Girl how aaare you?

I cannot express how weird/liberating/scary it is to be an old school slash shipper in the year of our Lord 2026 where SNL airs a parody of Harry Potter where Finn Wolfhard plays Harry and it’s an R rated gay romance where he’s got for ‘Ron/Malfoy stand-ins’
I felt the voices of a million mugglenet users cry out in terror/excitement.
Heated rivalry broke some kind of pop-culture dam of awareness and now the lid of Pandora’s box is open and the mainstream people all have their 'slash goggles’ on.
I feel like this is gonna be the end of queerbaiting in shows, legitimately. Can you imagine another show getting away with a 7+ year slow burn and never paying it off?
Insanity, mainstream media would be on them like a shot now.
Back in the day it was taboo for fans at a panel to ask about anything to do with LGBTQ subtext in their favourite shows and now we have reporters asking A-Listers on the red carpet about Heated Rivalry and reinforcing the shows success. Somehow this show broke through the zeitgeist and set a new standard for LGBT representation not being token or niche and demonstrated that audiences have been ready for this for years.
It is going to be an interesting next few years. I’m a little concerned about a backlash in the form of people labelling HR fans as 'weird or fetishistic’ and mocking them for their interest, making it 'uncool’ to like the show or claiming it isn’t progressive enough etc etc but Christ I hope that doesn’t happen.
If nothing else studios are paying attention and they’ll be following the money.

Predictions for The Pitt based on Episodes 1 & 2 of Season 2:
I fear that girl who Santos thinks was abused actually just has CIPA and cannot feel pain. All her injuries could be explained by clumsiness and not knowing when she’s getting hurt and I really hope they don’t have to do a pelvic before figuring that out.
Dr Al-Hashami is interesting and I am watching her closely. She has very little concept of personal space and keeps getting in Robby’s way but I think that’s a metaphorical thing, what I do find odd is that the camera focuses on how often she sanitises her hands and the fact that we rarely or never see her touch a patient or work on a patient.
Why so hands off?
She likes using AI, she wants patient passports to streamline things, yet she is largely supervisory and will even stand with her hands behind her back in the OR, unlike Robby who will get in there and help or keep close by with his arms crossed like he’s trying to restrain himself from jumping in.
I’m wondering if the lack of contact with patients is a symbol of her disconnection from them. Potentially protecting herself similar to when she got upset around the baby and distanced herself, contrasted with Robby’s more human, hands on approach.
Or it could be something else, like an OCD or trauma response. She mentioned she’s never been sued and I said “You’d have to actually treat someone to get sued!”
Either way my prediction for her is that this day in the ER will break her down somehow and Robby will come to the conclusion that the Pitt can’t operate without him (because that man has a martyr complex a mile wide).
But I also think this could be a good thing because Robby riding in with no helmet? I am scared at the prospect of him disappearing off on a bike trip when he’s clearly feeling self destructive. An ER doctor not wearing a helmet on a bike when docs routinely call them ‘donorcycles’?
DEEPLY CONCERNING
They did a good job bringing in a doctor who is intelligent, efficient and focused on results while maintaining professional distance (maybe a little too much) and contrasting her with Robby, a man who could give a shit about bureaucratic measures and gets a little too invested in the lives and emotions of the patients. They are opposite ends of the spectrum in a way so maybe they will end up balancing each other out?
Or they end up fighting each other. Time will tell!

Tim Minear: “They’re all obsessed with something called Heated Rivalry, something to do with rival hockey players so here’s my idea:…”
Head Writers: “Okay…”
Tim Minear: “Eddie becomes captain of the 118 cause Chimney doesn’t want it and then Buck is all mad so he leaves and goes to be the Captain at another firehouse…”
Head Writers: “Uh I don’t think that…”
Tim Minear: “And then they compete to be the best captains at fire-fighting in rival firehouses!”
Head Writers: “But the rivalry isn’t what people are watching for. Have you seen the show?”
Tim: “No but I get the gist from the promo poster.”
Head Writers: “You know those hockey players are secretly gay lovers right?”
Tim: “Wha… No. Wait for real?”
Head Writers: “Yeah, kinda the entire point is that they are not supposed to want each other but they do.”
Tim: “Huh.”
Head Writers: “Mmm”
Tim: “But it’s really popular?”
Head Writers: “Yeah. Looks like fans have been begging for a story like that for years.”
Tim: “Okay well… I mean we can work with that. Let’s say….”
Head Writers: “Yeah?”
Tim: “Okay so what if Buck takes up hockey as a pastime and like… Taylor Kelly is on the rival team…”
Head Writers:

It would actually be so hysterical if 911 actually planned to do Buddie this half of the season the whole time and the fans noped out during the hiatus because they got good hockey smut with feelings.

