2.12 You’ve Got Male

[unstatedmartini]

How come I only now realize, after watching the 2x12 streamy scene 5 billion times, that Carlos was laying between TK's spread legs in the final shot...? When the camera pans out back to the bed, it shows TK's leg on the right, bent and spread to make space for Carlos. We can also see it after Carlos gets up. Between that and Ronen's blooper video showing more kisses and Carlos shoving him onto the bed, I think I just combusted.

adlkjfa;ljfd thank you for this, i welcome every update from the elite investigators at csi: poundtown

Tagged by @poppypickle! Not tagging anyone, but this was super fun.

How many works do you have on AO3?

35. It would be more if I moved fic over from ff.net from prior fandoms.

What’s your total AO3 word count?

299679 - it makes me anxious that this is so close to 300K. And all but 31K of that is from 2020 on, even though I've been posting fic on ao3 since 2016.

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

your heartbeat on the high line (once in twenty lifetimes)

in a straight line down

a great honor to hold you up

something new to fall into

i’ll find it at my own pace

Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Sometimes, but not always. And I do feel guilty about that. I get easily overwhelmed and then feel bad if I miss one and don't want to just repeat the same “thanks!” for every comment.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

I’m not one for angsty endings in my own fic, honestly. I don't think any of them would be called angsty, unless you mean one of the WIPs I haven't yet finished 😂

Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the strangest one you’ve written?

I never have, but I absolutely would write a Chicago PD/The Rookie crossover, because I need Tim and Jay to meet and to get to imagine Tim and Hailey smiling at each other.

It occurs to me now that YHBOTHL had characters from two different shows and I did cross-post for FBI, but I don't know that it really counts.

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Not really. Someone commented on an Upstead fic saying I “over describe” everything and make it hard to follow. 🤷‍♀️ Definitely don't think I'm the writer for them, then.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I absolutely write smut. I like fun, feelingsy smut, I typically have a “two for her, one for him” rule, and there will absolutely be smirking and eye rolling and hands in hair.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of, but I hope someone would reach out if they ever came across this!

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I have! It’s fun when you're good friends with the person and love their writing style and have similar character headcanons etc.

What’s your all-time favorite ship?

All-time is tough. Maybe Pacey/Joey? They just had it ALL. ALL the tropes - enemies to friends to lovers, sharing a bed, trapped together, secret dating, spontaneous argument kiss, second chance romance, pining, forced to be dance partners, fake dating (kind of) - and there was angst and genuine romance and flirting.

What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

I sadly have too many WIPs currently. I'm pretty sure I’ll eventually finish them all, but honestly, the guilt is eating me alive 😂 There is a Chenford WIP post-2x12 that'll probably never be finished and shouldn't have been posted as a multi-chapter (I am not talking about the coffeeshop AU, don't come at me.)

What are your writing strengths?

Hmm. I think I write dialogue well, so that it's in character and believable (in that way that fictional men in fic can be even more open and adoring than they appear onscreen) and I hope the flirting and the smut reads as fun and sexy and believable.

What are your writing weaknesses?

I am a slow writer and I’m not very well disciplined. I don't stick to schedules and I know that probably annoys people to no end. I admire those who can. When writer's block gets me, it really gets me. And I don't think I describe locations all that well.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I think it needs to be believable for the character? If it's not happened on screen, I don't really need it to be a thing in fic. And I personally wouldn't do it, just because I only speak English (and Latin - to the extent anyone “speaks” it) and wouldn't trust a translation to be accurate in most cases.

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Honestly, I don’t remember? It was either ER (Carby) or Gilmore Girls (Literati). Those two and CSI were my earliest fandoms (not ships - I shipped Pacey/Joey and a million others before I really knew fandom) and their timing really overlaps.

What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

I’m really not sure. Different ones for different reasons -- a great honor to hold you up because it made me get back into writing after many years. Maybe your heartbeat on the high line because it showed me I could devote time and energy to something long-term and be proud of the outcome.

[wellntruly]

Have now lazily scooted through CSI Season 2, where there was not one single episode I had no memory of (the dog was named Maverick!)

Anyway here is some data:

- They got some more Vegas establishing shots between seasons, I see you new B-roll! They also zhuzhed up the title sequence with some new character shots at 2x13

- The biggest crime of this season was in the first episode, and it was putting George Eads in Transitions lenses

- Archie Kao was hired to play campus security guard “M. Blaze” (according to the name stitched on his uniform) for 2x02, and apparently they liked him so much that six episodes later they brought him on in the recurring role of Archie Johnson the AV tech

- However, and all the love to Archie, but my new favorite recurring character this time around is the delightfully shady local funeral home director. I don’t know his name. He’s introduced in season 1 doing something overtly illegal, and then continues to show up a couple times a season always in ways that still *feel* criminal but you can’t actually charge him for it. Like knowing exactly how much each organ goes for on the black market, or chaotically jamming out to Vivaldi as he embalms someone.

Nickname Tally • Brass: calls the crime unit collectively “the Nerd Squad,” also is the only one to use Rick for Warrick • Catherine, Gil, and Jim: all call each other by their first names • Greg: after Nick first dubs him Greggo in 2x05 (“Hey, leggo my Greggo!”), Warrick readily picks that up and uses it twice in the remainder of the season, and Sara once. Nick actually doesn’t use it again, but once near the end of the season he calls him “G”, which no one else has used so far. • Gris: this one seems to be just a Nick and Warrick thing • “my dear”: what Grissom calls Catherine over the phone when she’s in Miami, with the most comfortable married energy you can imagine. I love Mom and Dad.

- There is NOTABLY more dynamic blocking/cam work this season, a real increase in depth of field particularly in the crime lab. Either they’re giving the cinematographer more time, or someone’s getting more ambitious, or they hired up.

