"Once, when Blyze learned she was late for Valentine's Day, she gave me a heart... I don't know where she got it, but it's a nice gesture."
Lilac says that as if it isn't concerning.

Wenclairtober 2024, Day 13 - Nail Polish
Enid: So lemme get this straight. You have the nail polish I lost.
Wednesday: Correct.
Enid: But you’re refusing to hand it over—
Wednesday: I am not refusing. I merely require—
Enid: Excuse you! Still talking here.
Wednesday: *snaps mouth shut*
Enid: *huffs* Now as I was saying, you’re refusing to hand it over unless I, and I quote—
Enid: Suffer being trapped together with our limbs tragically entangled like sunbaked earthworms, exposed to one another’s dermal filth—
Enid: —and unable to escape the miasma of our mingled odors for a cruel minimum of fifteen minutes.
Wednesday: Thirty minutes.
Enid: *rolls eyes* Fine, thirty minutes. Is that all?
Wednesday: *nods* Those are my demands.
Enid: …
Enid: Wednesday Friday Addams, are you seriously holding my nail polish hostage so you can ransom it for snuggles?
Wednesday: If by ‘snuggles’ you mean an extended period of close physical contact provided under duress, then yes.
Enid faces away from Wednesday under the guise of peering at her own bed. She reigns in her delightfully amused smile and turns back around.
Enid: Whatever. So my bed or—
Wednesday: *already in her own bed*
Enid: —yours.
Wednesday: *glares*
Enid: *bites lip*
Wednesday: *snarls* Get. In.
Enid: 🥰
— The next week at the Hummer’s shed. —
Eugene: Hey Wednesday?
Wednesday: Yes, Eugene?
Eugene: That new hive you brought in, hive six— why is it full of bottles of nail polish instead of bees?
Wednesday: I required a place to hide them from Enid.
Eugene: Uhhh… okay. Are hives seven through ten the same?
Wednesday: Obviously.
Eugene: Right. Um. So like— not to be dense, but why?
Wednesday: The frequency with which Enid misplaces her polish has increased dramatically. I must have a surplus prepared.
Enid: *outside shed* Oh Willa, are you in there? Have you seen my bottle of Lunar Lilac? I am like— oh so forgetful and just totes lost it!
Wednesday: Case in point. Now if you would excuse me, I have some more ransoming to do.
Eugene: 😧

Wearing pink [S. R.]
Spencer Reid x bimbo!reader
word count: 2.7k
request: Hear me out... Spencer introducing bimbo f!reader to the squad! 😭🩷
A/N: Honestly, I had never written anything like this and I hope it is the correct idea of a bimbo. I based her on some TV characters, so (if you're a fan of this type of reader) I hope you like it!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Baby, you're so nervous,” Spencer giggled, listening to the click of your heels from one side of the apartment to the other to check that everything was in order.
“I'm not nervous, I just want everything to look nice” you complained. Your gaze went to your boyfriend, who was wearing an elegant suit that you had bought for him last month, and you noticed that his tie was a little crooked. You immediately went in front of him and your hands acted on their own to accommodate it, as they had done so many times.
It was the first time Spencer's unit mates would see you and you wanted to make the best impression of all. You kept asking if the dishes looked good, if your skirt was smooth, if your hair was combed, if your makeup looked good. And each time he just smiled and nodded, recording how precious you were.
Honestly, the fact that the team found out about your existence was mere coincidence, the result of an unfortunate event that ended up unmasking Spencer. He had spent the night with you, since the cases had kept him too busy the last few weeks, and when he left the room, he only gave you a kiss on the forehead so as not to disturb your sleep. Although he wasn't very hungry, his body was in desperate need of coffee, so he opened your cupboard for something to take back to the office. Everything in your kitchen, which you hardly ever used, was pink, lilac, or any pastel variation of a few others, so it was a relief for him to find a single black thermos. Without paying much attention, he took it, poured the hot liquid, and then walked out.
There was no case, yet, so he sat down at his desk after waving to Morgan and Emily. He felt his phone vibrate and he thought it was a message from JJ, but he found that it was you who was contacting him.
Hey, are you leaving without saying goodbye? 
