Hi there! =) Why Skinner/Scully from The X-files?
Woah, hello there @danander , how should I call you?
Thanks for asking about this, I see that we are literally on the same Ship here😜
(And thx for brought up the 1st question I've ever received since I started Tumblr)
Ok, so um, where to start...
Well, first, as you can see, I can't help myself from fall for mature handsome men (with power or knowledge). That made me fell for Skinner instead of Mulder (He's cute, but sometimes he's just like a teenager😝)
And secondly, after seeing Scully rushed into the hospital and shouted to find Skinner, (and held his hand, just right before he grabbed it tight the moment he felt, even stroke hers with his thumb. On his BARE CHEST😍..... )
That's when my shipping heart started to beat as fast as it could be. And I know that's the moment when I'm on board and never want to get off.
Besides this, I can see that Skinner was always there when she needed him (or Mulder, when he's not around). Not only as her supervisor, but her friend, and maybe even more.
He was always there to guard her, and to shield her from so many bad things even when she didn't realize it, but never tried to ask anything in return.
And I do believe that they would be a great couple consider their characters, vibe, and intelligence, etc.
(Not to mention when I accidentally found out the similarity between Mitch's partner and Scully on his Instagram, that seemed to reveal something of him. 😎) ( Yeah, just came to me when scrolled it on your page)
There are too many things to answere this "Why", but I think I've accidentally typed too much (and nobody wants to read this long XP)
So I'm gonna stop here.
(But if you do want more, you can always ask 😁)
(And just to clarify that English is not my first language, so if there's anything that's confusing, pls let me know)
So, what about your story?
I would really like to hear it, too!!!
Wow! Hi back @oglveronica ! I am Marina in real life. That was my first try at sending someone a question =) thank you very much for the answer! It is always great to find a person who is also into Skinner/Scully ship (you know there are not many).
Thank you for telling how it all started for you and I cannot agree more with you on the points you've made! As for me I don't know for sure what made it for me but I must say I never really shipped Mulder and Scully because as you said he is not the best choice for her as a life partner/lover imo.
I guess I am also attracted to older and more mature men in real life and Skinner is so powerful and strong <3 He has an excellent body thanks to Mitch Pilleggi =D He is tender and caring and always devoted to the woman he loves and respects.
As for the moment in the show that made me notice the vibe they share I think it might be Redux episodes, the scene when Scully is going to accuse Skinner of being a mole and faints and he is instantly beside her and he holds her with such tenderness and feeling though he knows she wanted to expose him but he cannot help himself, he touches her face with awe and worry in his eyes, that breaks my heart. I believe that interchange made me anxious and drew my attention to them as a possible couple.
Oh, I can talk about SSR forever and you are right Whys are so many here (no, you didn't type too much! I can read about SSR forever as well, including blogs, fanfiction and what not)
I am not an English speaker either and your English is perfectly clear to me so no worries about it =)
Thank you again for the reply and for being here for us Skinner/Scully fans! <3
