i also don't think Whittaker and Santos would tell anyone they're living together. Whittaker would be like i can't tell anyone i moved in with Santos or they'll find out i was secretly living in the hospital and Santos is like i can't tell anyone i let Whittaker move in with me that'll destroy my reputation. so they just silently agree to arrive at work separately and not discuss it at work.
eventually after like 6 months Whittaker lets it slip and everyone's very confused bcos firstly no-one thought they were friends and secondly why have they kept this totally normal thing a secret
the unfortunate thing about the second season being 10 months into the future is that we'll never see a bit where javadi gets to private investigator levels of nosy about why santos and whitaker are Like That and concludes they are dating. and when she tells them this, they both look at her like she's killed their childhood pets.
Santos deffo gives big soccer lesbian vibes, I could see her playing field hockey or lacrosse too: the girls who run around in fields with sticks are brutal. but the gymnast idea really gives ties to the CSA Santos experienced, with a lot of people still remembering the Larry Nassar thing, and the Pitt really has to fit in maximum impact with details because they will never have a chance to devote more than a short convo onscreen to anyone’s personal life troubles. So it makes sense, even if Santos in cleats and sports bra feels more natural than Santos in a sparkly leotard
you're right, about all of this. honestly, the more i think about it, the more gymnast santos seems right for her character. i'm hoping we get to know more about her as a gymnast in the following season(s).
nothing more i want in the world rn than a looong outsider pov fic of the pitt crew each finding out that santos and whit are best friends. feed that shit to me slowly like grapes i cant stop thinking about them
do we share one mind, anon?
this is my favorite concept ever actually (as if my posts don't make that obvious). i'm going to gnaw on this for the next few hours if you don't mind.

If that took her out, she'll be lucky to make it through this rotation. I got fifty bucks says she doesn't last through this shift. Come on! Put your money where your mouth is. Uh, no. I didn't say anything, okay? And I sure as hell don't have fifty bucks. I'll be this lady's age before I pay off my student loans.
did you really think i was letting you leave all of this in the tags? (@wittywallflower)
santos and whitaker scenes i want to see in season two:
sharing a tupperware of lumpia for lunch.
whenever one of them finds out about gossip, the first thing they do is try to find the other one.
santos, while trying to get a reluctant whitaker to do something for her: c'mon huckleberry! den, denny- c'mon.
silent communication using the eyes, even better if it's blatantly in front of other people.
santos turning to whitaker, about to ask him to fetch her something, and the camera pans to whitaker with said thing already in his hand.
just one mention of a shared spotify playlist between them. please.
both of them sitting in santos' car and silently decompressing after the shift.

How cute would it be if Dennis started calling Trinity “Tom Sawyer” as a nickname since her initials are T.S. and since she already calls him Huckleberry? 🥰
i had not considered this. we're so back.

being a true whitaker fan means that you are required to be a santos defender. it's what he would want.
Long John Silver’s is in rehab, so Santos will be stuck with the other two dweebs when there’s no attending probably…
ready for the trinity santos and dennis whitaker bestfriendship of all time on levels that no one else can comprehend. i need them to walk into the next season arguing about how trinity broke the coffee machine in the one singular way where it's unfixable. need dennis to talk about how someone tried to break into the apartment and trinity broke their arm in five places. they watch shitty medical dramas together and get genuinely angry at inaccuracies and use said inaccuracies to quiz each other. trinity took no less than 100 pictures on dennis's residency match day. dennis tells trinity that he's survived multiple tornadoes and her only reaction was calling him a loser because he's never been stormchasing. this isn't even all the thoughts i've had and i finished the finale 15 minutes ago
something about how losing a mentor figure and blaming himself for it fucked robby up so bad he couldn't work on the anniversary of his death for 3 years. how he tries and tries and tries to find hope, to find a way to make death easier to accept, to work hard enough that blame is impossible (even though he'll blame himself anyway). something about santos losing a close friend, a confidante, maybe one of the only people in the world who had gone through the same shit she had, and it sticking with her so intensely that she risked everything multiple times to get to the truth, to get to emotional cores of situations even when she didn't have to. something about samira "we don't bring our baggage to the job" mohan getting upset with the dad who refused to admit he was an addict. something about javadi losing it with the dad who loved his son but couldn't just love his son. something about mckay understanding addicts, understanding people and parents who risk everything for their kids. something about abbot spending three hours trying to save a vet. something about how the pitt looks you dead in the eye and says don't you forget for one second that these doctors are people too.

so, season two will be langdon's first day back from rehab, right?
i hope no one tells him about santos and whitaker. obviously when langdon comes back there's going to be some tension between him and her, like there was when he came back during the crisis.
so, whitaker's got constant one-sided beef with him in the first couple episodes. it's subtle enough that no one picks up on it, just hard stares across the room and terse words whenever it's just the two of them. and he's not even doing it for santos or anything—she would hate that—he just can't act like he doesn't see the way langdon behaves with her.
langdon's really confused. whitaker seemed like a nice kid when they met, so what gives?
then there's a scene where it's him, mel, and whitaker. mel asks whitaker what his plans are for after his shift and he offhandedly mentions movie night with a "trin" and eventually (an embarrassing amount of time, actually) langdon makes the connection and curses under his breath.
yep, looked it up because an anon beat you to it. however i'm definitely keeping casual boxer santos as a headcanon. because of course.
hey, santos nation, what sport(s) do we think she played (since she's canonically a former athlete)?
Word of god says santos was a gymnast which is interesting in terms of her backstory but I get soccer vibes from her tbh
just looked it up and yeah, former gymnast. not what i was expecting but i can see it now. also the second soccer mention. she really does give soccer vibes, huh?
no idea if netball is a thing in the us but santos rly strikes me as a netball player.. maybe soccer? but not as a consistent thing she's just really fast and enjoys running. However. boxer santos has my whole heart though im going to keep thinking of that wow ..
it might be played recreationally but, as far as i know, it's not played professionally here. this is also the first time i'm hearing of the sport.
i got the boxer idea because i doubt krav maga is the only martial art that she's into. i feel like she's dabbled in jiu-jitsu. nothing to back this up, it's just a feeling.
soccer is a solid option, i think. your remark about her enjoying running makes me imagine her doing morning runs on her days off.
