thinking about how people only call temperance brennan “temperance” or “tempie” when they’re trying to manipulate her.
like angela, her best friend and emotional confidant never calls her temperance, no matter how personal things get. and she’s always “bones” to booth, even when he’s terrified for her safety. and when hodgins, one of her oldest friends, is desperate for empathy and appealing to her humanity during the grave digger arc, he never stops calling her “brennan”.
and it’s only ever the men who try to manipulate her—her father, jared booth, or dr. stires, the old professor who tried to publicly humiliate her—that try to appeal to the an intimacy that her given name doesn’t hold

Being a Bones Tv fan and a Dropouttv fan has me doing a double take at every Tumblr post that says Brennan in it
In the Bones universe can you imagine Brennens Wikipedia page? Her dad was on trial for murder, who mother was murdered, she’s a bestselling author who was buried alive, she works with and now has a relationship with a FBI agent who inspires her bestselling novels plural that got turned into a movie where there was a real dead body on the set when she just so happened to be there right before she was framed for murder and went on the run.
The first sentence of her Wikipedia page during this time must’ve been wild:
“Temperance Brennen is a best selling novelist, forensic anthropologist, person of interest in a criminal investigation, and current fugitive”
Watching Pelant episodes for the character plots while rolling my eyes and not paying attention during the actual case
You can't convince me otherwise that Bones and Booth didn't see Sweets as their adopted child
