I have so many thoughts about them, but it’s 2 a.m. and my brain is fried.

you need to understand that i have two sets of headcanons. there's the set of realistic headcanons based on my genuine reading of the show, and then there's me playing pretend with my dolls.

why do they look like four genres that accidentally formed a band and dropped the hottest album of the 2000’s

I second this notion

concept for a show chase md where chase runs the dept and foreman is dean of medicine. it is exactly the same as house md except foreman is in cuddy's clothes and it is just never acknowledged

OMG MY SHAYLAS I was meant to post this the other day mb

[cameronsheadband]

you are sooooo goatedddd for being a Cameron enjoyer!!!! There aren’t enough of us!!!!!!! I love house and Wilson and chase don’t get me wrong but Cameron and foreman are SOOO underrated it’s crazy. anyway. opinions on foreman (especially his dynamic w Cameron ESPECIALLY in seasons 1-3!!!!)

omg my first ask ILY. & yes ur fr speaking my language. I LOVE cameron, my overhated shayla, so i am already smiling.

Bec you asked for foreman and esp his dynamic with cameron in s1–3, here goes 😽

the show basically drops us into what is his first day with House in the pilot ep. we meet diagnostics through him, which is why he reads as the key og duckling to me. short answer, i rate him so highly. he is boundaries, outcomes and survival in a system that will not protect you. He keeps the medicine honest, refuses sentimentality when it would affect the call, and he knows exactly what it costs to stay in rooms like that. he’s also one of the few who genuinely self-audits and changes, and that starts early; we see it with a lot of patients he starts w biases against and in the end he softens / understands.

together imo they carry the s1–3 team, canon-wise, bc they keep the show honest from two angles at once. foreman is the guardrails. cameron is dignity, the moral compass and being able to live with yourself after the labs are normal. when they’re both in the room, the case has to be won from both sides.

the moment that locks them in to me is Euphoria (s2 ep20–21). once foreman becomes the patient, the front drops. he’s scared, stripped of control, and he names cameron as his proxy, not house, not chase, but cameron. that choice says everything; she’s the one insisting there is a person in that bed, not just a puzzle. she stays when he is awful (remember he’s infected) and uses the little power she has to stop the process chewing him up. it shifts them. not into sappy best friends, but into people who have been tested together and know exactly what the other will hold when it matters.

the show seeds it earlier though: in late s1 they have those nerdy mri room yap sessions and an easy rapport. in Love Hurts (s1 ep20) (one of my fav scenes) he even calls her a friend, and when she returns after resigning he even hugs her.

CUTIES

and crucially, they do shape each other. foreman learns to trust the thing he once mocked in cameron. when it’s his life on the line he hands her the proxy and owns the article mess. that’s him admitting compassion has teeth. cameron, meanwhile, hardens just enough to act. working with foreman (and house), she stops hovering and takes the shot. in Informed Consent (s3 ep3) she chooses the hard mercy.. her morals collide, but she still puts the patient first, bc waiting would be hiding. Similarly by the end of s3 foreman says he’s “becoming house” and walks away to “kill less.” to me that’s her ethic lowk leaving a mark.

a reason I constantly see ppl hating on foreman is for the credit thing in Sleeping Dogs Lie (s2 ep18) foreman files first and basically scoops cameron on a write-up they were both developing. house signs it, cuddy shrugs, and wilson says he should have told her. ruthless and very foreman: play the game, protect your lane, outcomes over feelings. and it is exactly why it lands as a betrayal to cameron, bc her stance is that how you do the job matters as much as the result. i do love that by Euphoria he has memorised lines from her paper and flatters her moral backbone while naming her proxy. partly manipulative, sure, but also a tell that he reads her work, respects it, and trusts her to guard his life.

quick note on chase, bc it explains the friction. foreman bristles bc chase reads as the rich white golden boy. nepo baby whose dad greased the path, posh cv, everything looks handed to him, and he wears that early “idgaf” mask. compared to cameron, who is visibly grinding, invested in the work, and meeting foreman in those nerdy debates, chase looks like cleverness without a spine. ofc the show complicates it later in The Tyrant (s6 ep4) when chase makes his worst moral choice and foreman is the one who helps him with it, but the initial read makes sense inside foreman’s worldview.

why they matter a lot to me is wilson gives house a friend and cuddy gives him a boss. foreman and cameron give him friction about patients. house can bulldoze most people. he cannot bulldoze both of them at once. cameron makes the room ask what this does to us as people. foreman makes the room ask what this does for the patient irl. in most eps a diagnosis only lands after it survives both fires.

Concluding take to pin it down. they don’t convert each other, but they do shape each other. Foreman keeps his outcomes-first idea and cameron keeps her intent-first line. what actually shifts is trust and application: he lets her guard his personhood when it counts, and she refuses to betray her principles even when giving into others pressure would be easier. they argue, recalibrate, and choose to work shoulder to shoulder.

thinking about s2 ep2 autopsy, yes that episode.. bc everyone (esp on tt) keeps boiling it down to “chase kissed a child” like he woke up and chose to for fun. be serious.

the whole episode is about control. andie is nine, terminal, way too aware of what is coming, and she is trying to claw back any agency she can get. she asks for a first kiss bc she thinks she might not live long enough to have one. it is framed as a human ask from a kid who had to grow up fast, not a flirt. chase hesitates, he is uncomfortable, and what actually happens is a brief, not-sexual peck meant to steady a terrified child and honour her dying wish. the scene obviously wants you to sit in the discomfort and argue with yourself about boundaries, consent, and that morally grey area where nothing feels like the right choice.

yet ppl keep rewriting it like he initiated it or wanted to. he did not. it’s clear in the scene he didn’t want to. it is not played for titillation. the episode gives you the counterpoints in real time. then there’s chase’s own constantly reused line in every joke I see, delivered after explaining what happened: “It wasn’t sick. It was one kiss, for a dying girl.” hearing that, cameron literally covers her mouth in shock and foreman turns away holding his head in disgust, which is the show acknowledging how uncomfortable and unethical it is.

and yet somehow this one scene has become the go-to “reason” people throw out when they say they hate chase’s character. “Chase is a pedo” gets tossed around like it is a factual descriptor of his character instead of a bad faith oversimplification of a complex moment.

You don’t have to like what he did. in real life a doctor should obviously never, and should redirect a request like that to a parent or literally anyone whose job is emotional support. the show is a medical drama, not a handbook.. but calling chase a “pedo” over that scene is WILD to me. idk how we went from a messy ethical moment to full character assassination, tbh the narrative bends over backwards to show his reluctance, her tiny slice of agency, and that the moment is about comfort, not desire.

it is actually a really good episode, but no one can ever talk about it outside of “ew chase is a pedo” or “remember when chase kissed a kid lol.” and that is a shame, bc it has one of the most interesting moral knots the show ever threw at the team, and it gets completely lost under bad faith takes.

As for the jokes, I get them a lot in my comments over on tt and I’ve gone along with them etc and they were slightly funny to begin with, but it got old, fast.

Omg.
