I remember becoming tumblr mutuals and friends with you really early on in my criminal minds blogging days (lol). I’ve since moved accounts and onto other ventures (read: blogging about other 2000s tv shows) but it was the first community I ever felt like I belonged and you were definitely a big part of that. I’ve been following your substack since the beginning and it’s been amazing to watch you grow as a person and writer. So much love.
My mother watched criminal minds while it was originally airing and this I got an eye full of it from age 9 onwards, it’s got a special problematic spot in my heart

back in november 2022 (i think) i rejoined tumblr and you were one of the first people i followed again (we used to be mutuals, i deleted, to this day i have a screenshot from 2020 when u complimented me for an ask game and sometimes i find it in my gallery and feel better) and back in january i asked for some tips on starting my own newsletter (still hasnt happened but yay i have an account!) and 6 months later i still sometimes look at it. im not sure where i was going with this, i suppose i wanted to let u know, that u kinda had an impact on my life, however big or small <3
Man, your story makes me wish I’d started a newsletter earlier! I’ve always loved listening to and interacting with online analysts and reviewers. So I got Substack to potentially establish my own name! It’s good to know that you can find an audience for any kind of media :)
