knowing that billy hargrove did shitty things and should be held accountable for his actions and knowing that he was a survivor with valid trauma responses and worthy of at least a chance at redemption are two things that can and do coexist in my mind

To those of y’all still posting art, headcanons, clips, screenshots, 3D models, and even little ramble blogs of Morston, I love you.
You’re carrying this tiny little ship on your shoulders despite the constant harassing in your inboxes, and I hope the hate doesn’t get to you. People still think we’re pedophiles, transphobes, racists, terrorists (yes unfortunately), child groomers, r*pists and god knows what else. Unfortunately most of us can’t even address the situation without getting violently mocked, and it’s STILL ongoing.
I think people never consider the actual psychological pov of the shippers, they’re always quick to jump that we’re.. child predators?? For shipping something they headcanon as ‘incestous’?? Some of us are literally still minors, and believe me when I say none of us shipped them for incestious/predatory reasons as you all suspect and blame us for. We NEVER had intentions to make it incestious NOR paedophilic, but hey ho, just because one person claimed so, everyone had to throw in the same accusations. I wanted to avoid speaking of all this but at this point it’s just becoming cruel.
If you found out a family member or an irl friend of yours shipped something you hate, would you also cry about it? Wouldn’t you THEN consider that attacking them would be inhumane behaviour? But nahhh, we can be cunts on the internet just ‘cuz we aren’t free enough to do so away from the screen in fear actual human beings would call us insane, right?
Morston is not problematic, but you all gaslit yourselves into thinking it’s a severe issue in the fandom and that we’re horrible people. Is it? Isn’t our ‘problematic’ behaviour natural when we’re constantly getting harassed? So we can’t defend ourselves and our friends when they’re getting straight up bullied? Are you so clinically online to think it’s perfectly okay to go and harass people over what, two fictional characters? What’s worse is that there’s enough proof to make it acceptable, but you all just HAVE to disagree just to prove yourselves right. And then you get all sensitive and whiney when it leads to consequences or when people stand up to you. You not ONLY harass the shippers, but you forcefully drive people away from us. You harass anyone innocent who does as little as reblog our art. And what’s worse is we’re expected to sit down, zip our mouthes and watch you shit on us on a daily basis.
No Emily, we don’t want to hear your one millionth weekly rant blog on why Morston shippers should stay away from you. Neither do we need a reminder that we’re crusty.
And to know that almost the entire fandom claps for this kind of behaviour honestly disgusts me. Besides, I thought THE Roger Clark HIMSELF told y’all to cut the bullshit. Or did y’all completely disregard that just to fit your desires?

Long-ish post about me ranting. (Not important) (Ignore it)
So I was going on the Klei store to get some Maxwell merch (cause why not) And I found nothing.
There is a Charlie poster with just her and the only thing with Maxwell is the the 10 year poster with him in the background. (And the 10 year shirt), (Wilson is the only one else with a poster to himself but he is the main character) Which struck me as weird cause Charlie isn't that big of a character, if you only play the game you hear about her but never see her. It is only if you look at the lore you know who she is. Which is why I find it odd that Maxwell doesn't have more representation from Klei.
Tumblr media
So I got curious and checked the shorts he is in (Mainly his own short) and he is either a side character or sharing the spotlight with some one else (i.e. Charlie in his short. Where it was more lore going forward instead of background info about him, there was some but mainly him and Charlie) (Like what about his childhood with Jack or something, what was William like?) The only place he is really alone is the intro to the musical Klei did.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Which it struck me as weird that Maxwell would be sharing his short with Charlie (I get that they were stage show partners) but shorts like Wilson and Willow Maxwell is only either a voice or not even there, giving the spot light to someone else.
He is also no where to be seen in the 10th anniversary loading screen thingy
Tumblr media
I think it is just weird that Klei is sidelining Maxwell (IN MY OPINION) Like he is such a good character (This may be my bias kicking in) and he was the only other character (not a playable until you unlock him) in the original game and you can't play Charlie in dst.
I would like a short where it is his childhood with jack and how William acted.
Ignore this entire post, this was just a rant.

