The single most impressive fact about the attempt by American women to obtain the right to vote is how long it took. From its earliest beginnings in the public speaking of Fanny Wright in the 1820s and the Grimké sisters in the 1830s, through the complex history of equal rights suffrage associations led by such woman's-rights pioneers as Lucy Stone, Susan Anthony, and Elizabeth Stanton, it was indeed a "century of struggle" (Flexner 1959) before the suffrage amendment to the Constitution was ratified and women could first participate in a national election. Of the first generation pioneers, only Antoinette Brown Blackwell lived to cast her ballot in that first election in 1920.

Class of Villainy - Bursting Into Song 2
(Lila, XY, and Felix are sitting at their usual spot in the cafeteria.)
Lila: And so by the time I realized I had picked the wrong answer for Question 4, it was too late! There’s no way I’ll be getting an A+...
(Felix rolls his eyes before sarcastically patting her on the back.)
Felix: Oh dear, you poor soul. You’ll only be getting an A instead of an A+, how unfortunate.
(Mylene’s tentacles tapped him on the back, as the sea witch barged into their conversation.)
Mylene: 
Poor unfortunate souls! In pain, in need.
Some are wanting to be smarter, others want to get a date
XY: Is Mylene singing?
Mylene:
Yes, indeed!
(Felix was going through the usual routine of being tormented by his cousin. Adrien had transformed into a snake once again, and was strangling Felix. The boy tried desperately to reach for his vial of pixie dust, but was unable to.)
Adrien:
You try to escape with your pixie stuff
But your attempts aren’t up to snuff
I’ll set the record straight, you’re simply out of date
You’re only second rate!
(Adrien laughed maniacally before being bonked in the head by Jess, and was forced to transform back into his normal form.)
(Alya was talking to Lacey about daggers.)
Lacey: You should cover the tip of your blade with poison, so even if they run away, you’ve still mortally wounded them.
Alya: Well, when it comes to knives, you’d certainly know best.
Lacey:
Don’t be spacey, trust in Lacey...
Lacey... knows best.
(Lacey chuckled as she grabbed the edges of her cloak, swirling around and vanishing in an instant.)
Alya: Ah... so that’s how Nino feels...
And there’s Part 2 of Villain Songs. @artzychic27 and @msweebyness. Adrien’s song comes from the Aladdin DVD sequel, and it’s basically an evil version of “Friend Like Me”. I also changed the lyrics of these songs to fit the characters better. As always, please reply, reblog, ask, and post if you have headcanons or ideas for the story, or to let us know what you think so far.

A Prompt Request if anyone is willing to take it?
Salt: Lila Salt, Alya Salt, Bustier Salt
Sugar: Nino Sugar
Pairings: Kagaminette, Chloe X Nino, Lukadrien
Crossover: Shokugeki no Soma / Miraculous Ladybug
REQUEST ::
Let's say that Marinette is the cousin of Alice Nakiri and Erina Nakiri from Shokugeki no Soma/Food Wars just to spice things up. As to Marinette's father he is the youngest brother of Seo Nakiri and Mana Nakiri that makes Marinette as the granddaughter of Senzaemon Nakiri. As for Rolland and Gina was the godparents of Tom Dupain to take care of him as their own child to stay away from tabloid reporters at the last second.
---
Lila thought it would be funny to claim to be very close friends with the Nakiri family just spit some salt on Marinette on them and letting Alya to post false articles on her Lila Blog instead of Ladyblog. But to say Lila wasn't aware that the Nakiri Family is related to Marinette from her dad's side.
Marinette may have accidentally send a message to her cousins about Lila's next lie to them about their family. Clearly Alice and Erina are not very happy at all so they inform this to their grandfather to fix this up and possible to get a lawsuit for both Nakiri and Dupain-Chengs for this misled informations that was informed by Senzaemon's third granddaughter.
Senzaemon thought it would be wise to tell this in public news by Nadja Chamack about a rumor that his granddaughters has been informing him about a certain liar and a certain tabloid reporter who owns Ladyblogger.
----
Kagami seem to be a big fan of Nakiri but was shock that her girlfriend is related to them. She recommend this to her friends to try their dish (meaning Adrien, Luka, Chloe, and Nino).
The rest is up to you to finish !

all of my muses are based within a universe of my own making, but can easily be thrown into any other universe (including the real world) with minimal alterations, if any. information about this universe is below. if you have any questions or curiosities about it, please throw them at me.
magic is an open secret. its existence and use are known by the general population across the world, but not so openly discussed. it’s something that exists and is used by a percentage of the world’s population, but not a concern for most people or governments. there is always an exception, of course– sects of people around the world who have their own, varying issues with the people that can access the one thing they strictly cannot.
when magic first came into being in this universe, a small selection of the population were imbued with its power and given the ability and privilege to use it. only those born of the prime’s lineage are capable of magic use. you cannot learn to access the leylines crisscrossing the globe and the universe as a whole. you are either born with the ability to use magic, or you aren’t. there is nothing that can be done to change that.
some bloodlines have a stronger connection to the leylines than others. there is no rhyme or reason behind why this is so, but there are people that believe it is due to the number of mundanes (non-magic users) that have “diluted” those bloodlines. there is no proof this is true, but those ideas still hold strong in some minds. all users have a specific focus, where their magic is more dominant/stronger with that one use compared to all their other capabilities. these focuses are not genetic, though there may be some similarities between family member. the only focus that is genetic, is shapeshifting abilities.
the general word used for all magic users is ‘witch’, but some individuals (or families) may use different terms for varying reasons.
-------------------------------------------------------------
the rossi siblings have two magic-wielding parents. alice’s husband is a mundane, & both of their daughters are already showing signs of magical abilities. alice’s focus is mental persuasion, austin’s water manipulation, andrew’s the ability to communicate with animals.
nathan’s mom & aunt are magic users, his uncle is not, & his father’s lineage is unknown due to his identity also being unknown. his focus is technological manipulation.
both of shannon’s parents are magic users, as are all of her siblings. her focus is anatomical manipulation.
mike’s dad wields magic, his mom did not, & neither does his step-mom. his older step-sister is a mundane, but their younger brother is able to use magic. mike’s focus is botanical development.
jordi, jaymi, & luz are considered shifters instead of witches, since their type of magic focus is so different from the general population’s, & is the only focus that is genetic. the twins are able to shift into any animal form, but each of them has a preferred/favored animal: a bear (jordi) & a wolf (jaymi). luz is capable of shifting into any human form.

Tumblr media
The office was buzzing with the sound of typing and chatting, pens being passed and chairs being adjusted. The night was surely coming, sun setting against the window panes to cast shadows onto piles of files. Your desk was dark and your pile was unfortunately much taller than everyone else’s. Funny how shooting a criminal earns punishment through 10 more files to fill out. 
