#I think my math is right lol

I've been trying to figure out The Timeline for Pitt because I've seen different things in fic and I need it straight for my own sanity

s2 is supposed to take place July 4th 10 months after s1 so I'm taking that as July 4th 2026

so s1 is early September 2025 even if the show premiered in Jan

Langdon is R4 in 2025 and I'm assuming that rolls over in spring because of graduating from med school idk specific dates couldn't find any

he has two kids under 4 so the earliest Tanner could have been born is late 2021 if he's turning 4 in 2025

2021 is also when Langdon became an intern so he would have worked COVID as end of year MS3, MS4, and intern (same for Collins who is also R4)

Langdon says he told Robby that he injured his back moving his parents so his injury had to have happened 2021 or later after he matched for residency if he told Robby his attending about it when it happened and he got treatment in the same hospital because he might not have been there at all before his residency

some fics have been pulling from other sources where the original bg for Langdon was he overcame a devastating back injury before becoming a doctor, but I don't think they went with that in the show and people are going for SCI but I don't think that makes sense for him getting prescribed benzos

the show seems to indicate Langdon did something to the muscles of his back not his spine while moving his parents at some point after 2021

and then based purely on vibes I feel like it can't have been more than a year or so since his injury, so he moved his parents like early 2024, idk if that's a long enough timeline for him to escalate to diverting drugs but I just think it hasn't been that long that he's been doing this

Somewhere out there is the sapphic who grew up with seeing Korrasami hold hands at age 10

The Ruby/Sapphire wedding at age 14

The Catradora kiss at age 16

And Caitvi fucking at age 20

And they're a lucky, lucky bastard

[askchilchuck]

Chilchuck! I was wondering have any of your girls made you a grandpa yet?

Also, I’m so glad your asks are open I had been checking every day to see! :3

Have a good day my favorite half-foot.

All three of my girls are single right now as far as I know, and there’s nothing wrong with that. I’ll admit, having grandkids would be nice, and I’ll play around with them about it, but it’s not something I actually want to pressure them into. I want them to take the time to find someone they’re happy with, first. And maybe learn from my mistakes so they don’t make them, too.

studying Philosophy is really like

you think this is going to help you understand the world and your place in it better,

but actually all it does is confuse and befuddle you farther than ever before

and also you make friends with the most annoying (read: great, smart, lovely, kind, but argumentative as ALL GET OUT) people in the world and then you realize you've BECOME one of those people and you kind of want to just curl up in a nice quiet little hole in the ground with all your books and read and think until a complete and total understanding of the world falls out of your noggin and everything makes sense; but actually you just want to take a walk in the woods with a friend and not think about anything for at least a year.

Idk why everyone thinks Crosshair was the chaotic misbehaving brother as a cadet. Mr. “Good soldiers follow orders” even without the chip? Mr. “Loyal to the Empire” even after they destroyed all Kaminoan cities and facilities and didn’t care enough to come back and see if there were any survivors? Mr. “Not immediately swayed by emotional convictions” even when they belong to those closest to him who he should trust above unseen authorities?

Even if you think obedience and compliance was hammered into him by those in charge and he had to learn to keep his head down or face the consequences, that doesn’t explain why it takes him so long to eventually accept the truth, despite the mounting empirical evidence he receives after the most dire possible circumstances that should show him that those in charge are wrong. It isn’t until Mayday’s death that Crosshair finally accepts the truth because it’s then that he’s being directly told by the people in charge that he and everyone like him is expendable and unnecessary.

Somebody with a rebellious youth is much more critical of authority figures even if they’re presently obeying them, and they’re much more ready to drop said authorities the second it’s a viable option and they physically can. Crosshair doesn’t behave like a dog that’s been beaten its whole life, he’s constantly making active decisions not only to follow the Empire but to enforce what the Empire dictates, even when he’s the one reaping the direct consequences of pushback on the ground for it. Because that’s what good soldiers do.

This guy was the kid following the rules by choice and getting mad at the others for finding loopholes or accomplishing things the ‘wrong’ way, especially if and when it got all of them in trouble (because they were kids and wouldn’t have always been right). Rules and structure are there for a reason. We’ve been here less than ten years, what on earth makes you think we know more than the people in charge? Why do I have to be punished because you guys couldn’t do as you were told?