He smiled inadvertently and apologized saying that you looked so pretty that he hadn't wanted to disturb your calm. I could almost imagine you blushing from your soft bed.
Okay then. Good luck today, handsome. 
Love u xx
"No way! Are you a plastic girl?" Garcia yelled, from his partner's side. Spencer jumped a little when he heard her and it seemed she had caught everyone's attention.
“A what?”
"Your cup" the woman stretched out her hand to pick up said object and showed it to the rest: it had a bright pink print, with some images of a blonde girl and various objects, including a text written with something like newspaper clippings. which enunciated Burn Book.
"Where did you get that, Reid?"
"Who is she?"
“It's Regina George, from the movie Mean Girls. You don’t know her?" Prentiss muttered and at first, he immediately denied it.
“On Wednesdays we wear pink,” Garcia quoted, hoping he would have a clue, and again he showed he didn't know what they were talking about. But after taking a closer look at it, he suddenly remembered that he had looked at a poster with her somewhere in your room and it all made sense.
“When I took it, it was black”
"It's probably one of those magical cups that reveal the image with heat"
“Thermochromism?”
"I guess that's the scientific term"
"So where did you get it from? Did it just show up at your house by chance?"
"No, it was at my girlfriend's house"
At that, Emily's eyes widened, Garcia gasped loudly, and Morgan, who inconveniently just took a gulp of his coffee, almost choked on the hot liquid.
Penelope almost took the doctor by the neck to ask him why he had omitted such important information and he only shrugged his shoulders and replied that he had never commented on it because they had never asked.
It didn't take long for Garcia to yell at the missing team members what they had just found out and pretty soon JJ and Rossi were also gathered around the man to find out what was going on. To everyone's dismay, Hotch interrupted almost immediately, and they didn't manage to ask Spencer any questions. And he said it would be better if they were that curious to ask her themselves.
“Reid, I swear you don't even introduce us to that girl I'll never talk to you again” Garcia had threatened him, clearly exaggerating just to convince him.
When Spencer saw you again, he filled you in on the whole situation and asked if you were okay with hosting a unit dinner, to which you happily agreed.
"Everything looks immaculate, you don't have to worry," he assured you, taking both of your hands and leaning in to kiss you.
"But what if they don't like me?"
"What reason would they have for that, huh?" he insisted, holding your face in his hands. He really liked your lip gloss, it always tasted delicious and made your lips look flawless. 
"Because they're like mega-cool detectives and I... well, I won't even know what to tell them."
"Let them ask the questions, I assure you they will be dying to know everything about you" he smiled at you, quite confident that the evening would go perfectly. It was the first time Spencer had introduced the team to a couple, so they would behave prudently. Or at least so he hoped.
The sound of the doorbell caught your attention and you practically jumped towards the door to open it for whoever was there, but not before asking your boyfriend for the thousandth time to make sure you looked good. When you opened it, you saw a blonde woman and a bald man who, from Spencer's stories, you assumed were Penelope Garcia and Derek Morgan. They asked your name and you agreed, finishing verifying that it was the place with the presence of your friend behind you.
"Hello! We thought we had the wrong house” she sighed, completely nervous, and Morgan didn't even say hello because he had been stunned to see you.
You were very pretty, generally speaking, you were wearing a white skirt, a tight top, and a light baby pink sweater, plus huge heels that made you almost level with your boyfriend. You were like a model and it's not that he didn't trust his friend's flirting skills, but that you had simply exceeded his expectations of him.
You received them with a hug and a kiss on the cheek, while they secretly observed the place. Hotch, Rossi, Prentiss, and JJ soon arrived, in exactly that order, and when they were all assembled, they took seats at the table. Spencer helped you serve dinner, which you had ordered from your favorite restaurant, and pretty soon all of you were eating and drinking the wine that David Rossi had brought as a gift.
Although the conversation had been pleasant during the first few minutes, it was obvious that everyone wanted to ask you questions, quite surprised to see the type of girl you were and how they never imagined that their friend would fit in with someone like that.
"So since when are you guys dating?" Emily murmured, trying to be nice, but also dying of curiosity.
"What will they be now, love? About six months?” you said, reaching out to hold his hand on the table.
