#yapping again

i think we don't talk about what the driving force behind each batcher is enough. like if u think abt it hunter often acts out of fear ( not cowardice , fear that his ppl will get hurt duh ) , while crosshair often acts out pain , tech acts with logic , wrecker with love , and echo ? echo acts out of being true hater

Not to have another take that’s slightly to the left again so quickly but, in my opinion, it’s less that one plans and one doesn’t and more that Lucanis is the risk-taker Illario is not (up until Zara) and, really, their mutual-but-opposite control issues are fascinating to compare and contrast. And by that I mean that Lucanis’ control issues are primarily internal where Illario’s are external and what that says about how they internalized everything they were taught.

There is no Criminal Minds without Reid, Garcia, and Morgan. Like, the other members are extremely important, and I love them. JJ has my whole heart, Elle was peak, and she got even better in her final episodes, absolutely love Prentiss, Hotch is great, his departure definitely impacted the show heavily, anyone who's seen my last few posts knows I'm a proud Gideon stan, Rossi is hilarious, I love all of them.

But Reid, Garcia, and Morgan are truly, in my eyes, the heart of the show. They are such emotionally compelling characters, with such fun energy, and unique roles on the team.

Reid is a genius, but he was also the youngest and most naive of the team at the start of the series, as well as the most empathetic. He's an amazing asset with his eidetic memory, and his extensive knowledge on the symbolism, and literature that resonates with unsubs enough for them to incorporate them into their murders. His passionate info-dumping is so enjoyable to watch, and the best thing about him is that he may be socially awkward, and introverted, and very autistic coded, he still has such a deep understanding towards unsubs with tragic backgrounds. He grew up taking care of his paranoid schizophrenic mom. His dad walked out on them, he was bullied in his adolescence, these cases feel personal for him, and while he doesn't try to save them from appropriate consequence, he sees humanity in them, and reaches out to offer help when he can, even towards the man who tortured him. Tobias beat him, drugged him to the point of killing him before he resuscitated him, forced him to pick one out of a batch of people to die, else they would all die, then was forced to dig his own grave. Even then, he still wanted to help Tobias. He didn't just see a murderer, he saw the kid who was physically and emotionally abused by his religious fanatic father, who turned to drugs to cope with the trauma, and is haunted by his dad after his death. Reid is not just "quirky", he's such a complex character, played so uniquely by Matthew Gray Gubler, i don't think anyone can fill his role, and bring the same vulnerability to an otherwise dorky and eccentric goober.

Garcia is MY FUCKING QUEEN BRO. She's such an amazing take on the "guy in the chair" character. She's colorful, she's silly, she wears her heart on her sleeve, and she's such a great contrast to the work that she does. She has to see absolutely horrific shit everyday, and while the others see it firsthand, she has to sit in this dark, isolated room, dig around the darkest depths of the Internet, watch footage of horrible things being done to people, and she still holds this team together in a way no one else does. Her wit, her sense of humor, and God, I love me a woman who plays nerdy ass mmo RPGs and thirsts over poorly animated 3D knights (The Fisher King arc). In The Fisher King, she's partially the reason for them getting hacked, and her burning regret through the episode is so heartbreaking, cause she so clearly felt like an idiot for playing that game through their room. Yes, it was stupid (even though in my eyes personally, Garcia can never do anything wrong ever) , but to see her so messed up about it through the rest of the arc, skipping the banter with Morgan, freaking out about Elle getting shot, and the praise from Gideon visually taking weight off her shoulders, AEUGHH. WHEN GARCIA IS SAD, I'M SAD TOO. If Criminal Minds isn't the same without Reid, then a Criminal Minds without Garcia is fucking decimated. She's the emotional core of this team. While other characters who fill her role can be snarky, and eccentric, none of them can ever live up to Garcia. She's so openly loving and affectionate, she brings so much optimism despite how horrible it is to work in this field, she's never afraid to show how she really feels, and I love everything about her.

now TRIGGER WARNING, MASSIVE ONE FOR CSA

Morgan leaving Criminal Minds genuinely fucking sucks. I know why he left, he was going to be a leading character in S.W.A.T, but past that episode, I refuse to watch, unless it's an episode where he shows up again. He's probably the most charismatic character on this show, and insanely attractive at that. Not just attractive in the "oh he's so fine" kinda way, but in his mannerisms, how he treats his team, how openly protective he is of the people he loves, and most of all, how he grew from his past. His childhood was absolutely horrible. He grew up in Chicago, living in poverty, and acted out after the death of his father. The only way he was able to get out was through the neighborhood youth center, where he was groomed and sexually abused by its sponsor, who continued his behavior with other young boys after Morgan left to pursue his career. The episode in which we see the neighborhood he grew up in, and meet the struggling kids who are the prime targets for a murderer who's been around since Morgan's childhood, and his confrontation with both a kid who saw him as a borderline legend, and the youth center sponsor who abused the both of them, is soul crushing. The thing I want to elaborate on though is his confrontation with the kid. He's a teenager, and he sees this sponsor as the only way to get out of this neighborhood, and actually have a future, after all, he's the one who cleared Morgan's record so he could join the FBI. Before Morgan confronts the perpetrator, knowing fully that he was their murderer, he goes out of his way to find this kid first, and give him the hope that he needs, and an understanding that no one else showed him. Morgan is such a strong character, and seeing him in tears by the end, standing face to face with this disgusting person who hurt him so badly as a child, and denying him any credit he claimed for how successful he is now was like seeing your older brother cry for the first time. He's someone so reliable, and playful, and so damn charming, but there's a lot more beneath the surface. I love the way he plays off of other characters too, like his dynamic with Garcia being so flirtatious while also purely platonic hilarious. They match each other's freak so hard. He treats Reid like a younger brother, and refers to him as such in his last episode. It's stated by Hotch that there are very few people in the world he trusts, and you can tell that his team are part of those people, he means so much to me, chat.

