🫖 + 🍒 + 🍨 for the ask game !!
YAAYYY!! thank you so much for the ask!! i’m going to be answering these emoji prompts (from your s/o ask game) for my ancient greece reality MUAHAHAHA 😼😼
🫖 ⊹ ࣪ ˖ chamomile tea : how does your s/o help soothe or ground you when you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or anxious? if you're having a bad day, what do they do to help? . . . chrysanthos can be a bit cautious at first when i’m anxious. he can be a bit socially awkward at times, so he’s not always aware of what the best course of action is. he gets better over time as he’s had experience with me. but even after all that he’s still cautious so as to not send me spiraling. but his comfort for me is words of affirmation. he understands anxiety is very much a “stuck in the head” kind of thing and he tries his best to affirm me the best he can. he’ll try to soothe me by rubbing my back or squeezing me in tight hugs because sometimes i’ll chase certain sensory experiences when i’m over/underwhelmed. when i’m having a bad day mentally though, he just spends time with me. we cuddle, watch a movie (forgot to mention this is a more modern like reality), play games, ravish each other… or we just talk.
🍒 ⊹ ࣪ ˖ cherry soda : when you think of them, what is the first song or lyric that sparkles into your mind? why does this remind you of them or your relationship? . . . i’ve shared this song for this exact reality before, but this is literally our song i fear! it’s Puppets for the Gods by Rozie Ramati. it’s a song about lust as well as love that uses greek/roman deity analogies to describe the intensity of it all.
this reminds me of us simply because our first night meeting was very desire filled but also filled to the brim with a strangely sudden love. and since we are in ancient greece it has very fitting wordplay !!
🍨 ⊹ ࣪ ˖ affogato : how does your s/o show love? does their love language align with one of the traditional 5 types, or is it something unique to them? do they have a special way of making you feel appreciated? . . . quality time is the main way both of us show our love in our relationship. we just genuinely spend too much time together. i don’t have a job, so i have a good amount of free time on my hands. and whenever chrys is available we’ll spend time together. it’s just what we both prefer, to spend any waking moment we can together. though he also has been known to love me with words of affirmation. just verbally affirming me when i need it, or even when i don’t. it’s nice to have from him. he does have a special way of making me feel appreciated and that’s by seeing me as more than just a celebrity of greece. to a lot of the people i’ve had… relationships with i’ve just been a prize to be won. and to most of greece, who don’t know me, i’m a rich boy to thirst after. he has, from the beginning, seen me as just a man. a man he was really attracted to, but a man nonetheless.

I started to play Honkai: Star Rail because Boothill's character design is just so charming and it appealed to me in every way (dark clothes, cyborg, long Sephiroth-esque hair, sharp teeth). And obviously I am excited for his release, but...
I love Dr Ratio.
First off, his name literally having the word ratio is already funny to me, considering it's become a slang term. But then his whole thing of just... hitting enemies with his book? Or killing them by throwing a ruler at them? He has some oddly refined Baldi vibes.
I came for Boothill but I stayed for Dr Ratio. But I will also stay for Boothill when he's released.
#I am having so much fun with this game#I'm saving up for Boothill when he's released in a month or so#because everything about him appeals heavily to me#but oh my god I didn't think the arrogant latin-loving teacher would be such a show stealer#why is it the two characters I've fixated on are so goofy??#cowboy cyborg and Baldi: Ancient Greece Edition#rambles#honkai star rail#boothill#dr ratio#veritas ratio

A Halloween costume for Dr Ratio inspired by the Anthesteria festival in Ancient Greece (ignore the rough looking couch lmao).
It’s a festival that has some surprising similarities to the Samhain festival, which Halloween is based off of.
The festival was closely tied to Dionysus and celebrated the arrival of spring, new wine and the dead over the course of 3 days. People used to dress in fancy garments or dress up as Dionysus’s companions, such as satyrs and centaurs, on the second day, which is what inspired the outfit for the most part.
This man would 100% go for a historical reference, if he were to agree to wearing a Halloween costume in the first place lmao.
I may still make some small changes, if inspiration strikes.

Meant to link this sooner but life briefly got away from me -- tl;dr it was discovered last month that over 1500 ancient artefacts were stolen from the British Museum by a senior museum curator. Who has been selling them on eBay for years. (Allegedly. And possibly the museum knew about it much earlier and covered it up, given he was dismissed earlier this year; the theft was actually uncovered by someone who linked the curator's twitter and ebay accounts.)
Lots of talk these past two weeks about how this does not give the museum much of a leg to stand on the next time it tries to assert it's a better caretaker of Greek antiquities than, well, Greece. The marbles being returned in our lifetime is a stronger possibility than ever.
Been a bad year for the museum, aside from the blessing of my presence there in April...

psssst!!! post's layout was ib hrrtshape!! my fav mootie ever,, ♡
⊹₊ ✰ ⋆ NOW READING ┋ harry potter dr.
your hogwarts reality feels like rainy afternoons, where clouds cling to the sky like an unspoken promise. it’s libraries that smell of leather and parchment, the kind where you breathe in and suddenly remember things you’ve never lived.
• it reminds me of the soft hum of the cranberries’ “dreams” or the low ache in radiohead’s “exit music (for a film).”
• it feels like the gothic spires of edinburgh, dark green scarves blowing in the wind, and the cold stone streets of york.
• movies like dead poets society and stardust carry the same weight, that blend of whimsy and melancholy, where magic isn’t just magic—it’s rebellion, it’s survival.
• this dr smells like earl grey tea, sharp with bergamot, and the flickering glow of a candle dripping wax onto an old oak desk. it’s virgo sun with scorpio moon energy: structured, mysterious, aching with purpose.
• autumn is your season—cool winds, warm fires, and leaves crackling underfoot.
⊹₊ ✰ ⋆ NOW READING ┋ fantastic beasts & where to find them dr.
this dr is gold filigree and vintage maps, the kind you get lost in, only to discover yourself in the borders. it’s the delicate art of understanding things bigger than you—creatures, love, alchemy.
• it’s the nostalgic drawl of jeff buckley’s “hallelujah” or fleetwood mac’s “the chain,” songs that sound like they were written by ancient souls.
• feels like london, fog rolling off the thames at dawn, or somewhere quieter, like oxford or canterbury, where history whispers to you in cobblestone cracks.
• watch the theory of everything or midnight in paris, for that subtle sense of chasing something you’ll never quite touch but will die trying to understand.