Does anyone ever think about how the only other person besides Guda who affirms in text that Morgan's Britain was beautiful... is fucking Percival of all people?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Percival. A manufactured human of Faerie Britain who can't live more than 30 years, leader of the rebel army fighting against her, named after one of the Knights of the Round Table from Proper Human History, the human raised as a backup Child of Prophecy, the human who took up the spear Morgan discarded. Of all fucking people.

oc(s) of choice who you think would have the clearest or strongest feelings about it, perhaps: what do they want done with their body when/after they die?
[OOUUUGGHGH THIS IS SUCH A GOOD QUESTION i'm gonna do this for morgan]
MORGAN: so so very torn here because on the one hand, i want to be composted. because that's something you can do with bodies now which is very, VERY cool actually. but i also want my skeleton to be kept as a halloween decoration - or just a year-round decoration - because it would be really funny. maybe not to anyone else, though. but i think it's hilarious. you could dress me up for any and every occasion. weekend at bernie's type beat, y'know. but i also want to, like, become a mushroom. that'd be cool. just like, some little guy out in the woods, chilling. god, that'd be so good. not a care in the world. but can i, as a mushroom, be dressed to the nines in the shadows of a haunted house? absolutely not. but i would have friends as a mushroom, though. i hope i don't die before i decide what i want, because otherwise everyone's gonna put me in a box. i've made it VERY clear i don't want to be put in a box. lou knows this. i will not stop reminding her of this. i know she knows but i need to KNOW that she KNOWS. if not i AM gonna come back and kick her ass. as a ghost. we both know i have the potential to do that. ghosts have kicked us in the ass before. and they'll do it again! AND I'LL DO IT TOO IF I DON'T GET TURNED INTO A SPIRIT HALLOWEEN PROP YOU FUCKING-. [dial tone] [end of transmission]

Spencer thought!! Love thinking spencer would ramble facts to his crush, and her absolutely eating it up. Derek teasing spencer about how he should "actually flirt" and not give her facts. Spencer tries to take his advice by holding himself back from ranting, then gets flustered when she asks him for facts. And that leads him to bragging to Derek how his "bad" flirting actually work. Have a good day! <3
“I’ll have you know Derek Morgan, she likes my rambling.” Spencer comes into work with a spring in his step and two coffees in his hand.
“What are you talking about, Pretty Ricky?” Derek looks over his computer, hand reaching for one of the coffees.
“Y/n. You said stop rambling so much to her and flirt, turns out my rambling is considered flirting.” Derek isn’t any less confused.
Spencer shrugs, sipping his coffee as he recounts the details of your date last night. Telling Derek how not rambling left room for him to be a little more awkward until you’d come right out and ask him for a fact about the amount of chain restaurants in the area.
“And she was actually listening. Not just listening to be polite!” Derek didn��t think there’d ever be a point in time where you listened to Spencer just to be polite.
You come in a little bit after their conversation, holding two paper bags and a large dish and Spencer stills. You’re in your regular work pants, a little flared at your legs and a compression top, in a pretty purple. His breath hitches when you smile at him.
Spencer rushes to help you hold the dish. “Morning, Spence. That’s a coffee cake I made for everyone.” You give Derek a smile as you set down your other things on your desk.
“There’s breakfast for you and you can’t deny having it because I’ll be sad and I’ll cry to convince you to eat it.”
Spencer chuckles, taking a peek into one of the bags and finding his favourite in there. “I wouldn’t make you cry. Will you sit with me?” Derek watches with some amusement as you scramble to set your things in the kitchen.
The rest of the team make poor concealments at ogling the two of you having breakfast together.
Emily hitting Derek on the arm as Spencer wipes a bit of butter from the corner of your mouth and JJ and Hotch smiling as you stumble through the rest of your sentence.
“Okay so he can put the moves on.” Emily says, more like sibling chiding than anything.
“When do you think they’ll ask each other to be official?” JJ asks, eyes still glued to the two of you, clearly lost in your own worlds.
“Maybe next month is Spence keeps it up.” Hotch really hopes you make it official soon.

I LIKE YOU, IDIOT
pairings: spencer reid x gn!reader.
in which you have a flirty personality with everyone on the team, except spencer, and he starts to notice.
