#yes I’m a genius

[fbidrspencerreid]

I don’t believe that intelligence can be accurately quantified, but I do have an IQ of 187, an eidetic memory, and can read 20,000 words per minute. Yes, I’m a genius.

Absolutely not complaining but it is curious that there are a bunch of medical AU fics and I’ve not come across one that has had Agatha Harkness as a House MD type character when it fits like a glove.

To add to my red post (in which I mostly explain that Colin’s burgeoning love is evidenced by how the color red goes from being in front of him to framing him and increasing in vibrancy), here’s a few more observations.

When Pen enters the ball where she’s wearing the emerald green dress, she’s enveloped by a bright red cloak, but once she has arrived, she casts it off. Perhaps the meaning here is that she has been enshrouding herself in her love for Colin and allowing it to hold her back from pursuing others, but now she is putting that love aside and not allowing it hold her back anymore.

I have to imagine that all of the love storylines will be mirroring each other’s and Polin’s storyline in certain ways, so pay attention to how they are framed by red as well.

Bonus: A note on emeralds. In 2x01, the queen said that emerald is her favorite gem. Penelope is in emerald. Penelope is Lady Whistledown. The Queen is obsessed with Lady Whistledown. I’m sure by the end of season 3, we’ll see the Queen show her admiration for Pen/Whistledown. Personally, I’m hoping the Queen employs Pen somehow. 🤞🤞

Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett is such an amazing book to me. What if you were insane and kind of a bad person and you brought about the end of time (literally), though did so without any bad intentions, without meaning to hurt anyone, without meaning to stop time, only wishing to make something perfect because you feel that that’s what you’re meant to do and it’s the absence of that perfection that’s driving you mad in the first place.

What if another version of you who is both intrinsically, inherently, genetically you but so vastly different to you due to the vastly different lives you two have lived-completely ignorant of one another’s existence despite both of you living in the same city your whole lives-was somehow destined to stop you and save the world, pulled away from his old life due to talents he didn’t know he had and often couldn’t control and frustrated to no end at the seemingly ever-growing incompetence of his trainer.

What of as a result of this, the two halves of You became one whole person and yet lose almost the entirety of your collective humanity and now have to leave behind the person you love to fulfill the task that you were always meant for since the moment of your birth, and you have lost so much and you cannot go back to your old life because you can hardly keep yourself tethered to the present moment when there is all of time out there calling to you and it saddens you but you can see through time and it’s indescribably beautiful and infinite.

What if you were the unintentional villain and the reluctant hero and lost your humanity to become one of the inner workings of the universe itself.

I cannot shake my thoughts about this and I’ll know I’ll keep this drama close to my heart. The fact that Myung ha’s ‘sunbae’ opened the riff to the world with the question “would you change it for me?” Also the fact that Myung ha’s alternate universe/game world started with the sound of an ocean tells already a lot about it but we won’t know until Episode 8 why. Throughout the series we watched Myung ha doing everything in his power to make Yeo woon happy while he himself couldn’t rely, couldn’t trust, couldn’t open himself up to him. We know the phrase of his ex gf “you don’t know how to love anyone.” left a deep scar in his soul which he carried with to the alternate universe/game. I try to think the system errors which occurred during the game was a way to change Myung ha’s mindset to not make the same mistakes and/or go on with his habitual habits he did in his life before he drowned himself. Also the different tasks was it actually for Myung ha to realize that he’s the one who makes Yeo-woon happy (which he didn’t). He retreated himself from Yeo woon because he couldn’t choose between the most important persons in his life as we saw his grandma died in real life which makes me think if he also knew that because in one sequence in the game/au it asked him if he wants to bring back some memories of Myung ha’s life. Also the last I love you from Yeo woon was the cherry on top to let the system completely crash where he distanced himself from Yeo woon. “I want to spend my remaining time making Yeo woon happy as best as I can. But it seems the more I try, the more unhappy I make Yeo-woon.” Which Myung ha remembers what Yeo-woon said: “whenever I see you, I both feel good and want to cry. I feel so much about every little thing. But I’m not happy at all right now.” Which again I try to think it is about why Myung ha doesn’t rely more on him? Why he doesn’t open himself up to him? A relationship is based off of trust, give and take… etc. but Myung ha goes into this relationship with deep rooted traumas which causes lack of self love. If one loves not itself enough how can they expect to love someone else which what explains Myung ha’s last phrase in the same scene so much. “Why did I think I could make you happy?” It’s as if he doesn’t think that a loner like him could be the one to give him love and happiness. What follows after is that he choses Yeo woon’s happiness even if he’s not his happiness… which again brings me to the beginning where Myung ha thinks “but I prefer lonely supporting characters to happy protagonists.” In this case he’s the lonely supporting character to our happy protagonist Yeo-woon. “But being fated to live that kind of life… is just so unfair.” He knew/knows how cruel life can be so he chose his happiness over everything and got vanished from the game. He realized by now that Yeo-woon is/was more important than he wanted to admit. Yeo-woon is/was a glimpse of happiness in Myung ha’s life. What brings us to the tragic backstory of his life and how he lived. All the obstacles he endured and went through led to his drowning (at this point we saw Yeo-woon’s obstacles in the alternate universe/game at least in my opinion). This is the turning point for Myung ha. “I was hoping if you saw yourself from someone else’s perspective, you would learnt to love yourself. I thought if you learned to love someone, you would be a little happier.” I want to make a reference here to the title itself “Love for Love’s sake” because all the sacrifices he did and cared more for others than himself… but he found happiness. In Yeo-woon. And he chose his own happiness for once. It’s the way he chooses all these things for himself, to open himself up for him, to rely and be cared for. “It would be nice to have someone. Someone who cares by my side. Someone who gives me chances when I fail and feel hopeless. It would be nice to have someone who always gives me love.” Which they found both in each other.

