Our unintelligent squint (e1 part 2/?)
Tumblr media
Summary: It's y/n's first day at the Jeffersonian. You are being swiftly introduced to everyone!
Character pairings: Zack Addy x reader, Angela x Hodgins, Booth x Brennan
Word Count: 10.8k
Warnings: none
A/n: Hey... Finally got to p2... I hope you can tell me what you think!!!! Again, non of the words belonging to the case, or anything having nothing to do with y/n belongs to me! Enjoy! (If you haven't read the whole story click here. For my masterlist!)
(Y/n's pov)
I woke up a half hour before my alarm rang againā€¦ This is going to be a long day. Ick! I know it's not healthy for me to be so anxious. But what reputation will I have if I lose this job? I certainly don't want to wind up serving French fries and mini burgers again. Not if I can help it. Plus, what would my father think? No, I'll have to try my hardest to stick to this job.
I did my hair up with my two front pieces of hair, and pulled the back with a polka dot tie. I decided I'd wear a modest skirt and shirt. I at least thought I looked lovely and sophisticated. I didn't bother to eat breakfast at home. I could easily go to the cafeteria, and besides, it was only 5:30. My breakfast isn't until an hour later.
I took the bus because I didn't want to bother or wake up anyone this early in the morning. After all I'm still working on my driver's license. The ride was bumpy, but I was ok once I put in my musicā€¦ The byrds, Celine Dion, green day, lynyrd skynyrd, def leopardā€¦ (I like everything ok!)
And finallyā€¦ After me lip syncing the duet of phantom of the opera, I was at the Jeffersonian. I seriously wanted to cry. There's no way I'm ready! I thought as I jumped out of the bus. I started turning around to try to jump back into the bus, but I noticed it was already half way down the road. No, the only option was to go in. So I did!
I walked in with the self consciousness of my shoes squeaking. Everyone smiled at me. Most likely because they have seen me once or twice before with my dad. So I took it as no sign of approval. I walk into a beautiful woman with what I would imagine to be the warmest face I have seen in forever. And since I had no idea where to go, I thought it right that I should talk to her.
"Hello," I started awkwardly, sounding like I originated from Germany, "I'm new here. And I was wondering if you could give me directions. Like how to get a name tag, like the ones I see you and- well, everyone wearing.. And a tour of how the work, y'know, worksā€¦" I smile.
"Oh, hi!!! Quick question first. Are you a-," she reads from a card she took from her jacket, "Ms. Y/n y/l/n?" She smiles back.
"yesā€¦ Yeah, I was the one hiredā€¦ Yesterday, actually."
"Well, Dr. Brennan asked me to give this to you if I ran into you, " she handed me my ID card, I took it and she nodded, "I'm Angela, Montenegroā€¦ Angela Montenegro."
"It's very nice to meet you!" I perked up.
"And yes, I can give you a quick look at the work place," she gestured with her hands for me to follow her.
She showed me my main working space first. A platform where the remains or artifacts are originally delivered. A room Angela says she mostly works in, where she designs holograms for the Jeffersonian. She showed me a room where all the skeletons are kept. She kept mentioning the numbers of the rooms, but I remembered none of them. "Now, you can call this one Hodgins sanctuary," She showed me a room full of a variety of insects and chemicals. "
"I swear I've seen this exact setting on Harry Potter," I teased.
"yeah, well, we have to be careful when this wizard waves his wand," she jokingly warned.
This guy with bright curly hair and a tolerable, well maintained beard emerges from the room of doom. "Hey Angie, check out what I discov-" he noticed me standing next to her, "you're newā€¦ And fresh out of diapers. Ange, we've got to by her some formula!"
I got defensive "I'm fifteen!" I say.
"It's alright, sweetie. He's just like that," Hodgins raises his eyebrows, approving what she said, "you said you discovered something?"
"I- it can wait!" He said , "you should show the kiddo more thingsā€¦ Or something," he turns and goes back into his "lair".
I turn to her in curiosity, " is this hairstyle fine to wear here?"
"Yes. So long as it's up, and won't get mixed into any of the particulates, or remains we find."
"Uhuh, gotcha. And my clothes?" I bit my lip anxiously.
"you can wear most things; jeans, top, skirt, blouseā€¦ For you to get approval, you should wear something modest."
"Good," I say, "because that's all I have."
We walk near the bones room where I see the one face I recognized when i first wanted to work here a year ago. The one who initiated the interview with me. Now he was walking fast over to us. And given how tall he was, he could walk faster than most people I've known.
"Ms. y/l/n. I was wondering if I could speak to you right now?" He said when he reached us.
"Uhrm, yes, Mr. Addy? Um, yeahā€¦ I seriously have nothing going on right now soā€¦" I look around awkwardly.
He takes me by the arm, and drags me to the other side of the lab. Angela was so curious as to why he was being so secretive, based on her staring in our direction. I think I was more so curious than she was.
