“Skeptic” this, “believer” that: no, the biggest difference between Mulder and Scully is that both are weirdo freaks but Mulder knows it and Scully thinks she’s normal

i love the x files cause it’s like what if the most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen (literal doctor and FBI agent) got slowly convinced into believing in the most bizarre things imaginable by the most beautiful man you’ve ever seen (big stupid doe eyes) (also top FBI agent) and now they’re wanted by the government for being hot. or whatever

idiots (affectionate)・[85/?] ⤷ 4.02 — “Home”

[volpeantica]

One of my favourite MSR moments ever is from episode 2.14, “Die Hand, die verletzt”. It’s not one of the great declaration scenes, not spectacular in that it tells us something slowly, carefully, explicitly – what made it so exceptional for me, the first time I watched it (30+ years ago), was, in fact, that it seemed so unspectacular, quick to the point of being almost easy to miss. “Holy fuck”, I remember thinking, “did he really just roll on top of her to shield her with his body?”, and then it was over before I could even process it.

What makes it so extraordinary for me still is the completely casual way in which he is ready to die for her, relatively early in their partnership (but of course after having gone through hell together, and apart, multiple times). They’re utterly vulnerable: lying on the floor, tied up, wet to the bones, threatened to be shot. He reacts so quickly, long before thought can set in: this is not a decision, it is mere, pure instinct. It’s not Mulder the gentleman, it is Mulder the feral animal protecting what is most essential to him. And he has no problem moving on top of her, something that in every other circumstance would have been sexual, but here is saying My body is your shield, it is nothing, while you are everything. This demonstration of complete, unconditional devotion that has reached his inner core, becoming integral part of his (nervous) system, leaves no room to consider, only to act. It moves me to tears every time I watch it.

Scully, I appreciate it, you don't want me looking foolish. I do, I appreciate that.

“tell me i’m crazy.”

“mulder, you’re crazy.”

[makingqueerhistory]

There are parts of queer history we will never touch. People who lived quiet lives and were forgotten within a generation. Stories that were tucked under the bed and hidden from the world. Diaries that were burned with nothing to recover. Beyond the hiding, there is queerness that never had the chance to be discovered, people who felt different but never gave themselves a moment or sliver of grace to explore, much less vocalize it. This is worth mourning. It is worth cradling to your chest and feeling to the fullest devastation. More than anything else, it is worth remembering.
