I compared Gideon with Elle over their use of the term 'safe place' or somewhere where they felt safe (since one of Elle's trauma was shown on screen)...
to Normal People, a head at the cabin might not be THAT terrifying, but well, it's different for PTSD cases, survivors of violence, usually violence upon their person...it's not the head at the cabin, it's what memories were triggered by it.
Like...you know how many fandoms make a practice of using "trigger warning", because some words or discussion of stuff might trigger somebody's memory of being assaulted? It's like that with Gideon's head at the cabin, except instead of words, it was a head at the cabin.
...though to me, what's most shocking to Gideon wasn't that it was a severed head, it was because he could be 'gotten to' even in his cabin. The note minus the head would have been enough. There was no wild place Gideon could run off to where the unsubs can't find him (so yeah, his road trip doesn't have a good pronosis)
Could you please use // or italtics when quoting? ...and spacing?
Reid didn't go into the train with the idea it was better him harmed than anyone else. He went in because he was the best person for that particular job, despite the seeming lack of experience (although he had to learn sometime)
Exactly, I hope I don't sound mean when I ask you to please read over what I've said again, but I've cited Derail as PRE-Tobias Hankel sample contrast to how Reid was after that.
