The Lesbian Lorax, I Guess

You are struggling but I don't think the books are the problem

A quick Dru because I was going through Dru withdrawals

and anyway i just wanted to show some support and respect for you because the people arguing about hilson to you/with you are bringing in way too much negativity. and it’s so disheartening because the hilson dynamic is so rich when looking at it from a toxic friendship perspective but apparently that’s not allowed because…idk, whatever their argument is for hilson being “canon”. it sucks because i feel like the show is so much better when looking at dynamics over ships or relationships.

also, platonic love is so important??? and i feel like on here everything has to be a ship or a romantic thing when most of the time, it’s just people showing up for each other and caring??? and the hilson dynamic is so toxic and destructive and that’s the point! it doesn’t make it bad and it doesn’t make it inherently romantic either. “oh but house says amber is the female version of him so-“ so nothing! amber is so much more than just the example to use when talking about two guys. the tragic thing about amber is that she loved wilson enough to care about house’s well-being MEANWHILE house called her a bitch like every other sentence. and wilson’s a cheating jerk in canon but whatever! i got off topic lol

my point was supposed to be about the importance of platonic love and how hilson is incredibly toxic and that’s the point. and not liking the dynamic is okay! i think if robert sean leonard wasn’t such a wonderful actor, i wouldn’t like wilson at all. but it sucks that the reason i like him is because he’s so flawed and terrible and so many people on here try to hide that.

this got long, you don’t have to answer at all, just wanted to send another perspective your way to drown out all the negativity. personally, I don’t care lol. factually speaking, hilson isn’t canon, huddy is and i don’t care for either relationship in a romantic way (unless you’re making a wonderful deep dive about huddy in which case, i mourn what could have been with better writing lol)

also also, i think if people aren’t going to listen, we should start arguing back by saying a wlw ship is canon. like cuddy/stacy or thirteen/amber. just be like “oh yeah, it’s totally canon, did you miss the one joke they made, that was absolutely subtext and it means they made out offscreen. yeah, how could you miss it, it was so obvious?”

how could i forget :) thank you for your lovely message. i appreciate it a lot !!!

so so big on the importance of platonic love thing. i think there's a desire to "prove" that hilson is a canon romantic relationship in an effort to actualize the importance of it, which i think is entirely counter-productive and more than a little bit of a misnomer. i agree with you that the (dys)functionality and intensity of their relationship is much more interesting when looking at it on a platonic level than in trying to fit it into a romantic box.

i continuously have to say that i don't hate the house/wilson friendship — indeed i find it incredibly interesting — because to not be a shipper is perceived as a hatred of the dynamic altogether, which isn't how i feel! why, to take their relationship seriously, does it have to specifically be in romantic context? why does the fandom writ large consider not shipping them as completely disregarding the relationship (or missing the point of the show)? in other words, why is the platonic (canon) reading of this relationship regarded as viewing their relationship as "lesser"? i think that's something for people to sit on and cause to reevaluate where their beliefs are rooted. but that's just my thought!
