I should shut up about him but I don't want to

re: Matthew Gray Gubler from this article/interview

He has even reached that level of fame where he's the subject of a growing Internet rumor: that he's the basis for the Killers' song "Mr. Brightside," in which frontman Brandon Flowers sings about watching another man seduce his girl. Gubler, who's working with a mutual friend on a small project for the band, says that claim "blew my mind," but it's not true.

"I don't think so, anyway. I haven't really asked Brandon about it," he says. "I think I'd rather not ask him about it."

"But," he adds in closing, "I am Roxanne from the Sting song."

I've never even though to look for fanfic in that fandom, but yeah. I can imagine it sucking.

The bulk of the gen fic is a random big bad kidnapping/raping/torturing Spencer, followed by pages of hand wringing and smarm by the rest of the team, and a paragraph of actual detective work or plot development.

If it's a slash fic, then the story is exactly the same as the gen fic, but Spencer gets over the kidnap/rape/torture through the healing power of someone's cock.

Spencer is always written as a socially retarded six year old.

It makes me so, so sad.
