how to say “I love you” in x-files [6/?] ⤷ 2.13 — “Irresistible”

I don't want him to know how much this is bothering me. I don't want him to feel like he has to protect me.

I love characters that think they can't allow themselves to love or be loved

just to have someone stride into their life to turn that concept upside down

[sforzesco]

something. about. the horror of being sent on an impossible (death) quest and obligations and hospitality politics. the trauma of not having a home, and then the trauma of being in a house that becomes actively hostile to you, one that would swallow you whole and spit out your bones if you step out of line. all of this is conditional, your existence continues to be something men want gone.

it's about going back as far as I can with the perseus narrative because there's always a version of a myth that exists behind the one that survives. the missing pieces are clearly defined, but the oldest recorded version of it isn't there! and there's probably something older before that!! but it's doomed to forever be an unfilled space, clearly defined by an outline of something that was there and continues to be there in it's absence.

and love. it's also about love. even when you had nothing, you had love.

on the opposite side of the spectrum, this is Not About Ovid Or Roman-Renaissance Reception, Depictions And Discourses On The Perseus Narrative.

edit: to add to the above, while it's not about Ovid, because I'm specifically trying to peel things back to the oldest version of this story, Ovid is fine. alterations on the Perseus myth that give more attention Medusa predate Ovid by several centuries. this comic is also not about those, either! there are many versions of this story from the ancient world. there is not one singular True or Better version, they're all saying something.

are you going to shoot me, mulder? is that how much this means to you?

[shitslikethis]

nothing cracks me up more than the jersey devil episode of x files. i cannot stop thinking about it literally ever. it’s the one time mulder is stone cold correct about everything he says but his evidence is like a stick figure babadook drawing he bought (!) off a homeless guy and a cartoon of a gorilla with big naturals. iconic tbh.

“Spontaneous human combustion?”

“Scully.”

Why did he say her name as if she just took all her clothes off unexpectedly.

“Dear diary, today my heart lept when Agent Scully suggested spontaneous human combustion.”

Uh huh buddy we noticed

Ok the main reason why Mulder’s Mulderness works (the infodumping, the ill timed dorky and raunchy jokes, etc) so well is that more than anything he wants to share them with Scully. He is always looking towards her and sharing things with her and asking her what she thinks. He makes bad jokes for her and puts on slideshow after slideshow for her— it’s not like he needs to do that for himself. And the first half of it, the foundation, is that he does like doing all of these things on his own and that’s where the genuineness comes from, yes, but he does all these things that make him him for her benefit. Because he wants to <33 I do not gaze at Scully my FOOT!

"Can we chat about – I don't know if Gabriel's gonna be somewhere mad at me for this, but I gotta point it out. Harvey's got a very, sort of, coquettish, pillow-hugging thing going on on the bed. [Sarah laughs.] Do you know in this scene, where he's putting it all together? Like, it's such an interesting take. Like, you'd – I don't know why, you'd think he'd kind of . . . be reclined, but instead he's on his . . . stomach, like holding a pillow. It's very . . . different. And I love it. But I definitely, I was like, "Huh! Harvey?""

a new ref for roy now that she's actually part of a story!! she smells like froot loops probably

[image description: a reference image for an original character named roy g. biv the great and colorful, a short, dark-skinned wizard with long, wavy, rainbow-colored hair and a beard that covers her entire body and a pointy hat with a fluffy white rim and a blue sky pattern. she also has a rainbow walking cane. next to her main reference drawing is a small drawing of her with her hair tied into a braid, allowing her body to be seen where she is wearing a blue sweater with a white skirt. next to her are blurbs that state that she is around 300 years old, her pronouns are she/her, she is a lesbian woman, and the following: "powerful wizard of color and whimsy. can't stand being serious. trying hard to be a good mentor to her student, violet, but gets fed up with them rather easily. formerly married to mona chrome." end id]
