Being soulmates takes away their choice though

okay sorry i have to answer this one because i was thinking about this the other day and i want to talk about it. and no!! it doesn't. in the field where i died, scully tells mulder, "even i knew for certain, i wouldn't change a day." that was scully saying it doesn't matter what the truth of it is, whether they're soul mates or not, she would choose the same thing. scully repeats this sentiment several times through the series. recently, i was specifically thinking about all things. this episode is a culmination for scully. for moving beyond just accepting her desires & choices, it's about affirming & embracing them. she "talks to god" and he talks back. the woman she kept seeing was an echo of mulder, leads her right to him in the end. they sit on his couch and talk about her journey. she says "i once considered spending my whole life with this man. what i would have missed...what if there was only one choice, and all the other ones were wrong, and there were signs along the way to pay attention to?"

to me, fate & choice are actually the same thing. scully, the person she is, she was always going to choose mulder. she chose mulder in the pilot, and she continued choosing him. it's a choice she made over & over, and she would do it all again. in the truth, sitting in another motel room, just like in the pilot, scully tells mulder: "why would i accept defeat? why would i accept if you won't? mulder, you say that you've failed, but you only fail if you give up. and i know you — you can't give up. it's what i saw in you when we first met. it's what made me follow you...why i'd do it all over again."

scully could have changed it any time, but she didn't. she could have transferred or quit in fight the future, but instead she goes to tell mulder in person, knowing he wouldn't let her just walk away. much like when mulder goes to see her in redux because she would change his mind if he was wrong. or in one son, she told him she couldn't help him anymore and ten minutes later, she's calling him.

i also may have literally just posted all of these thoughts recently but ya know. they're doing laps in my brain. so much of this show is about the concepts of fate vs choice. but really, it doesn't matter because they're the same. clyde bruckman's final repose is all about it. scully & melissa talk about it in the christmas carol dream/memory. mulder is always giving people opportunities, choices — not accepting anyone's fate before the end. fate & choice, like mulder & scully, are two sides of the same coin.

Cot3 Soulmate AU Doodle Mirroring

In a world where anything drawn on your soulmate's skin shows up on your own, fate lends a hand in bringing the trio together and fear plays its part in keeping their feelings a secret.

Or: the cot3 doodle soulmate au that no one asked for.

Okay, but “I have no purpose” “your purpose is loving me” is at once so beautiful, so romantic, so soul-shatteringly lovely to hear—and so terrible. So heavy a burden. So unforgettably damning. “I’m your purpose. Anything that ever happens to me now weighs double. Anything that ever spins out of your control can crush you beneath the weight. I’m your purpose, and you are mine, and we are doomed to fail one another again, again, again. I love you. I need you. I’ve cursed you.”

If it’s alright with you guys I’m gonna start interpreting any golden trio in media as reincarnations of Xena, Gabrielle, and Joxer

another fav microtrope is soulmate au where one person is just a hopeless fucking romantic that fantasizes about the day they find their soulmate and the other is like fuck the universe and hates the idea of being bound to someone just because fate said so but without knowing they're soulmates they start falling in love and the first person is so conflicted because they've loved and waited for their soulmate their whole life and the second person finds out but doesn't tell the first person because they want the first person to love them for who they are and not just because the universe said they should

Do you get emotional over sitcom characters from the 80s with very different backgrounds finding out they share a taste in big band music while clearing out an apartment that belonged to one of their fathers or are you normal?

every time i reread the bone witch trilogy i think, “surely i’ll be more normal abt it this time.” and every time, i am not more normal abt it that time.

[golden28s]

so i chose to be annoying today again and am i sorry ? yes, it's gonna happen again ? absolutely.

the thing is the idea of losing mickey haunts ian. and he’s been there, seeing that happening before, he has seen mickey physically going away, away from him and he has had to learn how to live without so many times and every single time it had been awful, painful. he never stopped thinking about him and in s6 he hated that, he hated that mickey was a part of him at that point, that he was under skin, in the way he tried to convince himself that he could like or love other people the same way or a "better" one. he was also, there, in every accomplishment that ian couldn't tell him about, in the city they both grew up and fell in love, in the way he missed mandy too, in his own bed, in every part of his skin that he touched.

and he was mad at it, he hated how mickey was everywhere but yet anywhere and not there with him. he tried to hate him, he tried to remind himself of the bad parts of mickey, of their relationship. he tried to make a mental list of every scar, of every wound that mickey and their relationship caused. he tried and tried because anger and hatred is easier, you can live with that and it won't kill you. you can be angry and resentful but it will make you feel alive, it will move you and the world will spin with you and not without you. but sadness, heartbreak and nostalgia is different. they're silent, quiet and will change your eyes and make them tired, dull . they will start a quiet invasion that it's gonna drain you, that it's going to make the world spin faster so you can't follow because you're too tired to run. so it's easier to be angry, it's easier to hate and fight and punch back.

but then he saw him again in s7 and he knew he was lying to himself, the anger and the hatred died the moment he saw him. and it was like time hadn't passed, like they hadn't been away from each other and it felt familiar, and safe and it felt like coming home. and when he went away again, when he lost mickey again he stopped fighting and hating and let all his love for mickey live somewhere quiet and safe until fate stepped in again and it did in s9.

and it's been years and ian knows mickey always comes back, he knows they always find each other again but it still haunts him, he's still terrified. he couldn't even go to visit him in prison because it was hard and painful and a reminder of the loss, a reminder of the years that he was going to have live without him. he's still scared of that in s11 when mickey decides he's gonna transport the weed and money wearing his own clothes and his own gun and he even asks him "what happens when you get arrested?" and he sounds mad in that scene, he's so worried and he's so scared that he's mad. he's mad because he knows what is like to live without mickey and that experience seems to be stuck in his memory as something to avoid. and now he's not gonna lose him again but not now and not ever again and starts working him and it feels like a "if you go away, im going with you".
