every other southerner/appalachian is screaming this at the top of their lungs too but im begging folk to stop losing their humanity when this region suffers. all alleged empathy blue state folk have is flown out the window when we're freezing or flooding to death. is it so hard to remember we're all human? so hard to process the nuance that good folk exist in a place you think is bad, and even the folk you think are bad dont deserve to die from the malicious apathy of their manipulative politicians? so hard to get that the death of human beings you'll never know the names of shouldn't be celebrated just because you assume they voted red? we are all people. i dont understand how you can be so cruel.
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.
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
