Cheers, Hello poang pal!

I hope you are doing well. What is your favorite colour (and is it green?). What is your favorite scene in TXF? Is there one in particular that makes you laugh?

Do you have a favorite quote from the show?

Would you be willing to answer the questionnaire posted in the server so I can tailor your gift to your specific likes?

Hello! Hahaha unfortunately not (but on scully I like it for... reasons) it is blue or purple.

Oh geez there are so many. Like, a good portion of bad blood and small potatoes make me laugh quite a bit. Same with Clyde Buckmans Final Reprose

A quote that I tend to think about a lot is when Mulder and Scully were fighting "syzygy" Anyway

"Why do you always have to drive? Becuase you are the big macho man?"

""I was just never sure your little feet could reach the pedals." Also "Sure . Fine. Whatever." Also from that episode. Here is the questionnaire! I copied some of the answers from last time because well, I'm lazy

Tell your secret admirer about your relationship to The X-Files. This could be about how you got into the show in the first place, what it means to you, or anything else you’d like to share.

I did see txf a few times growing up, but as it wasn't really the typical genre for me, I didn't reeeeally get into it until about a year and a half-ish ago. My mom got into a binge of it, and I would see random episodes when I so happened to be around. Even though I only saw extremely random episodes, I got really into it. As I can't seem to just say I'm into something like a normal person, the idea of "wouldn't it be funny if we cosplayed as mulder and scully at conventions and pretend we are investigating?" was pitched to my sister (as we are both vendors at conventions) was born, and I watched the episodes for "research". Meanwhile, I felt positively spoiled as there was so. much. fanworks. and active fans. The last few fandoms I partook in were really small. I got THE" one bed fic" say, while in txf there is like 2000 of them. It felt like christmas every day here. Also people act like the show is still active. There is a spark of excitement I haven't felt in fandom in a long time

Tell your secret admirer about your favorite things! Favorite characters, ships, scenes, seasons, arcs, etc.

Hmmm, I DO love me more of the comedic episodes. Like bad blood, small potatoes etc. I feel like I don't really have a favourite season really, as long as it is 1-7. They all have their good episodes and something to love from the ones I saw. Obviously my fav ship is msr, but I do sometimes like to see one of them momentarily jealous. Just…. nothing to get in the way of holy, holy msr

Now what are your least favorite things?

So, I am currently watching season 8, and I'm not really a fan of Doggett being there instead of Mulder. So for me, I would stick with something between seasons 1-7. I am not a fan of the emily arc, or anything else that focuses too much on scully's infertility. The fact it happened is fine enough, but when it starts to be and entire thing is ehhhh….

Also the later myth ark episodes sometimes doesn't do it for me. One that really sticks out to me is "closure" and how they dealt with Samantha's abduction. I mean, c'mon CC

Tell your secret admirer where you fall on the following scales:

I am fine with all levels of spice! That being said, there are some kinks I reeeeeally don't like, so if you are going with the ghost pepper, go with the vanilla ghost pepper.

Angst Scale

For me, anything between pale blue sky and cascade, maybe sapphire tears if actually a happy ending. Basically with happily take some angst but I don't want them to actually die or get disfigured, y'know?

What’s on your X-Files playlist? e.g. a character playlist, MSR playlist, etc. Bonus points for love songs!

Simply Simple by mother mother for angst, there is a song by Erutan that is called "You're not Alone". It is actually lyrics that she wrote for a song in Final Fantasy IX, but the lyrics fit well

What are some of your favorite quotes and/or lyrics about love?

oh uhhh, I think I gotta pass on this one

What are some of your favorite tropes? Are there any you avoid?