Tumblr media
you walked out of the elevator and towards your desk, located across from spencer’s desk. “hey, spence.” you softly whispered.
he yawned and looked up from his computer screen to face you, “hey. what are you doing here so late?” he questioned.
“oh, you’re not happy to see me?” you joked, quickly retracting your statement when you saw his panicked expression. “i was kidding, spencer, sorry.” you laughed, pausing for a second, “i’m just bringing my go bag back, then i’m going home until the next case.” you held up your bag before you opened a cabinet next to your desk and placed it inside. “i could ask the same question. what are you doing here?” you hummed.
“i was doing the same thing as you, but i got caught up in some of these case files.” he replied, earning a nod from you.
“okay, well, make sure you get some rest, alright? we need that genius brain of yours.” you smiled, spencer biting back his own smile, watching as you walked back towards the elevator, pressing the ‘down’ button. the elevator doors opened moments later and you strolled in, turning around to face the doors as they started to shut. “hold on!” spencer abruptly got up, not even aware of what he was doing as he ran towards the elevator, stopping the doors from closing so he could get in with you.
“you heading out now?” you raised an eyebrow.
spencer scratched the back of his neck, his lips pressed into a firm line, “no.” He said.
“oh?..”
he looked at your confused face, suddenly feeling nervous. “i’ve been wanting to ask you this for a long time, actually, since a while after you joined the team.” spencer started.
“okay, shoot.”
“why don’t you flirt with me?” he gulped.
“excuse me?” you shook your head, taken aback by the question.
“you, uh, jokingly flirt with everyone on the team, especially with morgan and even with hotch? but, you’ve never once done that with me. are we not friends?” he frowned. he started feeling stupid, something that rarely happened to the young genius, when you let out a laugh.
“spence, of course we’re friends! i consider you one of my closest friends.” you reassured him.
“so what is it then? am i not funny? do i not have the looks for you to joke around about, stuff like that, with me?” the man started feeling insecure the more he rambled on about why you don’t do the same with him.
you decided to cut his rant off, “i like you, idiot.” you scoffed.
“what?” he looked stunned, not even noticing the elevator doors started to open.
you grabbed his hand, leading him out of the elevator, “i don’t joke around like that with you because if i did, i wouldn’t be joking anymore, okay?” you grinned, stepping closer to him.
spencer didn’t know what to say, so he instead decided to pull you closer to him. he wrapped his arms around your waist and kissed you.
“take me out tomorrow, after work.” you pulled away from the kiss moments later, despite the fact that you wanted to keep going. “deal?” you asked him.
“deal.” he grinned.

Tumblr media
❦ IF YOU’LL LET ME
cw: mature, early seasons spencer, loss of virginity, soft sex, fem!reader, praise, mentions of alcohol
Tumblr media
“hey, spence. it’s late.”
his eyes dart down to your chest, words stuck in his throat but you don’t seem to mind. instead you continue to dab your shirt, holding open the door and turning your back as you head in to allow him to follow you into your hotel room.
the plush duvet folds under your weight as you sit on the bed, spencer stands awkwardly eyeing the table beside the fridge.
“you were drinking?” he asks.
you chuckle a bit and motion to your wet shirt. “i was trying, but the mini bar had other ideas.”
his nimble fingers pick up the small bottle, briefly glancing over the label before bringing it to his nose and grimacing at the smell.
“didn’t know you like whiskey.” he says.
“spencer.” you lean back on your hands, eyes trailing over his lanky frame and combed back hair. “what are you doing here?”
“am i not welcome?”
“you’re always welcome,” you shake your head. “if you let me know why. we’re flying back home in the morning, something bothering you?”
spencer attempts to place the bottle back on the table, but his clumsy fingers knock it over, causing a disruptive sound to ricochet through the room as the glass comes in contact with the wood. he awkwardly tries to catch it, placing it back up right and taking his hands far away from it.
the boy’s gaze moves back towards you, his mouth opening to answer your question when he looks back down at your chest and flushes, turning his head towards the door.
“don’t you want to change your shirt?” he asks.
the dark fabric clings to your skin, highlighting your silhouette and putting your tits on display.
“it’s my room.” you say and stand up. he doesn’t look towards you.
