Description
So, I've gotten into watching Criminal Minds... Mainly because it seems to always be playing on one channel or another whenever I turn on the TV! lol Random non-chronological marathons... Wikipedia helps me make sense of things, yeah. I like the quotes they throw in as a sort of narration at the beginning and end of the episodes, like this one..."Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win." - Stephen King
That one's sorta relevant to my interest in the character of Spencer Reid, prodigal genius, who worries about the possibility that his schizophrenic mother has genetically passed down her illness to him! D: So, this piece is representative of his fear... that he'll someday become like one of the psychotic criminals he profiles and hunts down day to day. I'm caught between thinking something tragic like that would be too sad an outcome for him, and being interested in how it might potentially play out... Hm...
Oh (blabbering on) the title comes from Reid's fear of the dark. When asked why he's still afraid of the dark, he says it's "because of the inherent absence of light".
Anyway, I started using the "mixer" brush tool in Photoshop CS5 and wow, it's lovely! Feels so much more natural, being able to properly blend shades together with it... and it's certainly quicker than how I used to manage digital realism. Yay... Okay, here's everything I've mooched from others on this site, lol. Many thanks to them! ^__^

This is just stunning! Poor Reid... T-T
I actually think that when they finally decide to end the series, it should end with this massive like two or more parter with Reid's schizophrenia becoming out of control and he becomes the most bad-ass unsub the series has ever seen.

I agree so much
The end of the most amazing show ever deserves to be absolutely incredible, and that would be...jeeze. I might die some in the process, but it would be the best episode(s) ever. (Especially if Matthew directed them. x3)
He'd be next to impossible to catch. O_o A crazy epic genius who knows the workings of the FBI inside and out? He'd know exactly how to avoid them.
Mygosh...want. x3 Just not yet.

I KNOW. I think that when it's finally over, it needs to go out with a real BANG. Plus I wanna see Matty Gray Gube acting all psycho, it'd be HOT.

XD For serious! The Gube all crazy-mode would be amazing. We've already got him normal-ish, really mad, really depressed...I wanna see Reid snap. I feel all morbid for saying as much, but...^^' And the show deserves to have an epic ending. If they can have an episode like Lauren in the middle of the season, the series finale...ohgoodness.

OH yes! Part of me would be thrilled to see that happen! But I think a little of me would die along with his innocence, lol. Anyway, thank you! : ]
