They're bi4bi. They're coworkers. They solve crimes. Nobody comments on the crimes they commit together. She's very pretty and fashionable and he's a guy in a suit (affectionate). They didn't sleep together but they didn't not sleep together. Their favourite mode of communication is the double entendre.

#i was going to add the “i didn't say their names etc.” #but i couldn't be bothered #most of the time i can't get into m/f ships #but i love this dynamic #it's steed and peel #and msr #and maybe the ashes to ashes guys too i just haven't watched enough of that to be certain yet #the avengers (tv show) #x-files #do i tag a2a? #yeah why not #a2a #partywithponies you are the exact target demographic for this post i hope you see it #steed and peel have both killed people and nobody ever talks about it #it's never particularly obvious but there's a lot of #“oh that guy's never going to get up” or “maybe he survived that fall out the window but like. how likely is that” #msr's crimes are more like. constant breaking and entering #most of the time they have probable cause #occasionally mulder will enter some guy's house because he's convinced that they're using evil cockroaches to commit murders #with zero actual evidence for that line of thinking

The dumb thing is that I have to go back to work tomorrow, which will seriously cut into my preferred profession of thinking about fictional couples banging.

One Dress a Day Challenge

Anything Goes December

The Avengers (season 5) / Diana Rigg as Emma Peel

With all the costumes I've featured from this show, somehow I've never made an entry for Emma's most famous look, the catsuit. This is partly because I could never choose just one! So I'm devoting this post to a montage of all her catsuits from season 5, her color season. They show quite a range of colors, trim, and styles. Photos borrowed from The Avengers Fashion Guide, an indispensible resource for any fan.

 Notice who's serving the tea while the other is reading the newspaper in the next scene:

Yes, it is a 60s TV show and so they're constantly in a pretty tight frame, but I have seen many 60s TV shows and no one climbs their co-stars like these two.

Finally! A retrospective I can show people and my friends to get them into one of my favourite shows.

(Little harsh on season 6, but then again, that just might be my fondness for it talking).

I was shipping these two decades before I ever knew the word "shipping".

Props to the GIF creators. I wish I knew the magic trick, but then if I did I'd be filling my blog with Jenna Coleman and Diana Rigg gifs more than I already am!

I actually am not sure if there is a shipping name for John Steed and Emma Peel. "Steel" works a lot better than the other way around!

This Christmas, ensure to gaze lovingly at your platonic co-worker, under the mistletoe, making it obvious to all who see you that you want to kiss each other senseless. Don't forget to put your hand on their thigh, just out of view, to reinforce that platonic bond you share.
