That one scene in 10x5 where Hotch goes to get the Darth Vadar helmet for Jack from Garcia’s friend and Garcia’s friend (Madam Bouvier) hitting on Hotch always makes me cackle. Madam Bouvier calling Hotch “child” and the “mmhm G-man”, Hotch’s nervousness and blushing when he realizes Madam Bouvier’s intentions. That whole scene was 👌 *chefs kiss*.

I’d just like to know what Garcia said to Madam Bouvier beforehand. The way that you kind of warn your friends about meeting your other friends. At first, Madam Bouvier being like “he an asshole? Do you need me to teach him a lesson, baby? Does he treat you dirty? I know how boss’ can be--”

and Garcia’s like “no, no, not like that!” and going into this really long and weird warning because Hotch is attractive (which is a weird thought now that she’s considering it) and he’s kind of cranky sometimes but also painfully shy so Garcia is just trying to tell her that Hotch might be a little shy and not to take it personally.

so imagine Madam Bouvier’s surprise when SSA Big Dick Aaron Hotchner walks in?? All cute and albeit shy but a handsome gentleman. You know Garcia got a call about that

Reblog if you think asexuality is a legitimate sexuality.

I'm trying to prove something.

Even more Season 17 SVU thoughts

I like Dodds a lot, as he doesn’t want to take advantage of his father’s position to get a better job, is empathetic and good at his job, a real team player. Fin’s remark about moving to the Counter-Terrorism Unit and potentially getting blown up/dying is some good foreshadowing as I know what happens at the end of the season, sob. 

I snorted at Tucker saying « Who watches this junk? » to Olivia in the trashy dating show ep and the scene cutting to Amanda and Carisi thoroughly invested in it! I love seeing their relationship developing, even as friends, and like Luv and Tucker together, though I thought he was married? Yet she clasps his hands with hers and kissed them, which felt very intimate to me! 

The arc with the Catholic Church made me cry, namely that scene at the very end of Carisi going to church and praying with his rosary. He would have made an excellent priest, but I think what stopped him is the idea of not being able to marry or have kids. He is extremely non-judgemental and very empathetic, especially when he is posing as a homeless rapist and shows real understanding towards the mostly reformed criminals. 

I love how versatile he is, as he is just as comfortable ( and as hot) whether he is in a homeless shelter and scruffy, just chilling in sweatpants and a hoodie or in a suit. He was particularly hot when wearing glasses in the strip club! Stabler also had to pose as a business man and rocked the expensive suit and glasses too, back in the day! 

Yay to Amanda hugging Carisi when he passed the bar exam, that was so sweet!

And OMG, Fin’s son was in an episode that didn’t feature homophobic hate crimes or someone in the closet! Excited to see Grandpa Fin, I am sure he’ll be great!

Munch came back, yay! He seems happy and relaxed, but is still funny and seemed to be so good with Noah. I always thought he’d make an excellent dad, but understand why he didn’t with his family history of depression/bad mental health and Alzheimer’s ( his dad killed himself and his uncle had memory impairment issues-both those eps made me cry). 

I have nearly finished Season 17, 2 more episodes to go and looking forward to Season 18 and beyond very much. 

Reblogging!

If you see this on your dashboard, reblog this, NO MATTER WHAT and all your dreams and wishes will come true.

Seriously feeling the desire to write some missing scenes between Hotch and Garcia!  Some ideas I have:

- Post Season 3 finale, the doctor tells Hotch he cannot fly due to his busted eardrum for a few weeks, so he ends up helping Garcia, staying in her office. They bring eachother breakfast in the morning, talk about the divorce/Jack/theatre/art/books and it totally makes up for the horrible time she had with Gideon in Season 1 ( the flowers and note that Hotch sends on Gideon’s behalf need to be acknowledged!)

-Post Season 9, Hotch comforting Penelope after shooting the unsub then teaching her to shoot. 

- Season 7 finale, their chat while they are dancing at the wedding, because he’s really managed to make her laugh and he is smiling, I think!

- Season 9, the Halloween episode, Hotch stays to help her clean up after her Day of the Dead party, she gives him his birthday card and present

- Post-performance after Garcia’s play in Reflections of Desire. Hotch gives her flowers in her dressing room, she invites him and the gang to come out for drinks with the rest of the cast! 

- Season 12 to 15 e-mails that are written but not sent between Garcia and Hotch ( they both chose the same codenames for eachother!) about their lives etc as they never got to say goodbye properly!

-Post Season 15, Hotch and Jack come back to Quantico, bump into Penelope, friendship is rekindled, they get super close, swapping horror stories about dates, spending lots of time together, and eventually get together romantically!  What would you like to see?  Other ideas gratefully received too!

How could Gotcha be anything else? They get eachother and I can picture Penelope saying it when she gives Hotch a surprise hug or kiss or if she’s played a sweet prank on him, it’s what she’d say! Thank you Sumayyah for your sweet words, you’re an angel!

As a new mutual, could I ask for 🪴, please?

Of course you can!

🪴and i’ll write you a little love letter

[IMAGE ID: Louisa, It feels very fitting that your name begins with an L. Because lovely- which is what you are- and lucky- which is what I am to know you, you're so sweet and kind, which is just so nice because it gives me hope that you don't need to get crueler as you get older. Your comments and thoughts that you leave on my posts make me smile so, so much. Please don't ever change and thank you for a) Gotcha as a ship name and b) proving there is indeed a bravery in being soft - Sumayyah]

SVU Season 9 overview

I am currently rewatching Season 9.

The Season premiere is fantastic, it is up there as one of my favourite episodes regarding the crime committed/the perpetrator. 

Cynthia Nixon is just incredible! All her different personalities are so distinct and she switches between them so seamlessly. 

The car crash in Paternity still makes me gasp every single time and that first hug between Elliot and Olivia just encapsulates their relationship perfectly, how they can communicate everything they need to tell each other without saying a word. I still think Oliver should have been used somewhere in Eli’s name, to honour Olivia’s role in saving both Kathy and Eli’s lives! 

The actual crime investigation in Paternity is also so sad. The non-biological father ( but Tommy’s real dad in terms of care and love provided) breaks my heart. Tommy is such a cute little boy, and it’s adorable to see Elliot with him. 

After Eli is born, Elliot seems to spend even more time at work, if that is possible! Several times it is mentioned that they’ve been working on a case for a couple of days, that it’s the early hours of the morning and they are questioning suspects, looking through footage… 

I also watch OC, so I think this needs to come up in conversation between Elliot and Eli, as Eli wants to become a cop and Elliot is not a fan. 

Eli and his girlfriend are also expecting a baby, and they are no more than 20 ( second year of college, I think). 

I had forgotten how little Elliot sees of his family. I knew he worked hard and occasionally spent a few days on a case without any/many breaks, but this is just constant, and there are probably lots of overlapping cases too. 

I am frankly surprised Kathy stayed married to Elliot, as in Season 10 she is ready to leave him again, when he yet again goes undercover and doesn’t warn her, leaving Olivia to come over and explain things to her. 

The Robin Williams episode is brilliant, another favourite and at first I thought « Oh, that sounds just like Robin Williams, they’ve found an actor who is just as good at mimicking voices… Oh, hang on, it is Robin Williams! ». I love that they left the ending unresolved so he could have come back at some point. 

I love Casey Novak, she is one of my favourite ADA’s. I find her mindset very similar to Elliot’s, and they have this big brother-little sister dynamic that I find very interesting.
