#i love repression

[scullysflannel]

Just watched Elegy, great episode..the conversation at the end is brilliant in its restraint as always but I can't help but be a little angry at mulder here, not just in his hypocrisy (he's literally lying about the ova in that moment) but I can't help but think of Paper Hearts and how very present she was there for him and yet here, she is in her car crying alone, has to be one of the most upsetting moments for me so far..obviously scullys isolation is more her fault than anyone's but she deserved a kinder response here..sorry for the rant lol

what is the kind response in this situation? maybe calling her out is a type of kindness too, even if it's hypocritical. my default position when Mulder isn't as attentive to Scully as he could be is that it's a sign of respect for her. it's misguided, but he means well. he wants to let her have her pride. what I love about the Mulder and Scully story in Elegy (I'm ignoring the case) is that they're both still clinging to their usual coping mechanisms — Scully to her stubborn independence and Mulder to not prying — but they're breaking down. Scully is putting herself (and Mulder) at risk by not telling him what she saw, and Mulder is leaving her to fall apart on her own because he can't figure out when she needs him. obviously I hope he's at her door to apologize five minutes after she gets home. but I think being honest with her is a sign of respect too, because he's admitting that dancing around the issues isn't working. it rules that their big conversation about how they need to have an honest conversation is so restrained that they're still sort of dancing around it, and the fact that Mulder can't even admit what he's actively hiding from her is rich, but the feelings are raw enough to get the point across. they're both so scared. nothing else matters to him. he needs her to know that she shouldn't just tell him what she thinks he wants to hear, and ultimately I think Scully gets more out of hearing that than she would out of some blanket display of sympathy. but again I hope he's making her tea by the end of the night.

it's SO funny that when asked what he had to do to prepare for his role in IWTV Sam Reid says he had to learn how to play the piano, learn to speak French, Italian, and English with a French accent. Bailey read IWTV religiously and added her own comments, and kept an actual fucking journal she wrote entirely as Claudia. meanwhile Jacob Anderson, when asked the same question, just responds with “oh nothing, i was already emo”. icons and legends only

Sorry if some of these overlap a little/if I left out something obvious kajbdsjkd I tried my best haha. And that's why there's an "other" option!

"Bruce is terrible at communicating to his kids that they are family instead of a job, that he's their father and not their boss, and that he views them as his children, not just his wards-" BITCH where do you think he LEARNED that from

[shebsart]

I really think if Cas saw the way Dean grieves him when he dies it would entirley change his perspective on the way Dean feels about him.

So I'm watching one piece, and the episode with Zoro's tragic backstory made me realize that he didn't really seem to realize how important Kuina was to him until after she had died. And then it occured to me that it's probably the same with Sanji. So he's spent all this time in this rivalry with this guy, constantly fighting together, pushing each other to be better, and he just...never realizes how similar it is to what he had with Kuina.

And then the time skip happens, but since he's away from the whole crew and he's fighting someone else, he doesn't realize anything about Sanji specifically. And then Whole Cake and the wedding. And he's like 'yeah, sure. Cook thinks that's what he wants, let him go.' And he thinks he's fine without him.

Except meals are different. They're fine. But they're different, and he can't figure out exactly why.

Except when he eventually finds his way to the kitchen, there's no onigiri waiting for him as a snack while he's on watch. Except there's no one to gripe about him sneaking alcohol even as he unlocks the cupboard for him. Except when he practices his swordfighting with any of the Heart pirates, they don't already know all his moves. Except they're afraid to taunt him if he slips up. Except they can't even tell when he slips up. Except when he tries to pick a fight with anyone because he's bored, the Heart pirates don't know what to do with that, or Usopp will start to freak out or Robin and Franky just won't rise to his bait.

And then he remembers Koshirou telling him that he pushed Kuina to be better.

And he realizes that's what Sanji is to him.

And it's fine. It's fine. Luffy will bring the Cook back, and everything will go back to normal. Except Nami was really freaked out by Sanji leaving. Except what if he really does get married? Except what if he doesn't really come back? And Zoro just doesn't think he can go through that again.

But of course Sanji does come back and he's different and he's trying to pretend he's the same. And now Zoro knows. And he's got all of these feelings that he's suddenly become aware of, except he still has a negative amount of emotional intelligence, so he's still just picking all these stupid fights because he doesn't know what else to do.

And everybody else is like 'well, Sanji's back, and everything's the same' and Zoro's the only one going 'No! everything has changed!' because he's still the only one aware of his feelings, and he just...doesn't know what to do with them?
