hii!
there's a question i've had on my mind for a while and i can't settle on an answer so i thought i'd ask your opinion because your views are always on point :
do you think mulder and scully slept with other people while they were broken up? personally, i think it's possible (especially for scully) but i'm really not sure so i'd love to hear different opinions.
thank you, i love your blog!! xx
omg thank you !!! i really appreciate that <3
this is something i've thought about before, not a lot. i definitely think it makes sense that they would. i don't think it would be anything deep or true connection with some other person. but they do both want companionship and at least on occasion, they will seek it out.
like with 3 & never again. they make a lot of sense to me & i love them immensely. they're wonderful character work. and because of them, i lean toward yes. however, i do think it would look different. it wouldn't be quite as punishing for mulder, and it wouldn't be about rebellion for scully. i think it would still kind of be something that "just happens" to mulder — not in an assault way, but in the way of him not really seeking it out? for scully however, it would still be about her patterns. like what she said in the revival about how she thought they could live together and she fled. for both of them, i think, it would still be wrapped up in guilt. mulder for losing scully, scully for leaving him. i would want them to just have something free of burdens, to maybe help them work through their issues, but idk if they know how to do that at any point. they get better at it with each other as time goes on lol and whenever i think about this, i think about how much they would both hate this for the other person. scully doesn't hold anything that's happened to her against him (and i don't think it's anything to do with why she left), and mulder wants her safe & he thinks away from him is safe, as he's said in different ways before.
