Go To Hell, Shakira.
I should probably stop leaping from fandom to fandom so wildly in my LiveJournal posts. Some day I shall go back and map out the course of my ramblings.
And now I’m going to talk about Scrubs some more, because I am madly, madly in love with it! Seriously, I can't remember the last time something has made me this happy. Whenever I’m watching it, I can't stop grinning.
As of writing this paragraph (I tend to write my entries in bits whenever something strikes me and post them up when I feel I have a reasonable amount of content – the word ‘content’ is, of course, used loosely), I’ve just seen 'My Big Move', the episode in which Turk is angry with JD and Carla for kissing (I’m watching episodes on a couple of different channels, both of which jump to different places on weekends, so I seem to be at several points in the timeline at once – apparently Turk and Carla are married now?), and I now seriously cannot believe the lack of JD/Turk. CANON KISS, PEOPLE. CANON KISS. DOES THAT NOT MEAN ANYTHING ANY MORE?
And the third ever episode! ‘I miss you so much it hurts sometimes’? As![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kadrin said, the pairing completely makes sense. Why is nobody writing it? I mean, I love Cox/JD to bits, but Turk/JD is adorable and it’s just so obvious and why on Earth does it not exist on the Internet?
All that said, JD/Cox is still totally my One True Pairing. At the risk of sounding like one of those slightly scary ‘OMG IT’S CANON!’ slash fans, well... OMG IT’S CANON.
Seriously, Scrubs is a lot of things, but it’s at least partially a love story about two doctors, neither one of whom is called Elliot. I CITE AS MY FIRST WITNESS DR. COX.
Relationships don't work the way they do on television and in the movies. Will they, won't they, and then they finally do and they're happy forever - gimme a break. Nine out of ten of them end because they weren't right for each other to begin with, and half the ones that get married get divorced, anyway. And I'm telling you right now, through all this stuff, I have not become a cynic, I haven't. Yes, I do happen to believe that love is mainly about pushing chocolate-covered candies and, you know, in some cultures, a chicken. You can call me a sucker, I don't care, 'cause I do... believe in it. Bottom line... is the couples that are truly right for each other wade through the same crap as everybody else, but, the big difference is, they don't let it take 'em down.
One of those two people will stand up and fight for that relationship every time, if it's right, and they're real lucky. One of them will say something.
Um, let’s just ignore the part about chocolates, because, try as I might, I can’t think of an interpretation of JD/Cox that is ‘mainly about pushing (and what is ‘pushing’ supposed to mean? At each other? Off a cliff?) chocolate-covered candies’. However! ‘One of those two people will stand up and fight for that relationship every time’? That’s exactly what the JD/Cox relationship is like. They fight, yes – they fight a lot – but when they’ve fallen out JD obsesses and tries to apologise, and even if he doesn’t, in the end Cox will always forgive him (it always seems to be Cox who initiates the ‘breakup’. AND OMG THERE WAS ALL THAT STUFF ABOUT HOW HE TRIES TO SABOTAGE HIS CHANCES AT LOVE BECAUSE HE’S AFRAID OF BEING HAPPY AND okay now I really am being crazy).
If anyone’s interested, you can see my first attempt at Scrubs fanfiction here. It is JD/Cox and astonishingly pointless, and it is also my third-longest finished fic (despite being only about 2,400 words), adding further support to my suspicions that the length of my fics is directly proportional to how ridiculous they are (the two longer ones are both Doctor Who/Silent Hill crossovers).
My God, I love the janitor. Love love love. Janitor-locker confidentiality! Hee!
Also, I am so, so glad that the show doesn’t have a laugh track.
