The number of times I have seethed and yelled “I am gonna kill this son-of-a-bitch” or “you motherfucker” or “selfish bastard this is all your fault” at Mulder while reading prufrockslove’s fics. Right now I’m at Dr. Scully's School for Exceptional Boys. When a fifty-something still exudes the same angst and self-centred blindness as a fifteen-year-old I just want to slap him until he comes to his senses. I also want to hug Scully and sucker punch anyone who’d hurt her whether physically or emotionally (yes, including Mulder) because that woman has been Through It All and sacrificed everything, including herself. I’m only in the first part, but it pisses me off that he has the chance to live the life she wanted with their son, meanwhile she’s forced to stay away. God, women can never catch a break.

#the x files #msr #mulder and scully #mulder x scully #dana scully #fox mulder #obviously I’m biased bec dana is my favorite but Mulder really comes off as an ass #also is prufrockslove a man because the mulder povs includes an unsubtle amount of casual unintentional sexism #so well written but a part of me feels uncomfortable I dunno why #arizona highways explored the subject of scully being a mother forced to let go in a way only a woman understands #so reading this from the man’s pov is interesting but also infuriating #characterizing scully’s decision as abandoning their child makes me want to drop kick someone
