i feel like i am screaming into a void. can anyone hear me

I still can't believe that no one ever picked up on the fact that despite calling him Newbie and all the girl names under the sun... the first ever petname Cox used for JD was 'baby', because I'm still not over it...

The Sullivan Family + JD | Scrubs 3x14

There's a lot going on in this scene.

Dan recognizes a problem in JD's life but he also knows he can't be the one to tell him because of his previous failings throughout their history.

He also is perceptive enough to recognize JD is deeply affected by what Dr. Cox says.

He's is also perceptive enough to realize what JD really wants out of life and his career.

Then we hit a really interesting philosophical point that I haven't really seen in other places: Cox owes a duty to JD that he never really intended to make. While he fights tooth and nail against it, he's JD's mentor and he does owe it to him to not accelerate making him jaded at his job.

Dan also has a familial duty to JD that's a little harder to nail down, so we'll leave it.

Me and @nyatem in the medical show trenches

listen I love destiel and steddie and ineffable husbands just as much as the next guy but two men will NEVER have on-screen chemistry like jd and turk

if Scrubs came out now tumblr would lose their collective shit over JD and Dr. Cox. that ship would finally get the love it deserves.

Scrubs, my dearly beloved

I honestly believe in hospitals there's like this balance, you know? It's like when one person dies, another person gets a chance to live. I like to call it the Circle of Life.

2017 vs 2023

I haven’t drawn scrubs in so long and I don’t really draw that often either but since I’m doing a scrubs rewatch rn I wanted to draw my guys once again

I vividly remember being fifteen/sixteen sitting in the kitchen at 2am watching scrubs “my musical” on repeat for hours at a time (autism innit) drawing all my little drawings using my shitty twist to sharpen pencils and ballpoint pens before taking pictures of them and tearing them to shreds so no one in my house found them lol. This is one of those drawings

Scrubs 4x16 | My Quarantine

It’s 5 am

Thinking about how important the first two Ben episodes are because they set up two of my favorite parallels/mirror moment for Dr Cox and JD. The first one has most of it in JD’s fantasy as he struggles with the idea of telling Ben he has leukemia, hoping that maybe the tests were wrong. The thing that snaps him out of this fantasy is Dr Cox asking if he is holding the results. JD spending an episode in a fantasy isn’t strange. After all, one of the main parts of the shows comedy is JD getting lost in fantasies. But most of My Screw Up sees it being Dr Cox’s turn to spend it in a delusion. Dr Cox who makes fun of JD for getting lost in his head has a whole episode like that. And then JD is the one to pull HIM out of it. JD spends the whole show needing to be pulled back down, and for once he gets to do it for someone else, and it’s heartbreaking.

The second Ben episode sees Dr Cox avoid Ben for all it after the leukemia diagnosis. And JD confronts him and tells him he has to be there for his friend, and Dr Cox says he can’t distance himself from what’s happening and then later in the episode has a change of heart and sits in with Ben to help him get through it. In My Fallen Idol, JD can’t forgive Dr Cox and so avoids him. Every tells him to put aside his feelings to help a friend but he says he cant. And then later in the episode he has a change of heart and sits in with Dr Cox to help him get through it.

Anyway it’s bed time but I’m feral over it
