Hey bros, baes, and nonbinary gays! If you don't have a mom (for whatever reason) I am your mom now. I was given the Mommy title in my group chat for a reason. I am mom. I will protect you. Do you need a hug? I will give you all the hugs. Do you want to show me something you made that you're proud of? I'll put it on the fridge. Do you need someone to talk to? Talk to me about everything. I am mom now.

So your bio says you're a modern languages graduate which is so cool because I'm one of those people that has never been able to properly grasp them, so I was wondering, what's your favourite language to learn, and your favourite thing to say??

I moved to France age 6 so am bilingual, but Spanish, that I discovered age 11 is my one true love! Even my terrible teacher couldn’t put me off, and I became obsessed with Latin American and Hispanic culture, cuisine and customs. Once you know the sound each letter makes, it’s a breeze, as spelling is completely phonetic! Don’t think I have a favourite thing to say, but I love reading and watching films/TV series in Spanish, to try and maintain it!

Just wondering how everyone got into the shows they watch, and if there are some funny or random stories.

Most of the shows I watched were from TV advertising, watching a random ep or recommendations ( Castle, Gilmore Girls, Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy...) but I got into Criminal Minds via fanfic, more specifically @themetaphorgirl ‘s boarding school AU fic called Patron Saint of Lost Causes. I had heard the name of the show, and generally like crime/detective/mystery shows, but was intrigued by the teen characters in the fic and how they were as adults. I liked the adult characters even more than I thought possible than as teens, and inhaled 11 of the 15 seasons in under a year!

This is the fic I was looking for! It is really awesome!

Small Town Moose: Part 19

AN: I can not believe that this is the last part, but I just love the ending so much. I’m really close to tears right now. Please enjoy! 

Master List

image

It’s five am, and you’re a little under twelve hours away from getting married. Moose is spread out on the cool tile, Aaron is still fast asleep in your bed, snoring softly, and both children are miraculously still asleep: Jack because he’s so excited and Olivia because she apparently has a vendetta against sleep. You stare at the box with a mix of apprehension and excitement. 

You debate going through with this now, or waiting until you get home tonight. You’re just about to toss the box back under the seat when a hand settles against your hip. You turn to find a still half asleep Aaron wrapping himself around you. You smile and reach back to run your fingers through his hair, “Good morning.” 

His eyes are still closed, and his voice is still filled with sleep, “Morning.” 

He presses a kiss against your neck, and your eyes flutter closed, “IF you leave a mark on me this morning, I will kill you.”

Criminal Minds fanfic au author

Hey, just read a whole 19 chapters of a Criminal Minds AU where Aaron Hotchner starts dating his neighbour, who works as a freelance photographer/graphic designer whose room-mate, Gwen Murphy, is the newest recruit to the BAU. Un-named neighbour/self-inserted reader and Aaron have a little girl together, called Olivia Emily. I’d love to find the author on here so I can read some of their other work ( one shots for the show, plus various other TV shows they are interested in too). Thanks a lot!

Seriously feeling the desire to write some missing scenes between Hotch and Garcia!  Some ideas I have:

- Post Season 3 finale, the doctor tells Hotch he cannot fly due to his busted eardrum for a few weeks, so he ends up helping Garcia, staying in her office. They bring eachother breakfast in the morning, talk about the divorce/Jack/theatre/art/books and it totally makes up for the horrible time she had with Gideon in Season 1 ( the flowers and note that Hotch sends on Gideon’s behalf need to be acknowledged!)

-Post Season 9, Hotch comforting Penelope after shooting the unsub then teaching her to shoot. 

- Season 7 finale, their chat while they are dancing at the wedding, because he’s really managed to make her laugh and he is smiling, I think!

- Season 9, the Halloween episode, Hotch stays to help her clean up after her Day of the Dead party, she gives him his birthday card and present

- Post-performance after Garcia’s play in Reflections of Desire. Hotch gives her flowers in her dressing room, she invites him and the gang to come out for drinks with the rest of the cast! 

- Season 12 to 15 e-mails that are written but not sent between Garcia and Hotch ( they both chose the same codenames for eachother!) about their lives etc as they never got to say goodbye properly!

-Post Season 15, Hotch and Jack come back to Quantico, bump into Penelope, friendship is rekindled, they get super close, swapping horror stories about dates, spending lots of time together, and eventually get together romantically!  What would you like to see?  Other ideas gratefully received too!

I Can Imagine Penelope Writing This For Hotch After The “you’re A Narcissist” And All The Other

I can imagine Penelope writing this for Hotch after the “you’re a narcissist” and all the other criticisms Hotch heard during the Tobias Henkel arc.

The text reads as follows:

To my brilliant and beloved Bossman, I think you are the best!

However, if you feel the need to attain complete perfection, you should start by taking better care of yourself! Also, you seem to have confused work less and smile more, as you tend to do the opposite-oops! I realise this is hard for you, but I believe you can fix it 🙂!  I will love you and leave you with two quotes:

“Nolite te bastardes carborundorum” *

and “ No-one can make you feel inferior without your consent” ( E. Roosevelt).