“i can’t imagine wet fabric that reeks of alcohol being preferred to a clean and warm shir—“
“—spence.” you cut him off, standing in front of him. “what’s wrong?”
his focus flickers to your face for a split second.
“nothing is wrong, i just… i was thinking…”
your instinct is to pull a joke at his words, but with his demeanour you could tell this was really bugging him, so you refrain.
“about?” you prompt softly.
“you…” his fingers travel back to the mini whiskey bottle, tinkering with it. “i’ve been thinking of you a lot lately…”
you couldn’t help the small smile that tugs at your lips.
“you have?” it comes out in a soft tone, and spencer nods. “what about me?”
you had an idea as to what has been bugging spencer. with the warm weather finally making a comeback, morgan has been going on his yearly appreciation rants about spring break. women having fun and warm weather we’re two of his favourite things, the sex that usually leads to that was just a bonus.
everyone figured spencer hadn’t had an experience like that, not having gone through the typical childhood, after all. and it didn’t take a room full of profilers to notice the way his eyes stayed on you for a second longer than everyone else.
spencer sighs.
“morgan said i should just go for it.” he mumbles.
you take a step closer to him, looking up through your lashes at his handsome face. “i agree with him.”
you see his adam’s apple bob from a harsh gulp.
“can—can i kiss you?” he whispers.
you nod your head.
and his lips are soft. spencer is so gentle and awkward as he kisses you that it’s you who grabs his hands and guides them to your hips. it seems he has a hard time touching you and kissing you at the same time, alternating between the two every few seconds and setting a choppy pace. you feel him start to get angry with himself at not being able to do both at once.
you pull away. “it’s okay, spencer.”
“i’m sorry, i’m new to this.” he rambles quickly and you giggle, taking his hand and pulling him to sit on the bed.
you take the place next to him and look into his eyes, bringing his hand back to your waist.
“you can do whatever you want.” you give him permission.
his hands start to wander your body. those curious fingers that clumsily knocked over the whiskey now exploring the curves of your body. his focus followed his hands, and you watch his face, smiling at the look of wonder on his face as his touch travelled higher up.
when they reach your face, his hands cup your jaw and he pulls you slowly towards him. you hum softly into his mouth, getting lost in his gentleness.
it’s not longer before you find yourself pressed up against his body, enjoying your own exploration of him until you come down to his pants.
“do you want to continue?” you ask him after feeling his hard on.
spencer gulps a bit, but nods. “please, if you’ll let me.”
you smile at him and move back, finally taking off your wet shirt, his eyes once again zone in on your chest. he reaches out a tentative hand, and when he doesn’t get a slap on the wrist he touches your skin.
it gives him a surge of confidence and he goes back to kiss you. the make out session staying slow but heating up as you two began to undress each other, both looking with wonder at each other’s bare bodies.
you find him mounted on top of you as you lay on the soft duvet, his fingers between your legs as he listens to the noises you make.
“how are you so good at this?” you gasp, eyes screwed shut.
“the clitoris has over 10 000 nerve endings, more than any other part of your—”
you kiss him, not meaning to shut him up but you just couldn’t help it, he was too cute.
he lets out a small whine when you pull away from him, and you can’t help but coo as you grab a packet from the nightstand.
“don’t worry, spence, it’s not over.”
he breaths a sigh of relief, allowing you to roll the condom onto him before you fall onto your back again.
“are you sure about this?” he asks, grabbing the base of his dick to line up with you. you nod.
“please, spencer, if you’ll let me.”
your eyes close in content as he fills you up.
“you feel so good.” you mumble, and he pulls back a bit to thrust softly.
you don’t hold back on noises, wanting spencer to feel confident that he’s doing a good job.
“w-wow.” he gasps.
“i know, baby, i know.” you reach your hand up to card through his hair. “you’re doing so good.”
he picks up the pace again, breaths becoming heavy as he gets the hang of making himself feel good.
you feel him going quick, muttering about being close as you tell him, “you’re making me feel so good, spencer. please cum, i want you to feel good, too.”
he groans your name, voice catching in his throat as he cums into the condom, but he doesn’t stop. you hear his pained noises of over stimulation as he continues his thrusting.
“spencer, what are you doing?” you ask, a bit concerned.
