Me After Singing All The Colors Of Joseph’s Coat Unprompted To My Mother: No Big Deal, We All Have

Omg

morning

I’m watching the episode of Buffy where they find out Oz is a werewolf and its got me wondering what would happen if a werewolf bit a vampire. Like, if a vampire bit a werewolf nothing would happen because they would also need to drink the vamps blood

WAIT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THEY BIT EACHOTHER

Personally I’m angst lover and I love the moments where angst forces emotion from characters. They couldn’t have killed Scully and we all knew that, but there was something about watching Mulder not know that is so txf. It’s so “he wants to believe” that she will get better while while still not knowing how exactly that is possible and her being completely convinced (after Momento Mori) that she will be dying and, “no Mulder don’t fight me in this, it’s a fact” that is just so in line with the entirety of the show. And while I’ve also not seen a lot of fics where Scully doesn’t get cancer I also think that a lot of caner arc fics dont get a lot of love. I understand people sometimes just want to read something feel-good and cute but don’t knock the emotional catharsis of watching two people who are madly in comfort each other through the fact that they are about to be ripped apart until you try it.

Y’all should go read “I Never Got Over Those Blue Eyes (I See Them Everywhere)” by HeavyOnTheTragedy on AO3 because shameless self promotion

no no you guys don't get it. the x files cancer arc was, excuse the pun, a fucking white whale of a tv plotline that would not have worked nearly as well on literally any other show. it was a complete hail mary. the writers' room nearly didn't make it happen because they were worried it would fall too deeply into soap opera territory. and on any other show, it would! but the x files is about four key things: mistrust in the government, faith in both science and the otherworldly, building a life around trauma, and the fine line between love and codependency. it is the only show where the entirety of this situation- a government experiment on an unwilling young catholic leads to a terminal illness that is counteracted by a literal scientific miracle in the eleventh hour due to her partner's refusal to accept her impending death- could both happen at all and happen well. none of the themes in the cancer arc were new to txf at all. they'd all been lurking, to some extent, in the background since the pilot. the cancer arc wasn't merely milking a left-field catastrophe for the drama, it shoved the overarching themes of the show to the front and said look. look what these people are to each other. look how impossible it is to face the darkness alone. regardless of when the plotline was conceived, it was always going to happen. it was the only way the story could have ever gone. they were always doomed from the beginning

I love Mulder’s reaction to Monica Reyes. He’s like you’re me but the only reason YOU haven’t been punched in the face is because you’re a woman.

“Goddamn it they missed” we all say in unison

“A 50yr old man today told me he ‘had to let me know that im a beautiful young lady’ at work today and like it was creepy but sir i haven’t washed my hair in five days be so for real”

This and detour were the little apology between cancer arc and emily arc and i called that bullshit

My happy place.
