And I Am Defying God By Having An Unhealthy Amount Of Soul Crushing Thoughts About An Old Man's Psyche - Tumblr Posts

hello everyone! im going to make your day worse on purpose.

i think rossi's initial environment when facing grief ABSOLUTELY plays a part into how he deals with it.

most of the grief we've seen him go through can barely be called grief. because he doesn't grieve. he doesn't ALLOW himself to. he's at work, he's busy, he's always got something occupying his thoughts. hell, the first (and maybe the ONLY) time we really see him actively sob is when carolynn died, and i'm 99% sure he comes back into work the next day😭. i know hotch says "you don't have to be here.", but he sorta does ! he does this repression-thing until the grieving window fades out. it never fully goes away, though!

... and for krystall, he was retired and happy! he was at HOME. KRYSTALL was the thing that he focused on, not the job. he's always needed something to fill his day. and when krystall was ripped away? he scrambled to get back into the rhythm of work, but ended up burying himself in it.

he isn't letting himself grieve here, either! it's even more unstable.

and!...

and my other running theory actually sort of ties in with this character analysis.!

..................

do you think. the negative effects of not properly grieving... *counts on fingers* like 4 or 5 personal deaths, in the past decade or so....... just slam into him like an actual train, with krystall's death❤️?

yes, he lost the woman he was ready to spend the rest of his life with and fate has essentially resigned him to dying alone- but God!!!??? you're telling me that man DOESN'T think he's pretty much cursed with all the funerals he's attended?? that every relationship he has, platonic or not, is probably gonna end horribly? "is this how it's gonna go? all my friends dying off?"???????????

you think that david rossi DOESN'T keep track of how old his son would be each year on his birth (and death) date???

you believe that he DOESN'T fear almost every single day that someone else he loves will die, someone far younger and with much more life to live?? and since the only family he probably has LEFT is the team, it'll be one of them?🤨🤨🤨

...

okay my rant is over <3! idk what the original idea was behind this post but i had to get the demons out or something
