001.  IMPORTANT:  aaron  is  a  remarkably  perceptive  person  trained  to  analyse  behaviour.  he  can  identify  and  interpret  even  the  most  minute  detail  about  someone.  please  see  the  following  youtube  video  to  understand  what  i'm  talking  about:   (x)  ...so  please  keep  that  in  mind.  due  to  the  nature  of  his  expertise  i'll  likely  feel  it  necessary  to  reach  out  ooc  to  discuss  your  muse,  as  i  do  not  wish  to  godmod  /  metagame  &  while  i  try  my  best,  i'm  not  actually  a  profiler.

002.  want  to  write  with  hotch?  send  in  a  meme  (they're  always  open),  or  throw  us  up  a  starter.  those  are  the  quickest  ways,  but  -

003.  my  ims  are  always  open  for  plotting  &  discord  available  for  mutuals.

004.  if  you  ship  it  -  i  probably  do  too.  please  tell  me!

005.  hotch  is  bisexual  and  i  write  and  ship  all  types  of  dynamics.  shipping  isn't  the  main  priority  but  it's  something  i  really  enjoy.  as  is  exploring  all  types  of  relationships  -  friends,  colleagues,  rivals,  enemies,  ex-lovers,  and  so  on.  give  me  it  all.

006.  if  you've  never  watched  a  single  episode  of  criminal  minds  &  don't  know  much  about  it  -  that's  fine.  no  knowledge  of  his  source  material  is  necessary.  in  short:  he's  an  expert  criminal  profiler  tasked  to  hunt  down  killers  by  analysing  their  behavior,  the  crime  scene,  and  victimology.

007.  duplicates  -  anyone  who  loves  hotch  as  much  as  i  do  should  come  say  hi  regardless  of  whether  you  write  him  or  not!  i'll  also  be  adding  some  of  the  other  criminal  minds  characters  over  on  my  multi.

HE KNEW TO take even the briefest loss of consciousness with total seriousness. “Hotch? Hotch!” Spencer exclaimed, calling into the portable radio for the medical team. Panic lurched through his veins, but the boy genius kept his head long enough to do basic first aid. His skilled fingers brushed up against his chief’s airway and pulse point to assure he continued breathing…

Luckily, his comrade-in arms didn’t have any lasting injuries. While his friends insisted they have shifts to watch over Hotch’s bedside, Spencer claimed the MOST. During his vigil, the guilt gnawed at his stomach as he sat cross-legged on the hospital sofa with a book on his lap.

maybe they were being tortured! maybe they got lost on a hike. maybe they just had no means of contacting anyone but were perfectly fine. feel free to specify 🖤
