to the journey

I feel like we seriously need to talk about these gifs: The oh so gentle way he reaches out and caresses her arm, as much emotional as physical steadying.  The way they turn their faces towards each other in perfect unison. The way they react to jostling somehow by going towards each other (rather than in the same direction)… like their instinct is to come together for support no matter the circumstances.

 Also they both just look really pretty here with their perfect hands and her romantically starting to fall out of its confines hair and their worried little faces and perfect profiles and sad eyebrow raises and glorious cheekbones and his oh so kissable lips.

This so perfect.

You can see that even with the whole crew around them they seek comfort and assurance in each other.

She doesn’t just take his arm - he lays his hand over hers. This is such an intimate gesture. (Also why did that woman have to walk in front of them right then?)

Now look at that. That’s not just relief, that’s “I need to touch you all over to make sure you’re really not dead” relief.

That’s “Let me truly look at you again before I leave you for two seconds in case you die on me again”

And finally, this is “I’ve seen half of my crew down, but Oh God, not him, please not him” angst.

These two are just so close and intimate with each other. 

You called?

I feel like this needs to make the rounds again.

It’s more than worthy, don’t you think?

More than worthy. This post can constantly be on my dash for all I care!

Wow. Such a connection! Live on my dash, kthx. Also that one GIF, #3…can we title it “The Caress”?

There is so much more here than just “captain and first officer.” In any of the gifs, really. Can you imagine Kira going into Sisko’s office with a peace rose, or Riker sobbing over Picard’s body? No. Because the Janeway/Chakotay dynamic is more than that and should have been acknowledged through the end of the series. *sigh* but I guess that’s why we have fanfic

This post is such pure, essential J/C.

They care so deeply for each other and their relationship is just so very special.

She touches him all the time:

But he’s also so concerned with her well being.

And then can I just ask how so far we missed this:

Cause they just hold hands. On the bridge. In front of everyone. Completely unapologetic.

Their love and support of each other is just so damn beautiful.

I must reblog this every time it comes across my dash. It’s in my contract

This post is everything. And should always be reblogged.

I love everything this post chooses to be.

(Also I love that it’s a het ship that isn’t based on haha they’re so incompatible or haha they hate each other, it’s based on they’re each other’s best friend and they love and trust each other.)

I just always need this here.

I’m in love with that fact that this post is going around again.

And while I’m at it:

The flirt is strong….

The simple intimate gesture of touching his foot… my very long married grandparents did that as a sign of affection.

Then to his chest…

And finally a gesture that would have been a kiss had they been alone. 

I’ll conclude with:

Long pat on the *inside* of his knee, that she doesn’t move until he does.   These are two people who are extremely close and intimate with each other. 

And he clearly looks just as good walking out of a room as he does walking into it. ;)

Again all gifs that I just added are by @janewayseyebrow​

I’m looooooving all this soo much!!! My JC shipper heart is so full!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

I need this on my dash again

Ahh, it’s back. I needed some fluff this morning

all i’m interested in lately is love, laughter, my personal health, growth, and becoming an all around radiant soul.

Kate & Leslie are soulmates.

I don’t know your name. Finn, what’s yours? I’m Rey.

Scully and Me

by Gillian Anderson, British Vogue Jan 2016 

Back to investigate the paranormal after a hiatus of 13 years, X-Files star Gillian Anderson talks to Vogue about finding Scully again, and why this time she’s better dressed.

In the beginnning, Dana Scully’s hair was my natural colour, which is as dull as anything.  It was 1993 and I was 24.  After we shot the pilot and The X-Files was picked up for series, our executive producer Chris Carter said: “She’s going red.”  And that’s how Scully became a redhead.  For the next nine years I dyed it on a semi-regular basis, but then the show ended in 2002 I defiantly became a blonde and have been one ever since.

For the 2015 reboot of six episodes, the question naturally came up: to dye or not to dye?  My hair was already falling out from playing so many platinums (Stella in The Fall, Bedelia in Hannibal, Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire), so “wig” was the answer.

Cut to day two of filming in the heart of downtown Vancouver (taking the role of Washington, DC), smack in the middle of lunch hour.  We were drawing crowds, and these days “crowds” means phones, photographs and instant internet activity.  A close-up of my hair was immediately posted online: “It’s not the right red!” (outrage); “The parting is wrong!” (disgust).  Fans ,who know more about the show than any of us making it, were spot on - they had been watching Scully right from the show’s beginning - and a new wig was made.

The X-Files was almost the first thing I had done as an actor.  I had been in theatre in New York and a couple of commercials.  In my early twenties I didn’t understand the TV industry: about the investment of a network, about what it meant when people talking about whether we would get “picked up”.  It all flew by me.  I told the producers I was 27, and went in to the auditions not expecting anything, not knowing what it would mean to be cast in series, or what series actually were.  I didn’t even watch television in those days.  

I liked Scully though, right from the off.  She is very serious: a forensic pathologist and a famous sceptic, she is very authoritative.  And a genius.  Well, both she and her partner Mulder, played by David Duchovny, are, in that they know the answers to any scientific, historical, geographic or anthropological query that arises.

We made 202 episodes in the end, over nine seasons, and worked long 16-, 17-hour days.  David and I were in almost every scene for years - often at night, in the rain, on location.  So much of it was shot in the dark, with us lighting ourselves by flashlight, in all kinds of weather, and in the forest.  Oh, the forests.  When the show finally moved to Los Angeles I can’t say we missed them, or the weather, but Vancouver really did set the mood for the show in a fundamental way.  

And then there’s that undeniable chemistry between the two of them, the two of us, David and me.  That was present from our first exchange.  That thing that drove fans crazy, regardless of whether David and I were even speaking to each other at any given time.  You can’t fake that.  It’s bigger than the two of us, and is there for the service of the series and its fans.
