horror symbols: crucifixes
In horror movies, crosses are often used as protective charms or magical weapons against supernatural enemies, but in horror movies critiquing catholicism, it could mean to a character a tramua of theirs and what is being used to scare them.

THERE SHE IS. MY MOM, PRENTISS’ FIRST APPEARANCE
Lmao Hotch being so cute and non-stern when talking to her
Hotch: *High voice* “Oh hi! You’re Ambassador Prentiss’ daughter.” fvakfhd
When she says she was off to Yale at the time Hotch knew her mother and how she’s been in the bureau almost 10 years
Hotch: “Ugh, don’t tell me that. Has it been that long?” Lol don’t worry Hotch you’re still young
Hotch asking if her parents are well and her saying yes followed by like ten seconds of awkward silence 😂
Hotch finally asking “What can I do for you?” and getting all serious when she says she’s supposed to start at the BAU
Oh, Hotch. It’s no mistake, sir, this is OUR Emily 😍
Reid’s hair and glasses combo 👌🏻
Reid analyzing the unsub’s handwriting and explaining it to JJ
JJ: “You got all that from his handwriting?”
Reid: “Graphology is a reliable indicator of personality and behavior!” 😆 I love how enthusiastic he gets
Hotch going in his office and seeing Prentiss sitting on the couch
Hotch: “Please tell me you haven’t been there for the last four days” 😂
Prentiss standing her ground and saying she belongs in this unit 👏🏻 YES
Lessons Learned 2x10
Hotch and Gideon arguing quietly like high school girls about Emily going with Gideon for the case lolll
Them doubting if she even has a go-bag ready as she literally pulls one out while she watches them from her desk
Prentiss knowing Arabic and everyone just staring at her with varying degrees of “Woah” on their face
Gideon telling those soldier guys that the criminal should still be treated like a human being
Giving him clothes and water fjhgohd
The way he was in it for the long trick from the first moment he talked with him
Allowing him the proper times for prayer and whatever he needed to do
Gideon: “Why is it always those who profess to be the most fervent believers in this war, they always manipulate other people to die for them?”
The way he tricked him with the fake news report and acted completely genuine and convincingly
Later on the plane when Gideon asking Prentiss if she plays chess
Her happy smile as she says “Yes sir. I play” and he starts setting up the board
Finally accepted by Gideon 😊

ANTON YELCHIN 😭💙
Nathan stopping Reid and telling him he saw his lecture and Reid’s face lighting up as he does his adorable, enthusiastic nods
Reid’s face slowly changing to realization as Nathan asked what it would mean if an unsub was killing prostitutes and cutting off their hair
Reid quickly walking into the bullpen and telling them he may have met the unsub and showing them his drawing
His drawing making Nathan look like a little alien 😂 Oh, Reid
When Reid and Garcia are trying to figure out how to find him and she tells him to think like a high school kid
Reid: “I was 12 and I hadn’t gone through puberty when I was in high school” 🤭
Nathan being so scared to talk about his dangerous thoughts
All of the similarities between Nathan and Reid
Morgan telling Reid that he’s not his responsibility
Reid being adamant that it is because Nathan knows Reid understands him
Reid: “I know what it’s like to be afraid of your own mind” 😔 Same, Reid, let me hug you
Reid: “What was up with Hotch today?”
Morgan, laughing: “I don’t know. Maybe he tied that knot in his tie a little too tight” 😂
Reid telling them to get Nathan a psych eval and being persistent with it when they say they shouldn’t do it if he’s not their unsub
Reid: “He deserves to know what’s happening to him”
Garcia telling Reid it’s not his job to hold his hand through it
Reid saying it’s like with his mom, how he thought if he learned everything about schizophrenia that he could somehow fix her 😩
Oh, Reid, feeling such a connection to him and wanting to help him
Reid knowing exactly where to find Nathan when he runs away
Later Nathan going to the BAU to tell Reid goodbye before being sent to the mental hospital the next day
Him calling it his “last day of freedom” ahhh the fact that he wanted to make sure he said goodbye to Reid
Him going to the prostitute and putting Reid’s card on the desk after taking out to scalpel
Reid immediately rushing to him after the prostitute calls him
Telling Garcia to help him put pressure on Nathan’s cut wrists and having such a panicked, high voice 😫
Gideon telling Reid that Nathan would’ve died if it hadn’t been for him and holding the back of his neck as they walk away
Awww so nice, even my dad said “Gideon’s like ‘Good job, son’”
