i like dennis reynolds the best when he's suffering
danny devito getting in character: let me be frank
are you five nights at fucking kidding me
early seasons macdennis we still talk about you
kind of dawned on me recently how much of mac's character is his inability to be his own person and how he will always have to rely on someone else (luther, dennis, god) to tell him what to do and who to be. he's always trying to label himself as something to avoid being nothing, and he cannot separate himself from being an extension of someone else. he is luther mcdonald's son, he is dennis reynolds' roommate, he is charlie kelly's best friend. he is catholic, he is gay, he is irish, he is the brains. and he accumulates a many number of titles to form his identity because without them, he doesn't know how else to function.
the way wilson looks at house is so special to me
anyways i am very passionate about wilson being canonically queercoded and written as the classic Repressed Guy but where wilson's Repressed Guy stuff blatantly comes into play for me is everytime he meddles in house's romantic life and often insists that house make an effort to be with these women and scolding him when he doesn't try to work it out with them, because that's what wilson has been doing in all his own marriages and he just desperately wants house to Be Normal (aka with a woman) so they can be Normal Guys Together, Nothing Weird Going On Here, We Both Have Wives, Don't Pay Any Attention To Our Codependency! so wilson won't have to stare down the barrel of the What If We Were More gun because he's forcibly removing that option from them
just started watching house and I thought yall were exaggerating but no. every episode is just like three wrong diagnoses that almost kill the patient and then house is like "he has underwater skunk herpes" and they give the guy a new butthole and he's cured. and then house chugs vicodin while talking about wanting to rail wilson.
