wouldn’t it be so fucking funny if every x files episode ended the way the pilot and season 1 finale did. Like the cigarette smoking man puts something in an evidence box at the end of every episode. at the end of gender bender he puts a bisexual flag pin in evidence box 18273 and walks out solemnly

[leiascully]

never fails to astonish me that the x files is, against all odds, one of the most romantic pieces of media in existence

Yes, it's worth it, but there are moments you willl regret watching.

It was one of the first shows to do an overarching mythology cut together with Monster of the Week (literally) episodes, so you may not always feel like the storyline is advancing, but the characters are.

It's not comparable to anything. It was the original. Other shows are comparable to it. And nothing can compare to the chemistry between the leads.

You don't need to know all the lore at the beginning and you shouldn't expect to know all the lore at the end. It really only holds together for 5-7 seasons imo and the rest is optional but has enjoyable moments. You will encounter typical 90s attitudes about race and gender and also some surprisingly progressive ideas.

It will alter your brain chemistry if you give it a chance. If you don't want that, give it a pass.

Is the x-files worth it?? Half the people I ask say no, while the other half is a big time yes. I’ve watched like 5 minutes of the first episode and then got overwhelmed by the lore and the amount of seasons. I really have been feeling like I want to try it again, but does it drag or get over the top or boring? I hate when shows do that (looking at you TWD).

So please let me know whether you love or hate it or somewhere in between or why!

I just trust some of the opinions on here more for whatever reason so help meeeeee

Also what is the vibe like? Is it a kind of odd twin peaks esque type vibe with random moments of action, or is it fast paced and always super intense?? What is it comparable to?

Idek just help please lol

Last Line Written

@muldersfingers and @spooky-jordan tagged me to post the last line I wrote on my WIP. Here you go.

Scully glanced around. "What's on the menu?"

Tagging @laurencem because I love her in a bullying way and @sigritandtheelves because I love her in a non-bullying way.

Happy birthday, Fox Mulder! (celebrating with Spooky fic recs)

In honor of Mulder’s birthday, here's a somewhat eclectic selection of Mulder-centric fic. (Some of this isn’t a very nice way to celebrate his birthday as it is a bit angsty and traumatic, but luckily he doesn’t know.) These are all just fics that feature Mulder in the foreground I happen to admire and think of offhand; there are sooo many more.

Genius by Kipler This is a vintage fic (written 1995!) and it feels SO MUCH like an early episode of the show in vibes. A casefile that becomes a serious Mulder character exploration. Canon divergent, but it feels like it could have been canon in some parallel XF universe.

Just the Thing - pinebluffvariant This is about opening presents after How The Ghosts Stole Christmas, not his birthday, but right mood. The end of this … y'all, my breath catches, it’s so perfect.

The Fox Mulder Phonetic Alphabet - storybycorey Mulder’s ABCs of Scully. This seems at first like alphabet themed vignettes, but omg keep reading until the last, because it becomes a narrative that make me weep.

Mrs. and Mr. Spooky - leiascully This fic has both (1) a Tom Colton reunion and (2) Scully seriously upping her birthday present game.

Normal Conversations - Soronia Mulder goes to therapy. The therapist suggests he has normal conversations.

october midnight- skuls Mulder celebrates his birthday in 2018.

Radium - spark_writer Dysfunctional, miserable Mulder in love will do anything but tell her.

Seventeen - scapegrace74 A history of Mulder’s sexual experiences. This ends up being a really moving character study that takes his personal trauma seriously. It also is MSR and leads to that in a simply beautiful way.

Vox Mulder: Wired and Fired - darwin_xf This is a long, rich exploration of how Mulder evolves season 6/7, a kind of replacement for The Sixth Extinction / Amor Fati. Masterful dialogue, partner vacations, smut -- if you haven't read this, it's a treat. You should.

You Send Me - spookynerd Mulder as romantically smitten and completely in character. He’s anxious and miserable and developing theories. This fic is sweet and darling and deliiiiiightful.
