#knowing the unsubs

[a-timely-problem]

Overheard at the BAU

Detectives: "who are we looking for?"

The BAU: "The profile suggests a white male in his 30s."

Detectives: "...."

The BAU: "He also has an average built."

Detectives: "...why did we even call these people?"

Unsub!Reid

Alright, we all know Spencer is a little on the verge of a mental breakdown at all times. That got me thinking, what if he one day goes over that line?

♤ The first time he takes a life, he's in shock. He doesn't fully process the event for weeks. He doesn't know if he'll ever get over the fact that he shot someone, it doesn't matter that it was a killer, it doesn't matter that he was protecting his team, he took a life and he doesn't know if he can live with himself after that.

♤ Months later, it happens again. A standoff with an unsub ends with Spencer pulling the trigger. This time he expects the guilt and moral dilemmas, he knows how to help himself through it, knows that it was him or the Unsub.

♤ Every time a case ends with Spencer killing the Unsub the team had been chasing, it gets easier for him to deal with the psychological backlash.

♤ Until one time, he doesn't feel guilt. He only feels relief. Why should he feel guilty about protecting himself? Protecting his team?

♤ "Successful" cases where the unsub gets arrested start feeling incomplete to Reid. He feels anxious because the unsub, this awful person, is still alive, still out there in the world. What if they get out of prison? What if they escape? What if they start hurting others again?

♤ The final straw comes when an unsub escapes from custody. Reid had had a gun pointed at him only thirty minutes before. The unsub killed two more people before Spencer finally found him again, not hesitating to pull the trigger this time.

♤ From then on, he promised himself to never hesitate again. Voices in his head tell him that it is his fault that those two innocent people died. It was because of him that the unsub could kill them.

♤ He starts his own mission. He tries to rid the world of as many serial killers and serial rapists as he can, doing everyone a favor, according to him.

♤ He works with his team to profile and find the unsub, but the last piece of essential information he keeps to himself, sending the rest of his team astray with a subtle hint in the wrong direction.

♤ Then, he goes after the unsub himself, making quick work of them, chasing the feeling of relief. Relief that there is one less murderous psychopath walking around on this earth.

Of all the incredible one liners Rossi says to Hotch in the 187 years of this show, “I need you to dominate me because it gives me direction and a purpose in life” is pretty high up there imo

[pluviamignis]

Spencer Ried and Matthew Gray Gubler would be best friends who rant about each other to their other friends but will fight anyone who implies they should stay away from each other.

Aight, im done. Bye.

goddamn it reid

so morgan actually insisted to remove spencer from the area because he was already onto the real killer? ok

[bau-drabbles]

unsub hotch you say? did someone say hotch being a big dog in some shady business that his team is not aware of? do you mean when you accidentally find out about it, so you become a liability? are you referring to when he oh so cooly draws a gun on you and tells you to sit down and be quiet while he decides how to "handle" you? he doesn't want to kill you...are you going to make him? or are you going to be a good girl?

:O !!!!!! i'm so sorry it's taken me months to answer this 😭 i also didn't really answer this properly but i'm too lazy to redo it 🥲

nonnie, because the way i'm so in love with this idea 😩 and you know he'd be excellent in evading his team. he's an intelligent agent, the way he could so easily manipulate the evidence to point it towards someone else

but when it comes to you, he's used to disposing of people without a second glance. but you're different, you've piqued his interest. the cold barrel of his gun trails against your temple to your neck, his lips curved into a smirk while he watches you from his dark eyes. you can make out his stubble, his jawline in the dim lightening. he doesn't even try to hide his face from you, it's like he wants to get closer to you. part of him wants you to beg for your life just so he can hear the pretty sounds fall from your lips, how gorgeous you'd sound begging for your life 🤫 you're his pretty little flower, so delicate and gentle. it's so tempting to ruin you and yet he can't help but want to frame you like a proud trophy. all for him and him alone <3

mafia x bau crossover? 💃‼️👀

I am going to be very real and raw and honest and brave etc etc but like. people who respond to horrible accusations coming out about a popular/well liked figure with some variation of “I can’t believe people actually liked them I always knew there was something off” are exactly as annoying and parasocially obsessed as the people who refuse to believe things because “omg no they would never do that.”

[ichijokaoru]

This scene lives rent-free in my mind 🥵

I know Thomas Gibson directed this episode but did he seriously intend for this to be SO sexy?

I've never wanted to be a cigarette so badly in my life

“Well maybe he can make money counting cards in Las Vegas.” Bro he’s banned from every casino for doing exactly that.

I like that they really seemed to highlight that regardless of how unhinged (said with affection) Gideon could be, he was on another level about getting the job done while also being a great leader.

Yes, he told Derek not to take the shot while Hotch had a garrote around his throat (S1E8' 'Natural Born Killer' in my rewatch), and if Derek took the shot then Hotch would be safe sooner, though they really needed the dude alive.

But as soon as was practicable he went over to Hotch, loosened his tie ('Take your tie off for once in your life, huh?'), and let the handling of the unsub be handled by everyone else while he checked in on him.