"Look. You have got to follow my lead, words and every move," He definitely could tell that my eyes were screaming the word "what", at him. He tried to elaborate.
" You know nothing about the names of bones, " he said.
"Yes that's true. But I know what they are and where they go when I look at-" I started.
"But the names are important to know in this line of work," Mr. Addy interrupted, "What's going to happen when Dr. Brennan asks you to hand her a tray with a femur on it?"
"A whater?" I raised an eyebrow.
He sighs, "This is going to be a long day," He looks me in the eyes in silence, I just twittle my thumbs as he does so, "Just do what I tell you to. Because if you get fired, I will most likely lose certain privileges, and eventually get fired. So, won't you, since you're already working just under me, do all I ask of youā€¦ Pay attention!" I just nod. Not really knowing how else to respond.
Dr. Brennan walks through the door. I recognized her because she always works with my father, occasionally visiting my house. Me and Zack's conversation ends. He hands me a dark blue lab coat with a rough texture, and smoothly gestures with his hands for me to attach my ID to it. We join Dr. Brennan along with everyone else. She always appeared so grumpy to me, like, to the point where she says jump and I ask how high. So, I assumed it was best l should follow with them.
We all walk in a group. While I was still pinning my ID to my coat while simultaneously walking up the stairs, I hear Hodgins saying, "The pond is not only warm and teeming with microbes, which accelerated decomposition, but it houses black carp and coy which fed on the body." We all walk up to this grossly muddied skeleton. It was interesting to me, because I had never, in person , seen a skeleton like this before. Thank goodness I'm only assisting for now!
"Can I, as the only normal person in the room," Angela said, "Say EW?" I looked to her wondering why she didn't see me as normal. I thought I was normal.
"I got three larval stages," Hodgins continued, "Of trichoptera, chironimidaeā€¦" I've heard of these flying insects before, I thought, I must've read them in a book.
"As we cut to the chase," She clearly didn't want to be explained anything today.
"The body was in the pond one winter and two summers," he said quickly.
"Spring before last," Dr. Brennan said.
Hodgins smirked, quickly changing topic, "You really think I'm Lesty?"
Temperance looked to Angela with furrowed brows and gaping mouth, in confusion of his sentence.
"The book," Angela explained.
"No, no, no," Dr. Brennan says shaking her head, "you're not in the book."
"Sure he is! we all are," Zack said, amused.
"No none of you are in the book. Those are fictitious characters based onā€¦" As she tries to defend herself Hodgins almost rudely interrupts her to show her bone scans on a computer. I believe it to be the ribcage, maybe.
"I found some small bone fragments in the silt," He said.
"We're out of the book now, we're back in real life," Angela said to Dr. Brennan.
"I guess rana temporaria," Hodgins said.
"frog bonesā€¦" How does this woman get frog bones from what he just said? I wondered.
"Also some tiny gold links," Hodgins monitor points where, "Those from a fine chain."
"Point of clarification," began Zack, talking about the book again, "I'm not a virgin. Nowhere near in fact," I looked beside me at his smirking face in awe. How could you be so confident in that? Again, I'm wondering too much.
"Who you captured perfectly was booth," Angela started, touching Dr. Brennan's hand slightly in excitement, "Buttoned down but buckets of sexual confidence which, uahh, I for one would love to tap," She says with a slightly mischievous smile.
"It's not right to discuss tapping asses in front of a soaker," Zack said, looked toward the body.
"You could also say it's not right to discuss your virginity level here as well," I smiled at him, "It also might make those who have never ā€¦ Oh, what's the term, "" done it"" feel a little bit pressured. "
"You mean- you're saying you've never?" He looks me straight into my eyes. I simply look everywhere but his eyes, "I seem to be forgetting that, some girls at 15 prefer not to."
"Or," I continued , "Some girls, regardless of age, have a few morals." I was low-key angry now.
"Ms. y/l/n," Hearing Dr. Brennan mentioning my name made me turn my head quickly to her, "I am very glad you were available to work with us, but arguing in such a manner should be permitted while you are working," I quickly shut my mouth and meekly nodded, "Anyways, I can't bounce back and forth between my book and real life. Since we're stuck in real life, let's just forget the book." She directed.
"I haven't analyzed whatever it was the victim was holding in her hand," Hodgins looks to the bone scans on the computer, "But it looks like cellulose."
"Paper?" Angela inquired.
"mm, possibly," said Hodgins.
"I found microscopic grit embedded in the skull fragments. I need you to identify those too," Dr. Brennan says to Hodgins, To Zack, She orders, "Remove the remaining tissue, I'll debreed the skull fragments myself, reassemble it so Angela can put a face on our victim."
"Good," Angela is relieved, "I prefer holograms, they don't stink."