• it smells like leather gloves and ink-stained fingers. it feels like cancer venus — taurus mars — gemini mercury energy: tender, protective, but a little guarded.
• winter. always winter. the kind of cold that bites, but you endure it because it reminds you you’re alive.
⊹₊ ✰ ⋆ NOW READING ┋ percy jackson dr.
camp half-blood hums like cicadas at twilight, drenched in summer heat and the salt of the sea. it’s friendship forged in battle, love found between cracks in the earth.
• this dr is nirvana’s “come as you are” and smashing pumpkins’ “1979.” chaotic, nostalgic, but alive.
• it’s greece in all its ancient glory—the ruins of delphi, the waves crashing at the cliffs of santorini. but it’s also the rugged coastlines of california, where myths could hide in the spray of the pacific.
• the movies the perks of being a wallflower and the goonies echo this vibe: coming-of-age stories tied with adventure and heartache.
• it’s that faint copper smell of blood and the earthy scent of olive trees. sagittarius rising — aquarius mercury — aries mars energy: reckless, bold, chasing freedom with no map in hand.
• summer. long days, wild nights, golden sunsets.
⊹₊ ✰ ⋆ NOW READING ┋ fame dr.
this dr is glitter in your veins, like electricity is the only thing keeping you moving. it’s the hum of the spotlight, the chaos of dreams colliding with reality.
• this one is björk’s “human behaviour” and radiohead’s “high and dry.” a little experimental, a little tragic, but undeniably iconic.
• it’s new york city, obviously—broadway lights cutting through the smoke, or maybe los angeles, a city burning with ambition.
• black swan and whiplash—these movies carry the same brutal hunger, the obsession that eats you alive but makes it all worth it.
• it smells like sweat and perfume and cigarette smoke, all blending together under flashing lights. aries moon — leo sun — gemini venus energy: fiery, intense, unapologetically raw.
• spring—the season of beginnings, of things growing, of chasing what could be.
⊹₊ ✰ ⋆ NOW READING ┋ mermaid dr.
this dr feels like the ocean’s lullaby, where the waves carry secrets and the moon pulls your heart like a tide. it’s otherworldly and yet familiar, like a dream you wake up from, still tasting salt on your lips.
• it sounds like enya’s “sail away” or the cure’s “lullaby.” haunting, ethereal, but grounding.
• the turquoise waters of the maldives, or the dark, stormy coasts of cornwall, where cliffs meet an endless horizon.
• the shape of water and ponyo—love stories where the sea breathes life into forgotten places.
• it’s the smell of saltwater and seaweed, the sting of ocean spray against your cheeks. pisces sun & neptune — taurus moon energy: dreamy, fluid, a little lost but beautifully so.
• late summer, early autumn—those blurry in-between days when the air holds onto its warmth just a little longer.
⊹₊ ✰ ⋆ NOW READING ┋ f1 driver dr.
your f1 dr feels like adrenaline in your veins, the roar of engines, and the wind whipping against your face. it’s speed, competition, but also the camaraderie of shared obsession.
• it sounds like oasis’ “champagne supernova” and the killers’ “all these things that i’ve done.” songs that echo triumph, heartbreak, and everything in between.
• monaco glitters in this dr: yachts anchored in the harbor, the narrow streets drenched in sunlight. but it’s also the neon-soaked nights of singapore and the deserts of bahrain, where the air hums with tension.
• movies like rush and ford v ferrari capture the heart of this dr—rivalries, passion, and the pursuit of perfection.
• it smells like burnt rubber, sweat, and the metallic tang of engines. aries sun — capricorn mars — aquarius uranus energy: fiercely competitive, always chasing the next thrill.
• summer, specifically those late august days when the air is electric with possibility.

• it smells like the briny ocean, dragon scales warmed by the sun, and the smoky scent of campfires.
• the cliffs and fjords of norway, the volcanic shores of iceland—this dr is rugged and alive, filled with places where magic hides in the landscape.
• movies like spirit: stallion of the cimarron and brave echo this vibe: freedom, connection, and the push against expectations.
• it feels like sagittarius moon & jupiter — aquarius moon energy: wild-hearted, always exploring, always yearning for more.
• spring, where the world blooms and feels untamed, uncharted, and full of life.
⊹₊ ✰ ⋆ NOW READING ┋ game of thrones dr.
your game of thrones dr is fire and ice, betrayal and loyalty, the sharp edge of power balanced with the fragility of hope. it’s a world where survival is its own form of poetry.
• it’s joy division’s “atmosphere” and led zeppelin’s “stairway to heaven.” haunting and raw, filled with the weight of kingdoms rising and falling.
• the ancient castles of scotland, the desolate beauty of the sahara, the twisting streets of dubrovnik—places where history feels alive, where whispers of power still linger.
• movies like gladiator and kingdom of heaven hold the same pulse: grand, epic, and dripping in drama.
• it smells like blood, snow, and the faint sweetness of wine. scorpio rising — capricorn mars & mercury energy: intense, strategic, magnetic, but dangerous if crossed.

fuck it. I’m analyzing Dr Ratio’s eidolons.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/13ea8a579c70e8cdfb2e6734fc2d5e92/90354773727b3d38-9d/s540x810/1b70a9074821b3c6c845b70aa6d22fbdb5ba81fc.jpg)
I interpret eidolons as different facets of a persons character, tying back into their journey in life. (Also this shit loooong so I’m putting it under cut)
1. Pride Comes Before a Fall: this phrase originates from the Bible (proverbs 16:18), which talk of how the sin of pride will eventually lead to destruction, and telling one to practice humility*. To me, this phrase refers possibly to Ratio’s desire to be noticed by Nous. His pride originating from his previous achievements, lauded and touted as a prodigy from a young age (this is, of course, speculation because MIHOYO WONT GIVE ME RATIO LOOREEE). Through this pride, we can obviously see what happens next: he is never noticed by Nous, this is his fall. Either in the eyes of others, or himself (as it is never outright stated that Ratio sought the gaze of Nous, but I subscribe heavily to this line of thinking, due to his voiceline when you max level him: “If this day I have not gained the recognition of Nous, it stands to reason I never will at any point in the future”).
2. The Divine is In the Details: This is an idiom, although it’s more commonly said as “God is in the details”. This phrase is meant to emphasize the importance of the smaller, overlooked details which make up the whole. This is used most often in art and architecture, but can be applied to many other things. I connect this to Ratio’s meticulous nature as a scholar and researcher, but I also draw lines to his 1st eidolon. After Ratio is rejected by the higher powers, he turns instead to the “insignificant” common people, realizing their importance— we know that Ratio values all life, even one’s “marked by failure”, which others may overlook. Real divinity is not the God, but rather the beauty of humanity’s falls and successes.
