I am extremely online but in like the Loser Way. if you try to make me use instagram or tiktok I fumble around with it like a grandma who has never seen a phone before. if you send me a tumblr screenshot however, I will tell you that not only have I already seen the original post but that I’m mutuals with OP
or that the person in the screenshot is actually me.
I love love love the idea that bones actually has a really good bedside manner except with Jim because they’re friends and “I had to haul his ass from bar after bar and I got covered in his puke more times than I can count. we got drunk together and I woke up with his elbow on my stomach even more times than that. he’s my friend goddammit, and an idiot. he doesn’t need bedside manners, he needs a goddamn hypo. or, a nanny, but I’m not gonna do that” (and he then proceeds to be his best friend/nanny for the rest of their lives), but he is a bit grumpy and Christine gave him this reputation of the intimidating doctor and well, it is true that he’s haunted the captain down countless times, we’ve all seen them running around the ship yelling at eachother, he does seem like the type, and now the whole crew is scared of him
Meanwhile, in other business: She’s on her authentic Real Nurse Shit here… and is to be commended. (Disclosure: back in the day, I did Real Nurse Shit like this too. Without the slightest breath of regret afterwards. You get your patients/clients to do what they damn well need to do to get better. …And doctors? Doctors are what you use to make sure this happens. If they’re good doctors, you may even tell them about it some time.) 🙂
@redmyeyes i just got the EXTREME sweats trying to answer this but it’s okay i can be cool.
imagine a drama about a really lonely decent strange Helper who takes his deaf half-wolf from the far north of canadia to chicago and makes friends with a jaded but decent cop who wears amazing outfits and they solve crimes and help street urchins and whatnot. then after two seasons the cop has to go undercover so a new guy comes in to pretend to be the old guy and the new guy is also very lonely and has a very weird energy and experimental hair and gets codependent fast. their two-season arc starts with one asking if the other finds him attractive (‘very much so yes’) and ends with [redacted marriage scenario].
now imagine that the drama you are imagining is actually a screwball pun-laden farce where in the third episode leslie nielson gets out his fart machine. now imagine that that screwball farce is also a magical realism show with ghosts and such who give bad advice. now imagine that all of that is actually a very gorgeously-filmed buddy cop show with lost loves and major character deaths. now imagine it scored by sarah machlachlan and/or the headstones. you are now in the ballpark.
