#dont make me feel things
it’s the way dana scully is a genuine and deeply uncool nerd and also a slight masochist with serious daddy issues and quiet conflicting desires. the way she’s a flowery philosophiser and an incredibly bright student of medicine as well as a perfect shot and a bottle of survivor’s rage. the way she’s a cluttered and warm, homey maximalist while being a misfit outsider and often completely alone. the way she’s petty and cold and blunt and then, when she’s drunk in love, embarrassingly flirtatious and girly. the way she is a reticent pillar of a woman but cries easily when it feels safe. the way she is entirely and easily independent and chooses to devote herself completely to someone who makes her feel dangerous and alive.