Hodgins and Angela begin to walk away. All that's left is me. Yay. "And you, Ms. y/l/n. I will have you thoroughly look around the dirt before it gets removed. Most importantly , I would prefer you to specifically focus on the areas surrounding the phalanges, to see if anything is missed. But be careful of whatever it is the victim is holding in her hands. Understood?"
She looks at me with eyebrows raised. I just smile like an idiot and look to Zack, who is just as freaked out as I am. It takes him a second to contemplate, but he then lifts his hand and wriggle all his fingers. Ahh, now I understand, I thought, I got this!
"Of course, Dr. Brennan, I will get right on that." In a hurry I run to the bodies side, trying my hardest to examine the fi- phalanges! Barely hearing what is being said behind meā€¦

Smile Time (Sesame Street meets modern horror)
[All images are owned by 20th Century Fox Disney and Mutant Enemy Productions. Please don't sue, bite, or stake me]
(This episode was written and directed by Ben Edlund, the mind behind The Tick)
You wouldnā€™t think a show with horror (and adult) themes would get a toy line, but this show managed not one, but THREE dolls based on the secondary plot complication of the episode (and a fourth, just because). What complication is that? Letā€™s dive into the episode and find out! If you would like to watch the episode, itā€™s available on Hulu or behind your favorite paywall.
PREVIOUSLY ONā€¦
Wolfram & Hart (a multinational law office run by demons) has given Angel Investigations control over their Los Angeles branch (in hopes of corrupting the team) and Angel accepts (in hopes of destroying the organization from within). Neither side is doing well at it.
Two refugees from Sunnydale have joined the cast: Harmony, Cordeliaā€™s old Mean Girls BBF (who is now a vampire), is Angelā€™s personal assistant, while Spike is back from his death scene in the series finale of Buffy as pissed off at the world (but trying to save it) as ever.
One of the people Angel has managed to help is Nina, who has contracted lycanthropy and seeks refuge from Angel (in the form of a cage so she doesnā€™t hurt anyone) every full moon.
One of Fredā€™s lab-mates, Knox, has been making romantic advances despite Fred having feelings for Wesley (who is clueless about the latter fact).
Gunn had a legal library implanted into his brain by the Senior Partners of Wolfram & Hart.
Lorne is in his element as Head of Entertainment Legal
I believe that catches us up, so on with the show!
The cold open has a mom taking care of her sick kidā€¦
youtube
(Thanks to kanemichaelg)
Cue the opening credits!
Tumblr media
We come back to Knox and Fred discussing an epidemic of children being found like Tommy (7 reported cases thus far)
Then Fred finds a Valentineā€™s Day card from Knox in the files and gently shuts him down.
Tumblr media
Then Nina shows up for her monthly appointment in Chez Cage. She awkwardly tries flirting with Angel before being escorted to her accommodations.
Then Gunn checks in with Harmony about a case he was working on.
Tumblr media
This confuses and upsets Gunn, since his encyclopedic knowledge of law shouldnā€™t have failed him like that.
Angel discusses this Nina-shaped wrinkle with Wesley (since his curse would be lifted if he achieves True Happiness, as sleeping with Buffy proved (as well as being dosed with a euphoria-inducing drug earlier in his own series. Fortunately, he was back to his old soul-filled self once the drug wore off))
Wesley points out that not all relationships achieve ā€œtrue happinessā€.
Tumblr media
Leave it to an ex-Watcher to put things into perspective. (Wesley may have been a twit and an asshat in Buffy, but he certainly came into his own after coming to LA)
Then Fred comes in with the results of her research on the kids. Angel reads the reports, and notes that all of the kids collapsed in the same half-hour time period in front of their TVs. He immediately takes the files and retreats to his office, leaving Wesley and Fred to awkwardly make small talk.
Tumblr media
Wesley completely misses the cue and calls for a driver to take Fred home.
In Angelā€™s office, Angel has to get Lorne to stop talking about Nina long enough to get back to the case. Finally, Lorne has an epiphany about why that particular time periodā€¦
Tumblr media
The next evening, Angel skulks around the studio where Smile Time is produced. He sees a custodian approach, but he doesnā€™t acknowledge Angelā€¦
Tumblr media
ā€¦at all. Angel then sneaks into an office/storeroom used to house props and sets for Smile Time, then pokes around until he seesā€¦
Tumblr media
OK, thatā€™s weird. Angel approaches the man when the egg above him starts toā€¦
Tumblr media
ā€¦smile? Then Angel is hit with a blast of energy that throws him into a pile of boxes. Fortunately it takes more than that to keep aā€¦
Tumblr media
ā€¦puppet???? down? Cue commercial!
(As a side note, I love that puppet-Angel is as pouty-faced as the regular type)
As we return to the show, Angel has somehow makes it back to Wolfram & Hart undetected and calls for Fred, Wesley, and Gunn.
Tumblr media
Then Angel realized Smile Time is on and rushes to watch. Fred has the lab boys record and completely scan the show, while Angel wants to mobilize the Black Ops teams (because of course Wolfram & Hart have Black Ops teams) Angel may have some anger-control issues in his Muppetized state.