- After only getting paired on one case last season, the powers that be (Grissom or execs, whether you want to think of it Watsonian or Doyleist) are letting Catherine and Sara work together more, and it’s great, they’re great together and a great team. I like when they’re stuck out with a body at remote convenience store waiting for the coroner and Sara gets bored and starts using all the fluorescent print powders in the kit and lifts like 800 neon fingerprints while Catherine just paces around steamed and gnawing on the candy bar Sara handed her from one of the shelves.

- Maybe one third of the actors who play dead bodies breathe in their shots, and I wish I hadn’t learned to notice that

- In episode 9, CSI is suddenly allowed: butts, nipples, and SIGUR ROS. All before we even get to Lady Heather’s place! Truly she brings us so much.

Speaking of Lady Heather—guest stars, get yer guest stars: • Julie Cooper from The OC as the professional, warm dominatrix who has a WONDERFUL dynamic with both Grissom and Catherine and I like her so much • Jeremy Renner, as The Worst • most of the cast of Desperate Housewives—and they are always the murderers • Daniel Dae Kim! as a hot (given) federal treasury guy • the Janitor from Scrubs, whom I recognized from the back of his head…[shaking my own] • tiny Aaron Paul as Son Of Redneck, who has secretly fallen for the Buddhist monks down the street and sneaks off to pray with them without his father knowing • unsavory chop shop mechanic Zachary Quinto, in what is hopefully a wig and an equally greasy jumpsuit

In 2x10, ‘Warrick Brown and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day’ (not the real title), something happens to cause Gary Dourdan to make this face 8 separate times

In this scene in 2x12, Marg Helgenberger and George Eads look like they’re auditioning for CSI: Marseille

- I don’t know if we’ve ever gone to Bar 911, but it’s been name dropped several times. It does not seem to be a reputable establishment, or at the very least is the initiating grounds for all sorts of malfeasances.

The two times Nick Stokes and I had the exact same heart attack: 1. When I’d had most of a St. Germaine gin & tonic and was drifting into a CSI-related daydream during a meditative scene of Nick just quietly examining a car, and then Greg Sanders popped his head in the passenger door like HI. (Incidentally, we then learn that Greg is constantly snuck up on in the glass box he calls a lab, which actually feels like it explains a Lot) 2. On the next day and in the next episode, when I was eating grapes as Nick went through a house, and nearly bit my finger when a pet parrot suddenly squawked

- In episode 16 we learn that Warrick plays original jazz piano compositions, as if he wasn’t already hot enough. (Then at the end of the episode when he’s feeling low and vulnerable he sits down at a gambling table in a casino and we’re like nooo, but then Nick just quietly appears and takes the seat next to him and Warrick’s like what are you doing man and Nick says he’s just here to play some cards with his friend, and I had a Whole Human Emotion)

- Finally, the Greg Sanders Arc Watch continues apace, but I’m withholding any commentary on how that seems to be working until I get at least another season in, because I wanna confirm a hunch. And in S2 the main point of Greg is still these 30 second cutscenes where someone tries to get DNA results from him before he says something so embarrassing that their soul liquifies out of their body. But they’ve sent Nick in so many times that this season—definitely against Nick’s better judgement—the two of them began to develop a game, where Greg speedily starts drawing chemical compounds related to the case on his clear dry-erase board and Nick tries to guess what they are before he’s done. “What did I win?” Nick asks on the second occasion of this, and we do not get an answer to that.

Anyway, to carry us out— Grissom: “Say goodbye to Greg.” Sara: “Bye Greg.”

“Shades of Justice,” a CSI: Miami Rewatch: Episode 36

2x12- “Witness to Murder”

CASE: A diamond broker is shot in a parking garage. The only witness to the crime is a mentally disabled man who is determined to be helpful. Meanwhile, Eric and Tim’s investigation into the death of a teenage girl hits a road block when the body is stolen. I can’t decide how I feel about this episode’s portrayal of disability. On one hand, there are things about the depiction of Eugene and the way people respond to him that can feel problematic at times. On the other hand, I love Eugene’s determination and the way the episode shows his unique capabilities. He picks up on details like the contents of Doug’s car and the brand of sneakers the shooter was wearing. That’s really cool! Horatio saying a private goodbye to Eugene was a sweet note to end the episode on. It’s interesting, actually. While the garage shooting started off somewhat poorly and got better as it went, I think the opposite can be said for the Kincaid family’s story. It starts off in a really unique way, with Jenny’s body going missing. By the end, it becomes something much more generic and uninteresting. 

CHARACTER: I must say, I do like the admiration Horatio has for Eugene. He more or less treats Eugene as an equal, or at the very least as someone worthy of respect. There’s not much else to discuss regarding the characters. Although, I did like the moment where Alexx, Eric, and Tim are talking through what happened with Jenny Kincaid’s body. That was some pretty good comedy. Have I mentioned that I love that Alexx refers to Speedle as Timmy?! It’s so sweet. Speaking of Alexx, I have a really hard time believing she’s every given someone the middle finger.

CRAFT: This episode was written by Ildy Modrovich and Laurence Walsh, with the story credited to Michael Ostrowski. It was directed by Duane Clark. The dialogue is kind of uneven, with some really good lines and some really bad ones. Other than that, there’s not much to say. It’s another one of those episodes that exemplifies the CSI: Miami mold, with no one aspect standing out as exceptionally good or bad. I know I’ve said that about many episodes so far, but I didn’t want to just make something up when there’s really nothing to say.

Grade: B

A pretty decent episode, for sure. It’s just not one of my favorites. Next up is “Blood Moon.”
