''what if my writing isn't good eno--'' what if it's a reflection of your soul. what if it has a place in this world. what if you write it anyway

not to cornplate or anything but the difference in camera angles here goes so crazy

the camera looking slightly up to abbot emphasizes the view, not the world below. when we meet him, he’s contemplating his own purpose and can’t remember why he’s doing this job, which would be alarming except for the camera is behind the fence with robby and the roof takes up half the lower frame. we the audience are on safe and solid ground, which assures us that he’s not necessarily looking to jump down. abbot’s not even looking down, he’s simply looking around.

robby on the other hand: it’s nighttime and he’s in complete emotional crisis, for context. we’re looking down at him from his side of the fence and the frame includes both his position and and what’s down below the ledge as if getting us to consider the jump with him. he’s looking down as if it’s a legitimate option, and we the audience are placed on that ledge with him in that precarious spot.

and this us also reflective of their characters because they’re both attendings and the difference between the night/day shift sets them up to be character foils and these parallels reflect that perfectly. jack was never going to do it that morning; he has a therapist, he’s managing better, he loves the job too much to ever leave it (he says it’s in his DNA). robby’s entire arc and point of criticism from others is that he’s not doing that work to take care of himself, he doesn’t practice what he preaches, and when his repressed emotions have finally boiled over and he’s blown his gasket, he genuinely considers ending it.

10/10 parallels shoutout to the cinematographers and cameramen on the pitt

Fanfiction writers be like:

"here's the immensely time consuming 100K word novel-length passion project I'm working on between my real life job and family! It eats up hundreds of hours of my one and only life, causes me emotional harm, and I gain basically nothing from it! Also I put it on the internet for free so anyone can read if they want. Hope you love it!" :)

I was gonna make a whole gifset about this but I honestly cbf piecing it all together visually so here's a text version

that is nicotine gum, which robby chews on for the entire scene where that guy comes in after vaping too much, and where robby off the top of his head knows how much nicotine is in a pack of cigarettes/vape pod

and nicotine gum is usually used for the first 12 weeks after starting to quit and some common side effects of quitting smoking are:

anger or irritability

impatience

trouble sleeping

jumpiness

depression/sadness

which is all to say I think robby is in the throes of nicotine withdrawals on top of literally everything else going on in s1

Learning that “I didn’t mean to, I’m sorry” doesn’t fix everything and that sometimes small actions have big consequences is not an easy one
