Penelope Garcia Was That A Jaws Reference. Come Here So I Can Kiss You On The Mouth.

penelope garcia was that a jaws reference. come here so i can kiss you on the mouth.

I'm surprised by the amount of people who think Reid is being serious here:

given the expressions immediately after:

where reid very clearly smiles and looks to see hotch's reaction (because he has daddy issues). and hotch almost looks like he's trying not to smile. or that he thinks the joke is bad. hard to tell

also, dowd says it himself:

you could maybe argue that reid didn't hear him say that because at the time he was laying in the hallway after getting hit in the head with the gun, but that doesn't really matter. it's not like this is a revelation.

also:

I doubt Hotch would have Reid hang on to his gun if he genuinely thought Reid had shot a man in the head while aiming for his leg, especially because aiming for his leg would have been a terrible idea in the first place.

request guidelines

do not be afraid. i am a reasonable person. probably. hopefully!

things i will not write:

general

first of all: none of this is a moral judgement on what other people write. tag your stuff appropriately and we'll get on great. everything is either in line with a personal headcanon or a personal discomfort.

adult/minor ships, even if one or more party's ages are changed to make the relationship legal.

incest

romanticized abuse

sex scenes with underage characters, even if they are aged up to be 18+

onscreen rape/"non-con"

reader-insert

a/b/o

oh also pregnancy. for some reason.

okay just to reiterate. none of the above is a judgement on what other people write or read. just things i, personally, don't want to write for one reason or another. no idea if this is something that needs to be stated—this may well be holdover from the fact that i joined tumblr in *shivers* 2017

atla

endgame zuko/any women (mai/zuko mutual beards to besties is delightful and welcome)

toph/any men

endgame azula/anyone (not because i hate her, but because i ship her with therapy. i specify endgame because i won't not write her in a relationship (esp partial to tyzula), the relationship just won't last.

zuko/sokka where sokka permanently relocates to the fire nation. most zukka i write, if i write it, will also involve sokka/suki because i adore them, but i won't not write monogamous zuko/sokka.

cm

unsub!bau (owie)

jj/reid

prentiss/any men (actually, prentiss/anyone except for me /j)

i know this is...very long. advice on cutting it down is welcome. i don't expect people to memorize this and i won't bite you if you slide into my asks asking me to write endgame mai/zuko—all of this is more so people who are looking for that kind of content know that i'm not where to look.

may or may not write:

smut and romance, for the simple reason that genfic is my shit and i'm not nearly as confident in my ability to write either or those. probably more likely to write f/f because i am a big ol' lesbian. if you do send a request for smut, i'll only fulfill it if a. your age is in your bio (incl. given as a range) and b. that age is over eighteen. i'm not your mother and i can't control what you read but i'm uncomfortable with fulfilling 18+ requests from anyone who isn't at least eighteen.

major character death. depends on how mean i'm feeling.

pleasepleasepleaseplease:

genfic

found family

mental health issues

angst

hurt/comfort

complicated relationships

expanding on what canon neglected. if that makes sense.

I love this scene a lot and it lives in my head rent-free. I can't really think of another way to interpret it other than that this is elle telling reid that the reason he can't get a date isn't because of something wrong with him that he needs to change but simply because he doesn't ask people out (or, more broadly, lacks confidence).

I have seen some spencelle shippers read this as elle saying "hey. ask me out" but i disagree, not because i don't ship spencelle (i sort of do, elaboration in the notes) but for the following reasons:

I think elle would have realised very early on that if she was going to wait for reid to ask her out, she would be waiting years

i don't think she gives enough of a fuck about gender roles to wait for The Man to ask her out

she generally seems confident

i lean more towards her being very new to the BAU in the early episodes. I don't recall right now if there's an official anti-fraternization policy or if that's a fanfiction trope, but even if there isn't, entering a relationship with a coworker that early on is an easy way to mess up her career.

i think she was waiting until she was more established to start anything, but then, well, everything happened, and she left before becoming established enough to feel comfortable taking a risk like that

a masterlist of everything i’ve written can be found here.

if my blog theme or blog in general is inaccessible to anyone—whether that be mobile users, people who use screen-readers, etc—please tell me. that is a thing i care about

I do take requests! send them as an ask and I make write a drabble or even full fic inspired by them. guidelines for what i will and will not write can be found here, but don't fret too much about them. i'm not going to bite your head off if you ask me to write something on the "no" list, the "guidelines" only exist so you know not to waste your time asking me for things i won't write when there are a lot of talented people out there who will.

i am autism. I’m visible in your children, but if I can help it—(/ref) anyway. i am autistic and that will show sometimes. i tend to be literal-minded. there is a non-zero chance i will misunderstand your ask and need clarification, i’m sorry if it winds up being inconvenient! i’m also. very blunt at times. i’m not mad, i just talk like this. i overcompensate for that too so i will jarringly flip between speaking very bluntly and formally and adding about five thousand emojis and exclamation marks to my words because i noticed i sounded blunt. enjoy!

there may or may not wind up being 18+ content on this blog. i’ll update this if that does happen. as of right now there is not, but in the event that there is it will be tagged as #nsfw and politely ask that any underage followers block that tag if they haven’t already.

please don’t ask me to talk about fandom drama unless i somehow wind up doing it first. i’m here to mash my blorbos together not get into arguments.

ill occasionally talk about things i dont like about the things i like. block #negative if you only want to see jokes and analysis

and finally, if you're interested in my mediocre gifs/icons, come shout at me at my editing sideblog

thought just struck me while watching this ep—I wonder if interacting with Dr. Landman made the team appreciate Reid more.

God, at least our genius doctor with an aversion to handshakes isn't Like That.
