Fox Mulder doesn't have the "I Want To Believe" poster there because he's crazy. He doesn't have it there to broadcast his beliefs or as a mantra or to remind him to always look for aliens.

Fox Mulder keeps that "I Want To Believe" sign above his desk to remind him of his own internal biases.

That sign hangs above Mulder's desk to remind him of his own shortcomings and flaws. He's aware that he's a hack with dangerous beliefs and prone to flights of fancy and maybe even delusions. He's aware that he's desperately searching for aliens and monsters where there are only men doing bad things. And he has to remind himself of that, constantly.

That's why he's thrilled when he meets Scully and she challenges his beliefs, says that logically aliens don't exist. He's thrilled when she tells him to cut the crap in the pilot episode. He needs someone to challenge him. He needs someone who won't take his shit and put up with his flights of fancy. And he knows it. He's been dealing with himself for years and he feels relief and joy when Scully comes in and says enough of your bullshit. We're doing this my way. With science and logic. He isn't smiling and teasing her because he thinks he's smarter and better than her. He's smiling because she's exactly the person he needs in his life.

That's why he tells her right away that he's a UFO freak with trauma about his sister and a true believer. Not because he's trying to convince her to believe, but because he needs her to understand where he's coming from and what's wrong with him. So she can understand that either he's a dangerous lunatic himself, or he's delving into a dangerous conspiracy and either way she could be collateral damage if she stays with him. He spends the pilot episode reckoning with the idea that either he's a maniac or he's pulling this young fresh detective into danger. When she starts agreeing with him he gets upset, talks her out of it.

Mulder keeps that sign above his desk to remind himself to look into the "reasonable logical" explanations. He keeps that sign on his desk because he knows he's flawed and biased and frankly, dangerous.

He tells Scully exactly what he thinks is happening and about all the crazy stuff he believes not because he's trying to convince her to believe too, but so she can be his sounding board. So she can throw his illogical bullshit back in his face and remind him to look past his own biases and paranoia and quasi-religious zealotry. Because he knows he needs that. He knows he's in a conspiracy brained echo chamber of his own making and having a slow-burn mental breakdown. And he sees Scully as salvation from himself. As another figure in his quasi-religious belief system. The savior.

As the series develops he relies on her more and more to reality check him. Literally reality check him and manage what he worries might all be a delusion.

Mulder pretends he's confident and all the constant criticism and sidelong glances don't get to him and that might be true because he doesn't respect those people but he respects Scully. And he needs someone he respects to tell him when he's wrong, when he's being biased or actively delusional. Scully is his salvation. She's compassionate about his trauma and the reasoning behind his beliefs, but confident and logical enough to tell him when it's all bullshit. She's his savior, his rock, and often his only real connection to material reality.

shows with episodes that are literally just gay fluff fics are my favourite

#sanders sides #thomas sanders #honestly I don’t mind the short episodes. he’s creatively experimenting with format with characters I love so i am not complaining #sure I will become a complete maniac when the finale releases #but I love the chill content! literally it’s canon fanfiction what’s not to love!!!!

knowing that right now, closer than usual, the cast is playing as their beloved mighty nein characters again and I can't watch it yet is making me a bit feral.

#oh to be a critter in that audience right now #I both desire and dread catching up with cr #the stories are a load bearing pillar of my current mental health so wtf am I gonna do when I run out of daily episodes #move on to d20 I guess #and then probably rewatch c2 like a maniac #I'm good I'm fine I'm ok I'm fine #anyway essek better show up #critical role #cr2 #foldycr #echoes of the solstice #m9 #mighty nein #mighty nein reunion

the problem about the finale is in a lot of ways it’s like one of those funhouse hall of mirrors that show you fucked up distorted reflections and though it doesn’t really necessitate anything longer than walking through looking at the reflections for a minute or two going huh look at that and then leaving my brain keeps going hey remember those fucked up little images. remember the weird reflection. perhaps we should consider them again. here look [I am deluged by fucked up distorted reflections in my mind’s eye]

#it appeals to the ‘hey would that be fucked up or what’ aspects of my human nature #all this to say I have not physically watched the episode proper since november 19th 2020 and I have no desire to. but I do sometimes #rotate elements in my brain while funhouse music plays and a clown’s maniacal giggle echoes somewhere in the twisted halls. i was bill #pounding on the glass while some kid gets eaten by said clown then the scene flipping immediately back to normal glass making me question #my perception of reality. i think ive lost the plot of this metaphor

My dearest wish for the new seasons of Phineas and Ferb is that the fact that Jeremy Johnson canonically does LARPing comes up in more storylines

#the fact that he’s hiding this from her while she hides that she does ducky momo cosplay is absolute gold #and just in general we need more of him making a fool of himself to try to impress Candace #actually what would be hilarious is if we get a rehash of an old episode where Candace is trying to impress him but from his perspective #and it turns out he was ALSO running around like a maniac trying to impress HER #double plot twist Stacy turns out to be acting as wingman for both of them #Phineas and Ferb #jeremy johnson

the urge to rearrange my room, read 17 books, write 50 poems and finish a 15-season series at 3am it's unmatched

Guys I’m seeing marchil stonks going up in real time apparently episode 5 really spread the good word omg. I’m so happy

I was just gonna say that but then I figured I might as well put all the interactions I found fun on here. They are such a package deal. I’ve said it once I’ll say it again but, coworkers like traumabonded kittens you should not separate bc it’s them against the horrors of the rest of the workplace

Him: "I can’t stand her ass" Them 3 mins later, sitting together at lunch and kicking their feetsies like besties

Sharing the mural just as a reminder. So chill and normal about this. Also pic below is under cut bc I knoooow he’s looking at Falin, but for a sec imagine that it’s him staring at her, that is all thank u
