Yeah your ship is good, but did one of them literally have to be absent from an episode because the writers were afraid she'd be able to reach him while he had a breakdown?

I am 100% sure that Michael "one must imagine Sisyphus happy" "amor fati" "memento mori" Robinavitch went to liberal arts school and I think he would probably have annoyed me in some 100-level classics class

something i love about cassie is that she has these little mean girl tendencies. i don’t think she notices it, but it tickles me. like when javadi giggles at mateo’s joke, she says “he’s funny- the nurse” and cassie replies “mateo, you can say his name.” (i think i got those quotes right) like i can’t exactly describe why this is sort of a former mean girl dig, but it kinda is! and the reason she has an ankle monitor is because she beat up her ex’s girlfriend. like she’s obviously very empathetic and i’m not saying that cassie is a bitch, but i think the fact that is so nice but still has these tendencies is really amusing

THE DELETED MOHABBOT SCENE OH NY GOD

[butchjackabbot]

this just reminds me of when the pitt fanfic was published in that one article......... why does it feel like there is 0 etiquette around fanfic when it comes to american tv

i haven't watched adults fx and no clue if their fandom have been talking about this etc etc but i got a video of two of the actors acting out a fanfic from ao3 on my fyp and i... kind of hate that they did that lol. it seems like they read directly from a fanfic. so.......people can search for the fanfic based on their lines/narration...? i get the instinctive "woah fanfic about our characters!" but i don't think that they should go so far as to publicize these fanfic. much less make a video that's legitimately just mocking it.

Samira's direct honesty is something I find so fascinating about her as a character. She's the most empathetic doctor in the department, but she really isn't soft in the way one would typically expect of a character like that.

She asks Santos how thick her skin is, then provides blunt, direct feedback without being concerned about how to say it "nicely". When her patient with the butt injections from a guy on Tik Tok asks how bad it looks, she admits freely and without hedging that it doesn’t look great. She gets deeply offended at the claim she’s lying: both Whitaker and Pugliesi accuse her of it, and she points out to both of them that what she said was totally true – she gave him a morphine-like drug that binds to the same receptor to treat his symptoms. But most interestingly is the way it manifests in her relationship with Robby.

She tells Dana directly that just because Robby's having a bad day, there's no need to take it out on her. She defends her treatment choices, even when Robby is getting mad about them. The one time we see her not being vocal about something she knows? When Robby's working on Leah.

We see Samira initially helping there. But then after she puts in the IO, the next time we see her, she's working with Abbot on a different patient. The time after that, she goes to help Langdon. And when Langdon asks how Robby's doing with Leah, she doesn't answer out loud and instead shakes her head. She knew full well Leah wasn't going to make it. And later, she goes back to Robby's side and asks if there's anything she can do, more softly than we ever heard her say anything else, still not telling him that she thinks he should give up and go help someone he could still save. Robby is in so many ways the exception in terms of Samira's reactions to things.

It's such a cool example that highlights the differences between them. I'm usually more focused on the ways in which they're the same, but there are also these crucial differences. In the cases where we see Robby doing the "unnecessary tests" and spending too much time that he berated Samira for, he's often more motivated by the families than the patients due to his own Adamson trauma, whereas Samira is patient focused – wanting Joyce to feel safe and comfortable when she's terrified of intubation, trusting Nandi when she's scared her symptoms are being dismissed – and less concerned with the families. Her exception is Pugliesi, who is in some ways to her what Joyce was to Robby – she is absolutely, legitimately concerned about doing no harm and treating his symptoms. However, she's also reacting very strongly due to her own personal experiences losing her father and visceral reaction to the idea of someone rejecting help.

Robby's reaction to Joyce feels so similar – in contrast to so many other patients, he's not talking to her wife and trying to make her feel better. He's angry at the thought of any delay, driven by the idea that maybe they could have saved Adamson if they'd moved faster.

They're just so similar, but they're approaching their work through very different traumas, and it's all so fascinating.

i'm, again, trying to post snippets of writing cause i've been slow as fuck lmao

i think one of my favorite things about writing jack is that he's such an adhd yapper to me. writing a scene where he's yapping away and the other character(s) are having visible reactions to what he's saying but he's too lost in thought. brain will compute and comprehend in a few minutes, hours or days
