Maybe I’d never been a lost soul. Maybe I’d just been… Misplaced for a while.

'Radical feminist' is a role you have to perform and actively work towards not a label you can identify into. Lest any of y'all have forgotten: we are meant to be examples to the women and girls around us that you can exist and have a fulfilling life while defying patriarchal teachings and practices.

omg rm9 was kinda fun To Me. i enjoyed mulder and scully going on a sushi date, scully being SOOOOO embarrassingly down bad for a man she’s known over 20 years, and of course the restaurant attacking them because mulder is a bad tipper. it’s also just nice to see them living life, you know??

i had a blast with rm9 tbh, a classic s11 well! have no idea what happened there! but i enjoyed myself! episode. just talked about it a bit but yes!! just seeing them living life!! literally the majority of s11 isn't even them going on cases they're just like. existing. and falling into Situations. in rm9 all they wanted to do was go to this sushi place. scully is of course always embarrassing as hell but what i loved loved loved loved about her in rm9 (and consequently throughout s11) is that last moment at the diner when they're both on their phones, and she puts hers away and just kinda leans over to his shoulder and takes his hand, and he puts his phone down.

i was so floored to see her do that, to ask for his attention like that. so much of the original series is scully...almost quietly suffocating, sometimes? being on the edge of his myopia and focus? wanting him to see her so bad, and then lashing out (READ: fucking serial killers) to either rebel, or get him to notice? but it's been a long time and he has been many more things to her since and now she just grabs his hand and makes him turn to her. in forehead sweat when she whines that he needs to feed her or she's leaving!! and then she does leave!!! in plus one when they aren't even "back together" yet, and she sneaks into his motel room and asks him to hold her.

scully in the revival has left him. she has struck out on her own, had her own career, lived on her own, been a doctor. and she's back and they're back because there's work to be done, and because, as james wong says: "She’s in love with him that way. She had a different career as a doctor, but she came back, because this is so important to him—she’s coming back to be there for him."

she's back, and they're back, because they're always choosing each other, and they've proven it, and they've done the work. she complains about his stakeouts. she cracks jokes about being sure he's on his meds!! she knows that their son is "guiding" them both, somehow. she doesn't question it.

she's embarrassingly down bad even after 25 years because she's never anything but adored him, but there's so much more availability now. she can openly check him out and invite him back into her room and giggle at him and sleep on his jacket in bars. she used to cry, every single time that he was present with her. she used to be so overwhelmed that she couldn't speak, when he was focused on her. this is the inverse reaction of the stability and peace that mulder has found, there's a steady foundation for scully to grow on.

“You could own me, you know,” he murmured with a cracked voice. “Hand me the collar and I’d put it on myself. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do if you promised to keep me. I would kill for you, Omi Shaw, and not think twice.”

I don’t care about any of this babble… wait til billionaires spend $400 million on research and beta tests to go live on Mars for $100 grand and realize how much they paid to die in a bunch of red space dunes eating terraformed lettuce for their last meal on death row. Once you’re like a year away from Earth no return, hope it was worth it. Lack of societal empathy??? Rich people want to literally abandon an overpopulated, financially doomed planet they fucked up by hoarding too much money instead of helping rework society into a functional, well-balanced system. I have ZERO interest in their survival if they can’t give away their wealth and just live happily with no complaints on 5-10 million dollars not working for the rest of their lives. You’re just a selfish soulless succubus if you’re doing nothing to help the entire population with billions of dollars at your disposal. Most of the world population in poverty is making 3k/yr. They live places with no running water, sacks of rice, and mix that with whatever meat they hunt. And you wanna complain about not having a billion instead of a million? I can’t even pay attention to your existence anymore. There is absolutely no way you’re going to realistically colonize Mars and set up shop there in a decade. It doesn’t naturally sustain human life, anything you infect the planet with will have huge repercussions on its ecosystem, and sending humanity there will change the physical weight of the entire planet and fuck up the gravitational fields between all of the planets and probably kill both planet’s life forms when you shift either too far away or too close to the sun. So good luck with that.

this is probably the best take I’ve heard so far on the debate of people being told that they aren’t having enough ‘compassion’ for billionaires making bad decisions and paying the obvious consequences for it

i’ve been out of here for 4 days and now you’re famous? congrats bestie!!! also have we figured out who cloe etc is about?

hi! wouldn't describe myself as famous but we have a lot more friends here and i'm having a lot of fun! as for cososom, fandom at large hasn't discussed it much (i say this because oftentimes i think one thing and then it becomes a bigger discussion with more viewpoints being shared and i change my mind) but i think it's about joelliam 😶
