But her speacialties are art, music, fashion, history & film. She speaks her mind but only when she needs to. She can handle her temper. She is never seen unkempt & is effortlessly stylish. She takes care of herself, by eating well, working out & having good skin. Like a mix of Cher from clueless and Moesha.

parting shot

With this tag game, I want to know the answers to these five (5) questions and then tag 5 or more mutuals. Wasn’t tagged but want to join? Join in ! Everyone is an essential part of this fandom! Name from @ agent.of.shield_ on Instagram ( @agents-of-fangirling ) who had a great idea to post a picture of yourself with a drink (or just a drink) and tag it #partingshot as a finale goodbye to the show (which I also am going to post tomorrow on IG).

I was tagged by my amazing IRL and tumblr friend @aleksandrachaev. Your response made me cry so here I go probably through tears. 

Where were you in life when you first started to watching AoS?

This is an interesting one, I remember in my AP Lang class in high school people were talking about this show, complaining I believe about a plot line with Mike Peterson, and told me I should definitely give it a watch. I think I watched the first three or so episodes, was not super hooked ( I also had a lot going on at this time) fast forward about 1.5 years and I start undergrad, and roomed with the one and only @aleksandrachaev. Boy did U CHANGE MY LIFE GIRL. I was already involved in other fandoms, but not to the degree I would eventually get involved with in SHiELD. So after pestering, we got stuck on a ten hour train ride home for winter break, low and behold she has the first season and we BINGE. It was over for me. I believe i CAUGHT UP OVER BREAK. yeah. craziness. I do believe when we watched FZZT on that train that I fell for two crazy smart, amazing, loving scientists, who would be constants in my life for a long long time.   

Were are you now?

Well I graduated from college with a degree in Cell and Developmental Biology (and half a minor in statistical science but thats a story for another time) and now I am in MEDICAL SCHOOL half way across the country. Honestly SHIELD had been a HUGE constant in my journey to get to where I am today. Weather it was getting through the insane pre-recs, studing for the MCAT, I forced myself to set aside time to watch the show weekly, to meet up with my friends. Honestly it probably kept me sane in some ways. Making sure I took time for myself. This show has seen me through so much, and I have grown so much. This show also really delved me into the world of Meta’s, fanfic, and fandom in a way I never had before. i am not ready to say goodbye to the show, and I am so grateful for the amazing friendships that have developed from this both IRL and online. 

What character development arc (or storyline in general) did you love the most?

HAHAHA, have you seen my blog? FITZSIMMONSSSSSS!!!

The loves of my life my babies.... AHH. Going from socially awkward nerds who barely knew what to do out of the comfort of their lab, to the amazing badass leaders they are now both of them have gone through SO much. Honestly the arc for them that stands out most to me was probably season 6, finding fitz was a big deal and I honestly thought it was pretty well done. As much as I hate not seeing them together, I did appreciate how we got to see Jemma come into her own more (honestly Jemma as a character in general means so much to me as a woman in science). I don’t think I can really articulate how much their story has meant to me over the years, to watch them use their intelligence as both a weapon and to help those around them. It was everything. 

I guess in conclusion to me their story both individually and together overall is just my absolute favorite. To watch them gain strength together, but also individually, its just *chefs kiss*.  (please let them get a break writers, PLEASE LET THEM REST THEY HAVE BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH OK)

What will you miss the most?

God, don’t even ask that. Every single aspect. Face timing my friends to watch the episode together every week, freaking out with my group chat over what we think is going to happen next after every episode. Reading the AMAZING spec fics and fan-fiction that come out at the end of every ep, and during those oh so long hiatuses. But really this show has really given me SO much happiness and has been my safe place throughout so much change in my life, and I am going to miss that feeling, when a new promo drops, theres new pictures, insta video, CONTENT, and I just start losing it. yeah that. 

Favorite quote?

Oh gosh, hmmmm 

“Science Biatch” and “Its Doctor” to be my basic FS self! (there are many others I am completely blanking on rn yikes) 

The people I tag: Honestly anyone that wants to and hasn’t yet! I want to hear your story! <3

My Struggle III and many more...