3. Know Thyself: This was a proverb written upon the temple of Apollo, in Delphi, Ancient Greece. This has many meanings, from knowing your limits (either as one’s place in the universe, or your own mortality), to the broader interpretation by Plato as knowing your soul, and a a common theme of through studying the self could one know the universe. All of these relate heavily to Ratio, considering his tenets of self-improvement. He also references in his line when he finds an enemy target, “You learn to know yourself before your enemy.” (Which is ALSO a quote from Sun Tzu’s The Art of War.) I think this one is pretty self explanatory as a continuation to the previous Eidolons, after his rejection, he seeks to reevaluate (relearn) himself and his stance in life.
4. Ignorance Is Blight: This represents Ratio’s goal to eradicate ignorance and stupidity across the universe, but it is also a inverse on the popular idiom “ignorance is bliss”. This idiom is basically everything Ratio stands against, he will know and say the truth unfiltered, even if it is uncomfortable. I also see this as Ratio finally discovering his calling as a teacher.
5. Sic Itur Ad Astra*: Written in the Aeneid, meaning “thus one journeys to the stars”. It has merged over time with another phrase in the Aeneid, “opta ardua pennis astra sequi” (meaning: desire to pursue the difficult-to-reach stars) becoming the common encouragement, “Reach for the stars.” We know Ratio never settles for doing anything in halves, and as a teacher, he constantly pushes others and himself to reach for high goals. Although his methods can be harsh, it is ultimately through strife (“— it is only in moments on solitude and despair, when help is absent, that fools grasp how to pick themselves up.”), that he seeks to unlock the potential of every person. This is most obviously seen in the Trailblazer Continuance quest: Crown of Mundane and Divine where he leverages the situation to try and topple the blind worship of the Genius Society on the space station.
6. Vincit Omnia Veritas: Meaning: Truth conquers all things. Surface level, this one is pretty straightforward too, Ratio values truth highly, and to him, it is the antithesis to ignorance, and therefore knowledge. As his Ultimate voiceline goes, he says, “Knowledge is the measure of all things. It reveals truth, and falsehood.” What I want to focus on however, is his pose in the eidolon. It is the exact same pose as Michelangelo’s David statue. This depiction is of David before his famous battle with Goliath. In this eidolon, Ratio is the figure David, who was also known as a symbol of the protection of civil liberties. And in by interpretation, Goliath is the stupidity he wants to eradicate. Just as truth conquers all things, Veritas will conquer all ignorance.
*— I also think this is why he consistently downplays himself and avoids the spotlight (calling himself a supporting character).
*— fun fact, this phrase is also used as the motto of Cambridge University, very fitting.
#posts#dr ratio#hsr dr ratio#my analysis#sighhh I worry a lot of this is surface level but feel free to add on anything if you want hehe.#and also if anything is wrong!#mostly just got my info from google searches#my friend made me post this because I constantly ramble in her dms abt dr ratio hehe

I don't want to sound like an apologist for anything but I feel like it should be acknowledged that the question of morality in different periods of history is complex and not easy to answer.
If you do say things like 'marrying an underaged person was totally okay back in the 1700s so what they did was totally fine actually' it definitely does ring alarm bells (as it should!)
That is not the exactly the same thing as saying 'considering the historical context of the era this person lived in, their behaviour would have likely not been considered too far out of the ordinary'. And I believe you can probably replace this with people's views of slavery or domestic violence and get to a pretty similar thing.
Is it dark and depressing? Sure. It's also, to the best of my knowledge, often fairly accurate.
I mean, I would have to do an actual research on this particular question to make any more definite statements. But just look at Ancient Greece's societal norms concerning relationships. That is definitely a challenge any historian needs to grapple with, but saying that every other man living at that time was a monster just isn't very useful, and doesn't feel like great academic work either.
Sometimes you would need to take a step back and try to look at these issues with more of a dispassionate curiosity to try and understand them. (As with Ancient Greece - what role did these relationships serve? How did they influence Greek culture? The structure of Greek society? etc.) That doesn't mean you renounce your own sense of right and wrong.
I feel like the best approach would be to acknowledge your modern perspective and clearly mark it in the text (something like 'by our modern standards, this would of course be seen as...' or even focus on writing articles from the perspective of the affected/opressed). But then also write about the way such behaviour would have been viewed in the time it took place. This does not, in my opinion, excuse the behaviour - it just helps to put it in the necessary context.
The bonus of this approach is that it allows the historian to highlight when someone's behaviour is genuinely considered morally reprehensible even by the standards of the time (something like 'even in a misogynistic society, his treatment of women was marked as particularly reprehensible' -> well better than that but it's also midnight, I'm tired and I'm sure you get my point).
There is also the possibility that some behaviour that is considered totally okay today will be seen as completely reprehensible by someone reporting on it hundreds of years from now. Something to keep in mind as a historian.
TL;DR definitely don't want to excuse any problematic behaviour but I think we should treat the question of moral norms in history as the complex and difficult issue it is, rather than jumping to conclusions
(also saying that someone's opinion is automatically unworthy because they haven't taken history classes at a university level just feels kind of elitist. Sure, an understanding of historiography and a critical approach are incredibly important, but it is not impossible to get at least the basic idea just from your own reading. And in any case, it is better to explain it rather than to dismiss the person's opinion altogether.)

For half a millennium until the Holocaust, the cosmopolitan city of Thessaloniki, Greece, had a unique claim to fame: it was Europe’s only major city with a Jewish majority.
But the golden age of Thessaloniki’s mostly Sephardic Ladino-speaking Jewish community came to a sudden end with the Nazi occupation of Greece in 1941 and turned cataclysmic with the deportation two years later to Auschwitz of nearly all the city’s Jews. By the end of World War II, some 65,000 Greek Jews — 87% of the total and 96% of those from Thessaloniki — had been killed, leaving barely 2,000 survivors in Thessaloniki (also known as Salonika).
Among them were the parents of Dr. Albert Bourla, a veterinarian who would go on to become the chairman and CEO of Pfizer, one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies.
