#and babysitting JJ’s kids or going to a foreign film festival with Emily

[bi-and-bewildered]

Here I come with another Spencer Reid "head-canon" :

Spencer never really had the concept of having a night with friends/ being invited to parties/ hanging out together simply because he was always younger than the people he attended classes with.

So when he joins the BAU and the others include him he gets all excited and feels like he is finally a part of it and brags to Morgan the whole way over to Hotch how this is his first night like this. And that he never watched a game. He is all excited when he arrives, happy stimming, helping Hotch with the snaks.

He ends up more liking it because of the idea of being invited then the watching football itself so eventually he starts every time they go over to Hotch's to merely talk to Haley all night and when they are at Morgan's to play with Clooney.

He still goes every time, not declining invites simply because he never had that before.

So eventually they make up a lie that a traditional evening with guy friends, like the stereotype, that Spencer all the years wished for, because it means he fits in, is not only watching sports or drinking together but it's also going to museums, art galleries and libraries. So occasionally Hotch and Morgan will be lead through museums by a rambling Spencer.

It comes out when Matt and Luke invite him to their ""guys night"" years later and he asks them about what they will do. And they are just like "watching sports??it's game night??" And Spencer asks them that evening if next time they can go to a museum and they tell him politely that its not their traditional night off but that they would go with him if he really wants to.

He then starts to prefer the ""girls nights"" until he eventually goes back to not joining either one of them.

When Morgan finds out he is like "pretty boy you gotta socialize" so now Spencer spends his evenings with Derek and Savannah from time to time and occasionally with Hotch and Jack and comes to the conclusion that he probably didn't miss much good in his teens.

Wow this was very long.

ahhhhh I love this!!

The first time Derek and Hotch invite him to hang out he’s just like “😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁”

He’s really excited the first time and basically talks his way through the whole game which limits any sort of negative experience. The next few times however, Derek and Hotch are deep engaged in the game and they’re yelling and shouting which isn’t very fun. He ends up sitting on the floor and chilling with Clooney.

So Derek and Hotch start interspersing little outings into their “guy nights” and Spencer absolutely adores it.

However once Derek leaves that all kind of stops and he starts feeling lonely. So naturally, he jumps at the chance to hang out with Matt and Luke. But usually they prefer doing something like working out or watching a game and it confuses him. (The first couple of times he ends up helping Kristy with the kids and enjoys himself much more that way because he gets to practice his magic tricks)

Eventually he starts spending his “guy nights” at Derek’s house with Hank and Savannah and enjoys that a lot more.

The team make it a point to do one-on-one outings with him instead, since grip settings aren’t really his thing.

hcs about being friends with the bau?

warning: cursing, mentions of alcohol

a/n: tell me why i have written a page about this in my journal lmao (this will include those from season 7 and season 13 cuz those are my favorite lineups)

first of all, let me just say that you are also an ssa working for the bau, so obviously you became a part of the bau family

being the youngest, everyone would call you the baby/the child of the unit

they would protect you at all costs (esp the guys)

had a shitty date? they would be at your side to listen to you rant

maybe even confront your date the day after and put them in their place

if you were going out alone, one of them would meet up with you to make sure you were okay

you told them that you’ll be okay, but they’ll still worry about you

and make sure you text them when you get home

and although you hate that they treat you like a child sometimes, you still love them with all your heart

anyways, you would do a lot of random shit with your second family

like getting drunk at rossi’s and crash in one of his guest bedrooms (honestly, the whole team does that lol)

probably because y’all were playing a drinking game

or maybe you just wanted to get wasted while getting full from rossi’s homemade pasta

you’d also get drunk with penelope and savannah at derek’s place (you know that one episode)

babysit (and spoil) everyone’s kids 

one time, matt told you to stop buying gifts for his five kids, but you couldn’t help it