But right now, all you cared about was filling your Snoopy mug with something. The coffee machine was broken by a certain muscly man, so some tea bags delivered that day were your only solace. Chamomile. Sounded tranquil enough. 
As you waited for your beverage to brew, you glanced back to your desk and then to your teammates. You should’ve taken Spencer and Emily’s offers to take some files off you, but being a perfectionist and selfless, you kindly declined. Shoulder’s slumping, you pulled the mug close to your nose and took a long smell, closing your eyes in relief. 
Suddenly, right before you could take the much needed first sip, a pang hit your head and your eyes and eyebrows ached, causing you to clench them. When you opened your eyes, the light brownish-yellow of the tea was mixing with red.
Blood. Shit. 
You swiftly turn to grab some tissues as your boss, Aaron Hotchner, was grabbing his plain mug from the top shelf, you hadn’t even noticed him in your panic. He followed you with his eyes as he grabbed a green tea packet. The tissues held against your nose were turning red and soggy. And before he could ask what had happened, you had abandoned your mug and vanished from the room, heading for the bathrooms. 
Aaron furrowed his eyebrows and noticed the discolouration in your mug, before grabbing it and washing it out for you. 
A few days later, Morgan and Reid were sat in front of you, JJ leaning on your seat’s armrest as Aaron conversed with a lawyer over the phone. Prentiss covered the basic details of the case but all you could focus on was the slight pang in your heart when you heard Aaron chuckle at whoever was talking with him. Though your eyes didn’t leave the case files, your ears were suddenly attached to your boss’ voice. 
Which was much closer, after he sat down next to you. 
You felt stupid, being happier now that his attention wasn’t on some other woman, even though his attention still wasn’t on you. He sighed as he sat, a whiff of his strong cologne circling the group as they updated him on other details they had caught. You mentally scolded yourself for acting like a 14 year old girl crushing on her teacher, but alas, you would continue.
“We noticed all of the victims went to private religious schools, most of them went to church as well. Y/n pointed out how in all of their photos, they were dressed in a conservative way - which is a contrast when we look at their ages.” Spencer started before Rossi added,
“They’re all teenagers, nearly turning 20. They all had boyfriends, and we found that one of them was already engaged.” 
You listened carefully, looking at the faces of the victims that were spread on the table, “As well as the common religious commitments, they all had one other thing in common.” You squinted your eyes with a short breath, feeling a headache approaching before you pointed something out that nobody else had noticed, “Same initials, all of them.” 
Hotch nodded, “Amy Sanders, Alice Soo, Adriana Santiago and Alexa Smith. Nice work, Y/n.” 
But before you could reject the complement and internally squeal, a throb attacked your head, and your eyes scrunched to create wrinkles you would try to massage away that night, before you threw your hand under your chin to swiftly catch a drop of blood. It was like a 6th sense these days.
“Excuse me.” You croak, leaving the back of the plane with Prentiss close behind you. You bent your head back before the raven haired woman’s hand pushed it forward. “Don’t do that, the blood might go down your throat.” 
You followed her instructions and raised any eyebrow, pinching the bridge of your nose. “My niece used to have a lot of nose bleeds whenever she had a cold.” She promptly explained as she bent to pull out tissues from the white bathroom cabinets. 
Around 5 minutes later, you and Prentiss returned to your respective seats, no one but you noticing a strong stare following you. “Are you okay, L/n?” Spencer asks, squinting in curiosity. “Yeah, sorry, sensitive nose, that’s all,” you lied.
These weren’t the first times you’ve had nose bleeds at work or around the team. There was one on your third day of work, the second time you went to a bar with Garcia, and one time on the plane around 4 months ago. You had been lucky that all your other nosebleeds happened either on the way to work or in the comfort of your own apartment. These days, when each case was followed by a heavier one, and each road trip was followed by a 10 hour flight, you were starting to get exhausted. You’re body has decided nose bleeds was the indication for you to take a fucking break.
The next week, you had almost forgotten about your unfortunate trait until a certain tall man called you into his office. “I need those finger print files done by tonight, is that alright?” He asked, smooth voice cutting through your fatigue, leaning on the front of his desk only a metre away from you.
You glanced at him up and down. He was clad in a smoke grey suit, perfectly fitted to his muscles and wide shoulders, tie loose enough to show the amount of work he had been through that morning. He smelt amazing, like wood and petichor, like metal and… “Yeah of course, sorry. I put the victims confirmed profiles on Spencer’s desk to check over before I could finalise the um…” Shit. Why did this have to happen right now?
But before you could even excuse yourself or hold a hand to your nose, a soft hand was cupped under your chin, careful not to touch you but close enough to catch droplets. Heat was radiating from the near contact, and you weren’t sure if it was because of the eye contact you were putting yourself through, or the blood that was currently pooling down your chin and into his palm. Aaron had appeared so swiftly, you wondered how he knew. “We should really get you checked out.” He said, recalling back to your third day on the job. 
“You can check- You’re right I should get… your hand is getting blood on it.” He broke your eye contact and glanced down at his palm, before taking a breath and nodding. “Right, let’s get you cleaned up.” 
His other, clean, hand is hovering over your lower back, and everyone’s eyes are hovering over the two of you, following you into the closest bathroom available. You can feel your cheeks heat up. As you pass the kitchenette, he picks up the box of tissues and you try to grab some from his hand, but instead of allowing you, he takes your wrists and holds one to your nose himself. His grip is soft, but restricting, warm. And you can’t help but look at him as he searches for an empty bathroom.
In the bathroom, he guides you to lean over the sink, washing his hands in a sink beside yours while watching you carefully. You look at him through the mirror, and you’re so distracted you almost don’t hear him tell you, “Lean forward more, don’t pinch your nose too hard.” 
You comply and he crosses his arms and leans adjacent to you. “Do you know what’s causing all these nose bleeds?” 
You thought back to shorter than 5 minutes ago and bit your lip, feeling your cheeks heat up once again. “Um, I think it was your cologne.” You glance over to him finding he was already looking into your eyes. You were embarrassed, he was your boss and you were basically insulting him. “You smell great, don’t get me wrong. My nose and I obviously have different… opinions.” 
Aaron nods with a small smirk, compelling you to look away before you say anything more. 
Thankfully, saving you from any more embarrassment, your nose stopped painting the porcelain sink reddish-orange. “Thank you for helping me, Hotch.”
Aaron returned to his computer and opened a tab, searching ‘Common causes for frequent nose bleeds’, and, ‘Ways to avoid nose bleeds’.
