Every time I play Loki, and this is a source of constant surprise and delight to me, is that people love him so much. And I think it’s because people can relate to him in some way. He’s an outsider. He’s a misfit. Tom Hiddleston

If you know me at all, you know how much this meant to me! After the insane dislocation of my knee (5 days before college move-in!), i had to take a gap year to have three knee surgeries, including major reconstruction on both knees. i was in physical therapy for over a year. i was stuck alone in my house almost every day. i found Criminal Minds, and that was my distraction from endless hours of painful PT, post-op immobility, and loneliness. Reid was always my favorite, but was even more so when i learned that Matthew Gray Gubler had had a similar injury/surgery. Seeing that he was able to film an entire season of CM while recovering gave me so much encouragement, and i told myself that if he could do that, i could keep working so i could finally get to college in the fall. It made me feel less weird about needing a cane to see him use one. When i was watching CM, i wasn’t thinking about how much pain i was in. It gave me something to look forward to during hours-long PT sessions and weeks stuck on the couch.

Getting to meet Matthew in person, and getting to tell him how much he inspired me, meant the absolute world. He was the absolute sweetest! i’m so so glad i had the chance to see 68 Kill in all its insane glory, and to say thank you to him. Though “thank you” hardly feels like enough.
