the elephants will not be purple

Hey, remember when I posted about fandom-y stuff on this journal? (Remember when I posted at all?)

Spoilers for the Bones finale, 6x23, 'The Change in the Game':

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT.

That was some *damned* fine fanbase trolling, HH & Co. And I mean that sincerely. They're all "oh nooooo, you can't put your two leads together," "oh wait here you go, we're going to do it-- WAIT NO IT WAS A DREAM," "oh noooo, we're not going to write ED's pregnancy into the show." AND THEN WE GET THIS.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT.

My brain does this thing, when something happens that I *really* wanted but didn't think would ever actually happen, where I sort of just can't process that it really did happen and my brain just goes *pop* and all I can generate is a squeak. Which is pretty much what happened to me last Thursday.

LOOK AT MY ICON YOU GUYS. I HAVE HAD THIS ICON FOR LIKE EVER. AND NOW WE GET IT FOR REALS. GIVE ME NEXT SEASON. GIVE IT. GIVE IT NOW.

(Many people have said they felt cheated because this came out of nowhere, there was no sex scene, we didn't get a declaration, whatever. Me, I don't need any of that. I thought it was perfect. Let's just jump in with both feet and see what happens.)

I want fic (badly) but none has yet appeared so I have been rereading my absolute favoritest Bones babyfic of all time, which all of you should also read because it is BRILLIANT and PERFECT. And I want next season to happen exactly like it. (It will not. I will probably be okay. As long as it's still adorable and awkward and charming.)

From the Greek Paradeigma, Meaning "Example" by daygloparker
Once upon a time, Agent Booth and Dr. Brennan had a baby.
I mean, of course they did.
Why are you so surprised?

ALSO YOU GUYS. BOOTH'S FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE OMG. (If you thought to yourself, immediately after the finale, "I need an animated gif of his little smile, and I need it now," you may find this tumblr relevant to your interests.)

In conclusion: *pop*

I was THRILLED!!

Fen and I were actually sitting in the ER trying to avoid watching Bones while there. Fen stupidly looked up during the last pronouncement and actually went, "Oh. My. Gawd."

I love it. I think it's a great direction to go with the show. Because trying to watch these two and everyone around them process this is going to be priceless.

And I'm beyond relieved as I'd heard the rumor that someone ELSE was dying. So yay!

It totally reminded me of the XF season 7 finale, when we were all sitting around Dan&Debby's living room absolutely glued to the TV. I have a picture of that somewhere. I should dig it up.

I'm sad about Mr. Nigel-Murray though. :(
