GIVE IT TO ME 😝😝😝

[madsvsefx]

when emily comes back in season 7 i’ll never forgive the writers for pushing the stupid JJ and reid argument over Derek and Emily because that first scene when she’s back is HEARTBREAKING and then it was just like “you owe me coffees for the rest of my life” and “i feel things differently to reid” like come on now and i say this because pre doyle emily and derek compared to post doyle was such a shift and then we never saw them again 😖😖😖

[madsvsefx]

im here to talk about matt again because who would’ve guessed?? 😝😝

People confidently will say matt was a good “filler” but he didn’t have an impact and ugh how that hurts my soul. Firstly, please please please go and watch beyond borders because it gives so much more insight into matt as a character.

We first meet matt in the franchise in season 10 episode 19 and you learn instantly a few things, he has four kids and a lot lot of connections around. These ultimately seem insignificant but he’s immediately placed as dedicated, successfully raising his children whilst being a member of the IRT, which is something we hadn’t seen in criminal minds from the males.

Following this beyond borders is released and this is where you get so much insight. The first thing we start to learn about Matt is how genuinely family oriented he is, i always love the mention of his car being filled with car seats in season 1 episode 1 like get it!!! but more importantly in season 1 episode 6 (i think) where its found that a guy was kidnapping women to make them wives and mothers of his children. At the end Matt states that “he can’t help but think about his daughters” and how “he wants to protect them forever” to me he shares a lot of instincts with JJ which everyone praises on her but never on him, for matt it’s he’s just a family man, but like who else has that trait with the stability???

Alongside this his loyalty to the IRT and then the BAU is immensely high for me he is one of the most loyal focused characters (however i don’t disagree that every criminal minds character has loyalty) but for matt that’s one of the ways people can get to him, stating that he isn’t loyal or based on his team. In 2x09 Linda Barnes is trying to close the IRT and is doing so through exposing the teams weakness: she pushes clara through her having known the victim and suspect, challenges mae through her career and how she came about being a ME, but for matt she accused him of hindering his team stating that HE encrypted something wrong or maybe didn’t at all and that pissed him off and also led to him being able to sus that something was wrong.

If you doubt Matt as being skilled please recall the start of season 13x2 where he had been holding down fort without the rest of the BAU very successfully and also easily he didn’t report an issue. Also we see him in a lot of different settings: with the ME, in interrogations, taking down the unsubs head on which is something you don’t see in every character for example characters like spencer and alex you don’t typically see in the interrogation setting.

Matts experience genuinely is also some of the strongest, he was in the military, then the IRT before coming to the BAU. I think of 13x3 when he sleeps in and kristy states that jack was right and that matt wasn’t “ready for a desk job” because his job heavily plateaus in comparison to the IRT. Although criminal minds obviously shows when they’re on cases a lot of their job is advising from the desk which is significantly different but he still excels at.

All i have to say is i love my man and you should too 😸😸

if you ship jemily and simmvez the parallels between them is actually insane. Jemily in seasons 2-4 is such a mirror is simmvez in seasons 13-15. one is married with children and can be perceived to struggle with the ideas of sexuality. I love editing these two ships together because the similarities between matt and jj and emily and luke are so fun to find and compare:

- emily’s reaction to will and JJ getting engaged mirrors the scene of matt ad kristy’s baby shower and the moment they both let an expression slip.

- luke and emily both have small attempts at romantic relationships in the show but they fall through or are left significantly brief.

- matt and jj are both characters that rely on questioning they are inquisitive and ask a lot of questions a reason why we often see them in interrogation settings. They both question a lot of things even theirselves and their worth.

- very much each others comfort!!! JJ pictures emily coming to save her when she is kidnapped and emily has a nightmare where JJ falls victim to a case she had been working with. Matt is the one to take the gun from luke in 14x06 and bring him back into a sense of reality. Matt chooses luke to spend time time with after the birth of rose.

- also the most simple point is the eye contact these guys can’t help but dote on each other, if you walk in for a yearning competition and these guys are there leave because you’re not winning!!

thank you for coming to my ted talk!! 😝😝

[danielhenneygoogle]

Daniel Henney for Cosmopolitan

[madsvsefx]

😝😝😝😝😝 i’m coming for him

[damnhotmsimmons]

I still love this photo so much. For some reason this photo was so hard to find. If Daniel returns to cm, I hope they recreate this photo

[madsvsefx]

the season 13-15 cast is so criminally underrated. it physically hurts me the amount of people who stopped watching before this beautiful cast 😣😣

criminal minds do what you need to do and get daniel back on my screen!!!

[simmvezceo]

i really like this edit actually, one of my fav songs from growing up too🥹🥹

engraved in my brain!!!

[madsvsefx]

one of my favourite underrated simmvez scenes ever ever, is 14x11 (night light), i watched this yesterday and oh my goodness. Luke heads upstairs to attempt to apprehend the unsub but i snuck up on from behind and ultimately is saved by Matt, already perfect. But it’s the aftermath that is the best, the silent communication with their eyes that says everything before a quiet “thanks”, oh my goodness i love it. Simmvez eye contact you are my tried and true, i love you!!!

[simmvezceo]

these are definitely the type of photos luke and matt send back and forth to each other, they definitely tease one another.

