Hi Im Doing An Experiment Rb W Ur Zodiac Sign Element (water/fire/earth/air) And Whether The Physical

I can definitely see myself as a mixture of both Hotch and Garcia! As a curvy blonde, I look a little like Garcia, but as a shy/introverted person who takes a while to warm up to/trust people and definitely likes to draw a line between being friends and professionalism at work ( as a nanny, the parents are always Mr and Mrs X, never first names and always the formal you form, even if they say I can use either/both and no matter how well I get on with them/like them! I also adore ( musical) theatre, cooking/baking and am good with kids. My main love languages ( that I display for others) are touch, words of affirmation and gifts, so again, a great blend of my two favourite characters in the show!

🌺  and cast your mutuals as (i have always wanted to do this)

for criminal minds ships?

🌺 and cast your mutuals as (i have always wanted to do this)

I was honestly wishing for someone to send this because I had it all planned it, and I just really wanted someone to ask! Each person has been cast as the ship, because in my opinion, if they had a child, it would be this person :)

I also do not ship every single one of these...

@whump-town as Hotchniss (obviously)

@olivinesea as Jelle (that is a compliment by the way)

@electricsockhead as Moreid (I mean... would you be anyone else?)

@ellyhotchner as Hotch/Beth (my babies deserved a child together, that kid would've been GREAT!)

@willlemonheadsupremacy as Willifer (one of my many faves!)

@anastasiahotchner as Maeve/Reid (smart, books, you know, it fits!)

@bus-kids as Spemily (but like, Reid is just the sperm donor they're not romantically involved!!!)

@lumosemily as Morcia (positivity!! sticking up for the people you love!!)

@hotchgan as Mortch (obviously)

@temily as Temily (obviously)

@infinite-tides as Hotchley (who also deserved a daughter and better)

@kamiamaya as Hotch/Rossi (once again, also obviously)

@transpenelope as Hotch/Madam Bouvier (chaos)

@louisaland as Gotch (perfect blend of positivity and love and don't you dare mess with the people I care about)

That's all the ones I can think of that match somebody...

i'm hosting a first anniversary sleepover!

Hotch and the Hotchlings, in themetaphorgirl’s criminal minds boarding school au ( PSOLC)

Finally, a good shot of Stabler's desk and as suspected, it is his personal family images on the desk with Chris' wife Sherman and kids Sophia and Dante.

Also, looks like a picture from a magazine of Meloni & Hargitay going in for a kiss while filming, like they mess about and do often. lol!

Criminal Minds Season 13

The “Wheels up!” scene made me cringe so badly. Fair enough, it was the phrase that got Prentiss through her traumatic experience, but to make everyone else say it was just silly!  Other than that, I am quite enjoying the cases themselves and the interaction between team members is good. Morgan coming back briefly was great, his scenes with Penelope made me cry, but it also made me wish Hotch had been able to come back too. 

Kathleen is definitely not Daddy’s girl from Seasons 6-10, as she gets into lots of trouble and arguments with her dad, because of her undiagnosed bi-polar.

I think we see enough of Elliot as a pretty good dad in the early Seasons. In Season 1, we see him take Dickie to the park and make him fly across the monkey bars ( the episode with the falsely-accused paedophile) he reads Twas The Night before Christmas to the twins in Nocturne (and they climb all over him, giving him hugs and kisses), in Wanderlust, he does Lizzie’s hair ( so probably did Kathleen’s and Maureen’s too), then he kisses them all goodbye and tells them he loves them when he is called into work, he plays soccer with Kathleen, he apologises to Maureen when he comes down too hard on her in Sophomore Jinx and Chat Room… He and Maureen butt heads a little in later Seasons, but they have quite a sweet, teasing relationship based on what we see in the Season 2 premiere. His relationship with Dickie is very warm and affectionate until Turmoil in Season 11. Dickie plays a game with him in S5 Home, accuses his dad of cheating and he playfully growls at him, chases him and catches him which shows how playful their relationship is, Dickie spends a few days with him in S6 Game, and in S 10, Lunacy, their closeness is very nicely portrayed too. In S 6, Contagious, they all come to the precinct to celebrate their dad’s birthday, he gives them all hugs and kisses. There’s an episode in S6 where Dickie has appendicitis and Elliot stays with him the whole time ( he knows his son ate lots of ice cream and watched Jackass on repeat, so must have been there to witness it) which also shows his dedication and love for his son. I wish we’d seen and heard more of Lizzie, there was certainly potential there. Maybe an episode with her theatre teacher being accused of having a relationship with another student, her dad investigates and thinks the guy is guilty, but Lizzie thinks he is innocent, so they disagree over that. Or she fake dates a gay guy on the cast as his parents are homophobic and he can’t come out to them but has to her, Elliot can tell there is something not quite right about the relationship and fears the guy is pressuring her/abusing her in some way…

I like how Elliot has very different relationships with all his children, but I always felt the show did a good job showing that he loved them and they loved him.

