So Much Random, So Little Time

Hunting Screen Caps for Your Ship: An Epic in 10 Parts.

I was going to do a confession but eff it….

I think it’s so shitty for people to hate on Alex Blake over this perceived notion she replaced Emily Prentiss.  SHE.  DID.  NOT.  Emily left on her own accord, more importantly Paget left after the fucked up way CBS crapped on her.  Alex Blake hasn’t done ANYTHING to receive this animosity, nor have the writers bothered to flesh her out to give her more depth.  Now if people don’t care for her because they find her boring, that’s on the writers, not Alex.  But hating based on Emily’s departure makes zero sense.  Rant over.

How many Alex Blake hate confessions are they going to post?  For other kinds of confessions, they just do one and post the similar confessions thing.  The mods seem to get a kick out of Alex hate confessions.

Its really tough where you’re in more than one fandom and characters share names.  TV writers, you’ve got to get more creative.

A show can be on two episodes and people have ships and OTPs? Wow, I like watching shows just for shows. The other stuff comes later, if at all.

I love going into other fandom’s tags and just enjoying characters and commentary.

It was a rush job for sure, and they did the best they could. Josh is great and so is Will as a character. It will never be perfect but the hate is insane. There are more righteous writing arguments about the show to have if that’s the case.

Generally the reason I like the relationship writing in this show is because when they decide to add conflict it’s got a good reason behind it. (with one notable Kevin and Garcia moment that we’ll forget exists, but even then I don’t hate Garcia because of one thing she said in one episode that one time). So, I won’t say perfection, especially in moments with outside factors, but I can appreciate the well roundedness of most of it. 

Like, I’ve seen people say that because he was upset/frustrated with her going back to the BAU he’s terrible for her because he doesn’t respect her career options therefore he has no respect for her as she is very career orientated. I watched that episode a few days ago, and Will’s main bug there was because Henry was sick. And regardless, he’s allowed an opinion anyway as a member of the family who is affected by her life choices. I mean, If I was in Will’s situation I’d probably be grumpy too. He left his whole job and life behind in New Orleans to be with her and Henry so she could keep her job, then he was okay with staying with Henry till he was old enough so JJ could work. JJ then got a job (unwillingly)  where she could be with them on weekends and night then went back to hellish hours with no respect for weekends regardless of their family.

I’d say he had a good reason to be irritated. She has a right to want her job back, too, she was torn out of her unit with no choice to a place she didn’t want to be. But it’s not like his points were baseless. I hate it when people put main characters on a pedestal to make their other halves look bad. The main characters are too well rounded to be without flaws. I don’t care who everybody agrees with in that little spat they had about her work, but if they’re saying one character doesn’t even have a leg to stand on they’re deliberately ignoring something for their own agenda. 

and yes, if you want to argue your socks off there is a truck load of ethical debate you could tap into in the show. Normally if i write my socks off about something it’s because I’ve seen a post that has bothers me so much that I wanted to add my own thoughts, though. 

And JJ and Henry mean everything to Will. He left his life behind because he loved her and wanted to raise their family together as he’d lost his father and maybe even his mother too. And he did have a right to be upset about her choosing to return to the BAU knowing it would keep them all separated so much even though in the end he swallowed that as well. I was glad to see he returned to being an investigator, something he loves so much though I cant imagine how that must be for Henry having two parents who are always in danger. But the pedestal thing, yes, that’s it exactly. There are so many things that the characters do at given times that I dont agree with or downright hate. But some fans see some characters in a white light and there is no wrong. It doesnt just happen with love interests but amongst teammates as well, and surely with spouses/lovers, who are just secondary characters and who cares about them anyway kind of deal. I havent liked every partner/spouse for my own reasons in my own moments but it wasnt because the main character is always right and good and true. We all have our own reason for anything but the way some of these characters get treated is so harsh…the Kevin and Beth tags I refuse to even go into anymore because its just vitriol and hate. Not all of it but so much of it, especially now with Kevin and Garcia going through what they’re going through (dont even get me started) and the whole Beth is a stalker/Unsub thing still a year after her introduction. I guess I’ll never really understand and I totally see the validity of your argument and why these things make you so mad.

When you really love people but they have vastly different ships than you do.

Every time I want more Criminal Minds and I go into a character or actor tag, it only takes me about 5 minutes to regret the decision. What the feez is with MGG/Reid being all up and the through the other tags? If I wanted him I would’ve searched for him. And there’s a lot of hate and vitriol and ridiculousness and I forget sometimes that I stick to myself and a small group for a reason and when I expose myself to the whole of its my own damn fault but sometimes I forget and just want a Hotch fix.

Haters gon hate…OMG, all the time, for every damn thing. Just shut the hell up!
