"What does Garcia think about him?" 12.01 The Crimson King Criminal Minds [2005 - 2020]
GARCIA: and now we will wheels up.
LUKE: we're not going anywhere.
GARCIA: shut up, shut up! just because you look like that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with this part of your face.
10 GIFs from 10 Ships
Rules: without naming them, post a gif of ten of your favorite ships (any media) and tag as many people as possible to do the same!
I was tagged by @wrongfulruffian
Couldn't find a Drarry GIF and didn't want to repost someones fanart, but them too. With zero credit to JKR of course. TERF POS.
DON'T COME FOR ME I THINK THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN CUTE TOGETHER OK
Don't come for me over this one either, I unironically fucking loved She-Hulk
This was fun! Even though I immediately forgot everything I've ever watched when I started 😅
No pressure tagging @playinginthunderstorms, @sassay-fox, @dreamingstrawberries and @lookforanewangle
Criminal Minds 12.01 | The Crimson King
it is a full on crime that penelope garcia hasn’t had a mini fashion diva daughter
So, I'm rewatching Criminal Minds, soooooo, here's my character sexuality headcannons and ships and why.
🫀🦷🫀🦷🫀🦷🫀🦷🫀🦷🫀🦷🫀🦷🫀🦷
Character sexuality headcannons:
Gideon - straight, somewhere in the aromantic spectrum
Rossi - straight but experimented
Hotch - bicon w/preference for women
Elle - bisexual lesbian (i know, controversial)
JJ - bi girlie
Prentiss - lesbian queen
(Jemily, my beloved)
Reid - bi (cannon if they weren't cowards)
Morgan - bicon part 2 electric bugaloo
Luke - pansexual, demiromantic babes
Garcia - pan/lesbian/queer (leaning slightly more queer)
Reasons:
Gideon -
He doesn't radiate sad gay old man vibes like some others (cough cough hotch cough cough) but he definitely isn't entirely straight either, I feel like he takes a minute to grow a connection and it's that connection he needs to pursue a healthy relationship. So probs demiromantic (maybe i project, sue me !! I want more demi romantic characters) but could also fall on other areas of the aromantic spectrum.
Rossi -
Similar to Gideon, doesn't radiate the same gay old man vibes and I loved his relationship with hayden (joys mum). However, he is canonically a kinky bastard in his youth, and he most definitely had no qualms about fucking around with guys, he wasn't attracted to them and is instead just one hell of an ally who was also heavily involved in queer and kink scenes.
Hotch -
SAD OLD GAY MAN VIBES !! I do enjoy his relationship with haley, and i know he can have had a strong fulfilling relationship with a women without being attracted to her, but I do think he is attracted to women. But he also just radiates sad gay dad there fore 💫bicon hotch💫. Also, he was a troubled teen in an all boys boarding school...I will die on the fact he was a bit of a whore in his youth before haley, I wish we had more on his backstory and what the timeline was but in my head - all boys boarding school for most of his early and mid teenage years before meeting haley late/final year of highschool post transfer - I can't remember if that is even possible with what we know in show but I don't care !! Also, defo had a little thing for garcias friend in the Halloween episode when he gets Jack's costume.
Elle -
I didn't know what I thought she would be at first cuz like she defo loves women but she does have a thing with men then it struck me, both !! She defo would fuck a man but would not want a relationship with one/has no romantic attraction to them. Women on the other hand, she with eat their pussy and put a ring on it at the same time like a true queer icon. I know it's a controversial label but also, they're fiction characters and want to make fun head cannons with fun words !!
JJ -
She just is. Like, I could write a whole essay on the parallels of queerness with JJ, but I'm already yapping excessively and those video essays already exist sooooo I'll let them be lol. Also, i love jemily so much but NO ONE TALKS BAD ABOUT WILL LAMONTAGUE JNR. his and JJs relationship is so cute so I shall multi ship and throuple these mother fuckers as much as I please.
Prentiss -
Literally the OG man hating lesbian and I love her for it. She has never been attracted to a man in her life and i shall die on that hill. Emily prentiss, know I love you deeply.
