They're recreating something that happened on a mission. Gojo is invested. Fushiguro? Lightly shaken.

okay i'm gonna try this again because i think i can say it better:

my post about mulder wasn't to say he's perfect or literally never done anything wrong or to hurt scully. i'm a mulder apologist to the extreme (scully too if you haven't noticed), but that isn't what i was doing.

mulder isn't doing it *to* her. he's doing what he does, he's working, he's following a path simultaneously set out for him & that he forged. he isn't intentionally doing anything to her, and he isn't being thoughtless or an asshole. that's so extremely reductive to me. yes i keep referencing trauma, because this fandom talks endlessly about scully's and dismisses mulder's. (all that the path to hell is paved with good intentions.)

but mainly what i'm talking about is that he's not responsible for her abduction, cancer, emily, melissa, etc etc. like i stated in the post. and somehow, he's still getting blamed for these things? as if it isn't the fault of aliens & the conspiracy of men & csm. literally everyone except mulder because he did not have a hand in it, he did not orchestrate any of it. a lot of the things scully goes through is because of these men who think they're gods, who have too much money & too much power. and the other chunk of it is the dangers of their job. which scully is aware of and she still chose then fbi. it's literally at the core of why she chose it, even if it takes her time to figure it out.

mulder does a lot because of his trauma & because he wants to believe, and it's all stepped in love. the alternative to not believing is terrifying for him — the way believing is terrifying for scully. they are so similar, but still fundamentally different. their approaches, their childhoods, their perspectives, what they cling to. they both deal with their trauma in different ways, and one very similar way: diving into work, using it to bury what they can't yet face or deal with, or bring into the light (each other).

anytime i talk about trauma, i don't mean "every single thing he did was perfectly okay because trauma" — i just mean people need room to figure that out and it isn't something he does *to* her. @actual-changeling said it pretty well here. intentions don't erase hurt but he's never tried to hurt her, and she's never tried to hurt him. it doesn't mean it didn't hurt them and of course that's valid. but it still isn't even what i was talking about. but i guess i'm going to anyway.

a huge part of their relationship is learning to communicate clearly & openly. people aren't just born knowing how to do it, and certainly not people with their history. this is how you heal & grow. (yes therapy can help, but it's extremely hard to do alone. because healing in relationship, in my opinion, is the most effective way. someone who will stick around for the hard parts, work with you through trial & error. loving you through your mistakes & struggles, as you're learning/unlearning. and it goes both ways.)

mulder carries guilt for things that aren't his fault (as does scully). i understand talking about it in this respect, but that isn't what i see very often. it's how horrible he is for what he does to her & puts her through. when most of what happens to scully is because of the job & csm & the syndicate. scully understood the dangers of her job. in irresistible, she tells karen kosseff she's aware there's predators in the world, it's her job to bring justice to these people and she needs to believe she's capable. she couldn't open up to mulder in that way yet, so she dealt with it in her own way. (she does this with her family too, she's the strong one.) later in the cancer arc, she admits to karen kosseff that she relies on mulder & his strength — but the only way she opened up emotionally, with true vulnerability, was in the letters she wrote to him in a journal. that she intended him to have after her death. it takes her years to just call him and not hang up when she needs him, and really it happens in fits and starts and backpedaling. but they continuously try! mulder is always trying to let her know she can show him her vulnerability, that he's there to support her. and she does the same for him. there are times they're successful, usually at very trying times for them. where they do talk, they take physical comfort. they learn the ways the other will accept care.

in fire, mulder pushes scully away but he learns it's a way she cares for him. doctorly & physical. he touches her cheek in beyond the sea & firewalker. she touches his arm in squeeze, conduit, pusher. she runs face first into his chest in the pilot, he lifts her chin & hugs her in irresistible. scully covers him in a blanket and pulls his head to her shoulder in herronvolk when his mom is lying in a hospital, near death. they learned each other's minds, what comforts the other and what they will allow and it slowly expands. as does their verbal communication.

i don't mean that his actions don't affect her, but it takes mulder a long time to really understand it because scully does not communicate her feelings, wants, needs. that's something that takes her a long time. there are ways they've both communicated these kinds of things that the other wasn't able to understand, or maybe didn't take seriously because of the circumstances. syzygy, never again, elegy, fight the future, triangle, dreamland, one son. it's why, to me, it's important leonard betts comes after never again. in never again they struggle to communicate, they're not on the same page. the choose silence instead of talking about it. but in leonard betts, he helps her dig through body parts without question. he tells her she did a good job, she should be proud. he didn't get it in never again, but he started to and he did something about it. there are many ways to take responsibility and changed actions, voicing things that matter, that the other person should hear is part of it.

sometimes i just think people are very unforgiving of mulder's struggle, the way he is because of his trauma. and he always does something wrong that's talked about almost like it's unforgivable when that isn't true. even if he was selfish in the cancer arc, he's helpless watching the person he loves most die "because" of him. someone who deserves answers & the truth as much as he does.

it upsets me because it's one of the most realistic & human things about them. it's one of the things handled so beautifully in this show. it's often so raw, the depth of connection & effort & patience & love. despairing yet full of hope & wonder. it so often robs scully of the little agency she does have. it feels dismissive to only focus on scully's. to ignore every step they take together & apart, the ways they change each other, the way they forgive each other everything because they have this intrinsic understanding.

scully's entire arc is difficult to watch, but so much of it is true to the reality of what women experience. yes it's a lot, but it's a tv show. and a scifi horror drama one at that. do they textually cover every single thing? no, but a lot of it is weaved into their cases (kaddish is always a standout to me) and the acting (which if you believe ga, comes across so well in the script she's able to grasp the cancer arc through them alone, not having experience with it herself). there is so much meaning in everything on this show.

the x files is about love because everything mulder (and scully) does is about love, comes from love. and people don't always love perfectly or well. and everyone understands the world & love differently. something else i think is incredibly poignant about their relationship. they keep learning each other until their way of loving completely merges on the foundation of their trust & faith in each other.

