BUT

I love Robby becuase he is a REALISTIC depiction of a sad fuckin guy with a stressful job and abandonment issues.

That's one thing I love about this show in general— Dennis was a homeless, exhausted, twenty something med student who comes from a religious tiny town in Nebraska and as a result is a bumbling, clumsy, nervous wreck his first day in the ER. And a doctor who is not confident is not a good doctor or one you would feel safe haveing as your doctor but it is realistic. It would make no sense to make him super confident and infallible.

LANGDON IS AN ADDICT! Of course he lied to his boss and mentor bc he doesn't want to get caught even if he's trying to convince himself what he's doing isn't wrong and he's doing better by keeping it a secret. He is endangering patients, staff, himself left and fuckin right that first season and that is real. Code of conduct and medical ethics exist for a reason, someone is out there doing thIs exact shit in a real ER.

One time, Dennis had given Jack back his card bc he needed that specific card for something and had forgotten to hand it back to him. Dennis had been out to eat with Trinity and was going to pay but remembered the lack of his boyfriend’s card and had slid his own card into the reader with a pout. He sent a picture to the two of them of his receipt with the message had to fend for myself today :( attached. He immediately got a Venmo from Jack covering the entire meal and a text that said I’ll get you set up with Apple Pay when you get home, sorry about today babe.

Trinity started laughing at him and called him their sugar baby, but Dennis just rolled his eyes bc even she was reaping the benefits of their salary’s. It was only last week that she tagged alongside Dennis and Robby to dinner and drinks and there wasn’t even a question on whose tab Trinity’s food was going on. After a few cocktails the two had begged Robby to let them have a sleepover, the older man just laughing at the show they were putting on for him (“dude, I promise if we do a little choreography for him he’ll say yes no issue.”) as he pushed them into the car. He drove them to the convenience store by the house and let them have free rein over the isles, just pushing the cart and clicking his tongue at the sweets they kept piling in. They got to the checkout counter, Dennis and Trinity leaning on each other for support as the lady scanned each item and asked Robby cash or card? Before he could pull his credit card out of his pocket, Trinity slid over a pack of gum from the rack and told him “wait, I’ll definitely need this for tomorrow,” Robby just nodding along and handing over the pack to the lady with a smile.

This feels a little like a prequel to my previous post haha :)
