Names are hard!

Just planning out my Gotcha! post-S15 fic series and decided I wanted to write a little blurb for each character: job, location, and, if they have any more children, said children’s names. I have decided that Alex and James Blake foster/adopt some children, and I was really struggling to find a boy name, until I thought “Luke! Luke is a great name! No-one else on the show canonically has that na… Oh whoops, except Luke Alvez!” . In my defence, I haven’t seen anything past Season 11! I then decided on Matthew instead, again forgetting about Matt Simmons and also gave two baby girls the name Charlotte and realised I’d given two characters the same name, one as middle and one as first, but still! I obviously do not have much imagination and am evidently very attached to  certain names! 

I also write as Cootisms on fanfiction.net, for Glee and The OC. 

anonymously tell me what my specialty as a fanfiction writer is

I am orange 🍊 and blueberry 🫐!

@hotchley​ @themetaphorgirl​ @ssa-sarahsunshine​ @uncpanda​

i enjoy similar posts so here is my attempt at one 🌹 tag yourself as a fruit! (apologies if your favourite fruit isn’t on this inevitably incomplete list; i’m capping it at 6.) (you can also tag your friends or ocs for fun.)

pomegranate: opulence, red, calloused hands, scheherazade telling stories for a thousand and one nights, poetry about roses, long eyelashes, wry grins, a past you never talk about, secrets dying in your throat every time you think of sharing them.

fig: calm, measured, the voice of sense, seems tall even if they aren’t, a wearer of creams and ivories and beiges, the chime of hidden bells of mischief in their thoughtful voice, uncanny looks like they see what you’re hiding.

cherry: bright-eyed, silver anklets merry in their noise, painted nails, friendship bracelets, eagerly sharing what they love with their friends, knowing and fond looks, distance when you least expect it, capriciousness, unwitting flirts, finds pleasure in astrology and tarot, dancing.

orange: generous, unexpected, a mind connected to other planes, distracted wandering eyes, musing slow lovely voice, unexpected talents, sturdy shoes, a hand offered to any who trip, a listener to any who hurt, a bearer of others’ sorrows.

blueberry: thinks aloud, luxury-loving, cozy socks, the feel of cotton and the smell of rain, putting others first, putting others at ease, raised eyebrows, the kind who carefully listens to others’ song and book recs and then tells them their thoughts, a world-centric thinker.

mango: always marching sunwards and lifting everyone around them up too, stunningly brave, bright-eyed, proud in a likeable and endearing way, the type to ruffle others’ hair, good with first aid, bossy in an affectionate kindly way, soft spot for romantic stories.

Yes, the first part is my first name!

reblog this and put in the tags if the name you use on tumblr is also the name you use irl or not

Well into Season 3 of Downton Abbey! Mary and Edith have stopped being witches with b’s to eachother. Love Matthew looking out for Tom and saying they have to stick together against their fiery wives was very sweet. I know how it all ends with Edith and Anthony Strallan, which sucks, but am waiting impatiently for Mary and Matthew’s wedding! 

I too have started rewatching Downton Abbey, as it appeared in my Netflix suggestions/new in.

Love the Dowager Countess and Cousin Isobel and their jibes at eachother. She must be the only one who can counter the Dowager’s snippy remarks, with absolute class. She’s also very kind, seeing to Moseley’s hands, looking after Sybil when she is injured and supporting the social reforms quietly. 

Also, I obviously have a thing for quiet, stoic, dark-haired men who have a temper but fundamentally good people. When Bates smiles, it reminds me so much of Hotch!

Mary and Edith are dreadful to eachother, the writers must all have been only children as what they do is something I would never even consider doing to my siblings!  Daisy’s crush on Thomas is so heart-breaking. I have been there, except the guy I liked was not only gay but taken!  O’Brian and Thomas are truly awful people, why on earth are they so horrible to Bates and just generally scheming scumbags?

Sybil is gorgeous, I love her blue harem trouser ensemble and Branson seeing her and smiling! She’s so kind to Gwen too, so encouraging and positive.

Gotcha! Reunited, Part 1

So here is the first part of my post Season 15 fic, where Hotch returns to Quantico, bumps into Penelope and they renew their friendship, which deepens into something more… I don’t know how to do the “Keep reading” cut off thing, sorry. Any ideas for an overall and chapter titles gratefully appreciated!