Spencer's attraction to multiple genders is evident. However, he prefers intellectual connections over physical appearances. Essentially, Spencer is sapiosexual, finding intelligence the most appealing trait in a partner.

Spencer Reid's is attracted to intelligence. Known for his own intellectual prowess, Spencer finds deep connections with those who can engage him in stimulating conversations and challenge his mind. His attraction to intelligence is likely rooted in his appreciation of knowledge and unique perspectives of highly intellectual individuals. This preference aligns with his personal values and importance of mental compatibility in relationships.

That's why Spencer was so deeply in love with Maeve, who matched his intellectual curiosity and shared his passion for knowledge. Their connection was built on meaningful conversations and a profound understanding of each other's minds. Maeve's intelligence and insight captivated Spencer, making their relationship truly special and deeply fulfilling for him. Even when they had never seen her in person, Spencer was captivated by Maeve's intellect and emotional depth. This unique bond, formed purely through their mental connection, was a testament to intellectual attraction. It highlighted how deeply he valued minds meeting over physical appearances.

Spencer's relationship with Cat Adams, however, was more complex and adversarial. Cat, a criminal mastermind, posed a significant intellectual challenge to Spencer, creating a twisted dynamic rooted in their mental sparring. Despite the dark nature of their interactions, Spencer's engagement with Cat demonstrated his attraction to intellect, even when it came from a place of cunning and manipulation.

Lastly, Elias Voit presented yet another intriguing intellectual puzzle for Spencer. As one of the most prolific serial killers, Elias engaged Spencer in complex mental games, quoting literature and philosophy to challenge his perceptions. This dynamic, though dangerous, captivated Spencer's mind and demonstrated his enduring attraction to intellectual stimulation, even from the darkest corners of human nature. Elias often quoted Oscar Wilde, particularly the character of Lord Henry, to provoke and unsettle Spencer. These references to Wilde's work, known for its wit and moral complexity, added layers to their interactions, forcing Spencer to confront challenging philosophical ideas. The intellectual duel between them was not just a battle of wits but also a test of Spencer's moral compass, as he navigated the implications of Lord Henry's provocative worldview.

I might be really late on this but I just rewatched episode two and I realized that every time Patti Lupone says an exclamation, it’s a different tarot card 👀

Will there be a bad guy or any threats to the turtles in genera, like I don't know... Bishop or the krang

Oroku saki with an evil look on his face 👀👀

Love your work ❤️❤️❤️

N….not really? 😅😅😅 The closest my au gets is the Foot Clan and even then, once they realize their Beloved Son is a Hamato, they go about dismantling the dark armor real fast. And without the Evil™️ in their organization, they have no need to free the krang…

And since Draxum has a New Found Appreciation for humans since, you know, his son is genetically human, he sorta….abandons the whole mutagen thing, so none of the mutant villains are present…

Even the Battle Nexus is transformed into a more Ninja Warrior-esque competition…

Honestly, it’s all just interpersonal drama. It’s a lot of custody battles and divorcees getting back together lmao

The biggest villain of this au is Loneliness and Guilt.

Anyways, check out these designs.
