cameron is "what if wilson was Actually the person he proclaims to be" foreman is "what if house was Actually who he wishes he was" chase is a slut who spreads his legs for anything that moves. kutner is dead

whenever the ducklings start to get Too Worried about House’s Antics™️, they just casually report to Wilson. then Wilson soft-doms House into not being an idiot.

guys hear me out imagine house md veterinary hospital au in which:

house got kicked by a cow during his internship and his leg didn’t heal properly which made him use a cane

he was forced to switch to small animal practice, he still hates clients but his fluffy patients love him for some unknown reason

wilson specialises in equine medicine (wilson is basically a horse girl) and because their hospital doesn’t get much calls for horse consults he spends most of his time being annoyed by house

instead of being exposed to hiv cameron gets bit by a rabid 16 year old yorkshire terrier

a lady comes with an obese labrador and chase nearly gets rabid himself

the ducklings are responsible for restraining first and treating patients second

foreman is afraid of small dogs

chase makes fun of him but he’s terrified as well

cameron has four senior sick rescue cats which seem to be immortal

house is addicted to ketamine instead of vicodin

there’s at least one joke about chase’s interest in bdsm and getting bit

wilson always gets a new golden retriever when entering a new marriage, the dogs always stay with his ex-wives

house constantly remarks that he should change his motorcycle for a horse to wilson’s horror

stevie mcqueen was actually brought to the hospital by a rescue for lab animals, house adopted stevie after his treatment was finished

cuddy specialises in animal reproduction and house constantly tries to win the argument by bringing puppies to her office (she folds on occasion)

house nearly does a necropsy on a goat with anthrax

Look at how he looks at his kids. This signature combination of fatherly consideration, disappointment and "God they're adorable".

As a side note - Foreman is the eldest, arguing with Cameron, who is the middle child. And Chase is the moronic youngest sibling who's just standing there like "WHaT wE TaLkiNG 'BoUt aGaiN??"

i've been rewatching house and started jotting down little things about the characters and set, now my notes app just looks like one big study on a bunch of caged animals

we as a society don’t talk about how hilarious the tritter arc is but also how good it is simultaneously. they got a corrupt cop to personally want to humiliate and annoy house for no reason but like not in a threatening way he just wants to break up his relationships like a toxic ex. he tries to get his coworkers to turn against him and his boy best friend to break up with him and testify against him but it doesn’t work because wilson is loyal to the core and loves house and the only person who gets ostracized from the DDX crew is chase because he’s the most opportunistic of them. tritter actually makes good points like why is a vicodin addicted doctor allowed to do medicine and he should be forced to get help/face the consequences of his actions and cuddy and wilson enable him. we know that later on he actually gets help and is able to be clean from vicodin but in season 3 that seems like an impossibility. it’s comical how small the stakes are with tritter he’s literally just there to annoy house and turn people he cares about against him but it doesn’t even work. and yet tritter has the ability to really test the people around house, even wilson breaks and makes a deal with him. this proves that everyone’s loyalty towards house is conditional (to a degree) even if it doesn’t work in tearing down house like tritter intended. either way it is extremely compelling and silly at the same time. i love it.

plot bunny Modern AU where jin ling invites the juniors home and they’re all scared to meet his terrifying uncle. Surprisingly, said uncle also has people over

“I’m friends with jiang cheng”

“impossible, jiujiu doesn’t have friends”

turns out it’s nhs, jiujiu’s old friend from school, and wwx, (one of) jin ling’s estranged uncle(s). And basically they both see how nervous the other juniors are and are just like “??? It’s just Jiang cheng??” So to lighten the mood they start to tell increasingly ridiculous and embarrassing (and true) stories about what they and Jiang cheng used to get up to in school. Story by story Jiang cheng’s scary image starts to crack and eventually just falls of completely when he starts to retaliate by telling of how embarrassing wwx and lwj used to be about each other and how “obvious” it was that they both liked each other and still do. At this point wwx has an epiphany and panics to find some portable speakers so that he can go recreate the Say Anything boombox scene with wuji.mp3. Ozz and jingyi get really into the “go to him”-mood.

more stories are told and somehow it ends with sangcheng, lingyi, and wangxian happening + they’re now Officially Jiujiu Approved friends and everyone’s happy. The juniors are welcome over anytime they like and everyone’s gained new friends by the end of the evening

anyways the fic would be called (Tales of) Jiujiu’s Bizarre Adventures

I love you Cameron & Foreman bickering coalition I love you allusions to Choreman offscreen interactions I love you ducklings gossiping about each other I love you Foreman talking about Chase with this expression on your face I love you season one

(s1e15, Mob Rules)

I know they're supposed to be ducklings but fuck do these just make me CRY thinking about them and MC

Searching for character descriptions of Tamu and Sefu STAT

Oh my goodness, I love this! How adorable!!