« Auntie Nellie-Pie! Auntie Nellie-Pie! »

Penelope swivelled around, eyes wide and mouth agape as she scanned the stationery aisle of the supermarket for the source of the voice which contrasted so sharply with the childlike nickname that nobody had called her for almost a decade.

Her eyes fell on a tall youth with green eyes, hair the colour of wet sand and a smile she would recognise anywhere, as it was accompanied by familiar dimples in his cheeks.

She promptly dropped the notebook she’d been examining as it dawned on her who the teenager was.

« Oh my goodness, it can’t be! But it is! Jackers! I thought I’d never see you again! »

Potential purchases forgotten on the floor, she rushed to embrace him.

« Oh, Aunt Penny, I’m glad to see you too, but I also enjoy breathing! » Jack exclaimed as she pulled back to cup his face after hugging him close.

«  Oh, sorry, sweetheart! It’s just been so long! You have no idea how devastated I was when your dad just vanished with you overnight. How is that dad of yours anyway? You probably get this all the time, but you look so much like him! »

« Yeah, dad’s fine. Old but fine! Are you still with the BAU? » he questioned.

« Oh no, I gave that up recently. Everyone decided to leave so I am now an IT freelancer. So much less gross than the cases I had to present to your dad and the team. You’re starting high school, right? » she inquired.

«  Yeah, going to be a freshman! Dad thought it best to stay where we were until I finished middle school, though we were both itching to come back-hey, Dad! Over here! » He signalled to his father who had reached the end of the aisle, with a look of concern etched upon his face.

« Hey, buddy, did you find what you nee-uh, Penelope! What a lovely surprise! »

Aaron’s jaw fell open and his eyes grew larger as he recognised the blonde woman wearing an outfit that looked like a parrot and a peacock had mated.

A second later, he was engulfed in a cloud of fair curls, glittery jewellery and an affectionate embrace.

« Hello Si…um, Hotch, sorry! » she chirped, wiping away the traces of scarlet lipstick from his cheek that she had impulsively kissed, as she pulled away from her former boss.

« It’s so good to see you! When you left without saying goodbye, which I completely understand, time was of the essence and your priority was and always should be your son, but I think you remember how well I handle change… » she trailed off, biting her lip as her eyes welled up and averting her gaze from his.

« If you’re still the same Penelope Garcia I knew back then, that would either be a) extremely badly or b) not at all » he replied, his tone full of affectionate teasing and a small smile playing on his lips, activating his dimple.

« Are you stil living in your apartment? » he asked.

« Indeed I am, I’m a creature of habit, Si… Sorry, I must stop calling you that! How about you, where are you and Jack staying? »

« We’ve found a house near the high school, not too far from Jess’s and close to my work. We’ll have to have you and the rest of the team for a housewarming. »

« Oh, that would be lovely! Rossi is up to his eyeballs in grandpa duties, as Joy had two more boys back-to-back, and he re-married Hayden a few years ago, JJ and Will moved back to New Orleans with my darling godsons, as Will has got a new job as head of the police force. Spencer is teaching at the university while also studying for degree number 563, Emily has settled in London, she does simultaneous translation for immigrants, Morgan is still in Chicago, he’s made a real name for himself doing house renovations and Savannah has just had a little girl called Charlotte. Tara’s training to teach psych at high school, she’s going to be awesome! Do you remember Matt Simmons? He’s opened a gym and Luke Alvez is a personal trainer there. As for me, I’m teaching coding classes at the community centre, being a freelance tech help person as well as giving internet safety talks in schools. How about you, former fearless leader? »

« I’ll be teaching law and criminology at the local university. I already noticed that Spencer’s going to be my colleague, so that will be interesting. It’s so great to hear everyone’s news, you really were the lynchpin that connected everyone. Look, you’ll have to come round for drinks and dinner to catch up properly-would Thursday evening at 8 suit you? »

« Sure, Sir, oops, Hotch! » she replied, eyes lighting up and a wide smile spreading across her face.

The two exchanged numbers and addresses before parting ways.

1. Penelope or Hotch!

2. Will and JJ. They both had really demanding/difficult/dangerous jobs but managed to resolve their differences in a believable, sensible way whilst raising children. 

3. Rossi. I feel like he acknowledged his flaws/failings more than Gideon and tried to keep up with tech/modern stuff. He also got on better with most of the team than Gideon!  4. Foyet, it was such a long arc with so many twists and turns, I got chills at certain points. Runners up would be The Fisher King and Zugzwang for the puzzles they set the team and how they all had to work together to solve them.

