Every time I'm watching classic Doctor Who or TOS or any other old sci-fi that's in color and I see an actor with green or gray or whatever color body paint, I wonder how many cancers it's giving them.

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

Should I blow my tax return on these guys? Mulder doesn't look nearly sad or wet enough, but this is the only decent Scully sculpt I've found.

You know why Mulder and Scully are such a good ship, why they've endured for so long? It's because they're written the way so many of these totally-not-gay on-screen male friendships are. They're both treated like complete people. They connect with each other in ways that matter. They show their devotion to each other by taking huge risks, making real sacrifices. When each of them is alone in a bad situation, the other is the first one they think of. They matter equally to each other and in the show. Their devotion feels real.

Most straight relationships I see in media are so shallow compared to that, so unconvincing. The male friendships are completely different. I believe - because I'm shown - that guys like Kirk and Spock, like House and Wilson, like Tom Paris and Harry Kim would turn the world upside down for each other, take enormous risks for each other, abandon everyone else for each other. I see what I don't see when those same male characters are around women, and what I do see between Mulder and Scully: actual love.

So yeah, I absolutely ship a ton of male pairings. Because I find it a lot more satisfying to ship characters when I can actually believe they love each other.

#txf #house md #star trek #doctor who #I mean come on the doctor and the master are ''enemies'' but HOW MANY so-called friends has the doctor fucked over for the master's sake #how many times has the doctor let the master live even though the master has attempted to wipe out the human race multiple times #and same with the master #it's a twisted love but they're never gonna let it go #twissy is great though but would it be if it weren't built on decades of thoschei sexual tension? #I'm going off a bit #anyway... #you know what fuck you *gays your male friendship*

Others go on cute dates, meanwhile Wilson and House be like:

"Aha! You yawned."

"Aha! You tried to kill me."

Me, to a friend: “so y’know how the X-Files is just Doctor Who for grownups?”

Friend: “No??? What? Explain?”

Like I guess I’d forgotten that most people irl don’t have the same brain rot as me and don’t have the same Charlie Day conspiracy board in their heads where I’ve charted the similarities between pop culture things and their themes.

I felt like Brian David Gilbert doing an unraveled irl for 5 glorious minutes, and was greeted by the response “you think about this stuff a lot, huh?”

#doctor who #txf #I haven't drawn this comparison but I can see it #I mean they absolutely do have thematic similarities #I make charlie day conspiracy theory boards for doctor who/mononoke 2007 #kinda+snakedance especially #but also I think maybe 5 people would get it if I tried to explain

Cameron: Chase, we should start having sex because it's convenient and I'm convinced I'll never love you.

Chase: ...

Cameron: I'd hire prostitutes like House but you're cheaper.

Chase: ...

Chase: ... Okay.
