scully is truly one of the characters most near and dear to my heart.
she's a navy brat. a middle child to a distant father. a genius. she rewrote einstein at age 23. she is a doctor and a scientist and she's wrestled with god, but never stopped wearing the cross necklace from her mother. she's jealous and territorial. she likes rules and still breaks them with regularity.
she will not discuss her emotions unless it's under 50 layers of metaphor, but she also cannot hide her feelings, so she sits there, visibly moody. she is a terrible liar. she falls asleep easily. she can and will kill someone, but she's such a good shot that she usually doesn't need to- she can put a bullet right in your collarbone and call an ambulance instead.
she spouts disconcerting facts about bugs and decomposition and genetics and saints without blinking. she once autopsied a guy and then ordered his last meal for dinner. she can cure alien viruses. she wants the real cream cheese on her bagel and something sweet to drink. how could you not love her.
nearly bonked her!
that doesnt answer the question.
Acceleration of decolonisation
And while much has happened during the 70 years of her reign, one of her accomplishments happened before she ever wore the crown: Elizabeth was the first woman in the Royal Family to serve as an active duty member of the British Armed Forces https://taskandpurpose.com/news/queen-elizabeth-military-service-wwii/
(no im not a royal bootlicker, im not even british, im just not an asshole about the death of an old woman. furthermore i dont ignore the good things someone does and pretend they dont exists just because bad things also happened. its as if people arent just black and white)
why are you celebrating someone's death?
scully has to deal with a lot

The bat made contact with the ball with a satisfying thwack.
"Ooh, that's good," said Mulder. "Alright, what you may find is you concentrate on hitting that little ball… and the rest of the world just fades away - all your everyday nagging concerns-"
Scully giggled, and they swung the bat again, sending another ball flying. Thwack. He continued, his lips on her ear tickling its shell.
"How you probably couldn't afford that nice new suede coat on a G-woman's salary-"
Thwack.
"-how you threw away a promising career in medicine to hunt aliens with a crackpot - albeit brilliant man-"
Another thwack, and she turned her head to roll her eyes at him, her breath hitching at his proximity.
"-keeping your hands off your gorgeous partner; getting to the heart of a global conspiracy; your obscenely overdue triple-x bill- oh sorry Scully, the last three problems are mine, not yours."
Thwack. "Three, Mulder?" She asked, turning to him again, eyes sparkling with mischief. "You think I'm gorgeous?"
"Yes," he breathed, and her lips parted in surprise at the sudden intensity in his voice. She swallowed.
"You're not too bad yourself," she murmured, turning back to their joined hands on the bat. Thwack. Her back is pressed against his chest and she can feel his heartbeat, a rapid tattoo against her skin.
"And uh-" he cleared his throat. "I'm not doing a great job of keeping my hands off you, am I?"
"No, not really," she said. "But somehow, I don't seem to mind."
Thwack. Before she could overthink it, she let go of the bat, turned in the circle of his arms and cupping his face, pressed her lips to his. They're soft, warm, everything she imagined they would be like in the hours she spent fantasizing about doing just this. She heard the bat clattering to the plate before she felt his arms on her lower back and his lips move against hers to kiss her back.
"I've wanted you for so long," he said, his voice low, teeth nipping at her bottom lip. She moaned softly against his mouth and felt his fingers tighten on her back.
"I've wanted you too," she whispered, capturing his mouth in hers again.
"Hey!" Came the ball-boy's voice, and Mulder and Scully's lips pulled away. "You two done or can I go home?"
"Go home!" Shouted Mulder, without breaking Scully's gaze, then kissed her again, making her giggle.
"Don't you want to play baseball, Mulder?" She asked, pulling away and frowning slightly. "I know you don't get to do that very often."
"Sure, but I don't get to kiss you very often either," he grinned. "Besides-"
He kissed her on her nose, and her face broke out into a smile.
"-I like you better."

Do you know where she is? In a mental institution.
The best part of TXF is they understood women don’t want a macho FBI man they want a sad pathetic man who talks about aliens and misses his baby sister
Not to be dramatic, but I’m blowing myself up
