#this was my whole personality when I was like 9

[petite-madame]

After watching a random celebrity “What’s in Your Bag?” video, I got curious (or maybe just nosy, lol) and started asking everyone the same question. So, what’s in your bag? Or, if you’re not the type to carry one, what’s in your pockets?

Hi anon ^^

Thank you so much for your question, it's actually a pretty funny one! 🥳 Alright, I'm going to try to satisfy your curiosity by answering in detail.

First, my bag. At the moment, I often use one of these two:

1) Bag from Beara Beara London (Model: Lila)

2) Suede bag found on Vinted for 10€

And now, let's see what's inside the bag. I just emptied my bag on the floor and, as you can see, there's everything and anything. Here's a full picture and some close-ups:

1) Sunglasses. I think they are Prada knock-offs bought on eBay about 10-15 years ago maybe.

2) Hydroalcoholic gel, highly needed in Paris. It's hard to keep your hands clean in this city. 😶

3) First aid kit because I am THAT clumsy and wearing Dr Martens shoes even with big socks has a price (*ouch*)

4) An old pencil and a Funko Harley Queen ballpoint pen (I used it the other day at the bank to sign some documents, you should have seen the face of my banker 👁👄👁)

5) A small personalized case with the initials "P.M" engraved on it, for my lipstick (Rouge Baiser, L'Authentique Le Rouge n°405, if you are interested)

6) House keys with key rings that have witnessed WW2, it seems.

7) Medicine in case of vertigo episodes (Tanganil), we never know 😶

8) A cute brush hidden inside some compact mirror (from Pylones)

9) Wired earphones for my phone (I hate wireless earpods, I prefer the good old wired earphones)

10) A small bottle of perfume, personalized with the monogram "P.M", because I am that extra 🎀

11) My Navigo card (Paris transportation card) inside a Harry Potter card holder found on Aliexpress pour 4€ 🤓

12) Two chestnuts I found at a park last October-November. I still have them in my bag, I have no idea why.

13) Some old receipt from Monoprix (I bought a bottle of Coca Zero, apparently)

14) A card from a Dyptique shop with some perfume sprayed on it. I hate it, I've never understood the whole craze around this brand.

15) My phone, with a home made Liam and Noel Gallagher from Oasis phone case ✌

16) My Karl Lagerfeld wallet featuring Kaaaaarl and Choupette, France's most famous cat.

17) ANNNNNNND I was about to forget the most important thing when I took the picture above, my iPod Touch because yes, Little Miss Fossile Me is still listening to music on her iPod touch. No Apple music, no Spotify, like men, we ride at dawn, like in 2010. 🤓🤘

No book! I don't read in the means of transportation, it gives me headaches so I practically never bring a book or a Kindle with me.

Oh but wait, that's not my only bag, I also have this one for food! So:

1) Totoro lunch bag, present from my friend @vegetadaily 💗

2) Paris 2024 Olympics limited edition lunchbox featuring the one and only Phryge, the official mascot, I love her!

3) Hello Kitty bentô box (lunch box) bought in Japan in 2010

4) Burger-shaped lunch box, bought on Aliexpress, absolutely amazing 😁✨

Et voilà! As I told you, you really have everything and anything in my bag(s).

I hope I answered your question! Have a great day 💗

my favorite scully moments from s7

her friendship with amina ngebe in the first 2 episodes of the season - the honesty between them; talking both science and faith as they translated alien language together; their badass coordinated attack on barnes and the ensuing escape

(and bonus points for her friendship with that machete that she kept at her side at all times!!)

praying with albert in episode 2- waking up on her floor the next morning after begging long hours into the night (and eventually learning that he was never really there because he had already passed away… divine messengers really love to visit scully)

saving mulder when he was locked in the basement with a bunch of zombies in episode 4, coming in with her gun blazing and her excellent aim

scully feeling bad for the teenager tony who got roped into the murder case in episode 5, then gently explaining to mulder that teenagers changing is like, their whole thing 

saying “hot off the presses!” as she pins up and analyzes x rays and scans... lmaooo. nerd!