“you didn’t cum. ‘need to make you feel good, too.” he mumbles.
“oh, baby, no.” you go to kiss his lips, drawing his attention away from thrusting as he melts into you. “you made me feel so good already, this night is about you.”
“but—”
“—no buts.” you give him another kiss. “lay down with me now, you need rest.”
you can tell he wants to argue some more, but his body betrays him, falling into your embrace as you hold him.
“you did so good, spencer.” you reassure him, fingers in his hair as you coax him to relax.
“i did?” he asks, tone unbelieving.
you kiss his forehead. “so, so good.”

How would react (oc of your choice) to a drunk s/o that is like ''dont touch me i have a boyfriend'' and starts ranting about how handsome wonderful etc etc etc his bf is.
decided to do morgan because i haven't gotten any asks for him yet !! hope that's alright ,,, plz enjoy !! <3333
<3-<3-<3-<3-<3-<3-<3-<3-<3
<3 morgan, at first, is confused when you suddenly start pushing him away and slurring and muttering something he can't understand. but when he can finally make out what you're saying .. he can't help the smug smirk that grows on his face.
you push yourself away from morgan, who was simply trying to keep you steady, and slur out, "no- don't touch me, i have a boyfriend! -" before tripping over your own feet and almost falling to the ground before morgan catches you.
he rolls his eyes, wrapping his arm around your waist, ignoring your whines (not realizing what you had just said,) "i'll stop touching you if you'll sit on the couch." he says. you push weakly away from him and let out a huff but lean into him and let him walk you to his couch. he smells kind of nice, though. you think.
morgan sits you on the couch and gets you a bottle of water, which you drink as he sits beside you and (tries) to put his arm around you but you shove his arm off and scoot away from him. "i told you to stop touching me." you say angrily.
morgan throws his hands up, "and why can't i touch you?" he asks.
"because i have a boyfriend!"
... he's confused for a second. are you that drunk that you can't tell that he is your boyfriend? .. morgan smirks, maybe he could have some fun with this.
"oh, yeah?" he teases, "what's his name?"
"his name is morgan," you slur, "and he's like.. the best boyfriend ever." morgan blushes and is a little taken aback, but quickly asks you another question. "he is? tell me about him."
you then go on a drunk rant about morgan, telling him how attractive he is, about your movie/game nights, the latest gift he made for you, little things about him that he didn't even notice himself, and you just go on and on and on about how cool and amazing you think morgan is and he's bright red by the end of it. he didn't think he could fall more in love with you but hearing you talk so affectionately about him? it's doing things to him.
"oh, yeah, and when he plays the guitar i swear i fall more in love with him-" you ramble before you get cut off.
"y/n?" morgan asks.
"yeah?" you respond.
"guess what."
"what?"
"i am your boyfriend."
you look morgan up and down and a look of realization washes over your face as your cheeks heat up. "...oh."
<3-<3-<3-<3-<3-<3-<3-<3-<3
he then laughs at you (affectionately) and once you're sober he will never let you live it down and it will become a running joke. if this scenario happened with my other ocs august would just worry himself to death because how could he let you get this drunk?? he'll take extremely good care of you though. jude would just start crying because he thinks you're cheating on him. also sorry if this is inaccurate i've never really been drunk before LMAO
luv-bvgg out !

know when to walk away. know when to run.
fandom: criminal minds
w/c: 1943
content: fluff very cartoony goofy fluff
summary: morgan bets reid he can't go a day without rambling. reid takes him up on it.
a/n: i got a little carried away with everything that wasn't the main course but i promise it is there towards the end. open to criticism ☝️, i am still new at this and looking to improve.
p.s the penelope rant was all me i am penelope.
~~~~~~~~
Derek was starting to feel guilty. To an outside observer, nothing seemed unusual. Reid was sitting across from him on the jet, reading some book in Russian. At least he thought it was Russian. When he asked Reid if it was, he made a face which indicated it was not actually Russian. Any other day he would've corrected Derek on the fact it was Ukrainian (which Derek had to find out after looking the book up on his phone - tedious.) Any other day Reid would passionately explain away a passage in the book that particularly interested him. But today he was completely silent.
