Because I'm Hitting That. And It's Totally Hot.

I just watched House episode 305, 'Fools for Love', and I will admit to getting rather emotional at the end. I absolutely want to marry Foreman now.

I agree with what Foreman said: if you're not actually brought up in a familial relationship, blood ties alone mean very little. The concept of Ed and Al having a sexual relationship makes me rather uncomfortable because they are siblings, born and raised as siblings. Mr. Knightley/Emma also makes me uneasy, even though they're not actually related, because their relationship is like that of a father and daughter. Oedipus having sex with his mother doesn't bother me at all. He doesn't know she's his mother; she doesn't know he's his son; there has never been a filial relationship. It disturbs me a little when he, y'know, stabs out his eyes, but for completely different reasons. (I so wanted to tag this entry 'but what are your thoughts on incest?', but that would have been a spoiler.)

The couple in that episode were lovely. Finding out that they were half-siblings didn't affect the way in which I looked at them in the slightest; it just made me feel sorry for them.

And Foreman was so lovely! He wanted to protect them from the revelation and tried to reassure them and awww, Foreman. I love him so much.

On another note, I was very pleased by House obsessing over Wilson's love life, because he obsesses in the same lunatic way over Dr. Cox and JD in the House/Scrubs crossover. It's so nice to see a trait you're sure a character has come out in canon. (The 'MAN, I'M AWESOME' ends here, I promise.)

There wasn't much Cameron in this episode (that's another thing: it's nice to see another character being very sympathetic for once), but she was being rather awesome when she did appear. Hooray for Cameron!

Finally, oh the House/Wilson, and also I started noticing Chase/Foreman in this episode for almost the first time. Am I determined to fall in love with every single pairing possible? It's got to the stage at which it would be quicker to list the pairings I don't support.

Overall, I approve of this episode. I approve of it a lot.

I'd want to marry Chase because he is pretty and I am shallow. I would want Foreman as my doctor though!

Chase is pretty, but he's also often selfish and can be a bit of a twit. I adore him, but on the order of marriageability of House characters he - well, he comes ahead of House and Wilson, but that's really not saying much.

House is permanently unmarryable and Wilson will cheat at the wedding reception, I think.

I know you didn't ask for my - or, indeed, anyone's - thoughts on incest, but here they are anyway:

I agree with you that parents and their children, or siblings, tend to have a certain kind of tie that you don't really find anywhere else. But I don't think it's because of any kind of blood link; it's just that their relationship is, from start to finish, made and maintained in a way very different to that of someone outside the family.

...if you know what I mean.

And I'd probably have a bit of trouble with the idea that people with that kind of link could become lovers. But the same goes for friends who are so close they're like siblings, or a younger person who sort of 'adopts' an older one as a parent. Or vice versa. (Um, I mean an older person adopting a younger one as the child they never had, not an older person adopting a younger one as a parent. That's a wee bit creepy.)

That said, depending on how it's worked, it's not entirely inconceivable that I wouldn't ship an incest pairing. I see Ed/Al in some situations, although if you search for it on fanfiction.net it is generally written in such a way as to make you want to DASH YOUR BRAINS OUT AGAINST THE WALL...but...yes. I can see it for some people.

...

If this comment made any sense at all, I demand a cookie.

OH MY GOD LIVEJOURNAL STOP FAILING TO POST MY COMMENTS. YOU SUCK.

Ahem. Anyway, that's pretty much exactly how I see it (what you said, not 'OH MY GOD LIVEJOURNAL YOU SUCK'): for me, the concept of 'incest' is more to do with the emotional relationship than anything genetic. I'd consider a sexual relationship between adoptive siblings more 'incestuous' than, for example, the couple in this episode, who, although they had the same father, had no idea that they were related and weren't brought up together.

Also, WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST PEOPLE ADOPTING YOUNGER PEOPLE AS PARENTS, HUH? NO COOKIE FOR YOU.

The fact that people older than me have previously seen fit to make me substitute mother, and it's CRUSHED MY BRAIN.

They were lovely. It made me so sad when she requested a different room. In my heart of hearts, I'm firmly convinced that they talked things out and decided that they still loved each other, dammit, after the credits rolled.

Yes! I immediately started trying to create happily-ever-after scenarios in my mind, because I become much too attached to fictional characters and can't bear to think of those two being destroyed by this.

Arg, that episode! Also, yes, agreeing with the whole blood tie thing that

The concept of Ed and Al having a sexual relationship makes me rather uncomfortable ...

I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE?! GLEE.

... Right, we were talking about House. Man, I liked it, but the ending of that episode made me sad. Especially with them ending up in different rooms after everything that had just happened and just... *sad faces*

Fall in love with all the pairings! Doooooo it.

Especially House/Wilson. Because of the blatant love. *nods like she isn't guilty of also pairing everyone with every single other person ever*

Well, I was pretty much doomed to fall in love with House/Wilson from the start, because they're based on Holmes and Watson, and Holmes and Watson are the most homosexual Victorians ever. Also there's 'Clueless' and 'Safe' and oh I love them so, even though Wilson is rather sinister and House is a git.

(Er, by the way, I haven't really introduced myself, have I? Basically, I checked out your Livejournal after you reviewed the House/Scrubs crossover (thank you, by the way!), flicked through your recent entries, came across your hilarious squeeful Torchwood recaps, went 'OH MY GOD I LIKE THIS PERSON LOTS' and added you. Hello!)

