She Knocked That Smug Look Off My Face But Luckily I Was Wearing A Second, Smaller Smug Look Underneath

During pride month, Garcia puts a little tray of pride pins in the bullpen with a sign that has 'take one!' written on it in rainbow gel pen.

She doesn't think about it much, just hopes that a few people will spot it and feel seen and loved.

She notices JJs first.

She's in the elevator and sees JJ jogging slightly to make it before the doors shut, Garcia keeps them open and the blonde grins at her in lieu of thanks. Its attached to her canvas tote, just below where the strap joins the body of the bag; a bisexual pin. Garcia knows its one of the ones she put out because of the layer of see-through glitter on it.

She doesn't mention it, but she puts a mini bi flag in JJs pen pot first chance she gets.

The next one she notices is Emilys.

It's about a week after she puts the pins out and shes going to Emily's office to ask about a case. She spots it, hooked carefully through the mesh wire of one of the pen pots on the unit chiefs desk. A glittery lesbian pride pin.

Again, she doesn't mention it, but she makes Emily a bracelet with the colours of the lesbian flag and leaves it in her desk. Garcia has seen it around the brunettes wrist every day since.

The next is Spencer, and Gacria actually sees him pick it out.

She's a little later than usual, and as she walks up to the bullpen, she sees Spencer loitering just beyond the doorway, right where the tray of pins is. She slows to a stop a few meters away and tries to be quiet as she waits for him to pick, not wanting to intrude if he didn't want anyone to know. She needn't have bothered as she sees him attach one of the bisexual pins to his cardigan pocket with a smile.

She watches with a warm, happy feeling as JJ and Spencer notice each others pins, the two friends clearly overjoyed in finding someone else who understands, completely and wooly.

Spencer gets an entire pack of bi and rainbow heart-shaped stickers.

Garcia starts to see the rainbow ones around the building, even noting one on the elevator ceiling, which she finds incredibly funny.

The bisexual ones are all stuck somewhere on JJ or Spencers desks.

Garcia starts to wear a pansexual pin on her clothing, rather than leaving it sitting on her desk, attaching it to whatever outfit she puts on in the morning.

No-one comments on it, but a after a few days of wearing it, a pansexual flag appears in her pen pot.

Another couple of days and she finds a shakily-made pansexual bracelet on her desk. She puts it on immediately, of course.

The next day she finds a few sheets of the same stickers she gave Spencer, but with the pansexual flag rather than the bisexual one.

It makes her feel seen in a way she's not used to.

Her team love her, and she loves them.

anyone else been involuntarily assigned "person who knows oddly specific information about random topics" by your friends and family? my best friend will be like "wait, why do people think the moon landing was fake?" as if that’s a normal question that id obviously know the answer to off the top of my head. i mean i do know the answer but its the principle

This is Money Snake. She only appears every 312 years. 

If you reblog her picture within the next twenty-five seconds you will have good luck and fortune for the rest of your life. 

I think it needs to become common knowledge that "inability to read social cues" can show up as overcompensating.

You don't know how much misbehaviour is allowed, so you become the perfect child who never tests rules.

You don't know if someone is irritated with you, so you'll be extra generous and self-effacing.

You don't know how much is expected of you at work so you'll kill yourself in a minimum-wage job and not notice that nobody else is working like this.

"Hardworking and quiet" should be as much of an autism red flag as "ignores rules and doesn't know when to stop talking". Or why don't we just start using words to communicate so i can stop tracking everybody's eyebrow twitches, that would be great.