Y'all should label who is who in this picture, haha!

And Tamu and Sefu are described earlier in the story, but I'll have to add another now that y'all are grown up. I'm pretty sure their artbreeder portraits are around here somewhere. (Speaking of, I need to commission an artist for the portraits, asasp.)

House MD Characters and Their Mentors

Oh look it's more of this very niche character analysis. This time I'm looking at which of @lorata's District Two Victors would be good mentors for House characters. House fans reading this: you would really like Lorata's writing. Only limited Hunger Games knowledge required (basically you need to know the premise); lots of messed up people making the best of things, found family shenanigans, emotional angst, and queerness.

Anyway, time for mentors!

James Wilson: Devon. The essence of a Devon tribute. Really wants to make the world better. Fairly messed up and depressed, but does genuinely care about the district, and even the kid he volunteers for. The one bit of really key information we are provided about Devon's tributes is that Devon's dreamers burn bright, but flame out as the reality of the Games shatters their world view. This reminds me a lot of how House says that "Wilson thinks that if he cares enough he'll never have to die" contrasted with Wilson's feelings of betrayal and devastation that he, a oncologist who gave his life to treating cancer, is dying of cancer. He served the Capitol, believed everything the Center told him, and the truth of the Games ---the pain and the guilt and the injustice of it all--- is a sudden betrayal that completely unbalances him. The only way he wins is through temporary Arena madness, the kind of desperation that caused him to double his dose of chemo in a last ditch effort to survive and make the world make sense again during canon. Devon's main challenge post-Arena is helping him rebuild his shattered sense of self: Wilson thought he was a good person, but you can only win the Hunger Games by being vicious. Devon, as someone who had a similar break, is the best choice to help him form a cohesive identity. Devon can see him for who he actually is, all of it, and still say he cares. Devon can cite his own struggles with accepting care without "enough work" in return to get Victor!Wilson to step back from compulsively ignoring his needs to "earn" affection. Devon can pull him out of spirals about how his mental state is worse than his brother's now and show him how there is a way forward. The Victory Tour almost kills him, all those people hate him even though he only ever did what was asked of him and what he thought was right. Along with Devon, there is probably only one other person who could help him embrace that he does not need to be perfect or liked by everyone, which brings us to...

Gregory House: Adessa. I went through multiple avenues with this one. First I thought Callista, because viciousness and unapologetic attitude. Then I thought Lyme, because abusive childhood, resentment of the rules, and attachment issues. So we had option A and option B...and we somehow landed around option L. I dismissed Callista because of the reasons I thought Lyme. I moved away from Lyme because she works best with tributes who want to open up but can't until after they win. Claudius wants a family, Misha wants affection, etc. House wouldn't want to open up--- he would want respect, validation, and someone to make everything make sense. The reasons Adessa wasn't a good fit for Nero would make her a great fit for Victor!House. Nero wanted to be told Adessa loves him, but House wouldn't trust any obvious display of affection---instead perceiving his mentor's care for him through nonverbal actions she takes: exactly what Adessa expected to be true of Nero. Adessa can make recovery and all the chaotic, swirling feelings fit within a reasonable framework. She can answer his questions and treat him like someone with a rational mind. She knows that if he opens up, he probably doesn't want to be touched. She understands why he doesn't want the cuddly relationship that Victor!Wilson would have with Devon. She wouldn't pressure him to talk about feelings before he was ready and would give him space when he was ready. She understands his intellectual curiosity. She's probably the only one who could get him to invest in therapy. He wouldn't go based on "I've been there" talks or "I care about you" talks, he would go because "after a significant trauma the logical course of action is to seek medical care, so that one can be assigned medications to regulate neurotransmitters, and to remove unwanted chaos so one can better focus on more important matters." Oh, and also if John House every showed up to take credit for shaping his son into a Victor, Adessa has a briefcase full of knives and decades of fantasizing about taking revenge on behalf of her Victors. They would find his body in pieces...probably. If Adessa was feeling nice and wanted Blythe to have closure.

