What not hating Kaname really means

[the-most-sublime-fool]

Then, too, at sea—to use a homely but expressive phrase—you miss a man so much. A dozen men are shut up together in a little bark, upon the wide, wide sea, and for months and months see no forms and hear no voices but their own, and one is taken suddenly from among them, and they miss him at every turn. It is like losing a limb. There are no new faces or new scenes to fill up the gap. There is always an empty berth in the forecastle, and one man wanting when the small night watch is mustered. There is one less to take up the wheel, and one less to lay out with you upon the yard. You miss his form, and the sound of his voice, for habit had made them almost necessary to you, and each of your senses feels the loss.

—a sailor's diary entry, on losing a shipmate, ca. 1834 (from Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Henry Dana Jr.)

"I heard a phrase once, somebody was talking about their wife. This was a person who was very inept socially - not the wife, but the man. There were many things said about him that weren't kind, and he said,

‘My wife - who is lovely and social and everything like that - is my human credential.’

It, like, makes him a human being, because people think, ‘If, well, if she can stand him, he must have some humanity within him.’ And sometimes I think about Scully as Mulder's human credential."

- David Duchovny, Inside The X-Files

Skinner: Would you slap your best friend for a thousand dollars?

Scully: I would slap Mulder for free.

Mulder, tearing up: I’m your best friend??? 🥺

(MULDER looks at the kissing couples, then at SCULLY who is watching the TV. He looks at her lips. MULDER leans down toward her. She turns to him. They kiss. For about 7 seconds. Very sweet. They pull apart and look at each other and smile. Perfect.)

MULDER: The world didn't end.

SCULLY: No, it didn't.

(SCULLY gets a wistful, far-away expression.)

MULDER: Happy New Year, Scully.

SCULLY: Happy New Year, Mulder.

Favorite Relationships (no particular order) ↴ Mulder & Scully ⇢ The X-Files

[snailsandpuppy-dogtails]

SCULLY: "It seems like you were acting very territorial..."

(Scully goes to turn away but Mulder stops her, he is touching Scully's necklace)

MULDER: "Of course I was..."

Shut up. Anyone who had any part in this show trying to claim they intentionally tried to tone down the attraction?! You are bullshit. EPISODE THREEEE and he's like "Mine." and she's like "No, yeah you're right, cool." 💀

It feels like more of a Mulder line, but I can’t recall any Mulder&Queequeg moments.? Happy to be proven wrong.

Scully: If I died how much would you miss me?

Mulder: It’s cute you think death could get you out of this relationship.

Dana: You have a dinner date with Rose for seven. What time do you arrive?

Jason: Seven. A.M.

Jason: Case the restaurant, run background checks on the staff.

Jason: Can the cook be trusted? If not I gotta kill him. Replace him with my own guy no later than four thirty.

Dana: ... You're ready.

Jason: Really?

Dana: *laughs* No. Everything you just said was insane.

I've been in a long process of trying to understand the difference between loneliness and solitude. Part of that is not being afraid of being alone, and then getting past that fear, and then starting to separate out what is loneliness, and what is solitude, and what is privacy, and what is secret? What is a natural separation of time and schedule, and what is abandonment—or rejection? What is rejection and abandonment, and what is just people taking space to do their own day or whatever? So, no. Now I don't feel lonely at all. It feels like a big injury that healed.

[Max is walking across the Blackwell Campus when she suddenly finds herself surrounded by Victoria, Taylor and Courtney. Victoria is scowling with a mixture of annoyance and envy.]

Victoria: You. With me. Now.

[Taylor and Courtney grab Max's arms before she can protest. The next moment, Max finds herself getting frog-marched into Victoria's dorm room, where she inexplicably finds Chloe, Rachel, Kate, Alyssa, Brooke, Dana, Juliet and Steph all gathered. All seven girls sport various looks of amusement and confusion at their current situation.]

Max: [Pulling herself free.] Okay, what is this all about?

Victoria: You mean it's not obvious? I want you to tell me exactly how the fuck you managed to pull every girl of note in Arcadia Bay after only three months at Blackwell!

[Max has no answer. In fact, she doesn't seem too sure herself.]

Chloe: [Grins.] Well, me and her are childhood friends who've been crushing on each other pretty much since we first met.

Rachel: [Shrugs.] As it turns out, Chloe's only available as part of a package deal with Max. [Winks at Max before licking her lips.] Not that I'm complaining, of course.

Kate: [Nervous.] She's been nothing but nice to me in all the time I've known her.

Alyssa: I'd have at least six serious concussions if it wasn't for her constantly looking out for me.

Brooke: Eh, Warren turned out to be an ass, and I wanted to be able to say that I Korrasamied.

Dana: She's sweet, nice, cute, and surprisingly good in bed.

Juliet: Same. [Narrows her eyes at Victoria.] Oh and by the way, you're welcome to Zak if you're really that desperate.

Steph: [Shrugs.] After Dana joined, we decided we needed someone who could bring some semblance of order to…whatever this is. I'm a lesbian who manages theatre shit and tabletop games; they figured I was a natural fit for the position.

[A silent pause occupies the room.]

Victoria: ...This isn't fair.

[Victoria turns around and storms out. Taylor and Courtney look at each other, before looking at Max.]

Taylor: So...can we join?

SCULLY: (As Mulder starts untying her): How did you find me?

MULDER: His Mother used to own the house, willed it to the sisters. I played a hunch. A patrolman spotted the car out front.

Her wrists untied, Scully rubs them. She doesn't want to meet Mulder's eyes. She's looking over at Donnie, who's being bound on the floor.

MULDER: Why don't you sit down until someone can take a look at you.

SCULLY (quietly): Mulder, I'm fine.

Mulder looks at her, and tips up her chin. She, then, meets his gaze, and that's all it takes. Her eyes well up, and she begins crying. Mulder's holding her now, though she keeps her arms crossed in front of herself. She, then, allows herself to hold him, to fully let her emotions out. Scully continues to cry in Mulder's arms, while he holds her tight and strong.
