fandom content and possibly an inordinate amount of semi-personal shitposting (aka I treat tumblr like twitter but better organised). Pro ship. Nav/tagging system under the cut
“You have learnt an important lesson, Merlin. Your determination to see goodness in people will be your undoing. But I fear that your futures are now joined forever. She is the darkness to your light, the hatred to your love.” — The Tears of Uther Pendragon “You are right to be afraid, Morgana. Your enemies will rue this day and all the destruction it brings, but you must beware. Tearing the veil between the worlds has created a new world, and you will not walk through it alone. The one they call Emrys will walk in your shadow. He is your destiny, and he is your doom.” — The Darkest Hour MERLIN MEME [2/2] PROPHECIES ▸ Morgana and Emrys
god that scene with jamie's father in the locker room was brilliantly done. the absolute dead fucking silence. i teared up when roy hugged him my boy needed that so bad!!!! i fucking felt that hug through the screen
trent crimm's voice is pure sex
nathan is really getting on my nerves. the only character i geniunely dislike. he was cute in most of the first season but i dont find his ~roasting~ other people thing funny, him spitting on the mirror in a restaurant to psyche himself up was gross and so rude to the people that have to clean that shit up, and his attitude towards the new whatever-his-old -job-was boy is such a classic example of a bullied person becoming a bully and it's not cute at all. also the way he treats colin? fuck him
*fills my own schedule with events and tasks that are fun or good for me*
Well what the fuck. Where’s my seven daily hours of dicking around time.
this is literally all they do
i think after hilson is established chase and foreman should be on a boys night w them and chase gets a bit drunk and asks them a lot of questions about their sex life and then house and wilson take him home and DP him
and foreman the day after is like "so? how was it?" and chase is like "uhhhhh no we didnt, um--" and foreman raises his eyebrows and is like "i mean. come on"
"okay. well. if normal gay guys are as good as house and wilson are we should all convert"
"WOW"
i dont think house and wilson are particularly good in bed btw. i just think it would be chase's kink to get used as a chew toy and betting piece between them bc he loves that shit, and it would get him off so hard he just thinks its down to skill rather than being a masochist
i hate house md for the fact that it’s made me feel that the most romantic thing in the world is when wilson pretended to change his diet simply because he knew house would fixate on it, to distract him from his grief and remind him that everything would be okay. he knew the most comforting thing to house would be to mess with him, that it would make him happy and feel cared for. it’s the dumbest, weirdest thing, and all i can think when i watch that scene is When Will Someone Love Me That Much. i hate it here. i really do.

child handling for the childless nurse
My current job has me working with children, which is kind of a weird shock after years in environments where a “young” patient is 40 years old. Here’s my impressions so far:
Birth - 1 year: Essentially a small cute animal. Handle accordingly; gently and affectionately, but relying heavily on the caregivers and with no real expectation of cooperation.
Age 1 - 2: Hates you. Hates you so much. You can smile, you can coo, you can attempt to soothe; they hate you anyway, because you’re a stranger and you’re scary and you’re touching them. There’s no winning this so just get it over with as quickly and non-traumatically as possible.
Age 3 - 5: Nervous around medical things, but possible to soothe. Easily upset, but also easily distracted from the thing that upset them. Smartphone cartoons and “who wants a sticker?!!?!?” are key management techniques.
Age 6 - 10: Really cool, actually. I did not realize kids were this cool. Around this age they tend to be fairly outgoing, and super curious and eager to learn. Absolutely do not babytalk; instead, flatter them with how grown-up they are, teach them some Fun Gross Medical Facts, and introduce potentially frightening experiences with “hey, you want to see something really cool?”
Age 11 - 14: Extremely variable. Can be very childish or very mature, or rapidly switch from one mode to the other. At this point you can almost treat them as an adult, just… a really sensitive and unpredictable adult. Do not, under any circumstances, offer stickers. (But they might grab one out of the bin anyway.)
Age 15 - 18: Basically an adult with severely limited life experience. Treat as an adult who needs a little extra education with their care. Keep parents out of the room as much as possible, unless the kid wants them there. At this point you can go ahead and offer stickers again, because they’ll probably think it’s funny. And they’ll want one. Deep down, everyone wants a sticker.
This is also a pretty excellent guide to writing kids of various ages
twitter is good for showing me how they do things to hedgehogs for example anesthesia & x-rays
The most unbelievable line of all of House MD is Wilson telling House that he doesn’t know his medical history. As of House hasn’t stolen all of Wilson’s medical files and had them front to back memorized for years. It is literally impossible that Gregory House doesn’t know Wilson’s medical history. He’s completely and utterly obsessed with him
(no shade if u realized over 26 i just didnt want the list being a mile long)
