how to find extraterrestrials (a guide by fox mulder)

step 1) have a sister who was abducted by aliens

step 2) join the fbi

step 3) fall in love with your fbi partn- wait a minute

The Scene from the x files pilot, as seen on my 1999 crt tv :)

look at him. not a SINGLE thought happening upstairs. he is smitten beyond anything science can quantify

downstairs, however—

Unruhe has such a grasp on me. the way mulder is looking at scully. the way she is looking at him. the fact that he RUNS after the car screaming her name. the complete emotional breakdown only staved off by needing to find her and find her fast.

and when he does find her they just keep screaming each other's names like that alone will bring them back together like two magnets ripping through everything between them.

and then there's this parallel that just. rips out my heart. looking at the same picture and being incredibly fucked up over it.

couldn’t decide which i like better so here’s two 🪐

come home to me mr and mrs spooky i miss you

Sorry, no Bridget Jones movie for DD.

I’ve never jived with the idea that Fox Mulder is a sex machine or, forgive the pun, a fox. I think he wants to be when he’s a young man. He studies how to be that person, approximates most of the right moves, and then the thrill is gone. He ditches more lunch dates and regular dates than he actually attends, and that plus the spooky appellation through the FBI means that through the grapevine he acquires a reputation as hard to get at best, a cad at worst. If you think about it, did he ever really see a healthy romantic relationship growing up? Sure, his parents loved one another once upon a time but there were secrets upon secrets between them both, and after Samantha was taken everything crumbled. Fox Mulder is not a stud. Fox Mulder is a mess.

Fox Mulder cosplays as the cool, sexy jock because it's the safest role he knows.

you guys are on fire - gotta keep @thursdayinspace’s tags for posterity:

yes!!#and I think he longs for something he can never quite define?#partly because he didn't see it growing up#he lets himself be used easily and thinks that's just how it works#in turn he might do the same to others without meaning to#he always wants too much or not enough#and he's a romantic deep down#which is a thing he most likely doesn't know about himself#he wants something meaningful but simply doesn't know what that looks like#which is also why it makes sense that it takes him a while with scully#because the categories friend - partner - lover are separate for him#he didn't see his parents being friends and it doesn't seem like he had any real friendship with his former romantic partners#he wants things he can't quite grasp but his lonely soul isn't satisfied with random hookups#he'd rather let himself be used because then at least he feels needed#except that hurts too so he doesn't risk it#so he doesn't date much and he doesn't hook up much#it doesn't hold the thrill for him that he thinks it ought to

i just woke up and this is the first message i saw. i think i have been fundamentally changed as a person, looking at this is rewiring my brain

thank you to @sentientsky for also being obsessed with msr sr. and yelling with me over it in dms.
