I want one of those scenes in a dude bro film where “tomboy” chick has to wear a dress to go undercover or whatever, but instead of the guys drooling as she walks down the stairs, they’re like “k. U need to stop. Go put the cargo pants back on. You look super uncomfortable and awkward in that. Brutus, you go be the fake prostitute.”

WE INTERVIEWED BREEN FRAZIER! He's the writer of some of our favorite episodes of criminal minds, and now he's serving as the executive producer of criminal minds evolution!

He was SO wonderful to talk to and we had such a fun conversation about how incredible paget brewster is, what the heck is gold star, and queer representation in criminal minds!

Listen to the interview on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Anywhere Else!

Hannah Montana is fucked up because its entire POINT as a show is that children should be protected from fame and exploitation, but it stars a REAL little girl that's being exploited. Nearly every episode carries the looming threat of Miley being outed as Hannah and losing her peaceful teenage life to the ravages of fame. Her father in the show (played by her own father in real life) wisely protected her from the trauma of fame by making her wear a disguise and live a rather quiet, interview-free life. Meanwhile the REAL Billy Ray Cyrus sold his daughter to Disney Channel when she was 11 and forced her to read dialogue about how terrible it would be to face the public eye. Like... Jesus, dude. The fictional Robby Ray is 10x the father, and it's not even close. (It's also IMMENSELY funny that her dad doesn't use his real name in the show, while she does. Almost like he wanted a bit of a disconnect between his identity and his character. Something Miley didn't get.)

okay but i was thinking about this a lot watching the season 14 finale last night and now that we’re talking about death, one thing that i find really fun about JJ that I don’t have with a lot of my other more soldier type muses is that jennifer jareau is afraid to die. 

When she was being held hostage and askari came at her with a knife to kill her, that was the one time she really panicked in that situation. She literally started saying “no” out loud. 

When she kicked Hastings off the roof and he pulled her with him, she was terrified. The look on her face was pure fear. 

In the season 14 finale it was REID who decided they should put their guns down and JJ was NOT ABOUT IT. I have a whole long rant about how mad I am ta him for putting them in that situation, but JJ who is always pretty cool and collected is scared and shaky and NOT having a good time. 

When she gets shot, you can see the fear on her face while she’s laying there bleeding out. 

And lastly, in The Forever People when she actually gambles with her own life, and Askari points out to her that she did it, that’s the breaking point with her. Because taking Jennifer Jareau’s will to live would be taking the absolute last thing she has left. 

I’m 200% sure it comes from her being a parent, and worrying about her children and not wanting to leave them motherless, and wanting to see them grow up. But I think a piece of it also probably stems from her sister’s death and knowing that when her sister lost the will to live it simply took her away. And JJ doesn’t want that. She wants to live to be old and see her children grow up and be there for them like her family really wasn’t for her. And anyway, Jennifer Jareau is scared of very little and she’s tough as fuck but she’s really afraid to die.

There's actually nothing wrong with JJ being emotional and maternal. Like it's okay that she grows in that direction. Being a mother is a perfectly legitimate aspect of someone's life
