Currently watching the ep, and idk if it’s just me or whateva, BUT it seemed that in this scene/part ⬇️⬇️ It was already shown or foreshadowed (way before it was announced) that Scully was preggers or something bc of her vision
It’s been forever since I’ve written fic, but that “season finale” inspired me to try to make sense of the nonsense, and maybe give Mulder and Scully a chance to start to deal with the shit they’ve been dragged through.
PG-13, spoilers for My Struggle IV, obvs.
It’s dawn when Mulder shifts the car into park. A drizzle mists the windshield, muddying the house’s looming form, the dim glow of the porch light their only welcome. Next to him, Scully sleeps deeply, his jacket tucked into the crook of her neck.
He reaches across the console to touch her cheek. “We’re home.”
She stirs, blinking, before fumbling at the door handle in a rush. She’s out of the car before he can offer to help, making her way to the house. He watches with concern as she pauses at the foot of the steps, leaning on the porch railing for a moment as if to catch her breath, before disappearing around the side of the house. He winces when he hears retching.
So I wanted to hop on here and holler into the void that I miss my friends (including pals here! Hope you’re staying as safe and sane as you can!) It’s now been over a year since I’ve gotten to snuggle a baby and I often think “I don’t know how much longer I can do this” (not in an “I’m in danger” way, just in a “I can’t believe I’m mentally capable of this” way.) So I was going to drop a text post, but then I said “Self, you should post some content. Content with a side of complaining. Also, you have so much junk in your digital files that you deemed too terrible to share in the past, but nothing matters any more.” So I went diving in my archives and stumbled upon this perfectly apt screenshot so here that is. Maybe I’ll continue dumpster diving and unearth some original content™ at some point.
oh my god? the x files-fandom was the fandom that invented the word ‘shipping’? JESUS CHRIST I LOVE Y’ALL
Yes, back in the early days, there were two camps of fans: “Relationshippers” (people all about the MSR) and the “NoRomos” (people all about the platonic partnership.) Relationshippers was eventually shortened to “shippers.”
The X-Files popularity just happened to parallel the birth of the internet. Philes took it by storm with the creation of fan forums, chat groups, and hundreds of websites devoted to the show, characters, and the actors. :)
The X-Files fandom also coined the term UST (Unresolved Sexual Tension) as a fanfic descriptor. :D Fandom history is pretty neat.
fruck man
Man X-Files was my intro to fandom and fic and it shaped me so much
You know this post?
It’s true! But the corollary is, “And if not Star Trek, probably X-Files.”
David Duchovny as Fox Mulder and Gillian Anderson Dana Scully in The X-Files created by Chris Carter Season 6 Episode 15 named “Arcadia” - My favorite!
