#asks from danae

[benoitblanc]

thinking about how in the first twelve episodes of the x files dana scully is practically giddy about her job and smiles all the time and flirts with her partner and laughs unrestrainedly like a teenager, and then beyond the sea hits and her world falls apart and for the WHOLE REST OF THE SHOW she becomes this serious, emotionally closed off young woman who rarely smiles past a smirk and doesn't want to tell the people closest to her how much she's hurting. thinking thinking thinking

I’m imagining that the fairy saw Mary as a fellow single parent that was cool and thought ‘alright our kids are gonna be best friends and we’ll help each other raise them cause that’s what parents do’ so they’re just waiting patiently in the face realm for whenever Dana visits to feed her just like Mary feeds their kid fvdubvghv

I like to imagine that this is what Dana thinks is going on, and encourages her mother to seek out her future new husband

Unfortunately Mary has no idea how to explain the dangers of interacting with the good folk, especially since Fianna is the only fairy that Dana knows

Instead of letting Tim not be Robin, Bruce tries to woo and marry Jack Drake so they can have shared custody.

This is like the opposite of jenet/talia these two men would just make each other worse poor Tim if these two men teamed up there's no way he's ever going out as robin again

Can you Mountain Goats scry the Arclights please? (No rush if you're still doing the character asks)

ACTIVATING MY ABILITIES.....

III/Trey/Michael: WOOF really surprised how hard it was for me to dig up a good song for him?!? especially considering there's so many tmg songs invoking ancient civilizations... anyway hunting down the unreleased Scavenger Babies for our dear Michael, if only for this verse towards the end

"burn the things you have to burn/save all the people youre supposed to save" is making me absolutely BONKERS wrt this kiddo...WAAUGH

IV/Quattro/Thomas: Michael Myers Resplendent and it isn't even a contest--creepy movie slasher vibes, the fact it's about a building catching on fire and a girl caught inside, something something in there about celebrity and starpower too. Just the perfect song for him imo.

V/Quinton/Christopher: ok so i suppose you could maybe read this as a song for the other Arclights too, but since I'm eternally very fascinated/in some state of mild horror with Chris and Vetrix's dynamic I gotta go with Cao Dai Blowout. Especially through this read of Vextrix/Tron being a sort of 'ghost' of Byron, and that combined with how Chris is like. The Brother Who Manages Their Fucked Up Dad...it makes my stomach hurt. slash pos

[Bonus for all three of the Arclight Bros but I gotta pop a shout out to Up the Wolves in there too. Family struggles but we make it out the other side song of all time + the Roman invocations happening here.... fits them u__u Big Arclight Brothers Event for me.]

and also Tron/Vetrix/Byron moment: gotta be Wild Sage--in JD's own words this is a song about the speaker going insane, and a lot of the language in it really feels like it correlates well with Byron in his "stuck between dimensions/getting his brain melted in Barian world/falling back out into Earth completely and uttered Fucked Up Bad" era

also "and some days i dont miss my family/and some days i do" oh just hit me with a bus, man

An interview with Heloïse Bourdon and Mathieu Ganio on all things Mayerling.

[bustafe]

my dash has a message for you for getting shadowed

SCREAMMM

[television-overload]

That MeetCutesNYC Instagram account except it's Mulder and Scully during early season 11 when they're kiiiiinda on the verge of getting back together and they get stopped and asked "Excuse me, are you two a couple?" And Scully's like "Uuuuuuuhhhhhhhh" and Mulder just enthusiastically jumps in and says "YES!" cause he totally follows this page on social media and wants his 15 minutes of fame (and to brag about Scully in public)

Interviewer: "Would you mind telling me the story of how you guys met?"

Mulder, like a kid on Christmas: "She was sent to SPY on me!"

Scully, embarrassed in the background: "That is NOT true, Mulder."

Mulder, dragging her into frame of the camera: "It so is, buckle up, this is a crazy story."

Scully, unenthusiastically: "I was assigned to be his partner at the FBI."

Mulder: "We investigated unsolved and unexplained cases often involving supernatural or extraterrestrial forces--"

Interviewer: "Like aliens?"

Scully: "Mulder--"

Mulder: "Yes! Exactly."

Interviewer: "Wow, okay. So, what was your first impression of her when you first met?"

Mulder, grabbing Scully's hand and swinging it back and forth: "Suspicious."

