The Protege

My ongoing Criminal Minds fic where in Spencer, seeking a happy ending, left the BAU. Meanwhile, a young neurodivergent woman, Grace is hired to fill his spot on the team. After receiving some news intended for Dr Reid, Grace takes the opportunity to meet her predecessor and ask for his advice. Together they form a kinship as they realise they are moving on from past trauma with very different approaches. Both try to encourage each other in navigating their different stages of life. (Basically a new season of criminal minds with a main character with ADHD with Spencer as her mentor, plus a happy ending and seperate love interest for Spencer)

About me:

Hi am Proe, welcome to my Criminal Minds and fanfic blog. I'm in my mid twenties and Australian. I'm pretty friendly, very happy to chat in DMs and receive anon asks. My favourite colour is teal, I love dogs, seal, owls and some of my interests are true crime, writing and history. I write so that my works are suitable for a broad audience as I know some fans are still young, and wish to be included. I aim for you guys to have an enjoyable experience on my blog and also be a safe place.

My main, where all my randomness goes is @tytoowl so if you see that user lurking around, that's me.

Tags, safety and TWs:

I encourage readers with any concerns to read TWs at the start of the chapter notes. Any graphic violence, gore and sexual references will be heavily tagged. If I have missed tags or you think I should tag something, please let me know via DM. If I do end up writing any explicitly sexual scenes in my works on Tumblr they will be separated, standalone and tagged MDNI 18+ and I will use the tumblr mature content tag. If any of my fic recs are explict, these will be also tagged accordingly.

I encourage people under 18 to filter their tags and correctly report their age in their settings, it is mostly to protect yourself, trust me. I have my own negative experiences from when I was your age and I am very happy to share instructions on how to filter your tags, or my experience of how reading stuff I shouldn't of affected me. Just ask.

"Would you still love me if I was a Worm?"

— basic, too easy to answer correctly. Worms are very low maintenance. Answering yes doesn't not equal true love.

"Would you still love me if I was a Wyrm?"

— thought provoking, a true and accurate way to assess investment of a partner. Asking would you still love me if I was potentially carnivorous, poisonous and a damn pain to look after?—is a more challenging hypothetical.

MS Word is Using You to Train AI

How to turn off AI-scraping from your Word documents

Microsoft Office, like many companies in recent months, has slyly turned on an “opt-out” feature that scrapes your Word and Excel documents to train its internal AI systems. This setting is turned on by default, and you have to manually uncheck a box in order to opt out.

If you are a writer who uses MS Word to write any proprietary content (blog posts, novels, or any work you intend to protect with copyright and/or sell), you’re going to want to turn this feature off immediately.How to Turn off Word’s AI Access To Your Content

I won’t beat around the bush. Microsoft Office doesn’t make it easy to opt out of this new AI privacy agreement, as the feature is hidden through a series of popup menus in your settings:On a Windows computer, follow these steps to turn off “Connected Experiences”:

File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy Settings > Optional Connected Experiences > Uncheck box: “Turn on optional connected experiences”

Spencer Reid:

[youbutstupid]

Let’s talk about David Rossi and Spencer Reid because to me, Rossi is the real father figure and his love for Reid is so gorgeous to watch.

When Rossi first joined the BAU again after retirement, it is clear that he didn’t know what to make of Reid because he was so different to anyone he encountered during his own time in the FBI. But he came to love him so beautifully and genuinely care for him, so here are a few moments that stick out for me.

First we have Rossi openly admitting that he loves Reid and Garcia when he says ‘listen, you know I love you both.’ after running into them at the Sci-Fi convention. You also have him being the one to take Reid to his favourite bar and comfort him after Maeve’s death. He kisses the side of Reid’s head on his birthday and pinches Reid’s cheeks adoringly stating ‘who wouldn’t miss that bella faccia?’ And then we have when Reid answers the phone in season 12 and Rossi instantly lights up with ‘there’s my favourite genius!’ All these clear and open signs of affection that he was willing to open up and give to Reid.

When the local law enforcement at Reid’s arrest asks why Rossi won’t consider the idea that Reid is guilty with all of the evidence stacked against him, Rossi responds with ‘you wouldn’t either if you knew Spencer Reid.’ It is him who takes it upon himself to reinstate Reid into the FBI, it is him who comforts Reid after Gideon’s death, it is him who is there for Reid after his mum gets diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and it is him who stays with Reid in Vegas and trusts all of his gut instincts about his father, even going as far as to go to therapy with Reid to make sure he is safe.

Another small detail that is important to me, is that he, along with JJ, was one of the only members of the team who consistently called Reid either Spencer or Spence before season 12 (when everyone else started doing it).

Considering Rossi hated the idea of working so closely with a team at all, the fact that he did all of the above for one of his team members, a team member who he didn’t originally click with, just goes to show how much he truly loves and cares for Reid.
