bahahahaha!
reading a fic, wondering if a prop (sunglasses) is a hint, but straight up forgetting that Bernard is, in fact, an important enough character these days that I can totally count on that hint being followed up on. got to be totally surprised by his role! because he is not a forgotten temporary side character and hasnât been for years! highly recommend forgetting that the super minor character you have a soft spot for was promoted in canon.
