Fox Mulder appreciation post

I really do think it’s just… ironic and depressing that despite how much CC clearly believed he took the Worst Elements out of his conspiracy theory basis for stuff (being the antisemitism, racism and white supremacy stuff) that, on the “spectrum” of UFOlogy and related beliefs, the mytharc still falls hard on the side of what you’d call “dark sider” lore of the Doty-and-Lear variety from the 70s and 80s. Which on one hand kind of figures for a show that’s noir-to-horror as much as it’s anything else, but I wonder if the desire to cling to that is a part of why there’s just barely any effort put into trying to reckon with a lot of even the most basic details around shadow governments and eugenics.

Cool agents.

Speaking of Mulder and mental health, I see his paranoia about keeping Scully safe in particular as a manifestation of anxiety post Samantha (justified in his world, obviously) but it doesn't get framed as that in the original show because action heroes can't have mental health issues aside from when we want Mulder to try to kill himself and only then for like 30 seconds

we need more pathetic female characters written by authors who don't hate women

Everybody I know at 25:

“Ohhh so my partner and I got married and ohhh we bought our first home together and ohhh, I started working at this place and ohhh we’re having our first child together and we’re going on holiday here etc etc etc blah blah blah”

Me at 25:

“I’m chronically ill, chronically single, unemployed, depressed and spending all my time watching a tv show that came out over 30 years ago AND MULDER AND SCULLY HAVEN’T EVEN KISSED YET AND I’M DEEPLY UPSET ABOUT IT”

IS THAT A REFERENCE???

Hiya tumblr txf fans. Y'all might like this little silly comic sort of thing i did a while back!

Anyway. Suffice it to say that I identify strongly with Scully for a whole lot of personality, mental health, and neurodivergence reasons (and yes, as someone on that spectrum, Scully reads way more that way to me than Mulder at any given point), and that is exactly why I don't think Scully is this beautiful little angel martyr who never did anything wrong in her life ever.

In many ways her lack of communication + big emotional outbursts + contradictory impulses and lies about what she wants are the main reason she's stuck in a situation where Mulder keeps hurting her, her family keeps hurting her, and she keeps ending up with less than what she wants.

if you don't say what you want and need, don't set any boundaries, blow up with 'people ask too much of you' or you get overwhelmed (without at any point saying you're getting overwhelmed or that the stress is getting to you or that you're not getting what you're hoping for from the people around you) and then lie and deflect when asked what's wrong and what you do want, then yeah, you're not going to get what you want because absolutely no one knows what you're 'hinting' about or trying to make happen. what's more people will end up treating you like an emotionally fragile bomb to diffuse, who might decide to trash the whole relationship if asked to modify your behavior, instead of someone who can deal with a conversation about wants and needs in a two way exchange.

That kind of avoidant-hostile behavior makes a lot of no-win situations that you created for yourself, and then the other person conveniently takes the blame for both of you a lot of the time.

So yeah, seeing a lot of myself in Scully is exactly why I sometimes say i think Mulder can do better and why I don't think he put them in the acrimonious, tense relationship they were in in much of s4, s5 and s6. Sure, he got fed up and started snarking back and distancing himself as the holding pattern wore on and Scully kept up a pattern of extreme neediness and avoidance-with-prejudice. But he wasn't 'pushing her away' or 'punishing her' or 'being consumed by guilt,' it reads as him responding to her surprisingly consistent pattern of on screen behavior, which. I'd bet that if someone's playing emotional yo-yo with you, you'd get snappish and withdrawn, too.

And yes, ultimately I don't think they can stay apart. And yes part of me wants to see Mulder always forgive Scully for her behavior because it's a comforting fantasy for me. But it's also a cathartic fantasy for me to see him make her confront and deal with the consequences of her mind games sometimes because it's a way to help me make sense of the times people I cared about have cut me out of their lives "for no reason."

And no it isn't 'more equal and fair' to erase her flaws and always let her off the hook.

even more smoll scully and mulder holds her gently 🥺❤️

The X Files S2 E8 - One Breath

Can we talk about how when the doctor is talking to Margaret and Mulder about Scullys living will and how MULDER SIGNED IT AS A WITNESS??!!! Mind you they have only known each other for about a year at this point. Which kinda implies that they’d known each other for a little less than a year when she asked him to sign it. THATS INSANE, THEY’RE LITERALLY INSANE!!

I wonder how much Mulder thinks about all the weird mutant people who he'll never meet because they DON'T commit crimes.