“Six months, fourteen days, and seventeen hours”
"He's the mathematician here, so you can listen to him" you joked and the others laughed. The courtship time somewhat dismayed the team, because, although they didn’t blame him, they wished they had known sooner.
"And how did you two meet?"
“Oh, for my dad. Spencer went to give a conference to his police officers in New York a while ago and he asked him for a private consultation on a case that had been giving everyone a headache. When he helped him figure it out, Dad was so grateful that he invited him to dinner so he could meet our family. My parents loved him so I thought of it as a sign and we kept in touch after that."
"Now I understand why he kept looking at his phone and smiling in his spare time," Morgan muttered to embarrass him, like an older brother would, and the team laughed at the memory.
"And who is your father?" Rossi asked. Reid had never mentioned what had happened, but still you seemed familiar to the man, as if he had seen you somewhere before.
“He worked for a few years as a police chief here in Virginia, but now last year he got promoted to the commissioner or something; his name is Joseph Sanders”
You probably had no idea how important that position was to police officers, but they all exchanged glances as if you had just told them that you were the daughter of the President of the United States himself. Rossi immediately snapped his fingers as he winced, telling you that of course he knew your father and that he had seen you when you were a girl of maybe ten years old. The others only weighed in on the fact that Reid was now the commissioner's son-in-law.
“Hey and, no offense, but how did you fall in love with our boy wonder? He's always been a bit shy”
Now it was your boyfriend who was worried that they might make him uncomfortable or point out the clear difference between the two of you, but your carefree giggles put him at ease every time.
"It is enough to see that face to do it, don't you think?" you responded affectionately and the girls smiled at your response.
"Actually, she called me to invite me to have coffee after dinner with her father and although at first I thought it was hopeless I realized that she liked spending time with me and that's why I kept asking her out”
“He was so sweet. Flowers, chocolates, dinners. The whole package"
“Yes, well, it's that I did a little research on the best courtship methods and found common factors like that in most of them. It was only necessary to combine it with the right environment and make some modifications to them so that they were pleasant in front of you. Did you know that in the 19th century it was well seen that men…?”
"Reid," Derek interrupted, as a signal for him to stop rambling, and his friends smiled at the doctor's soft apology.
“Half the time I don't understand what he's saying, but I love hearing him talk,” you said sincerely. He had never taken that as an offense, because, although many people didn't understand his talks about him either, at least you always paid attention to him "I honestly don't know how a person can have a brain of that size"
“In fact, brains don’t vary in size but rather in areas of development, so it is incorrect to say that one person has a bigger brain than another. In such a case, one person has a more developed brain than the other”
The group looked at him accusingly again and he was about to feel guilty, but your lips crashing a kiss on his cheek considerably improved his mood.
After many more questions, everyone was able to realize that you and Spencer couldn't be more than complete opposites. You loved everything that Reid didn't know and he knew a lot of things that didn't matter to you. There were no books in your house, if glossy magazines counted for anything, and Spencer didn't even have a modern cell phone. Your house vibrated with pink and expensive things, while he only cared that there would be a bed to sleep in when he got home. But even with everything you looked really in love and the team wondered how that was possible.
Although you tremendously admired the man's capabilities that wasn’t the most important thing to you, but his wonderful beauty of him. He was someone who drew attention with his eccentricity, that every time he walked into a room he left a mark and someone many women wished they had, which he didn't even notice. And by becoming your boyfriend, without any explicit sense of ownership or anything, he had become all yours.
You liked holding his hand in the streets, you liked that he came to work and the clients were surprised when he kissed you, that everyone said how lucky you were to have found a man like that. Besides, he had passed one of the most important tests: he had your parents' approval, which was usually not an easy thing to come by.
And right now, it seemed that you were winning the sympathy of your boyfriend's family too, because the fact of seeing him so happy by your side was reason enough for them to like you and, therefore, also approve of you.
When it was time to eat dessert, the girls invited you to go shopping with them one day and all the compliments from the men were related to your last name, even astonished that Spencer now belonged to the spheres of high police society. They told you many things about themselves and you, with some effort, tried to take it all in.