After talking Angel down, Lorne reveals that the showrunner for Smile Time is a man named Gregor Framkin, so Angel sics Lorne and Gunn on him (wait, why Lorne? He canā€™t exactly be seen in Human Company!) while putting Fred and Wesley on figuring out how Framkin affected the kidsā€¦and him. And as for whatā€™s happened to himā€¦
Tumblr media
Yeah, in an office run by the enemy? Thatā€™s definitely gonna stay under wraps.
Then Nina comes in unannounced, so Angel dives behind his desk and pretty much throws her out from there.
But the intrusions donā€™t stop there.
youtube
(Thanks to TheLocalPlayer)
(Yes, even in puppet form, Angel can kick Spikeā€™s ass)
Meanwhile, Gunn and Lorne have gone to Framkinā€™s office to attempt to shut whatever heā€™s up to down.
Tumblr media
ā€¦but Gunn has forgotten the legalese version of ā€œshut this shit down before we do it for you!ā€ and leaves in embarrassment, but not before letting slip about Angelā€™s current state (did you forget what ā€œclassifiedā€ means too?)
No sooner do Gunn and Lorne leave does the camera do a slow pan around Framkin to revealā€¦
Tumblr media
ā€¦Framkinā€™s the puppet and the on-screen cast of Smile Time is pulling the strings! The lead puppet (Polo) gets on the phone and calls the rest of the cast in for a meeting.
Once assembles, Polo announces it's time step up their plan to steal the kidsā€™ life force, so instead on one at a timeā€¦
Tumblr media
The cast intends to sell the kidsā€™ life force (ā€œ100% pure innocenceā€ Obviously they havenā€™t met the kids I went to school with) to the denizens in Hell and retire in style.
That night in Ninaā€™s iron-clad luxury suite, Angel comes down to talk and smooth things over with her.
Tumblr media
ā€¦sort of.
Nina starts feeling sorry for herself, so Angel steps in and comes clean. He then says he might be willing to let his guard down for her.
Tumblr media
Maybe he shouldā€™ve let it down in the morning!
Fortunately, Angelā€™s made of felt, soā€¦
Tumblr media
ā€¦nothing a needle and thread canā€™t fix.
Meanwhile, Gunn has gone to the Mad Scientist who gave him his Instant Law Degree. The (for lack of a better term) doctor says itā€™s degrading, but he canā€™t do anything about it because itā€™s likely the Senior Partners decided it would amuse them. Gunn is desperate and pretty much begs.
The Doctor mentions he has a certain artifact tied up in customs. In exchange for rebooting Gunnā€™s knowledgeā€¦
Tumblr media
[SPOILER ALERT: The artifact is the one that contains Illyria, so Gunnā€™s about to doom Fred!
ā€¦not that he would know that, and the Doc ainā€™t telling!]
Meanwhile, the research into the show goes on. Then Knox comes in and awkwardly tries making small talk (and insulting Wesley) before Fred sends him home. The pair talk a bit about Fredā€™s love life and Fredā€™s just about to confess her love for Wesley when he seesā€¦
Tumblr media
Polo pressing against the screen when the volume is muted.
Fred and Wesley go to Angel with their findings, and after analyzing the signal strengthā€¦
Tumblr media
Wesley proposes that the egg is holding the kidsā€™ life force, so destroying it should wake them (and restore Angel to his normal mopey self)
Then the new-and-improved Gunn comes in to drop some legalese.
Tumblr media
Gunn tells them that the puppets are the key to everything.
Tumblr media
The next morning, Polo puts his plan into action.
Tumblr media
Polo gets the kids to touch their TV and begins draining them untilā€¦
Tumblr media
Gunn manages to decapitate one of the puppets as Polo sends another to guard the egg.
Speaking of the egg, Wesley and Fred have found it and begin the ritual to destroy it. However, a puppet tackles him. Wes tells Fred to continue the spell while he deals with his dance partner.
Meanwhile, Gunn is having his own issues with another puppet.
And as for Angelā€¦
(Thanks to John Thunder)
Wes and Gunn take care of their puppets as Fred finishes the incantation, destroying the egg.
The next morning, Nina wakes upā€¦
Tumblr media
ā€¦covered in puppet guts. Sheā€™s horrified as to what she thinks happened when Angel comes in, much to Ninaā€™s relief!
Angel reports that heā€™ll be back to himself in a few days as he lets her out.
Tumblr media
ā€¦and is ready to give a relationship a shot.
Well, thatā€™s one awkward relationship down, letā€™s check in with the other!
Tumblr media
Fred finally corners Wesley and bares herself (so to speak) to him. When Wesley gets a gobsmacked look on his faceā€¦
Tumblr media
ā€¦she throws caution to the wind!
Fortunately, Wesley can take a hint when it smacks him in the face (so to speak) and reciprocates as the show ends.