you’d also watch over sergio and roxy

whether it was just housesitting or taking them out for a walk

you would binge-watch doctor who with spencer and penelope

and definitely dress up and go to conventions with them

you would go to the foreign film festival with spencer whether you knew the language the movie’s being played in or not

you would go to horror movie premiers with them

when they saw that absolutely nothing scared you, they were lowkey terrified of you

everyday at the office, you made it your goal to tell a joke or a story to hotch to try and make him laugh or at least smile

and you would succeed almost every time

when you all went out to a club, you found yourself (platonically) throwing it back on emily, derek, luke, or tara

they would also protect you if some creepy dude tried to make a pass at you

or you’d pretend to be emily or tara’s gf to scare off a guy

the parties y’all would throw oh my god

halloween parties

spencer would so help you with decorating

penelope knew how to make any scary treat

the scary props for your photobooth wall

and everyone’s costumes *chef’s kisses*

christmas parties

ugly christmas sweaters

secret santa with the whole team

decorating cookies and a gingerbread house

random mistletoes that cause matt and luke to share a very awkward but quick peck (it was funny as shit though)

you would throw everyone a surprise birthday party

but you bawled your eyes out when the team threw a surprise birthday for you (they found your pinterest board lmfao)

you also hung out with the girls a lot

you would go shopping with them

buying yourself a new wardrobe while also getting all the guys a little gift

you’d have random sleepovers with them

face masks and rewatching twilight (and crying)

you would also participate in that whole fbi baseball event they had (my favorite episode tbh)

the bau cheering for you as you made a homerun every turn

and the other units now knowing not to fuck with you

on the plane ride home from a case, instead of falling asleep quickly like the others do

you’d have your earbuds in and dance in your seat

not noticing derek laughing at you

or spencer, who was in the middle of reading, smiling at you

both confused as to how you still have so much energy left

when everyone was asleep, you’d go around and take pictures of the team sleeping

you literally have an album that’s just the bau making ugly faces

and you would so use them as reaction memes

i’m just saying, there’s no way the bau does not have a big groupchat together (and everyone has “baby” as your contact name)

y’all don’t even talk about cases

you guys just talk about whatever

and you’d send memes to them (and probably explain them to spencer)

you, emily, and penelope are the only ones to send reactions pics (until you start sending everyone’s faces and they get mad lol)

at jj’s wedding, you’d dance with everyone

and i mean everyone

including jj and will (we stan this man in this household)

when spencer’s hair started to grow longer

you’d tied them up in ponytails or even little space buns (he would look so cute omg)

it didn’t matter if it was just you two hanging out or y’all were working

and he would leave it on the whole day

one day, you decided to style swap with penelope

you both walked into the office looking like each other

you’d be wearing the brightest of colors

while penelope wore darker clothing

which threw the whole team off guard, but they continued to tease you two

at least that day was just filled with paperwork and you didn’t have to fly out for a case

when derek and spencer were having their little prank war, you decided to one-up them and prank both of them

so now it’s you three pulling pranks on each other until rossi or hotch stops all of you

you would go get ice cream or frozen yogurt with spencer (even if you were lactose intolerant)

you’d do the spicy ramen challenge with penelope (i would cry tbh)

if you were to ever carpool with spencer and he’d let you listen to whatever you want

you’d probably start playing rap and sing all of the lyrics (imagine rapping to wap in front of him he’d scream)

if derek was also riding with you two, he would so hype you up

at first, spencer would look at you with wide eyes as he heard every swear word leave your mouth

but one day, you’d play your favorite rap songs again and you hear spencer mutter the lyrics

your jaw literally dropped

imagine karaoke nights with the bau

they would be so fucking fun

it doesn’t matter if you were a good singer or not

the whole team would be cheering for you (especially hotch don’t come for me)

if you were singing an upbeat song, everyone’s dancing

if you were singing a ballad, everyone’s crying and waving their phone’s flashlights

in conclusion, when you weren’t out working cases, you would have the time of your life hanging out with the bau

you were so grateful to have them by your side