And the next morning, Aaron walked into the office to get his coffee (the machine had been promptly fixed after your nose bleed situation) before Morgan spoke up, “New cologne, Hotch?” 
Hotch nodded, and turned back to his coffee, pocketing some chamomile satchels to dispose of later. The comment reassured Aaron.
He wanted to be someone you could be around without risking anymore red tissues. 
Aaron placed himself next to you on the plane, the team had gone over the case six times already, and the plane flight was long. It’s always been long. You opened your mouth to greet him before he cut you off, “We can provide a doctor for you, if these nose bleeds keep happening.” 
You blink in surprise, “I’m sorry they’re inconvenient but there’s not much I can do about it.” You bit the inside of your lip, unaware that your bleeds had caused anything negative other than a decrease in tissue supplies and unwanted attention (not including Aaron’s).
“I’m not saying it’s an inconvenience to me,” he shakes his head, “They’re an inconvenience to you. I’m worried it’s because you’re overworked.” 
Oh. 
You cleared your throat and avoided eye contact.
He continues, “You get to work the earliest, stay the latest, you’re always the one travelling the furthest when we have to split up.”
A smirk appears on your face as you finally look back up at the stoic man, “Sounds like someone I know.” 
“I make time, Y/n.” 
You wrung your hands in your lap and sighed, “I’ve had this problem since I was a kid, Hotch. My longest record between nose bleeds was three months, that's only because I finally found some medication.” Aaron raised an eyebrow. “They had terrible side effects, it wasn’t worth saving some tissues. I can deal, is what I’m saying.” 
He nods and looks away in thought, that's when you allow yourself to look over his chest and arms, his posture and his… smell?
“You smell different.” “I didn’t want a repeat of yesterday.” 
You couldn’t stop thinking about Aaron Hotchner since what he said on that plane a little over five days ago. He changed his cologne, he offered to find a doctor, he listened to your reasoning. You thought he was being friendly. You wanted him to be a little bit more than that.
The plush seats and convenient seating arrangement that put you next to Aaron didn’t offer any comfort against the dry and hot weather of Nevada. If a place was your enemy, this was it. You had already concealed a small bleed in the drive over, Spencer not giving you a second look when you pretended to sneeze into a tissue. With the increased frequency, she didn’t want any useless worry. You weren’t going to take a break, so you needed to hide any signs of exhaustion as best you could. Even when the sheriff opened every window in the temporary office, JJ continued waving herself with a file, Morgan had already chugged three plastic bottles of water. Even Hotch only had a dark blue dress shirt on and damn did he look hotter than the sun. 
But even with your best techniques and play-pretends (never looking down for too long, staying hydrated, avoiding the hotter places in the precinct), an unfortunate pang hit the front of your head and travelled to your nose. Your eyes shuddered, and you started to look for a tissue, before one appeared at the bottom of your chin before blood even trickled down your top lip. 
It was Aaron holding it there, eyes on the case. 
You looked at him in surprise and awe, before you took the tissue off him and excused yourself, getting a worried look from the old sheriff. 
The tall man had learnt when you were about to get a nosebleed, a sudden stop in motion, scrunched eyebrows and eyes, stopped breathing. And as you left his line of vision, he tried not to worry about the amount of blood you would lose in this weather, and it motivated to close this case even more. 
Everyone around the table glanced at Hotch and then at each other, putting on blank faces when Hotch looked up. 
It wasn’t much better in the hotel rooms you had been given. They had aircon, and free water, but small windows, and broken fridges.
It was a relief to be able to sit on something that wasn’t covered in someone else’s sweat, even if it would be covered soon by your own. You had the coldest shower you think you’ve ever had, put on a larger t-shirt and a small pair of basketball shorts to fight against the heat during the night.
It came a surprise to you when you were blood free the entire afternoon and you counted it as good luck for the flight home, forgetting to place tissues or water on your bedside table. After denying an invitation to poker, you threw yourself onto the bed with crisp white sheets and soft pillow cases, in the direct shot of the air conditioning and only window in the room, and passed out.
There was a frantic knocking on your door, or maybe a pounding in your head. You couldn’t tell, and when you tried to investigate, you felt like your eyelids were sewn shut.
You were able to peak them open and lift yourself weakly, when suddenly a figure appeared in front of you with long blonde hair and soft hands on your shoulders.
“JJ?” Your lips felt tight.
“Jeez, Y/n. How long have you been sick?” Her voice was muffled, but as your vision became clearer so did your hearing. Hotch stopped in your open doorway, already dressed and bags dropped in the hallway, before walking in.
For a second you were going to try and stand to clean your room, realising how late it was. But as soon as you tried to stand, everything went hazy, and you could taste metal on your tongue.
“Y/n, we need to get you cleaned up.” JJ said sweetly, as if you were a child. She took your heavy arms and pulled them to the bathroom, light making your headache into a migraine.
You lifted a hand to the bone between your eyebrows, and when you took it off, it had dried blood on it. As JJ grabbed your body towel from last night and wet a corner of it, you stole a sight of your face. Your mouth and nose was covered in dry blood, some of it had travelled to your left cheek, and between your eyebrows. There was fresher blood on your chin and some even on your next.
You had a delirious thought that you had been stabbed, or you had stabbed someone, but when you looked out into the bedroom and saw Aaron taking the pillow case off of the pillow you were using, you wondered if you caused it to go from white to red overnight.
“What happened?” JJ asked, carefully placing her fingertips on the bottom of your jaw while her other hand dabbed softly at your face. You couldn’t answer, even though you had a fairly good guess. Aaron appeared in the mirror to hand JJ some pain killers, for you.
Swallowing was painful, but as your blonde friend wiped off the last bit of blood from your top lip, you looked worse than your throat felt.
“I’m sorry JJ, I could’ve cleaned myself up.”
“Don’t apologise Y/n. You worried me. You weren’t responding to your texts, not even Hotch’s,” she put the towel down and looked into your eyes with a motherly concern. “I think you need to listen to Hotch when he offers you a doctor again.”
And you nod, because she was right.
JJ left the room with a hug, leaving you with a very cross Aaron Hotchner.
“I’m-“
“You could’ve choked, or suffocated, or passed out- Actually I think you did.” He motioned towards your alarm clock that had been running since 5 a.m. “Y/n…” He looked confused, worried, sad? Your eyes hadn’t 100% cleared yet, a headache slowly throbbing, knees still slightly buckling. You wanted to lay down and be thrown into an ice bath.
“How was I supposed to know this would happen?” You croaked out.
“You’ve got one window open, cold and dry aircon on, and no water bottle on your bedside table. You should’ve asked to sleep in the same room as someone, in the same room as me.”
You looked down to your feet, only noticing now that Aaron had packed all of your things for you.
