Oh my god... Is that the point? That all of that was worthless? That House could love Stacy, he could love Cuddy, he could love the fellows like a sort of mentor type relationship, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter? He's still an addict and still takes love without ever giving enough of it for the people he loves in return?
That his self admittance to rehab and two years of staying clean was worthless? that the woman who said she loved him said she accepted him as he was couldn't do it and broke his heart, was always going to break his heart because if it wasn't that surgery, that pill, it was going to be something else, it never was going to work out?
I just have a feeling this last season is going to be painful to watch. It's not even enjoyable anymore. I can't see any ending that doesn't bring pain. He and Wilson seem to have reconciled. Maybe the point is that that's his closest and best connection? The only one who actually does keep forgiving him, keep helping him, being there for him despite when they fight? That's actual love and acceptance. Or maybe it's codependency, but then he would have visited House in jail. And for all that Wilson "enables" House over the years, House seems to be the one who makes Wilson feel the most emotion, he broke a mirror at the funeral, he punched him...
And that just leads to the last point of all. If House is bad and bad things happen to him, then what's that say for Wilson? He's good, but yet he's alone romantically, and I'm assuming save for awkward infrequent visits he's now lost contact with his other oldest friend after she quit working at the hospital. He's alone too, just like he and Cuddy frequently reminded House.

do you ever see a person and you are overcome with incredible fondness? and you just think "oh." but not in a romantic or sexual way you are just filled with warmth and it makes you happy, it just does. and you think "i'm so happy you exist. i'm happy you are somewhere out there in the world, doing your thing". it's love but also not entirely
like people are lovely and i feel it in my entire chest like a burning candle that smells like roses and a sunny day

talking to preschoolers is awesome bc they have not fully differentiated stories into 'true stories' and 'imaginary stories' yet so you will tell them about something that happened you once (coyote came out of a bush right in front of you and got startled) and they will tell you about how one time their house was full of coyotes in every room 'including five in the garage' and they're not even like, aware i think of the idea that they are technically 'lying'. they are simply telling stories about coyotes bc its time to tell stories about coyotes.

the thing about trying to recommend fiction podcasts to someone who isn't familiar with them is that not only are so so many genres represented but also the level of production can fall anywhere from "basically an audiobook" to "major motion picture minus the pictures"

sometimes while i think about that while a lot of adults did not treat me very well as a kid i also get a lot of 'in hindsight this person was so good to me and i didnt even realize it until now' as an adult. today i was thinking about how the first anime convention i ever went to was when i was 10 and i asked the man working the manga cafe what manga was/what a good place to start was (because the con was very overstimulating for me and i had gotten lost) and he asked how old i was before recommending yotsuba and asking if i wanted any water or something to eat. its really simple but theres a lot of bad things that couldve happened or he could've been careless in his recommendation, but instead yotsuba has remained one of my favorite manga for years, and probably a large portion of why i continue to read manga as an adult... i think adults who try to involve kids in the world safely/kindly even in little ways make so much more of a difference than they ever really know.