Now, I mentioned a toy line. Iā€™m pretty sure you can guess that the toys are (HINT: Itā€™s not Polo and the Smile Time cast) Unfortunately, the only way to find them these days is on e-bay.
Tumblr media
(Thanks to WorthPoint)
Hell, they even made one for Spike! (and he didnā€™t even need to be zapped by a demonic egg!)

My Buffyverse takes:
1. Buffy had one true love: Angel
2. Spike tried to rape Buffy
3. Angel/us is a much better character than Spike
4. There is a reason Angel got his own show and not Spike
5. Angel is much hotter than Spike
6. Granted, James Masters is a better actor than David Boreanaz
7. Life isnt fair
8. Angel is better than Spike and DB had a much more successful career than JM
9. Even SMG says that Angel and Buffy are, were and will always be endgame, soulmates, meant to be. They will be in love until the end of time.
10. Season 7 of BtVS was bad. Spike only survived because of fan service and massive plot armour. If Joss had any balls, Spike would have died around "Sleeper".
More hot takes to come .........

Me and the Bloke discussing one of my Buffy Fan Pet Peeves, which is that Angel/Angelus got his name from having "the face of an angel" and that as handsome and broody as David Boreanaz is, he does not resemble any historical ideal of an angel.
The Bloke: "Yeah, but how many people actually do have the face of an angel?"
Me: *opens mouth*
The Bloke: "That AREN'T SWEDISH?"

Truly Like Lightning? I don't know what kind of writing exercise they'd do to make a main character who has sex with his 17-year-old stepdaughter palatable in the age of MeTooā€¦ but even if Showtime does go ahead with the series, Duchovny has already realized that he's too old to play the stud who sleeps with all the women, especially the youngest. Physically, it would be repulsive and, combined with Duchovny's personal life, it would never get past the network executives. The only David who would fit into this story, for a few years yet, would be David Boreanaz - who wouldn't want to do a pornographic piece of crap at this point in his career. With Duchovny's looks today - normal for his age - he wouldn't be able to pull off a convincing Hank Moody either - sexy then, pathetic and disgusting now. But there is one character he will always be able to play convincingly, no matter how old he is: Fox Mulder.
I think that now the role of Mulder will no longer take David to the top of success, as in the 90s. You remember the ratings of the last season. The low ratings are Chris Carter's "merit", but David had something to do with it, too. Some of my friends stopped watching the last season when they found out who David was really dating and what a hypocrite he had become. Since then, there have been even more fans who abandoned David. I personally don't want to continue the X-Files. I don't need a Mulder who shoots and then asks questions, who kills everyone and who pretends to be a macho tough guy. And I don't need Scully, who, according to Chris Carter's script, doesn't know what to do or how to behave. And the main thing. This is my personal opinion, but I didn't see the chemistry between Mulder and Scully in the last season. I've only seen glimpses of the chemistry that made this couple legendary. And I think that in the current circumstances it is impossible to revive this chemistry.

For the character ask thing you have pinned, Leon from Kingdom Hearts, if you feel up to it perhaps? I love your writing, I spent the other day scrolling through your KH tag in light of taking turns playing through the first game with my partner and accidentally reviving the interest in it.
Donā€™t mind me just getting emotional over here! Iā€™m really glad you enjoyed my writing, it means so much to me when you guys interact! ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
YES! We love and appreciate Squall ā€œLeonā€ leonhart in this house!
Sexuality Headcanon: Demisexual. Squall need a deep connection with someone to be able to see himself being intimate with them or having a future. I think he probably went through a very frustrating period in his teenage years where everyone else was beginning to get obsessed with sex and relationships and he just couldnā€™t get his head around why anyone would want to be touched like that so casually.
Gender Headcanon: cis gendered. Although I donā€™t think heā€™s actually ever thought much about it. What Leon knows is he wouldnā€™t feel comfortable in a skirt, thatā€™s about it. That being said I do vibe with Trans Leon/Squall fics from time to time. Iā€™m not adverse to Trans male Leon at all.
A ship I have with said character: STRIFEHART!!!! Ahem. Sorry. Iā€™m a strifehart lover and I blame @liverpepper and @letoasai for that completely. But also Iā€™ve liked the idea of them for a long time.
A BROTP I have with said character: bit of an odd one but probably Leon and Riku. I feel like Riku could get a lot from a friendship with Squall, if only because Leon understands guilt and destiny.
A NOTP I have with said character: squall/Leon X Seifer. Donā€™t vibe with it in ffviii and I certainly donā€™t vibe with it in KH. Also not a big fan of Leon and Aerith, nor am I paticularly big on Leon and Tron. I tend to find Squall is not all that easy to ship with just anyone. Heā€™s like a skittish colt, youā€™ve got to approach him slowly with a big net
A random headcanon: oh, errrrā€¦ Leon pulls at his hair when heā€™s stressed and concentrating. This leads to tension headaches and migraines and it can often incapacitate him for a while cause he doesnā€™t know when enough is enough.
