Know Its For The Better Know Its For The Better Know Its For The Better Know Its For The Better Know

everybody TAP IN!

Oh.

i think a lot of shows that are based on 911 services (the 🏥👮🏻‍♂️🚁💪👩‍🚒🚑🔦💥⚖️ genre) show different workers having camaraderie w and unconditional support for the cops, like yeaaa everyone on the frontlines respects the boys in blue and knows society would be in the gutter without them 💯

and the pitt is just like. well tbr the cops and social services are in and out of the ER a lot, and there’s basic cordiality and cooperation and 1 instance of flirting. but that MCI hits and the cops are 1 (one) guy who got shot and 10 performative idiots who are literally standing IN THE WAY, stressing out and slowing down the doctors, who are the only ones actually HELPING, and then they somewhat understandably tackle the wrong guy as a suspected shooter, and then they try to ARREST one of the doctors who just saved 20 lives bc she broke parole conditions to do so…. unfeeling enforcers of a purely punitive criminal system… and THEN they only back down when another COP is like “well she did save our boy. in particular. she saved a cop.” and they’re like WELL IN THAT CASE

there’s no liberal monologue or lesson abt defunding the police and funding kiara instead and there probably won’t be on this show. but the pitt casually displays 9/10 cops as useless macho assholes who fuck with more important emergency workers whenever they feel like it. hilarious and real

thought about the women of the pitt and started sobbing

people want complex characters but can't even handle a medical doctor in denial about his addiction OR a young woman with a loud mouth and an equally abrasive personality. it's the morality olympics and we've all got those tiny little golf pencils and a scorecard where we keep track of characters' ~sins~. here's aesop's fables in case you want something lighter and more up to your elevated standards

it is my solemn duty to join fandoms and be insane and obsessed about platonic relationships. it’s a critical ecological niche and i am happy to occupy it and draw others in like an angler fish who writes intense and wrenching gen fic.

The funniest part of the Gemstone family easily accepting Kelvin’s gay relationship with his ex-satanist best friend man servant is that it comes after four seasons of them aggressively hating Judy’s husband BJ for being a secular optometrist

this weird apathy non-southerns have for the south during moments of catastrophe and natural disaster is so odd. Basic empathy for human beings expands to the south btw

the thing i find most interesting about dr robby is the amount of times another character mentions how unlike himself he is today. we are not seeing baseline dr robby. we are not seeing him on a regular day. i like the dr robby we see and i enjoy watching him run the pitt, but this is him stresed and sad and in a bad mood, apparently. everyone is insisting, truly, honestly, that from the first moment of the day he is not right. and i find that so wildly fun.

we have never met the real dr robby. what he's like on any other day is a mystery.

fucking love the pitt. they let the autistic girl chill with a dog fo a bit then her boss came in like "fucking love u girl my least troublesome intern wanna pick sooo much gravel out a dudes leg wound?" and she was just like 😀😀😀 incredible. banger autistic rep shes so me.