Holmes and Watson are the most homosexual Victorians ever.

- LOVE. Seriously, I have always adored Holmes and Watson. *pets them*

As for House and Wilson, I'm not always sure of my stance about Wilson but I love House and his gittishness (totally a word, shush) and OH GOD SOMEONE SHOULD WRITE HOUSE/COX. That's me busy then. *headdesk*

(Hello! I'm glad you like me! I looked through your recent entries a couple of weeks ago, being drawn here through the Torchwood community, but got shy and didn't friend you. But then you beat me to the overcoming the shyness thing! *waves like a freak*)

Oh, my. If you wrote House/Cox, I am fairly certain that I would just die of glee. It would be amazing. I sort of wanted to work House/Cox into the crossover, but they were much too busy glaring at each other to listen to me.

Damn them. It would indeed be amazing.

Although I don't know, I might get emotional for JD and Wilson and their futile love. Yes, yes, I am this pathetic.

Okay, I just finished season one, and you win. Foreman is INDESCRIBABLY AWESOME. And Chase is possibly evil, 'though in a less quietly-snarky and side-parted way than Wilson.

I stand by Cameron's annoyingness though.

Victory! Hurrah! (Chase is a bit too inefficient to be properly evil, really, although he does try.)

Cameron was actually the first House character I fell in love with, which took me completely by surprise. I never usually fall for the sympathetic female character, but it is awesome because they have made her niceness into a genuine flaw. SHE IS LOVELY AND I LOVE HER. I can completely understand finding her annoying, though, because she really can be.

Hurrah! Victory! (Chase is a bit too inefficient to be properly evil, really, although he does try. But oh my God have you seen 'Autopsy'? And 'The Mistake'? Along with 'Cursed', which I assume you have seen, those were the episodes that sent me into a state of MAD CHASE LOVE.)

Cameron was actually the first House character I fell in love with, which took me completely by surprise because I never usually fall for the sympathetic female character. But it is awesome because they have made her niceness into a genuine flaw. SHE IS LOVELY AND I LOVE HER. I can completely understand finding her annoying, though, because she definitely can be. (SHE JUST LOOKED AT ME WITH THOSE HURT PUPPY EYES AND I WAS LOST.)

ALSO YOU PUT AN APOSTROPHE BEFORE 'THOUGH'. I FIND THIS RIDICULOUSLY CHARMING.

Naah, he’s more minion than full-blown overlord. And he seems to have taken over Foreman’s place as the House-doubter, which is obviously blasphemy. But I do love him and his grumpy little mouth, and Cursed was fantastic! It cracked me up when he was climbing out of the window to escape the police like a little kid. I haven’t seen the other two though- only the first season, and what there is of the third (as the second is completely stupid and NOT ONLINE).

Cameron is just so self-righteous and… ethical. She got points for the ‘I’m hitting that, and it’s totally hot’ comment, but it’s just not enough awesome to redeem her in my eyes. Plus she’s totally getting in the way of House and Wilson’s true love.

OF COURSE I DID. IT WAS AN ABBREVIATION OF ‘ALTHOUGH’. *is charming, nevertheless*

Oh, Cameron wants to get in the way, but she can't manage it. (Also I have randomly become rather fond of House/Cameron. I AM INCAPABLE OF HAVING OTPs, IT IS HOPELESS, I ALWAYS END UP WITH THREE THOUSAND CONFLICTING PAIRINGS. My mind goes 'HOUSE/SERIES THREE COP? WHY NOT LOL'.)

I REALISE IT IS AN ABBREVIATION OF 'ALTHOUGH'. IT IS JUST THAT I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE WHO ACTUALLY, UM, APOSTROPHISED IT.

(Psst! Send an e-mail to the gmail address in my profile. I need your address for completely not-sinister purposes.)

Hah, no, she can’t manage it! Even when she’s kind of creepily forcing House into dates with her, Wilson is the one he’s with before he goes. And my heart totally melted when Wilson sneakily asked her not to hurt House, d’aaaw.

But they keep filling the main-character-sexual-love-interest/tension quota with her D: if they must do it with anyone, at least let it be Cuddy. She has the whole ‘hear me roar’ thing going for her.

… I find the idea of House/that cop guy strangely fascinating now.

AND YOU’RE POSSIBLY THE FIRST PERSON TO HAVE EVER REALISED *glees*

(Done and done)

I am fairly certain that House has sexual tension with everyone. THERE IS NO QUOTA AT PRINCETON-PLAINSBORO.

I find the idea of House/that cop guy strangely fascinating now.

Excellent. (Watch the final minute of 'Fools for Love'! He pulls up House's jacket to expose his stomach and lingers for no apparent reason. HOUSE/COP FOR EVER.)

.. yknow, I'm sitting here trying to think of someone he hasn't got sexual tension with. And I'm completely failing. EVEN VOGLER.

HAH. YES. I was too busy admiring Hugh's stomach to think about it at the time, but there was so lingering. And I nominate you to write about it.

WHEN YOU SAY YOU FAILED TO POST MY COMMENT, I EXPECT YOU TO NOT POST THE COMMENT. YOU ARE RUBBISH IN TWO DIFFERENT WAYS, LIVEJOURNAL.
