thinking of scully's love letters and "that you should know my heart, look into it, finding there the memory and experience that belong to you, that are you" and "chance meeting your perfect other, your perfect opposite - your protector and endangeror" and "the forces against us are unrelenting, but so is my determination, to see you again...until then, i remain forever yours, dana" and pages upon pages upon pages of sprawling cursive and "i hope that in these terms you might know it and know me" and "mulder, i feel you close, though i know you are now pursuing your own path. for that i am grateful, more than i could ever express,” she was a repressed catholic scientist harboring this kind of gothic enduring desperate love, just bleeding out of her when given the chance

#me to my platonic work partner in my death journal: i need to know you’re out there if i am ever to see through this #she knows exactly what she wants to leave behind #she knows exactly who she is and what she feels and how deeply she feels it #even if it rarely escapes her control #txf.txt #memento mori #trust no 1 #I JUST REALIZED I FORGOT ‘your beautiful mind’ #and her amor fati journal to him that’s supposed to be field notes but is really just about fear and feeling that she’s failing him #‘i feel you slipping away from me with every minute i fail here’ 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Amor fati is a Latin phrase that may be translated as "love of fate" or "love of one's fate". It is used to describe an attitude in which one sees everything that happens in one's life, including suffering and loss, as good or, at the very least, necessary.

finding icons of this man is hell. anyways, tag dump time + meanings/translations under the cut! (decided to have fun and so none of the tag lines are in english. oops)

“amor fati” - translates to “love is fate”. a proposed alternate worldview to contrast “memento mori”;  Nietzsche believed it to be more affirmative of live  “dies tenebrosa sicut nox“ - translates to “ a day as dark as night “.  “qui salvándos salvas gratis“ - translates to “ Who dost free salvation send us “. taken from the song city of the dead by eurielle which was, in turn, taken from the hymn “dies irae” “memento mori” - “remember that you will die”  “obscurum per obscurius“ - an explanation is less clear than what it tries to explain “ab antiquo“ - from ancient times  “dramatis personae“ - more literally translates to “the masks of the drama”, it refers to the cast of a dramatic work “mortui vivos docent“ - the dead teach the living. often used to justify the dissection of human cadavers to understand the cause of death. “ad astra“ - to the stars “fortiter in re, suaviter in modo“ - resolute in execution, gentle in manner “ira furor brevis est“ - wrath is but a brief madness “fiat iustitia et pereat mundus“ -  let justice be done, though the world shall perish “flagellum dei“ - the scourge of God “per aspera ad astra” - through hardships to the stars  “domine salvum fac regem” - O Lord, save the king  “nemo malus felix“ -  peace visits not the guilty mind aka. “no rest for the wicked” “aqua vitae“ - directly translates to “the water of life”, it is also used to refer to certain distilled beverages  “hoc est bellum“ - this is war  “dis manibus sacrum“ - “ Sacred to the ghost-gods “, it refers to the Manes (roman spirits of the dead). It has been inscribed on Pagan headstones.

“Два сердца это перебор“ - not latin but russian due to Urd’s ruling over russia; from the song “ Сердце получает нож “ by Pholo, it translates (roughly) to “two hearts is too much”. (The full line is also translated in the remix of the song by Ferry as “My darling, don’t you think us having two hearts is too intense?”)

#Emil Melmoth - “Memento MoriAmor Fati”

[departingthefirmament]

The fire it burns, as the light emparts it's radiant glow on all it encounters.

All they can be are words. Concepts that once founded and maintained civilizations, forever lost through translation into this downwards pointed Earth. Made into little plastic "made in china" idols, sanctified in a shrine of vanity, used for posturing and to build an army of paper tigers to recruit other's into ones influence. It's a shame, really. We have built our foundation upon the back of a husk. Maintained only due to manufactured complacency through underhanded means. Maybe one day we can return to the ideal and preservation of beauty and truth, but for now it just feels like time to ride the tiger. Take no shit. ~

life is not a race and you’re not behind

i’m excited about the james webb images

and images of the telescope itself

i like calling my husband hubble, i wonder if he’d call me webb...

i now pronounce us hubble and webb

maybe we can have a hamster named pebble

and i’d ask to be called webble just to fit in.

i have his birthday gift downstairs. 

