Hotch + The Coat With The Red Lining

hotch + the coat with the red lining

I couldn't get this scene out of my head after reading the book!

Local Sheriff: Listen here, pretty boy-

Rossi: Why is ‘pretty boy’ even considered an insult?

Sheriff: It's–

Rossi: Call me a pretty boy again.

Sheriff:

Rossi: I want to be the prettiest boy you’ve ever seen.

cannot get over how fiddleford got into a fight w emma-may bc he didn't get her a Christmas present, meanwhile, he gave Stanford a custom snowglobe and custom six lingered gloves........

Now that they've run out of Dave's ex-wives to bring back and have him fall in love with, they're bringing back Gideon's ex-wife?

i have not made a post in so long...

but i have. So Many Thoughts. about the new episode. have i watched the new season much at all?? absolutely not. i will! i haven't gotten to it yet.

the only thing i've watched is the most recent episode, and even then i was kinda just. Skimming through it. and oh my god

CME 17X8 SPOILERS

1. THE KISS. THE KISS?! OH MY GOD??!!!

> that was the sloppiest messiest thing i ever seen dear Lord. oh my god. somebody needs to kiss him like that more. but also Please Don't i think he would have a heart attack

> it was a diversion! it was a tactic to MAKE dave uncomfortable, to make him leave, to keep him safe, and it definitely worked, but😭 lorrrdddddd!!! that was insane.

> David. David Stephen Rossi. do NOT misinterpret that kiss. do NOT think it was more than it was (it probably IS gonna be some silly relationship plot but GAH)

2. the gideon slander... the ooc-ness of it all..

> “Why didn't you come to the funeral?” “I couldn't look at, uh...” “It was a closed casket. He was Jewish.” “No. I couldn't look.. at you.” first of all. the closed casket, he was jewish comment made me snort and idk why. "i couldnt look at uh" "dave he was jewish??". second of all??? i would put my LIFE on the fact that david rossi was at that funeral. I MADE A WHOLE TUMBLR RANT (that nobody but me is insane about) ABOUT IT. even if david rossi wasn't at the funeral, he absolutely wrote the obituary, he helped fund the casket, he did SOMETHING. best friend's wife be damned, jason gideon was his soulmate

> THEY MENTIONED MALLICK. THEY MENTIONED MALLICK. “W- We can't blame ourselves for things other people do. I learned that with...” “With who?” “With Donnie Mallick, the guy who killed Jason.” ... AND THE FACT THAT IT'S CONFIRMED THAT JILL BLAMED ROSSI FOR JASON'S DEATH... *starts shaking*. she blamed him because rossi left the job, so gideon obviously wouldn't, and gideon's obsession got him killed (??? bad reasoning ma’am but go off i guess). are we not gonna mention the fact rossi killed mallick in cold blood or is that just kind of assumed. hello. *taps mic* is this thing on-

> JASON GIDEON IS SO BAD-HUSBAND CODED IN THIS? they're acting like he was borderline abusive, am i insane for getting that vibe😭??. "yeah gideon wasn't the easiest to be around whenever he got obsessed. so me and jill would lean on each other for support" Huh? 🤨 same with jill saying "i'd much rather remember him singing and cooking, than.." ... Arguments? :( c'mon guys... listen both rossi and gideon would be absolutely insufferable to marry, and jason gideon was so emotionally constipated and autistic-coded that i don't DOUBT they got into arguments. jason gideon is definitely not perfect. but Jill-Leaning-On-Dave-For-Support level arguments?

> rossi fully verbally admitted "yeah i thought i would be better for jill than jason and thats why i stepped away from the BSU" ... youre telling me WORK-OBSESSED DAVID ROSSI left his job... BECAUSE HE COULDN'T STOP THE URGE TO HOMEWRECK?

3. misc thoughts

> there was some kind of bird pillow between them during the kiss. when i find that pillow it's over for y'all. symbolism or something

> get dave new reading glasses. please god they look silly /affectionate. please dave get some wire frames. please

> rossi has a photo of himself and kai oh my god. thats so important to me (my name is kai and im projecting? or im just glad they didn't forget about him entirely yet)

> rossi also has a screencap of gideon from s1. as a photo. i dont know. Why. and im not gonna question it.

final thoughts!

david rossi is addicted to his job and no relationship will ever satisfy him. and so the writers keep giving him fleeting love interests only to kill them off / completely forget about them. thank you for your time ❤️
