THE X-FILES | 1.20

In 1934, long before anyone even knew what an ecoterrorist was, a W.P.A. crew vanished from that same area without a trace.

black comic readers will say "buying black lead comics or black characters comics from dc doesn't stop them from getting axed and it's been literally 1200 days since dc has had a black ongoing so we're calling for a boycott to put pressure on dc by not buying comics and instead directly supporting black creatives" and here come the dumbest white people on the earth going "but dc is releasing pride month comics, do you hate queer people? but dc has female creators releasing comics, do you hate women? this boycott is so disorganised. i can't believe you hate queer people"

basically the best thing any character can do is decide they don't want to be afraid anymore - in fact they never want to be afraid of anything ever again - and take action so drastic they fail to realise that this too is a decision motivated by fear. or to account for the Consequences of that.

[valtsv]

[with obvious perverted intent] hey. don't you want to release the safety catches on that character. don't you want to flip off all the switches holding them back and let the control rods go.

[skellydun]

hey good luck today with whatever u got going on. u got this. and i hope something really nice happens to u today. u deserve it.

although i largely love terror/polar exploration fandom and think it's significantly more sensitive and thoughtful than most historically fixated spaces, there is also an undercurrent of subconscious racism and uncritical buy-in to the great man theory + belief that white men's stories no matter how relatively mundane/unremarkable are the center of everything. but then everyone thinks you're crazy for noticing it

[goddisposez]

and if reading this post makes you angry or upset or defensive i strongly recommend doing some self-reflection on why. what are the ways you yourself may be contributing to this undercurrent? are you someone who (even subconsciously) believes in great man theory and lets that bleed through how you write about history, franklin expedition or otherwise? if you are a contributor or possess these mindsets, you aren’t a bad person but it is your responsibility to reflect and unlearn. anti-racism and anti-colonialism is a constant ongoing process for all of us. these aren’t intrinsic virtues or labels you can slap on and call done. now stop making me read microaggressions on the app i downloaded to look at pictures of solomon tozer

The first time theb M9 meet Essek always leaves me screaming because he comes off as this ethereal, all-knowing beauty who is unscathed by their shenanigans when you know he's internally scheming about how he can use these idiots for ESPIONAGE AND TREACHERY, and then like 3 months later it's "I love them and they HAVE RUINED me with friendship" and I honestly think that's just so beautiful.
