Please ignore if this is stupid, but is "suicidal sara sidle" a real canon thing? Was it intentional?
hi, anon!
not a stupid question at all!
the rhyme definitely was something the writers did intentionally.
according to anthony zuiker, he even got "blowback" from the network about it.
the other story he tells in this interview—about grissom being named after major league baseball player marquis grissom—is a new one to me. it contradicts what he has said elsewhere about grissom being named after nasa astronaut gus grissom. so what's the truth, zuiker? 👀 👀 👀
i can't find a source for it now, but back in the message board days, there was even an excerpt from a showrunner—i don't remember who—talking about how the writers had purposefully given both grissom and sara "rhyme slang" names associated with crime: "kill gruesome" and "suicidal."
that said, while "gruesome grissom" gets dropped in canon, to the best of my recall, "suicidal sara sidle" never does (perhaps due to the aforementioned blowback from the network).
i know i've conjectured in both my fics and metas that sara probably got bullied with that name as a kid, but that's not something canon has corroborated.
thanks for the question! please feel welcome to send another any time.

PROMPTS FROM CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION *  assorted dialogue from season 3 of the show, adjust as necessary
everybody knew it, and nobody came forward.
you were in the car?
why didn't you just tell the police?
so let me get this straight. you decide to become one of them.
revenge is best served cold.
i get one phone call, right?
one must lie in the bed one has made.
you all right? don't let him get to you like that.
i was scared. and i still am. don't tell anyone, okay?
this wasn't just a murder.
don't touch me.
is this some kind of convention?
i guess i realized it's nice to see eye to eye with someone.
i get the impression that's a little tough for you.
i think we look for the differences in each other to prove that we're not alone.
you know, i hate it when he does that.
you know i could do this for you.
that had to be scary, huh?
i didn't have time to be scared.
deep down we're all narcissists.
what attracts us the most is ourselves.
is that who i think it is?
i guess clothes do make the man.
the only thing between me and a wardrobe like this is a few extra zeros on my paycheck.
this... this one just felt different.
it's not fake blood. it's human.
you killed her.
you missed me by a mile.
tell me something i don't know.
in fourth grade, i dropped out of karate class because a kid half my size made me cry.
don't insult me. luck is for those without skill.
we're gonna have to dismantle this piece by piece.
i think i can handle this.
we're up in a tree, and you're quoting poe.
you are what you throw away.
heard you got to be a superhero today.
you're my hero, [name].
i like those odds.
that's for you to find out.
if you handle them correctly, snakes are harmless.
have you ever seen anything like this before?
you don't just spontaneously develop a fatal head wound.
can you prove that?
i'm so tired of hearing that. i've heard it a million times.
you gotta get a girlfriend.
i thought we had a relationship!
i have no idea what you're talking about.
the best intentions are fraught with disappointment.
i can take care of this myself.
i'm just repeating what i've heard.
you're a good listener.
you already seem to know the answers to your questions.
i'm losing my balance.
there's a sucker born every minute.
you know, guys don't like that.
what happened to your enthusiasm?
what do you think caused these marks?
i wasn't being rude. i was being curt.
i like silent movies.
you sure you don't want me to do this?
it's physically impossible to absorb a fatal dose of cocaine through the penis.
we have a bigger problem than we thought we did.
i'm not looking at you.
the schedule says you're off tonight.
would you like to have dinner with me?
let's have dinner. let's see what happens.
by the time you figure it out, it really could be too late.
i wish you had come to me sooner.
i'm not going with you.

OMG the CSI buried alive episode though was SUCH a trip because up until then there hadn't been anything that extreme on television. Quentin Tarantino basically is the reason for the formula for all those buried alive tropes on television now and it only happened because he ran into a producer of CSI at some award show and gushed about how much of a fan he was. They jokingly were like 'Well you'll have to come do an episode for us' and Tarantino straight face went 'Ok'. AND THEN as he was doing it he went to CBS and basically said hey I'm going to need two episodes to do this and CBS went.... Sure Tarantino and gave him a two parter that aired back to back. It was a HUGE event when they first aired.
There's really cool BTS about how he did it too because he basically had them build this clear plexiglass box and buried it except for one side that he could take off to film.
It's such a good episode!
Oh wow! I didn't know any of that!! Fascinating! Thanks for the information nonny!

Jason realizing first that Jon and Damian are absolutely crazy for each other is amazing like that man reads Jane Austen he knows his stuff
and that's literally his answer when Tim's like "Even /I/ didn't know for a while. How'd you figure it out?"
And Jason just pulls a romance novel out of his jacket pocket (it has its own little sewn in holster) and is like "I'm professionally trained."

One of my fave fanfics of all time is a YGO + CSI crossover called "Evidence of Shadows" and like I normally do not fucking care for crossover fic whatsoever, but I just love this one? If only because the CSI crew get to treat Duel Monsters like it's one of their "quirky subculture of the week" episodes. I know we've never spoken or anything but I get the impression from this blog that you might enjoy this fic, have a good afternoon.