i was worried the guards would alert him when he left

but luckily there wasn’t free parking available tomorrow

so he had to go to the basement to get the car from the paid parking

sometimes bad stuff that happen end up being lucky

i tried an instant coffee with strawberry flavoring in it

but it was too sweet

so i added real coffee

and real strawberries

real milk, and fake sugar

sometimes i just want to try things a little bit 

to replicate them a lotta bit

i was thinking of buying a lavender soap

but it was too expensive and not on sale

there was only one on the shelf

i asked, is this a sign, should i take it

so i put it in my cart, 

and suddenly found a different 

larger, cheaper

lavender soap

maybe it was a sign to take it so i can feel how much better it was to buy the better option

maybe it wasn’t a sign at all

and people just like lavender

and are intimidated by big bottles of soap

it’s so hard to wake up in the morning

i keep giving myself bribes

like coffee, and fake urgency

i need a way to remind myself how the hard things feel better in the long term.

it feels good to clean

it feels good to create things

it feels good to move around

and be in one’s body

in this very short time

in this very small space

compared to the vast infinity of the universe

shown to us by hubble and webb.

An Evolution of Mulder and Scully's Forehead Kisses

Irresistible-- Mulder sows the seeds for a forehead kiss while opening his arms for the second time to Scully:

Memento Mori-- Mulder's first forehead kiss, a victorious celebration of Scully's determination and courage:

Redux II-- A forehead kiss of sorts-- Mulder changed to cheek kisses on Scully's death bed; but changed back after her recovery:

Fight the Future-- Scully gives Mulder his first forehead kiss after reassurance that he needs her; but more were put on pause after Diana Fowley, insecurities, and clashes over a "normal life."

Per Manum-- Mulder reinitiates their ritual after the IVF failure; and Scully, touched, almost makes a further move before deciding not to reshake their newly shifting relationship (a lot was still left unsaid):

Post Amor Fati-- Mulder tells Scully she belongs with him, always; and Scully finally gives him a second forehead kiss, secure with a place forever at his side:

And, as we know, Millennium happened; and the rest is history~.

(Note: Mulder's forehead kisses are directly correlated to his journey with more open physical affection--post here-- while Scully's are linked to her waxing and waning security in their relationship.)

Current Total Mulder: 14 Scully: 14

So how many times did we see Mulder and Scully admitted to the hospital?

Overall Total 🏥 Mulder: 14 Scully: 14

It’s a tie! 🥳

I stated earlier that this is not every time they were injured and not every time they went to the hospital. Instead, it is every time we saw them while they were admitted to the hospital as a patient.

As with everything, this can be calculated in different ways.

There were instances where we saw them go to the hospital for something temporary (Blood, Gesthemane) and there are episodes where they definitely went to hospital, but we didn’t see them (Zero Sum, Never Again).

This also doesn’t take into account variables like length of hospital stay or injury v. illness. It’s impossible to know the full circumstances in some cases and overall to estimate who spent the most *time* in the hospital.

All to say, this was just for fun and I acknowledge it is not comprehensive based on different criteria (so don’t come for me), but I do believe it is every time we see them on screen admitted in hospital gowns.

Saw your tags-- I didn't catch DD's extender antenna until the recent rewatch; but there was always this fantasy element about Home that struck a chord with Mulder, I think (and annoyed Scully)-- baseball memories with his sister, if he'd settle down, genetic muster, etc. It's almost as if he yearned for that normal life whereas Scully had family road trips and annoying older brothers falling out of her ears and was no longer charmed by the imagery. XDD

At the very least, it might be tempting for him to reach something of that sort with a broken motel door between he and Scully. Kind of like Dr. Berenbaum's UFO theory or Phoebe returning or his dreams in Amor Fati or a maybe-promise from Deep Throat to keep stringing him along-- the fantasy "come to life." He can get lured in like that, can Mr. Mulder.

Also, 100% think you're right: until Memento Mori, Scully was focused on other fathers... and then Maggie needs her to be the strong one, and the focus really shifts. o_o' (And not to a good place.)

I think he did idealize this whole happy family small town life cause his own childhood was cut short when Samantha was taken.

Scully had all of that. I mean not exactly like that, but like you said, her childhood was that "normal life". I think sometimes Mulder craves and fears it in equal parts. So maybe that really was going through his head. At least as a fleeting thought. I like that idea.
