Chase from House is so interesting to me, because like, reddit people did the math and even before he gets set up as House’s heir apparent starting in like season 6-7ish he was the underling with the most amount of independent and diagnoses in his original season 1-3 run. Like all this talk of Foreman being “just like House” and Chase was just…there? his character really hits on a rewatch because of how originally he’s kind of an after thought compared to Foreman and Cameron and you don’t really like him right away but by season 3 he’s starting to stand out as the best of the 3 until mama bird House shoved him out the nest. And so he’s so out of focus from the start he was clearly not supposed to be the next in line but he was (maybe accidentally?) always the most talented??

And like, how hilarious (and sad????) it is that he’s been unaware of how hot and desirable he is until after his divorce from a woman he had to (hah) chase for years. And even once she leaves him he’s all, actually it better that you never loved me therefore I didn’t do anything wrong like???? and he discovers his pretty privilege and tests it out by asking for people’s cars and they just give the keys to him??

And the mortician doctor being like, I hate you and Chase is like??? Because it turns out he’s jealous of Chase, who seems to have seen himself as a Ken but turns out to have been a Barbie the whole time: he’s the 2nd best diagnostician in like the world at this point, beautiful, and became the hospital’s best surgeon in only a few years (as stated by both House AND the mortician who hates him), he’s a triple specialist who always seems to have a skill they need because he keeps collecting them like hobbies (remember how he was trained as a neurosurgeon but just didn’t take the test? Remember how they were like, yeah Chase know how to do hypnosis whatever). And it all came so seeming easily to Chase and it made the mortician like, SO mad because Chase has no ambition and squanders like ALL of this for years

He’s all these random assortments of traits they kept throwing at him that make no sense but also all the sense? fuck he’s a mess. He’s the child of privilege! And his father abandoned him and his mom drank herself to death! He was parentified as a teen and tried to escape to seminary school! He got kicked out for sleeping with the grounds keeper’s wife! He only became a doctor because his mom locked him in his dad’s study and he’d read the medical texts once he got tired of crying! He surfed for 7 months until his boss got out of jail because 🤷 He killed a genocidal dictator! He’s weirdly fatphobic! He was in a BDSM relationship and was NOT a dom. He’s a genius but also very gullible and easily manipulated (the cancer patient that got a kiss) , but also very cany and can read people really well (he figured out House canceled Foreman’s interview) except when they have to do with him I guess? He’s a cringefail manwhore with no swag and so many bitches! He’s just some guy! Sometimes the way he reacts to something makes it clear he’s kind of a broken mess! But mostly he’s just some beautiful, beautiful guy!

And he’s just like, hangs around people long enough where they start to care about him wayyy more then they mean to. Cameron is an obvious example but by the end House is like, idk I guess your my son? after years of Chase being like, you are my new dad now and getting bullied for it (and he gets a sibling in 13 because she is also House’s kid). And Foreman was all, I don’t like or respect you as a person, and then becomes the Cuddy to Chase’s House by the end. He just orbits them until they are like fuck I guess you’re here to stay?

chase is SO funny because he's such a boring person when by all rights he should be one of the most interesting character of the show. like truly chase is a litmus test for how insane every character in house is because chase is boring but if you transplanted him to any other media he'd be one of the most complex characters just by virtue of existing.

anyways im. not really reading all this because its late and im tired and have spent Too Long staring at some brutal markdown formatting but. he truly is just some guy. he's just Here. fuckin vibing i guess.

he's the best when he actually grows a pair and starts standing up to authority figures. he's very good because you get both "clown on chase" moments, which are great, and also cheering when he like. punches out house. or murders the afformentioned dictator. fuckin incredible

Maybe Frye for the ask thing?

First impression: Immediately the moment I saw her take off her mask I thought she was just the cutest thing ever! I love OTH’s reveal, but nothing has ever come closer to replicating the feeling of me watching this video in 2015 and seeing Callie for the first time, she just had my whole heart. I loved all of Deep Cut ofc, i went insane from each and every one of them, but she scratched the itch in my brain for cutesy stuff. I also thought her eyelashes and purple fingertips were really cool, sadly i could see the forehead jokes coming :(

Impression now: I still think she’s adorable, but she’s probably a lot more skilled and reserved than she lets on. I also think it is so funny that she thinks she’s scary when really i think she’s just as cringefail as Shiver 💕 Maybe a little less, but still more than Big Man.

Favorite moment: I love how they animate her body language. From the big gestures, which she does a lot of (like during story mode when Deep Cut comes to claim the treasure for the last time), to the little ones like when she’s laughing with Deep Cut and peeks over at Shiver, I find that so so cute.

Idea for a story: Currently still writing atwb, which partially focuses on her, but if I had to write something just about Frye, I’d probably make it a heist story.

Unpopular opinion: not even an unpopular opinion but the forehead jokes were never funny. And people who went on entire rants ab the forehead and how it needed to change or whatever just to hop on the bandwagon for cheap clout? Couldn’t stand it.

Favorite relationship: Deep Cut as a friend group is so cute, and I’m a sucker for middle school friends. They’re so ride or die it’s insane. If you mean a romantic relationship, then probably Shiver and Frye because I like how well matched they are. Yeah I’m boring, you can throw tomatoes 😔

Favorite headcanon: We’ve heard her rap before and we know from the interview she writes her rap verses so I think she not only spits bars but she would think cupcakke is the funniest thing ever. She’d put it on just to get a rise out of Shiver and Big Man. She knows every word. I like to think that she also sometimes speaks way too loud or way too quiet without noticing, but Shiver and Big Man don’t find it annoying at all.
