#txf: this is not happening

The ship in question being fox mulder and The Poster

i think that if mulder ever confessed to scully how he hooked up with (what he believed to be) a vampire in his suicidal haze while she was missing, she would be mournful over how terribly he suffered in her absence, and touched in his trust in her to share that. but also she would make some terrible "i vant to suck your blood" jokes and ask if he felt seduced. which is why their dynamic is great.

Woe. Scully be upon ye.

That's why we like you, Mulder, your ideas are weirder than ours.

“Do you believe in the existence of extraterrestrials?” // “Logically, I would have to say no.” [1x01 — pilot]

“You believe in extraterrestrials?” // “Let's just say I don't not believe. As I said, I try to stay open.” [8x14 — this is not happening]

Love that David and Gillian do The X-Files for a bit and they get sick of it so they quit but then 6 years later they do it again for the nostalgia but it's just a one-off thing so then 8 years after that they revive it AGAIN for a few more years until they quit for the second time and say they're leaving it for dead but WHAT DO YOU KNOW another 6 years later here we are and Gillian Isn't Saying No to a reboot

THE X-FILES (1993-2018)

SEASON EIGHT — I will go on record to say this: that I have seen things that I cannot explain. I have observed phenomena that I cannot deny. And that as a scientist and a serious person it is a badge of honor not to dismiss these things because someone thinks they're BS.

[carefulfears]

what are some of your favorite acting moments in the x files?

i may do a proper full list sometime in the future but one thing that i think about every single day of my life is mulder being scripted to cry in the beginning of memento mori and duchovny saying that a lot of actors “try to feel” but people don’t go through life trying to feel, they go through life trying not to feel. “we go through life trying not to cry.” and so he plays it as completely composed, “but struggling,” and it defines an arc.

because if scully tells mulder that she’s got incurable cancer and she is going to die and he says “i refuse to believe that” while crying, it projects to the audience that he already does. why break down over something you don’t think is going to happen? he says “i refuse to believe that” with a straight face, and eventually gets her to acquiesce and admit something that she knows isn’t true, that goes against literally everything in her as a scientist and a doctor and someone whose job is to tell him the truth, and says that maybe they’ll find a cure for her death sentence.

she meets him where he is, and they stay there, and every scene that follows that decision is so haunted by it. they don’t talk about it, they don’t accept it, she’s dying alone and he doesn’t believe.

there’s this really palpable and intense repression that i’ve written about in the past, that comes with the fact that they’re both lying. he does know what’s happening. he is completely capable of understanding. she does not think that he can save her. they both go through it alone, because of that initial refusal, and it doesn’t work if he reacts to that diagnosis with tears.

No thoughts just vibes

[mulders-too-large-shirt]

i think a major thing that is overlooked in the x files is that when they do their little cutscene of them driving from washington dc to the bumfuck middle of nowhere at the start of each episode, their roadtrips must be SO long. so what are they doing in that time? are they fighting over which radio station to listen to? filling the silence with conversation? is that how they become inseparable, over mind-numbing hours on the road where stories slip off of the tongue with ease?

@phillippadgettwrites i need you to know that note has been bouncing around my head like a dvd screensaver for WEEKS

[mulderrrrrrr]

post-abduction mulder saying “yeah but in that show the people were married, we just work together” hurt me deeply like idk maybe the whole alien abduction debacle made him forget about that one time he made the population of the world dissapear and still looked for scully ??? hello mulder and scully were many things but just partners was never one of them
