No Rizz Just Pretty Green Eyes And Texting “everyone Knows Birds Are Government Drones Anyway”

Ficlet based on this post by @unremarkablehouse speculating about conversation between never again and memento mori. In this they didn’t talk at all between.

Mulder was about to leave for work when his phone rang. “Mulder.”

“Hey, Mulder, it’s me.” Scully said on the other side of the phone. He was still a little mad at her for putting herself in danger and bailing on the case. He knew she was still very mad at him for sticking his nose where it (arguably) didn’t belong.

She was probably already at the office, calling him to tell him that he needed to hurry up. “What?” He asked harshly. Maybe too harshly. Her heard Scully draw a shallow breath on the other end but she remained silent. “Scully, what is it?” He prompted a little more gently. Maybe she was going to apologize, which would give him a perfect chance to do so in turn.

He hated fighting with her. Not initially, not when the adrenaline was coursing through his body and his head was light with anger. Afterwards though, he felt hollow. Felt a pang when he stopped himself for reaching for the phone to tell her about a world war two documentary she should watch, or a tip he just received, or just to say hello. “Can you-“ she started, then he heard a rustling as Scully pulled the phone away from her ear. He heard someone else talking in her side.

“Dr. Scully, we have more scans, if you’d like to speak with Dr. Andrews abouts treatment plan she’s available now, your belongings are in the other room. He heard more rustling.

“Hey. Sorry.”

“Sorry? Scully what treatment plan? Whats going on?” He was frozen next to the door of his apartment, hand on the door knob, as he became vaguely away of the sound of beeping and buzzing florescent in the background.

“Mulder, can you meet me at the hospital?” She said suddenly after remaining silent for another handful of heart beats. His keys nearly slipped from his hand.

“Is this about a case?”

“No,” she responded tersely.

“I’ll be right there, Scully,” he said, opening his door and not bothering to lock it behind him as any feelings of animosity for her melted and drained through his feet back into the ground where they belonged. “I’ll be right there.” And then she hung up on him. Flowers, he needed flowers.

Please drop me some good MSR Au fic recs i love all of slippinmickeys and mldrgrl’s works so anything like theirs or by the dim flaring lamps would be great. ❤️❤️❤️

I know I've been posting more about politics lately, and it's caused me to lose a chunk of followers.

But I'm a queer person with a degree in political science and its an election year. I'm old friends with several of my city council members. I've been to trainings on how to run elections. I spent my college years working for nonprofits (and being the world's worst canvasser). I'm close with more than one person who works for unions, and I have family members who work for government agencies.

I think about politics in a very pragmatic "I know how the sausage is made" kind of way. We're in a vice press, and there's only one way to release the pressure.

The revolution ain't coming. There is no one to save us but us.

So yeah, I'm going to be pissed if your answer is "let them tighten the vice -- there's no way out of the vice, it doesn't matter if they loosen or tighten it."

There's a difference, and anyone telling you otherwise is likely a psyop or someone who fell for a psyop. This literally happened before, and it's happening again.

Stop falling for it.

So a while ago i was writing a “5 times scully was getting flirted with and mulder noticed and 1 time she did” but i never finished it and I never got to the part i really wanted to write but its pride month so I’m going to erite that singular scene right now ready go:

Carefully, after the car already started moving, Mulder said, “wow Scully, even women flirt with you.” Scully turned sharply, luckily he was the one driving.

“What do you mean?”

“That witness-“

“You mean the one in that white top?” Scully asked. Mulder nodded to her. “No.”

“Yeah, definitely.” Scully buried her red face in her hands.

“Mulder turn the car around,” she said. Mulder blinked in surprise… that had not been the reply he was expecting. He almost followed her instructions until his brain caught up with his body.

“What- no!”

“Oh come on! If it were you-“

“If it were me you would tell me I was being unprofessional!”

“Mulder.”

“Scully.”

“Please?”

“No, I want to get to bed.” That was a lie. Mulder didn’t care about going to sleep, he did, however, care about Scully going to flirt with someone else.

Idk what that was happy pride

"Kamala Harris raised 50+ million dollars after Biden dropped out!" you fools.... that's the money she got from selling Biden to One Direction :(

No mulder is not red green color blind he can regularly tell the difference between red human blood and green alien blood

I’m fucking haunted by the throwaway line in Wetwired when Mulder says he is red-green colorblind. I need to know the popular consensus on this.

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! 👀

This is literally my favourite line in the Fight The Future script, nothing can truly top this

started watching the x-files i need these freaks to have premarital sex on their little fbi desk yesterday
