Levi's Tumblr Recap 2023 [a ramble]
Tumblr media
Photo credit: @darkwitchoffandoms
I thought it would be fun to do a Tumblr recap like GoodReads or Spotify. So without further ado, here is some information and stats about my writing in 2023! 
I started writing fanfiction again in September thanks to @imagining-in-the-margins and her amazing monthly challenges. I am so, so, so grateful to have come across that post because it sparked my love for writing and Criminal Minds again. I have shifted tastes since I had last written for CM. In 2021 I was only writing for Spencer, but now I mainly write for Aaron, Emily, and on occasion, Spencer. Thanks to everyone who's joined or been with me since then. You make writing worth it all. Love You All - Levi ❤️
See my stats below the cut!

I think overall 2023 has been my most productive writing year ever (apart from the semester that I wrote my thesis in grad school). I am proud of the works I’ve produced, and I am so grateful to all of my readers and followers. You make the writing a joy. I want to especially thank @criminalskies and @silk-spun. Your support and blogs help me so much. I can’t even put it into words. I also want to thank @hotchs-big-hands, @hotch-girl @milla984 for the screencaps and gifs that give me all the Aaron, Emily, and Spence inspiration I need to keep writing into the new year. I love you all and I hope you have a safe night celebrating 2024, I’m gonna post my last fic of the year this evening. Love you (again) and happy 2024 - Levi - ❤️

I've been watching a lot more TV recently, so here are some that I've watched and think are pretty great! Click to keep reading if you want some rec's!
Ghosts - This came out in 2021 I think, and season 2 is airing now. I started this a day ago and it's fantastic. A comedy about ghosts in a mansion and the new owner can see them. I love how easy it is to watch!
Tumblr media
School Spirits - Airing weekly on paramount+ right now. This show has mixed reviews, but I'm loving it. It's like a murder mystery with ghosts trapped in the school where they died and the main girl is trying to solve her murder.
Tumblr media
The Other Two - Season 3 airs this May. This show is hilarious, about a brother and sister and their lives living in the shadow of their younger brother who got famous overnight. Think Justin Bieber when he was 15.
Tumblr media
Class of 07 - Binged it in a day. A high school reunion from an all girls school and they get stuck on the property because of the end of the world tsunami. This show is great and it's Australian.
Tumblr media
Yellowjackets - I'm sure people know of this one. It's great. Definitely a bit gross but worth it!
Tumblr media
9-1-1 - Dubbed as the gay fire fighter show. This show is great, toys with my heart strings every episode. No other show has made me experience so many emotions in a single episode.
Tumblr media
Criminal Minds - I have to add this because it's my current obsession. I started watching it for the first time last year and when I finished it I immediately started it again. It's just so good and it's perfect to binge because there's so much of it!