“I thought you had been…” He raked a hand through his hair and paced before placing his hands on your upper arms, “I’m going to get you to a doctor, and you can’t say no. That’s an order.”
His grip tighten only slightly, before he turned around and left with your luggage, heart beating fast in his chest.
You were back home, thank god. The air was cooler and clearer, and you didn’t feel like you needed to moisturise every two minutes. You stretched your arms above your head, squishing your eyes closed for some relief to the sting from the computer screen. Your chest expanded deeply, and your nose finally cleared. 
And when you opened your eyes, you glanced over to your boss’ office windows to see if he was still working. But he was already out of his door, looking at you. 
Butterflies played tag with each other in your stomach, a blush crossing your face and you both shot your gazes away. 
His shoes were nearly silent against the floor, but when you quickly stood to pack your shoulder bag and take the sweater off the back of your chair, Aaron was there to greet you when you turned around.
“Let me walk you out?” He asked, as if the last words he said to you weren’t full of unprofessional emotions.
You were silent for at least 3 seconds, Aaron getting worried for a second before you stumbled over your words, “Y-Yes plea- Yeah. Sure.” 
He smiled, a genuine smile. 
Side by side, his briefcase touching your shoulder bag, you made your way towards the elevator. Aaron fiddled with his fingers and felt unfamiliarly nervous, heart thumping a little harder than when he walked out of his office. 
“Thank you for everything. Caring, catching my blood. I would ask how you knew, but you are a profiler after all.” You smile softly, and he nods. “I’m glad you noticed.” He presses on the car park level in the elevator, hands coming to discreetly fidget once again. 
And you can’t take the silence, “You still smell good.” 
“You always do.” Aaron looks as surprised that he said that as you do, looking away quickly before looking up and sighing, “Tomorrow is Saturday.” 
“Yeah.”
“Do you have any plans?” 
“I have a movie I want to watch, maybe a recipe I wanna try,” you reply oblivious, shuddering at the sudden change of temperature when you both exit the elevator. Suddenly a thicker layer of fabric was draped over your shoulders, one that smelt like new cologne. You blushed, looking up at him. 
The cold breeze was pushing his hair out of place slightly, making his nose a little redder, his eyes clearer. He looked like the word handsome humanised. 
“I think that you should watch that movie and try that recipe at… my place.” 
You widened your eyes chasing any regret or embarrassment in his eyes, but all you got was nervousness, something you had rarely seen in him before. 
He is so handsome, I can’t believe this is happening, I have to tell Garcia- Can I tell Garcia? He’s my boss after all- I mean this doesn’t mean it had to be a date or anything- 
Some blood dripped onto the jacket draped over his shoulders. 
“You could’ve just said no.” He joked as you pinched your nose, smiling against the small headache. It must’ve been the last bit of blood from that morning. “No, I wanna go, I do- Just, could you get a tissue from my glovebox? I don’t want to get anymore blood on your coat.” You reply, nasally and carefully. 
“We’re definitely getting you to a doctor.” 
“Sounds like a fun first date.”

Review: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Union Theatre
Review: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Union Theatre
Til Tomorrow Theatre Company’s double-cast production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Union Theatre is energetic and occasionally over-enthusiastic “What hast thou done?” A Midsummer Night’s Dream is probably my favourite of Shakespeare’s plays, the first I ever read and the one I’m most likely to book in for even when I’m a little bored of the Bard.

Drive, executive ability, and a single-mindedness of purpose became enduring characteristics of Susan Anthony. She was impatient with whatever did not contribute directly to the battles she waged in her various campaigns for reform. She began as a teacher at the age of seventeen, and for many years she was a critical observer and then vigorous participant at teachers'-association conventions.
An early example of her courage and ability to press to the main point of an argument can be seen in her role at the 1853 state convention of schoolteachers. At this time women teachers could attend but could not speak at the convention meetings. Susan listened to a long discussion on why the profession of teaching was not as respected as those of law, medicine, and the ministry. When she could stand it no longer, she rose from her seat and called out, "Mr. President!" After much consternation about recognizing her, she was asked what she wished. When informed that she wished to speak to the question under discussion, a half-hour's debate and a close vote resulted in permission. Then she said:
“It seems to me, gentlemen, that none of you quite comprehend the cause of the disrespect of which you complain. Do you not see that so long as society says a woman is incompetent to be a lawyer, minister or doctor, but has ample ability to be a teacher, that every man of you who chooses this profession tacitly acknowledges that he has no more brains than a woman? And this, too, is the reason that teaching is a less lucrative profession, as here men must compete with the cheap labor of woman. Would you exalt your profession, exalt those who labor with you. Would you make it more lucrative, increase the salaries of the women engaged in the noble work of educating our future Presidents, Senators and Congressmen.”
Susan's point on the wage scale of occupations in which many women are employed is as pertinent in the 1970s as it was in the 1850s. Equal pay for equal work continues to be seen as applying to equal pay for men and women in the same occupation, while the larger point of continuing relevance in our day is that some occupations have depressed wages because women are the chief employees. The former is a pattern of sex discrimination, the latter of institutionalized sexism.

i watched the midwich cuckoos and while i had more questions than answers, i would give it a 7/10. i was very confused as to why it had such low ratings on imdb and...wow. and this country really tried to say it was not racist. these reviews by the way, are a response to the diversity in the show. (the original novel had them all blonde with blue eyes, here the kids look different but are clearly the same, explained as having 100% dna from the host mother).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the ironic thing is, it's all under the guise of being more 'believable'. they're all screaming as to why the show would showcase a diverse community where everyone lives together in 'harmony' when, as these lovely people have demonstrated, they would not. they're yelling it's 'woke' because the town wouldn't be that diverse because they're racist so they wouldn't allow it.

You and Spencer had been together for 5 months now, and although things have progressed faster than normal relationships (you both getting engaged, moving in, having Alice think of you as more than a nanny, more than a step parent as well), you couldn’t help but feel the most happy you have in your life. 
You both really hadn’t really told anyone of your engagement, including your family and friends, only Alice. That was all about to change tonight, as you were hosting an engagement party, where’d you both would announce it.
“Are you getting ready hun?” Spencer asks as he knocks on the bathroom door.
“Yep.. almost finished though!” you respond, quickly finishing up your look for tonight.
You open the door, only to see Spencer’s lanky frame leaning on the doorframe. He’s wearing a warm grey cotton vest, over his off white button up, paired with a dusty purple tie and black slacks. Your eyes meet his and his smile instantly brightens..
“You look.. woah” he chuckles, giving you a kiss on your cheek.
Your face reddens, his compliments making your mouth curl into a smile.
“You don’t look so bad yourself” you chuckle, giving his tie a little straighten. 
