CRIMINAL MINDS : EVOLUTION SPOILERS

CRIMINAL MINDS : EVOLUTION SPOILERS

if you know anything about me... you know that i went INSANE for this first episode. hell, the first hurdle of the series is them trying to handle an emotionally explosive and greiving rossi! it. . God😭😭😭 i know i said i wanted rossi to go through awful things but not like This😭. hes so sad it hurts. i have so many things i need to touch on

1) i. Can't believe they killed krystall off.???...

in a writing sense, you'd assume that maybe it makes sense! maybe getting rid of krystall is the only thing that would send rossi into deep enough of a spiral to go back to work...

But that's not how rossi has EVER been.

i know i'm insane, but i've psychoanalyzed this guy. even when he's been in happy marriages (like with carolynn), he's still utterly obsessed with the job. it's the one constant thing in his life. i would assume the adrenaline from it would be like a drug, the intense highs and lows being addicting. not to mention the ego boost and the flood of happiness that comes with each case solved successfully!

i just... Don't know. i love rossi in pain and messier than we've ever seen him, believe me, i've written my fair share of drabbles that are exactly that. but seeing it in canon is so different.. /pos?

> he's in a HOTEL because he can't stand how quiet the house is, especially after he lived in a quiet house for decades before krystall came back into his life. he has a whole corkboard conspiracy theory wall (and i'm so offended that we didnt have another "face off" moment where ben savage steps in as gideon's shithead spirit ghost thing that rossi sees for some reason during tricky cases)

> in "profiling 202", he admit that cooking is the one thing that relaxes him- he even compares it to meditating!!!...... and look what we see him making. Microwavable Macaroni And Cheese. my god. everybody jokes about how picky rossi probably is with his food, how he only eats authentic italian and despises penelope's tofu pancetta monstrosity... this? . like emily said about rossi in "damaged", when his office was a mess. "this is a SCREAM for help".

> i know theyre all cursing now bc theyre on a streaming service and they CAN, but. Please im just imagining rossi has stopped giving a single shit. we always make "please someone let rossi retire" jokes, but. he's ALLOWED to retire! he's BEEN allowed for a very long time😭😭😭! he just won't. even penelope talks about it! in the scene directly after she stands her ground against rossi (i am so happy abt that btw i. could talk for so long about how happy i am for penelope and her growth as a character???) :

".. You okay?"

"Yes. I'm fine."

"I know we all said we would respect your decision- "

"No, it's not that. How long has Dave been like this?"

"It's hard to say. I mean, we haven't been together much."

"Which means he's doing it alone, which means he's convinced himself he doesn't need anybody, and he's rejected the hive mind."

"Yeah, until he's reminded that it works."

"Yeah."

^^^ penelope's first instinct is to figure out what's wrong with rossi- and then?? she immediately knows EXACTLY what rossi's mental state is, right in that moment. she knows he's completely reverted back to that unhealthy season 3 "i don't need anybody and i'm more experienced than all of you so i have the higher ground" mindset. and . God that's so important to me actually.

and 2.???) ... i can't believe they mentioned gideon .

"Dave."

"Mh?"

"How you doing?"

"... Great."

"Gonna see the family for the holidays? Joy, Portia, grandkids?"

"... Maybe."

"I think you should. ... A long time ago, Gideon told me to make sure I didn't go quiet, because it meant I stopped trusting my team." (1)

"He told you that?"

"He said in the early days, it was easy to fall into two modes... silence and rage. And you guys had to find a way to fill in the middle, and you found that when you talked things through, it made it easier to remember you weren't alone."

"Well, that was my advice to him." (2)

"Well, then, I'm here to remind you of your advice. This isn't your burden alone to carry."

"... That's so like you... You don't even mention how Alvez stayed at HQ for me, yet I still managed to lose my shit this morning. Or how Tara and JJ have answered every call, every consultation without fail, and how you have been covering for me."

"Why do I need to keep score when you've been doing such a good job?... Dave... When you lose someone the way you have, I know it might seem easier to ride the waves of grief alone, but you've got to let us help, because this... this isn't working." (3)

"... You're a better person than I am, Emily. And I'm okay with that."

hi! not okay with ^^^ ANY of that actually 🤨??? (i cried)

1 > gideon said. ROSSI'S ADVICE. GIVEN TO HIM YEARS AND YEARS AGO. TO *EMILY*??!&?_??????!!!!. does this mean gideon REGULARLY MENTIONED THE BSU DAYS? was this a special occasion??? what was she getting advice FOR???

2 > ?!_$??!!. SO. youre telling ME. ROSSI WAS THE ONE EMOTIONALLY SUPPORTING GIDEON SOMETIMES. we've seen gideon get deep into cases, like in "nelson's sparrow", where rossi barely has to say 3 sentences before gideon has calmed down. Please i can't stop imagining "alright, sit down" "what?" "we're talking about this" "dave-" "don't dave me, and sit down".

3 > ... she compliments rossi, tells him hes been doing a good job after he just pummels himself into the ground. he feels GUILTY. god, he feels so insanely guilty for snapping at the team when they've been doing so much for him. he's guilty about being this hostile and tired. it's real grief, and real grief isn't usually pretty!... and she just compliments him. and the way he reacts immediately makes her give him thee softest "dave..." in the world. and. God i cant handle that. hes gonna cry

okay😭😭😭! i am done ranting in this post. i'll definitely make more. i dont think anybodys gonna read all of this bc its just me going insane abt characterization but oh well!
