Your foreman takes are always SO CORRECT and it's a fucking DELIGHT to me. You get it!! He's been my ABSOLUTE fave for a loooong time but somehow I never really came across much analysis of him so reading your posts and tags is like being a shark that's drifted full of hunger for nearly 20 years and FINALLY found some delicious crunchy fishies. I'm EATING your insights yum yum yum chomp chomp

AHHHHH this is the absolute highest compliment to me. i’ve always been a foreman fanatic if secretly but i feel like something has really clicked in my mind where now i UNDERSTAND why i like his hypocritical guilt-riddled self. i never see any analysis of him either… i think it’s because if you surface-level read him he is a deeply boring individual. because he kind of IS boring!! his life is deeply boring even though he does work for house!!! but this makes me love him even more because he’s trying so hard to be normal but because he’s deeply repressed he only has one outlet that genuinely emotionally fulfills him. he’s a control freak who can’t win in this one part of his life and it’s the ONLY place he ever actually feels genuinely happy!!! he makes himself miserable and THAT’S why he’s so boring because he doesn’t do anything because doing things opens himself up to feeling anything other than how he currently does and he needs to be in control of everything, even his own emotions, and it’s not that he’s consciously TRYING to be miserable and boring but he’s trying to be safe and it’s slowly slowly killing him. he’s miserymaxxing and he doesn’t even consciously REALIZE IT!!! house is AWARE that he’s miserable and depressed and he tries to cope with it (albeit mostly in very self destructive ways) but foreman is so out of touch with himself that he’s just. like a caterpillar that crawled into a cockoon and never emerged.
