THE JESUS & MARY CHAIN, lounging in leather, 1985.

[spinningspencer]

I'm watching 4x07 rn and I need to rant about Spencer and William Reid

I've seen some theories on here about Spencer being (sexually) abused by his father and, to be honest, that idea never really surprised me

But now I'm watching this episode and those theories don't feel like theories anymore, they feel real (to me, feel free to disagree ofc)

His mom having the feeling that Spencer was in danger when he was young, her having an argument about it with his dad, his dream about his father murdering that kid etc.

But what really struck me was Spencer's insistence on his father killing Riley. You would expect him to be relieved when Garcia tells him there was nothing suspicious in his father's files, but instead he asks if it's possible that his father did it "under the table". Even when Hotch tells him his father doesn't fit the profile, he seems in disbelief rather than relief

As someone who was abused by their dad, I relate to that a little too much. I feel sick when someone tries to convince me he isn't all that bad

I feel like he knows his father did something to him (whether he consciously remembers or not) and he's trying to get his father to pay for that. For whatever reason (maybe he doesn't consciously remember, maybe he's ashamed, maybe it doesn't matter because his father wouldn't be punished for the crime since it happened so long ago) he can't get his father to be convicted for the crime(s) he committed against Spencer, so he hopes there's another crime he can get his father to be punished for

Even when they believe Spencer's father killed the guy that killed Riley, Spencer still wants to run the prints from that guy's glasses, knowing they may very well be his father's. When Derek tells him his father would be going to jail for a long time, he just nods, he wants his father to go to jail, even if it turns out he killed a pedophilic murderer. He just wants to see his father punished.

Even Derek says it: "You're just determined to nail him, aren't you? Doesn't even matter what for." I feel like at this point, Derek might've realised something was up, he was a child victim too, after all

Also, when he went into hypnosis and said "I don't wanna be here" that broke me, I had to pause the episode and cry for a while. That wasn't about his dad telling him "I love you" that was about something worse that happened that night, or in that place (his childhood bedroom)

Of course, all of this could just be because his father left him at a young age, that could be why Spencer resents him so much. I just feel like there's something more at play

FUCK william reid all my homies hate william reid.

i know they try to retcon his reason for abandoning diana and spencer to make him more sympathetic but a few things: a. it's very much a retcon that i think contradicts what's established in revelations. b. i don't think the "better" reason makes him any less of a scumbag and c. i think he's lying to himself about why he left to make himself feel better.

walking out on your ten-year-old son and mentally ill wife because her mental illness is too much for you to handle is pathetic it makes you pathetic. diana doesnt even know what day it is when william leaves and she tries to get him to take spencer with him because she knows deep down she can't take care of him. it's one thing to be overwhelmed—that would be sympathetic and understandable.

i think what people miss sometimes is that it's established that diana was diagnosed with schizophrenia and on medication for it before spencer was even born, as she mentions going off her antipsychotics for the duration of her pregnancy in memoriam. diana's diagnosis is not recent in the flashback in revelations, she was diagnosed at minimum ten years prior. it's not like this is some new, overwhelming thing he's struggling to get used to (not that it being sudden would make abandoning her better). i always gathered that she was fine and had a handle on things at first, but her illness slowly worsened and she became less good about taking her medication.

again. being overwhelmed would be understandable and sympathetic. even considering divorce. but go to counselling. get her the help she clearly needs. especially because you have a child. sure, fine, you're overwhelmed because your wife is seriously struggling to take care of herself and manage her mental illness. but how the hell is your response to that to leave her with your ten-year-old? especially when she's asking you to take him with you because she knows she can't take care of him by herself. how is your response to that to go "bye severely mentally ill wife! bye ten-year-old son! oh, how will you two manage now that the household consists of a woman dealing with severe mental illness and an actual child? idk. figure it out."

and i know it's contradicted by memoriam, but my headcanon has always been that part of the reason he left is because he found a "normal" woman and wanted to go have his picket fence, abandoning the family that needed him in the process.

good job william. you fucked up a perfectly good ten-year-old. look at him, he's parentified now.

Guitar Princes - Part 3 [STYLES Series #004 - Muse (August 2010)]

Ian McCulloch leads Echo & The Bunnymen. His childlike face and up-turned hair with a pouty expression really captured the hearts of 80s UK-loving girls.

Green Gartside, the face of Scritti Politti, was extremely popular in the 1980s. He is still active with his gentle voice and ability that Miles Davis and others would recognise.

The Prince of Neo-acoustic music is this man, Roddy Frame of Aztec Camera. The atmosphere that hasn't changed from his boyish first period to the present is amazing! He is also an excellent guitarist.

Charlie Sexton, aka Charlie Boy, made his solo debut as a boy prodigy at the age of just 17. He has had a long and successful career, recognised by Bob Dylan and others. But he was still beautiful! pic: Koh Hasebe

Johnny Marr is currently the guitarist for The Cribs. He looks like a reliable guitar brother, but back in The Smiths days he had such a sensitive vibe.

Bernard Butler, who wielded his glamourous charm alongside vocalist Brett Anderson during the Suede era.

The Reid brothers Jim (left) and William (right) of The Jesus and Mary Chain, were the ‘Feedback Princes’. They broke up and resumed their activities in 2007, but they are no longer princes!

This is Extreme's Nuno Bettencourt, the electric prince of the metal world. With his exotic face, rich black hair and exceptional technique, he has risen to the status of guitar hero.

Rich Robinson (left) of The Black Crowes shows a completely different personality backing his wild frontman brother Chris (right).

The Jesus and Mary Chain - “Sometimes Always” feat. Hope Sandoval from the album Stoned & Dethroned (1994)

Probably the most accessible JaMC have ever been. No feedback, no distortion—just a straightforward pop song. A duet between Jim Reid and Mazzy Star’s Hope Sandoval, it is, even without the typical hallmarks of their sound, thoroughly JaMC and captures them at perhaps their most charming.
