multi-fandom wlw (but mostly Criminal Minds / Jemily these days tbh).

The most interesting question you can ask about any character is not what do they want. it's what do they believe they deserve. because those two things are almost never the same and the gap between them is where your entire story lives. a person can want love completely and believe they don't deserve it and that belief will destroy every good thing that comes toward them in ways they won't even notice they're doing. write the gap. the gap is the character.

A writer will live through something devastating and their first thought is unfortunately oh this is good material

the feminine urge to abandon the novel and start a newer, hotter, less emotionally demanding novel

my dream as a fanfic writer is for one day, one of my fics to be someones comfort fic. like the fic that they reread when they don't feel good and want to be happy. i want my words to comfort someone one day

Aisha Tyler getting to direct this episode and immediately opening with her character having a sex scene with her girlfriend will always be iconic to me

Morgan : What do you call a dictionary on drugs ?

Hotch : If you say "addict-ionary" I will fire you.

Morgan : I was going to say "high definition" but yours better-

Emily, coming from nowhere : A Spencer Reid.

Hotch : EMILY PRENTISS-

Choosing to believe Jennifer "everything is fine" Jareau actually did notice something was up with Luke in 19x02 but said no when Tyler asked because she knows whatever it is, Luke isn't ready to tell them yet.

And Tara knew too, she was just waiting for someone else to bring it up. That's why she jumps at the chance to ask Penelope about it.

Because TYLER picking up on Luke being off before Tara and JJ did?? Unrealistic. Not on my screen thanks.

I love characters who would die for each other but will not, under any circumstances, communicate a single honest feeling.

rereading your own fics/wips is a very slippery slope into finding out you actually have to finish your fics if you want them finished

I just saw an anon come into a gif-maker’s ask box and start with the phrase: “I’m trying not to spam your inbox with reblogs, but” and then go on to say how much they love the gifs.

But I’m still stuck on that opening phrase because…what? I am so confused by how people view interactions on tumblr & AO3 these days. Let me make it very clear for anyone who is unsure:

CREATORS WANT YOU TO INTERACT WITH THEIR WORK.

The limit does not exist on how many of their works you can interact with in a certain period.

If you like every fic they’ve ever written? Then feel free to give them all kudos and even leave a comment on every single one if you feel inclined! If you’re going through someone’s blog and you vibe with every post, like/reblog to your heart’s content!

As long as you’re not expecting something back from them or adding a ton of irrelevant comments, it’s not spam! It’s what this is all about!! I’m not even much of a creator and I still feel a huge sense of pride when I see a ton of notifications in a row from a person, as it clearly shows they thought my blog was worth spending time on.

And if for some reason a creator is annoyed by this (unlikely), they can manage their own experience (turn off notifs, not look at their notes, delete the fic, etc) so don’t deprive the majority of creators because of some imagined annoyed person. Fandom is a collaborative effort and we all must participate!
