I need you all to know that Bones is my mother's comfort show. Whenever she's having a bad day my dad will put on a random episode of Bones for her. She doesn't even pay attention to the Murder of the Week she's just here for the characters. She's 60 years old.
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
bones is such a good tv show i love bones i would like to kiss dr sweets on the mouth
"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 💔🙏
Observing child of abuse behaviors in Seeley Booth is equivalent to smashing your own hands with a hammer
Angela Montenegro would thrive on tumblr.com
Something about two nickels
He's a martini girl 🍸
i was tired of never seeing any bones memes so i just made a few :)
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
Mfw I spent like 35 mins writing and researching a post abt what perfumes the bones ladies would wear and it didn’t save to my drafts. Ok
(regarding Brennan considering running for US president)
Brennan: Are you saying I would be a bad candidate? Because *insert look of disgust* Donald Trump was thinking of running.
Just... Just... Just ..
Remember when the thought of Trump running was just a punching because it was too ridiculous to think he'd ever do it??? Can we go back to that please
I STARTED WORKING ON IT A LITTLE TODAY BETWEEN CLASSES 🙏🙏🙏🥳 by god and sheer will this fic will get done I SWEAR IT

@hunny-mustard104 Elle idk if you’ve seen this post yet but you need to lol
Okay, here me out! Imagine an episode with a bones and supernatural crossover. Like could you imagine Bones and Booth rocking up to a crime scene only to have Dean and Sam there as their fake FBI personas cause it's actually a Hunter case and the idea of Sweets trying to shrink Cas cause he doesn't believe this guy actually thinks he's an Angel.
I'd just die happy if this was a fucking episode. Either as a camo on Bones or Supernatural. It would be so fucking funny.
so why didn't you stop me? why didn't you stop me
Lance and Angela would have loved Chappell roan
on every rewatch of bones i get SO irrationally angry whenever b&b are in the car because booth does not look at the goddamn road what are you doing man
You can't convince me otherwise that Bones and Booth didn't see Sweets as their adopted child
Bones (2005)
I bet on losing dogs
I know they're losing and I pay for my place
When my boyfriend watches Bones with me and lets me yap about the lore and my opinions >>>
Knitting with a cup of coffee in my Jeffersonian mug <3 and bones playing on the TV (duh) it’s a good night!!!
I just think Seeley Booth would do literally anything to get Temperance Brennan to call him a good boy
