Bones 2005 - Blog Posts

my opinion has changed. Brennan is pretty chill SOMETIMES (when she isn't being written to go on some odd political tangent thats a product of its time). Booth still annoyes the FUCK outa me but theres times where I can see why their dynamic could work. They really do act as a divorce couple who still kinda wanna shag at times but know they REALLLY shouldn't open that can of worms again (only without the shagging in the show. pushing the asexual headcannon onto all of these damn characters)

Also I know it makes sense cuss of where they work, but theres something so charming about ALL the characters being writen as smart. Sure they have their own sprouts of knowedlge and random facts they know cuss of a hyperfixation from when they were 11, but no one is just dumb or stupid. Sometimes in crime shows you have the 'good at their job, still kinda fucking stupid' where its like....in a room full of normal people their the smartest, but in a room full of their colleges they are clearly the dumbest by a SHOCKING mile. That doesnt exist within the main team (beyond Booth). Their hirearchy of knowedlge comes from their years of working BUT MAINLY their ability to socilise and I find that very funny because it leads to obvious and understandable hirearchy shifts depending on the situation. It's super cute.

Zack is still my fav character <3 he's so nerdy and stupid and hissy and he reminds me of a wet dog. His dress sense is unfortunatly very relatable.

Okay so im finally watching bones, which is honestly tragic since I love me a crime show.

how did they manage to make sooooo many unlikeable characters???? Like don't get me wrong I'm used to an unlikeable character in my crime show, it happens, characters arn't meant to be liked by everyone. But jesus TWO main characters that just....suck. As people, as characters, as everything. Booth and Brennan seem to be the emotional core of the show but genuinely everyone else is just more intresting to me.

I will say the christmas episode where they all got locked in? Best thing they've done with their characters so far (I'm only just watching season 1. who knows maybe they get better). The deeper dive into her family problems, having it revolve arround christmas so that her life acts as a foil to both the murder AND his own family problems was cute. PLUS introducing his kid??? I didn't realise they could make me feel sympathy for this man. It was also realllly sweet how everyone sorta adjusted their outlooks on each other/ found ways to help each other out when they were maybe dying. It was just a really good episode honestly I wish more were written like it.

Zack my love, your nerdy autism makes me go brrr<333

....was this to hate ridden? its honestly not a bad show, the actual sets are cool and the skeleton props FEEL spooky idk if they're realistic but they are spooky. Plus the murder writing is intresting and you can defo see how other shows were inspired by this show in A LOT of ways.

Do you ever think about how Temperance Brennan grew up being called the r-slur by adult in her life? Mean kids are one thing, but adults she clearly looked up to, desperate to find someone to show her love?

No wonder she was practically non-verbal

ah fellow bones lover hi!!!!! im so obsessed w this show ive been watching it for a couple weeks now and i just finished season four :3

BONES - 6.09 ,"The Doctor in the Photo"

Notice how Brennan is saying something personal and Sweets is offering a generalised observation that is logically derived from Brennan's example. Just like emotion and logic fail us when they are exclusively used as defences meant to protect us from the world, they are also equally effective and vivid in the consequences they bring once they are applied to everyday situations and we use them to help someone else. :") You might even end up helping yourself in the process. <3

Episode of all time.

"In a festive non-lesbian manner"

I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ANGELA MONTENEGRO

Dr. Temperance Brennan

recently started actually sitting down and watching Bones and ofc I love it as much as I thought so here's a drawing of the autistic queen herself

Not to Bones post on my non Bones account

BUT

The racism in bones is completely insane???? Like who approved the Arastoo plot lines of always assuming he's a terrorist?

the whole accent plot?

I just--i cant even fathom this even for 2009 that feels wild

RIP Vincent Nigel Murray and Lance Sweets, you both wouldve loved Chappell Roan

reverse gatekeeping. I am on my knees begging people to engage with the source material

Drawing of Hodgins based on a post by @like-the-verb !!! Anddd this is the first time I’ve posted my art on this blog \(^o^)/ so yay!!

he's so hard to draw I wanna cry

I keep thinking abt tipsy Angela in 1x09 saying she might kiss Brennan at the Christmas party and then immediately bi-panicking and covering it up saying “in a festive non-lesbian manner” girl could you be any more obvious…..

Hodgins: Safety First! *intentionally inhales a bunch of unknown fumes and immediately faints*

I bet on losing dogs

I know they're losing and I pay for my place

sometimes being in the Bones fandom is strange cause youll go online with a 40 yr old centrist who ai generates images of Brennan meeting Sheldon Cooper and a 17 yr old transfemasc whos on their 18th rewatch just so they could get the tempcamgela vibes this time around and all 3 of you will agree that Wells was the worst squintern in the show and that Vincent deserved better

just heard about communion!! "bred"????? "whine"?????? now thats something i can get behind!!!

"His weirdness- whatever you wanna call it"

"I'd call it genius"

Well I would call it autism, actually

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.

I really love how Brennan absolutely does NOT fuck around, even from the very beginning. Like they seriously had her beat the shit out of a homeland security agent in the first five minutes of the pilot and shoot a man by the end of the episode… wow 😵‍💫

People who make screen caps/edits of bones how do you get high quality clips plssss let me know 💔🙏

He's a martini girl 🍸

Thanks for coming to my bones talk

bones is my emotional support copaganda show because never before has a straight couple exhibited such homosexual levels of yearning