General Opinion over said character: Leon was my first love. The first proper video game I ever watched my brother play, and then played myself was Kingdom Hearts. Maybe it was the fact that he was voiced by David Boreanaz (angel from buffy) in the original, and that is a voice Iā€™d grown up hearing, but there was always something about Squall that Fascinated me. Maybe itā€™s the cool guy effect I dunno man but I OBSESSED over him from like the age of 7 onwards. Took me a long time to stop calling him Leon, which used to irritate my brother. But I liked that he looked after Sora even though he was grumpy, and that he was grieving grate loss but helping people around traverse town.

Our unintelligent squint (Ep 1, part 1/?)
Tumblr media
Summary: the beginning of the pilot case, Zack chickens out speaking about the new intern.
Character pairings: Zack x reader, Booth x Brennan, Angela x Hodgins
Word count: 4.6k
Warnings: none
A/N: yay!! I told you I'd get to it! Btw, none of the sayings that don't have anything to do with y/n, or anything that goes to the case obviously don't belong to me.... I just find them necessary for my fic! If you haven't read my prologue, there is going to be a link at the bottom of the chapter. Enjoy!
[No one's pov]
It was late in the night. Zack and Dr. Brennan were still outside at the crime scene, Brennan looking over the remains, and Zack was shooting pictures. They felt in their hair a warm moist breeze blowing from the pond.
Dr. Brennan started speaking in her usual direct tone, "Remains are wrapped in four milled, flat poly-construction sheeting."
"PVC coated chicken wire," Zack added.
Brennan lifts the tarp, "weighted," She looks over the muddy remains, "That's why the body didn't surface during decomposition. The skeleton is complete but the skull is in fragments."
Booth rushes in to ask, "what can you tell me?"
"Not much," Brennan says, a little disappointed, "She was a young woman, probably between-," she takes a small breath, thinking over her best factual guess,"18 and 22, approximately 5'3, race unknown, delicate features."
"That's all?" Booth said, being sarcastic.
Brennan did a shrugging gesture with her hand. "Tennis player," she said.
"How do you get a pretty tennis player out of that yuck?" Booth sounded a little irritated.
"Epiphyses fusion gives age, pelvic bone shape gives sexā€¦" Zack stated factually.
Brennan took over and said, looking over the spot on the body's shoulder, "Bursitis in the shoulderā€¦ Somebody this young, must be an athletic injury."
"when did she die?" Booth said wanting more facts. Also wanting to skip past her reasoning.
"Eeehhh," was the quick response.
"Eeehhh," was the even quicker, mocking response, "what does that even mean," he says in a frustrated manner.
Zack responds defensively toward Booth while simultaneously snapping another photo, "it means wait until our bug and slime guy takes a look," the light shines everywhere for a brief second, secretly flashing Booth in the eye.
"No clothing." Dr. Brennan notices.
"well you know, in my line of work, No clothes usually means a sex crime." Says Booth, acting like he knows the situation
And Dr. Brennan gives more insight, "In my line of work, it could also mean the victim favored natural fibers."
Zack speaks to Booth to demonstrate, making it an unknowing comeback, and walking around trying to get more angles, "your suit, for example, will outlast your bones by decades." Booth clearly couldn't tell, because he doesn't know this "squint," that Zack secretly had something on his mind. Brennan noticed, she's noticed it all that dayā€¦ She just didn't know how to respond to it, so she focused on her work more intently, pretending not to notice.
"collect silt," Brennan orders to Zack, pushing herself up to her feet, "Three meters radius, to a depth of ten cm."
This time, right after taking another shot of the body, he looks at her anxiously and quickly. Before she gives Booth permission for the forensics team, she has to pause herself mid way, as he approaches closely to her.
"Mr. Addy, is there something that you need to say, because there's work to be done?" Brennan was startlingly frustrated, she clearly wanted things done quick and a hurry.
Zack gets in a whispering position, "you know about the new intern you wanted working beside me?"
"Yes, and I hired one. Miss y/n y/l/n. She starts tomorrow morning. I only did it because she was the only one you full heartedly recommended last year."
"Mm." Zack tried to hold in being squeamish, "I did. But are you completely sure of her qualifications for thi-"
"Are you saying you made a mistake in saying that she was the best interview you had? Because I gave you the assignment of hiring another intern with hopes that you would be the one to find one that matches all the qualifications yourself, it was also to test your true reasoning, and good decision making, for those are the type of people fit to work at the Jeffersonian. If you were being lazy, or unsure, means I was wrong, and you weren't really ready. Is this what you're trying to tell me?" Well, she's not one to beat around the bush.
Zack thought, swallowed the lump in his throat, and replied rather standoffishly, "No, Dr. Brennan. I have no doubt in Ms. y/l/n's intelligence, expertise, capabilities and ambitions. I just hope I was right , and didn't look over her resume or personal background too soon."
