I'm almost finished with season 11 of Criminal Minds and I'm not ready for season 12. I don't know how I am supposed to handle that tbh

Aaron Hotchner and John Blackwolf have such a great dynamic.

They work together as equals, which is something Hotch doesn't often have. He has Gideon as his boss, and the team as his trainees/subordinates. They aren't less talented, but Hotch has more experience, and direct responsibility over them. He doesn't get to be snarky because he has to be responsible, he doesn't learn from them so much as steadies their paths.

But with Blackwolf? Here's a man of a similar age, who has responsibilities of his own, who has a community to protect. And who has a different but equal level of knowledge and capabilities.

From the go, these two antagonise each other, but immediately recognise the other's abilities too. They learn from each other (guns vs knives, tracking and profiling), and banter, and put up a damn good fight together.

It's a side of Hotch we don't get to see much! He's having fun, he doesn't have to worry because Blackwolf can watch his own back, they have no ties to each other besides the ones they choose. I love that they remain friends, however distant, because these two are such a good pair.

I mean, just look at them!

I’m blaming @marril96 for this! And now I’m laughing my head off because it’s accurate af! 😂

I just know that there's at least one fbi agent that saw Hotch laughing and found it so unnerving that they just avoid him altogether