I really need kids in this fandom (why is it always specifically 16 and 17 year olds too im tired) to stop reblogging of making smut or NSFW posts, it is literally 1. Illegal for you and 2. Illegal and considered exploitative material for any adult that reads it. You are putting yourself at risk of being groomed into a vulnerable state and you are putting others at risk as well for accidentally reading sexual content made by a child!! Fucking think about that before you decide to be selfish because you think youre so much better!! Youre not. And your lack of responsibility proves your immaturity. Be fucking patient, dont post that shit online.

hey Ennie, how's editing going?

well, I have a post with pics. just one. still trying to decide an order; thought I could do a 'same time' deal in a post but it turns out I can't (stupid limit)

and also trying to come up with the names. I dont think I can avoid naming the last part; it's like a "gee, wonder what happens here? 🤔". self-explanatory.

It's so fucking frustrating when other leftists will try to frame gender critical feminism (ie feminism critical of gender, a social system) as cult-like.

Like actually no! It's the opposite! When the queer orthodoxy has gotten to the point of outright sex denialism, and every single person who says, "Wait a minute. How does that make sense? Our sex actually does have a huge impact on our lives!" is called a TERF? TERF doesn't mean anything at that point. The world is not separated into "people that agree with you" and "bigots."

Everyone who doesn't mindlessly agree with the tucute "gender means whatever it means to the individual!" Anyone who instead wants to analyze gender as a social system, is not in a cult. Any feminist that sheds herself of this brainwashing is, in fact, escaping the cult mentality.

The group of feminists who disagree with you on what gender *is* is not in the cult. If you're using thought-stopping techniques to stop yourself from questioning or thinking critically, that is a sign that you are the one in the cult.

hii! sorry i didn't specify, yes a drabble would be just fine :) (if it's okay, romantic relationship between the caregiver & little !! aswell as no "daddy", dada is preferred & if little gender needs to be specific, nonbinary femme they/them would be nice :)) and as far as hypoglycemia goes it's just low blood sugar without diabetes, i have it myself, basically when your blood sugar drops, you'll break out into a sweat, get fatigued and dizzy, shaky etc till you get fed anything with a high sugar content to get it up so like just a little drabble of little readers sugar dropping while they're regressed and colby helping get it back up would be really nice!, I hope this clears everything up !! -- (prev ask sender)

Ok! I hope this is what you were hoping for :)

Disclaimer! I don't have hypoglycaemia and haven't seen villians of valley view so this is written off of a lot of research but not lived experience

Title: juiceboxes and cookies

Word count:

Cg! Colby Madden

Little! Reader

Tw: health issues, low blood sugar

Plot: readers get low blood sugar. Colby helps to correct it

"Guess who?" You hear a voice behind you and a pair of hands cover your face.

"Dada!" You reply, the presence of your boyfriend, best friend and caregiver pushing you into littlespace that you'd been teetering on all day.

"Hi sunshine" Colby replies, not skipping a beat and matching your energy. He spins you around and pulls you into his arms for a warm hug.

His smile quickly fades into a frown as he registers the sweat coating your body and the subtle shaking as you relax against him. Colby pulls back to get a look at your face, noting the pale, sickly tinge to it and the bags under your eyes.

He quickly fixes his expression, putting on a happy face to not freak you out. He squats down to your level, keeping your hands in his. "Hey Hun, are you ok?" Colby asks, eyes searching yours.

A keening noise escapes you as all the Bad™️ in your body hits you at once. He lets out a tut as he pulls you in for another hug, mind going through the list of what might be wrong and how he might be able to help.

"Have you eaten yet today?" He asks, eyes still searching for what's wrong and how he can fix it. When you shake your head after a moments consideration, Colby visibly relaxes. If it's just low blood sugar, he can fix it easy.

"Tell you what, I bet I can beat you to the kitchen." He jokes, trying to make it as fun as possible. And despite the fact that he has super speed and you're well... running like a toddler, you still "somehow" manage to beat him.

He effortlessly picks you up and pop you into your chair. He fusses over you for a moment before turning around and grabbing the things he needs.

He grabs a blood sugar reader first. "This is going to sting a little" he warns, even though you've done it a million times

He checks the reader. 50 mg/dl. It's a little low but nothing dangerous. He grabs a juice box and a cookie.

"Here sunny, drink the juice box and then you can have a cookie." He smiles, going to hand you the juice box. But as you go to grab it, he raises it above where you can reach. He does this a couple of times, each time revealing in your giggles before he hands you the juice box.

He keeps a careful eye on you as you slowly improve as your blood sugars rise. All is well again.

Genuinely completely baffled how tumblr not only partnered with AI model holders but also managed to fuck up in their own special way by just going STRAIGHT to data collection without even taking the time to consider that they were training from private fucking posts and unanswered asks like holy shit WHY

[hikiclawd]

i think what ive gathered from watching all of yall scramble to retract your support for certain people, sites, creators ect is that . a lot of yall just straight up plug your ears and ignore what marginalized (in most cases black) people have to say until you're just ever so slightly inconvenienced

oh noo :( you cant read your fanfics because most of the team running the site are zionists and that makes you uncomfy :(?

where was this discomfort while you scrolled past the dozens of bigoted writings and csem?