5. Love Alex Blake and Spencer Reid, she was so maternal and nurturing in just the way he needed. Penelope and Hotch had a lovely friendship too, but the6 seem to be my answers for almost everything!

6. Penelope. It felt so good as a curvy lady to see a fully-fledged character who wasn’t just the fat best friend on TV! Like her, I wear lots of bright colours, have a ton of hair accessories and am an empath!  7. The Pilot, all of S 4, Reflections of Desire, S 9 or 10 Halloween ep…

8. The one with the maggots/bugs, it was gross! Oh, and the one where the unsub stole eyes from his victims! 

OK im making a criminal minds tag game cos I'm curious :))

3. Gideon or Rossi?

4. Favourite unsub?

I love how Hotch almost always thanks her for her help, he’s so polite! 

I love this scene between them, it’s really sweet and encapsulates their dynamic beautifully. She calls him Aaron, which hardly anyone else does ( Haley, Jess, Sean, I think and possibly Gideon and Rossi)!

15. Moving abroad, age 6 and having to learn a brand new language!

16. I really enjoyed My Unorthodox Life about a mum and her mostly grown up children who ended up leaving the ultra strict Jewish community they were part of near/in New York. Firefly Lane was also really good.

17. As a young child, I used to like playing with worms and frogs! Aged 8, I was a massive Greek/Roman/Norse mythology fan and also really got into crime fiction via Nancy Drew!

18. Not really, but I play games on my 3DS sometimes.

19. Neither, but if I have to choose, vampires.

20. Someone will have to ask me this! The answer will probably be no, though I may have heard of the band!

21. Ben Affleck!  22. No

23. Introverted, creative, loyal, organised and patient

24. That it is OK to ask for help, I enjoy my own company and am good at entertaining myself

34. Tranquility, love, end of war/conflict

35. Languages. Primary/grade school: art and English

36. Just one

37. Sometimes

38. I often daydream, or am told I am in a world of my own, so having my own little space here with my name seemed fitting

39. “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent”

40. Someone can ask me this!

41. Yesterday, Hey Jude, Here Comes The Sun…

42. Speaker

43. Playing by myself or with my brother, doing drawing/arts and crafts, my mum making play-doh, baking with my mum, my dad telling my brother and me made up stories

44. Fridge magnets. I like ones of paintings or that have famous quotes on.

45. Earl Grey or English Breakfast. Lemon and ginger is good too, with honey.

46. On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…

47. Book stores are my jam!

48. Some of them were a little unusual!

Perfect choice, @hotchley​! Love that episode, Penelope is so sweet and strong and brave! Love how Hotch unquestioningly gives her the time off, as he gets that she has to do this for her own closure/healing, even though it’s not what anyone else on the team would do. The last few minutes always make me cry!

Of course you can!

🪴and i’ll write you a little love letter

[IMAGE ID: Louisa, It feels very fitting that your name begins with an L. Because lovely- which is what you are- and lucky- which is what I am to know you, you're so sweet and kind, which is just so nice because it gives me hope that you don't need to get crueler as you get older. Your comments and thoughts that you leave on my posts make me smile so, so much. Please don't ever change and thank you for a) Gotcha as a ship name and b) proving there is indeed a bravery in being soft - Sumayyah]

i'm hosting a first anniversary sleepover!

Happy 1st tumblr birthday 🎂🎁🎈🎉🥳🪅🎊🛍, Sumayyah! Could I have 💐 for Gotcha ( Hotch and Garcia), please? Love you and your writing so very much.

Thank you! That's the cutest ship name ever, petition to change it to that because it sounds prettier!! And also: Aww, I love you too <3

💐and a character/ship for a happy headcanon

platonic: Garcia is well-aware that Hotch's apartment can feel too quiet during the summer months when Jack has sleepovers, or summer camp, or is just out in the park, so she always has a reason to come over and keep him company.

Whether it's: here's a new craft I took up or: I made too much of this thing and it just so happens to be your favourite so you can you please take some? Hotch knows she's only doing it so he's not left alone, but he appreciates the thought, and always makes sure he's got something either on DVD or recorded that they can watch together.

romantic: because Hotch has been making packed lunches since he was a kid- both for himself, and for Sean, and then for Jack, he finds the whole process quite therapeutic and fun to carry out. So, when him and Garcia move in together- which was a very long and stressful process, filled with Jack opening every single box to see what was in there and Garcia being more than a little worried at Hotch's lack of possessions- he makes all three of them their lunches.

