House

[brigdh]

Oh my God, I cannot believe they had House cut himself. WE DON'T GIVE FF.NET WRITERS EXCUSES TO INCLUDE THAT IN THEIR CHARACTERIZATIONS, OKAY? THEY'LL DO IT ANYWAY, DON'T ENCOURAGE THEM.

The stories that will come out of this.

Wait, they've made House a cutter but they haven't had him fuck a boy yet? I protest!

[lucifrix.livejournal.com]

Canonical cutting--oh hell yeah. I want the makeup sex to happen next!!

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

He did hit on a dwarf woman tonight!

In fairness, he was cutting because he hadn't had any pain medication in several days and was doing it for the endorphins. (I don't think you'd really get enough to help, but whatever.) Still, the only thing I could think of while watching that scene is the horrible Fall Out Boy songfics that will detail House's emo pain.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

The makeup sex would be way more entertaining to watch, at least. *grins*

[rm.livejournal.com]

Lol! That's awesome. And yeah, the cutting might work as distractions, but... well... I have a close personal relatiosnhip with my endorphins and I protest.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'd have bought a distraction explanation much more than the endorphins. If you're in the sort of pain where you're constantly throwing up and can't function, some scratches on your arm aren't going to combat that.

Seriously. Blood letting has never been my thing, but NO WAY.

"Dear Diary,

Today I used the last of my Vicodin. This makes me really sad. I'm really hurting right now. Like, my soul is SO crying out from the depths of despair. So then I cut myself. And then I wrote a song using my own blood. It's about pain and anguish and how people really don't appreciate, like, the little things in life, y'know? Like, floors. People don't stop to ask the floor if it minds being walked on. And that just makes me incredibly sad, y'know?

Wow, Chase looks really cute in those pants.

*DIES*

House does wear band t-shirts. He only needs the tight jeans to have the whole emo look down.

"Dear Diary,

I'm feeling really hurt right now. My boyfriend Wilson did the laundry today, but the colours ran and ruined my favourite shirt. And that's really sad, y'know? It's, like, a metaphor for life. People try to mix with other people, and it just doesn't work, and everyone ends up a gross shade of pink.

Also, I tried to make my hair do that flippy thing like those guys from that band I like (whose shirt my boyfriend Wilson ruined). Y'know, the band that does all those cool tragic, dark, depressing songs like "Stabby McRip Stab". It didn't work. So I cut myself and, like, wrote these poems in my blood that were totally better than Damien McFadden ... even if his hands look amazing when they're playing that guitar.

OH GOD, WRITERS, WHY. D: D: D:

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

BECAUSE THEY WANT TO HURT MEEEEEE.

Seriously though, this has to be proof that whoever wrote tonight's episode knows nothing about fandom. I bet they thought they were being unique and edgy!

[poisoninjest.livejournal.com]

They might not have been going for the badfic cutting cliche, but the scene was clearly a setup for Cameron and House to be all hurt/comforty, which is another frequently abused fanfic cliche. That's what I miss about watching Buffy. All the writers of that show read fanfic and they knew how to exploit it properly (i.e. "Spike and Buffy get MARRIED!").

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

House is such a goth teenager. I don't know why we never noticed it before! The sarcasm, the resentment of authority, the rudeness, the drugs...

Now I actually kind of want a House high school AU.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

I don't much like Cameron, so I completely missed their h/c scene until someone else pointed it out (also I was very busy still rolling my eyes at the cutting). I don't think the writers were doing it on purpose- as you say it would have been far more interesting if they had.

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

Doooooo iiiiit. Doooooo iiiiit!

[ferrouswheel.livejournal.com]

Well, different types of pain do generate different types of physiological responses. But doing lots of exercise also releases endorphins so he should have done that instead.... oh wait. the leg...

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

But I bet there's one already out there! Every fandom has its crack AUS; it's, like, the one universal truth.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

It's not that I think he's completely wrong, it's just that it seems like such small cuts would not actually relieve the clearly massive amounts of pain he was in. If aspirin and all the other painkillers he was allowed to have weren't enough, I don't think his solution would work either. Though I could be wrong; I'm not a doctor.

Sex releases endorphins! That would have made a better scene.

Cameron is on my last black lesbian nerve these days--first she was a simpery little wuss and now she's a rampaging she-beast. She needs to get off Wilson's ass or I'll cut a bitch, I'm not kidding.

More and more I think I like Foreman. He can be such a jerk sometimes but he's not twitchy like Cameron and he's not conceited and petty like Chase.

[redshoeson.livejournal.com]

Using my one and only House icon (*le sigh*) to say YOU ROCK.

^____^

I don't even watch the show. I mock by proxy.

[redshoeson.livejournal.com]

Here is my favorite beef with House: In one episode, House says, "It's never lupus," and frequently the House team talks about the Lupus Test.

!!!

First, there *is* no definitive test for Lupus. There are several different tests, and quite a few different criteria, but there is no "end all be all HOMGITMUSTBELUPUS" test. Second, sometimes... only somtimes...

...it is lupus.

^^

Foreman's my favorite of the ducklings. I've never much liked Cameron because she seems to make everything about herself, and Chase just bores me. And hey, if Foreman's a bit of a jerk, House is much more so, and I adore him. *laughs*

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hee. Yeah, I can see why that'd be annoying. It's almost like a running gag by this point.