To me the four of them (and Echo later) are a sliding scale when it comes to decision-making based on head vs heart. Crosshair and Tech are on one side, using logic and reason over emotion as their basis for decision-making and how they see the world, and Echo and Wrecker are more on the heart/instinct side of reasoning, putting people and ideals ahead of simply accomplishing objectives despite what the odds might be against them. Hunter’s the balance in the middle, being able to see both sides and weigh what the best option is based on the evidence and the context within which it’s being given. All of them have different fluctuating percentages of what’s going to motivate or drive them day by day, just based on the context of their circumstances, but that’s the general scale.

I think Hunter as a kid probably realized if he could get all of them to learn the rules as quickly as they could, then they’d know how to break them effectively with the least amount of repercussions and collateral damage. They were an experimental group for a reason and were likely given a modicum of wiggle room when it came to problem-solving, the Kaminoans not just allowing but pushing them to be more creative, flexible, and adaptable. They all know the hard rules of structure, chain of command, and behavioral compliance, but after that they’re given more freedom of choice. Their personal convictions inform both the why and how of following orders.

Wrecker is easier to figure out because he wears every thought and emotion on his sleeve and sees no reason not to. He’s more of a follower— Thinking is for other people, he’s a busy guy and man of action, give him something concrete with actionable directions and he’ll accomplish it with aplomb.

Tech, as a kid, likely knew both the spirit and letter of the law, which means he could see problems and solutions objectively regardless of his personal feelings/opinions and knew that rules are there to be guidelines: No structure is perfect and always following rules exactly was never going to always be the right decision. He would choose whichever seemed like the most logical, obvious route to success, finding loopholes and workarounds where he could as a means of balancing the consequences or fallout of said decision.

Hunter also knew both the spirit and letter of the law, but he was able to read situations and people better than Tech was, relying more on his gut instinct to tell him what the best course of action would be, even if that choice wasn’t the most logical. He’s a mediator and the best choice of leader because of his ability to get people working together by knowing how to convince each of them in their own way that this plan will accomplish their objective AND lead to the most amount of people being satisfied/happy in the end, them included. Despite the fact Hunter’s more reserved, he’s still a people person. It just happens to come from empathy, observation, and instinct, the latter two being qualities he was designed to specialize in.

Crosshair obeyed the letter of the law because structure exists for a reason and if that structure has yielded the best results and most success for the longest amount of time, then it’s obvious it must be the right one in place. Loopholes can be taken advantage of, but only when there isn’t an explicit wording against it or there is clear and mounting evidence that the rule doesn’t apply to him. To deviate from the majority in matters of how something is achieved is acceptable; to do so in matters of why is not.

I don't know if it was the audio quality or not but it's so hilarious that Eddie just goes BUCK in such a loud voice. It's giving me 'I'm so cool with my queer best friend I'm so supportive' 😭✋🏽. "You look great together" and he sounds strangled, still talking in a high pitch voice. "Have fun, stay safe!", he probably says as he grins too wide while clutching his forgotten girlfriend's hand tightly.

[if-only-we-could-read-it]

Had my first exam of the season this morning and it went better than expected so I’m feeling notably less murderous now.

[bmpmp3]

when people complain about getting like, a 98% grade on something because it was "so close to perfect" its like. i understand what you're saying on a technical level. but that is a line of thought so far away from my experiences and ways of thinking that i do feel like im from another planet. 100% isnt even a real number to me

Throwback to the first time I saw my friend in like a year, after only texting for that year, and she said, "My soul hurts. My grandfather got in a blood feud with a witch and now I only have 7/8 of a soul," and she said it with such sincerity, and I didn't know her sense of humor that well yet, so I fully believed that she believed she only had 7/8 of a soul. And I sat on that for three weeks, until I finally got up the courage to ask her if she was serious or if it was a bit and she IMMEDIATELY laughed at me because of course it was a bit. But in my defense, she said it with such sincerity that all of the others that heard it believed she was serious too