"Well, that's rather unlike you Mr. Addy. You need to adjust your self confidence to match your work." She turns and informs Booth that the forensic team can take the Plastic and chicken wire.
"Yes Dr. Brennan." Zack sighs, mainly to himself. Now that he pushed himself into it. He had to fix this. This means he must do his best to see y/n first thing , before anyone else gets the chance to. He has to, before it is made known what he hired into the Jeffersonianā€¦

The Buffyverse (An awesome pair of shows based on a dumb premise)
[All images are owned by 20th Century Fox Disney and Mutant Enemy Productions. Please don't sue, bite, or stake me]
I know these days Joss Whedon is known more for his toxicity than his works, but in the 90s and early 2K he had two (it should've been three) of the hottest series on television.
youtube
(Thanks to Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
The premise is simple enough...
Tumblr media
a cheerleader named Buffy Summers (played by Sarah Michelle Geller) finds out she's the latest "Chosen One" known as the Slayer, who is born to kill vampires (hey, if the 16th President of the United States can do it, why not a high school student?). A Slayer's power is awakened when the previous one dies (quick note: Buffy died, but was revived, at the end of Season 1. This caused a second Slayer to be awakened!)
This was actually the premise of a film (produced by Whedon and starring Kristy Swanson as Buffy, though it was much more comedic than he intended) and the series picks up where the movie left off (with Buffy being forced to move to Sunnydale California after the events of the movie)
youtube
(Thanks to Buffy and Angel Clips)
(A quick note on how vampires work in the Buffyverse (yes, it's important): When a vampire drains a human of their blood, a demon inhabits their body, replacing their soul. Said demon gains the human's memory and personality, but has no conscience or morals and exists to spread evil and chaos)
Whether Buffy wants to be or not, she is still The Slayer and has a job to do while keeping her grades up and trying not to be kicked out of another school.
This may be harder than she thinks, as Sunnydale was built on top of a demonic beacon known as the Hellmouth, and all sorts of demonic entities (what? You thought vampires were the worst thing she'd have to deal with?) are drawn to it on a weekly basis...and guess who has to handle it?
Assisting Buffy in her crusade throughout the series are... (NOTE: Buffy's allies are often referred to by the fandom as "The Scooby Gang", and yes, they have a dog (of sorts))
Tumblr media
Rupert Giles, the school librarian and Buffy's Watcher (Watchers are responsible for training and advising a Slayer, as well as recording their exploits for the next Slayer to learn from)
Tumblr media
Xander Harris, fellow classmate and the "everyman" of the Scooby Gang (everyone else has or gets cool abilities/skills, but Xander remains a plain old vanilla human)
Tumblr media
Willow Rosenberg (played by How I Met Your Mother star and host of Penn and Teller's Fool Us Alyson Hannigan), Buffy's best friend. Willow eventually learns magic (and learns that using it almost NEVER goes well!)
Tumblr media
Cordelia Chase, class Mean Girl who for whatever reason hooks up with Xander and joins the Scooby Gang until they break up.
Tumblr media
Daniel "Oz" Osbourne (played by Seth Green, who played Scott Evil in the Austin Powers movies and would go on to co-create and do various voices for Robot Chicken), Willow's boyfriend (until they break up...did I mention there's a LOT of Teen Drama in the series?), lead singer of the underground band Dingos Ate My Baby, and, oh yeah, a werewolf (told you there was a dog in the Scooby Gang!)
Tumblr media
Tara Maclay, Willow's girlfriend (and their courtship was ADORABLE!)
Tumblr media
Anya Jenkins (AKA Anyanka), former vengeance demon who lost her powers and got into a relationship with with Xander until he left her at the altar (y'know, I think Xander may be afraid of commitment)
Tumblr media
Finally, we have Angel (AKA Angelus, played by David Boreanaz, who would later play Agent Seeley Booth in Bones), a vampire who was cursed with having his soul returned to his body, meaning he has all the powers of a vampire and all the grief from everything he'd done before being cursed. The curse was lifted after sleeping with Buffy in a moment of True Happiness (DUDE! You're over 350 years old and she's 17! Talk about robbing the cradle!), allowing Angelus to resurface (don't worry, the curse was reinstated before he could end the world, and he left the series shortly after)
Actually that's not all of the Scooby Gang, because it's revealed at the end of season 4...
Tumblr media
...she has a younger sister. Meet Dawn. No, she wasn't just "away from the camera". One minute Buffy's an only child and the next she's yelling at Dawn for being in her room!
It turns out that Dawn is a mystical artifact that was sent to Buffy in the form of a family member that was implanted into everyone's memories as Always Being There. And when THIS end-of-the-world crisis is over (there's pretty much one every season), Dawn is allowed to be a normal (bratty) teenager (or at least as normal as things ever are in Sunnydale)
Besides the usual Vampire/Demon-of-the-week and Season-Long Big Bad, there are two recurring antagonists (who were supposed to last one or two episodes before being killed off, but Whedon liked the chemistry between Gellar and them)...
