MORGAN: Why the woods, JJ? JJ: Hmm? MORGAN: Your fear. You said it was of the woods. JJ: (ominous music) Uh, I used to be a camp counsellor when I was a teenager in the woods up in Vermont. I had the night shift. Tuck the girls in and turn off the lights. You know, the typical drill. Everything seemed fine, all the kids were asleep. You know, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, until I noticed that there was some blood on the hallway floor. (reid and morgan make eye contact) So, I followed the blood trail out to the camp director's cabin. Walked up to his bed and he was just lying there underneath his covers, dead. (morgan raises his brows and reid looks at him again) Someone stabbed him. I ran out of there so fast. Out the door, down the hall. I just...I remember it being really dark. Once I got to the door, there was another counsellor there. I guess she heard me scream. They caught the caretaker on his way out of town. I guess he still had the knife on him. Anyway, I guess that's probably when I decided I didn't like the woods. MORGAN: You're serious? JJ: REID: JJ: No. (ominous music stops, jj scoffs) No. I can't...you fell for that? Come on. I don't know why I'm afraid of the woods. I just...I am. (gesturing at Reid) Why is he still afraid of the dark?

jennifer jareau how does it feel to be the funniest person in the world. is it funnier if this is a story she regularly tells to fuck with people or if she came up with it on the spot? i cant decide

bonus:

MORGAN: Yeah, Reid, why are you still afraid of the dark? REID: Because of the inherent absence of light! JJ: (disbelieving, hitting his arm) Oh! MORGAN: JJ, that was pretty good. Just know that paybacks are a bitch. JJ: (sarcastic) I'm shaking.

Whumpiest Whump list

So, I was bored at work I love my followers and thus decided to make this awesome list of TV episodes that show an exceptional amount of whump. Also, I sorted it into categories (You know i love lists and categories, right?)

Now these are the whumpiest whump episodes I could think of. You can just pick any episode and and your whump cravings shall be satisfied. But please feel free to let me know of any more whumpiest episodes and I will add them to the list. I am sure there are a lot more.

Also, at the end I put some shows that have an overall good amount of whump.

I may have overestimated how many whump heavy episodes there actually are, because this list got very, very long. That's why I put it under the cut. Be warned. It really is a long list

Criminal Minds s02e06 The Boogeyman review - or more aptly named, what the fuck are they doing to my emotions?

Episode 06 – The Boogeyman

Hey guys! So last time was super hard for me, because it’s rape and it’s gross and it’s degrading to women and I really hate that. This episode’s title suggests either kids are the victims, which I’m desperately hoping isn’t true, or it’s related to Hallowe’en. Which cannot be good, either.

Fuck. They’re just escalating in seriousness.

Alright, let’s see what happens. I’ve got my Pink Lemonade Schweppes on hand, I’m good.

Oh snap. So we’re still dealing with Elle’s issues. Good. I’m so happy with this season. I love you so much, Criminal Minds.

So Hotch is seriously worried about you, Elle, so fucking what? I’m seriously worried about you, too. And you should be taking a time off because you’re definitely off.

Why are those two terrifying those little kids? Why the fuck are they getting off on it? It’s seriously disturbing.

Fuck. That’s a dead kid. Damn it, why does it have to be like that? Fuck fuck fuck.

Wait. What? Elle had an evaluation, and she didn’t show up? Uh oh.

Plato: “We can easily forgive a child who’s afraid of the dark. The real tragedy of life, is when men are afraid of the light.” Damn, Plato.

Haha, oh my god, Gideon acting like the parent of the BAU team. Like, everyone is whispering about why Elle and Hotch aren’t there if everything seems to be all right, and he’s like,heads down, do your homework. I love this dynamic.

What? He’s killing boys and girls? Damn. Fuck.

Aw, JJ is afraid of the woods? So sweet. And Morgan is scared of the dark, well was, according to him. And Reid still is. Aww I love finding out about them.

Can I just say that I love Texan accents? Makes me all tingly.

So he’s both methodical and full of rage? Damn.

