for that guy. proud of him. #(i also found an interview with rtd from like. 2000. where he was like 'yeah i was going to do doctor who but then someone new came in so #that's probably not happening anymore :/' and again. very funny to read in retrospect) #anyway. the funniest reference was the theme playing mid-gay-sex because for half a second i thought i was watching the wrong show #and it had gone to the opening credits #also i need to find out if they used the original k-9 prop because i think that would be EXTREMELY funny

All of a sudden, I'm on set and I'm like, "Oh yeah, I have to spend this whole film wet." Someone should have really told me but I can't say that because I wrote it.

Just Leigh Whannell being the funniest motherfucker on the planet.

i love that we’re all giddy and excited - but if the past is at all indicative of the future, this spin off is going to start out where they’re arguing and split up and it’ll take 8 out of 9 episodes to reconcile or speak to each other

#but don’t worry #they’ll show that they’re texting each other with comically large texts on a flip phone from 2004 #tony x ziva

Forever torn between original Janis and her newest interpretations, bc in a way i find her edge in 04 so interesting, she is such an asshole to everything and everyone and it js makes her a more interesting character, but i also love how touchy and caring musical janis is, or how 24 janis acts around the ppl she feels comfortable with. I’ll work on my janis characterization at some point but for now i’m kind of pretty confused on which version of her is my favorite

#i’ll probably add a bit of everything on my final characterization #certainly keep a bit of the roughness of her og character but also add things from her newest adaptations #like the sort of person who is rlly rude to you and doest rlly know how to show affection thru words but is extremely touch starved #and shed also probably be the kind that slowly gets mroe comfortable #maybe in the beginning of her friendship w cady she is a real asshoel but as they get closer act falls a bit and she gets sweeter #idkk #janis ian #janis sarkisian #janis imi'ike #mean girls #characterization #yapping #mean girls 2004 #mean girls bway #mean girls 2024

house md is in a way extremely groundbreaking and no show has gotten even close to what it managed to do. house is a disabled character who stays disabled for the whole series and yes he is a flawed and damaged person and his bad actions are in line with his character and dealing with chronic pain. he changes even though he is adamant for the whole show that people don’t change. house becomes self sacrificing and learns to love in his own flawed way. he goes to therapy and seeks help and support and he is 100% not the same person he started out the series as. there are canon queer characters that aren’t only treated as jokes and have actual three dimensional character arcs. there are unhealthy relationships and healthy relationships. there is loss but it’s not treated as shock value. actions have consequences. characters stay and go. house md is just as real as it is outlandish at times. it skirts the line with absurdity and realism. it’s beautiful and tragic and at it’s core it is a story of love and becoming a better person despite your trauma and flaws. it doesn’t treat house’s trauma and disability as an excuse for his actions but it’s why he is who he is. and despite all of this, house is happy at the end of the show even though the one person he truly loves, his male best friend, is dying. they could have gone the conventional route and gave wilson a female love interest who is actually good for him at the end of the show and yet they choose to have him run away to spend his final days alive with house. and this show ended before gay marriage was legalized. oh my god.

#house md #finally gathered my thoughts #this show is all about love #this show is from 2004 #i’m totally normal about house md #hilson is endgame #and canon #they love each other your honor #literally they do #this is what happens when show runners aren’t cowards #there was never a show like this ever again #my thoughts #i love this show #despite its flaws #in this essay i will #essay posting again

Okay but if the show takes place in 2024 then, depending on when he was born, Grover might've been a smol baby goat during 9/11

You guys think one of the Gods caused 9/11 in this universe or

#and then Percy and Annabeth are from 2012 or 2011 #and Luke is from 2004 or 2005 #fuck I'm older than Luke now even #percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackson show #percy jackson series #percy jackson disney+ #percy jackson tv show #tw 9/11 #cw 9/11 #9/11 joke

Muser questions: #17?

17. Dan or Morgan?

Honestly, Morgan. Dan's the one I've properly seen live, just because I was so far at the back during the last (ST) tour that I could barely tell who was who in the band, and really, they were only distinguishable from 1) Matt's ridiculous LED sunglasses and 2) the fact that Dom was in fact, behind a drum kit :P And Morgan prefers to stay in the background anyway, so I barely saw him. :/

Dan obviously lets Muse be the star of their own show too, but I think you feel his presence more on stage? And he also had a lovely moment at a Muse show where he proposed to his partner! And that's always going to be a part of the Muse family history, which is super sweet.

I can't say that musically Dan is a better or worse fit with Muse than Morgan, because he does what he does well, and iirc he also helped with mixing Won't Stand Down and the band were quite happy with that (separate discussion about what fans thought of those BMTH-like verses, but it sounds like that's what the band wanted in the first place), so I reckon he's got what Muse need.

But I think it's just the history and tradition that make me pick Morgan! How many other people are responsible for my knee-jerk reaction to any time anyone mentions any sort of shaking percussion instrument:

[ID: "'It's not a shaker, it's a cabasa!' —Morgan Nicholls speaks out against fan ignorance", a classic taken from the Muse message boards]

If Morgan decides he does want to tour with Muse again, I'll miss Dan but be really happy to see Morgan again. I hope he isn't fully done with Muse, he was in the crowd at the final London shows of the tour!

Also, I'm just a fan of Senseless Things, what can I tell ya :)

#muse #muse band #muse asks! #Down to the nitty gritties asks #if anyone wants them again I'm happy to find you that post #your ask belongs to me now #Morgan Nicholls #if anyone's new to this part of band lore‚ Senseless Things was Morgan's band in the 90s— that's him on bass! #Muse were big fans of those 90s English punky bands like Senseless Things and Mega City Four as teens #so they were thrilled when they were able to get Morgan to play with them in 2004 and then it just became a permanent thing. #They also attended the 2017 reunion shows Senseless Things did #and sent their condolences when Mark Keds died a few years ago #Senseless Things #90s music #music #musicians #Senseless Things FYI were also pretty popular! As you can see from the vid ^ above they were a charting band; did TOTP; opened for Blur #Had a ton of singles success. Also Mark Keds co-wrote The Libertines' Can't Stand Me Now which is a smashing song

once again poorly excusing my lack of posts by saying its exclusively the fault of house md... i feel i have curated my tumblr around an image.... i'm not entirely sure anyone is interested in the characters i'm rotating at light speeds in my mind rn

#brandy.txt #house md #im on season 5. im really into whatever is going on with taub #but its become such a struggle for me to name a favorite chara #bc i like them all #the whole cast is so interesting to me #and the ways in which they all compliment and contrast each other... #literally so much to think about #kinda mad im so invested in this show because its so predictable of me #like yeah. you WOULD go insane for a sherlock adaptated medical drama from 2004 #who else but deeism #anyways #it is not without its flaws but im having a good time #i havent even talked about whatever the hell hilson is #whole other can of worms. cant even get into it #doctor yaoi is real yall
