The great thing about Gus is that he perfectly oscillates from playing the annoyed straight man to Shawn’s general insanity to yes-anding to an insane degree. For every moment where he says no Shawn, you did not hear that both ways there’s a moment where he, with no prompting, claims that his fictitious grandmother with a broken hip was teaching a line dancing class. For every time he says Shawn, stop messing around at work, there is a time where after Shawn says he’s been “looking at the man in the mirror”, Gus, in a move that never ever fails to make me laugh, with a completely straight face and no impact on the conversation, does the Michael Jackson “he-he”. He’s insane. He thinks he’s normal. He does 11 point turns. He’s a sympathetic crier.

we‘ve been neglecting the bradley calls jake princess agenda
There’s a magnet pulling me to you
Bradley followed Jake outside the Hard Deck intending to have some words with him, but he never has been able to resist the pull between them… they can’t help but surge towards one another again and again
The toothpick and raybans will be lost very quickly ;)
Iineart and sketch below:
huge fan of them not giving sam a love interest and instead putting a suspicious amount of photos of him and bucky throughout his office.
listen. i was yelling about this yesterday and i need to yell about it again.
im forever now thinking about how goose is basically canonized in top gun.
he's held up as this untouchable memory and bradley grows up both in the shadow of that, as well as trying to become that but hes not gonna be bc goose is a memory. hes stuck in time. he can be canonized to that extent because he will never change. he will never grow and make mistakes and that is sad. it is a tragic loss, a pure accident and nothing more. and it was so long ago that time has smoothed the rougher edges he has because goose was human. and bradley??
bradley will never be goose bc goose is long gone but people still look at him and think about his dad first in a lot of ways.
and like.
sure, there are parts of him that are his father bc goose is his dad, and there is some aspect of nature involved. and at which point does he end and goose begins and does he ever stand the chance of knowing when that is?
especially when his godfather looks at him with guilt in his eyes first and love second, even though he tries. and his mom (as far as we can tell) never moves on from that love?
bradley's been in both of their lives so much longer than goose ever did, but hes secondary to goose. they love him, and support him but the way they deal with things regarding bradley feels like they aren't seeing him. they're seeing the same ghost that hovers behind bradley and they're making decisions based on that.
their grief drives them. love for sure as well. but so much grief and that grief is once again used to put bradley secondary.
goose died in a freak accident so that means bradley needs to be saved. it doesn't matter what bradley wanted. it doesn't matter that a child can have the same dreams as their parents and not want to walk the same path. its not bradley trying to be a memory. its someone who grew u around that world and still wanted it.
and like, pulling the papers was never about bradley. it wasn't about wanting him to not join a system that would chew him up and spit him out. or talk about the very real dangers that come with the job, or how isolating it can be because of the travel involved.
they pulled the papers because they didn't want him to become goose. even when they claim to want to protect bradley. they are using the memory of goose to make it happen.
bradley never stood a chance of growing up without that shadow and it kinda makes me sad. hes haunting the narrative in so many ways, but hes also dragging bradley down as well.
Book Jessica x Leto <3
I think one of my favourite things about Jessica x Leto in the Dune book is the fact that they are so secure in their love for each other:
You have Jessica; who is a very well trained Bene Gesserit, who can control every cell in her body, that when it comes to Leto instinctually let's herself feel and emote naturally. (Conceives Alia out of "instinct", cries/breaks down when Leto is in danger/dies, visibly gets upset when people ask her about them getting married etc.)
But Jessica is also very secure in her knowledge that Leto loves her and only her, she says to Hawat that "he'll not marry anyone else, not as long as I live." And she is very confident in that which suggests through words/actions that Leto has assured her of this before.
Similarly with Leto, he's very secure in knowing Jessica loves him and he doesn't consider even for a minute that she is the actual traitor. He says "she's opened/showed her heart to me" and that he "knows her", he also tells Paul himself that he'd sooner distrust himself than Jessica.
