"What's your interest in this case?" // "Well, I'd like to know why this policewoman would suddenly drive her car into a field the size of Rhode Island and for no rhyme or reason dig up the bones of a man who's been missing for fifty years... also I've always been intrigued by women named B.J."

mulder and scully being two people that have had their boundaries and autonomy consistently violated finally finding comfort in the understanding and acceptance they bring each other. they really just love each other for who they are no strings attached i’m gonna cry 🙁

thinking about Mulder describing his workplace separation from Scully as “they’ve taken you away from me” , bc it’s just such a good example of msr’s unique brand of possessiveness (and it’s only 2x01 !!!)

it’s not “we’ve been separated”

it’s not “ we’re forced to be apart”

it’s “they’ve taken you away from me” as in “you were mine. we belonged to each other.”

I absolutely love, love, love the moment in 2x01 where Mulder (working alone, the X Files dissolved) is speaking into his tape recorder, documenting his findings at the Arecibo Telescope, and he suddenly begins addressing the recording to Scully.

He had been talking to himself, but once he became truly scared by the scene, he begins speaking to her by name.

Like she is his conscience, a companion more trustworthy and comforting than his own mind.

I need to be hospitalized over this moment — her rare beaming smile, the exceedingly rare scully laugh, holding his gaze but still sneaking another glance at him when he looks away..... Scully can't physically contain how happy working with him makes her feel, she is so fond of this peculiar man, and it is so CUTE

mulder and scully aren’t just work partners, they are a trauma-bonded pair of kittens DO NOT SEPARATE! MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER! and i think that’s beautiful

scully voiceovers: …and yet here i stand in the rubble of my preconceptions, left only to ponder if the world would’ve been a better place had i considered a way of knocking them down less violently. but the human self- mulder voiceovers: again only i confront the gooeyness of reality, even when its goopimg all over you. it gooped all over us

By the end of season one, it's apparent to other characters that Mulder and Scully are changing one another...

Deep Throat chides Mulder's new hesitance to follow his random breadcrumbs, and Skinner scolds Scully for her new willingness to go "off the book"...

The X Files is actually quite realistic for a workplace drama, our main characters are chronic outfit-repeaters
