A love declaration that'll get me every damn time.

#Fox 'i always care what you think but I will probably go on six different thought spirals anyway' Mulder

i wish there had been some follow up to the cancer arc and its consequences on scully. i know it is briefly mentioned in detour when she addresses the fears she had while dying, but i wish we had gotten a chance to more fully explore scully's recovery (how long did it take?) and the impact being so sick had on her for the rest of her life - physically, mentally, and emotionally.

#< prev #YES.#living with the perpetual push and pull of wanting to let go of how bad it was and looking forward #while being terrified to accept how much better it *is* now #because at any moment that could be taken away again and how could you possibly go through that AGAIN #also a really tremendous opportunity missed by the writers to explore Scully grappling (yet again) with survivor's guilt #that said we know she internalizes and compartmentalizes and physically/emotionally suffers in silence #i also think it's interesting she was the one to initiate the conversation #like was it for her sake? or for Mulder's?#surely she knows he was traumatized by having to watch her slowly almost die (again)#and probably thinks about what that did to him even though they never talk about it #yet at the same time we know *she* NEEDS to talk about it for her sake and deep down she knows that too #so maybe she only opened up to Mulder about this in Detour because she was like 'yeah he's in shock no way he's going to remember this'#or maybe she saw how vulnerable he was in that moment & put herself on the same level because they are each other's equals after all 🥲#or she was like 'quick better change the subject before the idiot curled up on my lap starts talking about getting naked with me again'#'quick what should i deflect with - AH YES: our shared unresolved trauma regarding mortality'

#i've thought about this a lot tbh and I have a lot of thoughts below #its insane to me that they have one bit of dialogue of how she felt during Detour and then they just like...never talked about it again #though i like to think a lot went on between episodes #i had a life-threatening health scare (not cancer) years ago and the lasting impacts were and still are PROFOUND #my immune system has never been the same (and never will be)#and in that first year or two anytime I was sick even with a cold I would see the fear in the eyes of my loved ones #which I hated because I had to be like I AM FINE #no seriously I AM fine #please don't look at me like that #Which is very Scully-coded honestly #which then lead to me feeling like I needed to hide when I was slightly under the weather bc I was worried about *them* worrying about me #but yeah those first few months/first year is like:#waking up every day wondering what your baseline is #discovering new muscles/nerves that surprise! cause pain now if you move wrong #getting random low-grade fevers and weird headaches bc your body is still trying to figure out how to function again #hitting a wall of fatigue and just falling asleep halfway through the afternoon no matter how hard you try to fight it #getting emotionally attached to safe foods while in the worst of the illness and then absolutely resenting them after #having nightmares out of the blue about medical procedures and interventions #that initial period when you're trying to get your stamina back and wondering 'what if this is as good as it gets?'#oh also suddenly getting really into new hobbies or recipes #like I became obsessed with making smoothies and bought a super fancy blender but also got really into sewing lol #crying for no reason and not knowing whether its happy tears or sad tears #anyway i'd SO love to read a fic about this / writers pls feel free to use any of the above as inspo

mulder’s first call at the start of chinga is very autism of him tbh he just wants his wife back

remember when Mulder was going crazy via LSD from his water system so Scully prescribed him ‘bullet in the shoulder and unconscious in backseat of my rental car for 2 days’. i love this show

#“You shot me”#“Yes I did”#like Scully girl pls you may as well have followed up with “AND I'D DO IT AGAIN”

puffy scully my beloved

#i am obsessed

the first thing dana scully is guaranteed to break whenever mulder is in danger is the hippocratical oath

The X-Files: S04E14 (Memento Mori) + S04E22 (Elegy) | Mulder's anguish when witnessing Scully's nosebleeds

#the worry lines on his forehead are exclusively for Scully

psychicpinenut

it's actually kinda funny that in all things it's about scully finally accepting her place in her current life, chasing crop circles with mulder and stops feeling guilty about leaving medicine when another one of her teachers she had an affair with in her 20s (girl what were you doing) comes back and at the end she's like i have to fuck mulder about this

#' i have to fuck mulder about this' is basically the entire slogan of s7 tbh

cannibalings

there’s actually a really cool alien subplot in the Mulder Loves Scully show

#who knew!!!

wintersnails

best x files scenes are alwayyys when mulder and scully are standing so close they are practically touching eyeballs and speaking into each other’s mouths

#they invented lack of personal space

roadlesstraveledby

can we talk about how in episode THREE of the x-files scully is like “you were acting pretty territorial” and then she tries to backtrack bc that sounds insane and mulder is just straight up like “of course i was”

like????????

episode THREE come on now

veryplausible

we should also talk about the dialogue that was cut from the first part of scene because I would have personally never recovered:

#like he's literally just catalouging her nervous habits #and being like #“girl listen to me you need chocolate today”#“don't even argue with me i'm an Oxford-educated behavioral profiler”