*arched eyebrow from Scully*

Mulder: "Suspiciously hot for a forensic pathologist."

*second eyebrow arch*

Mulder: "And she was crazy smart. I read her graduate thesis rewriting Einstein and thought 'Who is this chick?'"

*severe eye roll*

Interviewer: "And you? What was your first impression of him?"

Scully: *unintelligible*

Mulder: "I'm sorry, what's that babe?"

Scully, with a huff: "He looked cute in glasses. And had nice hair."

Mulder, shaking his head: "Tsk tsk tsk, so superficial, Scully. It wasn't that I was spooky?"

*patented Scully Look™*

Interviewer: "And how long ago was this?"

*looking at each other*

Mulder: "Let's see, 1993, so--"

Scully: "25 years."

Mulder, hugging Scully to his side: "25 years. We were both stupid though, so it wasn't until 7 years later that we finally stopped pretending we were just coworkers and friends."

Interviewer: "What's your advice after 25 years of friendship?"

Mulder: "Stay far, far away from any global conspiracies."

Scully: "That's not funny, Mulder."

Mulder: "But it's sound advice! Fine. Find someone you'd go to the ends of the earth for, I'm talking Antarctica. Don't let anything else get in the way."

Interviewer: "Nice. And you?"

Scully, looking at Mulder: "You have to believe in each other. Whatever happens, you face it together. And don't wait 7 years to tell a person you love them."

*they share a look*

Interviewer: "Well, thanks for answering our questions! What are your names?"

Mulder: "Mulder."

Scully, tucking her arm into his: "Fox Mulder."

Mulder: "And she's Scully."

Scully: "Dana."

*they walk off together, arm in arm*

you are watching mythic quest season 3. i am watching the mythic quest season in my mind where cws death has an actual effect on most of the characters that prompts their development. we are not the same

[carefulfears]

top five annoying mulder moments <3

okay, i have two lists for you: annoying moments that i find endearing, and annoying moments that make me want to beat him over the head with a chair

annoying moments that i find endearing:

(as of today, these could all be different tomorrow)

1/ "you mean i might get my 29.95 worth after all?" (731)

insane thing to say with 6 minutes to live about the mail-order VHS tape that might save your life. the way he casually cracked jokes in front of that bomb haunts me. unfortunately, this joke made me laugh so hard when i first watched this episode, that it became a core memory of the show to me, and it's still one of my favorite lines

related: putting on a comedy show for the nazis in the pine bluff variant

"ooh, is this the pepsi challenge? how 'bout some fresh air, boys" "you can just call me a cab, that'd be fine" sir they are about to execute you in a field

2/ his general behavior with the neighbors in arcadia

not his behavior towards scully, that's a different thing. i'm talking about mulder showing up in a neighborhood that deeply values regulations and appearances, and dragging out his basketball hoop at 10:30 at night. kicking mailboxes. putting that plastic flamingo in the lawn.

he went undercover in this subdivision to investigate the disappearances of multiple missing families, and his entire investigative strategy, is to fuck around and find out.

the fact that the neighbors start off concerned for him, worried that the monster is going to kill him for violating the HOA rules, and trying to warn him and help him, but eventually are so irritated that they decide to just leave him to die

is without a doubt my favorite thing about this episode.

3/ running in front of a car (colony)

literally made eye contact with the driver and kept running into traffic....busted up that guy's whole windshield.....like he went THROUGH that guy's windshield.....once again, i say, do you have ANY IDEA HOW PISSED I WOULD BE to just be minding my own business driving home from work, and end up with a MULDER-SHAPED HOLE in my windshield.....and then he just mumbled something about getting the wind knocked out of him?? and got up and kept running?? you KNOW he didn't pay for that guy's car. used "i got hit by a car" as an excuse for not filing his report on time??? i love him but he is not serious people

4/ reading the articles in a porno mag at the office (the jersey devil)

the jersey devil my most beloved most watched episode ever....cannot even express to you how funny i find it that when scully got into work, he's just sitting there staring intently at porn and starts telling her about the articles. he turns the magazine so that she can see. kinda the funniest thing that he ever did.

+ scully's lil "workin hard, mulder?" and "sorry to interrupt your serious investigation" ...they're best friends

5/ "why don't you take that gun and shoot yourself in the head like you shot my father" (piper maru)

girl WHAAAAAATTTTT??