I LOVE UST, sick fics, under cover stuff (dating, married couple etc.), awkward situations (like getting locked in a closet etc.), one bed, stuck somewhere because some kind of storm, one or both of them getting drunk/high etc. I do enjoy my angst but I something have to be in the right mood for some muldertorture, but them in the similar structure as sick fics tend to be but him a little more messed up (like fell down a hole and broke his arm, now scullys gotta take care of him.) is some good stuff. I also tend to enjoy casefics, but they ideally be heavily dipped in MSR. Fluff is good

I really don't tend to do AU's. The AU's of "what if x did y" AU's are ok, but I'm not a fan of high school AU's etc. I also tend to avoid crossovers. I'm also not a huge fan of the whole fic diving into scully's family and they are apart except for a phone call, or seeing mulder with her family only to be threatened by Bill, etc.

What is your favorite color or color scheme? These can be specific colors or general categories, e.g. jewel tones, cool colors.

I do love me some cool colours, and tend to use them a lot. There is a thing about pink and black together as well though for maximum edge (maybe red and black for scully?)

What’s a fic that you would send as a valentine to someone else? Why would you choose that fic?

A fic is not coming to mind right now (I am very tired) but something over the top fluffy. Because after all, that is what Valentine's day is all about c:

Share the links to some gifsets/edits that you love and tell your secret admirer why (e.g. do you like the layout? The coloring? The quote that they used? Typography? Simplicity? Parallels?). These can be X-Files/MSR or other fandoms.

I don't have any saves, but I really gotta pour one out for all the people that have made it easy to see whats going on in any scene

[lunatic-fandom-space]

Alright, Period Cramps just set in and Im looking for songs anyway so Im gonna be listening to every RWBY Song (V1-V7) in chronological order and rank them, starting with the worst. Lets go!

Caffeine: Thank god the team with the Nazi-based leader has the shittiest song so far.

Celebrate: Why tf is this here

Shine: Ehhhh. I dont really know why but the vibes were all off, somehow. The fact that really dislike Jaune (and as an extension, Arkos) doesn't help either.

Forever Fall: This song was 5 minutes long and it felt like 20

Brand New Day: I barely even registered that

Fear: not the worst

Lets Get Real: Either Im too tired or the songs are getting worse

War: Im ranking this one higher because it wasnt over 4 minutes

Bmblb: All the love songs are so generic

Dream Come True: Im listening to all these songs in the form of Lyric Videos and the art used in this one made me think 'Oh, a Jaune Song... Great. Well, maybe we'll get Jaune pining after Phyrrah now! Yknow, to balance it out. A cute lil song of him pining for a nice girl might me like him a bit more!' and guess what. It wasnt that. It was another Arkos Song from Phyrrahs perspective. AND this one had unnecessary Girl-Hate towards Weiss! For no reason! The only reason its above Shine is because they atleast got the vibes right this time.

Not Fall In Love With You: I think Im just not a big fan of the love songs.

Boop: It was pretty cute but nothing to write home about

Until The End: slow piano

Touch The Sky: Its not that bad, its just that Im tired and this song is too goddamn long

This Time (From Shadows II): A just fine song for a shitty arc

I Burn: I liked fine, until they started rapping.

Like Morning Follows Night: I thought this was gonna be one of the better love songs, then he started rapping.

Smile: All this does is make me question how Ilia was in the wrong even more. Sounded alright though.

The Triumph: Eh, pretty unremarkable opening for an unremarkable volume

This Will Be The Day: A very promising start! There's honestly not much to say here

From Shadows: It was fine. I liked the overall sound but the lyrics and the singing are just a bit too edgy for me.

Bad Luck Charm: Someone in the comments under the lyrics video said "looks like someone found his middleschool poetry" and honestly, yeah.

I May Fall: Hey, yknow how the FoB was apparently meant to happen in Volume 1? Yeah. Overall, I thought it was pretty alright. (You can probably already tell that Im not too big of a fan of the louder, more energetic songs so far.....

Trust Love: This is by no means a problem I have with only this song, but I hate how theyre all like "oh this isnt some FaIrYtAlE kid, this is real n dark n shit" as if RWBY isnt the least dark and least subversive story Ive seen in recent time

Rising: Alright but unremarkable

Miracle: Another alright but unremarkable one. At this point I feel like listening to these songs is frying my brain

Ignite: I was just gonna say its an alright Yang Song but that rap...

