So I've watched "Fire" again tonight, which is not my favourite episode. (I've never watched "3" by the way and I've been watching episodes of 'The X-files' for 20 years).

So anyways, it is a pretty cool episode in many ways but as probably everyone would agree, the British Inspector is extremely irritating and that kind of spoils the episode partially.

It feels heavy, not the usual cute and exciting X-files banter. But I genuinely don't want to put all the distaste on Phoebe Green even though there is a lot to say about this character. I'm most irritated by the mere fact that Agent Fox Mulder is unable to resist this woman's advances so easily. And by that I mean that it seems very easy for him to give into her and kiss her passionately. Same with "3" and same with Diana Fowley. I do not understand how Scully doesn't draw the line here with clarity and gets the heck out of this and most certainly I do not understand why Mulder is so inclined to lean into other women so easily. It's like Scully is completely out of the picture once these women show up. I don't actually care about what could be said in his defense here, I'm just very irritated and that's part of why I don't really like Mulder. You can't say you love and care for Scully deeply and then nibble at every tartlet that comes along. This is so incongruent.

You ever accidentally kudos a fic you hate (not even just mildly dislike, actually hate, because it’s character bashing of your fave) because you mixed up the tabs with the fic you love?

Every time someone leaves a comment on my fics saying “DONT LET THIS DIE! DONT ABANDON THIS!” I will abandon it for longer and longer

Is it strange that seeing people on the internet and celebs that I follow being happy makes me happy? cause i see a lot about "parasocial relationships" and how "I can't be happy with the celebs without being their friend or knowing them irl" I have no idea how to ask people to tag or blog this cause im trying to have fun on the internet and otherwise very good blogs are posting this so its hard to avoid. Any advice or tips or anything?

I'm not quite sure what you're asking.

Are you asking me whether I think it's OK that you're happy that celebrities and strangers are happy? Because my answer to that is a resounding yes. There are many sources of joy in this world and it's important to embrace them.

Although I do think boundaries can help a little bit. Most of the time we're not happy because they're happy, we're happy because we're telling stories where they're happy. Understanding that there's a gap between us and them and their experiences and ours is incredibly important to avoid being sucked into some of the weirder aspects of fandom.

But if you're asking me what to do about the fact that even blogs you like will post incredibly annoying material that involves telling other people what to do, even though nobody asked. Then sorry I don't. Postblock is brilliant. Otherwise remember that if you're ignoring what they say you're taking their advice not to let parasocial relationships dictate your life.