It was really starting to get to Derek. And he could tell the kid knew he was getting to him. Spencer would check his watch every so often, glimpse at him with a smug ass look on his face, then go back to his book. It was infuriating.
-----
The unsub they had been dealing with was a bride-killer. He targeted women during their bachelorette parties days before the women were set to be married. The only reason for him to pick such high-profile, high-risk women is if it were a compulsion.
“Maybe he’d gotten cheated on during his own bride’s bachelorette party,” Rossi said.
“Wouldn't he have to stalk these women for weeks to know they were getting married?” JJ questioned.
“Not necessarily,” said Morgan. “Wearing a bride-to-be sash like the victims were would be like waving a red cape at a bull.”
“It’s a common misconception but actually, bulls are colorblind. So it doesn't really matter what color the matador waves - it’s the cape’s movement that elicits an aggressive charge response in the bull.”
“...”
Everyone stared at Reid in a silence that stretched for seemingly forever. He shrunk under their intense gaze.
“Um, Morgan’s metaphor still applies here, though.”
Derek laughed the way he always did right before he teased Reid.
“I bet he can’t go a day without saying some completely unrelated fun fact during the investigation. He just can’t help himself.”
“It wasn’t completely unrelated..” Reid mumbled shyly, before speaking to be heard. “I can. But where's the fun in that?”
“You wanna put money on that?”
"Ooh, careful Morgan. Gambling with a Vegas boy is bound to go wrong." Rossi joked.
“The stakes are too unclear. And there would be too many technicalities. We'd argue over what constitutes as irrelevant to the investigation, what counts as a fun fact..” he trailed off as he realized the stares and silence were back.
“Okay, pretty boy. New stakes. I bet you can’t go without talking for… at least twelve hours. About anything.”
“Can I make any noise?”
“Hmm. Nah.”
“How much money?”
“Reid, Morgan, focus up.” Hotch pinched the bridge of his nose indignantly. “We need Reid to talk until the investigation is over. Then you can wager on your own time.” Hotch brought everyone’s attention back to catching the killer. From over his copy of the case file, Reid mouthed to Morgan. You’re on.
-----
It started right after the unsub was processed. Immediately after. As in, while Morgan was putting the suspect in cuffs, he had turned to Reid and said, “50 bucks?”
“Sure,” he replied. “Starting when?” The local PD came to take the unsub away.
“Now?”
Reid smiled confidently in response.
“Great work, everybody.” Hotch walked up to the team huddled inside the killer’s home. “Let’s get out of here. I’m buying coffee. What does everyone want?”
Reid opened his mouth to say something before pursing his lips. This would be harder than he thought.
-----
On the jet ride home, Derek had been trying to goad Reid into saying something. He facetimed Penelope.
“Hey mama, I got a question for you. Here, let me put you on speaker.”
“Oh! I love questions. You know I know everything. What’s up?”
He looked at Reid smugly as he talked, even though the kid was fixated on his book. “Why exactly does ‘Doctor Who’ spend so much time in places that look exactly like Earth when he's got a whole universe to explore? There ain’t no way Earth is more interesting than the entire universe.”
Oh my. The look on Reid’s face was devastating. The only time Morgan would ever willingly discuss Doctor Who, he couldn’t join the conversation. Derek’s heart would’ve broken if he hadn’t found it hilarious.
“...okay. Sweetheart, first of all, he is not called ‘Doctor Who.’ He’s called ‘The Doctor.’ Okay?” Penelope sighed, agitated. Some relief washed over Reid’s face as if that was what he wanted to say.
“Doctor Who is the name of the show. His identity is a mystery and he just goes by The Doctor. So people and alienfolk all go ‘Huh? What do you mean? Doctor Who?’ and that’s why the show is called that. You wouldn't call Captain Kirk 'Star Trek: The Original Series.'" Reid was positively pouting.
"Second of all, I heard about the little challenge you placed unto our baby genius and I will have no part in his torture. Tata.” Penelope hung up the phone.
Derek frowned and put the phone in his pocket. “Damn… I really was curious. Do you mind answering my question?” he taunted Reid with a toothy grin. Reid scowled and returned to his book. A true miracle he had so much self control over his hand gestures.