In 2022, Bourla won the Genesis Prize — often described as the Jewish Nobel — for having led the development of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine. Stan Polovets, co-founder and chairman of the Genesis Prize Foundation, said in announcing the reward, “Millions of people are alive and healthy because of what Dr. Bourla and his team at Pfizer have accomplished.”
Now, with global antisemitism at its worst levels since World War II, Bourla is about to realize another milestone: the long-awaited opening of a Holocaust Museum of Greece.
Bourla donated the $1 million Genesis Prize money toward construction of the museum. The museum is also being funded by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, and the governments of Greece and Germany. The management of the museum is currently trying to raise an additional $10 million.
“Those who know me know that in addition to being very proud of my Jewish heritage, I am equally proud of being Greek,” Bourla said in an emotional June 2022 speech in Jerusalem accepting the Genesis Prize. “My mother’s courage and optimism came from her experience of narrowly escaping death at the hands of the Nazis. In fact, both of my parents turned their experience surviving the Holocaust into something positive and life-affirming. This clearly shaped my worldview.”
The 9,000-square-foot museum occupying eight floors in an octagon-shaped structure will be located at the site of Thessaloniki’s Old Railway Station, where the first Nazi train carrying Jews to Auschwitz departed on March 15, 1943.
But the museum, slated to open in 2026, won’t be just about the tragedy of the Holocaust. Exhibits and artifacts will tell the story of more than 2,300 years of Greek Jewish history in Thessaloniki and 38 other communities, beginning with the ancient Romaniote Jews who settled in Greece during the reign of Alexander the Great.
At an Oct. 29 groundbreaking ceremony in Thessaloniki, Polovets was joined by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Greek President Katerina Sakellaropoulou, and local dignitaries and Holocaust survivors.
“I was honored to participate and was moved by the ceremony, during which President Steinmeier said he ‘felt shame’ and that the memory of what was done to the Jewish people on this site ‘cannot be erased.’ That is why this museum is so important,” Polovets said. “The memory of this once-vibrant Greek Jewish community and its near destruction by the Nazis — especially during the current wave of rising global antisemitism — must never be erased.”
Only about 5,000 Jews remain in Greece: About 4,000 live in Athens, and the remainder live in Thessaloniki, Ioannina, Rhodes, Corfu and other communities. Meanwhile, Greece has not been immune to the wave of antisemitism sweeping Europe. Vandalism of Jewish cemeteries and Holocaust memorials is fairly commonplace.
A 2014 global survey of antisemitism by the Anti-Defamation League found that 69% of Greeks harbor antisemitic views — the highest percentage of any country in the world outside the Middle East. While those findings are sometimes disputed, Greece continues to struggle with antisemitism.
However, physical violence against Greek Jews is extremely rare, and the current Greek government, as well as the one that preceded it, are considered among the most pro-Israel in Europe. Greece observes International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and in 2014 the parliament outlawed Holocaust denial.
A big push for the Holocaust museum came from Thessaloniki’s former mayor, 82-year-old Yiannis Boutaris, who died on Nov. 4, less than a week after the Holocaust museum’s groundbreaking ceremony. Boutaris announced that his city would build the museum at a 2017 event attended by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other dignitaries.
“It will symbolize our shame,” Boutaris said at the time, “for what happened, for what we did, and mostly for what we could not or did not wish to do… during and after the war.”
In addition to Bourla, other famous Jews with roots in Thessaloniki include actor Hank Azaria, Israeli businessman and philanthropist Leon Recanati, his sister the philanthropist Jude Recanati, actress Lea Michele, former Nevada congresswoman Shelley Berkley and Belgian-born American fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg.
Polovets said Bourla’s donation aligns with the Genesis Prize Foundation’s values and mission of inspiring Jewish pride.
“With the rise of global antisemitism, education will be at the center of the museum’s activities, hosting permanent and temporary exhibitions and archives that will highlight the value of preserving the remembrance of the Holocaust, acceptance and respect for diversity, human rights, and freedom,” he said.
Polovets said he hopes the museum will inspire visitors to fight hatred from spreading today.
“Hatred in any form leads to denial, disrespect and destruction,” he said. “Democracy and respect for others are values that can never be taken for granted, and each of us has a responsibility to stand up to all forms of hatred.”

Dr. Ratios predictions, theories and ideas I have for his lore BECAUSE SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED AND I AM INSANE ABOUT HIM AAAAAAA
‼️INCLUDES DISCUSSION OF LEAKS SO BE WARNED‼️
So, I’m sure if you like Dr. Ratio even a little bit or have kept up with what leakers are doing, you have heard of a little something.
That little something being our new planet in coming in 3.0 is Ancient Greece inspired
Oh boy.
And oh it gets better, thanks Sparkle for playing genderbend Ratio during Cosmoddesy because
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/cb48b2745028f3c02785251777085213/6f5a90aba43c7c03-05/s540x810/befe16efef8e71e088878bb9ef5e4ba33265fc81.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/11faa216943c5347cbd1708d2e4ae805/6f5a90aba43c7c03-75/s1280x1920/ad7f94a7bc3868b9441c3af9bd65534826aec0d9.jpg)
Yup, this is his planet.
I’m well aware it will be like 7 months before we start getting proper leaks about this place, but for now, let’s do some speculation shall we, because if there’s anywhere we are gonna get his backstory/lore/a story centered around him, it will be here.
So let’s begin
Whatever the hell I think is gonna happen during 3.0
A) He will serve as a guide for the Astral Express in navigating this planet
I don’t think he will immediately go to them to help, or they will immediately seek out him, but rather coincidentally or through the connivence of circumstance he will end up helping lead us around, at least partially until we really get roped into a conflict.
Or, it’s the other way around, where we kinda are left to our own devices a bit and then something happens and either by his own decision or something that’s forced upon him, Dr. Ratio now has to supervise from now on.
Personally I find the second option way more interesting and I think it has way more potential for angst so I’m going with that one let Ratio be dragged around by a malicious entity or his own experiences I’m so here for it.
B) Something happens.
Wow, descriptive.
Ok, what I really mean is that something bad happens like a prophecy comes true or the express breaks something or a stellaron comes to eat people’s grandmas and Ratio is implicated in it.
And this is where the fun begins, as the nature of what this something is can completely shift the story in very interesting ways.
Perhaps he was prophesied to doom Amphoreous’s civilization with his presence or something, and was abandoned by his parents on another planet?
Perhaps he has connections to the leaders there who desired for him to be their puppet/tool, so he left to find his own path and now they are trying to force him back.