Big Metal Shoe: I can appreciate some fairy tale references

Gold: The chorus got a bit repetitive but I thought it was pretty cute

Home: Another cute lil family song! This one was kinda long though

Lionized: I really appreciate the vibe of this song

All Our Days: Adorable! I didnt really expect a Taiyang Song but this was pretty nice

Sacrifice: Not really much go say about this one, I thought it was fine

Neon: I feel like I just got aggressively flexed on in the nicest, yet most condescending way possible

Lusus Naturae: Very edgy, but in a way that I can appreciate more

Red Like Roses I: I really like the sound of this one! I kinda wish we had more lyrics, but this was the song used in the Red Trailer so Im assuming it was made to compliment the action more than anything. At the start and end there was this series of notes, that Im assuming is gonna be the Leitmotiv? Either way, Im curious how theyll use it

All Things Must Die: I feel like this song is definitely at its best during the slower bits

Lets Just Live: First of all, I cant believe they live-laugh-loved us. They kept mentioning like, stories and how 'this isnt your TYPICAL fairytale', I could practically feel the writers being like "Huh, huuuuuuuh? Arent we CLEVER? Yes we are, yes we are!" But other than it was mostly fine. A bit long, maybe.

Armed And Ready: Pretty alright Yang Song, I felt like it was just a bit too long

It's My Turn: Not much to say, I thought it was a fine Weiss Song

Nevermore: I think its good

Wings: I really enjoyed this song! Caseys voice is lovely and I think its a very good Blake Song

Indomitable: I liked this one, but I feel like its mainly because the line "the spirit is indomitable" reminds of Flame from VRAINS

When It Falls: This song is trying very hard to convince you that RWBY is Dark Now. And given that Im pretty sure this is V3s opening, I guess it fits. Oh well, it still sounded pretty nice.

One Thing: A real slappin song thats going straight to my YGO-playlist as well

All That Matters: Very neat song about Yang's conflicting feelings on Blake's return. Shame theyre literally not conveyed at all in the show.

Die: Very agressive title, but okay. I also enjoyed this one, who wouldve guessed. I love this whole vibe of Desperate Heroism In A World In Ruin, yknow? Its there in Time To Say Goodbye and Red Like Roses II (two of my favourite songs so far) too. Though it is quite dissapointing that the show never really matched it.

Hero: I dont get how people can look at this and go "yeah, Ironwood was clearly always a tyrant who never even remotely cared for others". Also Caleb Hyles my beloved

Time To Say Goodbye: Another very nice song! I also think the foreshadowing in the third verse (yknow the slow one) was quite well done. The only real issue is, that the plot point its foreshadowing is stupid as hell

The Path To Isolation: Why is Weiss a better character in her songs?

Divide: This song is trying very hard to convince you that RWBY is Dark Now pt 2. It is a banger though, so its fine.

Mirror Mirror: Funfact: This was technically the first RWBY-Thing Ive ever consumed! A Youtuber named Strawbelly made a german cover of this song (and the songs from the other trailers, I believe) and it was one of my favourites for a while. Ive also already listened to some of Weiss' other songs and I remember enjoying them too. I can definitely already tell that I prefer Caseys voice in the slower songs, so I really hope this keeps up

This Life Is Mine: Yoooooooooo, Caseys voice was amazing in this one(especially at the very start)! This is one of the Weiss Songs I listened to before I even watched RWBY and what can I say, I loved it back then and I love it now

I'm The One: Oh, this was absolutely lovely. For the first few seconds I thought I wouldnt like this one, but its a banger! I love the lyrics too, theyre very clever I think

Red Like Roses II: DUDE, I adored this! I did not expect there to be lyrics for Summer at all and I was so pleasently surprised! Sandra's voice was lovely, and I really hope I'll get to hear her again. But on a slightly more negative note, I feel like this is really where the whole 'RWBYs Songs Characterize The Protagonists In A More Compelling Way Than The Show Does'-Problem starts.

I originally wanted to write some kind of conclusion but Im tired and wanna read angst fics. Have a good night!
