THE PITT langdon + turning backwards to talk to mel

like sorry but your name is samira mohan and your father died when you were thirteen because of (racialized) mistreatment in the ER. and so every day you come to work as an ER doctor and you refuse to be anything but thorough and you value data driven approaches and you build trust with your patients until you have the highest patient satisfaction rate in the department. because the last thing you want is a patient being hurt because you were rushing or not listening or not considering all the options. because that's the type of doctor!! that let your dad die!! and then everyone you work with either berates you daily or calls you slo-mo

this is my grasp of how football works: two teams of men want the ball very badly but are incapable of sharing it. one team attempts to deliver the ball to their holy ground while the other attempts to prevent this. occasionally an evil man will appear and speak curses to the men, causing them grief and dishonor

thee first scene we got of dr abbott it's him being depressed and suicidal at hospital's rooftop and then eleven episodes later he shows up like-

that's what a good meal and uninterrupted 8h sleep would do to a man

The realism of Robby being a little bit of an unintentional misogynist is so, so important to me. Like he is a good boss and a great teacher, he is friends with women and works with women and teaches women and respects women greatly. And yet—it’s Langdon, and then Whitaker, who Robby adopts as his mentees. It’s David, not the girls on the kill list, who Robby prioritizes care for. It’s the dad accused of grooming his daughter who Robby refuses to report, while informing the authorities about the mother drugging him without a second thought. He reams Langdon out for berating Santos, but doesn’t check in on Santos until Langdon refuses to let it go and Robby becomes suspicious of there being an actual problem.

And obviously we are seeing Robby on the worst day of life, and maybe even calling him a “little bit of a misogynist” is a bit too much because he’s not, really. But he does have ingrained biases and he does seem to only be able to fully see himself in and completely empathize with other men. And that is just. So true of even the nicest, kindest, most wonderful and feminist men I know.

maybe my favorite part of the pitt is how it addresses implicit biases in medicine and society. a south asian woman doctor recognizes a black woman patient has sickle cell after she's been mistreated by the paramedics. a doctor with an autistic sister is able to help a patient on the spectrum after another doctor is dismissive. one doctor challenges another over whether she fat shamed a patient, and if that bias hindered her judgment. a doctor confronts her older, male boss about prioritizing the safety of a teenage boy who's made threatening comments to girls, rather than the girls who may be harmed. a handsome white male asshole doctor who's been a resident for four years is stealing drugs, and the young woman asshole doctor is the one who realizes it (they've both acted like jerks, but shockingly he gets more leeway from viewers). idk man it's just nice to see actual wrestling with the intersection of misogyny, racism, fatphobia, and other issues in the medical profession. also the doctors are hot

Only been watching The Pitt for a few days but Mel King is THE best autistic character ever written in a medical drama. She doesn't "make connections no one else can" or "just see things differently" or any other Savant with Special Abilities stereotypical bullshit, she's a resident physician who's exactly as intelligent and capable as any other resident physician in the same year. She hates unnecessary yelling because it's loud and annoying, not because she's completely incapable of handling conflict. She usually keeps her stimming subtle enough to hide but sometimes she can't. She loves having a furry critter to pet. She accommodates an autistic patient by lowering the lights and closing the doors because she understands the sensory nightmare of an active medical setting. She speaks in a straightforward and honest way but she isn't an overtly rude inconsiderate asshole. She misses some jokes and takes things too literally on occasion but she does have a sense of humor and she is funny. She speaks up against misinformation and parent panic about autism and other developmental disabilities. She has emotions. She looks at a video of a lava lamp on her phone to chill. Doctor Mel King you have my entire heart

Aaron "I don't care for Kenji" Warner

Can we talk about the fact that Warner was literally the only person who noticed Kenji's actually not okay? Like, everyone in second trilogy was buying Kenji's funny guy shell and no one EVER seemed to realise how depressed, anxious and traumatised he is deep down. No one except for Warner:

“You lie to yourself, Kishimoto. You hide your true feelings behind a thin veneer, playing the clown, when all the while you’re amassing emotional detritus you refuse to examine."

