tragic: the most popular ship in the fandom involves a character that you love, but headcanon as aroace, and a second character that you don't usually mind but think is a bit annoying in large doses
#and even posts that aren't about them directly often assume they'll get together#mel king#<- love her sorry langdon idc about you#get well and get over her soon#the pitt#it speaks#edit since i just double-checked the wiki: he has a wife and child??#i know that's not very convincing in terms of 'reasons a ship won't become canon'#but it also doesn't really fit with either of their characters. he wouldn't do that. mel wouldn't do that#and people are reading waaaay into the chemistry between them which. okay#but given the fact mel's desperate for connection in general and probably on the spectrum. are you sure you're reading it right?#sorry for rambling it's just that this ship is fucking inescapable#edit x2:#pasting what i said in the tags of an ask about this#i am NOT saying that mel being on the spectrum means the ship can't be canon#what i AM saying is that people seem to think she's definitely written as having a crush. and while that is possible#her behaviors are also consistent with just. being neurodivergent and kind of a people pleaser#and given how professional mel is and the fact that she's friendly to everyone i think people are too quick to assume the ship is guaranteed#to be the explanation

i'm pretty sure kingdon is popular despite langdon's marriage is because it's established pretty early on that their relationship is... rocky. have comfort in the fact that both the actors don't enjoy it and taylor dearden says mel is canonically ace. so.
i love mel my autistic ace queen the people don't understand you like i do