“Mapa!” Alice comes running towards you, wearing a dress matching the colours of Spencer’s tie. 
You smile and pick her up, playing with her wavy hair. She was practically a mini Spencer, from her hair and to her eyes.
“Do you want me to braid your hair?” you ask her, kissing the top of her little head.
“Please!” she smiles, and you set her on top of the bathroom counter.
“Spencer, do you mind setting up the munchies and drinks as I tend to Princess Alice here?” you ask, the nickname making Alice giggle happily. 
He nods and heads off, and you turn back to Alice. You grab the brush and hair ties, getting started on braiding. You do a classic, Elsa style braid, on her. 
“Aw, pumpkin, you look gorgeous” you smile at her, helping her off the counter.
“I’m like Elsa!” she squeals, spinning around. 
You chuckle and escort her to the kitchen area, seeing the island counter filled with various assortments of snacks and drinks. You look around, not seeing Spencer in the kitchen. 
“Hmm.. where’s your father huh?” you ask Alice quizzically, and in response, she shrugs.
“Over here!” A voice is heard from the living room, and Alice runs over to it. 
“Daddy!” she giggles, climbing onto the couch, where he was lying down and reading a book. 
You lean over the back of the couch, chuckling at the sight.
“Seriously Spence, you read more than everyone I know combined” you tease.
“Did you know that reading strengthens your memory and concentration? Yeah, according to a stu-” he starts to say, but he’s cut off by a tiny ‘NO!’ from Alice.
You burst out laughing, covering your face at Alice’s response, Spencer just has wide eyes as he’s silenced by her. Alice crosses her arms at him, clearly having heard a lot of his ramblings in her (short) life.
A knock has arrived at the front door, the first guests finally have arrived. You swiftly dash to the front door, opening it. 
“Penelope, hello” you smile at the woman, who’s dressed in a pretty pink dress with butterflies. 
“Hello sunshine, I come bearing more sustenance!” she chuckles, holding up a container of dip as she enters the entryway. 
“You didn’t have to, thank you!” you take the dip from her as she takes off her grey pumps.
“Aunty Penny!” Alice comes barreling in at the sound of her voice, practically tackling her leg. 
“Oh my, you look so gorgeous Ali!” Penelope practically gasps, picking up the girl. 
Alice smiles and wraps her arms around Penelope’s neck as she heads to the kitchen area. 
“Where’s Uncle Derek?” Alice pouts her lips. 
“He should be here soon, don’t worry” she smiles at her. 
————————
The party was bustling, laughing and music filling the room. Everyone was almost there, minus a certain Italian. 
“I’m late, I’m sorry!” his voice is heard from the front door, belonging to the last guest. 
“Rossi, we were wondering where you were!” JJ chuckles, and he shrugs. 
“Had to pick up my favourite wine” he holds up a clearly expensive bottle, setting it on the counter. 
You’re holding Alice on your hip, and she is clearly exhausted, even though the party has been going on for less than an hour. 
“There’s my beautiful nipote” David approaches, giving the sleepy girl a kiss on the head, before moving to you and giving your cheek a 'Rossi hello'. 
“Nonno!” she exclaims, her voice quiet as he reaches out for him, in which he complies. 
You smile, looking around to see if Spencer is seeing the same thing you are. You see him smiling on the other side of the island, and then he makes eye contact with you, causing him to smile more. 
“Look at my dress Nonno!” Alice exclaims, her energy increasing more by the minute.
“Bellissima!” he chuckles.
“Mapa got it for me when we went dress shopping” she proudly proclaims.
“Oh?” he asks, curious to know. 
“Yep, we also got to try different cakes and look at rings for Mapa and Daddy!” she claps her hands.
Everyone pauses, clearly thinking the same thing.
“Did.. did you guys get engaged?” Emily finally speaks up, looking at you and then Spencer.
You and Spencer awkwardly exchange looks, as there was no point in hiding the engagement from them anymore.
“Surprise?” Spencer speaks up, his hands making a ‘I surrender’ pose. 
The whole group laughs and cheers, Derek giving Spencer a friendly pat on the back.
“How long?” Jennifer asks, a faint smile on her face.
“Three months” you laugh, your hand on your forehead. 
“I can’t believe you kept that a secret from us for that long” Derek exclaims, teasing Spencer.
Spencer’s mouth curls into a smile as he looks at you. 
“I want to see the ring!” Penelope says, her voice giddy.
You whip out the ring, which had been stashed in your pocket this whole time. It’s a quite simple ring, which is what Spencer knew you wanted instead of an oversized one.
“Gorgeous!” Emily says as they all fawn over the ring.
You smile down at the ring in your hands, proudly showing it off.

MASTERLIST #2
Navigation!
Let me know if there are any characters you’d like added and I’ll look into it! :)
Smut = **
What I will NOT write for under any circumstance: R@pe, incest, anything to do with pee or poo, hardcore bdsm or anything like that type of smut, kidnapping reader for love, anything stalker, abuse unless it’s for angst but I won’t go into detail about the abuse (though I will do like slapping/spanking for smut it cannot have malicious meaning behind it, and there is always consent for that)
Also let me put this by itself, pregnancy is also way off the table. It’s 6 feet underground. I understand it’s part of life and it’s beautiful , and that’s for people to decide but personally I find just the concept of that horrifying and gross. I do breeding kink yes, but no description of pregnancy. (No hate to pregnant people I just can’t stand the concept of pregnancy in any form.)

okay but cowboy!reader taking jj horseback riding when they visit his parents town for a case. they don't come back to his parents house (where they're all staying- readers mom wouldn't take no for an answer) until the early morning and the team teases them about it the next morning over homemade breakfast. reader is all blushey about it because he just genuinely lost track of time showing jj around and jj just isn't phased by the teasing. buddy distracting everyone from the conversation by finally getting fed bacon.
- 🦦
PART ONE (this can be read alone, but it starts the day after part one)
Description: Being close to home, the team finally get to meet reader's family. Things start out great and then... Not so much. Reader makes sure his younger brother knows that despite what their parents have said, he's still there for them.
Warning: homophobia, someone nearly says the f-slur twice (they don't say the whole thing, reader puts them in their place), mentions of going to conversion therapy, pro-conversion therapy views, being kicked out because of sexuality, unaccepting parents, unaccepting sibling (Jason's a bit of a dick and I stand by that). I think that's everything.
A/N: Sorry if this seems rushed at all aha (it's like 3k words but idk worried it's rushed). Also just to clarify I'm against conversion therapy (i'm saying it as a just in case it needs to be said).