And you know, Warner can sense emotions and sh*t, fine. But except for knowing something's wrong with Kenji's mental state, the guy literally connected two dots and realised Kenji swears more when he's angry with Castle. Explain me, how someone who doesn't care notices such details. Especially for Warner, who may be smart, but usually focuses only on important stuff and doesn't give a f*ck about other people.

“I want to know what’s happening with you and Castle.”

“What?” I blink at him. Still confused. “What are you talking about? There’s nothing wrong with me and Castle.”

“You’ve been more profane in the last several weeks than in the entire time I’ve known you. Something is wrong.”

“I’m stressed,” I say, feeling myself bristle. “Sometimes I swear when I’m stressed.”

He shakes his head. “This is different. You’re experiencing an unusual amount of stress, even for you.”

And I know that in this conversation Warner doesn't play the role of concerned friend who tries to solve other friend's problem, I know. I just want to point out that with his "I hate everyone who's not Juliette" attitude such behavior is pretty remarkable. And shows that Dickhead Warner cares for "Inconsiderate Ass" more than he would ever like to admit.

Shatter Me: My dislikes

Aaron's "redemption": It felt like in Ignite Me, Mafi tried to make an excuse for every single bad thing Warner ever did to make him out as some perfect guy who actually didn't do any wrong. Let me give you an example: Remember the scene where Warner locks Juliette in the simulation room and she believes that a toddler is about to be killed unless she saves it? (But even then, her touch would harm the child) Well guess what?! It was all in Juliette's head and there was no child about to be killed! Hooray! I'm not saying that I'd want Warner as this psychotic guy that actually does harm children, but there have been many instances where his bad actions have suddenly had perfectly good reasons.

How Mafi used Adam: The way I see it, the author created Adam to make some semblance of a love triangle for a bit and then completely destroy him as a character to make the other love interest look like a god. (Don't misunderstand me, I love Warner, but I hated how Adam was constantly compared to him to show how much of a better choice he was)

The infamous name change: I feel like I wouldn't mind it that much if there was more depth to it, but when Juliette was asked why she prefers 'Ella', she just said because it's nicer. I mean, really? I also don't like how her real name was revealed so far into the series because I think I can speak for most readers when I say that it's not easy to suddenly call a character you've known for such a long time, a new name. Yet another flaw with this, is how easily the others (except for Kenji) found it to start calling her 'Ella'. It was way too quick for something so significant. I feel like Mafi knew that many readers hated this, so she tried to recompense for this by ending the series with only Warner calling Juliette, 'Ella'.

Aaron in Restore Me: I just really didn't like how he saw no problem in not telling Juliette about his romantic past. I get it, he's been sheltered most of his life and doesn't fully understand "human customs" but it's kind of logical sense that they should know about their past experiences.

Juliette's short personality change: I really loved seeing her as a badass who didn't care anymore and stopped letting her heart control her, but then all that progress near the end of Restore Me was completely destroyed at the start of Defy Me.

Evie's death in Defy Me: It was way too quick and underwhelming for a villain who's done so many horrible things. Overall, I feel like her presence in the series was lacking because all she did was torture Juliette further then she just gets killed.

Juliette's apology to Warner in Defy Me: Personally I think that Juliette's reaction to Warner's actions was completely understandable, and if anyone had to apologise, it should've been Warner. Juliette had nothing to be sorry for.

Kenji's self-pity in Reveal Me: I understand why he felt the way he did, but it was just so repetitive. It seemed that he had no thoughts except for "Everyone has someone, except for me. Boo hoo."

Lack of Omega Point members & Adam: They were completely erased from the series after the first trilogy. I'm not saying that I missed Adam, however he was a vital character at the beginning so it was so weird for his lack of presence. Sure, Juliette wasn't as close with them as she was with Kenji, but I didn't expect them to just get tossed aside. It seems like Mafi tried to slightly make up for it in Imagine Me but it was a poor effort.

Warner in Imagine Me: Don't get me wrong, I know that he's crazily in love with Juliette, but when she was kidnapped and he turned back to the person he was in Shatter Me, I was so disappointed. It seemed like all of his character development just went down the drain and Mafi made it look like he's only a good person when Juliette is around which I despised.

Juliette and Warner Goodbye: I get it that Mafi decided to write Believe Me, but for a book that was supposed to be last and considered as our goodbye to the characters, this was horrible. Did we even get more than 2 scenes with them together?
