My Aura Has Never Been Nerdier😊💗

Thinking about how Mulder is still on a bit of a self-destructive streak even after he gets Scully back after her abduction. In S02E09 'Firewalker', he is ready to go after Trepkos alone, despite knowing about how dangerous the man doubtlessly is- he's already killed two people. In S02E10 'Red Museum', he quite literally invites the kids to fight him 'four on one', and later goes after another known murderer- this time one who he already knows- by himself. Yes, there's an overall thing of Mulder running off like this. But specifically when it's so soon after Scully's abduction, and because he doesn't tell her at all, with no opportunity for a "Mulder, where are you going?", and she has to find out through a third party, it really sticks out to me.

I don't really know where I'm going with this, but there we are. Scully's back, but he still hasn't forgiven himself for losing her in the first place. It's almost as though he's still trying to bear some of her pain.

“It’s been said that the fear of the unknown is an irrational response to the excesses of the imagination. But our fear of the everyday, of the lurking stranger and the sound of footfalls on the stairs, the fear of violent death and the primitive impulse to survive are as frightening as any X-File. As real as the acceptance that it could happen to you.”

Your girl needs some asks to muse over as she attempts not to stress out too much over her mock trial competition! Send them in!

I’m midway through S5 of TXF, so anything through there is on the table:)

OOHHHHH sopranos like the singers

altos: bada biNg 🔫 bada boOm 🔫 bada biNg 🔫 bada boOm 🔫

Few facts that need correcting here. “Carol of the Bells” is a newer arrangement of an ancient Ukranian folk melody called Shchedryk [wikipedia]. The alto line actually does sound quite haunting if you sing it with the Ukranian lyrics (which have nothing to do with bells or Christmas) instead of the obnoxious “ding dong” English lyrics that Wilhousky wrote in 1936:

My gosh! Take 2 minutes for a little bit of beauty. You won’t regret it.

thinking about scully telling mulder "I had the strength of your beliefs" when she came out of that coma and her telling the doctors "he's going to make it" with such a forceful tone as if she was trying to will it into being, as if the strength of her beliefs would be enough to bring him back the way he did for her, and the way she's so desperately determined to keep him alive she comandeers an ER and declares that he's going to make it but then her voice gets softer when she looks at mulder on the table, and how she strokes his hair and holds his face so gently

how about we do that thing where you give me a show/movie/fandom and I’ll tell you:

and, knowing me, I’ll probably explain why

few things more humbling than the realization that you really do write the same fic(s) over and over again

Someone mentioned on another tumblr post about how nobody complained that Agatha Christie wrote ANOTHER book about murder.

Write your story. Write it again. And again.

Okay but do you understand the TREASURE TROVE of reading a fic you enjoy and then looking at the author's page and discovering they have written multiple just like it?! That is the ultimate score!

I write for myself

dude...T^T

Fox Mulder won the autism lottery. He made the FBI give him an entire subdivision for his special interest AND someone to infodump to
