Philosopher and #4 for the character ask game, please! 🫶
4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?
Okay, just a heads up, because I have some wildly specific ideas for the most random reasons:
BONES: I’ve only watched the first two seasons, but hear me out: she and Brennan. ICONIQUEEE Two intellectual powerhouses going head-to-head, but from completely opposite angles. Brennan’s hyper-rational, scientific worldview versus Philosopher’s more nuanced, abstract, philosophical perspective. Brennan would scoff at anything even remotely psychological, and Philosopher would probably say something snarky about science being limited by the rigidity of data, not getting the full picture etc. (enemy to lovers when?)
STAR WARS (The Clone Wars): Because she’s literally Satine in real life, it makes perfect sense for her to hang out with Obi-Wan: exchanging philosophical banter, clashing with every ideal he holds dear, and hopefully [REDACTED] him while she waits for Aaron to finally make up his damn mind. They’d have an absolute blast debating Jedi ethics, galactic politics, and whether the Jedi Code is a sham. Obi-Wan would be totally smitten while she would have fun but ultimately thinking, “Yeah, this is nice and all, but you’re no Hotchner.” Unfortunately for her, Obi-Wan has an annoyingly good sense of humor and is so dry and sarcastic that she wouldn’t get as much fun out of challenging him. Still, smash - because he has a beard. And sometimes that’s all the justification you need.
SUITS: Purely because it’s a lawyer-filled world, and I want to see Philosopher go into lawyer-overload mode. She’s always going on about how much she hates lawyers (do we believe her? That’s up for debate) so it would be so fun to see her eyeroll at everything that comes from Harvey's mouth (and I want her in that stupid mock-trial with Luis for Mikado's custody). Of course as you know this is totally biased by our SUITS brainrots (damn I really need to write them downnnn). Bonus: she and Donna would 100% be besties. Donna would take one look at her, understand her evil nature, and the two of them would start running the office within a week.
TRUE CRIME DOCUMENTARY: It would also be ridiculously fun - not just for her, but for the entire BAU - to appear on one of those real crime documentaries where experts break down and comment on cases they’ve solved. Good. Now, imagine her having to share her interview segment with Aaron. BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE It starts off professional enough, but then the cracks start to show. They’d accidentally veer off into bickering mid-interview because one of them just has to comment on how the other misremembered a minor detail. She’d roll her eyes at his “Unit Chief voice,” and Aaron would glance sideways at her like he’s fighting the urge to smile, or murder her, or [REDACTED] her. Probably all of the above. But then ofc it gets worse. The yearning kicks in. The camera catches those lingering glances, the way Aaron’s voice softens ever so slightly when he talks about how “her insight was instrumental to solving the case.” (PRETTYYYYYY) And the way she pretends not to blush but totally does? A national audience would eat it up. Meanwhile, the rest of the team is watching the documentary at home, screaming and commenting on their secret groupchat how they're basically flirting on national television. AAAAAA lovebirds.