Garcia's always has a little love letter. It's usually just a compliment about how pretty her outfits always are, or how lovely the size of her heart is, or how much he's still in awe of the fact that she loves him.

Garcia's response is always to pin it in place on her corkboard- everyone deserves to know how much of a romantic Hotch really is- and then going up to the 6th floor to kiss him on the cheek (which almost always results in a mark he can't quite wipe away, that the higher ups find strangely endearing)

🌼 and i’ll hand letter either a word or your url for you

Which I know you didn't ask for, but you need to know how "radiant" you are, and I'm actually really enjoying calligraphy again!

i'm hosting a first anniversary sleepover!

I can definitely see myself as a mixture of both Hotch and Garcia! As a curvy blonde, I look a little like Garcia, but as a shy/introverted person who takes a while to warm up to/trust people and definitely likes to draw a line between being friends and professionalism at work ( as a nanny, the parents are always Mr and Mrs X, never first names and always the formal you form, even if they say I can use either/both and no matter how well I get on with them/like them! I also adore ( musical) theatre, cooking/baking and am good with kids. My main love languages ( that I display for others) are touch, words of affirmation and gifts, so again, a great blend of my two favourite characters in the show!

🌺  and cast your mutuals as (i have always wanted to do this)

for criminal minds ships?

🌺 and cast your mutuals as (i have always wanted to do this)

I was honestly wishing for someone to send this because I had it all planned it, and I just really wanted someone to ask! Each person has been cast as the ship, because in my opinion, if they had a child, it would be this person :)

I also do not ship every single one of these...

@whump-town as Hotchniss (obviously)

@olivinesea as Jelle (that is a compliment by the way)

@electricsockhead as Moreid (I mean... would you be anyone else?)

@ellyhotchner as Hotch/Beth (my babies deserved a child together, that kid would've been GREAT!)

@willlemonheadsupremacy as Willifer (one of my many faves!)

@anastasiahotchner as Maeve/Reid (smart, books, you know, it fits!)

@bus-kids as Spemily (but like, Reid is just the sperm donor they're not romantically involved!!!)

@lumosemily as Morcia (positivity!! sticking up for the people you love!!)

@hotchgan as Mortch (obviously)

@temily as Temily (obviously)

@infinite-tides as Hotchley (who also deserved a daughter and better)

@kamiamaya as Hotch/Rossi (once again, also obviously)

@transpenelope as Hotch/Madam Bouvier (chaos)

@louisaland as Gotch (perfect blend of positivity and love and don't you dare mess with the people I care about)

That's all the ones I can think of that match somebody...

i'm hosting a first anniversary sleepover!

REBLOG if you have amazing, talented WRITER friends.

Because I certainly do, and I love every single one of them and their work.

One of the many reasons I cannot picture JJ and Reid together romantically! Even as a friend, I think that she is quite unkind in that scene. Love Emily’s dynamic with Spencer though, very supportive and like a big sister to him!

“I don’t know how to be anyone else.. I can’t help it” (insp)

April: Spring, as it’s not too hot, sitting outside and swimming outdoors are possible, and blossom, flowers and baby animals everywhere!

Apples: bananas, mangoes, raspberries and strawberries

Bees: loose flowy trousers, a top and a light cardigan

Blossom: sunflowers or deepest darkest red roses

Bubbles: I don’t think I’ve tried an official/proper version, but based on what I had, no

Changes: Spring to Summer means the temperatures get too high for me, Summer to Autumn, leaves start turning red/orange/brown/yellow, I start to have to wear extra layers, put an extra blanket on my bed, Autumn to Winter: heating goes on, scarves and gloves essential, frost in the mornings, dark when I start and finish work, Winter to Spring: big coat can sometimes be replaced by denim jacket, trees blossom, flowers grow, it’s light when I get up and finish work.

Collegiate: did a modern languages degree ( French and Spanish with Italian), really enjoyed it, especially my year abroad in Belgium and Spain

Comfort: in film, Josie from Never Been Kissed. TV: Penelope Garcia from Criminal Minds and book: Anne Shirley from the Anne of Green Gables books.

Cream: yes, eyebrow mascara, under-eye concealer, eyeliner and mascara pretty much every day, can go fancier with smoky eye, eyeshadow and a bold lipstick for an event/feeling fancy.