"It was a great pleasure meeting you, you can come back here any day you like," you said to say goodbye, once the night was already quite advanced and they decided that the best thing (for the comfort of both the hosts and the guests) would be to leave. 
“The pleasure was ours, Y/N”
Just like at the beginning, they kissed your cheek, and one by one they left, giving you kind words of thanks, until only you and Spencer were left.
"How was I?" you immediately asked your boyfriend, who was already looking at you out of the corner of his eye with a smile.
“Perfect”
"You think so?"
"I know it" he assured you, moving closer to you to hold you by the waist and causing your skirt to ride a little higher to the height of your butt "They loved you"
“But can you believe your friend Emily was wearing flats with that dress? It's not right and I didn't mean to be rude by mentioning it, but I died when I saw it” you started to babble, still under Spencer's grasp “And your friend Penelope has such a…quirky style. She wears colors that shouldn't mix, but somehow it looks good on her. And your boss, Aaron, shouldn't wear a suit jacket with a casual shirt. The others were relatively good, but the next time I see Jennifer I'll be sure to treat her to a moisturizer for her skin”
"And leaving that aside, did they at least make a good impression on you?" he laughed. He wasn't upset with you, it was inevitable that you would notice that kind of 'signs of bad taste' as you called them.
“Oh, they are adorable. You can tell that they love you very much, everyone speaks with admiration of you. Even your friend Derek, even though he tried to annoy you every so often."
“Yeah, I'll make him pay” he muttered under his breath, making you smile.
Carefully you reached up to reach his lips with a kiss and he sighed pathetically into your mouth as you clung to his body. Your skin was so smooth wherever he touched, as if you were a delicate piece of porcelain in his big hands.
“I hope you had a good time”
“Of course I did, sweetie. I already told you, you were perfect"
Perfect. You loved that he described you that way.
"Do you have to go home?"
"Probably. Why?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just thought maybe we could go to my room. I bought something new that I think you'll like” you said innocently, while you held him by the tie that you had arranged so carefully at the beginning of the evening. Upon hearing this, he wasted no time and carried you in a bridal pose, taking you there while you laughed out loud.
No one questioned Spencer when he arrived later than usual the next morning, smelling of cherry shampoo and with a suspicious purplish mark, knowing that the only one to blame for that would have to be you.

Correction! FREE MY GIRL FROM THE E/RIEL-SHACKLES!
They want her to be stuck with Nesta who used to coddle her and says she's like a dog. With Feyre who thinks she is pleasent enough company, but not a person she would go to with problems nor advice.
They think she has a crush on Azriel after he hurt her feelings, and wounded her pride before thinking of another woman's joy and how he had to stop himself from smiling at the thought of it. His chest didn't spark at Elain's joy when she received the necklace right in front of him, but at the mere image of Gwyn's. Elain returned the necklace and has not spoken to him since. But they caim she still wants him like a desperate woman when they know damn well she said fuck that guy and his bitchy ass necklace. She could spend decades in the Night Court and she wouldn't look twice at him.🥰
They want her to be on her fucking knees for the man who finds it unfair that she isn't his mate when Rhysand got Feyre and Cassian got Nesta. Who couldn't tell Rhysand that he was over Mor. They want her to be with the man who doesn't want her exposed to the trove after she expressed her desire to do something and be helpful.
Ya'll know they would be on Lucien's ass had he been the one who said it, but Lucien would never. And so they glaze over it, pretending that he is protective and cares so much for her! No gurl he's coddling her like a child, something she doesn't want😍
They want her to either reject the bond and forever feel the consequences of it or have Lucien die when Feyre remarks on it being the worst feeling she has ever felt after Rhys dies for like 30 seconds. spoiler alert
They want her wearing fugly night court black dresses when YOU KNOW she changed out of that dress at the first given opportunity. And she has never been seen wearing black again. Maybe because she doesn't like it?? Ever thought of that?
They claim that they had to make her look bad so that Nesta looks good in comparison (feminism has left the chat) and that they purposely used a ugly dress when it's the color itself that Cassian AND Nesta remarks on looking bad on her. They also never mentioned having that kind of plan like wtf??!
