I Think This Might Be The First Mention Of Reid Graduating Highschool At Twelve? Because This Line Is

i think this might be the first mention of reid graduating highschool at twelve? because this line is clearly said for the audience, im sure gideon knows this. im a little surprised it's this late in the season honestly

also. i am Clinging to parker dunley in the hopes that there was One Person in reid's high school who didn't treat him awfully. i got the sense from this scene that they weren't friends (reid seems awkward hugging him, but to be fair he's always awkward) and parker's reaction to seeing him ("look at you! nothing's changed!") to me implies he hasn't seen him since he graduated. but like. acquaintances perhaps. a person who treated him like a human being perhaps. thank u parker dunley for being implied to be a normal person. what was going on with the rest of your school.

cant take this man anywhere he'll say shit like "betwixt" in casual conversation

on a more serious note. this can very much be an autism thing. here are a couple bits from my psychological report when i was diagnosed with autism myself featuring my not great censoring skills:

(not saying "reid speaks very formally, ergo he's autistic" but "reid displays a lot of autistic traits and speaks very formally, and so that might also be an autistic trait in him")

what if. elle/morgan/reid. i mean a full triangle. elle/morgan morgan/reid elle/reid. maybe some elle/jj in there too because that's a bisexual woman if ive ever seen one and i want more elle/jj. do you see the vision. do i need to draw a chart. is there anyone else in my head or am i alone in my battle. been thinking about this post a lot.

is clooney ever brought up again or do they forget he exists. i dont think hes ever shown because nobody can agree on what breed he is? i think morgan would want something really trainable with little to no separation anxiety and clooney looks like a bigger dog but i have no idea what dogs fit that description.

okay look i know why elle says "male and female, right?" (elle is jokingly making sure there will be men there as well) and why morgan says "young, beautiful adults" rather than "young, beautiful women" (because he's talking about elle, who likes men, as well as himself, who likes women) but canon is what i make it and im deciding they are bisexual. end post.

actually garcia that's the one part of reid's childhood that needs zero therapy ! all the other bits though. well.
