need more fics that capitalize off of whitaker being from nebraska. like, him explaining what the fuck runza is to santos. wearing old koolaid days shirts under his scrubs. him and langdon arguing over college football and how the huskers are definitely making a come back this year.
it’s incredibly likely whitaker used to party in cornfields in high school. someone please write him telling javadi how to shotgun a beer or something.
Absolutely obsessed with your santos and Whitaker headcanons please keep them coming! I’ve gone through all the fics on ao3 already lol
thank you! it's nearing the end of the school year for me, so unfortunately i'm too busy to make much fanfiction/art for them even though i dabble in both.
here's more headcanons, because i can't stop thinking about them:
santos has a major sweet tooth. once or twice a week, she buys herself an iced mocha and a slice of strawberry cake from this cafe that's en route to the hospital.
whitaker's bible has a small lamb embroidered onto the front. it's one of the two belongings he still has from nebraska. the other is a sweatshirt from the university he did his undergrad at.
she has to keep an eye on whitaker at all times when they visit the local asian market because he's too busy staring in awe to notice what's going on around him.
whitaker is very obsessed with banana sauce. he puts it on everything once he's tried it.
santos gave him buldak ramen without telling him how spicy it was once. it was funny for about a minute until she realized that this white boy really can't handle spicy food. he tries eating the whole thing because wasting food makes him feel guilty. santos stops him after 3-4 bites because this looks like actual, physical torture for the guy. she still makes fun of him after, of course. while handing him the whole milk jug.
santos gets way too into his stories about animal slaughter. one time he had to leave in the middle of talking about how he dissected a rat when he was first curious about studying medicine and the first thing she did when she saw him again was demand to hear the rest.

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 😭😭
santos texting her landlord
i feel like whitaker just… doesn’t yell. like he can obviously yell when he’s scared or it’s like necessary but he just doesn’t really raise his voice. if he’s frustrated he just grits his teeth, sighs through his nose, and carries on.
santos — because she is the way she is (and i love her for it) — keeps trying to get him to break. it unnerves her how he just doesn’t seem to get mad at her. oh he definitely gets annoyed and exhausted, but he doesn’t raise his voice. when she won’t stop kicking him in the ass when he’s fixing the clogged sink drain he just… lets her do it. if she’s being lazy and wants some ice cream from the freezer but doesn’t want to get up she only has to whine for a few minutes before he groans and gets it for her.
she’s trying to see his boundaries. to see how far she can push until he proves that he’s just like every other man she’s met and the fact that he won’t fold irks the shit out of her. idk i don’t think they’d ever really talk about it, but whitaker is a smart cookie and would probably figure out what she’s trying to do a few months in. he’d probably casually drop that his older brothers yelled at him all the time and then his poor mom would yell herself hoarse trying to get them to quit and oh here comes his dad yelling for everyone to shut the hell up. so he’s just always been quiet. quiet little dennis who once walked on a broken ankle for a few days because he didn’t wanna bother anyone.
and santos learns to live with that. to live comfortably with a guy who won’t scream at her or hurt her even when he gets mad at her. she learns to relax. to stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I decided to cook
"i was an undergrad theology major."
yeah, i can see it.
favorite things about sangihun
favorite things about sangihun?
how you can see the forty years of history right under each word of their conversations.
how, even after his death, gi-hun hangs on to every word sang-woo says.
how sang-woo spends all of the games trying to avoid his past. how gi-hun continues to drag him back to it. how it ends with him in gi-hun's arms.
i love to think about what could've gone differently with them. what could've given them that happy ending that they so desired.
i love to think about the moments they've stolen over the years. the ones they don't talk about. the ones that they told themselves were accidents.
i love how intertwined they are, most of all. no matter what, they always will be.
docsu for ship bingo 🙏🙏🙏🙏
one of the best rarepairs from this show. they need more (fan)art/fics.
we do not talk enough about Whitaker snapping back "day's only half over" when Santos says "at least I haven't killed anyone"
he may be an innocent, wet kitten farm boy half the time but this boy has SASS and ATTITUDE from being tortured by three older siblings as a kid and I love to see it. I cannot wait to see the Whitaker/Santos relationship develop into them being ride-or-dies who insult and bitch at each other all day long
(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.
dr john shen clocking in early as attending (after having been one for only 3 months) on this fucky ass day because there's an MCI and then once things start slowing down a kid comes in with measles and his parents are being unreasonable and while he deals with that he has to deal with those two old white men refusing to end their damn shifts and one of the day shift residents almost gets fucking arrested and there's an 18-year-old in custody in one of the rooms who will likely stay there all night with his sad mum and the day shift attending just showed a patient's father the fucking make-shift morgue and then right when they're about to close trauma a man's pelvic gets crushed and he has to stand there and listen to walsh and abbot argue over what is supposed to be his patient, really, and he can see the day shift attending dissociate for ten solid minutes and no one's even told him there are two rats still loose in his damn department and abbot calls him a nerd
Whitaker, undergrad theology major, seeing someone crying and praying at the same time: finally something I have been extensively trained to deal with
never let me cook again
why are we sleeping on sang-woo’s puppy dog eyes. HELLO????
i’m gonna do it. PATHETIC MAN ALERT 🚨
ali + sang-woo | "i'm your man" - mitski
HYUNSEOK FOR SHIP BINGO
not my favorite hyun-ju pairing, but a great one regardless.
Sangwoo standing up and calling out the third clause of the consent form while the square guard was trying to shut down other players by calling on the second clause was so sexy. Sangwoo out here fighting fire with fire and winning
santos' drunkenly revealing to (equally drunk) whitaker those parts of her past. and for a moment, she just studies him. expecting him to get a little sad, maybe. unintentionally pitying. tell her he's sorry that happened. but he's just sitting there, staring at the wall. and when he opens his mouth, it's this pure, raw anger that she wasn't even sure he was capable of. it's low and shaky and she can't find herself a voice to interrupt him because what the fuck was even happening right now? the morning after, he's making breakfast and two prairie oysters before santos even wakes. they don't mention it again.
JIYEONG FOR CHARACTER BINGO
i love her.