Tumblr media
Spike (AKA "William the Bloody") and his sire/girlfriend Drucilla (who is quite mad). Spike would eventually break from Drucilla and be a thorn in Buffy's side until he gets a chip implanted that forces him to stop killing (long story), after which he falls for Buffy, quests to get his soul back, and joins the Scooby Gang.
The series ran for 7 seasons, ending with a spell that awakened the power in ALL potential slayers!
In the middle of its run (shortly after a certain angst-y vampiric love interest left Sunnydale) there was a spin-off...
youtube
(Thanks to der450)
Angel has moved to Los Angeles (the City of Angels, heh) and opened up a PI business (Angel Investigations) to try to help the downtrodden. Among the members of Angel Investigations are...
Tumblr media
Allen Doyle, a small-time hustler who has visions of people that need Angel's help...
Tumblr media
...and is also half-demon.
Tumblr media
Cordelia makes her return and joins because she needs a job while trying to become an actress. Let's just say her skills she acquired as part of the Scooby Gang better suit her than her acting skills. And she also acquired Doyle's visions after he sacrificed himself.
Tumblr media
Wesley Wyndam-Price, a former Watcher (that lasted at most half a season on Buffy) who lends his knowledge of All Things Demonic to the cause.
Tumblr media
Charles Gunn was a vigilante vampire hunter before joining Team Angel, where he primarily serves as the Mortal Muscle.
Tumblr media
Krevlornswath (Lorne) is a peace-loving member of a war-mongering tribe of demons. He's in exile in LA, where he ran a nightclub for demons before joining the team.
Tumblr media
Winefred (Fred) Burkle was banished to another dimension before being rescued (and later joining) the team. Unfortunately she was killed when her body was inhabited by...
Tumblr media
...the Elder God Illyria. Fortunately for the world, Illyria's power was diminished in her new host. Even more fortunately, she joined Team Angel instead of destroying the world.
Tumblr media
Finally, we have William the Bloody Spike joining the team after he re-corporated following his death in the final episode of Buffy.
Angel's primary antagonist (which they have to deal with throughout the series) is an agency known as Wolfram and Hart, which are run by a mysterious group known as the "Senior Partners", a trio of very powerful demons (The Wolf, The Ram, and The Hart. I have to say, they were rather clever with the name)
The series ran for five seasons. The final episode (which was supposed to be a cliffhanger for a sixth season, which was carried over to comics. I REALLY would've liked to see where it went on-screen, rather than the series implying that everyone died facing a horde of demons)
youtube
(Thanks again to der450)
While the series was as tongue-in-cheek as Buffy, the tone was overall much darker. This series showed more of Boreanaz's range as an actor.
Both series had some rather dark elements (such as the death of beloved characters such as Buffy's mom, Tara, Doyle, and Fred), as well as some episodes that were just bonkers (such as Sunnydale becoming a musical and Angel becoming a Muppet), but even at their silliest the series was still compelling and you wanted to see how they managed to beat the season's Big Bad.
Both series are available on Hulu or behind your favorite paywall. As always, if you would like to see an episode reviewed, let me know!

Five horror movies I've seen lately, hmmm I really loved the Conjuring as I'm into paranormal horror, I watched Valentine (Not sure if you know of it with David Boreanaz) so slasher horror, plus I absolutely love Jeepers Creepers (1&2) plus I do love old school 80s stuff evil dead, entity, things like that.
I did try watching the Terrifier the other day but aside from the over use of gore I found it boring.
Oooh, okay!
So I would recommend X, Pearl and Maxxxine - these are a trilogy and, although theyā€™re recent releases, they have incredible 80s vibes; Pearl, especially - it borrows a lot from The Texas Chainsaw massacre. Pearl was released after X, but serves as its prequel. You can watch Pearl or X first, it doesnā€™t make a difference, but Maxxxine should come last. Mia Goth is amazing in all three.
House of the Devil is another modern horror that emanates the 80s. I had so much fun watching this, and the soundtrack is banging. The perfect blend of occult, paranormal, hammer horror and slasher.
Longlegs is a mixture of occult, paranormal, psychological horror and, again, is reminiscent of 80s horror. I really enjoyed this, the cinematography is really striking.
The Borderlands (also known as Final Prayer). Occult and paranormal. Itā€™s documentary/found footage, which Iā€™m not usually a fan of, but this is really tastefully done and genuinely really frightened me - AND Max! And heā€™s not usually afraid of anything.
Last Night in Soho. Has a strong theme of the paranormal running through. Not hugely scary, but visually stunning and has a great twist. Has Anya Taylor Joy and Matt Smith in it.
Hope you find something you enjoy/havenā€™t seen before in these!
