I'm trying to prove something.
there are quite a few hotchniss episodes that prove my theory of them being soulmates but my favorite will always be 3x02 because that’s the one episode where everything Shifted between them: emily preferred to literally resign from her dream job rather than become strauss’ birdie and snitch on hotch (this despite hotch being a bit awful to her since her joining the team) and hotch 1. realized he had always been wrong about this little smartass charming brat, 2. had the worst fight with his wife, 3. right after, went straight to emily’s to convince her to join him for one more case, 4. said ‘I WANT YOU ON THAT PLANE WITH ME’ to emily, 5. most likely flew commercial with her bouncing off ideas re the case and strauss’ trashy strategy to get rid of both of them, 6. defended her and her idea to get into david smith’s house and 7. swore that her return to the bau would stay official even if his wouldn’t be. AND THEN, we see parallel shots of them at their respective house/apartment looking off into the distance, satisfied about being back but sad about their ill perceived loneliness.
in this other essay i will-
Alright so Hotchniss shippers…. I was not on board i simply decided to dip my toes in and see how the waters felt… well i just watched the season 7 finale and that water felt so good i decided to dive on in. He notices her tell and offers a listening ear and this queen says “its a date” jump to the dance floor scene and I am convinced that our sexy king was willing to risk it all when he danced with Emily, she was weighing her thoughts cause…. Just… look. At. This. Scene.
He has hardly smiled that wide often and soon after that he then went to contemplate his choices…..
And then I cant believe I completely forgot about this line!
In season 6 ugh and he also lost his shit when she was being beaten on in season 4 Hotch is LITERALLY PANICKING willing to jump in at a moments notice yall can literally scold me for not realizing 🤣🤣
love the ideia of wednesday choosing the film for movie night and is the most slash gore terror you could ever imagine enid threw up ajax is trying to keep strong bianca took off yoko is bored and then there's wednesday who's eyes are shining and smirking all the time with tyler on her side sleeping heavily because he knows blood doesn't do that when you dismembered someone
[In the men's groupchat]
Josh: So guys I've been thinking...
Christian: Careful, you might pull a muscle.
*Josh removes Christian from the groupchat*
Josh: So guys I've been thinking...
Sometime in S2 of Wednesday.
Wednesday to Tyler: Why should I believe anything you say?
Tyler: Your right you shouldn't, but Wednesday for the record that night of the rave'n I meant what I said.
Wednesday: that you did a bad thing and your not a terrible person?
Tyler: That and the fact that you really did look beautiful.
Me: 😭😭😭😭
Thanks, Doc.
I'm not sure but I just realized...maybe...
-Since Wednesday’s visions were based off of her personality spectrum, she still had a little doubt about Tyler, (we all know she’s a skeptical person) but not in a way that she’s suspicious he’s a bad person (or maybe our girl really was doubting hard that's why she saw it idk) That’s why she saw it in her vision, but still taken-aback by what she saw. (refers to the kiss at Weathervane, him being the Hyde)
(It’s a wonder why Wednesday didn’t have any bad visions about Tyler on the first episodes, probably because she trusted him, until she had a little suspicion or reassessment about him, since she was thinking of giving their relationship or him a chance to be more than friends.)
hear the lines? when Tyler said about Xavier "pretty nuts, like he always seem so normal for an outcast."
then Wednesday continues with "It has made me reevaluate things." this is just me taking a wild guess but what if Wednesday doesn't really believe that Xavier is the Hyde or the bad guy in this situation, but since all the evidence points to him, she has no other way of proving that it isn't really him.
Then she goes "Like who I can trust." when he asks, evaluate like what things bbygurl?
Maybe Tyler thought that he's off her radar since Xavier is literally in jail, (poor boy, bless his paints) so he assumed that Wednesday is there to discuss being more than friends, or hang out whatever. Then, she steps forward and initiate a kiss. Then voila, moments after, she has a vision that he's the Hyde (killing his therapist specifically, I also wonder why of all he has killed, why did Wednesday see that scene in particular?)
What really kills me though is Tyler's constant bugging Wednesday to be closer to her or in a certain proximity, (since her visions are mostly triggered with touch or when the person or a related thing is near her) maybeee hoping that she'll have a vision that he's indeed the Hyde, and help him before its too late or just to have someone understand his situation. And Wednesday here in this scene is doubting him and maybe hoping that he wasn't the Hyde because she's already attached or have feelings for him, even though it doesn't sit right to her that she presumably captured the wrong guy.
(never getting over this scene btw)
here's a meme of Xavier for comedic effect, thanks for reading through my insanity if you made it this far, there's probably more in the future (meme not mine)