Fuck, he hit her even after she died? Oh my goodness.

So it’s a sick local. Yeesh.

The Buddy System. Sounds smart.

Oh my god, JJ and Morgan talking to the kids is just the cutest thing ever.

Wait a freaking second. Is that Elle Fanning? Damn! I love her.

Aw, she’s looking for her kid’s hat. Just a little reminder of him. So sad.

Wait what? They’re now daring that kid to ring a stranger’s doorbell and run, especially now? Oh god. I really hate the big kid.

Great. They abandoned him. Assholes.

Fuck!

Elle’s on the run. Lovely. Poor thing.

Wait. So another kid is missing. Damn. And the mom is already pregnant with a third son. Damn.

Aw, Gideon trying to talk to kids is the cutest thing ever.

Oh god. Thank you, little boy. I love you.

Seriously? Abandonment issues when they didn’t have no fucking clue about her? So she’s lashing out?  Oh my god. The poor thing.

Right. So they’re actually surprised that a ‘haunted house’ is dark, abandoned, and has no electricity? Where the fuck do they think those rumors stem from?

Oh shit! Poor Reid, that’s just a stuffed reindeer’s head.

Oh, he is there? He’s just not there at the moment? The paper is from today. Okay.

Oh my god, they found the kid! Thank god.

“Only that Finnegan’s house on the hill is like the Bates Motel of Ozona, Texas … Reid, seriously, people that go into that house supposedly never come out. Spooky!” “Garcia, could you at least pretend not to enjoy that rumor so much, since I’ve actually entered the house?” “Sensitive. Sorry.” Oh my god, Garcia, I love you so much! You are such a little tease, leave poor Spencer alone, wouldja?

Wait. What? His wife is missing? Oh my god, I love Kirsten’s spooky voice. That is amazing.

“I got two words for you, my friend: ‘rear window’. That guy probably chopped that lady into delicious little pieces. Think about it. She may have never left the premises. She may still be in the house …” “Garcia, I’m sitting here in the dark alone, thanks.” “While you’re waiting for a potential murderer to come home? It’s kind of dangerous! It’s kind of sexy!” what the fuck is wrong with you, Garcia?

“You’re having creepy fun, I wish I was there!” oh my lord, I needed that ice breaker, oh my god I love this, and I’m typing this half blind cuz I’m closing my eyes in laughter. Oh my god.

Whoa! Morgan, that wasn’t nice! Stop scaring my honey bunny, you hear me? Or I may never give you cuddles again!

There’s still evidence in the house? That sounds kind of stupid. Maybe it isn’t Finnegan?

“When this is all said and done, I’d like to hang his head on my wall.” You do that, Morgan, and then try to stare the guy in the face every time you take a piss. Gross.

A bear trap? Fuck. That’s dangerous, dude.

Oh shit. That’s Finnegan!!!! He’s dead!!! Fuck.

Wait. So he died right after the first murder? Damn.

“If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound if there’s nobody there?” and Morgan is all like, “What the hell are you reading over there?” and it turns out it’s only Spencer’s brilliant mind. I love you.

Wait what? Instead of disappearing she cheated on Finnegan? Damn.

He shut himself off and everybody thought he was a predator? Fuck.

Cream spinach? Gross.

“So we’re looking for a guy who really, really hates spinach.” “Who doesn’t?” oh Spencer, I love you so fucking much.

Hahahaha oh JJ you little bitch! I love you so much! She just spun this whole totally believable story about why she fears the woods, only for it to be a made-up fable? Oh my god, I just found myself falling in love all over again.

“Because of the inherent absence of light!” Reid, that is so abstract, even I don’t buy it.

“JJ, that was pretty good, just know that paybacks are a bitch.” “I’m shaking.” Lol, I wouldn’t want to get on the other end of the payback from Derek … or maybe I would, depends … XD

“I love our relationship, we hardly need words.” Oh my god, Penelope, you just freaking made me day, you gorgeous beauty.

“Oh, baby, that’s so yesterday. I already have the minions working on it. In the meantime, your intrepid hacker found you a match to the other set in the database.” You amazing tech kitten.