✨ 2022 Writing Year In Review ✨
Thanks to @spencer-reids-adventures for tagging me! Woo!
1. Number of stories posted to AO3: 58 (LOL UNINTENTIONAL)
2. Word count posted for the year: 1,099,815
3. Fandoms I wrote for: Criminal Minds, Harry Potter, Parks & Rec (but yo, I don't really count those last two)
4. Pairings: Luke Alvez/Spencer Reid, Aaron Hotchner/Spencer Reid, Derek Morgan/Spencer Reid, Spencer Reid/The BAU Team, couple random outliers in there somewhere. Feel blessed I didn't drop any of my 4 Jeid fics in public.
5. Story with the most:
Kudos: Casimir Pulaski Day with 536
Bookmarks: Casimir Pulaski Day with 262
Comments: And again! Casimir Pulaski Day with 151 comment threads (why is sadness so popular?)
6. Work I’m most proud of (and why):
Honestly? My first ever fic and the thing that got me back into writing. The Eyes Have It literally opened my own eyes to writing again after a decade of not touching a keyboard. I did not think I would make it past 1000 words, let alone the 100,000 words that fic inspired. I had never written dialogue seriously before, never come up with any kind of extended plot, never explored character arcs, or even written creatively past a few lines of poetry. I posted that first chapter assuming I would lose interest or my depression would get the best of me yet again but neither of those things happened. I finished the three-part series three months later and made so many amazing fandom friends through that one fic. Even if it's not my most popular or even best-written work so far, it will always be my favorite.
7. Work I’m least proud of (and why):
OOF. Well, quite a few fit that category but one I'm quite sad about is also just a symptom of my itchy fingers when it comes to writing whatever pops in my head. I deleted it (so sorry) but I plan to return to it one day and make it what I wanted it to be. If you're dying for shitty Highway58 drunkfics, here are these two terrible gems: The Wolf (terrible half-assed attempt at werewolf Spencer, update coming the next time I have whiskey) and my one and only Harry Potter fic, Sequi Mi, where I decided no matter how hard I fangirled on HP in my youth I can't do it anymore now. Maybe one day.
8. Share or describe a favorite review you received:
My very first few comments on my first-ever fic bolstered my confidence like nothing else could. Some were short, some were so long and detailed that they made me cry. I recall two specific commenters who stuck by that crazy story with inspiration and encouragement and they are now in my circle of online friends I never would have found if I didn't keep writing. <3 Every comment I get is an amazing compliment and every single person who decides to take the time to read my bullshit is a goddamned gift.
9. A time when writing was really, really hard:
Several stories I've completed this year spanned a time of my life that I thought was my lowest point. While writing it out through fic was helpful, it was also an outlet that exposed my issues and forced me to face them. The hardest time for me to write was also the time I probably wrote the most, when I was in that lowest space around this time last year. I felt guilty about it when everything else was going to hell but I kept doing it. Ultimately, exploring this side of my creativity allowed me to overcome some of those massive problems I thought were insurmountable.
10. A scene or character you wrote that surprised you: 
So many. I think I was somewhat surprised to find how much I enjoy writing the OC protagonist from their warped perspectives. I wrote a sadistically evil Doctor, a psychopathic billionaire heiress, and a Wild West warlord this year all within the context of CM and they were SO MUCH fun, I'm sad I killed them all. I also just think it's interesting to explore the potential depths of OCs within the fanfiction genre. So, that was a pleasant surprise when all I anticipated starting on this journey was a new way to explore the characters I already love.
11. A favorite excerpt of your writing:
Ugh. I dunno. Too many words, but here's this from my first OC I still love and miss: Cheers, Caro, you might be in my first OG novel one day:
"Time to make an offering. 
The clothes and the phone bundled in her hands, she turned to the door. Walked down the narrow stairs, across the empty hall. Pushed the creaking screen door open against a violent night, the storm which had gathered earlier finally unleashing its fury. 
She cradled the phone with the image of those hands frozen, locked against her. Against her. On her. In her. Choking life back into her. 
Edging the rusted gate open she entered the garden. The wildness couldn’t compare with home, but it was something. " The Eyes Have It, Chapter 19
12. How did you grow as a writer this year: 
I think I've expressed this already elsewhere but... I wasn't a writer at all before this year. I dabbled for years in poetry and songwriting before landing at a point where I assumed my creativity was dead beneath the yoke of daily life and responsibility. When I started reading fanfiction, I was more depressed than I have ever been in my life. I buried myself in the words of others and wished I could even come close to that kind of creative expression. So when I finally sat down to write a story, I outlined something that came nowhere close to the story I ultimately wrote--and that's when I learned it's not about planning or hoping to do it, it's just about doing it. So, if anything, I grew comfortable with the idea that I can write and that I should--for myself. Because it helps.
13. How do you hope to grow next year:
I hope to start finishing my WIPs more succinctly and with a bit more regularity. I do think I need to spend less time writing fanfic and more time honing my other skills. It is difficult to find the delicate balance between doing something for fun and doing it because you feel you need to please others. That's the double-edged sword of writing and posting fics--sometimes you feel the guilt weigh heavy when you let. a story lie there for months without relief. So, I want to probably slow down with my writing and be a little more intentional with it going forward. (Though honestly, that pains me to imagine--I love following the faintest whiff of fresh plot wherever it might lead). I do know I have no plans on stopping now that I've started.
14. Who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc): 
This is so hard. I've met so many new people this year who have endlessly encouraged and inspired me. Way too many to list here. I will shout out to @foggyblues-ralvez for being the first person to say Hi to me from the fandom (seriously, my dear Mandy, thank you <3). @masterwords, I love you and writing with you has been a fucking honor (also just hi, you should do this if you haven't yet, ily). @spencer-reids-adventures--endless love for your support and comments and the sprints, literally every step of the way. And then I'll shout out @brillianthijinx because darlin' you bring out a side in me I love and am terrified by lol, in the best way. But again, if I were to personally shout out every single person who has made an impact on me and my writing this year this silly thing would be longer than my ao3 wordcount. No one wants that.
15. Anything from your real life show up in your writing this year:
I won't go into detail here, but, yes. I write Spencer as my comfort character. While I sensationalize his issues to suit the story, the emotions are written from repressed experiences I have never explored. Writing is therapy as much as it is an obsession for me.
16. Any new wisdom you can share with other writers:
Just start writing. Don't think. Write. Share it or don't. Edit or don't. Just write. Every damn day, if you can.
17. Any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year:
Good lord, ALL of them. I hope to finish Casimir Pulaski Day by the end of January. I will be bringing back Signed, Sealed, Delivered in January as well. I want to finish up a few short fics soon and then continue my sequel to Silk Road quite soon. I have several A/B/O fics in the works, including the sequel to Old Town Road. @masterwords and I will of course be continuing our soft Hotchreid saga in Missing Pieces of Sleep. And then, you know, in my spare time I plan to start up part 2 of Finding it Out to explore some complicated Moreid/Hotchreid love triangle stuff within the canon. So, I've got a few things going on, ya.
18. Tag some writers whose answers you’d like to read.

