Outdoors during the day, JJ, a blonde woman wearing a black jacket over a blue button-up speaks to Emily, a dark-haired woman wearing a dark jacket over a white shirt. White subtitles at the top of the image read: "Last year in Denver, a woman was being harassed by her ex-boyfriend."
JJ speaks firmly, then smiles and shakes her head, although the smile isn't one of happiness. White subtitles at the top of the image read: "Cops knew who he was, but they couldn't arrest him. We didn't take that case."
Emily nods, JJ speaks, and Emily nods again, frowning and keeping her head and eyes down. White subtitle at the top fo the image read: "She was finally granted a restraining order three days after he threw acid in her face."
JJ speaks, squeezing her eyes shut briefly before opening them again. White subtitles at the top of the image read: "Right now, I don't care about limited resources. I cannot make that same mistake again."
Emily pauses, nods, and walks off. JJ's eyes widen briefly and a muscle in her neck jumps before she follows.

I really love lines like these that show just how difficult JJ's job would be and I wish it was more thoroughly explored (maybe it is at some point. i don't know). She probably has dozens of stories like this; not even just ones where she feels like she made the wrong choice, but how many instances were there were JJ chose one case over another and it led to tragedy in the one (or multiple) she passed over? At what point does she stop feeling comforted by the knowledge that making a different choice just would have led to a different tragedy? How long until she feels less like she's weighing the danger and urgency of the various cases she's presented and more like she's weighing the value of peoples' lives?

SEASON SEVEN SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT

I think I'll come back to this once I get to profiler!JJ. I don't know whether or not she continues to select cases (I'm okay with spoilers regarding that), but I am honestly kind of dreading that arc. I just can't see myself finding "JJ switches jobs to become one of six profilers instead of the only media liason" interesting—maybe my opinions will change, maybe it's unfair to have an opinion on an arc before I get to it, but. That's how I feel. If she's no longer selecting cases once she becomes a profiler, though, there could be something interesting there. Kind of similar to Hotch's line in 1x13:

"You know, I had prosecuted dozens of murder cases, and by the time they reached my desk it always felt like it was too late. And I wanted to stop them before they got to my desk."

Maybe JJ can no longer handle choosing who to save, and decides to take a more active role in the saving. Or maybe I'm talking blindly about an arc I haven't seen. Who knows.

i don't want to start a new wip...but the parasites in me want to start a new wip

Tuesday, 29 April 2009
Quantico, Virginia

Choosing a case was always a difficult task—understandably so. JJ figured that the day selecting a plea for help to respond to out of the half dozen she had on hand became an easy job would be the day she needed to look for a new career. There were times when it was easier, certainly—child abductions, being the time sensitive affairs they were, nearly always took precedent—but it was by and large a task difficult enough to feel just about insurmountable.

But the murders of Charles Luvet, Daniel Brown, and Paul Hayes leapt out at her. (She knew why. The guilty knowledge sat in her gut like a stone.)

Charles Luvet — Detective — NOPD.

It was impossible not to read that and think of—of him. He’d been on her mind a lot. Well, of course he had; she was dating him.

That’s not why, and you know it. 

She stuffed the traitorous thought where it belonged, tucked the case file under her arm, and walked out into the bullpen to ruin the team’s evening plans. Well, Derek’s evening plans. Nobody else would have plans on a Tuesday night.

this is really not good im sorry. first draft intro that i cranked out in like twenty minutes </3 but it's on the page

i have all the feelings about the hugs at the end of revelations as everyone else does but i have especially big feelings about the fact that. yeah theyre hugs. but theyre also physically holding him upright. if you watch while him and jj are hugging, jj even seems to buckle a little. i need to lay down for several hours

thinking about what it must have been like for jj and her family after her sister's suicide. living in a small town (a population of 2136 in 2010) where everyone knows everyone. possibly quite religious. the way everyone would look at them. the way everyone would look at her. the way she can never go back, because they'll always look at her like that. and maybe that's why she keeps it a secret from the team for so long—she spent so much time with everybody knowing, once she's somewhere else, she wants nobody to know.