What the fuck? It’s the counselor? Shit.

Damn, the wife left.

Fuck! You see the FBI and you run? Guilty!

Oh damn! I love watching Derek tackling men to the ground. Hot.

Wait what! That’s the hat of the dead kid! What the fuck is he doing with it in his bag? What the fuck is going on here? I thought the dude had a kid?

Oh shit. I love Derek so much. He’s just trying to provoke him into confession like a boss! Fuck! Getting under his skin, trying to wheedle the truth out of him with questions, then playing on his insecurities, damn man.

Oh my god! He just broke him! And oh my god, Shemar is fucking amazing! I just can’t with this interview, damn!

Oh shit, Derek is intimidating and hot all at the same time and I love it and it’s not good for me.

What’s up with James’s kid? Why isn’t he at school?

Wait, he’s trying to goad him into confessing by implicating killing his son? Damn.

EpiPen? What’s that?

Why are all of the dairy products sealed with ductape? What the fuck is going on here?

Wait. The kid is the killer now? Oh shit.

Wait what? Oh my god.

Shit. The kid is killing other kids? Oh my goodness.

So the kid who’s supposed to walk with her home in the ‘buddy system’ just abandoned her. And Jeffrey just popped up to ‘help her’ and he has a fucking baseball bat. Shit.

Why did he just throw her book bag? That’s not nice.

Oh I love you, Tracey! You are amazing! What the fuck is wrong with you, Jeff? What the fuck is wrong with you?

God I hate that kid. I mean the character, the kid is probably amazing.

Oh my god, the poor little thing! Jeez.

Ugh, just leave her alone!

Find her! Find her!

Oh thank goodness. Fuck. Oh my god.

His dad is in such a bad place, I totally get him. Poor thing. Damn.

Wait, Spencer is blaming himself for not telling everyone that Elle was off? Oh babycakes. I love you Morgan, I love you for being so amazing to him. I love you.

Whoa! There’s Elle!

What! Elle is leaving? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely. Fucking. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why are you doing this?

Oh my god.

Of course you’re not, you nearly died! Of course you’re not the same person. God.

I can’t believe Elle is just going away. Oh my god.

 Okay, so this episode again was super hard for me cuz it involved kids dying, and it’s super hard for me. Also, the killer ending up being a kid himself? Talk about psychotherapy in major doses. Yikes. And Elle leaving the show? What? That’s not right at all! No. Absolutely not. I will not accept that. You have not just done that, fuck you assholes. I’m kidding of course, I love you guys, your show is amazing, I just get emotionally attached to characters and that is my own personal flaw. Keep doing an amazing job for the next 10 and a half seasons I still have to watch. <3

Alrighty guys, let’s see what they do with Elle’s departure next episode, kay? Laters!

[the-busy-ghost]

TSP S02E06 Thoughts Part 2

Ok I finally got through the other half of the episode:

- I love that Katherine remembers to explain to Rosa that ‘Charles’ is the King of Spain, because you know I don’t really think a Spaniard would know that

- So Katherine just has no personal attendants now whatsoever

- I’m afraid Sleepy Andrew Rothney is not giving off the intimidating vibes they were probably going for

- ‘Men are weak’ - well at least Henry’s finally got the message

- Rosa saying ‘Your mother IS Isabella of Castile’ like surely was? Is she still alive too all of a sudden?

- Charles V really does just pop up out of nowhere doesn’t he, like a little exposition brownie. I think there should be a little bell to announce his presence like ‘Ding-ding, convenient plot device’

- WOW Bessie’s character shift is really not subtle, thanks EF

- THANK you Rosa FINALLY someone told Katherine off for ignoring Mary

- Actually Katherine is a little bit more human in those scenes, which is nice. I really do think Charlotte Hope is doing her best with what she’s been given but god knows how long this will last

- The Evil May Day was always going to be a difficult event to handle, but I do think that they’ve been a bit misleading in a couple of respects, one of which being that while certainly Middle Eastern and African immigrants could have been endangered, the immigrants who would have been particular targets during the Evil May Day (and indeed during the earlier Peasants’ revolt) are much more likely to have been from the traders from the Low Countries and other European merchants. So it’s xenophobia as much as straightforward racism (and if they were going for UKIP voter parallels this would have been even more obvious), but since the writers have already used every European stereotype in the book maybe they weren’t so keen on dealing with this. 

