On this chilly morning, plum blossoms bloom, and under the vast blue sky, it's a splendid sight. Life presents us with such beautiful moments, and that's why I am alive.

hi yes the most viscerally meaningful x-files episodes to me are those where scully's complicated relationship to catholicism is relevant, including the episode she is not even in when mulder has sex with a pseudo-vampire while wearing scully's cross necklace!!!!

#beesarthur watches the x-files #i CLOCKED that cross necklace from the pilot and thought HM INTERESTING that Scully wears a cross necklace #and i screamed when it became text

The X-Files, 3:11: Revelations

What is the plot? The agents are called to a case with a type of paranormal situation that, in a change of pace, Scully is more willing to believe than Mulder is. Why? Because it can be interpreted within Catholic tradition. Though, to be clear, she's conflicted. The list of unanswered questions in this episode is long and rich, including: Is 10-year-old Kevin a messiah of the 90s? Is his mom's gardener Owen a saint? Is a saint just an unusual person? Is his dad prophetic? Why is he in danger? Was Scully sent by God to protect him??

What does this episode suggest about Mulder and Scully’s relationship with each other? Mulder helps Scully with her coat in a very comfortable way. Scully goes to confession not to confess, but because she needs to talk about the idea of miracles in the Catholic framework and she can't do that with Mulder (who, please note, she describes to the priest as a friend). I feel like this demonstrates an imbalance in their relationship, where Scully is willing to at least talk out Mulder's improbable ideas and he is less open to fully talking out hers. Also, she is, in part, afraid of the idea of believing in miracles, which is something I feel like she and Mulder could have great conversations about if he engaged in the way she would need him to to get there, especially because, as he says emphatically, Mulder is waiting for a miracle everyday!!

Where are the aliens? Mulder wishes they were here

#i would seriously consider wearing a cross necklace again if it would be obvious that i'm wearing it because of scully #this is impossible so i will not do that #but i am obsessed with her cross necklace and its significance #beesarthur hasn't watched the x-files

sometimes i wonder if scully ever leaves reviews for the motels they're staying at.

"acceptable mattress quality, nice sheets, room was burned down by an artist but otherwise okay. 3.5 stars"

"wonderful view, rustic charm, good water pressure in the shower. i was kidnapped in the middle of the night and the lock lasted a surprising amount of time before being kicked in. 4.7 stars"

she takes her field reports very seriously.

Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)

Not everything is fleeting. Some feelings are deep. The fact it isn’t close to me, that I can understand. But I find it sad it isn’t close to you.
