mulder not owning a bed is such a minor character detail that’s encompassing of practically the entirety of who he is, which is so crazy honestly
#chris carter’s faustian deal etc etc#he does not ever stop he does not ever rest he does not ever sleep#he does not allow himself a moment’s comfort or affection or softness#and the thing is that you don’t even know he doesn’t have a bed at first#you just kind of notice that you never see him sleep#unless it’s on the couch in his clothes with the tv on#but then they kind of poke fun at it#like van blundt’s ‘where do i SLEEP?’ in his apartment#and the first ever peek into his bedroom in s6#that he does have one#it’s just stacked floor to ceiling with boxes#and it's so strange and unusual that it stands out in a way that makes you HAVE to clock these things about him#that he usually can try to hide in a well placed joke or reassuring smile#behind a shut door when there are lamps and blankets and framed artwork in the main room#he’s so outwardly kind and gentle that you don’t see it at first#the extent of how self-punishing and driven mad with guilt he is#until the show opens a door and almost points and laughs