Criminal Minds: Evolution initial thoughts (no spoilers)
I watched the first two episodes available on Paramount Plus.
It is different in a good way.
The unsub network storyline is more interesting than I thought it would be.
Highlights: The team actually feels like a work family. And the work feels like work; you can really sense how stressful their job is. The reason for Garcia to return, which I was really worried about, fits the storyline. I really like how they are expanding Dr. Tara Lewis beyond work.
Lowlights: The in-office conflict is something they did before however the consequences feel more final this time around.
Overall, while I wish they used the AMC+ format when releasing the episodes, I am really enjoying the reboot.

finished that fucking spencer reid fic and my life is not the same. i am not the same person i was 2 hours ago before reading that ROLLERCOASTER of a fic. i cannot believe persephonesgrace was the person to get me out of my 4 month reading slump. like ive been picking up books for 2 months and just putting them down halfway through because i cannot get through them.
wnwn is enthralling and intriguing and beautiful and it’s genuinely such a work of art. like there’s constant conflict but just the right amount of fluff. i’d say it has somewhat of a slow start but once you get to 25% it gets really good with the mystery factor. gave me massive manacled vibes but i like spencer reid as a character more than i like draco or hermione so i was so much more emotionally attached to this. 
it’s 218k words and the sequel’s 24k but it’s unfinished. which is fucking painful and i feel like i’ve felt that before. the sequel is so cute to read but it makes me sad because there is SO much potential. however i don’t have the same attachment to late show reid as a i do to early show reid so i don’t mind the series not continuing. it has a lot of conflict already set up but tbh, it’s a little too much conflict. like it’s bordering on stress with spencer and y/n’s internal struggle, as well as RAISING A CHILD, and how everyone wants to kill them and shit. like i totally understand why the author wouldn’t want to continue that because it’s stressing me out just thinking about all the plotlines trying to be intertwined. 
speaking of the author, let’s talk about the ending of the original 218k word fic. literally a fucking masterpiece. i am OBSESSED with thriller and romance, especially when it’s crafted as beautifully as this. as good as dead by holly jackson is probably my favorite book and it also does a combination of that. it’s also a very similar book to that, but this one is a lot more serious. i feel like with this, i realize sincerely that the best stories always leave you wanting more. this story has an ambigious ending that is generally sad, in like the way that it implies a lot of off-screen misery that we don’t see in detail. not to mention the fact that the person who wrote it didn’t have any social media linked. the story hasn’t been updated in a year and a half and i don’t think it will be coming back anytime soon. it’s not hard to see why, as the second project from what has been written looks to be even more complicated than the first. they reached too high for the clouds and got overwhelmed, probably. i wish we just had like a 50k word epilogue or something with mucho fluff, but honestly when you think about the storyline that would’ve been out of place. everytime a dragon head was slayed in the story 3 more dragon heads regrew in its place. we went from love confessions to mafia to corrupt society to soft parenthood to death in one fic. 
in conclusion, i have one more thing to note. i don’t think i will ever be able to re-experience how i felt reading that fic because i went in completely blind. the thriller and mystery aspect of it hit me like a truck. like i knew there was mystery but i didn’t know it would be so well orchestrated. the flashbacks were absolutely beautiful and paced so well; my jaw was on the floor the entire time. as i mentioned this fic completely flowed and changed in such a way that i didn’t predict even in the slightest. 
tldr: i love spencer reid. xoxo

