Then, too, at sea—to use a homely but expressive phrase—you miss a man so much. A dozen men are shut up together in a little bark, upon the wide, wide sea, and for months and months see no forms and hear no voices but their own, and one is taken suddenly from among them, and they miss him at every turn. It is like losing a limb. There are no new faces or new scenes to fill up the gap. There is always an empty berth in the forecastle, and one man wanting when the small night watch is mustered. There is one less to take up the wheel, and one less to lay out with you upon the yard. You miss his form, and the sound of his voice, for habit had made them almost necessary to you, and each of your senses feels the loss.

—a sailor's diary entry, on losing a shipmate, ca. 1834 (from Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Henry Dana Jr.)

#he also started the entry for that day by saying 'this was a black day in our calendar' #sorry but i'm even more emotional about this after watching ofmd someone please appreciate #this is an actual entry in a real sailor's diary about really losing one of his shipmates #two years before the mast #richard henry dana jr. #quotes #nautical #the sea #nautical history #ofmd #our flag means death

Sammy's Lost His Eye

            Once in a while I listen to a podcaste called “The Real Dana.” The host is the Real Dana, is a protégée of the legendary self-proclaimed hater, Tori Torain aka STAR (Strange Thoughts And Revelations).  If you want to know more about STAR click here. The Real Dana, left the “STAR in the Morning” show which incidentally was a number one rated podcaste on Youtube to start her own…

Props to the owl house for the fact that belos, a thinly veiled insert for Christian puritanism, was murdered by a bisexual teen girl (in a sort of demonic form), her adoptive mother (who is chronically ill and also turns into a beast sometimes) and a literal demon

Fox Mulder doesn't have the "I Want To Believe" poster there because he's crazy. He doesn't have it there to broadcast his beliefs or as a mantra or to remind him to always look for aliens.

Fox Mulder keeps that "I Want To Believe" sign above his desk to remind him of his own internal biases.

That sign hangs above Mulder's desk to remind him of his own shortcomings and flaws. He's aware that he's a hack with dangerous beliefs and prone to flights of fancy and maybe even delusions. He's aware that he's desperately searching for aliens and monsters where there are only men doing bad things. And he has to remind himself of that, constantly.

That's why he's thrilled when he meets Scully and she challenges his beliefs, says that logically aliens don't exist. He's thrilled when she tells him to cut the crap in the pilot episode. He needs someone to challenge him. He needs someone who won't take his shit and put up with his flights of fancy. And he knows it. He's been dealing with himself for years and he feels relief and joy when Scully comes in and says enough of your bullshit. We're doing this my way. With science and logic. He isn't smiling and teasing her because he thinks he's smarter and better than her. He's smiling because she's exactly the person he needs in his life.

That's why he tells her right away that he's a UFO freak with trauma about his sister and a true believer. Not because he's trying to convince her to believe, but because he needs her to understand where he's coming from and what's wrong with him. So she can understand that either he's a dangerous lunatic himself, or he's delving into a dangerous conspiracy and either way she could be collateral damage if she stays with him. He spends the pilot episode reckoning with the idea that either he's a maniac or he's pulling this young fresh detective into danger. When she starts agreeing with him he gets upset, talks her out of it.

Mulder keeps that sign above his desk to remind himself to look into the "reasonable logical" explanations. He keeps that sign on his desk because he knows he's flawed and biased and frankly, dangerous.

He tells Scully exactly what he thinks is happening and about all the crazy stuff he believes not because he's trying to convince her to believe too, but so she can be his sounding board. So she can throw his illogical bullshit back in his face and remind him to look past his own biases and paranoia and quasi-religious zealotry. Because he knows he needs that. He knows he's in a conspiracy brained echo chamber of his own making and having a slow-burn mental breakdown. And he sees Scully as salvation from himself. As another figure in his quasi-religious belief system. The savior.

As the series develops he relies on her more and more to reality check him. Literally reality check him and manage what he worries might all be a delusion.

Mulder pretends he's confident and all the constant criticism and sidelong glances don't get to him and that might be true because he doesn't respect those people but he respects Scully. And he needs someone he respects to tell him when he's wrong, when he's being biased or actively delusional. Scully is his salvation. She's compassionate about his trauma and the reasoning behind his beliefs, but confident and logical enough to tell him when it's all bullshit. She's his savior, his rock, and often his only real connection to material reality.

#in conclusion Dana Scully is Jesus #haha but for real she is #the x files #x files #fox mulder #dana scully #mulder and scully #agent mulder #spooky mulder #okay she might be more of an allegory for the Mother Mary #but she's actually more of a Jesus figure herself #in this essay I will #someone help the media analysis chip in my brain won't turn off #also goddamn this man loves sticking his hand in mysterious substances #in episode four he chases a coyote into the woods by himself this man is crazy #fox mulder is a dangerous maniac #and I love him #I love this whorish delusional man #oh and he puts his hand in and then tastes what he knows is probably poisonous foxglove #honestly there's no substance fox mulder won't stick his hand in and or taste
