The thing about Mulder and Scully, even in the first season, is that they’re both so willing to admit to one another when they’re wrong and even when they disagree they’re open to hearing and learning from the other’s perspective and they both allow one another to see their vulnerability and they encourage each other’s growth and they’re snarky but also gentle and caring with each other and they never handle one another with kid gloves or walk on eggshells with each other and they’re just as strong individually as they are as a team and they continue to choose each other again and again and again and -

Mulder and Scully really say things like 'I may not believe in God but I believe in you' to one another and then just. go about their daily lives ??? are they aware that that is Not Normal

THE X-FILES 30TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION ➙ day 7: 30th anniversary extravaganza 🎉
I can still recall seeing my very first episode back in 1994: Darkness Falls. In honor of the show that has brought me so much joy over the years I present some bloopers and a bonus 1993 holiday promo! (It's super low res but I still love it ❤)

salvaged from the office fire in 1998
#my art#the x files#dana scully#fox mulder#alex krycek#i was talking about this on twitter yesterday but#i have a LOTTTTTT a lot of thought about this part of season two#mainly because i think that while scully probably realized she was never going to find peace ever again after emily#i do believe that the last time mulder ever thought everything would be okay was right before scully’s abduction#which is also kind of why i think mulder was closer to killing himself in ascension than in gethsemane#at the end of season four mulder is kind of resigned to his and scully’s lives unravelling#he’s more suspicious and slower to trust then he ever was#while ascension was the first time he was like. Oh okay. It’s over for us forever and ever#and the fact that he was still open and still kind of okay before that just kind of makes it worse#that he was just betrayed and left hanging and lost everyone he thought he had in one fell swoop#ascension jades the fuck out of him and you can see it. like through the whole series there are threads of it#his tendency to rely on skinner regresses for a while. he becomes even less functional when scully is gone.#he has far less patience for his informants and he refuses to rely on anyone the way he tried to on krycek#like it’s just. such an obvious shift in his character that you can tell his mindset about his and scully’s life has changed#and that’s a huge part of the show’s tragedy i think. ​there is no peace. there is no rest. it’s never going to be okay

I think Mulder’s maturation in the revival is perfectly encapsulated when juxtaposing the endings of Babylon (10x05) and Nothing Lasts Forever (11x09).
They poignantly show the progression of Mulder realizing the answers he needed were never in the sky but right in front of him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In Babylon, when Scully is being vulnerable with Mulder, he gets distracted and withdraws from the moment, from her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Contrastingly, in NLF, Mulder stands vulnerably in front of the eyes of her God and professes that, above all else, he is present for her. He listens.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Babylon (10x05)
Scully: Well... maybe it's beyond words. Maybe we should do like the prophets and open our hearts and truly listen.
(Mulder becomes distracted).
Scully: What?
(He begins looking away from her).
Scully: What?
Mulder: Did you hear that?
Tumblr media
Nothing Lasts Forever (11x09)
Mulder: Well, what are you talking about, Scully? Because I don't know if any god is listening, but I am standing right here. And I am listening. Right beside you. I'm all ears. That's my choice.
Scully: (looks around church to see that they are alone, whispers something inaudible in his ear, then continues talking in normal voice) That's not my four-year-old self looking for a miracle. That's my leap of faith forward. And I'd like to do it together.
Fox Mulder : (he nods) I've always wondered how this was gonna end.
(He reaches for a taper and lights another prayer candle)
Tumblr media
Even the final shots demonstrate the shift in Mulder’s perspective.
The end of Babylon depicts two people who become insignificant when lost in the details of a bigger picture.
NLF shows the power and beauty of two soulmates wholly committed to being each other’s worlds.

i think i liked it better when i didn't understand the obsession with platonic vs romantic. whenever i was watching the x files, all throughout my life, it didn't matter because the love between mulder & scully was always so obvious to me. i cannot express how genuinely i love their relationship and journey. their love & the setbacks & struggles & the lengths they go to, and how nothing ever stopped them. they just took their time. i think there's something so special about it.

BREAKING NEWS !
are you an x-files fan in the market for a new quirky 90s television show to hyperfixate on?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
one with people who claim not to be a couple but stand way too close together with way too much sexual tension? AND who both call each other by their last names?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
one with a quirky heartthrob who’s somehow both a genius and a loser with endearingly terrible taste in ties?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
well have i got the show for you !

As a seasoned X-Files fan I've never understood why people like crossing it over with goomens and making Crowley Scully (besides their obvious superficial similarities, those being red hair, occasional round glasses, and immensely cunty demeanors). I like Crowley far too much to say he'd be Mulder, but I definitely like Aziraphale enough to say he's totally the Scully of the group (more by-the-book, attentive to rules, traditionally "smart" in a nerdy, bookish sort of way, lingering Christian devotion, immensely cunty demeanor)

THE X-FILES 30TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
30 years ago today, my mother sat down to watch a brand new show called The X-Files after putting my brother and I to bed, and thought to herself "hmm 🤔 this creepy little show would be of interest to my precocious 10-year old daughter" 👽
Sure enough, she let me stay up late the following Friday and I was immediately hooked. So began a now thirty year obsession with this show that is just as strong today. Did I have nightmares after watching it? Yes. Did I enjoy the thrill anyway? Also yes. There's a reason why I'm an avid crime and horror junkie now as an adult 😉
I've been told many times over the years that I shouldn't be so attached to it, but it was so much more than "just" a TV show to me. It was monumental for my pre-teen self to watch Dana Scully being depicted as a strong female character holding her own in a male-dominated world. She was respected first and foremost because of her intelligence and expertise, and her male partner treated her as an equal above all else, even if they didn't agree on each other's theories.
She was a role model unlike anything else on TV at the time (my mom didn't let me watch 90210 or Baywatch but this, this was fine lol). And though I myself didn't follow Scully's footsteps into a career in science, medicine or law enforcement, I was still shaped by her character. Beyond learning oodles of random trivia from this series, I learned the importance of trust & faith, perseverance, resiliency, and tenacity.
Visually, the show was a cinematic masterpiece. I appreciate that aspect more and more the older I get. And while some of the costumes and technology used on the show may seem dated now, the cinematography and special effects still hold up to this day.
And, ohhh, to top it all off, at its core the show was a love story. Not only was the chemistry between Gillian & David absolutely magnetic, but there was something about the slow burn between the characters that captured my interest; how they were such opposites who complimented/completed the other. It's likely why my relationship with my husband works so well, because we challenge and inspire one another in the same way that was modeled by Mulder & Scully's dynamic.
Today's anniversary is a special one and I'm grateful that my mom took a chance as a parent and shared this show with me (and later supported my obsession) ❤️