Taglist: @xweirdo101x @xdark-acadamiax @ara-a-bird @heidss @chubbyboyinflannel @pendragon-writes @migwayne @bigolgay @technikerin23 @supercriminalbean @honestlycasualarcade @caffeine-mess @1s3v3n1 @oddmiles @kevyeen @stealing-kneecaps @criminalskies @woodandwaxwings @wizardmon3 @aphroditeslovr @ducks118 @azeal-peal @13thdoctor-run @introvertpan84 @goth-boi-atlas
You all met in the lobby at nine the next morning, you winced, seeing the appearance of the rest of the team, “Y’all okay?”
“No,” They groaned simultaneously. 
“Alright, well, breakfast is on me,” You chuckled, “And I’ll drive so you can all sleep on the way there,” You held back a laugh as they all relaxed in relief (well, minus Rossi and Hotch who always made sure to be relatively simple with their drinking). 
It wasn't a long drive, two hours max, before you arrived home. When you got out of the car, you drew in a deep breath, childhood memories rushing in. You had missed his place. You tried to get back as much as you could, for holidays and birthdays, but it never felt enough.
“Hi Mama!” You cheered, walking towards her with a grin.  
“(Y/N)! What are you doing with your shoes on?” She raised her eyebrows, putting her hands on her hips. “Boy you know you need to take them off when you get in!” Alice, your Mama, looked up, seeing the panicked look of the team, she continued, “Oh, y'all don't need to worry your pretty little faces about it, (Y/N) should have remembered.” 
“Sorry Mama,” You responded, quickly taking your shoes off and removing your hat and giving her a kiss on the cheek, “How are y’all?”
“We're all okay, son,” A gruff voice sounded through the room.
“Pops!” You grinned, giving your father a handshake before a hug. “Where's the squirt?” You asked, looking around.
“I'm not that much smaller than you,” Aden rolled his eyes, you didn’t respond, simply pulling your younger brother into an embrace.
“I didn’t realise he was such a hugger,” Emily smirked slightly as she spoke to your mother.
“Oh, (Y/N)’s always been a hugger,” Alice says, “He’s a complete softy.”
“We could never have known.” Morgan said before continuing, “Especially with all his reckless shoot outs,”
“His what?” Your Pops exclaimed. 
“You're such an ass-” You hissed, turning to Morgan with a glare. 
“Y/N!” Alice exclaimed.
“Sorry Mama! See y'all come over and now I'm in trouble every few minutes,” You said, turning your attention back to the team. 
“Is what this lovely man said true?”
“Yes Mama, but in my defence-”
“Good luck son,” You Pops said, patting your shoulder. “Can I get anyone a drink? I reckon Alice’ll be chewing him out for a least ten minutes,”
Three minutes into the lecture, the door opened and closed loudly. You turned and saw your older brother, Jason, walk in.
“Well I'll be damned, if it isn't my snotty nosed younger brother!” Your head snapped up and your Mama wrapped up her lecture as you walked towards your brother.  
“Jason! How you been?!” You pull him into a tight embrace.
“Not too bad, not too bad.” Jason answered, “Plodding along,”
Your attention switched over to Emily as she cleared her throat, “Oh! Sorry, this is my team. So Hotch, Rossi, Morgan, Garcia, Emily, JJ, and Reid,”
“I think you only had a younger brother?” 
“Oh, er, Jason was Mama and Papa’s first child and then they adopted me and Aden,” You quickly explained.
“I see, don’t mention your least favourite brother, I see how it is,” Jason teased, you rolled your eyes. 
“Whatever,” Jason laughed and gently shoved you. 
“Ladies, y’all can take the spare room,” You said, “Gents, y’all can take my room. Aden, you lucky thing, get me sleepin on your floor,” Aden groaned loudly, causing the team to chuckle. 
You had a few hours to settle down and you showed the team around, showing them who’s room was who’s, by the time you were settled, you were being told that it was time for dinner. And soon enough you were all sat around the table. 
"Mrs (L/N), we were wondering if you had any good stories on young y/n here?" Derek asks with a grin.
Your face pales as your Mama smile, "Mama, that's not really necessary-"
“Nonsense! Your team wants to learn more about you,” She gave you a smile, patting your cheek. You found yourself sinking in your chair. “Sit up straight,” 
“Yes Ma’am,” You turned to Morgan, “I’ll get you back for this,” You mumbled, turning to your mashed potatoes. 
“We used to have this horse, Cinnamon,” You Mama started and you found yourself groaning in embarrassment. 
“You don’t even know what story Mama’s going to tell,” Jason pointed out.
“Doesn’t matter, they’re all embarrassing,” You mumbled. 
“He used to sneak out at night to sleep in her stable,” Your Mama began. 
"Which would have been adorable if he wasn't sixteen," Jason snorted, you groaned loudly.
"Can you not embarrass me in front of my colleagues?" 
"You do that yourself," Aden chimed in with a smirk.
“Kid, don’t test me-”
“Whatever, you’re an old man now,” Aden shot back. “Has (Y/N) told you about the time he got escorted out of a rodeo for threatenin’ the judges?”
“Oh god, I forgot about that!” You groaned loudly, placing your head in your hands as your team laughed loudly. 
When night time rolled around, you parted ways with your team. The men heading to one room, the ladies heading to the other. You and Aden made your way to his room. You set up the sleeping bag and laid down. Eventually, Aden hopped into his bed, turning off his lamp and leaving you both in darkness. 
“Which one is the one you have a crush on?” Aden asked you, breaking the silence.
“Hm?”
“The one you message me about,” 
“Oh, JJ,” You said. “The blonde one without glasses,” 
“Oh, she’s pretty.” Aden said, “You should totally ask her out.”
“Not that simple I’m afraid kid,” You sighed, “We work together.”
“No, it is that simple, grown ups just complicate everything for no reason.” You paused, taking in his words. He did have a point, (sort of). 
“I guess.” You shrugged, “I dunno, guess I’m scared of rejection.”
“That would make sense,” Aden shrugged, “Given our past n all,”
“Dr Aden over here,” You joked. 
Aden paused for a moment, shifting so he could look at you, “I think I wanna be a profiler when I’m older,” 
Your eyebrows shot up in surprise, “Really?”
“Yeah,” Aden gave a small smile, “I think I could help do some good.”
“Aw, you wanna be just like you’re big brother,” You teased before sobering up, “I think you’d be good at it,”
“Really?” You smiled as his face lit up.
“Definitely, you got a smart brain in there, kid.”
“Thanks!” Aden laid back down, the pair of you smiling softly to yourselves. Silence took over for a few seconds. “Y/N can I tell you something?” Aden asked into the darkness.
“Sure, kid, what's up?”
There was a small pause, before Aden’s voice laced with anxiety piped up, “Promise it won't make you hate me?”
