Let’s talk about how important JJ is to the team, especially in earlier seasons

In the earlier seasons of Criminal Minds, every person has a role, Reid is the brains, Garcia is the tech genius, Morgan and Elle/Emily act as the tactical team and Hotch and Rossi/Gideon act as the leaders. Everybody talks about these roles but people don’t realise how important JJ really was

JJ acted as the communications liaison between the press and police and this role is extremely important. JJ was the reason the team heard any of the cases that they did, it was her who decided what they should and shouldn’t hear. She didn’t get to go on holidays (seen end of season 1) because she had to stay behind and keep looking at cases. She had to read hundreds of horrible cases, looking at the most horrific evidence and making the decision by herself as to which ones were the most important

She then had to control the press which is extremely difficult to do during any case because the press are like pariahs; they often don’t care about the moral implications as long as the story they are selling is successful. She had the job of controlling them so that they didn’t tamper with the case, on top of everything else she had to do

Then, she was in charge of telling the families that their loved ones didn’t make it; she took the brunt of any aggression and blame that they placed and had to keep her emotions completely in check whilst this happened

Finally, on top of all of this, she had to act as a field agent when needed

She did so much yet never actually got any credit from the fans for what it is that she did. If you want to be reminded about how hard her job is, season 4 episode 7 onwards gives you a good reminder

i saw something on tiktok where the criminal minds account commented something about the actors knowing about the fandom.. god save us all matthew grey gubler we are very sorry

i like my men a lil unstable though

Today I'm thinking about the biphobia surrounding Laurent in the fandom. "They say he's bisexual but then made him be with a woman!!" Like....yah...do you not know what a bisexual is. "This is queerbating!!!!" He is canonly bisexual every episode...every second....The fact that he is a canon bi character in anime is such a big deal already but then you whine that he's not with a man like 🤌 They aren't even gay coding he's literally bisexual in canon. Can't you see how amazing that is? You cannot see Laurent and say he's straight because he quite literally is not and that's a fact. Laurents whole character is barstard bi man. Hold back me and my bi rage