Just checking in to see if things are alright on your end? You haven’t posted in quite some time which isn’t like you. If you’re not wanting to make stuff anymore, totally cool and understandable. But just wanted to make sure you’re okay? 💕
Dear anon,
thank you for your kind message. The situation is stable: my physique is fine and my mind is kind of…mh…confused. lol I'm sorry I haven't posted anything lately but life (and my mind) are playing against me.
My husband is recovering good from the heart attack he had 4 months ago: blood pressure is fine even without 2 of the pills he was priscribed when he left hospital, but we're still taking care to his kidneys. I'm still over-protective of him and this take great part of my mental energies. Also, I have the bad habit to try to keep everything under control, and this takes the other great part of mental energies.
In addition to that, I'm still technologically handicapped: my pc broke, also my pc keyboard broke as well as my smartphone (I swear I didn't thow them against a wall), so I using old stuff in place of that I used before. Also, internet connection is not exactly the fastest on earth where I live. As you can imagine, in this situation making gifs and loading them on Tumblr (or even load Tumblr itself for reblogging) are not the most relaxing things to do. I tried to do it for some time, but the whole process is really too draining, really exasperating. With all that happened I don't even have enough mental order to focus on writing. Nient, my mind is in "safe mode", can handle only survival stuff: eat, health, work. (I mean, it took me a week to reply to your message!)
The little spare time I have, though, I try to use it in the most relaxing way possibile: I read, I do meditation, and I even started doing yoga with my husband (just yesterday we had our first lesson!). And I accompany my husband in his daily walks.
I hope I'll be back posting here soon. I haven't forgotten the requests I received and the subcollection I have to complete, I'm just waiting better times. Many thanks to all the people who still share and like my old posts, the support is really appreciated!
Hope you, instead, are doing great? :) Take care and be safe. Best, L

Hi aj! I’m the rewatch anon and I just got started on the miniature case (my first time actually rewatching those as I only rewatched dead/living doll) and I just love how both Grissom and Sara are the leads on the first case, def foreshadowing. ANYWAY despite the angst that I know it’s coming with the sabbatical, I just love how lovey dovey and cute they are with each other for the first few eps. Do you suppose at this point they’re more sure of what their relationship is? I mean S6 felt slightly off balance for them at times but S7 just gives us a sense that they’re very happy together and sure of their relationship. What do you think?
hi, rewatch anon!
good to hear from you again!
so my answer to your question is kind of a roundabout one.
i'll start by saying: mine is an unpopular opinion, but i don't actually think s6 is as volatile a period in grissom and sara's relationship as many other fans do.
while a lot of folks suppose grissom and sara spend much of s6 fighting, only to get their shit figured out come s7, i'm not convinced that there is any legitimate/protracted conflict happening between them early on.
i have a couple of longer posts explaining my stance—and specifically my takes on the two episodes most fans would point to as being potential evidence that all is not right in gsrland during that time (i.e., episodes 06x03 "bite me" and 06x12 "daddy's little girl")—here and here, if you're interested.
but the tl;dr version is that i think that from the moment grissom and sara first get together in late s5 or early s6, they both realize the significance of what they're doing for themselves.
the risk that becoming a couple poses—not just to their careers but to their very hearts—is high enough that neither one of them undertakes the decision at all lightly; both of them know, from the get-go, that they are making a life-changing move and, moreover, consider their romance to be a "for life" kind of thing.
as i've talked about here, i believe they both are aware very early on that they want to marry each other.
that said, i also think that early on they both are somewhat worried that the other person may not be as "all in" as they are themselves, and that uncertainty is a source of insecurity for them, especially on sara's side of things.
consequently, i imagine that in the immediate aftermath of them getting together, there is some tentativeness on both sides—a kind of nervousness about trying on new labels and suggesting further changes to their situation (such as possibly moving in together), with both of them trying to hold back so as not to "come on too strong too fast" and freak the other person out.
some of this anxiety, of course, is internal: they both have fairly poor self-esteems and doubt their own lovability in the long term.
however, some is also part and parcel of their situation: the fact that their relationship is and must remain a secret from everyone who matters to them complicates what they're doing together and (especially for sara) raises questions about what to expect in their future.
how can they ever take things to "the next level" if they constantly have to hide the very fact that they're together?
to my mind, that's the only real source of disequilibrium for them during s6—not any actual tension or fighting, but just a kind of diffident, unspoken wondering of "does s/he feel as strongly as i do? is s/he in this for life like i am?"
otherwise, their early relationship is very happy and that they both generally feel very safe and secure with each other.
from that perspective, my take is that what changes for them between s6 and s7 isn't anything having to do with them figuring out their feelings for each other; as stated, to my mind, they've both known, from the beginning, that theirs was a "till death do us part" kind of bond.
in fact, i would go as far as to say: i don't think they would have ever even gotten together had they not both individually felt that level of commitment from the beginning. it was a "this risk is only worth it because you are my one true love and i want to be with you forever" sort of deal.
rather, the shift has more to do with them becoming more confident in the other person's feelings and comfortable in their particular circumstances, navigating their secret romance.
while there are still some question marks, especially for sara, with regards to the whole "does the other person really want to be with me forever?" deal, by and large, the longer grissom and sara are together, the more secure they become in their bond.
grissom starts to get it through his head that despite what he had always feared prior to them getting together, sara isn't going to up and leave him the second he shows any signs of weakness. he learns to trust in her devotion and constancy.
likewise, sara comes to understand that (unlike everyone else she's ever known) grissom isn't about to bounce the second her jagged edges come out. he knows her past, he is cognizant of her issues, and he still loves her all the same. she doesn't have to worry about being too much for him to handle.
though for as long as their relationship must remain a secret to everyone else in the wider world, there is still some uncertainty, particularly on sara's end of things, regarding what their endgame might be, by s7, they've gotten over that initial "if i show too much of my heart, the other person is going to leave me" hang-ups.
—and especially because, by this point, they've really carved out a life together that works for them.
early on, when they first begin seeing each other in vegas, the precarity of their situation definitely contributes to their trepidations regarding the long-term viability of their relationship.
"secret dating"—and hiding their relationship from their trained observer coworkers—is hard work, and it plays into those "what if things get too hard? will s/he leave me?" fears they both have to start out with.
but, again: the longer they stay together and the more they get the hang of balancing their home and work lives, the more at ease they become. after two years of being together, they've figured out a functional system; learned how to keep their thing on the dl. they don't feel that same imminent threat of being discovered that they did in the nascent days of their relationship—not necessarily because the threat itself has actually diminished but rather because they've become so expert in avoiding detection.
by early s7, they're at a point where they feel like they can really have it all: they can maintain the same arrangements that they've always had at work, with grissom being sara's boss and both of them working together (even frequently as partners), while also, after hours, living in the same condo and having a dog and sleeping wrapped up together in the same bed. it's the best of both worlds.
they're supremely comfortable.
the only thing that at all is disquieting to them at this point is their mounting dissatisfaction with having to keep their whole relationship a secret.
however, even though that concern looms, they're not yet ready to broach the topic aloud with each other, as neither one of them wants to upset the delicate balance they've struck.
they both try (instead) to just live in the moment and not worry overmuch about the future.
—and, to my mind, they're largely successful.
like you say, early s7 is a pretty blissful time for them.
jorja fox has talked about how she literally played those episodes as if she were acting in a romcom, and her approach definitely shows.
grissom and sara both just seem happy and well, especially around each other. while eventually some professional burnout will start to sneak in on grissom's side, early on in the miniature case, at least, they are both invigorated and clearly enjoying life.
though they both secretly yearn for more—again, grissom very much has marrying sara on his mind, long before he proposes to her in s8—they're also very satisfied with what they currently have.
like sara will later say in her letter from episode 08x07 "goodbye & good luck," their life together has become a home, and they are both settled and happy.
as a fan, it's very fun to watch—especially before things become more chaotic at the end of s7.
thanks for the question! please feel welcome to send another any time.