This is so fucking embarrassing. This is one of the most embarrassing business quips I have ever seen in my entire vile career.
Where’s… where’s the front door? Like I don’t know shit about reading floor plans but wheres the entryway? Is that it on the bottom or is that decking?
Also that big of a communal space and the words GOURMET KITCHEN written in front of Bedroom 2 and then there’s just a corner bench kitchen to the right? No kitchen island with sink, no butler’s pantry, no double stove space, just the words ‘huge walk in/guest suite’ in the middle of the floor. And then two dining tables in that huge space to serve all the food you presumably won’t have room to cook. Where will the appliances go?
Mate I live in a 2 bedroom city apartment and we have triple the storage and bench space of that kitchen.
Imagine you get home and only way to enter the house is through the Garage, then to get to the master bedroom you have to walk through two doors to cut through the double foyer/hallway and pass three bathrooms on the way.
What the fuck is a coat bathroom and why does it need 2 toilets side by side???
7 Bathrooms in the place that looks to be plumbed for 4 toilets, 8 sinks and 2 bathtubs????
Bedroom 3 has no east facing window. Fail.
The middle bathroom under Jack and Jill is labelled 'Bedroom 4’ and there just isn’t one.
It’s incredible. The longer I look the longer I hate it.
Jack and Jill bathroom has 3 sinks. No toilet, no shower, no bathtub. Just sinks.
Mudroom and Laundry has no washer/dryer plumbing, just 2 bathtubs and 2 sinks. Uh-huh.
2 of the bathrooms are windowless.
Also if the water heater is in the garage the guest bath is gonna have to run the taps for 20 minutes to get a warm shower.
Imagine the property listing:
3 Bedroom, 7 Bathroom home, ½ a kitchen, no front door, 8 toilets. No offers under $1.8m.
Fucking nightmare.
Sending it to my dad who was in construction. Should be a laugh.
For further context, the OP is in construction and he was making fun of the AI, not supporting it:

The whiplash I felt seeing the episodes last night and this today.
They really had to clarify it ain’t happening and if this means Will getting hurt YET AGAIN I am gonna be so fucking annoyed.
Props to Finn though who was actually honest about it instead of playing coy like every other show that teases a ship but doesn’t follow through.

Random life blurt:
Decided to dip my toe back into the dating sites and ended up connecting with a nice local guy who I had an eerie amount in common with. Engineer, nerd, likes gaming, Christian but more about the community than the faith, lives with brothers for economical reasons, parents are overseas, likes his career but it’s stressful, is looking forward to going to Japan again outside cherry blossom season, he was respectful, kind, thoughtful, would always check my comfort levels while chatting, asked lots of questions about me but the kind where he’s trying to see what makes me tick and get to know me (what superpower would you pick etc). Ended up talking on the phone for an accumulated 3 hrs as well and then he asked me out on a date to meet each other and seemed nervous about my response, I thought it was cute for him to ask officially because we had already talked about places he wanted to take me. I said sure and we made plans to talk the next day and lock in a date and location.
And… Ghost.
Gone. Stopped messaging. Stopped reading my messages. Finite.
At no point was he after anything sexual, or licentious, we were talking like we’d know each other for way longer, comfortable silences on the phone, reassured each other about things that were stressing us out….
Everytime I think I’ve met every flavour of human and can navigate the world with a general understanding of people something like this happens and I just… Don’t get it.
I have Maya Rudolph in my head going ‘To what end? TOOOO what end??!“
Why waste the effort of sending me hundreds of messages, talking to me on the phone and then just decide right after asking me out, 'nah actually’ and disappear without a word.
I figure maybe he’s married and was lying but you think he’d try and get some sexy talk out of it or something right? Instead we had genuine connection and friendly banter and that’s apparently all he wanted. And that’s actually so fucking sad and pitiful the more I think about it.
What kind of person emotionally cheats and lies to someone and then asks them out, gets the yes and then ghosts like it’s the final nail in the coffin. So weird.
Should mention he talked about how he had massive trust issues and dishonesty was the one thing he couldn’t tolerate.
Humans are exhausting man.
