you said "some people"

Hey! Welcome! I'm a mess. Just to let you know that up front.

This is my main blog, and while I will totally just shitpost random stuff day and night, primarily I post & reblog Criminal Minds.

I write...a lot. I have 2 million words (and counting) on AO3 and most of them are about Hotch if we're being brutally honest. Over 200 stories about Hotch/Morgan.

Requests are OPEN again! Feel free to hop into my askbox to talk to me about them, or send in prompts. I'll talk about Hotch, or hotchgan, all day every day. It might take me a while to write something but I'm here and ready to try!

headcanons i use as canon in most of my fics

Criminal Minds: Hotch & Morgan || Aaron Hotchner || Derek Morgan

You can find all of my screencaps by searching for #screencaps ... very clever I know. I put episode numbers on them so most of the time you can search a particular episode number too. If tumblr is feeling kind, anyway.

Here are some of my favorite photo posts:

I’m curious, do you head-canon Morgan & Hotch as bisexual? Or what are your thoughts on their sexualities if you’re comfortable answering? 😁

Woah, okay, I don't know how I missed this message? I'm so sorry!

I am doing well. I have a lot going on IRL with kids & sports, but I am very very happy so it's all good. I miss writing and fandom though.

I do hc them as bisexual. I don't want to erase the women they've loved, I think making them gay and diminishing those relationships to something less than real love & sex is something I would prefer not to do. I can see why other people might, and I fully support whatever anyone chooses to do in these situations because fandom is first and foremost for your enjoyment and it isn't that serious, but for me I really like to take my fics & my hcs and tack them on to canon, which would make them bi. I like finding ways to fit their little shenanigans into canon, tying my fics to episodes, making them fit with the canon relationships. It's a fun little exercise for my brain and I think I do a pretty decent job of it. Does that answer your question or did I just ramble aimlessly? It's after midnight and my brain isn't functioning fully.

Nooo please don't be sorry! I'm so happy! Thank you so much. I have been in such a writer's funk (maybe not a block, per se but it's close) and your message came at the perfect time. I wrote almost 5k words today. They aren't great but it's more than I've written in months!

how many of you would join a discord server that was solely for the purpose of sprinting & talking about fics? i don't want a big server filled with tons of topics, nothing personal and nothing political, i just want to talk fic and write fic in a community. specifically criminal minds but there is room for non-crimmy if the interest is there among friends.

but i did delete the chicago times series and redo it because i needed to remove a co-creator and ao3 doesn't let you just do that even if the story they worked on with you is gone and the series belongs to you. sooo...all that said...i'm sorry to the 50+ of you who had that series bookmarked. i had to torch it, and along with that went all the amazingly sweet bookmark comments and everything. but the series is back on ao3 now and if you want to bookmark it again, thank you. lesson learned!

Just becuase a show has representation doesn't mean it is any fucking good.