And so I think that while we didn't get a lot of them speaking directly to each other in the book, the conversations they have with other characters about their relationship is very telling. There is a sense of communication and deep understanding between them, whether it's verbal/non verbal/physical, that they love each other very much and that they are it for each other.
Then there's an aspect of their relationship that is a bit more tragic to me;
From the start of the book through to the end, even after Leto has died, there is this sense of defence that is constantly surrounding their relationship.
It starts with the Reverend Mother accusing Jessica of having a son purely because of Leto and Jessica has to defend that decision.
Then it's everyone thinking Jessica is the traitor and Leto has to defend her (obvi he gives into the plan for his own schemes but anyway).
Jessica has to defend her love for Leto to Yueh, Hawat, and eventually Gurney later on in the novel. She has to fight off all these accusations and questions about why she hasn't married him or why he didn't marry her.
Paul has to defend his parents' love as well to Gurney when Jessica can't convince him she's not the traitor. (Gurney was a real one for wanting to die for doing that lol.)
And it's really sad that that was something that consistently happened, like after 15/16/17 years they were still having to defend what they had. They were probably very private people and while they did have their own love and understanding of each other, other people just didn't get to see that and so there's this constant sense of protection for both of them for who they love and their family.
And especially for Jessica, who at that point had betrayed the Bene Gesserit more than once, being accused and having to defend her loyalty when everything she had done was out of love for Leto.
There's something so visceral about their story and the way they love each other that really resonates with me idk
Bob: Don't you get jealous?
Hangman: I never really had anything to worry about. Roo was never really good at the flirting thing.
Rooster: What are you talking about? It worked with you.
Hangman: Oh, you know what? You're right. We met, you flirted, and then bam! Ten years later you had me!
but “thank you for saving my life” maverick has spent more than three decades believing that the world would be better if he had been the one to die in that crash. has tried to do everything he can to atone for that moment. including fulfilling the dying request of the boy’s mother (whom he loved like a sister) aided by his own fear of his surrogate son dying so so young like his father and estranging his son from him. maverick goes on that mission knowing he’ll die saving his son as his final act of atonement. and he almost gets his wish. until the son he pushed away saves him in return and he realizes. his death is not required for atonement. sacrifice doesn’t have to be the end but can allow him to live. to let the grief and the guilt go. to thank his son for saving his life. because he wants to live. and “it’s what my dad would have done” bradley doesn’t remember much of his father but he knows goose loved him. he knows goose would have done anything for maverick. but goose wasn’t the man who raised rooster. his dad raised him. his dad taught him of the love required to sacrifice yourself for others. his dad taught him to never leave your wingman. his dad taught him to not think, just do. and through all the pain and grief and time lost he finally understands. because dammit he is his fathers’ son.
There's "committing to the bit" and then there's whatever the fuck Shawn Spencer and Burton Guster were doing on television every week from 2006-2014
The FBI: wow, this agent and the anthrolopogist consultant we hired, and her team of weirdos at the Jeffersonian, have a truly insane solve rate for murder. I think we can overlook a few breaches in protocol; their expertise makes it worth it in the eyes of the Bureau. We are going to have to hire a full time psychologist for them tho because jesus fuck

Day 9: 4 Hodgela scenes that made you cry
I think perhaps my favorite thing about this couple is that they were completely unplanned at the start of the series. TJ and Michaela had such chemistry during their scenes together in season 1, that the producers and writers had no choice but to take notice. It wasn’t always smooth sailing for these two. And we even had to endure a broken up Hodgela for a couple years. It could have been painful, but I think they both grew into the people they needed to be in order to finally achieve their happily ever ever. Angela and Hodgins have been a joy to watch evolve and grow more and more in love with each passing season. One of my all-time favorite moments (not pictured) is when Hodgins made it possible for Angela to pursue her dream of living and working in Paris. The plans were set, and they had one foot out the door. But during their last case at the Jeffersonian, Angela witnesses Hodgins’ excitement as he operates a piece of machinery. And he literally tells the machine that he will miss it. The scene cuts to Angela just staring at her husband. And later, she informs him that they have to stay in D.C. Hodgins’ life is at the Jeffersonian. And she cannot take away his dream just to fulfill her own. Even if he would willingly bend the world to make her happy. “And-and I’m okay with it. As long as I’m with you.” Additionally, the paralysis arc was some of TJ and Michaela’s most compelling work to date. Like Booth and Brennan, Hodgins and Angela have proven time and time again that they are solid. Though they nearly crumbled when Hodgins spiraled into a dark and hopeless state after learning that he may never walk again. Angela refused to give up on her husband and the life they share. And she helped him find his way out of the darkness. Now they are thriving once more. And I couldn’t be happier. They deserve the world, and more. Angela is Hodgins’ carburetor for life.
