No one can tell me that if Mulder and Scully were hooking up but not together near the beginning of the series Casual by Chappell Roan wouldn’t have been their song while they were fighting their true romantic feelings and pushing each other away to keep their hearts safe
Is it Casual Now? Absolutely not
And the dream of us in a year part? SHUT UP THEY WANT TO WIFE EACH OTHER UP SO BAD
No rizz just pretty green eyes and texting “everyone knows birds are government drones anyway”
Was no one going to tell me there are 20 xf books!?
Me: You know how when you were a kid and you’d wish that you’d get sick or injured in a way that would justify why you didn’t live up to your potential?
Everybody, apparently: No?
Damn. I could write a fanfic about that.
That gif of GA going around talking about how she lied about her age when auditioning for scully bc they don't let 24 yos be doctor-fbi agents made me think about an au of TXF where you lean into the total babyface thing and have Scully be this wunderkind prodigy doctor who maybe even made the news and skipped grades and went to college at 15 and med school at 18/19 and really did finish her residency at 24/25.... It would add a whole new dimension to her choice to switch to pathology over cardio thoracic surgery and also to leave private practice for the FBI. Like, a whole magnitude bigger of the 'you're a g-d gifted prodigy and you choose to do this? Not save living patients? Throw away all your hard work to be a field agent?' and then to compound the issue, she chooses to flame out into fringe obscurity with that slacker alien nut Mulder.
Really lean into the Jodie Foster character parallels (Clarice Starling and Ellie Arroway).
Also the whole triumph of free will or rebellion against the Obligations Of Genius. Also somewhat of a Mulder parallel except he had a lot of outside forces moving him away from the things that he was gifted at but were destructive for him, so idk
I feel like someone mentioned this idea already actually, @unremarkablehouse maybe? But just seconding that yes aus digging into prodigy Scully would be really interesting! 👀
Ahhh
A different version of the msr as childhood friends AU
Chapter 14 of A Muse, a Myth, a Mortal is UP
In the morning he left before she did. In the office he didn’t make a move to put his hand on what had become its usual place on her back and he failed to make it home for dinner.
On the third day of this, when Mulder gave her a wide berth in the kitchen as she went to move past him, Scully snapped. “Mulder, what is wrong with you?” Mulder nearly spit out his coffee.
“Pardon?” he choked out. Scully put a hand on her hip and gave him a severe look that was in no way negated by the Flinstone’s pajama pants she was wearing with her UMaryland sweatshirt.
In brazil it’s on amazon prime video to purchase (allegedly) and STAR+ (likely also to purchase) and on disney+ if you’re in Portugal although I don’t know if its a dub as I have searched high and low for a Portuguese dub with no sucess
Good luck!
perdendo a cabeça procurando o filme de arquivo x. eu já assisti, mas a porra da amazon prime não tem no catálogo, e como tô reassistindo a série, quero reassistir o filme também. além de que esse filme é bom e tem muita coisa importante de mulder&scully
Likewise, I will not be happy with anything less than success
“would you rather be happy or successful” is such a crazy argument. if i am not happy i am not successful. next question
I am not in the habit of shipping real people however there’s definitely a universe where they’re together
