Was talking to darkeyedwolf about how amazing Cho is and felt like expressing this in interpretative dance, but I can't dance, so I wrote this.

It's a fic where Cho blogs and I swear it's not as dumb as it sounds like.

the humble beginnings of an internet superstarthe mentalist, cho + rest of the team, gen with a smidgeon of implied rigsby/van pelt. pg.

War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy - Not enough war. Or peace.

This. Is. Brilliant.

His perspective is all too unique. :DDD

PLEASE SAY YOU'LL WRITE MENTALIST FIC FOREVER

OMG. OMG OMG OMG YES. GRACEFUL TREATS! LISBON'S SECRET DESIRE FOR A BUNNY! The bonding time. The bonding time. This is my personal canon now, that Lisbon routinely braves awkward small talk in an effort at team togetherness.

"Cho didn't even have to cross his arms." BWAHAHA. Oh Van Pelt, you collapse like a souffle.

Cho understood this. It took a special sort of bravery to critisize Lisbon while actually looking at her.

YES.

"Unless a crazy person cut both of my arms off with a sword, I suppose I could."

I could hear the conversation so clearly in my head, it was amazing. His book descriptions were spot-on too. "Magic is pretty creepy" lololol. AND "NO." JUST "NO." PERFECT SUMMATION OF DAN BROWN'S CAREER. NO.

Also I completely agree that Jane popping out of nowhere to say crazy things is the best part of his character.

I've had those "bonding time" convos with some of my former bosses and it's always awkward but they walk away happy knowing they've done their part. Bless.

Can also imagine Rigsby being scared witless of just Lisbon's looks.

Sometimes it was tough, trying to figure out whether Cho would flip on "snarky, randomly hilarious comments" mode or stick to the "short replies" mode, which he usually engages. He's so multi-faceted like that.

I feel bad because I only had Jane analyze the girls here. But I feel like if he'd go off on Cho, Cho would just be like "I don't have to listen to this" and then look at Lisbon and Lisbon would either be like, "Jane, shut up" or allow Cho to leave.

Thank you! <3 Cho :)
