OMG this is SUCH a beautiful write-up on Brennan! Just amazingly written! 😍

She has Booth as a partner.

We love Booth, we really do. Sure we love him because he's God's perfectly-packaged gift to women, he goes to Mass like a good boy, he's a great father, and he has amazing chesticles, but I cannot deny that one of the reasons I love Booth is because he loves Brennan. Brennan is not an easy person to love, let's face it. But Booth sees beyond this, he looks at Temperance, not the doctor. The effect that this has had on Brennan is undeniable. She's a fabulous human being, but Booth is the one who makes her a whole person. He's gentle and patient, suffering in his own love for her while he allows her to have the time she needs to come around. He brings out the best in her, like in helping her to use her brain and her heart in The Verdict in the Story. And we love Brennan because she allows herself to change for the better through Booth. She resists, but deep down, we all know she will relinquish to him eventually. We love her because she loves him, because she has found someone in her life who is good and loyal. Then, because he has softened the anthropologist, shown her the compassion she deserves, we come to love her even more as new sides of her become apparent. We owe it all to Booth, the one who loves her more than we do.

2. She's a flawed creature.

For me, it's really hard to love a Mary Sue. The most lovable characters are the ones who struggle against an inside force that inhibits them. When you learn to love the struggle, you learn to love that character and the journey they take. You want to follow them wherever they go, cry with them, laugh with them. It is the suffering in all of us that connects humanity in the need for truth. The same is no different when it comes to our love for fictional characters. When that deep love resonates in all of us, fictional people with inner conflict become the ones we identify the most with.

Brennan is brilliant and completely awesome in every way, but her shortcomings and failures give her a humanity that is utterly lovable. When I think of Brennan, I think of someone who struggles with love, a woman who has had to deal with the debiltating pain of a past that has shaped her in unique ways. These unique ways, while necessary to her work, have created her as a person that is hard to deal with and difficult to be close to. We see her strengths and her heroism in how she conducts herself through her work. She has such an affection for lost souls. As a lost soul herself, she adopts the selfless duty of giving names to unidentifiable faces, giving meaning to the personal story of the skeleton on her lab table. Her search for the truth and personal quest for justice forms her as an empathetic woman who truly loves people, but doesn't know how to express it. This is her central struggle: how to express affection. She's lonely, often blunt, ignorant of standard cultural formalities, not easily communicable. There is a distance between what she feels and how she thinks. She acts upon her intellectuality, and while her intellectuality is her strength, it also becomes her weakness when it traps her in solitude. For years, she has relied on her intellectuality to explain humans. Perhaps it was her way of explaining her own pain, explaining the pain she felt for others. But the sad aspect of this solitude is that Brennan has learned to live with it. Someone who has learned to be lonely is almost more saddening than someone who struggles with loneliness. Nobody should ever have to adopt solitude as a way of life because we all deserve so much more than that. When we comprehend Brennan, her innate goodness, her devotion to a career that promotes goodness and respect for human nature, you learn to love her. And when she breaks down in tears at the remembrance of being locked in a trunk as a teenager, you just want to heal her wounds and tell her that love is real, and that she deserves it. Which leads to our last reason...

1. You just want her to be happy.

I don't know if I can speak for anyone else, but Brennan is a character that I just root for. When you comprehend her life, her utter awesomeness, her selflessness, and the progression she's undergoing, you discover that she is a character who deserves what she desires deep down. I think Brennan's main struggle is find a piece of her own happiness in this world, wherever that may come from. And I want that for her. It's refreshing to feel nothing but pure love for a fictional character, to want them to reach their own happy ending. This fact alone, the fact that a character can inspire such feelings of warmth and optimism in a person, that alone is a reason to adore the wonderful character that is Temperance Brennan. [/quote]

Brilliant write-up Anuji! So eloquent ... especially the paragraph above hits so close to home. I mean, isn't that almost always true? We fall for the characters who deal with an internal struggle of sorts. And we want them to sort out their life in the most humane way possible.

Shreyaaaaaaaaa🤗🤗🤗 Do you bring Munni squared news again today?😉😆😆


@LadyM: Yep, it's an AWESOME write-up....I literally love each and ever word of it...kudos to the person who wrote it....that paragraph really touched me too....it really is so true.