Reid -
Literally the most stereotypical bisexual to bisexual. And I love him for it. Like, he likes women, but he had more chemistry with Ethan in a SINGLE EPISODE than with JJ (jeid, my UNbeloved) I love my bisexual nerd.
Morgan -
I won't even lie to you this is mostly for angst and hurt/comfort purposes. He lost his father young and took on the role as 'man of the house' incredibly young, then their was C*rl B*ford, and I just love a self realisation fic where he comes to terms with the fact that he is allowed to be attracted to men and that not discount his past trauma and be COMFORTED FOR IT !!! don't get me wrong, all the characters (especially reid) have gone through it, but please!! Give me some morgan-centric fics where he gets comforted and it not delve into other characters trauma. I love reid but please, I need morgan centric hurt/comfort fics where he doesn't act uncharacteristically violently.
Luke -
Ngl, this is entirely vibes. There's nothing I can point to for 'evidence' or 'proper' reasoning, it is just straight up vibes and I choose to stand by it.
Garcia -
This is where I struggle !! Cuz like, she is definitely not straight and I kinda want to say she's a lesbian but I love her relationships with kevin and I love galvez so much. So maybe pan cuase I think i have put too many as bi lol but I also think maybe she would just be unlabelled and 'queer' (let me project onto my favourite characters okay !!), so probs leaning more towards queer but still up in the air.
Just a little extra here. Hotches stint as a whore, and JJ in a throuple aren't meant to be comments on bisexuality as an identity. For hotch, i just love the trope of very stoic/serious/otherwise unsuspecting character being a whore on the past mostly then for the accidental 'oh, during this very important situation and the person whose important we must talk to I have slept with fuck' moments I love ngl. And I just love both JJ and wills and JJ and Emily as ships and want them all together and happy and see next section for further reasoning. Just got worried on case this fell into any stereotypes of bi people being 'greedy' or unable to have committed relationships or being known for sleeping around. It was not intended !!
🫀🦷🫀🦷🫀🦷🫀🦷🫀🦷🫀🦷🫀🦷🫀🦷
Ships I like and why:
• Jemily
A classic. They're so fucking close and so cute with eachother. They lean on eachother and know nigh everything about eachother even stuff they have been told not to share. I love them together and they'd be fucking precious together!!
• JJ × Will
A cannon straight ship I like. This is highly unusual. I love will with JJ, and honestly just Will as a character. They're relationship and family together is so sweet and cute and I love them as a couple I won't lie. Also male wife × girlboss
• Emily × JJ × Will
I do ship them both speratley but do love a good throuple ship. JJ with her wife and husband, living her best life. I love both these ships and have never been a fan of infidelity trope in fic, and honestly, I want to see wine besties Will and Emily cuz they so would be. They would both put their lives on the line for JJ and that creates a base if respect and trust between them.
• Galvez
I LOVE PENELOPE AND LUKE !!!! I love how garcia is cold at first to him and stand offish and Luke just puppy wags tail 'she's so cool' 'I've heard she's so nice' I love it !! They're precious together and I'm so mad they didn't go through with it in the og 15 seasons (reboot don't let me down on this)
• Morgan and garcia QPR
I do love Morgan and garcia but I don't like them as a romantic couple. I love their violently flirty yet platonic friendship HOWEVER !!! I do love them as a queer platonic relationship. They're is something there that is more than platonic but not romantic and I also just want more QPR stuff in media (including fan media) also: shout out to my irl QPP cuz she will get her appreciation !!! Love you babes (even tho you'll probs not see this)
For next section, just know i stand heavily by SHIP AND LET SHIP. I don't like these for my own reason, if you do SLAY !! I love that for you. But for me, it's just not a fave.
🫀🦷🫀🦷🫀🦷🫀🦷🫀🦷🫀🦷🫀🦷🫀🦷
Ships I don't like and why:
• Jeid
...why? Just why? Reid had a small crush on her in SEASON 1 then she confesses to being in love with Reid in SEASON 14!! there was no build up, or even really mention on it between that time, including which JJ getting a husband and family and Reid going through his love life with Maeve and that whole situation. I like them more as brother and sister type vibe.
• Anyone on the team with Hotch, Rossi, or Gideon
I just don't like it. They all feel like the parents of the team so them shipped with anyone else feels icky to me.