-----
Two hours had passed slowly and silently. It wasn’t fun anymore. Morgan had seen Reid perk up at least three times to infodump about the books he’s read during the flight, before he caught himself. Each time he was stupidly dejected afterward. Morgan didn’t love it. He hated it. The kid had been shut up his entire life by his peers and bullies. And now by his friends. His heart was actually starting to ache seeing his friend’s gaze become more and more distant.
“Hey, kid. Let’s just call it off.”
Spencer met his eyes and raised a brow.
“I wanna hear about the story. Genuinely.”
Spencer looked down at his watch, then crossed his arms. Morgan scoffed.
“Seriously, you want the 50 dollars that bad? There’s still an hour left before we land.” He didn't want to see Reid be depressed for the entire remainder of the flight. And the longer it went, it seemed less likely he'd be up for talking even after the time limit. Morgan couldn't handle that.
“C’mon man, it’s unhealthy for a brain to store so much information without an outlet. You’ll explode.”
Spencer smiled and huffed out of his nose. His eyes went wide. He awkwardly looked over to the side at nothing.
“..Was that a noise?” Spencer frowned and shook his head. A figmental lightbulb went off over Derek’s head.
He walked over to sit side-by-side with Spencer, who eyed him cautiously. He sighed. Maybe it was inappropriate to play dirty, but Spencer wasn't exactly giving him an option.
“Listen, we can do this the easy way. Where you open your mouth right now and call me an asshole for ever suggesting this stupid bet in the first place. Or we can do this, uh…” he grinned impishly, wiggling the fingers of one of his hands. “..the hard way.”
Spencer’s jaw clenched at the implication. He braved a face of nonchalance and for a moment, Derek thought maybe he wasn’t even ticklish. Or maybe he didn’t think Derek would actually do it. They were in front of their boss after all, their unit chief of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Behavioral Analysis Unit. Not in grade school.
But then Derek saw the red of his ears slowly make its way down to his cheeks and decided he couldn’t help himself. Plus, the kid wasn’t talking.
"Okay, have it your way."
It was childish, Derek would be the first to admit it. But he’d kill two birds with one stone. End the bet, and get Reid to smile a bit.
He wiggled an index finger lightly at the side of Spencer’s neck, which immediately got trapped. Spencer reached up to pull the hand out, before his wrist was snatched and Derek clawed at his ribs.
To Derek’s surprise, Spencer stayed quiet. His physical reaction, however, made up for it. He jerked and contorted so hard his back ended up on the seat of his chair. One leg curled up to protect the attacked side, while the other sprawled over Derek.
He kept his lips and eyes shut so tight they quivered.
“You’re kidding.” Derek was indignant. This was the most stubborn he’d ever seen him. “You can’t keep this up for an hour.”
After spending some time there, he moved up into his underarm. Spencer broke out into an open mouth grin and another spasm. But still no noise.
Derek let go of his wrist - bicep burning from Spencer's struggle against him - to use both his hands to tickle. Something happened that completely bewildered him.
Spencer was laughing. He was trembling, his stomach was tense, and his throat bobbed as it always did when he laughed. But it was silent. How the hell was he doing that? Why was he just taking it? Is he really going to endure this torture for the rest of the flight?
If he could, oh man. There was no way in hell Derek would stop. This was a much better sight than the sad quiet Spencer from earlier. He just wished he could hear it.
Derek was broken out of his thoughts when he saw tears fall from Spencer’s eyes, which suddenly looked much more desperate. He was turning a concerning shade of red. The drawback of silent laughter finally registered in Derek’s brain.
“Woah Jesus, kid! Breathe!” Derek immediately stilled his hands, reaching instead to grab hold of Reid’s face. It was hot to the touch. He quickly wiped away Reid's tears, which felt a bit intimate, but he didn't want the team to see he had accidentally tickled their greatest asset into crying. He figured Reid wouldn't want them to see either.
Derek helped him sit upright. Spencer breathed hard, a smile gracing his face as he peacefully closed his eyes in relief and weariness. His lips shaped in a circle to steady his breathing.
Absolutely infuriating. He would have passed out before he lost. It was a battle of wills, and even when Derek held all the cards, he folded first.
