Additionally:

- “teach me. Am I really so bad?” “No, I am”

- Robbie warning Abbot off, followed by “found Dr. Mohan in the supply closet. Did not invite Dr Mohan into the supply closet”

- “you are 28. You’re a fetus.” “27, I skipped third grade”

I can’t believe I didn’t realize the slexie/ mohabbot parallels until just now, especially because s5 Slexie is one of my god tier ships.

slexie scenes i need mohabbot to recreate:

- the new years kiss in the or

- that scene in the hallway and then he opens the door for her “dr sloan 🙂” “dr grey 😏.. after you dr grey” “thank you dr sloan 🙂‍↕️☺️”

- “they think that we’re ugly but i know we’re beautiful”

the whole reason i even started the pitt was bc i heard they were slexie reincarnated soo

I had a straight dude friend come and visit me for a couple days, and we ended up watching the new 911 episode; also 8x05. He didn’t know a lot about it and I told him nothing more so I could gage his honest reaction. His main opinions were:

A) he probably wouldn’t start watching it

B) he got why I did, especially with the scene with Denny and the car

C) Tommy is a really shitty boyfriend and buck deserves better.

( he was very relieved when I told him about Buddie and agreed that that made way more sense)

I watched 8x5 while on a long bus drive with my straight guy friend and I gave him 1 earplug so he could watch with me and in the next like, 2 minutes, we got to the hospital scene when Tommy walked in and he said ohhhh so they are together? And then it cut to Eddie reading his hetero bikini magazine and looking at Buck and he was like oHHHH cool so it's a love triangle!

(He knew nothing about the show and I didnt tell him anything either)

I love the idea of Javadi as someone who says “if I can’t get myself laid, then by god as my witness I will get everyone else laid instead”

Okay so Abbot has been flirting for years and none of it has gotten across to Samira at all. What if he had a little help from the 20 year old med student who is a certified lover girl and waited a total of 9 hours to shoot her shot?

When Javadi has her night shift rotation she quickly notices Abbot flirting with Mohan when she works doubles. And since Javadi is away from Mateo-like distractions she invests in making Mohabbot happen.

At first its pretty clumsy. “Oh Samira sent me a similar study on this once, you should totally ask her for it. Maybe go through it together over coffee,” she suggests coyly.

“What are you trying to do here kid,” Abbot asks.

“I know you like her,” Javadi smile drops suddenly. “Unless you don’t? I didn’t mean to suggest that you as an attending would abuse your power. Even though i really don’t see it that way. i mean i think she’d be open to-“

“Jesus, breathe”

Abbots crush on Mohan made Javadi not see him as this scary authority figure that she has to win the approval of. He is actually a pretty great mentor in helping her find her confidence in intimidating cases. And truthfully Abbot has been out of the flirting game for a while and his efforts have not been working so gaining intel from Javadi is a welcomed addition.

Javadi starts talking to Mohan about Abbot (in the best nonchalant way she can muster) but it fully backfires when Mohan assumes Javadi has a crush on Abbot. And now Mohan has to ask her if it’s appropriate for her to be into her attending while feeling like a hypocrite.

“Ew no, he’s old enough to be my dad! I mean-I have no interest in age gaps and that doesn’t always mean something bad. And besides he has his eyes on someone else in the ED if you know what I mean”

And then Mohan thinks Abbot is into Santos. Javadi wants to hit her head against a wall in response.

Lakan : enough talk of politics it's time to talk about how amazing my wife is

Did they mix up Kingdon with Mohabbot?

got my first melfrank hater in my replies and isn’t it funny how even the naysayers can’t help but make them sound hot…

don’t threaten me with a good time!!!

(also… is he supposed to read as that much older than her? like, in the script draft they’re 28/32 which may not be exactly where we canonically ended up but seems to be in the right range to me…)

Trinity pauses for a moment and realizes that it will make Mel happy and destroy Langdon’s marriage in the messiest way possible.

“You’re gonna need good innuendos, lingering touches, and some slutty lingerie. Come by my place after shift, and we’ll form a game plan.”

Trinity notices that Langdon is too touchy feely around Mel, so she rocks up to Mel like “hey, you want me to help you deal with Dr. Langdon?” (in a tone that implies she’s willing to kill)

Mel (brightening): “Would you help? How do I get him to sleep with me?”

Once, a new hire gets them and, horrifyingly, actually processes the requests. After finally getting that shitshow sorted out, protocols for dealing with the 118 (aka the drama team) are added to the HR SOP manual.

Several times a year the lafd HR department gets transfer requests and letters of resignation from drama queen duo Evan Buckley and Eddie Diaz and each time the poor HR officer does a mighty sigh, pops it straight in the bin and awaits the incoming oop changed my mind email

Never in my life have I wanted two people to lose focus and have a consensual workplace relationship than I have with Langdon and Mel. For many reasons, but mostly because so many people, even her fans, seem to see Mel as this Incorruptible Fairy of Pureness and Good who will help fix Langdon as he comes back from rehab. And I think Mel deserves better than that.