Again, this isn't to say that the other characters aren't important, but these three have the most unique storylines and roles on this team, that taking them out of the story takes out the majority of its best aspects. Genuinely I will not watch the show when I get to Morgan's last episode, that is the end of the series for me. The rest are bonus episodes

It's a tragedy that she'll never know of the armies of RDR2 playing lesbians that would lay down their lives to defend her, because she was too focused on Mister Pisshit Mcplans™️ to even look a little to the left to see the sea of cheering sapphics that lay before her spanning out on the horizon, me included. i would fall to the ground and start shaking like i'd been tasered if i saw her walk by in front of me in real life. just completely falling to my knees in walmart. alas. my wife. my poor little meow meow. i need to print out this picture and stick it to my wall. 😞 silica packet

So I had to renew my library membership because it was going to expire. It made me think how the library is so important to me.

I've seen people say shit like "do people even go to libraries anymore?" Or "libraries aren't needed anymore" and that is just plain wrong.

Libraries are absolutely vital for so many reasons and we should care about keeping them.

For me, personally the library really is a lifeline. Even though I've plenty of books at home, I still get books from the library. They have a wider variety, you can download ebooks from an app that is connected to the library (which I do). It's great because I actually save money on books, I'll often read a book/ebook from the library and if I really really like it I'll buy a copy for my own personal library at home 😊

I also read multiple books at a time, I have no idea why. It's just always been that way ever since I was a kid.

I've actually spoken to other people about this and I've noticed that a lot of people who read multiple books at a time like me, happen to be neuro divergent (also like me) and it got me thinking.. I wonder what the statistics on that are. 🤔

Do I read multiple books at a time because I'm autistic??

So.. because I'm just curious and I know a lot of my besties on here are neuro divergent I wanna ask..

I know this isn't representative of society by any means, I'm just curious 😊

not to butt in someone else's conversation but im glad more people are talking abt how ulder gets mischaracterized!!

hes one of the characters that already existed in dnd lore (for several modules even, hes an important guy lol) and its just weird how many players have decided hes either a completely absent uncaring and unloving father or this overtly strict asshole who abused wyll when the game and canon personality both go against that

i like that their relationship is complicated, but so many players are barely willing to even spare 1 minute to Consider wyll, much less ulder

don't feel like you're butting into a conversation I'm with someone publicly 😭😭😭 it's fine, i really appreciate your input 🩷🩷🩷

Honestly I never played actual DnD so I was not aware the Ulder is such a Important Character lol (I mean obv in game he is like THE GUY, one of the most important men in Baldurs Gate)

I think some people can't fathom the complexity of real human relationships, or real human characteristics in general, especially when it comes to Video games so they won't get it when it's not explicitly fed to them.

And like the little attention both of them get is really bothering me because people just look at Wyll deem him boring and then put him into timeout at camp and THEN THEY OBV DON'T EVEN WANNA GET TO KNOW ULDER OR EVEN CARE ABOUT HIM AND IT MAKES ME SO FUCKING MAD, especially since Ulder is one of the only Parents you actually get to meet in game (I'm not sure about Gale's mom but I think she's only mentioned) so a little more voice lines for him would be nice, like bro I'm gonna be your daughter in Law, react to me like pls.

I just wonder why they settled on the English title of fangs of fortune it’s like a YA novel title like, yay we’re going on a quirky happy adventure to slay some demons and make friends. Which they do, but BUT. Also where are my fangs and where is my fortune

I can’t help but think about the way that Will is said to be “fond” of his father but the man is little more than a footnote in the pages of Hannibal’s notes. I also can’t help but make the connection to Jack — Will is fond of Jack, if exasperated as well, but if Will thinks of Jack with the same fondness as his father, it’s no surprise that he would also want to kill him. I think Will, not always but often enough, substitutes “fondness” for “hate” in his fervent need to convince himself, the audience and everyone around him of his “goodness”.

I enjoy yapping, I wanna draw nischa/passionrose/passionfruit an whatever other shipname they got but I cannot draw men 😭😭😭

[tempered-grace]

thinking again about the dancers in the TLYW video

Their outfits provide a really really cool visual contrast - you get these sharp well defined figure from the black under layer and then the white shawl shrug thingies give them this ethereal ghostly element

and also the dance itself holy shit

They’re so talented

The moving around the sword is amazing. The coordinated part at the beginning where they look almost menacing

The.. thing at the end

It’s just so so so well done and I appreciate that it’s done without sexualizing the dancers unnecessarily

I was doing the dishes at work and something made me think about the fictional purple bad guy again ughh heavy sigh. Anyways :) more headcanons. Deep sigh lmao

Messed up to think about but in my head, William was in this huge depressive slump after his son died (understandably), but then after he ends up taking Charlie’s life, he’s like…conflicted, I think, but. Oh no. Oh no, that felt…good. But he just killed somebody. A KID!! His best friend’s kid nonetheless. Freak!

But anyways, now willy has a new hobby and fucked up…COPING MECHANISM ⁉️ and now he’s seeming more like his old self, to people who know him. A spring in his step again lmao. He seems happier. Fucked up!! Typa guy to commit a fucking murder, clean up the scene, hide the body, change his clothes…and then come home to Elizabeth and Michael and be like “dad’s home!”. Terrifying!