Crush: no-one irl or online, but find some of the old Hollywood actors ( Gregory Peck, Steve McQueen, Paul Newman) very attractive, as well as some modern-day actors ( Lee Pace, Jake Gyllenhall)

Daffodil: no, but I like to look at plants and flowers and find out what other colours they come in!

Daisy: no, but would love a dog if I had the time, space and money!

Exciting: maybe a day trip to a city I have never been before. Ideally someone would surprise me with tickets to the places that have to be booked in advance so I could see those! Hopefully I could get recommendations for authentic cuisine places to eat and a tour guide so I don’t get lost! Yeah, I don’t do spontaneous and unplanned very well!

Favourites: I love Never Been Kissed, Some Like It Hot, Roman Holiday, Legally Blonde, The 5th Element, The Sixth Sense, Shawshank Redemption... Criminal Minds, Grey’s Anatomy, Veronica Mars, Gilmore Girls... Anne of Green Gables, Little Women, To Kill A Mockingbird, Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, Hunger Games, Like Water For Chocolate...

Flowers: a posh handbag from all my siblings, about 6 years ago, for my birthday. My most recent birthday, the Pillow Talk makeup range from my sister-so generous!

Fun Fact: I did not lose my baby teeth naturally, I had to have them taken out a few at a time as a teen!

Grass: yes, itchy eyes, asthma gets worse, runny nose!

Hobbies: I draw, make cards, write fanfiction and bake/cook. I would love to learn to sing in tune and sew/knit /crochet.  Holiday: Lots of bank holidays and often long weekends in May, plus Easter!

Introspective: asked for help sooner and got out of the self-employed system I was on in one of my previous jobs. Also not having the crushes I had on people only to be painfully rejected, or at least the ability to get over them quicker.

Jam: cakes, cookies, brownies... Mug cakes at the moment, due to not having the appliances/space/materials necessary!

Kiss: hasn’t happened yet!

Lemons: something sweet, rich and probably chocolatey! Profiteroles with ice-cream filling and caramel and chocolate sauce plus whipped cream are my favourite!

Light: more of an early bird, but need to take it slow/not rush.

Love: touch, quality time and words of affirmation for me, but the way I show love is through words of affirmation ( written) and gifts!

Matcha: chocolate frappuccino with extra caramel syrup, or the strawberry-açai Refresha, both from Starbucks.

Meadow: I like both. Swimming in the sea is awesome though, so beach just wins it!

Money: travel, buy houses outright for my friends and family, give some to charities, subscribe to all the online viewing services. I would continue working though!

Music: lots of movie musical soundtracks, Abba, Queen, The Beatles...

New: see Money answer!

Ocean: I love whales and dolphins! 

On/Off: funny people definitely turn me on, generosity, kindness, thirst for knowledge. Arrogance, superiority and selfishness really turn me off!

Partner: funny, generous, kind, wants or already has children. Physically: tall, lean, dark-haired and blue eyed with a nice nose and hands!

Past: don’t be so shy and so paranoid! Ask for help if you need it! Believe in yourself, trust your instincts and love yourself! 

Persona: INFJ, pretty much fit all the criteria to a T! 

Picnic: sitting outside reading under a tree with snacks/a picnic, a swim or a forest walk, then a refreshing drink.

Pride: learning to become more financially responsible, being able to live on my own and keep myself entertained

Quaint: suburbs, as I can get to the big city or the countryside fairly quickly for a change of scene

Rain: warm ( 20-25°C) with a slight breeze and sunny

Recommendations: @themetaphorgirl has written some amazing Criminal Minds AUs!

Sage: love yourself, learn to be content/able to do stuff on your own, take chances, listen to your parents’/older people’s advice. Do your best, be kind and try not to worry too much!

Stars: a little. I know I’m Capricorn, and a fairly typical one, but don’t know my sun, moon or rising signs. If I had to guess, I think they would be water signs!

Striking: blush pink, mustard yellow, purple ( any shade from lilac to plum!), teal, turquoise, red ( again, pretty much any shade!). Rainbow would be a good answer!

Status: chronically single!

Thrill: family wedding this summer, my next birthday as it’s going to be a milestone ending in a zero, meeting my nephew, sending off my niece’s 4th birthday present and card, the boy I nanny turning 6.

Touch: yes, I am very physically affectionate!

Travel: New York, Barcelona, Granada, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Peru/South America... Lots of culture, opportunity to practise my Spanish too!

Universe: maybe, but so far away that we will never find it!

Vernacular: fluency in Spanish and Italian, otherwise, Greek, Russian, Arabic, Dutch and German would be cool to master!

