T3mperanc3 - Dancing Phalanges :D

some crazy good fanfic in my google docs. whatever guy started writing it i hope he finishes it

i was tired of never seeing any bones memes so i just made a few :)

Thanks for coming to my bones talk

i love zack addy so much. he's oblivious, he's loveable, he's dorky, he's pathetic, he's the youngest of EIGHT, he asked his friends what "take a hint" means, he wears stupid flannel shirts to work with dead bodies, he's secretly an amazing singer, his boss/mentor is practically his mom, he's only ever punched someone once and it was his best friend, he lives above his best friend's garage, he corrected the dissertation committee while he was defending his dissertation, he's a rational empiricist but his mother still thinks he's lutheran, he and his bestie put a frozen pig through a woodchipper, he broke out a psychiatric facility using a library card, he can do complex math problems in his head, he's a nerd but comic books and the likes and foreign to him, he often thinks about building robots to take over the world, he confessed to killing a man he didnt actually ever lay a hand on, and he does it all with a slightly disgruntled look on his face.

feeling depressed? rewatch that show from the 2000s that you know and love that has several seasons and sooo many episodes.

I haven’t been on tumblr much bc I’m back to college and my classes are kicking my ass rn 😞 wishing hodgins could help me with mineralogy and zach could help me with chemistry

I am enamored with the way that the writers of the brain tumor arc in Bones managed to have it be a twist while giving you multiple very strong signs that something was wrong by taking advantage of the fact that as the viewer you know you're watching a TV show. The first two times Booth hallucinates Bones points out that these are moments of unreality but the show couches them in the context of the episodes in which they occur so that the audience can easily and unconsciously dismiss them with their preexisting knowledge of tropes.

"Oh, well Booth was briefly unconscious in the process of getting a concussion. In television, situations like this are rife with characters experiencing dreams where their subconscious solves the case for them. Plus it's a clever way to include their cameo from Luc Robitaille."

"The show really wants me to believe that that really was a ghost that helped Booth and this is another instance of Booth being right about magic in the world while Bones is wrong, but even if I prefer that small space they leave for a little ambiguity, characters in life or death emergency survival situations on TV see visions of a person who's death they blame themselves for as a way to explore a characters relationship with guilt all the time."

And it's not really until both Bones and the show essentially say "screw the case of the week, something is Wrong" that you're, rather abruptly and forcefully, prompted to consider what these incidences might mean when put together, and it's not a very happy list of possibilities.

And while this post is about how well I think they preserve the twist by meeting people's expectations when they added the foreshadowing to avoid suspicion, it should be noted that I also think this is a great example of my belief that a good plot twist is telegraphed loudly beforehand, just in a code most people won't easily decipher.

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