when they’re underground in episode 6, bickering about how that guy could have survived falling wayyy down there, she says “so... we’re looking for wile e. coyote?” and then quickly flashes her light into mulder’s eyes with a smile (and he giggles) (she was feeling silly) (and she is ALWAYS going to compare something to a cartoon, trust!)

she was DONE with that case: “so, here’s the plan as i see it: we inform the chicago field office about weems, leaving it to them to secure his testimony, you change your clothes, we fly back to DC by sunset, and all is right with the world” (which i love because 1. she is such a homebody, let her get back to that cute apartment! and 2. despite saying she wants to go home, she is still blatantly hitting on him, which i admire)

introducing herself as dana to the sick child who made his way onto the crime scene (GOD. it kills me when we get a “dana” out of her… when it is on her own terms… it is such a sharp contrast to that episode last season where she’s partnered with that horrible detective, and she tells him to call her “SCULLY”, and that the conversation is OVER… the duality of woman. stop me before i write a dissertation on how she uses her own name) 

she gets the kid away from the dead body and tucks him into bed, asking him about his favorite sports (she tells him that she likes baseball!), and she then gets excited about the contraption weems built him :,)

(later in the episode, she sits with the same boy in the hospital while he is dying - until there is a miraculous donor. something about her and those traveling between this life and the next...)

her dedication to staying on the pfaster case in episode 7 despite how it affects her, because she has to do the morally right thing: “mulder, that man does things to people that no one should ever have to think about. it’s not a question of if i should stay. i don’t have a choice” <- GOD, i could write an ESSAY on her need to do the correct thing at all costs, personal suffering be damned, because that is just What She Does and how she operates and the basis of her whole worldview

scully reviewing the camcorder footage in episode 8, finding the angry heckler in the background, and then his DNA on a soda cup… in her detective mode!!!

they’re investigating the snake church guy in episode 9 and they come across a bunch of empty cages… mulder says “don’t worry, they’re empty” and she realizes that is even MORE reason to worry, because if they aren’t in the cages, then where tf are the snakes?! queen of logic 

and the way she is very gentle with gracie, who was in such a difficult situation- kicked out of her culty church because she had gotten pregnant, and then her fiance died- scully tries to get her to think for herself, gently questioning her, and riding with her to the hospital

(but there is nothing gentle about the way she demands to know where gracie’s baby is- she had that gun LOADED)

scully making the connection in episode 10 between the very vague clues - the number 74, santa - and realizing it refers to the specific north pole village

the way she was hiding from the cameras at first in episode 12, yelling at them, covering the lens with her hand, kicking the camera guy out of their car… later, she tells all the cameramen hiding in the closet that she hates them, bahahaaaa

despite having earlier said she didn’t want to look like a fool on national TV, she defends mulder’s idea that wetzel was stung by some sort of insect- she starts to say it’s a ridiculous concept, but then sees the cameras in her face and corrects with “although… it was an understandable conclusion that i’m sure anybody would have made” and he SMILESSSSS

she was hiding in the back while mulder tried to talk steve and edy through their lover’s spat, looking SO incredibly tired, lmaooooo

when she can’t shake the cameras during the autopsy, she smiles and declares that “the FBI has nothing to hide” (meanwhile, she is trying so hard to not lose it on the assistant who was asking too many questions, and then handles her suddenly dropping dead very well)

when they go to the witchcraft shop in episode 14, the lady shows them a little guy and scully excitedly proclaims “a voodoo doll!”, but the lady shoots her down: “no, they’re called poppets”  <- poor thing, she was so excited! she wanted to prove she knew her occult vocab!

managing to shoot peattie despite being temporarily blind… yeah. talk about a sharpshooter. sheesh!

and then her wordless admission that she wonders if perhaps peattie really did have the power to save lives… she really does keep you guessing

coming in with tea for two during their stakeout in episode 16, then lounging about as she insults the suspect’s outfits

once mulder leaves to go on his own case, she calls him repeatedly to whine that she is cold and wants to go home, which escalates to “mulder, when you find me dead, my desiccated corpse propped up, staring lifelessly through the telescope, at drunken frat boys peeing and vomiting into the gutter, just know that my last thoughts were of you… and how i’d like to kill you” <- TELL HIM HOW YOU FEEL!!! 