CHECKMATE ━ spencer reid ♙
Blaire Sloane never understood what it meant to have a family. Her father died when she was young, leaving her with an overprotective mother and a mountain of trust issues against the male species. When his death has later ruled a homicide with the killer still on the loose, Blaire takes matters into her own hands. When she's old enough, she takes a chance to build a life far from home's picket fence and finds herself in Quantico, VA. Now a renowned FBI agent, Blaire strives to make each day to make the world a safer place. Yet she's unsure who she is making it a safer place for. Her counter-terrorism expertise and her uncanny ability to tell someone their life story catches the eye of Agent Tobias Fornell, who proceeds to use her as his secret weapon. Fornell tasks the woman as the liaison between the FBI and NCIS, and she does her job well. Until her fiancé is shot by a terrorist on US soil, leaving her devastated and alone once more. Sensing that Agent Sloane may need a change from the orange and grey walls of NCIS, Fornell has her reassigned to the BAU in hopes of bringing back what life she has left.
THE BEHAVIORAL REVIEW coming soon!

New in Germany: Paramount+
New in Germany: Paramount+
The launch was on December 8, 2022. Paramount+ has been around since 2014 in the U.S. In Germany, it just launched and its CEOs don’t seem to know the German market very well just yet. Otherwise, they probably wouldn’t have offered credit cards as the only payment option for their streaming service. Note to American business peeps: not all Germans have credit cards, we like PayPal. Since I…

So it turns out that 8 seasons of The Blacklist is bordering on too much. Not because I don't still enjoy it, but because it's got a relentless myth arc that doesn't have nearly enough resolution the longer it goes on.
I think there's a trope on TV Tropes called the Chris Carter Effect, named after the showrunner of the X-Files, where a show will keep adding onto its myth arc until the show implodes and people stop watching because they don't care what the mystery is any more. It took one turn too many, kept people on the hook for so long that they ate through the bait and decided they didn't want to be reeled in.
For the most part, I think shows that do this aren't wholly planned out. I think Lost was a big example of this in the 2000's, it was written as it was being filmed and the ending disappointed because they couldn't possibly resolve everything in a way that made sense - it was never written to make sense. From what I hear, the X-Files pulled the same move of building up this myth arc even when it was revived. Some shows thrive on that "down the rabbit hole" feeling without actually having an endgame.
I don't think The Blacklist is that kind of show. It is absolutely a "rabbit hole" type show, it's a conspiracy thriller - what I mean is that I think it has an endgame that it's had set in stone since at LEAST season four. The issue is that it just isn't giving up the goods, and the conflict is now being built on top of that tension instead of resolving the tension. It's beginning to get frustrating.
#the blacklist#mind you I still like the show#and also frankly? I like what they're doing with elizabeth keen. haters fuck off#I'm at the point where seasons 1 and 4 are my favorite seasons. season 6 marked a significant decline imo#some of that is because of keen. some of it is because of reddington. I'm firmly on keen's side in that she's been drawn into this mess#and she hasn't had any agency or any relief from this waking nightmare that the past 8 years of her life has been#people on imdb are going 'shes the worst part of the show just kill her already' and it's so annoying#like she's a flip-flopping primetime TV protagonist. it comes with the territory y'know. she does her job as a character and it's fine imo#that's the worst part of the viewing experience so far - this fanbase that's frothing at the mouth insisting she's the worst part#I'm not entirely happy with her character arc either but the hate is just really shitty#ultimately the way the show handles her character can be poor#lots of character shilling while a list of her manipulating and hurting everyone else keeps adding up. that's a bit frustrating#that being said - as a relative civilian being groomed into the criminal lifestyle by a person who's clearly close to her#but never actually discloses his relationship to her? who is proven to be so deceitful past a certain point#that she can't even trust him after what he had her believe?#and trust me I know what the big fan theory about that is. the reason I'm watching the show is because of that. and I'm loving it#but elizabeth keen doesn't know that. and she's turning to extreme measures just to find closure for a mystery that reddington opened up#just by stepping into her life without telling her why. I 100% side with keen even if her character can be wonky#and her methods aren't great. I totally get why she's like this. and I don't like how other people react to her showing up for 2 minutes#by docking review points for the episode and saying they should kill her off. I'm really getting sick of that

Since when Criminal Minds is only about one character? The reboot is alll about Prentiss. Like if it wasn't bad enough the fact that the character became a cheap copy of Hotch's character

Ouch, we went down 38 spots to land at 72 on the tumblr year in review list
But the metrics were run from Oct 20-21, so the renaissance due to the reboot won't be counted until next year 😎
