Day 9: 4 Hodgela scenes that made you cry
I think perhaps my favorite thing about this couple is that they were completely unplanned at the start of the series. TJ and Michaela had such chemistry during their scenes together in season 1, that the producers and writers had no choice but to take notice. It wasn’t always smooth sailing for these two. And we even had to endure a broken up Hodgela for a couple years. It could have been painful, but I think they both grew into the people they needed to be in order to finally achieve their happily ever ever. Angela and Hodgins have been a joy to watch evolve and grow more and more in love with each passing season. One of my all-time favorite moments (not pictured) is when Hodgins made it possible for Angela to pursue her dream of living and working in Paris. The plans were set, and they had one foot out the door. But during their last case at the Jeffersonian, Angela witnesses Hodgins’ excitement as he operates a piece of machinery. And he literally tells the machine that he will miss it. The scene cuts to Angela just staring at her husband. And later, she informs him that they have to stay in D.C. Hodgins’ life is at the Jeffersonian. And she cannot take away his dream just to fulfill her own. Even if he would willingly bend the world to make her happy. “And-and I’m okay with it. As long as I’m with you.” Additionally, the paralysis arc was some of TJ and Michaela’s most compelling work to date. Like Booth and Brennan, Hodgins and Angela have proven time and time again that they are solid. Though they nearly crumbled when Hodgins spiraled into a dark and hopeless state after learning that he may never walk again. Angela refused to give up on her husband and the life they share. And she helped him find his way out of the darkness. Now they are thriving once more. And I couldn’t be happier. They deserve the world, and more. Angela is Hodgins’ carburetor for life.
So excited for finals to be over so I finally have time to catch up on Boneheads ;-;
Zack avoids eye contact at all cost and will never look anyone in the eye if he can avoid it. It makes him nervous and overstimulated.
Brennan doesn’t know what the correct amount of eye contact is and overcompensates by staring directly into peoples eyes at all times. Except for Zack.
Maybe this is a weird opinion, but I get genuinely uncomfortable when fans call Brennan “Bones”…. To me, that is a nickname that ONLY Booth is allowed to call her, and it’s cute, but I feel that even fans don’t have the right to call her that. Maybe that’s just me being silly though
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”
I survived… barely…
Born to be comfy in bed, forced to go to 8AM classes
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
Just realized I haven’t worked on my SweetsFisher fic in like six months I’m gonna be sick… someone beat me in the head with a hammer until I finish it
