mulder: we're stuck in a timeloop and blow up every single time, sometimes one of us gets shot, we're stuck on this stupid monday, i am having the worst day in fucking ever, my waterbed had a leak, i got abducted by aliens, we're having a baby
scully: since when do you have a waterbed??????????
i can't get over how offended she is that mulder has a waterbed she doesn't know about. scully really went if you get a bed it will be OUR bed, otherwise you'd choose the shittiest mattress known to mankind.
the real x file is that mulder has never (almost) crashed the car because he couldn't take his eyes off of scully.
skinner considers jumping out of his office window after getting a report like "automobile accident caused by scully taking off her blazer, 238 injured, 10 dead. there may have been bare calves too"
I know I'm like nearly 30 years years behind but lately I haven't been able to stop thinking about the 1996 Rolling Stones X-files photoshoot. Specifically this shot of David, eyes closed and topless, snuggled into Gillian's side.
Honestly, when I see that I only see sweet baby Mulder, finally sleeping, in need of comfort, finally resting because Scully's in his arms and he doesn't need to be scared she'll leave or something bad will happen to her.
Mulder has gone through so much emotional turmoil, so much emotional rejection from his family, and then he meets Scully. You can't say this man is not a cuddler and that the only good nights sleep he ever gets is when he's tucked up next to Scully. He's at peace.