"No matter how much she claims to be a part of this court, it sucked the life out of her." She claims and claims to be a part of the Night Court, but it just doesn't work... YIKES! Elain who had been so full of light, so full of life. It has significantly dimmed. "She used to love balls."... not anymore :(
"But Elain smells like jasmine and jasmine blooms at night so she loves it here😋" Yeah and Feyre smells like lilac which blooms in SPRING omfg...🤦‍♀️
Also☝️🤓, they forget the whole quote where Elain's scent is mentioned: "Her sister's delicate scent of jasmine and honey lingered in the red-stoned hall like a promise of spring"
Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking... but "I thought it was pretty obvious."
Me thinks:

Hello! Happy June! It's Pride and I have another question (6/30)
Okay, today we are back with flags, this time of the gender variety.
Agender: Created by Salem X ("Ska") in 2014 (Tumblr user formerly known as Transrants), this flag consists of 7 horizontal stripes [black, grey, white, green, white, grey, black] The black and white represent the absence of gender (in different ways), the grey represents semi-genderless and the light green represents non-binary gender.
Bigender: There are actually quite a lot of widely used bigender flags,(like more than you think), largely due to the original flag creator being accused of transphobia (among other things). So I have picked the probably second most common [after the original]. This one was created by camp-MLM on tumblr in 2019 and it has 7 stripes [Blue, light blue, white, lilac, white, light pink, pink], and the colours dont actually have a set meaning, with the original poster giving an idea of meaning, but leaving the majority of it up to each persons own feelings with their experience basically.
Demiboy, Demigirl, and Deminonbianry: These flags were designed by the same person Salem X, who also happens to be the person who designed the Agender Flag. All three flags consist of 7 horizontal stripes [Grey, Light Grey, Blue(boy)/Pink(girl)/Yellow(nonbinary), White, Blue/Pink/Yellow, Light Grey, and Grey] The pops of colour in the middle are to represent the aspects of either masculinity/feminity/nonbinary(-inity?) experienced by demigender people, while the greys are to represent the partial connection to gender.
Genderfluid: This flag was created by JJ Poole in 2012, and they designed it to "encompass all gender identities". It has 5 horizontal stripes. [Pink(Femininity), White(all genders), Purple(interlinking/crossover of femininity and masculinity), Black(lack of gender(s)), Blue(masculinity)]. However, in 2021, LGBTA wiki user "FruitIndividual" designed an alternative flag, and it is rapidly catching on, so you might see this one instead, it consists of 9 horizontal WAVY stripes (meant to represent the fluidity of this gender) [Colours Pink, Light Pink, White, Lilac, Purple, Lilac, White, Light Blue, Blue]
Genderqueer: This flag was designed in 2011 by Marilyn Roxie. The flag has 3 horizontal stripes. [Lavender(androgyny/meshing of masc and fem), White(Neutral), Chartreuse(Outside the binary)]
Non-Binary: Kye Rowan created this flag in 2014 to be flown alongside the genderqueer flag (NOT replace it). This flag has 4 horizontal stripes. [Yellow (Genders outside the binary), White (All/many genders), Purple (Genders which are a mix of masc and fem) and Black (Lack of gender)]
Transgender: Monica Helms designed this flag in 1999, and she said that the idea came to her early one morning; "When you wake up, and you're still sort of groggy and everything but you're starting to think, and your mind is starting to fill with images - that's when it came to me" and also called it "divine intervention". She brought the first trans flag to the 2000 Phoenix Pride Parade, and it is now in the possession of the Smithsonian. The flag consists of 5 horizontal stripes, [Blue, Pink, White, Pink, Blue], the pink and blue stand for girls and boys while the white represents thouse who are transitioning, intersex people and people who feel like they have no/neutral gender. A quote of hers i love about the design is "The pattern is such that no matter which way you fly it, it is always correct, signifying us finding correctness in our lives"
So, since we talked about gender pride flags today, im going to ask a slightly personal question (but it is vague on purpose, share as much or as little as you want), but please describe your gender WITHOUT using any traditional words, so for example, personally i would describe my gender as an out of body experience, like im witnessing my gender from below me in a hospital bed while i float aimlessly near the ceiling. <- have fun with it, use whatever comes to mind first, anything but traditional gender words please!
