Okay, maybe this is just me, but the fucking whiplash from the way Sandra Lynn and Jawbone are with Adaine over Fig or Kristen is so crazy to me. It's gotten to such a point that Emily called it out in this last episode. Like, you're telling me that Sandra Lynn can acknowledge that the bad kids have helped raise each other and fulfill emotional needs their parents haven't, but can't put together that there might be a fucking reason Fig is protecting Kristen and Adaine created a simulacrum? Jawbone, as both a guardian and counselor, just let it go that a highly competent rouge capable of finding the rouge teacher straight up admitted (1) she wanted to murder Kristen and (2) she is upset at Fig for keeping her from getting close? All this after years of being obsessed with the bad kids?
Meanwhile, they see Adaine as this competent, low-maintenance, emotionally mature adult instead of recognizing that she was taught from an early age that adults would not meet her emotional needs?
Rewatching sweets living with booth and Brennan and Christine after watching season 10 is sad because you see booth and Brennan acting like older sibling figures and sweets being the best uncle to Christine but then two seasons later Christine is saying sweets and daisy said they’d all go to the park together. And then bones and booth have to tell her that sweets is gone.
turns out luis carazo on top of his already established critrole repertoire of "grief-stricken estranged father" and "soldier constantly haunted by visions of the people he loves dying" has an extremely heart-wrenching "aforementioned soldier but this time he's eight years old and scared and about to have an exorcism performed on him"
"The ritual of Evandrin, the resurrection, it didn’t work because he wasn’t dead. You’re trying to atone me and I didn’t do anything wrong!! […] You are not our children. You are... a bad first draft. The first plan was to destroy this, to let you all fade into nothingness. That’s not gonna be how we do it this time. You think that you are a man of true belief and it’s all these wizards around you that are humble. Who is the most proud man here? These ones who thought they would fly a city, or the man who thought he would teach me a lesson? The only difference between you and the Dawnfather is that the Dawnfather is a little more humble. Now, I'll tell you why I spit on your forgiveness. I'll tell you why I loathe your redemption. To reach a hand down to somebody, they need to be beneath you! And I am beneath nobody. You wanted to understand me? Then you should have accepted that I WAS RIGHT!!!"
