"It's almost like a sibling thing with Santos. It's been really fascinating to watch people's reactions to Santos, and she can rub a lot of people up the wrong way. But I think with Whitaker, I think he almost sees through her quite a lot. He grew up with five brothers, he's a sibling, so I think he really just sees someone who is coping in their own way by deflecting with jokes and jabs. So I don't think it actually bothers him that much, and I think Santos sort of knows that as well. I'm an easy target, but she knows she's not really gonna affect me." — Gerran Howell (x)
ISA BRIONES & GERRAN HOWELL as TRINITY SANTOS & DENNIS WHITAKER in THE PITT: Season One
last night i annotated sang-woo’s apartment (for fic purposes, but there’s some funny ones on there)
i swear @player016 did smth similar so this is lowkey inspired by them 🙏 (sorry for the tag)
tap/zoom for clearer image! also sorry if my handwriting is atrocious 😭😭
(potential) ways people find out santos and whitaker are close/living together:
whitaker calling santos "trin" in front of their coworkers, santos not batting an eye and answering to it, and both of them pausing suddenly when they realize what happened.
santos putting an arm around whitaker's shoulders and ruffling his hair at random intervals throughout the day.
one of them instinctively stepping in front of the other when a fight breaks out in the hospital.
accidentally falling asleep while leaning on each other in the break room after a long shift.
santos handing whitaker a shopping list while passing him in the hallway.
one getting injured/passing out and immediately asking for the other when they wake up, still half-asleep.
^ alternate scenario: getting put on meds and saying something disgustingly sentimental. if it's whitaker, santos would get a bit emotional in the moment but will definitely make fun of him when he's sober. if it's santos, she'll be stuck wondering why whitaker looks so pleased with himself until someone tells her what happened.
discussing what they're going to eat for dinner while everyone is clocking out.
This might sound weird, but something I really love about The Pitt is the silence.
Medical dramas often get this so wrong, obviously for cinematic effect, but still; during an emergency in the ER, there isn't this overly dramatic yelling or shouting. Medical personnel needs to act fast and communicate a lot between nurses, doctors, technicians, and it cannot be done effectively if everyone is losing their shit crying and shouting. I am not saying there's whispering, but people are so focused they cannot afford to be dramatic about the actual dramatic situations unfolding; they need to stay clear-minded. Also, there is no tense or fast paced background music irl.
And the Pitt gets it: beeping and sounds of the machines aside, there is no unnecessary noise.
The only noises are patients arguing, mostly with each other or with their relatives -accurate- or the resident friendly neighbourhood drunkard yelling in the corridor to whomever passes by he wants to eat -also accurate.
"i was an undergrad theology major."
yeah, i can see it.
everyone. i don't know how this just clicked for me.
this is langdon right now:
addict (in recovery, by season two at least)
loves his kid(s)
complicated relationship with other parent
you know who's going to notice this? MCKAY. mckay is going to notice this and when she looks at him, she'll see a 30-year-old cassie in his place. and they are going to have a heartfelt conversation about it. multiple even. walk with me.
Specific sensory experiences I think Gihun would find triggering from his time in the games:
- Hearing the endless ticking of a clock. Imagine it wearing on him with each soft sound, filling him with panic as the seconds pass by, convincing his nervous system that something awful will happen when time is up.
- Losing his footing. Have you ever walked on glass or ice or another slick surface, especially on your socks? It’s easy to slip. He also lost his footing during tug of war and was hanging off the edge for a terrifying moment, so I think that moment of adrenaline when he slips would be hard to recover from.
Apparently the Squid Game director made the cast test out the pentathlon game to figure out the right time limit, and now all I can picture is a cursed behind-the-scenes AU where Inho is like:
“Circle guards, we’re playtesting. Mask up. Game time.”
So now you’ve got a bunch of poor exhausted guards, who thought today was just gonna be corpse disposal and trauma, suddenly lined up for Red Light, Green Light like it’s gym class. And then Inho shows up—fully masked, trench coat flapping in the wind like some kind of dystopian PE teacher—and joins the game.
He’s doing everything with them, completely dead serious. They’re crawling through the honeycomb challenge and Inho’s right there, carving his shape with surgeon-level precision, muttering “Inconsistent sugar texture. We need a 12.3% longer boil.” like it’s a bomb diffusal exercise.
the / in ship pairings is the wound btw
Managed to gif some of the instances where Beom-jun smiles/laughs and quickly cuts it off. I like that little detail about him.