Your devoted technical analyst, Penelope ❤️   * in case your Latin has failed you: Don’t let the b-words ground you down!

Her character is one of the reasons I got so into Criminal Minds! In a lesser show, she’d have been the dumb, blonde secretary and her role would be played by a stereotypical nerdy guy! As a short, curvy blonde who is very empathetic, I was so happy to see her on screen!

I am in love with Penelope Garcia. Obviously.

As a plus size woman, i love having plus size representation in the media. It’s really hard to find.

Most of the time, if there’s a plus size character at all, their only character trait is that they’re big. They’re always pictured eating and talking about how much they love eating.

I love Penelope Garcia because I want representation.

Because Hollywood is unfair to people who wear anything bigger than a size 2.

Because Penelope has a successful career.

Because Penelope built healthy relationships, platonic and romantic.

Because Penelope wasn’t held back by being big.

Because Penelope isn’t just fat.

She’s a person.

Because Penelope is beautiful and funny and sweet and has amazing characterization!!

Bless the Criminal Minds writers and casting agents, and bless Kirsten Vangsness for the amazing character that she embodied and gave to people like me to look up to.

Introverted, asthmatic and uncoordinated! Guess who was always picked last for team sports. Especially baseball, which is basically my worst nightmare! Also had my fair share of sexist/rubbish teachers for that subject! It took having an asthma attack for my teacher to realise that I couldn’t actually run any faster without dying!

Rice and pasta/flannel shirt/ art/ocean/posters/Capricorn

are you a rice or pasta person? a graphic tee or flannel person? art or writing person? ocean or meadow person? posters on your wall or tapestries person? tag your sign too !

4 years ago

1) Season 4! Close contenders are Seasons 1,2 and 3.

2) The living dolls one was good ( the woman who had electric shock therapy) and I love Reflections of Desire, Boxed In ( Season 10 Halloween ep)... Riley Jenkins arc was pretty gripping, The Black Queen was great too... I really like the eps with a focus on a character and their past/family.

3) Tara Lewis or Alex Blake. Both highly intelligent, brilliant women that I admired a lot.

4) Ashley Seaver or Jordan Todd, mostly because they were badly written or underwritten!

5) That would be the Strauss/Cruz  role, right? If so, none of them! 

6) Kate Callahan. I thought she was lovely, got on with everyone on the team, did a great job balancing work and home life and was great at her job!

7) least favourite season would be 9!  8) 1 was great, loved 4, 5 and 6 too! 2 and 3 were also highly enjoyable.

9) Elle’s ending made sense to me. I started getting attached to her character at the end of Season 1 when she got shot. Loved her final scene with Hotch. 

10) Hotch was an awesome mentor to Reid. In Season 1 when they were hostages, after Tobias Henkel, he looked out for his emotional well-being. Definitely not Gideon, who left him a letter before disappearing!

11) Hotch, Garcia, Reid and Morgan all had quite a lot of episodes focused on them, their families and their backstories. Some of the info for Hotch is implied ( mom was probably a victim of physical and/or emotional abuse from his father, abuse from his father through how he deals with unsubs/unsubs’ and victims’ families! Possibly why they are my favourite characters.

12) Garcia and Morgan were brilliant with their flirty banter, but I have such a soft spot for Hotch and Garcia. She can make him smile, he encourages her, they have similar interests ( spicy food, cooking and theatre) and are just polar opposites in a lot of ways, but at their core, they both care deeply for and are fiercely loyal to their loved ones. 

13) Mr Scratch just scared the crap out of me, so I’ll say that!

14) Hotch. I hate how he left, he was such an important character/part of the team. Morgan was a close second, but at least he got proper goodbyes!

15) Never watched past Season 11, but it could have finished in Season 12. The Mr Scratch ep could have been resolved by almost the end of the season, then perhaps everyone on the team could have decided to quit, and they’d have trained up their replacements. Hotch would go back to being a prosecutor or teach law, Rossi would write another novel, Garcia would do freelance tech support for schools and businesses, possibly giving internet safety talks and organising coding clubs at school, Reid could teach at university/ start another PhD. Only one I am not sure about is JJ, maybe she’d stay at home for a bit and have another baby ( she could find out she was expecting again in late Season 12) . Reid, Hotch and Garcia would all have met someone new and be happily settled down with them, and Rossi would be back together with Hayden , and they’d be excited about Joy’s second baby arriving!

12. a story line most people love but you don’t?

13. if you could keep one character to not leave the show, who would it be?

Naughty Elephants Squirt Water!

i think my saddest moment as an Australian was finding out that the rest of the world doesn’t say “never eat soggy weetbix” to figure out the order of the compass

4 years ago

✨I started two jobs, one nannying, just before lockdown started and one in a crèche, during lockdown!

🌸 going back to work after nearly 2 years of unemployment!

☁️ More travelling!

🥂seeing my parents for Christmas 2020!

😐 hunting for food or household essentials that were out of stock!

🌄 N/A

🎬 Onward was the most memorable, in early 2020. Oh, and Little Women. I saw them both twice! There was a period of a few weeks when the cinemas re-opened and I went to see everything I possibly could during that period, even if they were all rubbish!

