Okay I know better than to post my face on tumblr but i lowkey got a Scully-bob (i cut it today) so do with that information what you will
“No, for some reason I don’t think that would work. Hasn’t your landlord always hated you?”
“Yeah, I have no idea why.” Mulder watched as Scully made a show of looking around his apartment, first at the basketball on the floor, then to the collection of porn tapes in the cabinet under the T.V., then to the half open door of his “bed room” where a cardboard box filled with manilla files was wedged in the door.
“Yeah. I wonder,” She responded flatly, “There’s no way he’s letting you stay. Listen,” she was going to regret this, “You can stay with me until you find somewhere else.”
Mulder stared at her in awe like she’d grown white wings and there was suddenly a halo floating above her head. “You mean it-”
“Just until you find a new place,” She said firmly, more to herself than him.
"He took the passport camera and all the film in the store. He also took morphine, scopolamine, hydrobromide and insulin syringes. He's making more twilight sleep." // "He wants to continue his work."

When i tell you that i rented the movie and recorded this scene on my phone so it is in my camera roll
I think it starts as sarcasm. Like when you call someone “hon” to be condescending. Lucy says something so outlandishly dumb at 3:30 am when they’re having toast after a case it prompts Lockwood to say “Lucy, my dear, i think it’s time for you to go to bed.”
And it’s just that one time, a fluke, till the next day. Lucy is listen during a case and hears something particularly jarring. She presses her hands to her ears and starts mumbling “stop. Shut up. Shut up shut up stop-“ Lockwood gently pries her fingers from her head, knocking her out of the trance like state.
“Hey, Lucy darling, it’s ok we’re here.”
Im sure i could think of more but phone typing sucks bye
new hc that lockwood starts to call lucy a bunch of different endearments and neither one of them notice at all. accidentally oblivious to the fact that lockwood will say “lucy, dear.” or “lucy, darling.” without thinking. it’s a lot of saying her name first and then adding the little endearment whenever he starts out a sentence or a question. “lucy, dove.” “luce, sweetheart.”
george is so close to sticking his own head in the oven when he hears lockwood call her love and neither of them blink. how can two people worry so much about if they’re staring at each other too much but once pet names are involved it’s as if they’ve been married for years? please get him some help.
A fucking love fanfic recs ive seen so my good ones recently
I - P (91 Stories)
I finished two parts of this undertaking before I remembered that Gossamer doesn’t allow direct-linking. So all of the links will appear broken. Sorry about that. The stories with links can be found on Gossamer by either title or author.
In 2002 I went through Gossamer and saved a bunch of my favorite XF fanfics. Some I saved years before, before they were pulled from the archives. If I were going to introduce someone to the world of XF fanfiction - one of the most insanely prolific fandoms ever (not everything - not even a tiny percentage of the good stuff - is posted at ff.net or ao3) - these are some of the ones I’d choose. This list is by no means exhaustive; some stories were lost to time, some were pulled and I will respect the author’s wishes and won’t repost them even if I have the saved files. I’m including links to the ones still archived at Gossamer and titles/authors of the others so you can hunt them down if you so choose via wayback machine.
Godspeed, X-Philes. Walk with me down memory lane.

Personally I’m angst lover and I love the moments where angst forces emotion from characters. They couldn’t have killed Scully and we all knew that, but there was something about watching Mulder not know that is so txf. It’s so “he wants to believe” that she will get better while while still not knowing how exactly that is possible and her being completely convinced (after Momento Mori) that she will be dying and, “no Mulder don’t fight me in this, it’s a fact” that is just so in line with the entirety of the show. And while I’ve also not seen a lot of fics where Scully doesn’t get cancer I also think that a lot of caner arc fics dont get a lot of love. I understand people sometimes just want to read something feel-good and cute but don’t knock the emotional catharsis of watching two people who are madly in comfort each other through the fact that they are about to be ripped apart until you try it.
Y’all should go read “I Never Got Over Those Blue Eyes (I See Them Everywhere)” by HeavyOnTheTragedy on AO3 because shameless self promotion
no no you guys don't get it. the x files cancer arc was, excuse the pun, a fucking white whale of a tv plotline that would not have worked nearly as well on literally any other show. it was a complete hail mary. the writers' room nearly didn't make it happen because they were worried it would fall too deeply into soap opera territory. and on any other show, it would! but the x files is about four key things: mistrust in the government, faith in both science and the otherworldly, building a life around trauma, and the fine line between love and codependency. it is the only show where the entirety of this situation- a government experiment on an unwilling young catholic leads to a terminal illness that is counteracted by a literal scientific miracle in the eleventh hour due to her partner's refusal to accept her impending death- could both happen at all and happen well. none of the themes in the cancer arc were new to txf at all. they'd all been lurking, to some extent, in the background since the pilot. the cancer arc wasn't merely milking a left-field catastrophe for the drama, it shoved the overarching themes of the show to the front and said look. look what these people are to each other. look how impossible it is to face the darkness alone. regardless of when the plotline was conceived, it was always going to happen. it was the only way the story could have ever gone. they were always doomed from the beginning
Chapter 14 of A Muse, a Myth, a Mortal is UP
In the morning he left before she did. In the office he didn’t make a move to put his hand on what had become its usual place on her back and he failed to make it home for dinner.
On the third day of this, when Mulder gave her a wide berth in the kitchen as she went to move past him, Scully snapped. “Mulder, what is wrong with you?” Mulder nearly spit out his coffee.
“Pardon?” he choked out. Scully put a hand on her hip and gave him a severe look that was in no way negated by the Flinstone’s pajama pants she was wearing with her UMaryland sweatshirt.
WETWIRED MAKES ME FERAL IVE SEEN THAT EP SO MANY TIMES
THE X-FILES 3.23 ↠ Wetwired
DIVORCE ARC???
Fuck am I gonna have to watch my parents get divorced again???
The x files… the themes… WHAT HAPPENED!!!!! If the x files had stuck to its theming it literally would’ve been the fact that Mulder and Scully loved each other that would save the day. But instead they decided to hurt them over and over and they never got their happy ending. Divorce arc and family members dying one by one and they never get anything they want and the grief is overwhelming and THATS NOT EVEN THE POINT OF THE SHOW!!!’ ITS JUST THE DRAMA FOR TELEVISION!!!!!
If youd like to listen to me ramble about it I do that now and also i write fanfiction (a HeavyOnTheTragedy on AO3)