Random things I love about the show Bones:
- all the times they take stuff from the museum to use in the investigation ("I got this from the x exhibit")
- Brennan following some birds, bugs etc and finding a body ("Booth, you might want to see this")
- "Bones, stay behind me!" Brennan immediately wanders off
- the banter between Booth and Caroline Julian
- how well TJ Thyne plays exhausted Hodgins
- how immaculate Cam's outfits are (and how they are ruined by Hodgins and co's experiments)
- the guitar riffs that play every time Angela's dad is on screen
Angela has a crush on Arastoo because he is a poet and Hodgins has a crush on Arastoo because he is a political exile sooo when are they going to fuck
Guys, the annual recap is finally here!!
my absolute favourite genre of Hangster fic might be "are they really enemies with benefits or is Bradley just stupid"
my personal take on the Hangster Mess in that (iconic) first scene is that Jake knows he's into Bradley and is handling it badly, while Bradley has no idea he's into Jake but is somehow handling it worse
You know what would be funny? Whether or not in this scenario Bradley and Mav would still be talking or not - imagine that Bradley still talks about his family, and that includes his dad, so Jake catches things about him from time to time and makes mental notes in case he ever meets him.
The problem is, he is not aware Bradley is talking about 3 different people. And Bradley talks about Mav using 'dad', and about Goose using 'dad/father' and about Ice using 'pops'. Sometimes he just uses 'my old man' for any of them and only he knows it.
So Jake is under the impression that dad, father, pops and his old man are one and the same person, which in turn makes Bradley's 'dad' into some kind of mythical being.
Because he's a naval aviator, but he was also a RIO?? He's an admiral, but he's a test pilot as well?? Or he was from Tenesssee but he was also from New York and from DC??? He had a father (Bradley's grandfather) who died in a car crush and who died in Vietnam, and who died of cancer? Also he has tons of medals but he's also a person non grata in the Navy? He drives motorcycles but hates motorcycles? He taught Bradley how to drive but also had his driving licence confiscated twice for bad driving?? He met Bradley's mom in a group home but he also met her through his best friend? He's gay but he's bi but also he's a straight ally who Bradley is pretty sure dated guys at some point (can that even be classified as a straight ally, Jake doubts it)?
Jake doesn't want to call out Bradley on the inconsistencies out of fear he'd stop talking about his family or feel pressured to tell him more than he's ready for, but Jake is also dying to meet that man just to confirm what is true
The way I love the 'Hangman thinks the Rooster-Maverick animosity/familiarity during mission training is there because Rooster and Maverick are exes/partners and Rooster is horrified when he finds out because excuse me that's my dad' trope
Bonus points if Hangman (Rooster's actual ex) is green with jealousy and fucking panicking because he can't compete with that silver fox and he's got no chances to get back with Rooster if Maverick is nearby
Please give me more fics with this, I can't be the only one writing them like that
(I'm begging you people for fic recs 🙏🏻)