- Oh “Kill Them All!!!!!” that’s original

- Oviedo, the left wing political theorist this show does not deserve (but tbh, he is way too nice to these racists who have definitely threatened his family, like let him punch at least one of them. Why should he have to be the bigger person just to make the writers queen of England feel better)

- Wait so Henry couldn’t have had his wife and child stay in Calais or any English town that wasn’t London until all this blew over? No he just had to bring them through the middle of a rioting capital with minimal protection? 

- Oh my God they’re actually pulling the ‘James IV is still alive so give me a divorce!’ thing, even though they had Katherine return his body to the Scots AND had Margaret identify it with her own eyes, I really didn’t think they’d try using this bit of history after that (part of the reason it might have been believable is that James IV’s body WAS NOT returned to the Scots), really the lack of continuity is HILARIOUS

- Also I wonder if the lack of clergy in ANY of the Scottish scenes was deliberate, since it really means that Meg has to go to Henry and ONLY Henry to ask him to take her case to Rome rather than finding anyone in Scotland to look at her case

- Once again, it is CRIMINAL that they couldn’t find room for all three queens to make their appeal to Henry VIII on behalf of the apprentices, that would probably have been the best moment in the whole show if they’d shown it (and actually might have shown some of that ‘girl power’ they keep talking about)

- Once again why are James IV’s kids here and why are there two boys and two girls (can ANYONE on this show count?)? Are they actually going to be relevant at any point or are they just set-dressing?

- Also btw if these weren’t fake versions of Scottish palaces, you could actually do Margaret Tudor’s little ‘walk’ in this scene from Holyrood Palace to Edinburgh Castle quite easily (and take in the kirk of St Giles on the way), it’s literally the High Street, now called the Royal Mile

- Surprise pregnancy announcement! :O :O :O

- Wolsey’s ‘Does Not Compute’ face in that scene - same, tbh

- Ok Albany, Margaret’s is NOT the first annulment that the pope has granted you should REALLY know this given your own parents’ history

- Also I know Catherine de Medici was Albany’s niece, so he did have family links to the pope, it wasn’t necessarily a pre-requisite for Margaret to appeal to Rome. As I said above there WERE other people in Scotland who could be her advocate, and actually had legal training

- But I suppose it is nice that wee Jehan is everybody’s friend, I hope this doesn’t come back to bite Margaret in the arse.

- And to finish off, some ominous Latin music

In all honesty I really don’t mind some of this show- the writing is ABYSMAL but the actors are doing their best and the costume department are serving some looks (with the exception of the weird French hoods and all of the pointless tartan) And the thing about bad historical media is that it can be kind of educational pointing out the bits that are really inaccurate (and also it’s kind of fun, I AM petty I will admit this). But honestly Katherine of Aragon deserved so much better, as did all of the actors in this show.

[coolforcats]

As of S02E06 - Blaze of Glory everyone in Justified FX is both stupid and/or insane with the ironic exception of Boyd Crowder. 

**Spoiler Alert**

US Deputy Marshall Raylan Givens - Mostly smart except for the small problem of him sleeping with his ex-wife while she’s still married. And misappropriating federal resources to run checks on people for her. And stealing evidence (3 x $100 bills) for her. Anything where Winona is involved basically and add in his disturbing propensity for shooting.

Winona Hawkins - Sleeping with Raylan while married (look this just causes a whole host of problems in TV), and stealing evidence from the US Marshalls.

Ava Crowder - She shot her husband (justified to be fair), then started sleeping with Raylan despite his involvement in Boyd’s shooting causing Boyd to be released. Refuses to leave Kentucky after Bo Crowder gets out, I mean really.