PREACHHHH!!!! a non stop game!!

[madsvsefx]

The pure happiness luke would’ve felt when matt joined the BAU is what keeps me going. The IRT ran on a different floor but they’d see eachother in the lift and those glances, subtle exchanges and short conversations would’ve been everything, leaving their teams fascinated by what got them so happy so early. Then the IRT was closed, but Matt was reinstated in the BAU and their relationship from then… ugh i’m blushing so hard. Not only would they have had such comfort in each other being in a team that had been together for so long, but they’re oh so similar in the way were if one of them was going through something it was only the other who could be of aid.

- Plus i always think about tara in the early stages listening to both of them dote on eachother. Her just laughing at their cluelessness.

and thats what on my mind right now 😝😝

[madsvsefx]

hello😈, i wanna know if you’ve got any favourite simmvez headcannons ??🥹

i always always think about scenes on the jet, they are INSEPARABLE. You don’t catch them not sitting with eachother otherwise they are the most grumpy and unhelpful men on the planet, too busy trying to seek eachother from the distance that’s been forced upon them 😝

[madsvsefx]

everytime people flunk matt down into the bottom of their rankings (if they even remember him at all) have never even watched beyond borders and i just ughhh 😣😣 although by a long shot we didn’t get extensive amounts on Matt, you learn a lot about him through beyond boarders specifically about his family when he’s looking for grandma in season 2 and oh my goodness it’s so emotional. You learn so much about his upbringing, not being accepted by his fathers side, his mum herself having been abandoned to begin with. Which is why he seems to most as having the only plot line outside of his job being his family, of course the focus on going to be on his family he’s making the life everyone deserves. Like wow even if you’re not screaming and lurching to watch beyond borders that episode is worth the watch!!

Matt Simmons + Cooking

-Matt’s not much of a cook, considering that much of cooking takes a lot of time and he’s usually busy most of the time.

-His cooking isn’t bad but not as skilled as say Rossi or Luke

-There are certain dishes that he’s really skilled at

-Anything else he attempts or tries to cook…….call for pizza

-Knows how to make several Korean dishes that his mom taught him when he was young

-Kristy enjoys eating his cooking, with japchae(stir-fried noodles with vegetables) and bulgogi(grilled beef) being her favorites

-Clara even tries to make some his mother’s homemade kimchi(It was surprisingly good)

-Considering the amount of time and countries he’s traveled during his IRT days, there’s no way he doesn’t know how to cook cuisine from different countries.

-One day, it’s lamb on the grill, other days it’s monfongo

-His kids like it when he cooks up some plantains for them

-They even like his Korean fried chicken

-They also like to eat rice with peas

-His weakness is that he mostly cooks food that’s uncommon in suburban America

-When he tries to cook up something “simple” and more common…..call for pizza

-Pancakes are a few exceptions

-He knows what his kids and Kristy like

-Kristy enjoys his pavlova and his IRT teammates like his baklava

-Tara, Emily and Penelope also enjoy his pavlova

-Enjoys cooking Latin, Mediterranean and Lebanese cooking

-When the team finds out that he cooks, they are relatively surprised and impressed

-They all enjoy his specialty Korean dishes

-Luke enjoys his galbi(beef short ribs), grilled lamb and tostones.

-He’s even impressed when he finds out that he can make a couple of Puerto Rican dishes

-Penelope likes his bibimbap, gimbap and kimchi(she even tried to make them)

-She basically eats any of his vegetarian dishes

-JJ loves his Korean fried chicken, she even made Will and Henry try them(They also like it)

-Rossi is surprisingly impressed when he makes some Italian dishes based on his travels in Italy

-The team begs Matt to give them some of his and mother’s recipes, cause they’re that good

-They even try to recreate some of the dishes, whether they failed or not is up to question

-Despite all, cooking is not something he’d consider to be a hobby

-When he does, it’s mostly on special occasions(parties, picnics, barbecues)

-Would usually make some kimchi for picnics or parties

That’s about it, if I come up with something else, I might make a part 2 for this

[madsvsefx]

one thing i don’t really see spoken about is derek and emily’s friendship on a deeper level (specifically pre doyle). It’s super clear they have a lot in common like the scene where emily announces that she’s a nerd and they bond over books. But what i was thinking is in season 4, the episode demonology, emily is really taken aback by dereks doubts of continuing the case “that’s how you have my back?” which yes she’s shocked because he’s one of her closest friends, but also out of anyone on the team he’s the one that would he able to understand her pain and distrust in religion which is something i don’t see really emphasised, both have their issues with religion, derek was unable to find aid when he prayed for it and emily struggled to fit in anywhere dhr went, but both still carry the term. Derek calls Penelope his “god given solace” and emily “thanks god” when her team comes up unscathed. Their similarities are so extreme which is why i’m so surprised i haven’t seen it mentioned. I think looking at it this way also shows a little to why Derek reacted how he did with the Lauren arc (still very much in the wrong). But criminal minds is so excellent when it comes to writing about deep topics because it’s so informative but also leaves room for such thought.

if you don’t believe matt simmons is pure freak, just remember how many kids he has 😛😛 dick game is anything but weak
