Happy birthday, X-Files! I discovered to my horror after 15 years of marriage that my husband had never seen you. I am fixing that now and we're partway into the sixth season. I'm impressed at how modern the storytelling is; clunker episodes occasionally, sure, but no dead time on the screen. Every bit of story counts.

What is emotional about rewatches is that you can see everything at once. You see their beginning in the basement office and know everything that is to come, even if they don't yet grasp the impact of that first handshake. Mulder and Scully surf a tidal wave of stories, both canon and not, rising and falling and being reborn from the sea of collective imagination over and over again.

Mulder and Scully live on the way that any of us lives on, in the stories told about us. So, as we give thanks today to CC and the boys of 1013, to David and Gillian and the rest of the cast and crew for bringing these marvelous characters to life, let's also say happy birthday XF fandom. XF is 30 today, but we keep the flame burning, and in our stories, Mulder and Scully are eternal.

#x files #happy 30th #xf fandom #the pilot is magic #the killer kitties ep is still terrible #vince gilligan didn't write a bad episode #mulder and scullly are still the cutest

btw my actual dream steve robin (+ eddie) job is that in the wake of the welcome to HELL i mean hawkins fiasco and in an effort to both boost town morale and benefit from tourism plus governmental aid they ship in a metric shitload of materials and turn lover's lake into a sort of day camp combined summer attraction camping ground. gift shop boat rentals a little area to eat a get back to nature service that's literally just babysitting for a few hours even a little hiking lake tour because it's pretty out there i think :). and as is the nature of humanity a significant amount of people going to hawkins of all places is because it's the place with the mysterious spooky happenings and now there's a LAKE well obviously they've got a lake monster obviously...

so it becomes this sort of unofficial roadside attraction and the kids decide to make it their mission to prove there IS a lake monster (for reasons ranging from "we need to kill it it could be the upside down!!!" to "we need to save it and be it's FRIEND!!! IT'S A DINOSAUR A LIVING LEGEND!!") and like sure maybe the only reason steve applied for the job is to keep an eye on things bc it IS lover's lake but he's also got lifeguard experience plus he never got to camp as a kid.. :(. eddie works the gift shop bc he's insane but the right amount of insane to work at a roadside attraction giftshop and get people to buy little keychains and bullshit merch including the t-shirts HE makes and sells on the side that's like "i saw the HAWKINS LAKE MONSTER" (eddie is also the one who comes up with 99% of the mythology not because of dnd creativeness he just really believes it). robin and steve trade off on the tours + kiosk food service and steve more often than not is the one leading around a group of 11 year olds telling them the most child inappropriate stories known to man because it's the only thing that keeps them quiet they all think he's in like. the mafia and a world renown monster hunter. steve always puts a line of zinc sunscreen on eddie's cheeks and then by the middle of the day there will inevitably be a little bit on his own as well. This is my beautiful world.

#🍦 #and b4 ANYONE says this sounds like a summer camp NO !!! the entire point is it is not a summer camp #its a roadside attraction at a lake. and it is silly #alsoooo i will one day draw all of this definitely and almost don't want to post this either to my ones of followers because it is so #beautiful... too beautiful to release #sts #anyway funnily enough have had this idea for many moons but the xf lake monster ep solidified the need to talk about it #essentially if gravity falls was on a lake. really. also to me the monster is real. of course #because the world is beautiful #also i have a whole separate little thing of like. steve doesnt work the canoes bc the canoes go out to the middle of the lake #sigh..

Ficlet: Changing of Shifts

A/N: I wrote something, albeit short. I have a longer fic that I have been trying to dedicate most of my time and energy to that I hope to have finished in the next few months, but here's a longish drabble in the meantime. Post ep: "One Breath." Added to my drabble collection here. @today-in-fic @improlificinsarcasm

How could this happen? Mulder watched Scully’s comatose body lying perfectly still; it reminded him of the first time he saw a dead body when he was 15 years old at his grandmother’s funeral. But she wasn’t dead. 

“She’s alive,” he whispered. 

Mulder brushed back a stray lock of her red hair instinctively. He had suffered two tragedies in his life: when his sister had been taken and only for it to happen again with Scully. Both times, he could not stop it, either from his own will or larger forces at work stopping him. But this time, like a miracle, she had been returned to him. And for the first time, he found his faith and beliefs challenged. The circumstances were still largely unknown, but she had reappeared as suddenly as she vanished.

“Scully, you just have to wake up,” he told her. “Just open your eyes and call me crazy.”

There was only the dim beeping of the support machines to answer him.

“Fox.” 

He looked up. Mrs. Scully, like a passing ship in the night, came to relieve him. “It’s dawn now. Why don’t you go home, and I’ll take up watch.”

“I can’t,” he told the weary mother. “I need to be here…”

“I’ll call you if she wakes up. But you staying up at all hours isn’t doing anyone good.”

He was too tired to fight her. “If anything changes…”

“You’ll be the first person I call.”

He nodded and gathered up his jacket. As the hospital staff changed their shifts, Mulder watched Mrs. Scully take up his post. He glanced at his partner before leaving, praying to whoever listened for one more small miracle.

Sometimes you just need to watch one of the best X-Files fanvids. “To Build A Home” by RequiemX.

#video sunday #fan vid #requiemx #remember when fox went on the rampage during the revival #and made fans take down all sorts of stuff #including this vid #way to court the very fans who cared about the revival #and were making quality content to promote the show #good times good times #maybe fox hadn't seen the my struggle eps yet #and thought the revival would all be better than anything fans did #although tbh if fox ever read any xf fanfic #or watched any number of vids #they would know that fans often created things #as good or better than the show ever was #and i say that as someone who has not shut up about this show #for mumblemumble years #and probably likes it more than fox ever did #anyway #this vid is very nice #tags out of control

jodelle ferland as bree in twilight eclipse / five in dark matter

#supernatural #dark matter #twilight eclipse #jodelle ferland #hey i know you #so far s1 of supernatural has been really funny in that all these people who look familiar but really aren't #just so many cookie cutter beautiful people that remind me of someone else #i blame partially the styling especially in first half of the season #i kinda bailed on my xf rewatch and not sure i'll have the commitment to keep track of people i recognize since spn has so many eps #spnhiky #spnwatch

One Breath Walked So Firewalker (and Episodes Proceeding It) Could Run

Baller of The X-Files to follow up One Breath with a story about a man so obsessed with his work that he leads the woman he loves into darkness and death.

It not only serves as a warning to Mulder himself-- following truth into madness ala Grotesque-- but as a parallel and a differentiator: Mulder might lose sight of the dangers (even potentially the human costs) in his hunt for the truth; but he never gives up like Trepkos did. Trepkos, content to count Jesse as a lost cause, withdrew to wait until the fungi had killed the rest of his crew. Mulder, meanwhile, runs back, jeopardizing his own safety to save-- or be with-- his partner, no matter how dire the conclusion may be.

Bold of The X-Files to be absolutely over the top with parallels, too.

When you're really trying this "fake it till you make it" adulting-at-work thing, but then an only-slightly-XF-adjacent thing happens (which of course prompts you to start scrolling Tumblr)....
