Okay so everytime I’m watching a show I google what happens to make sure my fave doesn’t die or fave couple stays together. So I did this for criminal minds and it’s super unclear online whether Reid lives at the end of cm so I was unsure about it for a long time.
Why do you think he’s dead?
*stretches fingers* immy, my dear friend, buckle up
Tumblr media
let’s take ourselves back to that dreaded night in the cemetery shed. after being dozed no less than five times with dilaudid and being thrown onto the floor, reid had an overdose induced seizure and coded. his heart stop. when your heart stops, the rest of your body quickly follows suit because no blood is circulating. ok we all know this so idk why im explaining it.
the important thing to note next is within 3 minutes of your heart stopping, your brain begins to shut down. within 5 minutes, brain cells begin to die and permanent brain damage begins. even if we believe reid was successfully revived by tobias, how long was tobias outside debating with his alters until he came back and started chest compressions? since there’s no timeline indicators during the episode for this moment, we can believe there was at least a few minutes between reid coding and being revived.
so. heres my theory. reid was never revived. he died. HOWEVER he hasn’t accepted it. he can’t accept it. so the next following seasons are reid thinking he’s living his life but actually it's a bunch of spirit guides trying to convince him to pass over.
emily is his main guide and her 'death' is one of the many, many extensive and elaborate ways they try and get reid to come to terms with death and accept his own.
he finally accepts his death in s15. he collapses when he gets home after that explosion and he hallucinates a bunch of dead characters as he's in a coma in hospital. in actual fact, his guides have just rly had it. they've been at this for so long. in real life his mum has also passed away so when reid wakes up in 'hospital' and asks 'is this heaven?' to his mum, that's him finally accepting it.
the party at rossi's at the end is his heaven. at first he's at the mansion and it's just him and gideon. then it's rossi. then hotch. then morgan and emily and jj and slowly everyone joins bc they die in real life. time doesn't move in the same way it does in life. it's all layered so it only feels like he's been at rossi's mansion for like an hour before the whole place is full of his friends and family.
reid is dead, have a nice day <3

Spencer is a vampire. This is my new dumb hc and I love it.
Tumblr media
Vampire!Reid warming his cold undead body with a morning coffee/tea. He doesn’t like people touching him anyway but in case someone does accidentally touch him, they won’t feel how cold he is.
He also has a silver ring with a ring of lapis lazuli threaded through it, which is his daylight ring and allows him to function as close to as a regular person as everyone else.
He rarely, if ever, feeds directly from people (like biting them) and instead has compelled a george town medical lab to provide him with blood bags each week. A total of 14, which is enough for two feeds a day which is enough to get by. He craves more, ofc, but he’s been around long enough to control it.
And then on a case, they’re trapped in a random cabin when they get snowed in by a blizzard on their way to the airport.
The whole team is trapped and they have to wait the storm out.
After a few hours pass since Reid should have had his next feed, the team notice him declining. He’s more than hangry, he’s almost murderous. He needs to feed and he can’t and he’s stuck in a house with 5 humans every primal instinct is screaming at him to rip apart.
He keeps himself away from them, hoping the distance will somehow fix his urges. That’s when Emily comes to him she outrightly asks “how long have we got before your hunger wins and you attack us?”
And he looks ashamed and hurt and embarrassed all at once. He’s hugging himself and he tells her, “I’m not going to hurt you, any of you, ever.”
But Emily knows he can’t control it once the primal instincts take over. She offers herself to him.
“No,” he breathes, desperate and pleading. A mixture of yes he wants this and no he doesn’t want them to see that side of him.
They know he’s a vampire, its their best kept secret from the world.
(Ok my hand is hurting like an absolute bitch so imma leave it there lol)
Hope youre ok gorgeous <3 sending you love from across the strait <3
OKAY LOREN LOOK I TOLD YOU I WOULD POST THIS!
BUT this just reminds me of stuff that @ssa-sarahsunshine has been posting about vampire! Reid, so I'm tagging her cause this would be right up her alley I think!
But yesss, Spencer wants to feed but there is absolutely no way he is feeding from the only people who love him and the people who want to protect him most in the world.
Yet at the same time, the team know he's losing control and they're trying to think of all these solutions while he slowly loses his grip on this terrifying reality.
He also never wants to do it because he never wants to have to remember him doing it, it would just totally lead him to hating himself even more than he already does, and defs pulling away from the team even though they beg him not to.
Oof I have more thoughts but the drugs in this drip are really kicking my butt. It's also 2 am so...
