i cant imagine how CRAZY it’d be to be mulder in triangle. like this man has somehow been inserted in a period-piece fanfic of his life at work and here he is, talking to scully but it’s not his scully but it is but it’s not and he CHOSE TO KISS HER. he knew kissing a 1939 scully would have little to no long-term effects- “in case we never meet again”- but he loves her in any universe and he’s given the perfect opportunity to kiss a scully even if not in his universe and he takes it. and it’s still all so real and so strange when he’s back in his timeline and he’s so enamored by his own scully right in front of him and she can blame it on drugs but she doesn’t know that in a different timeline he got to kiss her. and that’s all the comfort he needs for now. an aching, bruised face has never felt more wonderful and rewarding.
I made a mistake myself. What’s that, Mr. Padgett? In my book, I’d written that Agent Scully falls in love, but that’s obviously impossible. Agent Scully is already in love.
seasons five and six are just crazy. like their feelings aren't a secret but mulder flees and scully's waiting. she wants him to get out of the damn car sometimes. to just be with her. he denies himself and in turn denies her. i don't think their feelings for each other are ever the question. and not even really how he prioritizes scully but the way she wants him to do it...needs him to do it. and finally, finally after one son & amor fati, he can do it. he takes the lesson in the unnatural and stops denying himself. there's a little more safety with the syndicate mostly gone. no fowley lurking to twist his head around. he knows the truth and the truth is scully.
I need to know what the X-Files writers were smoking in season 6.
"You know that byzantine conspiracy plot we've been developing for serval years now? Yeah scrap that, we've got better things to do. Two-part body swap comedy! The Gunmen take Vegas! Alien baseball love story! Mulder and Scully trip balls while being eaten alive by carnivorous mushrooms! ALIENS WROTE THE BIBLE!!"
Coroner's report came back on Fellig. Says he died of a single gunshot wound. That's all it said. Well, I, uh... talked to your doctor and... he says you're doing great. You're making the fastest recovery he's ever seen.
Yeah, Mulder, I don't even know how I entertained the thought. People don't live forever.
No, no, I-I... I think he would have. I-I just think that … that death only looks for you... once you seek its opposite.