Did Elliot work when he was in Italy with Kathy and Eli? He expresses that he’d love to be a stay at home dad in at least one episode, so I thought Kathy would work in Rome and he would do the childcare/house chores/school pick-up/take Eli to playdates, the park and his activities… We know he did the day shift with Maureen when she was a baby/toddler , and studied/worked at night, while Kathy had a day job and then did the night shift. So Elliot did grocery runs, park trips, playgroups, stories, meals etc with Maureen, so had lots of time with her, which probably made them extremely close. I definitely had her down as a Daddy’s girl when she was younger, as in S1, she’s pushing him away/off his pedestal a bit. There are entire Seasons with no mentions or appearances from the kids ( notably 4 and 7), which I always thought was a shame. Maybe the kids thought it would have be3n better/easier if their dad died, but I can’t imagine any of them actually saying that to his face. I think they are more worried about losing him after Kathy dies, to be honest, especially Eli.

it’s almost a pity that the shows favour kathleen (daddy’s girl) and eli (got the good childhood) when it comes to elliot’s kids cause in any other universe oc s1 would have had a scene where one of the other three tell elliot point blank that they wish he’d died in place of kathy. and they’d be right.

I have been able to purchase Season 16, on Apple TV, but, unfortunately, it is in French, even though the episode summaries are in English.

I am not really a big fan of the dubbing, but I can just about live with it.

So far, I don’t really know any of the characters except for Fin and Olivia, and we don’t get much info about them/their home lives, though stuff is implied through characters’ looks or reactions when talking to suspects or victims.

Amaro is a major hothead, but doesn’t seem to have any particular trigger. At least he’s working on controlling it, unlike Stabler. He reminds me a bit of Chester Lake, who was just kind of there sometimes and I didn’t miss him if he wasn’t!

Amanda seems like she’s very unassuming/submissive, but is as tough as old boots. In the ep with the young incel guy she was incredibly brave and tough, and I loved her description of good guys who are kind, gentle and hold doors open for ladies- was she thinking of Carisi? I like to think so.

I have gathered that she is from a small, gossipy city and doesn’t have a great relationship with her mother or men in general. It seems like something happened with her and Amaro, which I cannot see as being healthy or happy at all! 

Carisi I adore! He’s good at listening quietly, observing and taking everything in when he needs to, and heeds warnings/instructions well too. However, he can take initiative when he needs to. He’s always watching his colleagues and the victims, absorbing info and silently taking everything in. I love how he brings food to the team and is full of surprises ( goat’s cheese and sundried tomato rather than pepperoni, but that shows how considerate he is, as there may be vegetarians on the team, so he got something that they can eat too). Was not loving the moustache, so glad that disappeared pretty quickly. I also love that he knows celeb gossip/the latest trends/fashion/music which shows he listens to and spends time with his niece. 

Peter Gallagher in what I assume was Ed Tucker’s role makes Ed look like a declawed kitten. He’s very tough and demanding, but it seems to be pushing Olivia towards being Captain, which is a good thing.

Barba I find a bit cold and slightly shark like. He’s very much a straight to the point/direct kind of guy who is all business and nothing else. He also really doesn’t like to lose! Makes for a great lawyer, but not a very interesting character. He’s no Casey Novak, that’s for sure! 

I hope all the William Lewis stuff is done and dusted as I do not see myself coping well with that storyline at all! 

Great to see Liv being a mum to Noah, but it really makes me miss Stabler! If he’d been there, I’m sure he would have given her loads of Eli’s old clothes/toys/paraphernalia as well as advice. I’m sure he’d have volunteered to call Noah if he’s crying, but hopefully Carisi ( does anyone ever call him Sonny apart from his family?) can step up and be the Baby Whisperer ™ if Olivia needs that.

The episodes are quite interesting, nothing with a big twist or a super big name yet, but am looking forward to seeing what episode 6 and beyond have in store. 

sorry to advice you to lower drastically your expectation for now on 'cause season 24-25 (and current 2) new showrunner sucks royally, can't write svu storylines nor he's able to write/develop new characters', quality is going down especially after ep9 :/

I know we get a Carisi-Rollins wedding, so there’s that to look forward to. Your Honour, I love them! Shame the character development/creation and plotlines decline after early Season 24. I have also been watching OC, which had a pretty dreadful third Season, so as long as it’s not as bad as that, I’ll live. Thanks for the heads up though!

Her character is one of the reasons I got so into Criminal Minds! In a lesser show, she’d have been the dumb, blonde secretary and her role would be played by a stereotypical nerdy guy! As a short, curvy blonde who is very empathetic, I was so happy to see her on screen!

I am in love with Penelope Garcia. Obviously.

As a plus size woman, i love having plus size representation in the media. It’s really hard to find.

Most of the time, if there’s a plus size character at all, their only character trait is that they’re big. They’re always pictured eating and talking about how much they love eating.

I love Penelope Garcia because I want representation.

Because Hollywood is unfair to people who wear anything bigger than a size 2.

Because Penelope has a successful career.

Because Penelope built healthy relationships, platonic and romantic.

Because Penelope wasn’t held back by being big.

Because Penelope isn’t just fat.

She’s a person.

Because Penelope is beautiful and funny and sweet and has amazing characterization!!

Bless the Criminal Minds writers and casting agents, and bless Kirsten Vangsness for the amazing character that she embodied and gave to people like me to look up to.

The Gotch friendship in Route 66. Hotch’s tendency to suffer alone and Penelope’s insistence on helping everybody and how much she cares for him. We deserved more of him leaning on the team, but the way this dynamic could’ve been utilized so much more makes me angry.

Route 66 is a great episode and I love the softness of the bright bundle of joy that is Penelope Garcia dealing with her stubborn as a mule boss. I would kill for more demonstrations of the unique types of trust he was in each of them.

Even more, I'd love for some more of the soft way the two of them function to effortlessly together
