can never understand the “I miss s1 spencer before he was traumatised ☹️” comments - sorry, the s1 spencer whose father walked out on him and left him with his mentally unstable mother? the s1 spencer who practically had to raise himself and sacrifice his childhood to care for his mother? the s1 spencer who blocked out so much of his childhood he had to consider his own father having molested him? the s1 spencer who, as a child, was approached by a predator to play chess? the s1 spencer w memories so traumatic he blocked them out and would need hypnosis to uncover them? the s1 spencer who was in college from age 12 in a social environment filled with only people much older than him, leaving him completely isolated from all the experiences most share during college? the s1 spencer who was mercilessly bullied w physical violence and general cruelty like when he was stripped naked and tied to a pole by kids we can assume were much older than him due to how quickly he progressed through school? the s1 spencer who has felt like an outcast his entire life through no fault of his own? the s1 spencer who is afraid to visit his mother in her facility bc he knows how distressed she can become and it hurts him too much? the s1 spencer who has never had a single person (from what we’ve seen) truly enjoy his company without becoming irritated by his ramblings of relevant trivia, apart from his mother? - THAT “un-traumatised” s1 spencer ????????????
the implication that he wasn’t traumatised until he joined the BAU erases how hard he worked to get that job and WHY. his career is the result of his childhood trauma and who that turned him into; what he grew up learning and observing, the understanding he had that he could use to help other mentally unstable people from hurting themselves/others. we’ve NEVER SEEN an “un-traumatised” spencer and we never will. he’s not some untainted baby fresh out the womb in season 1. he’s notably LESS traumatised than in later seasons, but he still has A LOT of trauma.
highly doubt he’d compare getting kidnapped to having to institutionalise his own mother as soon as he was of the legal age to do so.