“Nothing you say would make me hate you, kiddo.” You said strongly. “Ever.”
“I- I like boys, I'm gay.”
You couldn’t help but smile, “Kid, that's okay. You're allowed to like boys, there's nothing wrong with it.” You reassured, Aden breathed a sigh of relief.
“I wanna tell Mama and Pops, could you wait close by in case it goes badly?”  
“Of course, but I'm sure it'll go okay. When did you want to tell them?” 
“Hmm… Two days time? I feel like that gives me some prep time.” 
“Okay kid,” You said, “Now get some sleep,”
“A’right, night, (Y/N),”
“Night Aden,” You said, “Love you kid,”
“You too,” He yawned. 
JJ opening the door and chiming a ‘good morning’ is what woke you at eight am the next morning. Normally, you would have been mad, having been woken up so early. But seeing JJ smile at you seemed to put the world right. 
“Mornin’,” You replied, your voice deep from sleep. “You sleep well?” 
“You betcha cowboy,” She responded with a twinkle in her eyes, you huffed a laugh. “Your mum says breakfast will be ready in ten minutes.”
Both you and Aden sat up at the mention of food. “We’ll be right down.” Aden said. When JJ had left, Aden turned back to you. “Where’s Buddy?”
“Sleeping in Mama and Pops’ room, apparently they’ve missed him more than me,” Aden gave a laugh as he left the room. 
After breakfast, you sat on your couch, staring out the window into your backyard when JJ sat next to you. “You know, when you were talking about your childhood yesterday, I realised something.”
“Yeah?”
“I’ve never ridden a horse before,” 
You bit your lip, forcing yourself to keep a variety of different jokes in your head - reminding yourself that it wasn’t the time or the place. 
“Never?” You asked instead, and she shook her head. 
“Nope, not once.”
“Would you like to? We’ve got horses,” You said, “I’m sure Mama and Pops won’t mind. I could even show you around a bit.”
JJ looked at you before nodding. “Yeah, okay,” She gave you a smile. 
When you both got back it dark, you put both the horses back in the stables, following the usual steps (picking out the hooves and such) before you gave them an apple each and thanked them (something you always did after a ride). With that, you made your way back into the house. 
“Well hey there stud,” Is what greeted you. You stared at Morgan, jaw dropped. “You two kids have been out a while,”
“I showed her around town,” You explained, feeling an awful lot like a teenager who stayed out past curfew. 
“Uh-huh,” Penelope chimed, folding her arm.
“Hey, hey now,” You responded, “I just showed her around town, I showed her where I went to school, things like that.”
“Just ignore them,” JJ replied, giving you a smile, “They clearly don’t have anything better to do.”
“You wound me with your words,” 
“Children, stop arguing,” Your Mama chimed, “Agent Rossi and Agent Hotchner has helped me cook dinner.”
“Rossi and Hotch are gonna be your new dads,” Morgan teased, you grabbed the closest pillow, throwing it at his head. 
And soon enough, you were all sat around the table eating. “I’m just saying,” Aden said, he, Morgan, Prentiss, and Garcia grinning at you, “It’s a bit suspicious that you only took JJ out.”
You opened your mouth to argue when you witnessed Buddy stand on his hind legs and steal some bacon off of Morgan’s plate. 
"Buddy!" Your eyes are wide as Buddy runs off with all of Morgan's bacon. "I am so sorry-!" You explain before running after him. "Buddy I thought we were trying a raw diet?!" 
Buddy barked and your jaw dropped, "Don't take that tone with me, Mister." 
“And on that note, I think we should all call it a night,” Your Pops said with a chuckle. 
A few hours later, you laid back in your sleeping bag in the dark, “I think I’m going to tell them tomorrow.” Aden said thoughtfully, “I want it over with.”
“A’right kid,” You said, “I’ll be there,”
“I know, you’re always there when I need you,” Aden sat up to give you a smile, “Except for that time when you were too busy getting to know Rosie-”
“Hey, you told me you were fine, don’t open that can of worms kid-” Aden cut you off with a fit of laughter and soon enough you joined in. “You damn near gave me a heart attack with that.”
“That’s because you’re an old man.” You gasped dramatically.
“How dare you!” 
“Boys you better go to sleep!” You heard your Mama exclaim through the door and you both struggled to keep your laughter quiet.
It was JJ that woke you that morning as well (something you could quite happily get used to). When she left, once again the pair of you got ready for the day. 
“I think I might tell Mama and Pops before breakfast. I want to get it over with.”
“A’right, kiddo, I’ll be right outside, okay?” You reassured and he nodded. You gathered our clothes, getting dressed in the bathroom whilst Aden got changed in the bedroom. And then the pair of you walked downstairs, you waiting outside the kitchen door in the living room whilst Aden walked inside.
It had only been two minutes when Morgan approached you. “You good?” Morgan asked, seeing you standing in the living room staring intently at the kitchen door. You turned to him and gave a nod.
“Yeah, Aden wanted me close while he tells Mama and Pops something.” You answered, giving Morgan a small smile, “He was a bit nervous,”
The door flew open and closed again, looking at you for a split second before flinging his arms around you as he gave a small sob. “Kid? Kiddo, what's wrong?” You asked, rubbing circles on his back.  
“You were wrong, it wasn't okay.” Aden cried.
“What’d they say?”  
“That it’s wrong and I need conversion therapy.” Aden’s answer was short but made your stomach drop. 
“Aden, look at me. There is nothing wrong with you. What they say don't matter, you hear me? They're bigots.” Your eyes flicked up to JJ, Emily, Penelope, and Spencer as they wandered in, concerned, “Why don't yall go pack some stuff, okay? 'm gonna talk to Mama and Pops, okay?”
You waited until Aden was out of the room before you walked in, “Y’all wanna tell me what the fuck you just said to that kid? He's crying his eyes out.”
“We told him the truth.” Your Mama answered.
“Really and what would that be?” You asked, folding your arms.
“That we don't want the likes of him under this roof.” Your Pops is the one who answered this time. 
“The likes of him?”
“He's a homosexual!” Your Pops exclaimed, his face slowly starting to turn red.
“He's your son.” You stated.
“He's a fa-”
“Don't you even fuckin call him that again, you hear me?” You exclaimed, “I don't care if you're our pops, you call him that again I knock you out, understood?”
“We're your parents,” Your Mama exclaimed, “Where's your respect?”
“Funny enough, Ma, my respect left the minute you told my baby brother that the only way he would be accepted in this household is if he changed himself.”
“How are you defendin’ him?” She asked. 
“There's nothing wrong with being gay.” You scoffed loudly, were they really so blatantly homophobic?
“It's disgustin’!” 
“He's your son-”
“He's a sinner.”