Perhaps he failed at a test of theirs when he was younger, some universal trait on the planet that he couldn’t live up to and was exiled because of it. Now that he’s back, they blame whatever bad thing happens on Ratio.
I actually really like these particular theories as Ratio has a lot of themes about creating your own destiny, so seeing him resist one forced upon him would be compelling. Moreover, I feel as though an arc demonstrating how exactly he wanted to become a Genius/where he got all his insecurities and motivations from is not only necessary for his character but would flesh out the way we see the path of Erudition in general, even if I already really like the way they have gone with it so far.
C) Resolution/Self acceptance
I doubt they will permanently kill him, it just doesn’t suit his character at all.
However, do I think is he gonna get messed up by whatever that “something” is? Yes.
If the story centers on this remains to be seen, honestly, I doubt it will considering we have the entire cast of the planet and its own lore to meet and learn about, but I do think Ratio will be a major player and I hope how he feels gets some of the plot’s focus as we have quite literally only have 1 full scene of him where we see who he truly is, and it’s all the way back in 1.6 (Ratio-Screwllum conversation my Roman Empire).
Like guys I needed this man bleeding out screaming dying crying throwing up clutching his wounds looking up at the screen like a kicked puppy losing all hope in himself and others YESTERDAY
I NEED SOMETHING BAD TO HAPPEN TO HIM FOR CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND BECAUSE RATIO IS SO HIGH STRUNG THAT ANY AMOUNT OF PRESSURE WILL CAUSE HIM TO SNAP SO PLEASE HOYO LET HIM BREAK!!!
He needs another scene where he’s being sincere, he needs a scene where he’s being vulnerable, Ratio’s marble facade needs to crumble to reveal the man underneath and I need that man to pick himself back up again knowing he can allow himself to be human as well AAAAAAAAAA
His connections to Acheron
If you have seen my other posts I have already talked about this at length, however the brainrot for this particular detail is all consuming so let me just demonstrate:
Dr. Ratio has the same philosophy as Acheron, an emanator of Nihility.
Look.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3ed2a6f0810884f8424bf7fa9c3b4679/6f5a90aba43c7c03-a1/s540x810/38a367ed6e00dfa58bfc1a0e309d84f02e75a443.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/dd518d9c14a34f207d1f3585710f39f8/6f5a90aba43c7c03-29/s540x810/7c8e44a207bd7787ad367cfa3902c4ffb197acd0.jpg)
Essentially, they both believe that only in desperate situations will humans reach their full potential and begin to truly live for themselves. Moreover, they also both try and offer the tools to help people save themselves, Ratio with knowledge and Acheron with destroying the dreamscape, and that even if people can only become their true selves through struggle, it is the guidance and love of other people that will allow them to pick themselves up.
Interestingly, pre-2.2 I also believed Ratio was walking the path of Nihility, due to how he engages with knowledge. That very viewpoint spawned from the 1.6 conversation I just showed you, as Ratio demonstrates to the audience that he does not care about knowledge in of itself, but rather the value it can bring to people.
Now, this sets him apart from the Genius Society members, who believe knowledge is inherently valuable and that it is what brings the universe meaning to them. Every person Nous has acknowledged has expressed this belief, which is why they were acknowledged and Ratio isn’t.
Before you say it, no, it’s not that he isn’t smart enough, quite the opposite actually.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/56f0ecc10309d5d06030f64428b3789f/6f5a90aba43c7c03-91/s540x810/e8f6a4d2cfdf1620a5b5e812c07da43ae9d630ec.jpg)
Screwllum himself acknowledges his genius and time and time again are Ratios myriad of accomplishments brought up. In universe plenty of people believe he should have been instated into the society by now as well:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/afa4c50563db6be2e08ee9ecf6135629/6f5a90aba43c7c03-85/s540x810/30ad82aee83fe17af6f0b83cd8e5af0fa2a262a2.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/2d32c5a312f284cf62b73fbfa76dbe6b/6f5a90aba43c7c03-a4/s540x810/386a37fef9201d0a22c3be67cd6e6ce9d1aeb3ee.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/88b6ea5c27661a91533b55ca33d0d9d6/6f5a90aba43c7c03-0f/s540x810/008321c22737c156cda4d86462c36c5f623c9e14.jpg)
These are just the ones that implicate the society directly, as so many of Ratio’s character stories also mention just how accomplished he is.
Moreover, in 2.3 we are getting a new Sim Uni update made by Ratio himself, centered on humanity because of course it is, therefore he’s even smart enough to do the same things the GS members do, even collaborating with Screwllum to work on their favorite pet project.
So, what does this have to do with his lack of acknowledgment, and the path of Nihility?
I have established Ratio is smart enough and that he doesn’t view knowledge in the same way the other member’s do. Therefore, this difference in mindset is why Nous has never acknowledged him, because as much as Ratio thinks he is walking the path of Erudition, his personal philosophy and behaviors have never aligned with that, even if he thinks they do.
I mean, the man says it himself, even if he doesn’t realize the implications of it:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3ed2a6f0810884f8424bf7fa9c3b4679/6f5a90aba43c7c03-a1/s540x810/38a367ed6e00dfa58bfc1a0e309d84f02e75a443.jpg)
“The Path of Erudition has neither reason nor logic. While geniuses wander among the stars, the ordinary can’t even trace their footsteps.”
That is the path the Genius Society members walk, the path Ratio is criticizing in this sentence, the path he refuses to travel along himself, because what defines Ratio is that he will never leave the ordinary behind to stumble alone.
That is the path of Erudition.
And Veritas Ratio does not follow it.
So what does he believe in?
Finding your own path. Forging your own future, in the face of a meaningless universe, that is the only thing we should do, the only thing we CAN do.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/dd518d9c14a34f207d1f3585710f39f8/6f5a90aba43c7c03-29/s540x810/7c8e44a207bd7787ad367cfa3902c4ffb197acd0.jpg)
“even a life marked by failure is a life worth living”
That’s what Ratio believes.
It doesn’t matter if the masses cannot escape their mediocrity, if they will never be geniuses, if their efforts will go unacknowledged, because the universe doesn’t care, therefore they shouldn’t either. There is no grand test, no final destination, no perfect goal people must attain.
Destiny is uncertain, and people’s fates are theirs to choose.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/9ce3f5c1805132c1c7776710c7e6bd6d/6f5a90aba43c7c03-af/s540x810/cf38ff3fa83d35a93987c2c711093c89f3e36ca4.jpg)
Dr. Ratio believes people can still improve themselves, and that it doesn’t matter if people cannot reach the ceiling of knowledge, as they should still push themselves off the floor and stand up.
