None of the members of the BAU like the 4th of July. None of them.
Spencer has hated it since he was a child. Not only is he autistic and inevitably thrown into a meltdown because of the fireworks, his mother used to react poorly to the loud explosionsâeither becoming completely despondent or crazed for the entire night and it usually carried into the next day. Safe to say Spencer never has and never will get a good nightâs rest on the 4th.
Emily spent so much of her childhood in other countries that sheâs never really been concerned with celebrating Americaâs independence day (not that her mom would have celebrated such a trivial holiday with her anyways). Her hate for the holiday continued to grow as she became more intimately familiar with the almost identical sound of gunshots so the 4th of the July is a no-go for her.
Like most of the BAU, Derek really isnât a huge fan of any noises that are loud and resemble sounds he encounters on a weekly basis while working. And, sure, heâs all for celebrating America or whatever but the whole day is so boringâand also in the middle of summer itâs a million degrees outside, who actually enjoys that?âand he personally favors Thanksgiving because at least thereâs football to watch.
JJ loathes the holiday. The fireworks only serve to remind her of her time in the Middle East and everything sheâs lost. Being around loud noisesâespecially explosionsâhasnât been easy for her for a long time now and the 4th of July tends to be a yearly reminder of everything she tries so hard to forget. It really just dredges up things she doesnât want to be thinking about which also makes it the worst holiday imaginable for her.
Penelope actually enjoys fireworks (for the most part, occasionally the noises send her spiraling back into old memories and then sheâs not so fond of them) because, to her, who can pass up pretty, exploding colors? But the actual holiday aspect is meh. Garcia is the first to say fuck the government and go full anarchist (listen this woman would gladly hack any government agency for fun if she didnât work for one).
Hotch just thinks people are obnoxious. Theyâre so loud and all he wants to do is sleep so would they kindly please stop with the fucking fireworks. So yeah, heâs just a grouchy old man (and maybe he has nightmares every night on July 4th but that is completely irrelevant and definitely not related to the loud explosions). Heâll buy fireworks for Jackâs sake but hates every minute of it.
Rossi, again, not a huge fan of loud noises but he cares significantly less than most of his team members. His particular grudge against the 4th mostly comes from the abysmal food that is served. Like really whoever invented the holiday could have at least picked better food options than hotdogs, beer, and vanilla cake (heâll agree that apple pie is good but thatâs about it). He also hates barbecuing so itâs a lose-lose situation.
Anyway whenever the government (and serial killers) are nice enough to give them the day off they all find various ways to avoid the holiday at all costs.
This usually involves them all ditching the city and heading out to spend the weekend at Rossiâs cabin outside the city (itâs really and truly a mansion surrounded by trees but itâs also made out of logs so it counts).
Which kind of technically counts as them celebrating the 4th because it usually involves sparklersâSpencer and Penelope are obsessed with them and almost always singe somebodyâs hair or clothingâbut also they eat pasta and play a makeshift game of football that usually ends with Spencer being thrown into the pool (itâs honestly tradition at this point and he deserves it for being so inconceivably terrible at sports). Derek is always and without fail the one to throw him in.

- every once in a while he'll open up ab himself and it's so amazing
- his fashion style is really impeccable and you love how he looks in all his sweater vests and designer cardigans
- you always feel like the room gets hotter when heâs only wearing a button down with the top button undone
- heâs really busy with his work for the FBI and working on his next PhD, but he still finds time to hang out with you when you ask
- you mostly hang out in your living room while you lay on your couch and he's in his fav bean bag chair

- he's scared he'll develop schizophrenia and forget who you are, so he documents your time together
- he doesnât like sleeping in places heâs not completely accustomed to but he wonât let you come to his apartment

- you feel really betrayed bc you trusted him to be loyal

Hello I have been reading Autistic Spencer Reid fics non-stop for days and Iâd love to hear your HCs! Please?
yes of of course! here are some of my favorite:
the ask I just got sent about Spencer having Derek lay on top of him as a pressure stim is like the best headcanon ever. I feel like that would start with Spencer forgetting his weighted blanket on a case (or just not being able to travel with it because those suckers are heavy af) and heâs really overwhelmed on the jet and desperately needs to feel grounded and obviously everyoneâs like really worried because heâs acting really agitated. Derek canonically is usually the person who approaches him when heâs upset so Spencer tries to explain whatâs wrong and things just spiral from there and it becomes a habit for them to cuddle up on the couch on the jet.
Spencer absolutely loves Penelopeâs office because she has so many toys and trinkets but itâs also quiet and has perfect lighting (plus she keeps little bobbles that are the perfect visual stims). A lot of the times when heâs having a rough day he sits quietly in Penelopeâs office and they do their work together in peace. Also the sound of her keyboard is really soothing a lot of the times.
when heâs working on a geographical profile or like standing around and staring at something on the board he naturally uses one hand for writing and the other hand is always in the Raptor Handâą position. JJ in particular always teases that his joints in his wrist must be absolute hell after being in that bent position so often for so long.
Whenever he overhears Penelope and Derek flirting with each other his brain always immediately catches on the ridiculous (/lh) names and phrases they toss around. he usually repeats what they say under his breath at least a couple of time and it always embarrasses him, not because of the echolalia itself but because some of the stuff they say is definitely out of character for him so it feels weird for him to be saying those things out loud.
heâs really good with using and detecting sarcasm (however when someone says something sarcastic he still sometimes corrects them because what they say reminds him of information he knows and he loves sharing the random facts. obviously this is often misconstrued as him misunderstanding but he justs likes infodumping the facts he knows!) but heâs really bad with understanding like regular joke or vague statements.
I also have this post here with more niche headcanons about Spencer being autistic!
It just be that way, sometimes.
sheâs a little too easy to love.
boys like him are made of wounds and secrets

happy pride month
it would hurt to be jack hotchner and have a group of people raising you alongside your widower father and acting as an extended family (since you donât really have one) and then just having all contact cut from them at 13 and never seeing them again
Literally Henry and Michael are his COUSINS like they would go to summer camp together and carpool to school and exchange shitty little handmade gifts at Christmas and JJ would always be there for him after he lost his mom and be so maternal with him and Emily and Penelope would have him feed Sergio (for lavish wages) while theyâre on vacation and he would get to sleep over at Derek and Spencerâs house and stay up an hour after his bed time and eat the cookie cereal his dad refuses to buy and auntie Penelope knits him sweaters for Christmas and he wears them even though they are ugly because he loves her so much and wants her to be happyâŠâŠand they take him away from themâŠhis wacky big familyâŠâŠdemented and sick is what it is