Look, I see a lot of myself in Mel. I’m not autistic, but I am very awkward and anxious and tend to cope with that by being cheerful and overly kind. I give a lot to anything I do and everyone around me, frequently to my own detriment. And treating these qualities like they make someone too good for bad decisions isn’t admiring or flattering or positive representation. It’s infantilizing. To imply that Mel being autistic or even just awkward and anxious makes her incapable of questionable moral choices is demeaning. It treats her as someone who is an ideal, not a person, because people make bad choices. That doesn’t make them bad people (see Langdon and his drug use— bad choice, good person), it just makes them human. So acting like Mel is inherently above that just denies her humanity and personhood, or frames her as incapable of understanding bad choices the same way a child is. So, for Mel to be seen as a full adult, she and Langdon need to have an affair. Not an emotional affair that can be swept away as Mel not understanding relationships, but a full-blown, physical, banging-in-the-on-call-room-until-someone-catches-them-and-even-then-they-don’t-stop-just-yell-for-them-to-leave affair.

TL;DR: Mel and Langdon need to have an affair to push back against ableism.

[theloverlylo]

This. So much this.

It’s honestly why I desperately and fervently want Langdon and Mel to lose focus and have a consensual workplace relationship. Because I want people to see that Mel is not this incorruptible pure pureness who exists to help Langdon recover from his addiction. She is as perfectly capable of making ethically dubious decisions as anyone neurotypical.

the infantilization of mel king is insane. the blatant ableism from a “journalist” is crazy. i wrote better articles in high school.

mel is an adult. stop acting as if she’s a naïve child just because YOU have a warped view on those who are neurodivergent. you don’t have to ship kingdon, but you are infantilizing her by saying “the excitement that Mel shows when Langdon returns is the childlike exuberance of a child for a parental figure.” which is insane.

(also stop acting like mel is incapable of being in a romantic relationship because she is neurodivergent.) [this does not include people who hc mel as aroace! y’all are amazing and i love that hc, so thank you!]

So all of this is absolutely fair, but Pittsburgh does actually have a lot of parks. It’s a surprisingly green city considering the manufacturing history.

every kingdon fic is like oh frank langdon? he's the Most Divorced Man Ever and he's a (recovering) DRUG ADDICT who's DIVORCED or GOING TO BE because he's IN LOVE with DOCTOR MEL KING and he has custody of a DOG who's name NO ONE can agree on that he bought WITHOUT ASKING his wife who probably isn't his wife and her name is abby and she is a BITCH but she DESERVES to be and he almost NEVER sees his kids of varying age but are super young and who's names are tanner and [insert any white girl name] because did i mention he's DIVORCED and a (recovering) DRUG ADDICT who's IN LOVE with DOCTOR MEL KING who he always CARPOOLS with and she's ALSO IN LOVE WITH DOCTOR FRANK LANGDON even though he has the Most Unmoanable Name Ever and he ALWAYS knows what she NEEDS because he FELL IN LOVE with her AUTISTIC SWAG and UNDERSTANDS HER and she visited him in REHAB and she treats him like NORMAL PERSON and when he's out they see each other at a PARK because apparently pittsburg has So Many of them and he learns dr king has a SISTER who's ALSO autistic and becca either lives at The Facility or DOESNT but no one can agree on which one and EVERY TIME mel and frank wanna almost-bone she's conveniently NOT THERE (and neither are his KIDS) but at some point becca has met frank and LIKES him and wants her sister to KISS HIM and maybe mel DOES or DOESNT kiss him BUT THEN Something Bad Happens at work and it's so OBVIOUS they're in love and ROBBY is UPSET because NOW he has to call HR and deal with PAPERWORK

Work Song is my favorite Hozier song, and now it’s permanently linked to this. This might be the thing that pisses me off most.

the song choice while bobby is dying 😭

[theloverlylo]

We honestly don't talk enough about the fact that there is a whole episode on B99 where Rosa and Amy are being badass and catching a perp while Jake and Terry are wedding planning

[theloverlylo]

In the 911 fandom, delulu is now the solulu.

sorry to tim minear and peter krause quite literally nothing could convince me bobby is actually dead I'm about to channel a level of delusion so intense it will only be rivaled by my belief in buddie canon pre-s7

[theloverlylo]

Bobby’s not dead. I refuse to accept it.

You cannot kill a very saintly catholic on Maundy Thursday and not expect me to see him resurrected on Easter Sunday.

I swear to god, if Bobby’s death is what finally pushes Buck and Eddie together… talk about the goddamn monkeys paw.

I know I said I’d do anything for them to be canon BUT I DIDN’T MEAN THIS!
