Hi! Hi! I haven't updated this blog in almost two years and I haven't rewatched Bones in even longer but I just listened to the Boneheads trailer and almost cried hearing Emily and Carla's voices so yeah I'll absolutely be doing a rewatch along with them and giving this blog some love again! How do I still have over 800 followers, why did you all not abandon me when I went inactive, why am I questioning this? Hi! I'm so glad to see you all again!
So some updates, I'm a gamer now, I'm obsessed with video games. I even started a Let's Play YouTube channel a few months ago (shameless plug shameless plug). I dabble in many different genres, but relevant here, did you know there's this thing called detective games? Where you play a detective and can solve murder mysteries like Booth and Brennan do, but yourself? I freakin love 'em. The Zero Escape visual novel series is one of my favorites, and @lightphieric is my dedicated sideblog to those games.
Fair warning that I feel I am a bit more... socially conscious, I guess you could say, than I was when I was last active. I'm still very willing to revisit Bones from an uncomplicated place of love and chalk a lot of things up to being a product of their time, but at the same time I find myself with a lot less patience for glorified depictions of law enforcement (to the point where I might have to change this blog's avatar, sorry Bobblehead Bobby!).
I'm also a lot more educated when it comes to issues of neurodivergence and mental illness, when it comes to both recognizing and understanding my own neurodivergence (I have autism, avoidant personality disorder, depression and anxiety) and learning about conditions that I don't have but which fall under the same brain-weird umbrella. I am so so SO excited to come back to the absolutely impeccable neurodivergent energy of the main cast of Bones, but I am also bracing myself to see and call out a lot of the demonization of people with mental illnesses that is typical of the crime genre. I have come to realize that the field of criminal profiling is, as a whole, utter ableist bullshit, and while I still love Sweets as, like, a character and a guy, I hate his job and can imagine myself getting mad at him a lot.
All that aside, I am so excited for this podcast and this rewatch and can only imagine it being a primarily positive experience. Welcome back to the blog! (And feel free to reach out if you wanna talk or anything, I was pretty resistant to making fandom friends before but my time in the Zero Escape fandom has loosened me up in that regard.)