(and when she solves her case, she happily declares that she can shower for 8 or 9 hours and sleep until spring <3)

when she first visits the taoist center and meets colleen in episode 17, she is all stressed out from the waterston situation and nearly hitting someone with her car, so she comes off rude- but she drives back the next day and apologizes, asking to learn more about what they do at the center, because she is fundamentally a kind and curious person 💗💗💗

and colleen makes them both tea- scully explains she is worried about a sick friend and admits to being biased, and colleen recounts her work as a physicist- how nearly dying prompted her to be open about her relationship with her girlfriend, how a healer helped her release shame- and points out that scully may be more open to the unknown than she thinks she is - “it’s just a matter of what you do with it” (GOD)

following the woman she nearly hit with her car until she finds herself in a temple, sitting before the buddha and experiencing a vision- and then bringing a healer to waterston, opening herself to extreme possibilities 

and when waterston wakes up and makes more of his signature nasty comments, asking what will happen between them, she tells him how she spoke with his daughter and it is time “you took responsibility for the hurt you caused in your family”... when he tries his “you’re all i live for” manipulation tactic, she replies “maybe the reason you’re alive right now is to make up for that” 

(GOD, the strength in that statement… after how he hurt her… i need to shake something up and down)

they are investigating mystery bugs in north carolina in episode 18, so she calls up an entomologist she happens to know in the area (i want to know the backstory on how they know each other and who else she knows in random academic positions SO badly!) (and scully looks so beautiful as she asks if this bug could be weird because of transgeomics)

refusing to let the surgeon cut mulder open because she knows it will kill him and instead deciding to wait- and then realizing that a high level of nicotine will save his life… medical doctor <3

(and when he has withdrawals, she refuses to let him light the cigarettes he bought)

in episode 19, she reveals her knowledge of tricks forgers use to make papers look old AND that she can read ancient greek!! how cool!!!

telling mulder the story of sister spooky from catholic school (and later he calls her that over the phone <3)

chatting with mulder on his couch as he watches plan 9 from outer space for the 42nd time: “maybe true faith is a form of insanity” “are you directing that at me?” “no! i’m directing it at myself. and at ed wood” <- oh my gosh... and this coming fresh off the heels of all things and her own wrestling with belief… god. i just LOVE it.

later, she tries to ease mulder’s worries about who will tell the stories of the dead: “i think the dead are beyond caring what people think about them. hopefully we can adopt the same attitude” (and she laughs!!)

having so much fun piecing together a theory from mulder’s clues in episode 20- when she gets it right, she yells “YES!” and claps her hands (later, she decides to play internet detective and pieces together the truth about lulu and betty’s father, which killed meeee)

when she walks into their office in episode 21, she sees someone is sitting at their desk, and so she points and mouths “who is that?”, which i thought was SO endearing

and then when she sees the guy’s scars from having a mouth carved into him, she gasps- but then really quickly plays it cool with a “nice to meet you”, because she is polite!!! dammit, not even a lack of mouth can stop her from trying to be polite!!!

(later, she launches into medical reasons to try and explain the man’s mouth-less condition, even if they are all quite implausible)

when the agents knock on the door, leslie starts explaining that this isn’t their boat, it belongs to someone who pays the taxes, to which she replies “oooookay”, lmaooo

and when they go investigate the storage unit, she is surprised by how nice and expensive the furniture inside is. i NEED to see her queen out over interior design!!!

she is SOOOOO excited to discover an invisible corpse- smiling and laughing; refusing to leave it; taking a million pictures; talking about how important it will be for science while she is covered in that yellow powder... and then when she has to finally depart from the body, she tells it goodbye (!!!)

when she hears the genie might be… well, a genie, she asks if she was a witness to 500 years of human history, because she is a nerd

then she declares that the genie is free to go- it isn’t like they can arrest her for anything!

she asks the genie to give her and mulder a minute to talk in private, and she takes her sweet time to move along, so scully whips around and asks “like, today?” <- bahahaaa

but then she explains her theory to him that their whole lives are about making the world a better place, and it isn’t something that should be circumnavigated with a wish, because she is wise

when they return to oregon in episode 22, she has a big smile on her face as she recalls mulder painting the x on the ground where they first lost time <3

and last but certainly not least, her conversation in the hospital with skinner- how she tells him he already knows when he can’t get out the words that mulder is gone; she is so confident they will find him because they have to…

and then she calls skinner back before he can leave, tears still in her eyes, asking him to keep it to himself- she can’t explain it or believe it- but she’s pregnant. and she smiles.