He wondered why Spencer was going so far for something so dumb. If he was trying to prove something to himself, to his team, to all the bullies who shut him up, Morgan would never live down the guilt. He hoped it was as simple as Reid just being a competitive little shit.
He groaned. “Okay, fine! You win, Spencer. You proved your point. You know how to stay quiet. Hell, not even I could…" he cleared his throat. "..uh, the point is, you won. You can have the 50 bucks. Please just talk to me.”
Spencer was still panting, the smile on his face seemed permanent. “You're.. an asshole,” he breathed. “And a cheater.”
“Yeah, I know.” Derek laughed.
“I still won, though. Whew."
“Yeah, yeah..” Relief. He was a competitive little shit.
"Can't believe you couldn't take just three hours of me not talking! You must really love learning."
He scoffed. "Whatever." Alright. The kid was starting to get cocky.
“Hasn't anyone ever told you cheaters never prosper?"
“Oh, that’s rich coming from you.” He pinched at his side and Spencer laughed. Audibly, this time. Garcia would call it a swoon-worthy sound. Maybe those were his words.
He pulled out his government issued wallet before his hand was stopped. “Oh. I don’t actually want your money.”
“A bet’s a bet, Reid. You earned it fair and square.”
“You wouldn’t take it if you had won.” Spencer smiled. “Just buy me a coffee when we land. I didn’t get any earlier.”
Derek shrugged. If he took any lesson away from this, it was that the doctor was stubborn. “Alright, fine by me.”
“And listen when I say the whole point of the Doctor’s archetype is to love Earth - specifically humanity - and for logistical reasons it’s just more convenient for the setting to be on Earth or on a planet that resembles Cardiff, Wales..” Here we go. Spencer rambled on, speaking quickly and more with his hands than anything. Derek rolled his eyes, but he sat back and listened.

based on your reactions to aa2, especially how you enjoy that the cases more relate to and help develop pre-existing characters, I’m INCREDIBLY excited to see you play aa3. it’s a fantastic game and I’m happy for you to experience it yknow!!!!!
i'm really excited too! i don't have any idea what to expect, so i'm kind of scared, but it seems like a lot of people are excited for me to play it, so i'm sure i'll have a good time!
aa2 very much had its good and bad moments; 2 really good cases kind of bracketing a pretty... lackluster one, and especially because it started off with a silly scenario for the tutorial case it had this down-up-down-up timeline to it in terms of how serious i took it. (not to say that in a bad way, i still had fun! ...mostly) however both 2-2 and 2-4, as well as That One Specific moment in 2-3 were very strong points and definitely gave me a lot to think about. overall, i had a really good experience.
like you said in the ask, i really noticed the character development in everyone since aa1, and that's one of my favorite things about this game. observing brand new dynamics between characters we just met and even characters we already knew created a really interesting and wonderful narrative. just as an example, my friends have already heard my rant about how the reason we were able to succeed the final trial of 2-4 was because edgeworth was the prosecutor; if it was anyone else, phoenix would not have been able to stall it long enough, i think. they've established that they worked well together in 1-3 and 1-5, but we don't know if it's possible again, because this time there was another new layer added to it that tested that dynamic, being that edgeworth was gone for a year and phoenix's resentment towards him for it. so having that test of separation and meeting again almost as strangers shakes their ability to work together at first, but they eventually still find that the trust they had in each other held strong and were able to re-establish that dynamic from the first game, but with... more. i have more thoughts on that and the whole case itself, but i dont want to talk too long because i have a lot, so i'll save it for another time...
i may have talked about it before, this series has a lot of emphasis on family and it's importance, how other people regard it, and how far they'll go for those they consider family, whether it's good or bad. it was very present in the first game, but the major cases of this game really emphasized that idea also. (morgan trying to project her desires through pearl, mimi using ini as an escape, acro trying to get revenge for his brother, franziska and edgeworth and how she views him as someone she has to chase after <- airport conversation made me cry and cry so much btw, and this one is kind of projecting but phoenix and pearl doing everything they can to save maya). it's really important and i think it's good.
the line between selfishness and self-preservation is a thin one to walk on.
i'm sorry for rambling. thank you for the ask. here's a sketch for you! we will start aa3 soon!