Warning: clumsy! Loyal to a fault, if given chocolate will become your devoted servant forever.

You: I love my creativity, patience and eye for colour as well as my ability to entertain myself/be on my own. I dislike my lack of self-confidence and my poor health.

Youth: not really, it feels like the 90′s/2000′s were only a decade or so ago!

Zoo: I love foxes, peacocks and capybaras!

ask me my top five of anything!

emily prentiss

aaron hotchner

alex blake

spencer reid

elle greenaway

1) liaison jj, as her role was more unique, she was on-screen less but more interesting as a character. She was always quite vocal that she didn’t want to be a profiler, it seemed to come out of nowhere. If she’d shown interest in the run-up ( looking over how to write a profile, asking her team to test her on x/y/z , reading up on it/studying for one of the tests...)I might have found it more believable.

2) profiler emily, as politics were never her thing early on, and I thought she was a great addition to the team. Again, if we’d seen her opinion shift and had her try it before, it would have felt more organic!

3) casual morgan feels truer to his character, as he’s always ready to jump into action-it must be so constrictive to have to wear a suit when you’re kicking down doors/ running after unsubs!

4) hotch in suits. I am a sucker for a classically handsome man in a suit, and the whole put together, show no emotion façade he puts up goes perfectly well with his immaculate suit and perfectly tied tie! It’s close though, as I do love him in casual wear too!

5) hotch without a beard, though it’s close. I normally prefer men clean-shaven, but he rocks the beard!

6) Reid without glasses, I like that it doesn’t perpetuate the stereotypical nerd trope!

7) Reid with short hair. It looks best when Hotch asks him if he joined a boyband, hee!

8) Penelope with blonde hair, by, no pun intended, a hair! As a blonde, I preferred when our hair colours matched! Ironically, I think she looks best as a redhead posing as a blonde in Reflections of Desire, when she has to do a videoed press conference-total Marilyn Monroe off-set vibes!

9) Morgan as unit chief! He did such a great job and could definitely have continued if Hotch had stepped down and taken the 9-5 desk job!

10) I like both for different reasons. Both super smart, but in very different ways, and extremely different personalities. For the language connection and her lovely relationship with Spencer, I’ll say Blake, if I really have to choose!

11) Haven’t seen past Season 11, and the little glimpse I got of Mike wasn’t really enough to pass judgement on him. Luke seems very sweet though, and he ends up with Penelope, and if she likes him that much, I should go for him!

12) early seasons, until about 7/8, when the cliffhangers stopped being so good. The first 4/5 seasons have brilliant finales, I have no idea how anyone who watched when they aired on TV coped until the next season started, as they were total cliff-hangers, with 4 being the best!

13) Foyet arc, as cannot actually bring myself to fully watch all the Scratch eps, just too bloody terrifying. The Foyet arc was so long, with so many little clues, and the reveal about who Foyet actually is made me gasp/get shivers down my spine! 

14) Both, for different reasons! The end of Season 1 had me ordering the Season 2 DVDs immediately, as I only bought Season 1 to see if I got on with the show! Season 7 was a lovely ensemble moment, showcasing the team’s closeness and it just makes me so happy! 

15) Emily, as we got more insight into her character, but, if Elle had stayed, I think she would have grown on me- I didn’t like or relate to her much in Season 1, but liked her arc at the end. They were both tough, take no crap ladies who could be funny. I think Emily also got on better with Penelope/JJ/the other female profilers ( training Todd, great relationship with Tara...).

16) Both interesting characters with their own flaws and merits. Long-term, Seaver would have bern more interesting, and she seemed to gel with the team more, hanging out with Penelope, Morgan and Reid at least once outside of work hours. 

17) Tank top Emily, especially the red one! JJ’s style is preppier, with the shirts, and she looks so beautiful in those light blue shirts she often wore!

18) Hotch in a suit. Matches so well with his personality and makes him even more attractive!

19) Lauren, as have not seen the Spencer episode, as I think it’s post Season 11, with the prison arc. I did however really enjoy the Riley Jenkins episodes, which are pretty Reid-centric!

20) Season 1 Hotch and Haley are so sweet as new parents, and when Hotch is at home they have some adorable moments together that made me squee. However, once Hotch is a single dad, I loved Beth and their relationship. She was really confident, funny, had a great job and would have made a fantastic new partner for Hotch, had she stayed. We only really got to see the bad side of Hotch and Haley after the first season.
