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! đź‘€
white people go like “is anyone going to redesign this nonhuman evil character as a poc?” and not wait for an answer
I just cant decide who lights my fire
Another scully sketch this one even sketchier
Is sweets their kid or their third?
The biggest “your experiences are not universal” thing I feel is whenever anyone talks about the universality of girls planning their weddings since childhood because. Well. Not me. God bless
Brb im going to write a fic about Mulder seeing scully going through it™️ in the early seasons and seeing someone else trying to comfort her and she is having absolutely none of it then realizing that hes the only one she lets comfort her
When i tell you that i rented the movie and recorded this scene on my phone so it is in my camera roll
Mulder knew he was in love with Scully by S2 and he stopped trying to deny it (to himself at least) by S4. And THAT, my friends, is why S4 hits different.
Fandom is such a weird place. Like I watched a tv show and thought “wow, these two nerds have a lot of chemistry and I’d like to dedicate a large chunk of my life to thinking about them” so I went in search of other people who also thought these two nerds had a lot of chemistry and then it turned out that a shit ton of people were talking about these two nerds having a lot of chemistry and now it’s 4 years later and we write each other porn on holidays.
No thoughts just the idea of scully in armor
lol saw your anti color blind mulder post. I’d love to hear your explanation!!
Okay so people did see it:
BASICALLY red-green color blind means you either see red as green or green as red, which we all know right? (I had to learn extensively about this in my biology class, because what is biology class if not a way to help me understand the x-files) obviously, this never changes, it cant just flip one day, and yet fox mulder is continuously shown to be able to tell the difference between red human blood and green “alien blood” this is shown in the erlenmeyer flask, colony, and nisei just to name a few examples. So clearly Mulder is not red-green color blind, right, the writers messed up, so the real question is what is the canon explanation.
I have two: either mulder was so out of his mind with worry for scully that he needed to ask the gunmen about that theory and just says that cuz its the first thing that pops into his head
OR
He fell asleep while he was supposed to be watching the tapes and didn’t want them to know ig
Anyway I wrote a wetwired fanfic if Mulder wasn’t “colorblind” because i feel very passionately about it
If youd like to listen to me ramble about it I do that now and also i write fanfiction (a HeavyOnTheTragedy on AO3)
