finally saw the "my marriages were so crappy I spent all my time with you" episode and Wilson, buddy, that was not that comeback you thought that was. That was gay
Hugh Laurie: Yeah, I would actually love to have House as my doctor. I actually love him as a character so much, and I think he's actually a very sweet, caring person under his rude exterior. I'd love to sit down and have a chat with him.
Robert Sean Leonard: Wilson's a fucking freak and he scares me
I definitely think that part of the reason House and Wilson's relationship is so strong and so important to House is because Wilson is one of the few people who doesn't treat him like he's made of glass. He has his caring moments but on a daily he just couldn't give two fucks.
My best friend is disabled and has to walk with a cane? Saw that bitch in half for fun.
He just returned from jail after a psychotic breakdown? Punch him in the face.
He's asking way too many questions about a topic I want to hide from him? Simply outrun him.
I thought y'all were doing the whole "two guys from an old TV show spent a lot of time in the same shot so we headcanon them as gay" thing with House MD. Like I expected to be disappointed but no, if anything the show is SIGNIFICANTLY more gay than I was led to believe. House and Wilson really are in a toxic quasi platonic quasi not relationship that hurts them both that they just cannot let go of without losing an integral part of themselves, meaning they are each the one "stable" point in each other's lives. They enable each other in incredibly fucked up ways. At first glance they seem like the stereotypical "straight laced meets bad boy" but no, one of them dates their dying patients and steals someone's spoon to run it through a cancer test to settle a bet and comes up with clever little manipulative plots to subtly torture the other one in the name of helping them and it is not House.
Also both of them just act a lot more gay than I anticipated. Like House talks a LOT about how pretty Chase is and seems to know the ins and outs of the gay scene really, really well. And Wilsons actions towards House just cannot be explained away platonically, like if that man does not desire House carnally what the actual fuck is he doing. He runs to House when he's getting divorced from his wife even though he could afford a hotel room and then House fucks with him while also trying to trick him into staying and he STILL DOESN'T LEAVE for like another couple of weeks like what kind of insane psychosexual old man yaoi is going on here.
They're both just so fucked up and such terrible people and it is so fascinating.