He doesn’t think anything confines people from bettering themselves, and that it’s pointless to deliberate over whether one can achieve perfection or not, they should strive to improve themselves regardless and live their best lives because why not? Sure there’s nothing saying they can, but there’s also nothing saying they can’t, and in the face of a meaningless universe, devoid of purpose, one must create their own, and he dedicates his life to aiding others in realizing this.
Ironically, Ratio does not take his own advice. He can recognize the merits of the masses, but he cannot appreciate his own. Ratio is forever walking forward, but he cannot see the path ahead of him, or appreciate the lengths he has gone, the distance he has traveled, and the lives he has improved.
Ratio spreads knowledge across the universe, believing that is what Nous desires, what the Erudition means, or rather should be, which is partly why he views himself as mundane, as a failure.
Not just because he is as ordinary as any other person, but because Ratio thinks he hasn’t succeeded in his goal without Nous’s acknowledgement. I think he believes that he hasn’t done enough, that he isn’t smart enough, that he will never be good enough, therefore no matter what has happened, Ratio is doomed do be as mundane as everyone else, and his accomplishments will never be worth the gaze of the entity who inspired him to help others in the first place, as that’s what Ratio believes they would want.
However, helping others is not something Nous cares about, it’s something Dr. Ratio cares about. Even if he doesn’t understand or acknowledge it, Ratio’s accomplishments are meaningful, and he has walked his path further than most ever have.
However, that path just isn’t the path of Erudition, it’s the path of Existence.
Initially I believed it to be the Nihility, and in a way I’m not wrong, considering one must cross underneath the shadow of the Nihility to find the Existence, so in a way he is still approaching them.
However, as always, Acheron clarifies everything.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/800caa1b055b9e766bd01849e85a1be6/6f5a90aba43c7c03-d4/s540x810/bb9772c5ad01d5c1ebc8af6259d35c84e612e028.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/e583fe9394ec6a022527b2881349a90b/6f5a90aba43c7c03-f8/s540x810/3f7ac2b9c9eff8c6edff152da3732cbce16ee9e6.jpg)
The Nihility envelops all, therefore it is meaningless. And before our final ending, our predetermined destiny (death), we have so many choices to make, therefore we should make them, as it makes both our life and death develop a completely different meaning.
As I have stated, this is what Ratio believes in, even if he attributes it to the Erudition, rather than the Nihility.
Ratio’s entire goal in life is to help others bring meaning to their lives and guide them in the right direction so they can begin to choose for themselves, using knowledge as his means to do so.
Which is exactly what Acheron does, “on the still waters of oblivion, I guide the wandering souls,” isn’t just a line she says because it sounds cool, rather, that is her goal as well. An emanator of Nihility, whose goal is to help others find their meaning in the universe.
But Acheron doesn’t just want that. She is looking for the Existence, and to kill the Nihility (meaningless) forever.
Which is significant, because if Ratio believes the same exact thing she does, and is walking the same path as she is, then like Acheron, he is heading towards the Existence, not the Erudition.
And Nous will never acknowledge him, not because he isn’t smart enough, but because he never followed them to begin with.
In fact, we know what Ratio is, or rather, what he might end up becoming.

So far no Doctors of Chaos have succeeded in their goals, but perhaps Dr. Ratio, Dr VERITAS Ratio, will be the one to do so. After all, who else could it be but him?
How fitting that the man named after truth would be the one to find it.
That fuckass owl
Glaux I want to throw you into a blender
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/15bdeffd9ee429576664f779a71b84f7/6f5a90aba43c7c03-8f/s540x810/cd613a5e76b337861ec37a7bd01eab01799bceb7.jpg)
This is Professor Glaux, one of the figures from the Hanunue-Clockie Era of Penacony who did some things like bring the stellaron there, was a scholar of the Intellgenica Guild, became the first dreamweaver, inspired the paper birds, did some shit with the Nightingale Family and presumably died.
I know, horrible explanation, especially considering I haven’t even done the quest this guy is from, but hopefully that’s all the information you need for now so I can introduce you to this theory (which I did not create, sadly I don’t remember who did but it was someone on twitter somewhere so shoutout to them)
That being… Dr. Ratio is Glaux
I hate it I’m sorry. But I will attempt to explain where it’s coming from.
A) Glaux has very similar references to Ratio, aka they are both associated with Greek culture, wisdom and owls
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/d620f7702ec8bb1870db68e77acff5cd/6f5a90aba43c7c03-36/s540x810/9b9f11ac953afaee1bd4ed044b8bef9bc7de1ed8.jpg)
Glaux is the Greek word for owl and they are heavily associated with Athena, the god of wisdom.
Now Ratio has extremely obvious owl, Greek and wisdom association if you have looked at him for any longer than 2 seconds so I’m not gonna bother to demonstrate it, they have similar references, moving on.
B) The Intelligencia Guild + their titles
They are from the same faction, and both are referred to as Professors (ratio gets called that more in the CN version I think), and at least Ratio dedicates his time to spreading knowledge, which I think is something Glaux shared.
C) This occurrence in Gold and Gears
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/91112609b8c2d2aefb0636464ef1554b/6f5a90aba43c7c03-fc/s540x810/59311f4ed280ef69b55536b00a795ac6e076fbbe.jpg)
You know, the one where a student kills themself because Ratio thinks they are an idiot.
Well, it’s complicated because apparently the story told in Gold in Gears takes place a long time ago??
How long I don’t know as my brain melted in my skull when trying to piece it together, so please do correct me if I’m wrong, I’ll try to make sense of it later.
Moreover, this is also complicated by the fact that this particular occurrence was used by Herta to teach the trailblazer some mechanics of the sim uni, which makes me thing it’s not a part of the lore/timeline in it in general, and just something funny she added in anyways. Continually, there are also occurrences from characters like Argenti and of the Genius Society members themselves, so I don’t think every event is set in the distant past.
However, I think this idea comes from the other person in that occurrence, Dr. No5, but he also kills himself in it, and I can’t find anymore information on it, so I doubt it. (also apparently in the Chinese version the Ratio they refer to isn’t in the way they refer to Dr. Ratio/the one we know so idk)
Either way, what this means is that if this occurrence did take place a while ago, then Ratio must be super fucking old and he must have been part of the Intellegencia Guild during that time, like a certain owl aka Glaux, who was part of it.
