for the bau groupchat: maybe the team notices that aaron is in kind of a bad mood (like he’s frowning even harder if that’s possible 😭) and it’s because yn forgot to kiss him goodbye before leaving (imagine she left before him)

In the bau gc:

Penelope: SHARKS DON'T HAVE BONES??

Y/n: No, they have cartilage skeletons.

Emily: "I'm gonna send this to the gc watch y/n be like "oh you didn't know that already?"- Pen

Penelope: not in a bad way! I just knew you'd know.

"Yeah of course you can copy my homework, just don't make it too obvious"

imagining reid, prentiss, and rossi all getting drunk at a team dinner and screaming at each other in italian and then prentiss and reid shit talking rossi in french or russian or something and rossi yelling even louder in italian while the rest of the team is attempting to piece together what started this in the first place, quietly sipping on their wine and enjoying the dinner theatre

(reid tells jj and morgan that emily started it by joking about rossi's cooking, emily tells hotch that rossi started it by making fun of reid's hair, and rossi tells garcia that reid started it because "he looked at me funny." emily will later attest to only making a joke about rossi's cooking after he joked about reid's hair because "gotta have a brotha's back," immediately taking this statement back when she finds out he said she started it and later smothers him with a couch cushion for having the audacity to lie. it takes morgan and hotch to get her to back down and she is forced to sit on the floor the rest of the evening)

Rossi: Why are you so angry?

Hotch: Aaaggg. Cause I'm feeling this thing called love again, *He turns to see Emily.* and it's your fault.

Prentiss: How the hell is this my fault?

Hotch: If you hadn't arrived with your beautiful smile, your pretty eyes, your pretty face and your stubborn perseverance, I wouldn't be in this problem.

Spencer: Emily why did you make Hotch fall in love with you?

Prentiss and Rossi: ....

Rossi: Son, we need to talk

I love this lil Maeve hate community we have got going lol. Doesn't it feel a little like they tried too hard to make here into the PERFECT girl for him? Like she's a genius too, and loves Arhur Conan Doyle and blah blah blah by doing that they made her too damn boring. Barmaid girl Austin forever, we deserved to see an arc with her - more chemistry and fire in the like 4 minutes of screen time they had together than Spencer and Maeve. Also idk if it's because they seem to fling between Reid being sassy dude to a little meek at times but Maeve came off almost weirdly older than him? Like the vibes just felt very mature with her, I can't really articulate it well

the Maeve hate group reuniting here to talk trash.

THE "he had more chemestry with Austin in 4 minutes than with Maeve in the whole arc" PART IS SO TRUE.

BRING ME AUSTIN BACK. Their little magic trick dynamic was so sweeeeeettttttttt--

And yes THANK YOU MAEVE FEEL OLDER THAN HIM AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY. More into a mother scolding a child way and not in a hot milf way.

She's boring we don't want her here. Free my boi 🤺

So big no no.

They are the reason why they don’t want scientists to become criminals.

Additional facts about them:

-Roscoe is bossy asf. He can lead but it’s a little annoying sometimes, but he always keeps everyone as „safe“ as possible.

-Norna isn’t, as her name suggests, white. She has also no idea why she is doing this.

-Anthony has a hearing aid because he‘s blown a lot of stuff up. Also he’s one long man.

-Ed is a con artist and well, really good at acting. I got his surname from a Chihuahua for some reason.

-Anthony and Ed bicker a lot but I am fully convinced they will kiss someday. Or at least eat up eachothers faces.

-Maura is the voice of reason because not everyone can be a slightly crazed scientist. She is good at keeping a clear head.

-Cecil is the terrible combo of introverted and overeducated rich kid. He’s not really part of the group but actually the person whose memories they’re trying to obtain… yikes.

As adults you don't notice it as much, but some of the age differences at the team always throws me on a loop- what do you mean Emily was a 6th grader when Spencer was born?? 💀 it's kind of funny.

bau group chat - girlies edition 🤭💞 (aaron hotchner x reader)

Hey y'all!

Chapter 10 of A Mind Of His Own is up! Hal and Billy learn a bit more about who is behind all these attacks, featuring John Stewart and Guy Gardner!

me, most of the time: ah, criminal minds, a show i watch for background noise and so know very little about the writer’s room or who’s actually behind it.

criminal minds: pointedly makes a character speak up for libertarians and make them seem like people who just don’t like to follow the rules with nothing else at all notorious or bad about them whatsoever

criminal minds: this crime LOOKS like a hate crime bc it’s black girls being killed. but it was actually done by a black man. makes u think. 

criminal minds: men will just follow a woman anywhere. that’s plain science.

criminal minds: yeah conversion therapy is wrong but only if they’re using torture tactics.

criminal minds: unironically has morgan use words like “my honeys” and “groove thang” to prove he’s the “cool” one

me: oh. this really was written by straight middle-aged white men huh.

so I came across some criminal minds edits and my professor looks exactly like this picture of Spencer Ried (except a bit older)

I swear I've seen him in this exact outfit before with the sunglasses and the coffee

new to watching criminal minds, but can we talk about that one scene in s1 e2 when the building with the teacher goes up in flames? cause like everyone else in the group was showing up to the scene looking normal, and then spencer shows up 1) wearing these glasses that make him look utterly adorable, and 2) completely fascinated by the fire while everyone else is slightly concerned.
