it's not you it's my anxiety

“Gillian has a lot of will,” Duchovny says two days after the Emmys. He and Anderson have a big scene in a hospital room, and as Duchovny utters his lines, Anderson tears up.

“Print it! Excellent! Fucking great, great!” the director cheers. A few minutes later, Anderson approaches her costar and says, “Great David.”

“Hey, thanks for that last one,” he says. The tears helped him nail his lines. “I thought maybe you had conjunctivitis. But you were really crying. At least one of us was good.”

do you ever just get a vibe that someone has a crush on you and then you’re not sure if they actually do or if you’re just really really self-absorbed

Date someone who looks at you the way that Mulder looks at Scully

David and Gillian deserve far more praise and awards than they originally got considering they are literally the only reasons why a large part of The X-Files fandom still exists and wants to see more of this show in the first place. 

I don’t think it can be overstated just exactly how necessary they were/are to the success of a show that was sometimes lazy at best. 

They took characters that were well formed but not always well written and made them iconic, larger than life, more interesting than the mysteries they were supposed to be solving. 

They took flowery, sometimes ridiculous dialogue and made it intimate, personal, loving, flirtatious. 

They took scenes that on paper were supposed to be nothing but turned them into everything. 

They understood their characters so well that they could play them through anything, through the good and the bad and the sometimes very bad. They were the only things the audience could connect to for years. 

What they didn’t see on the page, they brought to the screen based on nothing other than instinct and simply knowing what was best. The touches and glances and facial expressions that made us fall in love with Mulder and Scully and Mulder and Scully fall in love with each other. 

No matter how angry the fandom has been at this show’s creator and its writers, David and Gillian have given us enough that we want more. That we read bad spoilers, bad interviews, bad plotlines and shrug and say “well at least David and Gillian are Mulder and Scully” and that’s enough.

They went beyond simply portraying these characters, they went beyond simply showing up to work and reading their lines and going home for the day. They took something that likely never should have worked and made it legendary. 

And that’s something that I worry is not appreciated by the man who gave them to us, but at least it’s appreciated by the people who are consuming the media they’re creating for us. Without them, I don’t think any of us would still be here.

Today’s lesson: The X-Files is only a love story because of David and Gillian’s incredible chemistry, and Chris Carter still doesn’t actually understand what made his own show so successful.

It’s all about Mulder and Scully. People aren’t making .gifs about the mythology 20 years later.

does anything happen in the x files or do scully and mulder just look at each other

[baybscully]

other things happen but they aren’t as important

You can be a good person with a kind heart and still say no.