*Clicking on links will take you to the original posting of the video/article/tweet… X marks the posting of linked content on Tumblr. It takes you to the post of the Tumblrino who posted it here.*

Okay, I’ll try to do a weekly summary for each episode...we will see how it goes. So let’s see what we have here: Press releases, reviews and of course the premiere of Season 11. It is one hella long list, so loots of stuff is under the cut🙈

The promo of the new season started with the news of David appearing at Jimmy Kimmel. (X) EW announced a special 25th-anniversary, Ultimate Guide to Every Season & Film, being released 5th January. ENews published a short interview with Gillian and David, from the set of The X-files and TV Guide Magazine published a new photo of Mulder and Scully #Shouldertouching! Next was announced that Gillian will be at the late late show with James Corden, 9th January and we got a picture of David jamming with the band when Brick wished everyone a happy new year! (X)  Chris Carter did a Reddit AMA, but this is something I don’t wanna talk about. He is a moron. *For all upcoming events, @justholdinghandsok has a calendar running with all the info!*

The night of My Struggle III was off to a good start, @gillianaofficial posting: Gangs all here! Tonight at 8/7c @FOXTV . 👽  Fox released a new promo just before the Premier, in which, we could see Dana Scully in bed, with bare shoulders...and as this is The X-Files fandom, for us it is an absolutely good reason to loos our minds!! So yeah, we were in a happy place😂😂 But  Chris Carter was true to himself, did give us a critically claimed bad episode with a twist that was disgusting and controversial at the very least. The fandom exploded, the media was loud, but we did get one thing that was promised to us.; a lot of MSR scenes and Willaim discussions with Gillian and David more at ease. For more, below are the reviews and press releases.

(20)16 Dating Milestones

December 21, 2016

We all know the traditional "milestones" of dating a new person, whether you've 'achieved' them... or not. There's meeting the friends, meeting the fam (OMG - have you ever?!), spending the holidays together, having a song or inside jokes, and of course there are all the firsts, like first kiss, first trip, first 'I love you.'

But 2016 presents a very different relationship landscape thanks to technology, commitment issues (just me?) and hookup culture. It used to mean something to be "in a relationship" on Facebook, but things are so much more complex these days.

These are some of the (20)16 Dating Milestones I've been thinking about lately:

Telling each other your last names: in the Age of Google, if you're anything like me, this is like giving someone your resume, family tree, scrapbooks, diary and embarrassing college spring break photos all rolled into one.

Not being nervous to text - first or at all: you like them and they like you and at this point it'd be hard to freak each other out. You get excited when they text and you reply with an inside joke or stupid picture that they'll appreciate. You can be honest and vulnerable with each other and you both respond in a timely and respective manner. No games.

Making plans..: this isn't new to 2016, but it's a bigger deal in light of the 'state of the date'. No one makes plans anymore, or if they do it's just to "grab drinks around 9ish" and then you pick a spot like 20 minutes before. When someone makes plans with specifics - in advance - with times and locations, it feels romantic and refreshing and meaningful.

...And sticking to them: everyone's a flake! It's ca-ca-crazy to meet someone who doesn't cancel the day - or hour - before.

Hanging out sober: in a dating world of "grabbing drinks," NOT grabbing drinks and enjoying each other's company sober is landmark.

Hanging out when the sun is shining (not just because you woke up together): in today's hookup culture, spending an 'innocent' morning or afternoon together is a sweet little milestone!

Two dates in one week: not just booty calls, but like actual dates in public. Side note: the dating world is so chaotic that in the past I used to see multiple guys in one week, making my dates with each guy a more weekly basis, instead of multiple dates in one week with one guy. When you're casually dating, there's this sense of "don't waste any time! on to the next!" versus when you like someone and it's more like "don't waste any time MUST SEE U HI WHEN R U FREE AGAIN"

Three dates in one week: OMG wut lolz

Spending an entire weekend together, on accident: suddenly it's Monday and you're like wait we only had plans for Friday night and we've been together every second since, what is actually happening but also I don't hate this and I'm not tired of you??

Binge watching a show together: no, not "Netflix and Chill" but like actually watching a season or two of show together from beginning to end within a day or two.

Spending a "random holiday" together: traditional holidays are a known milestone, but choosing to spend a day off together like LABOR DAY or something more misc. than the obvious Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year's is an intentional choice about how you each want to spend your time, and that speaks volumes.

First Snapchat together: whether or not the crush snaps, blasting your followers with a selfie together in flower crowns means something in this day and age. It tells all the crushes that follow you, "you snooze, you lose."

Introducing them to your friends... on social media: beyond Facebook's "in a relationship," and after the fleeting Snap selfie, these days it's really all about the Insta pic. There's the first pic. Will you tag them? What do you caption it even?? Then there's the frequency. Are you the person who posts every other day about how much you LUV UR NEW BOY? Or are you chill and mysterious??? So many decisions.

NOT stalking them on social media: because you tell each other things about your past and show each other old pictures in your phone or on your Facebooks laying next to each other on the couch. **Stalking not required.**

Ending things with flings: and not just ghosting them when you like one guy more than the other. Actually saying, "hey, I've had so much fun but I'm seeing someone, thanks for understanding and best of luck!!!" In a world full of serial daters all looking for the next best person, this is HUGE.

Deleting your dating profiles: not just the apps (to re-download when you think you'll break up), but like the actual profiles. It's the promise ring of the modern day, really.
