idk if this is a young fan thing or new fandom culture but some of yall think fics are abandoned way too quickly. a few months or a year or two is not unusual to go without a fic update. sometimes fics take longer to write, other times writers have rl events, or maybe there’s multiple fics and one gets more priority. there are tons of reasons for fics not to be updated every week or every month. it also isn’t uncommon for people to come back and update fics after a number of years—ive read updates that took five, or ten years. people’s lives change, but they still want to tell their stories. personally, i never consider a fic abandoned unless the author has said so; though if it’s been a few years i manage my expectations. but a last update being a year ago is… generally not a sign that a writer has abandoned their fic
I love love love the idea that bones actually has a really good bedside manner except with Jim because they’re friends and “I had to haul his ass from bar after bar and I got covered in his puke more times than I can count. we got drunk together and I woke up with his elbow on my stomach even more times than that. he’s my friend goddammit, and an idiot. he doesn’t need bedside manners, he needs a goddamn hypo. or, a nanny, but I’m not gonna do that” (and he then proceeds to be his best friend/nanny for the rest of their lives), but he is a bit grumpy and Christine gave him this reputation of the intimidating doctor and well, it is true that he’s haunted the captain down countless times, we’ve all seen them running around the ship yelling at eachother, he does seem like the type, and now the whole crew is scared of him
Meanwhile, in other business: She’s on her authentic Real Nurse Shit here… and is to be commended. (Disclosure: back in the day, I did Real Nurse Shit like this too. Without the slightest breath of regret afterwards. You get your patients/clients to do what they damn well need to do to get better. …And doctors? Doctors are what you use to make sure this happens. If they’re good doctors, you may even tell them about it some time.) :)
If I had a nickle for every time Will Ferrell had played a President Business who had power over an imaginary toy world, I’d have two nickles. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.