📈Lots of arts and crafts with the children I nanny, writing more letters, writing fanfiction...

📖 Circe by Madeline Miller. Interesting to hear a mythological tale from a strong female perspective,  beautiful writing and just a great read!

🎼 Not really!

📆 April, with the birth of my nephew, or June/July, when I found out my brother had got engaged! August was good too, as it was my month off work and I had a month at my parents’, watching TV, eating home-cooked meals, swimming and walking.

☀️ My nephew being born in April, brother’s engagement in June/July!

❤️ favourite meal out of 2020: going out to celebrate my brother’s engagement with my parents, brother and future sister-in-law in August!

📝 that magpies steal eggs from other birds’ nests! 

💥that I miss seeing people sometimes, even though I am really good at and enjoy being on my own. Also that I need to go to the cinema a lot!

🌈 my brother’s wedding, if it goes ahead, and a proper family Christmas!

🔥 N/A

⏱ I guess, as what is considered late for some people/cultures is on time for others!

2020 asks 😄

✨ whats the most "unprecedented" thing that happened to you this year? lol

🌸 whats something youre proud of for accomplishing?

☁️ whats something you wish you couldve accomplished?

🥂 most exciting thing you did?

😐 most underwhelming thing you did?

📸 post a picture from your camera roll.

🎬 did you watch any new movies this year? what movie(s) would you have preferred seeing in a theater?

📈 any new hobbies that you took up? or old ones that you went back to?

📖 did you read anything particularly interesting this year? why was it interesting?

🎶 did you discover new songs or artists this year? write a two-sentence review for your favorite one(s).

📅 favorite month of 2020?

☀️ favorite event of 2020?

❤️ favorite _____ of 2020?

📝 whats something you learned this year?

💥 whats something you learned about *yourself* this year?

🌈 what are you most looking forward to in 2021?

🔥 ask me for my opinion on something.

🕐 bonus: do you think time is a social construct?

1) Nothing, in a bit of a slump!

2) The Friends We Keep by Jane Green.

3) Some of the newer fantasy books ( Leigh Bardugo, VE Schwab...)

4) I have a book by Hank Green ( brother of John) that looks right up my street

5) I don’t think so.

6) Anne of Green Gables series,  Little Women and sequels are both regular re-reads. Babysitters Club and Nancy Drew, plus the Sweet Valley Twins series. I have by no means read all of them, so would happily do so if I were given them/found them available cheaply.

7) I love the Percy Jackson/Trials of Apollo/Roman god companion series, they appeal to my deep deep love of mythology. I think the Cormoran Strike detective novels are great too, hope there’s another one soon!

8) Fantasy! But I have not read much sci-fi...

9) Nothing for the moment ( damn my slump!).

10) Oh yes, especially when a version comes out just before the film and it has the lead actor on it! It hinders my ability to picture the character properly! I have definitely been turned on/off by a pretty or ugly cover too-I’m evidently a very visual person!

11) Yes, a JK Rowling one, her first or second adult/non Harry Potter book. Not her Cormoran Strike ones, written under a pseudonym.

12) Yes! John Barrowman, Michael Caine, Lauren Graham... Biography: Marilyn Monroe, if that counts.

13) Don’t mind, but prefer biographies as they are more objective.

14) Fiction!

15) Chick-lit, YA, crime... Impossible to choose!

16) biographies, travel journals ( love Bill Bryson), origins of words/expressions/language evolution and usage...

17) not usually a big fan, it has to be social history ( women’s rights, fashion, food) rather than political and have engaging characters to follow. Tracy Chevalier does this well, I liked Jessie Burton’s The Miniaturist too, and possibly a Philippa Gregory too.

18) Read the book first, unless I am unaware that a book version exists ( First Wives Club). This means I have the right to complain when characters or settings on screen do not match the picture I had in my head, and I get annoyed at all the side plots/minor characters that were glossed over/written out...

19) Paperback

20) Yes, most of my collection is on my e-reader!

21) one very small one, due to having a Kindle!

22) By order of purchase on my reader!

23) Buying on my e-reader, as they are often cheaper than the paper versions, and take up far less space! Otherwise I try to get them second hand/previously owned.

24) Fairly happy to, although I have lost some for good, unfortunately!  25) I try to look after them as best as I can, but I often eat or drink while reading, so they sometimes get a bit dirty, oops!

26) To Kill A Mockingbird has a special place in my heart. It was assigned summer reading but we ended up studying a different text. Captain Corelli’s Mandolin I read the summer I finished my GCSEs and I still love it, even though I ended up studying it for A-Levels!

27) Love stories that end tragically, parents losing a child, abuse, friendships unravelling...

28) A happy ending, strong (female) friendships coming through, an unexpected love interest....

29) Gone With The Wind. I think the copy I had was 600-800 pages.  30) I’m most like Meg and Beth from Little Women , would love to be friends with Anne Shirley, adore Atticus Finch, and think Peeta from The Hunger Games is my kind of guy too.