The Entire Bennet Family - Does this really need to be explained? Coover is just plain stupid. Dickie is stupid and insane leading to plans such as stealing OxyContin and getting the Marshalls involved. Doyle is more intelligent but insane for implicating himself in his brothers crimes. Mags is intelligent but insane for many reasons, breaking Coover’s fingers is just the start.

Wynn Duffy - Just good old plain insane. I’m reasonably sure he can be diagnosed with psycopathy and I mean like full on Hare Psychopathy Checklist - Revised diagnosis.

Arlo Givens - He scams so many people. Drug dealers, the soldier with the grenade, his son, the US Marshall Service, the Crowder family, his wife Helen (the most dangerous person on this list).

Helen - Married Arlo. Either stupid or insane I haven’t worked out which yet.

Dewey Crowe - So dumb, so very very dumb. Raylan Givens calls him dumb.

The Crowders (except Boyd) - Bowman got shot, statistically a dumb move. Johnny betrayed Bo, statistically also a dumb move. Bo started trying to control Boyd and got in deep with a Miami drug cartel, neither of which are smart in any way but at least the Miami cartel are safer than Boyd. Statistically.

Cheif Deputy Art Mullen - Willingly employs Raylan Givens. For a given definition of willing.

Boyd Crowder - Okay so he’s a criminal but hear me out, all his plans are amazing. Sure he gets caught at the end of the pilot but there is so little evidence against him that without Raylan and Ava’s testimony he’s out and there is no use pursuing a case against him. While he’s in prison he turns his life around and it sticks. Or at least it is at the point where I’m at, the heist of a heist at the mine not-withstanding, so he’s not stupid. He’s not insane by any armchair diagnosable mental disorders. He’s certainly not a psychopath, the heavy drinking implies that he’s struggling to accept other people’s opinions of his attitude change meaning he certainly has some strong feelings to work out.

In conclusion, Boyd Crowder is the only sane member of this group. Feel free to change my mind. No spoilers though please. I’ve stayed surprisingly spoiler free for this.

[frankiebirds]

so. potentially slightly controversial opinion amongst elle fans: i really like her departure.

i think it's very thoughtfully written. the fatal flaw that contributes to her departure (her impulsivity) is shown and named in the very first episode. the trauma she suffers in the season one finale also contributes significantly, and i believe the implications i and others picked up on that there was something related to SA in her background were intentional, and even though we never got confirmation on that, elle does still express a specific hatred of sex offenders and briefly relates to the vigilante unsub in a real rain.

it makes sense. it's tragic, but it makes sense. elle has a special hatred for sex offenders. at the time of the episode, she's recently suffered a trauma wherein her home was invaded and she was, in a way, violated. (although no sexual assault happens, a man shooting a woman and then reaching into her wound, coupled with her later feeling that she can sometimes still feel his hand there, does have heavy and likely intentional imagery paralleling sexual assault). it's entirely plausible that a case concerning a man who is both a home invader and a rapist would push her to the edge.

i don't know how soon the writers knew lola glaudini would be leaving the show, but whether they knew late in season one and set up foreshadowing, or they knew later and referred to elle's previous statements, implied backstory, and canonical trauma in writing her departure, i think they did a really good job. a long-running show like criminal minds is pretty much guaranteed to have a lot of cast turnover and i wish it was this well-written more often.

if i could change one thing about the way elle's departure was written, i could have used a little more nuance, maybe changed the way some of the characters spoke about her, and referenced her more often later on. (when i say "the way some of the other characters spoke about her" i am not saying that i wish all the characters had gone "what elle did was fine. that rapist deserved to die." i wish we had gotten to see varied opinions amongst the team (without any of them being treated as having The Wrong Opinion) and that she had been discussed with more sympathy given the lead-up to her choices). referencing departed characters more often is something i wish was done in general. i wouldnt want it to be every episode, because that would be obnoxious, or even that often at all, but sometimes it feels like when the characters remember someone who left the team, it's because the writers remembered, if that makes sense?)