“He’s a fourteen year old boy!” You could feel yourself starting to lose your temper.
“We've told him he can stay if he goes to conversion therapy.” 
“Then he's leavin’. I'll look after him.” You state. 
“You want him? Take him. We don't want a fa-” You don’t realise you’re reacting until you’re swinging. You hear a slight crunch as it hits his nose, you ignore it. You also ignore the pain that flashes through your hand on impact.
“I told you not to fuckin’ talk about my brother like that.” You state, pointing harshly at him. “Don’t fuckin’ talk about him like that.”
“(Y/N), You need to step out of the room,” You didn’t even realise Derek was in the room, until his fingers are wrapping around your shoulders in an attempt to pull you out of the room. You quickly shrug his arm off you.
“Y’all don't deserve a kid like Aden,” You leave the room, wanting nothing more than to go back in there and talk some sense into them. Instead you force yourself shoulders back, force yourself to take a deep breath and turn to Aden, “Come on kid, let's go. You okay with stayin’ with me for a while?” 
“What’s going on?” Jason asked, walking into the room.
You turned to Aden, waiting until he nodded before you continue, “Aden just told Ma and Pops he’s gay and they told him to go to conversion therapy.”
Jason nods, “Good, it’ll help him.”
You scoff loudly, “You know what? I was so fuckin’ wrong about this family. Come on, Aden, we’re goin’,”
“You wait in the car, we’ll round up the others,” JJ said, placing her hand on your arm as she gives you a small smile. Aden follows you with his head down, hands in front as he anxiously picked at his nails.
You opened the passenger door for him, motioning for him to get in (the others could make do in the back for now, you needed to check on your brother). “Whatchya thinkin’?”
“I screwed all this up,” Aden whispers, “(Y/N)- I’m so sorry,”
“What? Hey, no,” Your answer is immediate, “Kid you did nothin’ wrong.”
“But now Mama and Pops don’t want anything to do with us, it’s just us.” Aden said, “I screwed it all up and now we’re back to square one.”
“Hey, no.” You keep your voice firm, “You did nothin’ wrong, what you told them is perfectly acceptable. It’s them that has the problem, a’ight? If that’s a make or break deal, then so be it.”
“But-”
“Kid, I would choose you over anyone, any day.” You said, “You’re my brother, which means you’re stuck with me for life. You hear me? I would rather have no one and still have you than have everyone without you,”
“But I-”
“You did nothin’ wrong.” You answer strongly. 
“(Y/N)-”
“No, kid, I won’t have you thinking anything bad about yourself because of this,”
“I was just going to say that I think you need to go to the hospital,” He said, pointing to your hand, which was already bruising and beginning to swell.
“I’ll be fine,” You said, shrugging him off. 
“Did you punch him?”
“Yep,” You replied, not one to lie to your brother, even about something like this. “He said some unacceptable things.”
“About me?”
“Yeah, kid. So I broke his nose.” 
“I think you also broke your hand,” Aden pointed out. 
“I did not break my hand.”
“Prove it.”
“How can I even prove that?”
“Straighten your hand.”
You stared at him, “Fine.” You begin to straighten your hand out, “Okay, you’re right,”
Rossi opened the door, “What’s the kid right about?”
“He broke his hand,” You stared at him in disbelief. “What? You weren’t gonna tell him.” You huffed.
“To the hospital we go,” Hotch chimed, motioning for you and Aden to move into the back so he and Rossi could sit up front with him driving. 
“Sir-”
“We don’t want to hear it,” Rossi said, you huffed once more glaring at Morgan as he laughed. 
And that’s how you ended up with a cast on your hand and a scowl.

ALICE ROSSI, lead singer of Slayer! [@infamous-if OC]
Fun facts!
✮⋆˙ Alice is a proud born and raised argentinian!! (Her name was actually Alicia but she legally changed it to Alice.)
✮⋆˙ She insisted on the band somewhat matching styles (or a certain color palette at least) but after Seven left the band she just gave up on the concept.
✮⋆˙ After Seven left, she got pretty resentful towards the others and considered leaving herself but since she lost (whom she thought was at the time) the love of her life, she decided to make Slayer a sucess, no matter what. The band was all she had left.
✮⋆˙ Which doesn't mean she's attached to the band, necessarily. She won't think twice about going solo if the band ever breaks up.
✮⋆˙ Has written songs about Seven post-breakup but never even attempted to record one. She couldn't bring herself to show that wound to the world. Alice has gotten over Seven now but she wishes they could talk it out and get some closure.
✮⋆˙ Loves red and black and star motif on her clothes!
✮⋆˙ She feels like she's constantly putting on a performance, even with the band. (She admits to herself she can be a little fake, or two faced... but it's all for the band's sucess.)
✮⋆˙ Has the biggest crush on Orion and has been trying to make Orion give her a chance pretty much since they met. Whenever she's with Orion she feels herself relax a little and she wishes Orion would feel the same way.
✮⋆˙ Every year on her birthday she records a cover from one of her favorite songs and uploads it on her personal channel. The most viewed is Misery Business by Paramore.
I have so many thoughts about her but it would get too long lol. I am not normal about her and Orion (and this IF, tbh) at all!!!

hotch thought that’s been stuck in my head: you both work at the bau so you don’t kiss at the door in the morning like most couples, but instead when you have to split up when out on a case, like you go with the others to do an interview and he stays at the local precinct, and it’s just your little version of that classic routine
"-and Prentiss, you're with Morgan at the first scene. Everyone know where they're going?" Aaron glances up from the files in his hands at his teammates, all ready to head out to their respective vans.
"Let's do this," Rossi remarks, eyebrows raising as annoyance filters through his tone, "I can't wait to ask Alice's brother if the mystery man she left with last night was one of his friends."
"He's never seen that guy before," Derek teases, slapping Rossi flat-handed on the back as he trails after Prentiss, "Good luck with that, Y/L/N."
You send him a resentful smile, already slowing at the door while Dave speeds up to pass Aaron.
"Be safe," Hotch reminds you, leaning in to peck your lips with an overly-accentuated, workplace-acceptable pucker, "And if Dave tries to take an ice cream detour again, tell me."
"Promise," You grin, brain dizzy from your shared kiss, no matter how chaste it happened to be, "Love you, Aaron."
"Love you too." He sends you off with a smile, and it lingers as he bends over his desk to squint at names, so you know it's genuine.
"You ratted me out for our ice cream detour?" Rossi's hand on your shoulder breaks you out of your trance, squeezing tight and pushing you forwards, away from the door, "I paid for your cone!"
"Not my fault," You grin, standing tall in the elevator with the knowledge that you'll make Rossi sick to his stomach, "He could taste the strawberry on me."
