I was thinking about how back in the day there was a really popular genre of fic called MulderTorture. I don’t hear this commonly anymore, but it used to be huge. Do you remember this?

And there was ScullyTorture, too, although I feel like MulderTorture was way more popular, or maybe that’s just me remembering it better because I enjoyed it more.

I think now people would call this whump. The style of fic definitely still exists, although I feel like it used to go WAY further than it does now, sometimes disturbingly so. (In XF fanfic. In other fandoms I think it goes plenty far.) It’s just fic with Mulder suffering physically, mentally or emotionally for angst purposes and then usually hurt/comfort. It could be MSR or slash.

It was VERY popular. Sometimes very extreme. For sure a kinky dimension to some of it. And authors used to brag in notes and in atxc posts about how much they hurt Mulder, which I feel like read out of context now seems kind of weird, but I mean people talk the same way about pretty guys in really popular AO3 ships now, so I guess same same.

Here is the fanlore page about MulderTorture.

Here’s one MT fic page.

You all remember this, right?

Hey-o! Friendly neighbourhood Dyscalculic - it's super cool to see Dyscalculia headcanons, but it's really not the best to compare it to Dyslexia, as it's actually a memory disorder and not a lexical/decoding disorder, and they present in very different ways. It's chill and I'm definitely not like, mad or anything, just heads-upping you.

Ah, thank you for letting me know!! I had no idea about that, so I appreciate you giving me that heads-up and I’m glad you also enjoyed that hc!

When will the dice curse be lifted?

I’d roll to find out, but ...

I was thinking about how people on tumblr get other people into shows by virtue of what they post and I remembered that I started watching OUAT for Rumbelle because you posted about it a lot. So thank you for leading me, inadvertently, to Swanfire. XO

I never saw this until just now. OMG That’s awesome! <3

He could feel it now, in the Force, could recognize the creature before him, recognize the cold, freezing dread that lived in the furnace of his heart, the Obsidian Dragon with eyes of dead starlight, walled away by flame, and held at bay by sheer force of will. The Obsidian Dragon made of fear and failure and weakness and death.

“I will not fall!” He ground out the vow from behind clenched teeth, pressing forward with the Force as hard as he was able. Darth Vader trembled in anger at the onslaught. “I am Anakin Skywalker, and I will never fall!”

Suddenly, intensely, power rushed off Anakin in waves, and Darth Vader bent under the assault, crumpling with wheezing breaths. The painful breaths of a pitiful creature.

Utterly spent from the release of energy, Anakin sagged to his knees, arms falling weakly to his sides.

“I am Anakin Skywalker,” he rasped, “and I am not afraid.”
