The reason BJ is good is the same reason James Wilson is good. It’s all about having a character that is so steady, so buttoned up that they provide the perfect “straight man” for your unhinged main character to play off of. And yeah you do get little sparks of mischief from them. That’s why the unhinged main character likes them after all! It’s because they can keep up. It’s all well and good. And then one day you look under the hood of the car and what you see is so fucked up that it makes the unhinged main character seem normal by comparison. In fact the unhinged main character is now running around after them being like “no baby please calm down I can take care of you it’s ok”

such a great way of saying "this music sucks"
we talk about wilson being awful and evil deep down and he is but importantly that doesn’t erase the sincerity of his kindness. he is truly kind. he needed to help that old woman in post mortem because he does care about people. what makes him interesting is that he doesn’t want to. he gets mad at himself for being kind and nice and selfless and enabling. he wants to be selfish and mean. he would be happier that way. meanwhile house hates himself for being selfish and mean. house wants to be kind. house would be happier if he was wilson and wilson would be happier if he was house. and both of them are only able to be those versions of themselves when they’re together. they not only want to be with each other, they want to be each other. but the fucking tragedy of it is that they actually need to be the versions of themselves that they don’t like to be together. because if wilson was mean he would’ve dumped house ages ago and if house was kind wilson wouldn’t find him interesting. house loves that wilson is secretly evil but needs him to be kind, and wilson loves that house is secretly kind but needs him to be evil. they can’t change. they have to suffer themselves to enjoy each other. they’re plagued with an inability to be who they want to be in anyone’s arms but each other’s, but they both have to be who they don’t want to be to be in each other’s arms. the immutable tragedy of the hilson paradox
“I’ve always thought it really was Wilson’s story. Holmes is only who he is by the grace of Dr. Watson.”
