Imagine What Could Have Been The Literal Worst Moment Of A Life With Entirely Too Many Awful Moments,

Imagine what could have been the literal worst moment of a life with entirely too many awful moments, instead turns into chatting with a weird but polite guy who gets all giggly over old detective novels, until you realize he knew this was a terrible moment for you but instead of telling you, he just made it fun, and like yeah you're dead but you're less alone than you've felt in ages because as surprised as he was that you could see him, he sees you right back. Maybe the only thing that makes sense is playing at being just like in those novels he likes so much.

one day Charles says something about still being 16. and of course Crystal has to look at him and say all breathy serious

"how long have you been 16?"

and you can hear the audible thud of Edwin putting down his book to give her a look of Disgust.

And she just gives him a look back like 'ah yes, but you knew what i was referencing...'

meanwhile Charles who only kind of paid attention to the twilight movies (when he and edwin watched them once) is looking confused like "since 1989??? when i died?? Crystal you know this"

charles & edwin don’t remember what they look like because they don’t show up in mirrors so they describe how the other looks & ga(y)ze into each others eyes is SUCH a good trope, self recognition through the other, beauty in the eye of the beholder, so long as I exist you will always be loved & your memory will never fade

AND. consider, perhaps. charles Cannot Stand the thought of his bestie walking around not knowing how cute he looks so he ropes the gang into drawing each other. nikos are Very BL manga stylized, flowers blooming behind them, sparkles, hearts, big eyes, etc. (edwin is very flattered. thinks she’s The Cats Pyjamas.) crystals are these realistic charcoal portraits that everyone’s amazed by (rich artist parents). edwin & charles spend sooo much time on theirs. neither of them can draw. charles drawing has a bunch of smiley faces & says —> my best mate! :) next to it. edwin does NOT tear up about it SHUT UP CRYSTAL. edwin frames all the drawings & hangs them in the office.

it’s a nice reminder for edwin, who tried his hardest to be invisible while he was alive, and charles whose friends liked happy, funny, easygoing charles but didn’t see him, that someone remembers & loves them just as they are.

truly nothing about house md prepares you for wilson. he's fucking insane. he's been divorced three times. he's the only person who can scheme just as well as house. he gives a patient his own liver bc he felt bad for him - a patient who didn't even know wilson's name. btw. he noticed a patient had depression bc he never mentioned his grandkids. he starred in a porno. he dosed house with antidepressants for several weeks. he allowed his boybestie and his gf to share custody of him and didn't even try to stop it. house told him to buy a piece of furniture that represented who he was, and he bought a $4000+ organ for house. he was gonna torpedo his career to talk abt euthanasia bc one of his patients suffered longer than he had to. he let house move into his 1 bed apartment bc his therapist thought it'd be a good idea. this man would do anything for anybody if they let him. he'd fucking quit his job to save a snail off the sidewalk. bro is not normal in the slightest