D) Ratio’s weird origins
By weird origins I mean we know jack shit about his past (although we finally know the planet he’s from!) and for all we know the man could have spawned in one day, with some other theories even coming to that conclusion, like the infamous worm theory.
Essentially, if you put this all together, Ratio was once an owl-humanoid named Glaux who was from the Amphoreous, and then became part of the Intelligencia Guild a while back, which is when that occurrence happened. He then went to Penacony, did some stuff, faked his death and like came back as Dr. Ratio on that planet again, which is why we don’t know anything about his origins.
Can you tell why I hate this theory as a concept.
I find it to be dumb, nonsensical, a waste of potential and just straight up random as hell. However it is also objectively valid and could have happened within the plot of the game which is why I hate it so much because please hoyoverse do not go in this direction I will skin you.
However, I do not think Ratio has nothing to do with Glaux.
Rather,
A) The stuff Glaux did on Penacony is meant to parallel how Ratio acted there, as both served as a guiding figure for people on their respective timelines
B) Ratio is the same species as Glaux/ they are from the same planet (Amphoreous).
Now this I fuck with heavily. Yes, Glaux is way more owl looking than Ratio is, however more human versions of his species could exist, and Ratio could just have the ability to like shift forms or something.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/15bdeffd9ee429576664f779a71b84f7/6f5a90aba43c7c03-8f/s540x810/cd613a5e76b337861ec37a7bd01eab01799bceb7.jpg)
He also looks extremely similar to the owls on Ratios design, which I now deem it appropriate to show to you the metric fuck ton of owls in Ratios design.

(there’s a few more btw I just couldn’t fit them due to the image limit LMAOO)
Why do you have so many, and why is it the same fucking owl, same culture, same goddess referenced, same symbolism????
Like even if I hate the 1 : 1 Glaux-Ratio theory, they are clearly connected, and this is no accident on behalf of the developers.
Therefore, I would keep an eye out for Glaux mentions in the future, especially on the planet coming in 3.0, as I 100% believe that they are from the same planet. There’s no way they can’t be connected in some manner, and if I am right about this I will be annoying about it for the rest of time.
I can’t believe owl Ratio might actually be a reality.
So uh, let’s put this all together.
We go to Ratio’s planet in 3.0, problems happen and we learn both his past and his connections to that owl species Glaux is from which likely causes even more problems. Bbg probably gets his ass handed to him in 3.0 and 3.1 and gets to make up for it in 3.2, ending the arc off more fulfilled as a person, and perhaps making some realizations about himself including that he isn’t actually following the path of Erudition. Then we skip all the way to endgame when the trailblazers are fighting Nanook and him and Acheron come in with the steel chair hopped up on Existence juice to give the trailblazer enough of a will to live as to not succumb to the Nihility because oh my god how can you defeat the embodiment of Destruction. We somehow win and Dr. Ratio gets married to Aventurine and they ride off into the sunset roll credits we all cheered.
So, yeah.
If I’m even a little bit right about this I will be the most insufferable person on this planet. Anyways I hope you enjoyed reading this, and even if these theories don’t end up being true I do still think the speculation gives a lot of insight into his character.

Spencer Reid fic...
A/Note: This is my first Spencer Reid fic so please be kind. This fic is thanks to @navybrat817 who convinced me to give it a go when I had no faith in being able to write this loveable character.
Characters: Spencer Reid, Other BAU team members; Reader (1 mention of Y/N)
CW: Secret relationship; a bit of angst but not much; some fluff; happy ending; Spencer being a forgetful genius (yes, he's a warning); If i missed anything, let me know
W/C: Approx 2080
Dividers by @firefly-graphics
“Spence, you promised.” You sighed. This was not the start to your morning you had expected.
Your fiancée, Dr Spencer Reid, lifted his head from his breakfast reading material with a confused look on his face. He might be a genius with an eidetic memory and one of the main players in the FBI’s famed Behavioural Analysis Unit at Quantico, but he seemed to easily forget the most basic things.
His confusion only lasted until he saw the stack of envelopes in your hand. “I was supposed to send those, wasn’t I?” he asked.
“They were supposed to go out a week ago Spencer. The RSVP date is next week!” you reiterated.
“I’m sorry Maat, I’ll send them today.”
You blushed, after all this time, the pet name he gave you when he found out your job and obsession still works on you.
On your 2nd date, Spencer asked what you do for a living. This led to a deep discussion about your work as a librarian at the Smithsonian and your overpowering obsession with all things ancient history. In particular, the gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt, Rome & Greece.
His question of which were your favourites didn’t take long for you to answer.
“Well,” you began “My favourite god is Anubis. He’s the jackal-headed god of the Egyptian Afterlife and mummification and that kind of thing. Without Anubis, none of the Pharaohs could enter the eternal afterlife. He weighed their souls and guided the dead, rich and poor, into the Afterlife.” You realised he’d gone silent and that maybe you’d just word vomited at him and had probably said Afterlife way too many times. You hoped you hadn’t scared him off.
You looked up at him and opened your mouth to apologize, when you saw such a look of awe on his face that you hadn’t seen on a date in a long time, well if you’re being honest, you’ve probably never seen it. He’d tell you on the day he proposed that his is when he fell in love with you. When he knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with you.
You then, in much fewer words, told him your favourite goddess was Gaia, the Greek goddess of the Earth.
Spencer resolved, at that moment, to read everything he could about these gods and goddesses so he could converse knowledgeably with you.
After he'd done his research, which involved speed reading everything he could find, he decided you were his Maat. Maat is the goddess of Justice, Harmony and Balance. When he called you this for the first time, you asked why. He simply replied that you bring Harmony and Balance are what you bring to his life, it’s what you are for him.
“You’re probably best giving the ones out at work you know, you see them every day.”
He looked at you hesitantly.
“Or are you still not wanting them to know about me?”
This was a small point of contention in your relationship. Early on, you understood Spencer wanting to keep you safe from the pitfalls of his job. However, now you are engaged, you thought he’d bring you into that part of his life more.
You know he wants the team, as his pseudo-family, at the wedding, but achieving that would involve actually telling them about you.
Suddenly a plan formed in your brain. You were glad Spencer’s attention had returned to his breakfast and reading material and he wasn’t looking directly at you, so he didn’t catch on that you were plotting something.
“No, I promise you it’s not that. There’s just so many important things running through my head at any one time. I just forgot.”
“Oh, more important than marrying me?” you enquired, a little bit jokingly but also, a little bit seriously.