hi heres art so you pay attention to me now go read the tags

[padfootastic]

i am so tired of female characters being inherently written as ‘terrifying’ or ‘scary’ w no respect to their characterisation.

for one, it feels so fake. i know so many women irl (i am one!!!) and there are very few, of any, that i would categorise as ‘scary as is’. heck, even if we go by tempers—the numbers just don’t match.

but somehow in fics, every single woman is a terrifying force of nature bc that’s…somehow…the only way we can think of women? idk?

and also just, it’s such a two dimensional characterisation that i only see w the female characters. all men aren’t angry and hex-happy and scary all the time. they’re affable, chill, respond to situations thoughtfully instead of always resorting to violence.

i think it also bothers me bc the anger thing flows neatly into the v gendered carefree man child/stuck up fun sponge stereotypes that so many relationships are forced into. it’s just an icky dynamic all around.

and lastly,,,i don’t think it’s even normal for a character to be latently terrifying everyone all the time??? unless it’s a specific quirk of theirs??? like women aren’t dementors bro chill tf out

[kavehayati]

I support girls but NAH THIS IS REACHING “if you look carefully LIKE REALLY CAREFULLY 🤓☝️”

Do y'all understand the deeply Nevarran shame Cassandra experiences when she realizes she knows nothing about how Vestalus wanted to be buried or any of his last wishes or anything, she just has to rely entirely on what he put in his will

[skinreflectsthesun]

I go through life trying not to upset anyone ever and I fucking hate it, it’s so goddamn exhausting

[stellabutcringe]

[insomtiny]

i got a sleep token ticket haha <- has experienced the trials and tribulations

[thedreadvampy]

Btw in all the chat about Dot & Bubble and racism has anyone like. acknowledged that it's kinda weird that in the series featuring the first ever Doctor of colour we have seen uhhhhh:

3 specials in which the new Black doctor appears at the end of the last one for like 5 minutes after being replaced with a previous (white) Doctor for the big event episodes (a thing that has never happened before)

3 regular episodes

Episode in which the Doctor is mostly tangential to the plot except as a bomb

2 extremely Doctor-lite episodes, which are a common feature of Doctor Who but are pretty much never stacked back to back

FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT. I like all these things:

Russell T Davies' work on Doctor Who

Ncuti Gatwa's fucking masterful acting

Doctor-lite and companion-centric episodes (which honestly are some of the best New Who episodes. Turn Left? Human Nature?)

but. it is notable that this series - which I would consider so far to be 9 episodes in which Ncuti Gatwa has had a reasonable cut of screentime in like... MAYBE 4? - is a) by far the least Doctor-focused episode ratio that I've ever seen, b) the only one where an actor's actual onscreen regeneration has been pushed back by the return of an old actor, and is c) COINCIDENTALLY the first ever season starring a Black Doctor 🤔

(because like. this could be a coincidence. there are often Doctor-light episodes to give the actor a break, for plot reasons, etc)

(buuuuut. two in a row? and they're both genuine Doctor-light episodes, ie one which is Turn Left style where the Doctor only appears to bookend the episode and is otherwise taken out of the universe, and one which is Blink or Love and Monsters style where the Doctor only appears in brief bursts, on screen, through the episode, with one monologue near the end, while we follow another character around for the bulk of the time. I can't think of many series of New Who with 2 Doctor-lite episodes, especially not in the first half of a season. In Davies' original run there were what, 4 Doctor-lite episodes in 5 years (and that's IF you count Fathers Day which I kinda don't)? and we've had half that many in one season, back to back, only 4 episodes after we DIDN'T SEE THE NEW ACTOR FOR ALMOST 3 FULL SPECIALS?)

(and I do know that Gatwa had shooting commitments with Sex Education but the thing is. back to back in the first 5 episodes???? it's not a good look! it's just not! you don't have to shoot in series order, you can literally space them across the series if you need to work with his shooting schedule! like I am sure it's not intentional but COME ON.)
