Byers claims that Mulder is too high profile to help find Suzanne but I think he's actually still upset about his jacket

Sister literally the moment Frohike came on screen in Three of a Kind: ✨️🩷Frohike!🥰✨️

Tangentially related, Sister and I have been referring to every shape-shifting alien bounty hunter and rebel collectively as "Brian Thompson" which means that there have now been several instances where a character will come on screen and Do Violence only for her to turn and ask me, "is this Brian Thompson?" And the answer is yes but it is also simply a totally different actor

Mulder: so a not-boring alien left the boring aliens to play baseball and intentionally utilizes racism to avoid becoming famous and–

When I was in college, I got my first tattoo. Not long after, a guy who sat behind me in one of my classes tapped me on the shoulder and told me that he'd seen my tattoo online, being made fun of as an example of "dumb shit fandom girls do." I'm not a girl, mind you (I'm nonbinary), but to a bunch of people online I was a "stupid girl who got a stupid tattoo for a dumb fandom."

Anyway, the guy from my class was really nice about it--he apologized for having to tell me bad news, and gave me the contact info for the guy who posted it so I could ask for it to be taken down.

Now, the tattoo in question? It's a bird. It's not actually a fandom tattoo, it just coincidentally looks vaguely like a bit of symbolism from a fandom that was popular at the time I got it. But it was enough to unleash a firestorm of "look at this stupid girl with her stupid cringe tattoo" comments.

(Even if it WAS a fandom tattoo...who gives a shit??? It's my body and my tattoo and I don't really give a shit what strangers think.)

The misogyny of my body being put online and circulated for mockery without my consent really fucked me up at the time. I felt awful. I was mortified. I was scared more people would recognize me from the post and give me shit. It sucked so bad.

So I just kinda think you're a fucking douchebag if you participate in tattoo shaming for anything that isn't, like, a blatant hate symbol. I don't really care if you think it's tasteless, or cringe, or badly done, or whatever other justification.

It's jackass behavior.

#it's so easy to look at a tattoo you don't like very much and go 'glad they like it. moving on'

idiots (affectionate)・[86/?] ⤷ 4.06 — “Sanguinarium”

#txf #sanguinarium #they're so best friends it's disgusting #other people in the fbi mock his theories and dont respect him and it hurts #but he knows Scully respects him so when she ribs his ideas it's light fun that he can comfortably acknowledge when it's an accurate jab

Have I mentioned that I think Mulder apologizing immediately when Scully pulls away from him in the hallway is directly related to his father deflecting his hug with a handshake in Colony?

goodshipsmulder

Agree, he's got issues with feeling rejected in general and particularly with intimacy. Not just his dad not hugging him, but also shown in how defensive he is around his exes.

I mean this is a guy who has been attracted to Scully for years, arguably from the very beginning, who waits 5 years to even try to kiss her on the lips. And then only does so when he thinks he might never see her again because she's about to quit the FBI.

A recurring theme really when you look at the Triangle kiss (genuinely thinks he might have doomed himself to be never see her again) and the Millennium kiss (an excuse to brush it off as a joke about the world ending or claim it as a mere new year tradition if she rejects him)

dabeth-is-dead

Oh yeah, Mulder's long history of being emotionally neglected and manipulated by people who were supposed to love him (plus Samantha's disappearance) and subsequent abandonment and self-worth issues are so interesting to me, and a great avenue of character exploration. I also think it's a major factor in Mulder preemptively rejecting himself before Scully can, and why he's to scared to change their dynamic. Mulder genuinely believes based on past relationships that Scully will eventually come to her senses and leave him too
