Nikto on the rocks





here's the jordan analysis i promised. it got really long so it's under a cut </3 also to any jordan fans jsyk this is more a meta analysis of the role she serves rather than an in-universe analysis of her character, so. no major character insights if that's what you're hoping for.
as i've said before, i also don't understand the vitriol i've seen directed towards her when she was in eight episodes and occasionally mildly annoying at worst. i think most of the people who hate her do because she was a. being shipteased with morgan b. (temporarily) replacing jj and c. a woman of colour who breathed. i don't love her, although i do think her and emily should have fuβ uh. who said that? anyway:
what i do really like is the narrative role she serves during her episodes, and especially during this one. with any long-running show with dark themes, there's always a risk of the audience becoming desensitizedβa guarantee, even, if it goes on long enough. i think a lot of these shows (including cm, on occasion) fall into this trap where they think the solution to that is to constantly escalate, which i think is a huge mistake. you'll desensitize the audience faster when you're just showing them increasingly awful things; at a certain point you'll even bore them. also, it will inevitably become extremely unrealistic, and you'll start to sensationalize if you aren't already.
i think jordan's introduction was a really fantastic early effort to prevent the audience from becoming desensitized. we're following a cast of characters who have all been embroiled in awful things for years or decades. it's their job and it has been for a long time. the characters are already varying degrees of desensitized and they're the ones we're identifying with as the protagonists.
and then jordan. right away she's out of her depth and overwhelmed, and in this episode, she says outright that she can't do the job. i think it was also a great choice that the case in the episode isn't a particularly horrifying one (obviously they all are and the revelation at the end of this episode is really tragic, but jordan saying "im out" after this case reads very different than if it had been after something like no way out where it's clearly among their worst cases).
she's a reminder to the audience that the people we're watching are not normal. no normal person could do the job they do. the vast majority of the audience, if transplanted into the show, wouldn't be reid or emily or morgan or hotchβthey would be jordan.

I have stretch marks.
Reblog if you do too. Just to prove that it is more normal than what people actually think.
Yes I like my own posts.
I like myself so I'm allowed to do that >:/
( no one called me out on liking my own posts, but I'm thinking ahead of time when Mr. Sherlock comes along and decides to call me out on it! )
Tan normal y tan rara a la vez la vida que vivimos.

I personally think Normal has the makings of a good child therapist when he grows up. But Im curious what do other members of the Dungeons and Daddies community think?

The idea of Normal adopting a homunculus child imbued with the soul of the Doodler has been living rent free in my head since listening to S2: episode 23. However, it occurred to me the Doodler is massive, surely itβs entire essence wouldnβt fit in a single homunculi. Another one!
