i don’t know if it’s just because dale cooper has just been on my mind a lot lately, but him and spencer reid lowkey are becoming more and more similar in my mind😭 especially because i’m in the middle of a spencer x elle fic and the whole ‘white-knight’ thing is going on. does anyone at all catch my drift. is this like way too obscure of a pairing

YES!!! Spencer and Dale!!!! I've always had this little headcanon in mind where I genuinely think Reid would have watched Twin Peaks and took a liking to Dale Cooper due to somewhat seeing himself in him. Imagine how he would have felt discovering another awkward FBI agent, just like him. MGG has also mentioned in the past something like on Spencer's first day at the FBI he transcribed by hand Dale's dictaphone tapes. He posted it on his tumblr, i believe (when he used to post).
