welcome to scuttling 🦀

Hi, you can call me Elle! I'm 34, my pronouns are she/her, I live on the East Coast of the US. I am Latina, bisexual, and anxious; those things will probably come up a lot around here!

This blog is often NSFW. I tag anything I can think of that may be triggering, but if I've missed something please let me know so I can update my posts.

I have many obsessions, but if you're here it's probably because we share a love of Criminal Minds and its characters, or other fandoms. I write SFW or NSFW stories. I have a list of prompts here if you'd like to drop a prompt and pairing and see where I take it!

Ships I do not write: Hotchniss, Jotch, Jeid Content I do not write: Graphic sexual assault, eating disorders, infidelity/cheating, recreational drug use, extreme power imbalance.

Thanks for stopping by!

Jess: I'm sorry you've been feeling crappy lately. Have you tried writing? Me: Well... I tripped, stumbled, fell into an open word doc and accidentally wrote 25,000 words of Eric Northman from True Blood fanfic. Jess: ... Me: And it's nasty. Jess: ... Jess: Which one's Eric? Me: The blond one Jess: I KNEW it

Devil You Know

Fandom: The Vampire Diaries Pairings: Damon Salvatore/female reader (future) Word Count: 2,107 Tags: Just canon typical violence/blood so far, Episode related 2x14 Crying Wolf Summary: Damon's in love with Elena, would do anything to keep her safe—including forming an alliance with a mysterious newcomer who just might change everything. A/N: I consider this a teaser I guess, as plan to write the rest of season 2's storyline! I hope you like it :)

Keep reading below!

Damon goes to the historical society tea party because he needs to confront Elijah. 

It’s absolutely the last thing he wants to do, after blowing off Jenna’s friend Andie, who will almost certainly be in attendance; the last thing he wants to do, knowing that Elena and Stefan are on some romantic getaway to her family’s cabin by the lake. But he needs to protect her, which means finding out more about Elijah and the deal he’s made with her, which means he gets dressed and goes to the party, puts on a smile, charms the pants off everyone like he always does.

It’s not easy, but someone’s gotta do it.

Do you guys remember how kidnap fantasies were popular on wattpad because young girls and queer teens were both made to feel shame at the thought of their own sexualities, so the fantasy of being kidnapped totally against their will was a way for them to engage with a romantic or sexual fantasy without feeling morally in the wrong for doing so? Added bonus that the fantasy involved being whisked away from repressive environments like home or school, right?

Finding out that Bram Stoker was in a sexless marriage and that scholars believe that he very likely was closeted gay puts the entire book into perspective as to WHY it reads EXACTLY like a self insert wattpad Dracula kidnap fic:

“I TOTALLY love my wife and would never do anything that an upstanding Good Straight Working Man wouldn’t do but oh nooo, big strong man with broad back and strong enough arms to carry me back to bed like a princess trapped me and claimed me as his, completely against my will 👉👈 But he protects me against the bad evil sexual women (who I assure you, I am TOTALLY sexually attracted to, as any straight man with a choice would be) but trust me, I do NOT want ANY of this. What’s that? The Count is not capable of feeling love? Would be a shame if I had the special ability to change tha-”

This is also the fantasy behind all those old bodice-ripper romances that people today like to mock or call problematic, by the way.

“Oh, my next forty years are going to consist of nothing but washing dishes and keeping house and bearing children for the disdainful man I married right out of high school because my parents said college was for men and I had no other obvious life path open to me? What if a pirate captain thought I was worth stealing away from it all? [what if I ran away but no-one could blame me for leaving]?”

dana scully character of all time. she's five foot two. her two day jobs are cutting up dead people and professional ghostbuster. she's got daddy issues. she owns a fluffy little dog. she's held multiple different government officials hostage multiple times. she kissed her boss on the mouth. she accuses said boss of trying to kill her like once a year with literally no foundation. she's catholic but her favorite movie is the exorcist. she shot her best friend. she was abducted by aliens and still refuses to believe in them. she dresses like an underpaid arts teacher. she met god in a parking garage. out of the two times the man she's been blisteringly in love with for years confessed his feelings to her, the first time she got so overwhelmed she started crying and the second time she thought he was high on painkillers. she can't park a car. she once had an existential crisis, got a tattoo, and slept with a serial killer. she wears socks on the beach. she might be immortal

It’s so nice to see that my BTVS/Spuffy gif sets are doing so well (by today’s Tumblr standards anyway). I hadn’t wanted to gif anything for months due to lack of interest and on a whim decided to gif this Spuffy scene in Touched because it’s still one of my favorite moments.

Not having engaged in the BTVS/Spuffy fandom before, I didn’t expect much but it’s my first gif set in a long time that’s reached 1k notes. So, thanks to all of you that have liked and reblogged my sets. It means the world to me and also motivates me to create more.
