…spending my day off comparing The X-files to Seinfeld…

how to say “I love you” in x-files [5/?] ⤷ 1.03 — “Squeeze”

In our investigations, you may not always agree with me, but at least you respect the journey.

THE X-FILES — 6.19: The Unnatural

THE X-FILES | 3.17

THE X FILES 5.17

But do I really feel the way I feel?

The X-Files + Polaroids

This show right here was my true bi awakening...they're both so damn fine

THE X-FILES (1993-2018) | S06E19 ‘The Unnatural’

I met Gillian first (she was absolutely lovely!) and when I met David (also lovely!) and I told him I'd met Gillian already he insisted I find the page she'd autographed in my journal so he could sign on the opposite page and have their signatures be together. I grew up on the X-Files back when I could never have dreamed I'd get to meet them both one day and that melted my little nostalgic heart.

Absolutely adorable 🥰

I wanna say insightful beautiful things about Mulder and Scully's gorgeous dynamic but my brain is just like

That. Vest.

“I was sure you were dead. Mulder? It's Scully. Dana Scully. Do you know where you are?” // “They came, Scully... the ones that took her. They were here.” // “Here? Or here?” // “On the tapes... the tape. Evidence. Proof. And the transmissions, it's all here.” // “Proof of what?” // “Contact.”

I had you big time...

Happy Anniversary to the show that made me the lore-loving, slowburn-savouring nerd I am today!

I'm from a very nerdy family and we all loved The X Files. I remember reading the companion books for a few series and becoming obsessed with how much detail went into things like the episode titles and every tiny reference. We'd get *so* excited anytime the title card changed. One of the creepiest episodes inspired me to write a poem I love. My big fluffy Maine Coon cat, affectionately known as just Kit, is actually named Kitsunegari as one of a whole litter of X-File episode-honouring kittens 😄

I try to make sure everyone knows about Bree Sharp's glorious pun-filled homage to David Duchuvny. I love figuring out just how many movie stars got their first break on the show (hello Ryan Reynolds, Jack Black etc...). I've hiked round Lynn Canyon Park where so much of it was filmed and felt like I could have literally been in 'Darkness Falls'. My first ever celebrity meet & greet was with Mitch Pileggi and Nicholas Lea and I've since met Smoking Man himself (an absolute delight) and eventually our beloved duo too, a few years apart - Gillian Anderson gave me chilli chocolate and David insisted on signing next to Gillian's autograph. They were both sweethearts (and he especially still lit up at the mention of her name 🥰).

I *love* virtually everything about The X Files (definitely some exceptions 😄) but as someone who values friendship so very highly and whose connection to deeper relationships is rooted completely in this, Mulder and Scully were so much more than a cliché slowburn friends-to-lovers for me, they beautifully exemplified the fact that line can be a little blurred from the start, and that deep genuine mutual respect, trust, care and admiration can be as powerful as, or indistinguishable from, more traditionally depicted romantic love. Their journey and that gorgeous message is one I've subconsciously sought out in so many fictional pairings since and in my own life too.

My little probably demi-of-some-description heart identified with them so much and the wait for what was so adorably inevitable between them was so, so worth it and earned and magical. They were *the* ship, the og sweet, sweet slowburn-but-they-kinda-already-got-there-years-before-the-kiss kinda pairing 😄 (I truly have a pattern of loving this exact scenario!!!)

So yeah, happy anniversary you crazy little show. I laugh, I cry, I'm very grateful and if I could only pick a single show, I want to believe you'll always be the one 👽

They look so in love here 😄

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson — 2013.

One of my favourite things is when two actors have so much sheer visceral chemistry together that it literally doesn't matter what the writers write or the director directs or what the intention ever was 😊

Being a Mulder/Scully shipper (aka everyone except Chris Carter) is such a profoundly confusing experience.

You get gaslit by the showrunner himself because for the first 6(?) seasons the characters are platonic. You get six years of them glancing at the other's lips, standing and walking so closely they're always touching, you get tender touches and warm embraces, you get forehead kisses, you get displays of jealousy and one of them even admitting to being territorial. You get this as soon as the damn pilot.

You get Mulder speaking into Scully's hair, you get Scully cradling and singing to him, you get Mulder making a scene threatening to fight anyone in sight when Scully is returned to the hospital, you get Scully wanting to have his child of all people.

You get that the connection is so profound they only trust the other and would (and have) gone to hell and back for their partner.

You have all of these feelings culminating in the intense way in which they gaze at each other, both directly and when the other isn't looking.

Then you have the actors, who were so horned up and fed up with the tension they went off script and made out like that, the same actors who did photoshoots in bed and kissed at award shows and interviews despite never being together, despite the characters never being canonically a couple. You get David, who when asked if he played it like he wanted Scully, he said he simply played it like he cares about her input and you get Gillian, who kissed David in the mouth before turning to kiss her husband when she won an emmy in 1997.

It's clearly love and although the absence of romance and sex don't make a connection any less legitimate or meaningful, I just don't buy it that there was never supposed to be an attraction from the beginning. That they remained friends for that long.

And still you're left questioning if it isn't all just projection because the two actors are so insanely attractive you can't help but want to see them in a sexual setting. If it's all just two good friends having so much chemistry that it makes it easy to come off as romantic. You're left to wonder if you have just been so blind in your own personal life that you have never so much as seen that kind of connection in marriages, let alone with coworkers. That perhaps you've just never had the fortune of having such a special connection with your platonic friend that you make out just for fun. You're made to believe that what you're seeing isn't desire but a deep understanding and care for the other's well being and happiness.

What is the truth. It's out there and at this point I have to believe it's all a ploy from the shadow government and Old Smokey himself to cover up what everyone already knows. The evidence is right in front of us and they keep trying to veer towards a specific answer and call bias if you don't agree.

back when my aesthetic was “dana scully in her rock n roll era” 👽

Thought I’d finally make an “about me” post so y’all know what you’re getting into.

My name is Deidre, I’m a lesbian and Indigenous musician from Texas and here are some of the things I tend to post about:

Classic rock bands/music (Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, Heart, etc)

Tarot and astrology (I make part of my living doing readings every week!)

LGBTQ/lesbian content/annoyingly cute pics of myself and my gf (for obvious reasons)

Anything vintage/retro

My own band’s music/photos/etc (we are called Red and the Rebels 🍒)

Folk/retro Americana music/aesthetics

The X-Files/Gillian Anderson content bc…well…lesbianism

That about covers the main stuff, but I’m sure I’ll post more random stuff too. As always, feel free to shoot me an ask/message if you wanna chat! ✨