“Don’t be like that my love, you know that’s not it at all. I love you so much, I can’t believe I’m the lucky guy that gets to call you my wife soon.”
“I know, it’s just sometimes, I wonder.”
“Well, don’t. Give them to me, I’ll put them in my satchel now and in the post box on my way to work.”
“Nope, I’m going to send them. At least that way I know they’re gone and you’re not trying to stall this wedding.”
“Sweetheart” he began, “I’m not stalling. But if it makes you feel better, then go for it. At least give me the ones for the team and I’ll give them out today when I get to the office.”
You filtered out the invites for his team, handing them to him and putting the rest in your bag.
A few minutes later, as he was leaving for work, you gave him a quick peck on the cheek, reminding him that it was his turn to cook tonight. You smile at the roll of his eyes, he’s not a bad cook but you can guarantee it will be takeout tonight.
You rang Spencer on your lunch break. He usually took lunch around the same time of day as you, so you knew you could have a conversation without issues of people being around or listening in. This happened most days he was working in the Quantico office.
During the call, you asked him how his team had reacted to the invitations. You were pretty confident he hadn’t given them out yet and this was all part of the plan.
After he left this morning, you noticed he had, once again, left the envelopes on the kitchen table, forgetting to put them in his satchel. You knew he hadn’t given them out because he couldn’t, but that also means he hadn’t even tried yet.
“Oh, I haven’t had a chance to give them out yet because…”
“Spencer Walter Reid, I am sensing more and more that there’s something else going on. If you want to postpone, or cancel, this wedding, you better tell me know.”
Spencer couldn’t believe you would think that, more importantly, he couldn’t believe he’d made you think that. He knew what the fallout could be of everyone knowing about you and he was just hesitant about that.
"Maat, my love, I’ve never once been hesitant or unsure about marrying you. It is a big thing, everyone knowing about you, putting you in the line of fire, as it were. It’s just that massive change that is making me nervous. Not you. Not getting married, Never that.”
You sighed loudly. “I believe you Spencer, I just need you to back it up with actions love. Just promise me they’ll all have their invitations by the end of the day?”
“I promise you, I will give them out today.”
About an hour later, you walked up to the Quantico building asking for SSA Aaron Hotchner, with the envelopes in your bag. You’d mailed the rest of them, or given them out at your work this morning.
Aaron came down and confirmed your security clearance with the front desk and asked why you didn’t just let Spencer know. You told him that you’d been waiting on Spencer to give out some invitations and he kept forgetting them so you figured you’d have to do it yourself if you wanted it done, and probably as a surprise.
You hesitated when the lift doors opened on their floor. Were you doing the right thing forcing this to happen? You didn’t want to irrevocably damage your relationship with Spencer by forcing the meet and greet with the rest of Spencer’s team.
You stepped to the side so that you couldn’t be seen from inside their offices. “Is this wrong Aaron?” you asked him. “Maybe I should just take them home and not force this meeting.”
“Listen, you know Spencer loves you, we both know he wants this, but I get why he’s hesitant about, well, sharing you with the team. Sometimes I wonder, if Hayley hadn’t been exposed to this..”
“Hotch, Spence told me all about what happened, it wasn’t your fault. I just don’t want to make him angry by forcing the team to meet me, but we are fast approaching the rsvp deadline for this wedding.”
“Do you want me to send him out here. I really think he’ll be ok with whatever you do.”
“No, let’s do this….” You explain your plan to Hotch who grins like he’s masterminded the whole thing with you.
Hotch opens the door to the BAU offices and walks in with you beside him. You can’t believe this is the first time you are seeing where Spencer works. Of course you see the back of his head because his desk kind of faces away from the main doors. He looks like he’s deeply concentrating on whatever it is that he is reading.
Some of the team members are milling around one of the desks and when you walk in with Hotch they look up to greet him and you see the startled looks on their faces. They all looked at each other, then back at you and Hotch, waiting for someone to say something.
“Mornin’ Hotch” said the one you pretty much knew to be Derek Morgan. From Spencer’s detailed descriptions of each person, you were confident you knew who each person was in the group. “New team member?”
“No Derek.” Hotch replied.
“Well then hello gorgeous Mama” he grabbed your hand to shake it and lifted it to his lips to give you a kiss.
You could see Spencer out of the corner of your eye and he was just working out that a conversation was going on without him that maybe he wanted to be a part of. You saw him turn around and realise who it was with Hotch. The look he gave you was both priceless and stunned at the same time. You could clearly see the confusion on his face as to why you were there.
He stood up hesitantly raising his eyebrows at you. You gave him a small smile so as not to give anything away.
“Well, I have some invitations for you lovely people to an upcoming event that you might want to attend. So I came to give them out because my.. ummm.. assistant” you said pinning Spencer with a glare, that none of the team seemed to catch. “Kept forgetting to post them.”
Spencer heard what you said and his brain was even more confused. How could you have the invitations, he’d brought them with him that morning. He lifted his satchel and opened it, realising he had, once again, left them at home. He looked up at you, suitably apologetic in his glance and then put his head down, got up from his chair and made his way over to the rest of the group as you gave out the envelopes.
“Wait, you forgot Spencer.” Said the one you knew to be JJ. A sort of best friend to Spencer, who you felt might be the one who felt the most betrayed that he hadn’t told her about you.
“Oh I didn’t forget Spencer” you said. “But maybe you should open the envelopes and you might see why.”
One by one the envelopes were opened and the shocked looks on their faces said it all, as they read:
‘You are cordially invited to the wedding of Y/n Y/l/n and Spencer Reid’
Derek turned to Spencer “Pretty Boy, you dirty dog. You’ve been gatekeeping this gorgeous woman for how long?”
Spencer walked over to you, put his arm around your waist and replied “Oh, for about 3 years now” he happily turned and gave you a peck on the cheek.
“And you’re getting married? Spencer, why didn’t you say anything” asked Garcia.
“And why are we only just now meeting her?” JJ again.
“Well, you know with everything, Spence thought it would help keep my safe if as few people as necessary knew about me but, as you can see from those invitations, we’re fast coming up on a certain day that you guys can’t miss. Please say you’ll all come. We would so love to have you there and I’d love to get to know all of you better.”
There was a chorus of yes, and of course, and Derek even put in a “try and keep me away”
You were so happy that this had gone well and that Spencer didn’t seem angry at all and that all of his work colleagues really wanted to know you and help celebrate your wedding in a few weeks.