Devon is terrified when Adessa requests a meeting with him. Misha asks him what he did like fifty times and he doesn't know. He almost calls his mentor, but doesn't because he's a mentor too now, dammit and Adessa totally shouldn't scare him anymore. When he shows up she opens with: "Our Victors appear to have significant romantic attraction to each other. Shall we hasten their union via jointly planned manipulation, culminating in an arranged one-on-one meal over candlelight, perhaps involving the exchange of flowers?"

Lisa Cuddy: Nero. This one is hard. Cuddy is a lot more difficult to analyze than House and Wilson even though I actually prefer her over House (Wilson is my favorite, he just has so many problems, weird habits, and hidden depression). She has a lot of contradictions. She's manipulative, but empathetic. She genuinely advocates for the rules, but allows for crazy ass things to take place. She seems to argue for the rules because she has to, but is inherently drawn to the more chaotic, vigilante tendencies of House. She puts on a show of obeying regulations set by those above her, but seeks power so that she can facilitate what she thinks is right (she repeatedly says she's the only one who would employ House). This is reflective of a Nero tribute. She doesn't know why she is drawn to violence and competition of the Centre, but she is. She completes her kill tests with the highest scores in her year, but she mainly only feels guilty for not feeling guilty. She doesn't have a rationalization for why she is like this the way someone with House's history has. She should want to join the Peacekeepers or be a medic. But the more time passes in the Centre, the more she wants to win the Hunger Games. She goes into the Games a year early, the youngest District Two volunteer in history, and even though she knows the killing is wrong she still wants to win because why shouldn't it be her? She's better at this than the others. However, the inner conflict causes problems post-Games, as the criticisms from other districts actually hurt her, because she agrees. She knows there's something wrong, she fears she might secretly be evil. Nero, with a lifetime of dealing with conflicted, crazy tributes, knows how to reassure her that even if that something is actually wrong, she still has people who love her.

Bonus! Ducklings:

Foreman: Brutus. He's just here to do his job. He knows he's better than his Centre rivals, so his job is the Games. Trying to make it right or wrong will only drive you crazy.

Chase: Lyme. Daddy issues, alcoholism in the family history, wants the authority to like him. Lots of weird hidden triggers.

Cameron: Emory. Wants to be a decent person, just kept going in the Centre because she figured no one would pick her and she owed it to her district to keep trying. She had a baby Victor crush on House and Adessa had to take Emory aside and be like "the baby is making my Victor uncomfortable, tell her to calm down."

Thirteen: Misha. Rules are for suckers, enjoy your life while you have it, desperately try to find meaning in the world while pretending you don't give a shit.

Kutner: Lyme. Wants to find a place to belong, shoves his emotional issues down because he thinks nobody cares. Thinks outside the box, but still responds well around authority he respects.

Taub: I have no fucking idea. Seriously, the more I try to think about this the more I have no thoughts, head empty. Maybe Odin? Odin has a "do what you're supposed to do no matter what, no matter the cost" ideology that would cause a mentor mismatch like Adessa and Nero but at least that mismatch is something.

Anyway if one (1) person requests a Victors!House/Wilson I will write scenes so you have been warned.

house md summary seasons 1-3

Very rough WIP of Sanguinius Ducklings

Wilson's doctor handwriting vs. the Ducklings confused af trying to read it LMAO. They're so spoilt by House's nice DDX handwriting

nobody can convince me that house at some point didn't wanted to mess with the ducklings' heads and started acting strangely affectionate towards Wilson to convey the idea that they were going out, and Wilson at one point went to confront house and ended up submitting himself to the game to make the ducklings freak out

I'm still thinking about the post where you have to get rid of three characters from House.

Still thinking about what a show without House, Wilson, or Cuddy would look like.

I feel like it depends a lot on when they all disappear. Like was it at the beginning, because if it was the hospital probably just becomes normal, and the show is boring as fuck. But if it's after a little while (or a spin off after the end) I feel like we could absolutely follow the malpractice ducklings into their chaos careers.

Love Cuddy 2.0 Foreman and his obsession with being right, and firm, and consistent.

I love House 2.0 Chase, and his complicated relationship with Religion, and himself, and House.

I love Thirteen, and her struggling to figure out life now that House isn't there to promise her death.

I dunno I'm fascinated.
