lowkey just thought of this, but bare with me.

I cannot be the only one. It really bugs me when authors write Hotch as this big, bad character who's like super dominant and possessive. But he's not??? look, I wrote him as that once when I was a probie author, and I've learned.

Hotch is giant teddy bear and softie.

I'll say it louder for those in the back.

HOTCH IS A GIANT SOFTIE AND TEDDY BEAR!

he looks so scary, right? ↑

Aaron Hotchner is a complex character who's been a through a ton of sh*t, and his personality reflects that. He's not scary and shouldn't be written as dominant and possessive. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk (we all know this was a rant).

Carry on with your day!
