Dana Scully: At least if we had a legitimate source...

Fox Mulder: This is the essence of science. You ask an impertinent question and you're on your way to a pertinent answer.

Hi, can you upload more videos of Aaliyah and Cruz? I don't know but for some reason their scenes aren't available in YT.

Hello! Someone actually did upload a compilation of Aaliyah x Cruz scenes on YouTube, but it was unfortunately removed due to copyright issues from Paramount+.

I’ll see what I can do. Might take time, so bear with me. I try to limit the duration of the videos because anything longer than, say, 3-4mins, the file is too large, and I try to avoid compromising the quality of the videos by compressing them.

Save this ask, should you like to, of course ☺️ I’ll link them all back here.

UPDATE | Complete list of Aaliyah x Cruz scenes:

1x01 First meeting

1x02 You have a bathing suit?

1x03 This is my friend Zara.

1x03 My great fantasy is to be ravaged on that beach.

1x04 Let’s swim back before the sharks get us.

1x04 I can make all that bruise go away.

1x05 New bathing suit. For making you the boys crazy.

1x06 I find you a dreamer with money (me).

1x06 I am the one who stands up for you.

1x06 For me to choose love would be the death of me.

1x06 First kiss

1x07 But there is a world inside the world.

1x07 But I do know a place. If you want me to take you there.

1x07 Just the “Come here” scene.

1x07 Look at me.

1x07 I think it’s worse to feel love just once.

1x08 You can see where I get my charm.

1x08 I bet that’s the last of New York I’ve seen for a while.

1x08 Just the “You’re gonna be pretty hard to forget” scene.

1x08 I just want to feel loved one last time.

juni's x files liveblog masterpost (s1-s3)

for those who love organization, you are in luck! here is a link to my thoughts on (almost) every single episode of the x files from seasons 1 through 3. i hope this is helpful for those who are new to my blog, want to relive certain moments, are watching along at their own pace, or any other sort of person who is interested. i'll be adding a link to this post to my pinned for convenience.

reminder that my first few thoughts were much shorter than my current ones, and they were posted on my main account. i even skipped note-taking on episode 2! i'll have to go back and rewatch someday. also, if an episode past the first few feels skipped over, it's probably because it featured content i felt uncomfy discussing in detail. you can read the post where i explained that choice here.

maybe you won't have to be mrs. spooky anymore

Squeeze is such an important episode for Scully. (And it's just a great episode in general! a truly classic motw) We've been talking a lot lately about Scully's autonomy and her decisions that led her down the path that she follows and I feel like Squeeze is a showcase of exactly that. Of how her decisions affect the narrative.

We start the episode with her listening to a colleague insult Mulder, completely unprovoked. They weren't even talking about Mulder. Colton asks her "How are you doing? Have you had any close encounters of the third kind?" He doesn't care how she's doing. He just wanted an excuse to bring up Mulder so that he could talk shit about him and then turn around to indirectly ask Scully to bring Mulder in to help on the case.

Scully wastes no time defending Mulder. I think it is very telling of someone's character when they stand up for people who aren't around to defend themselves. Scully certainly knows how it feels to be looked down on, especially as a woman in a male dominated field. Even though Colton asks for her help, it's obvious that he doesn't respect her the way that Mulder does. He even goes as far as to ask Scully to choose sides, to which she responds that she's on the victims side.

Ooooooh. That moment right there. It is a perfect example of why Scully chose to follow Mulder. They want the same thing. They want to catch bad guys. They want to help people. They want to find out the truth. She isn't throwing her life away, even though that's what her colleagues may see. She's choosing the path that she believes is right. This is the Dana Scully who chooses the side of the victim and stands up for her partner.

Another great moment is when Mulder says "you may not always agree with me but at least you respect the journey" This!!!! This boils down their relationship so perfectly. In the beginning, Scully disagrees with Mulder. A lot. But she's here for the exact same reason that he is. To find the truth. It reminds me of in season 6(?) when Mulder is defending Scully to Diana by saying the she makes him work for it. Yes yes yes. There's a great song by Tacocat called Dana Katherine Scully with the line "she wants to know what's out there, but she needs to know why". Scully doesn't take things at face value, but she doesn't belittle Mulder for what he believes. It's her scientific brain needing proof, and honestly, I think that's admirable. She wants to find proof not only for herself, but for the rest of the world. And for Mulder.

Mulder then tells Scully that if she wants to keep working with Colton, he won't hold it against her. He's not used to people sticking around. Scully was sent to spy on him. Of course he doesn't expect her to be in for the long haul. Her response is to follow him and say that she knows he has more evidence to back up his theory. She wants to find the truth! She's open to these possibilities even if they are kind of out there! She's following her orders to investigate(debunk) Mulder's claims of the paranormal with scientific evidence, and you bet your ass she's going to do it right! Scully and Mulder are on this journey for the same reason and by god she's gonna follow it to the end. She chooses to. It's her decision and no one else's. Maybe being Mrs. Spooky isn't such a bad thing.

Dana Katherine Scully ❤️

[that--funny--feeling]

Mulder's ideas might be a bit out there, but he's a great agent.

She tends to be rather rigid, but rigid in a wonderful way.

Mulder and Scully show their mutual respect in front of other people through the seasons.