For the character ask game: Mac Taylor, CSI NY, #1, 15, 18 and 23
Caveat for all of these answers: I haven’t seen the entire series yet.
1. Why do you like or dislike this character?
I like him because he has high standards. He is thorough in what he does, and he wants scientific *proof* that their suspect is guilty. Sometimes he is a bit full of himself, though :P
15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)
I don’t actually have a favourite ship for him, I suppose. I can see the possibility of Mac/Don (thanks to you :P), there’s potential for Mac/Horatio, maybe someone from an entirely different canon … I’m open for suggestions and happy with multi-shipping :D
18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?
That’d be Stella Bonasera. I like their close friendship and the easy trust between them. They get each other without having to say much.
23. Favorite picture of this character?

a trope I feel isn't used very often; whumpee is already in the hospital, but their friend is still incredibly protective of them. I just watched CSI 7x04 Fannysmackin, and the whumpee, Greg, a CSI, was beat up badly, and was already in the hospital. His coworker Nick was processing the scene of Greg's attack, when someone started saying that "that cop" had gotten what he deserved. Nick got upset and started talking with the guy, got confrontational, and ended up punching the guy. it was just so good. and he was one of the few visibly affected by what had happened to Greg.
YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!! Oh my god I adore that trope so much and you're right it's totally under utilized. I don't watch CSI but I think I'm gonna have to seek out that scene because it sounds lovely. I'm such a big fan of when the whumpee is in the hospital but danger still lurks and their friend is uber protective and will go feral to keep them safe. So good. Also a fan of a protective friend standing up for the whumpee like that.

@mutuals if you're curious why I haven't posted anything About The Thing, it's because I'm stupid enough to be easily traceable from real life to the internet, and also occasionally exist in the direct vicinity of the kinds of politicians that could, theoretically, have an intelligence service vetting people nearby. I don't like, have a clearance to worry about or anything, and technically I'm a contractor anyway, so it's not like I can get fired, but there is a hypothetical world where having a history of vocally supporting "terrorists" etc would put me in a very very awkward situation