Happy Pride 🌈 🎉
🌻 <- my gender this is me

Ooooh I love this one I love seeing people describe their gender!
For me I think it's like being in a bedroom, and it's dark, and there's these two muffled voices coming from behind the wall, just muffled enough so you can't understand what they're saying. Like being a child and hearing your parents still talk downstairs. Sometimes you can make out one sentence, but never more than a few words. Something like that at least hahaha

The flag consists of 5 horizontal stripes, [Blue, Pink, White, Pink, Blue], the pink and blue stand for girls and boys while the white represents thouse who are transitioning, intersex people and people who feel like they have no/neutral gender. A quote of hers i love about the design is "The pattern is such that no matter which way you fly it, it is always correct, signifying us finding correctness in our lives"
So, since we talked about gender pride flags today, im going to ask a slightly personal question (but it is vague on purpose, share as much or as little as you want), but please describe your gender WITHOUT using any traditional words, so for example, personally i would describe my gender as an out of body experience, like im witnessing my gender from below me in a hospital bed while i float aimlessly near the ceiling. <- have fun with it, use whatever comes to mind first, anything but traditional gender words please!
Happy Pride 🌈 🎉
my gender is nonexistent except for 1 hour every month where i stare at it in the mirror like a confused dog and then get bored and chew my tail instead

Hello! Happy June! It's Pride and I have another question (6/30)
Okay, today we are back with flags, this time of the gender variety.
Agender: Created by Salem X ("Ska") in 2014 (Tumblr user formerly known as Transrants), this flag consists of 7 horizontal stripes [black, grey, white, green, white, grey, black] The black and white represent the absence of gender (in different ways), the grey represents semi-genderless and the light green represents non-binary gender.
Bigender: There are actually quite a lot of widely used bigender flags,(like more than you think), largely due to the original flag creator being accused of transphobia (among other things). So I have picked the probably second most common [after the original]. This one was created by camp-MLM on tumblr in 2019 and it has 7 stripes [Blue, light blue, white, lilac, white, light pink, pink], and the colours dont actually have a set meaning, with the original poster giving an idea of meaning, but leaving the majority of it up to each persons own feelings with their experience basically.
Demiboy, Demigirl, and Deminonbianry: These flags were designed by the same person Salem X, who also happens to be the person who designed the Agender Flag. All three flags consist of 7 horizontal stripes [Grey, Light Grey, Blue(boy)/Pink(girl)/Yellow(nonbinary), White, Blue/Pink/Yellow, Light Grey, and Grey] The pops of colour in the middle are to represent the aspects of either masculinity/feminity/nonbinary(-inity?) experienced by demigender people, while the greys are to represent the partial connection to gender.
Genderfluid: This flag was created by JJ Poole in 2012, and they designed it to "encompass all gender identities". It has 5 horizontal stripes. [Pink(Femininity), White(all genders), Purple(interlinking/crossover of femininity and masculinity), Black(lack of gender(s)), Blue(masculinity)]. However, in 2021, LGBTA wiki user "FruitIndividual" designed an alternative flag, and it is rapidly catching on, so you might see this one instead, it consists of 9 horizontal WAVY stripes (meant to represent the fluidity of this gender) [Colours Pink, Light Pink, White, Lilac, Purple, Lilac, White, Light Blue, Blue]
Genderqueer: This flag was designed in 2011 by Marilyn Roxie. The flag has 3 horizontal stripes. [Lavender(androgyny/meshing of masc and fem), White(Neutral), Chartreuse(Outside the binary)]
Non-Binary: Kye Rowan created this flag in 2014 to be flown alongside the genderqueer flag (NOT replace it). This flag has 4 horizontal stripes. [Yellow (Genders outside the binary), White (All/many genders), Purple (Genders which are a mix of masc and fem) and Black (Lack of gender)]
Transgender: Monica Helms designed this flag in 1999, and she said that the idea came to her early one morning; "When you wake up, and you're still sort of groggy and everything but you're starting to think, and your mind is starting to fill with images - that's when it came to me" and also called it "divine intervention".