BONUS: all of his comments about religion (various episodes)

i put this one on the list and took it back off so many times but i have to speak my truth. every last one of them. i know they're mean and judgmental. i like it.

honorable mention: the mulder ditch™ (too many episodes in too many circumstances to make one of the lists but the way he constantly just leaves scully places deserves to be included. he literally has the object permanence of a 3-month old)

annoying moments that make me contemplate violence:

(only came up with 4 for now...but they're serious to me)

1/ "when he's old enough, tell the kid i went down swinging." (vienen)

me when i'm two weeks out of the grave and have purposefully endangered my ass on a boat full of killer alien goo and my idea of a funny sarcastic joke is to goad my partner into saving me by JOKING!!!! about her having to tell my baby that i'm DEAD!!!

what compelled him to say this. this is my "WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS" infographic mulder moment.

my favorite part is how scully doesn't even address it she just gives that kind of "jesus fucking christ" sigh and tells him to put doggett on the phone lol

2/ “all this because i didn’t get you a desk?” (never again)

literally god forbid a girl have an existential crisis in some FUCKING PEACEEEEE

3/ "diana saw it too. and no matter what you think, she's certainly not going to go around saying that just because science can't prove it, it isn't true." (the beginning)

lolololololol

listen, i defend him for the diana stuff, and i get it. i could write you a dissertation on the complications and emotions of it and why he says things like this or whatever. but it still annoys the ever-loving fucking hell out of me.

this one bothers me more than "scully, you're making this personal" because it's such a direct blow to the core of their dynamic and to what she tries to do for him. this comes so soon after he looked at her in the hallway and told her that her rationalism and science saved him.

which is a moment that meant so much to her and that she references in this same episode. she grabs his hand and she says "you told me that my science kept you honest. that it made you question your assumptions. that by it, i'd made you a whole person."

she has memorized everything that he's ever said and she heard him so deeply in that hallway. she stays so dedicated to offering that science and rationalism that she knows he needs, that she heard him say was best for him.

that moment in that hallway changed them for the rest of their lives, and this is when skepticism and belief start to morph from genuine ideology into roles that they play for each other.

she's doing her part, she's offering him her side, she's playing her role. and he throws it back in her face, says he'll just go play with diana then, because diana would never counter him with science.

LOLLLL okay then spooky, we'll fucking see if it's diana that comes to save your ass in the bermuda triangle

4/ "you act like you're surprised" (three words)

debated putting this one on here because everyone knows i loveeee three words and i loveeee s8 mulder and i'm obsessed with this scene, i've written multiple pieces about the fish in it, i wouldn't change a word of it

but i just have to because this is the other one that grates at me in the back of my head from time to time...because it's not that he doesn't think resurrection is surprising. it's not that he thinks it's a given that he'll always be around.

he just cannot hear and acknowledge how painful and difficult losing him was for her. because it would mean hearing and acknowledging that what he does matters, not because of what he can do or find, but because it matters that he's there. because it matters whether he lives or dies.

this episode is so heartbreakingly cruel in a way that they just aren't to each other, and that's what i love about it and what makes it stand out to me.

she's pregnant with his baby and she buried him. she was ripped off of his corpse screaming and she planned a funeral and decorated a nursery at the same time, alone. she sat in a hospital chair and held his hand for days when she knew he couldn't feel it.

for six months, he was gone. for three months, he wasn't ever coming back. that first day that they were looking for him, she teared up and whispered, "i just can't take the chance that i'm never gonna see him again," to skinner, and then she lived in a reality where she was never going to see him again. for three months.

she prayed and she prayed and she prayed and then she got to cry and laugh and hold onto him and take him home. and she tried to tell him, quietly, about the last six months. about how she doesn't think he could ever understand what it was like. about how she prayed, and about how her prayers "have been answered."

she told him how hard it was to learn he was missing, to search, to find him dead. "and now to have you back...," she smiled and said through tears.

"well, you act like you're surprised."

in less than 24 hours he is going to run towards death again and she is going to be left again with nothing to do but pray, and he cannot hear that it matters.

(y’all, remind me to do a post about mulder + humor in s8)

BONUS: referring to his mother's house as "the vineyard" (various episodes)

this one isn't that deep to me but "scully, i'm at the vineyard" just IRKS me like it gets on my NERVES. just an obnoxious ass thing to say
