Hey, Tag This With A Food People Get Really Upset About You Not Liking

hey, tag this with a food people get really upset about you not liking

thinking about morgan's relationship with trust vs love. because yes, hotch is right in 2x23 when he says "there are very few people he truly trusts". but the thing that Gets Me about morgan in a way other characters with trust issues don't is that he trusts so slowly but loves so quickly.

he extends insane levels of compassion to strangers. the one that really sticks out to me is when he holds dr. brazier's hand in 2x08. if you need a refresher and don't feel like checking out the linked post: there is a bomb under her car seat that will go off if she gets up or moves wrong, and he crouches by the car holding her hand despite hotch ordering him to back up. importantly, despite having been on the bomb squad and having experience, morgan is not the one disarming the bomb. he has literally no reason to be there. hotch is telling him to leave and he's refusing. he's not risking life and limb to disarm a bomb, he's risking life and limb to hold a frightened woman's hand while she prays. a woman he met about five seconds ago; i really just want to emphasize that morgan isn't doing this because it's his job. hell, he's defying orders. this isn't agent morgan doing a job, this is derek morgan being a person.

derek morgan would die and kill for someone before he trusted them to have his back. im going to be sick.

what, you don’t read the reports?

i love you dr spencer reid and your strange, exaggerated facial expressions common in autism spectrum disorder

ive had this thought rattling around in my brain for a thousand years but i wanted to wait until i got to diana's introduction to share it. do you ever think about how reid's life would have changed if he'd had any siblings? particularly younger ones?

how it would have changed the kind of person he became, how much worse the parentification would have been. how much more of a scumbag it would have made his father. if he had custody or if he lost them to the system or to family he barely knew (whenever i think about this sort of au i always think of the first, maybe because the latter two are just Too Real). do you ever think about it. i do.

AND THEN HE KISSES HER GOODNIGHT AND THE EPISODE ENDS AND GARCIA IS HAPPY FOREVER!!!!
