@thexfilesbabe replied to your post “What hill will you die on? (xf related or not)”

ugh the brain disease on Gets Me because imo scully is far more likely to hide something like that from mulder yet when she got diagnosed he was literally the first person she called. no way in hell does mulder let it progress that far without telling her (or without scully noticing something was up for that matter)

Yeah, she does tend to notice when he’s acting oddly.  And she’s always touching his head.  That’s a diagnostic for Brain Disease.

blue !

what do you do when you’re sad? depends, if it’s something minor i’ll usually call my mum or a friend, but if it’s major i’ll probably just put on a movie (the princess bride) and hole up in my room for a while what are some things you do when you can’t sleep? oh i just read or watch a movie what was the best (non-romantic) night you’ve had? hmmm recently it was probably just a 21st that all my friends went to and i met my workmates afterwards and it was fun what kind of covers do you have on your bed? just a plain grey duvet and a sheet who is the last person you told a secret to? oh jesus idk if i have any secrets to tell anymore lol

Xeranthemum- eternity, immortality

“How do I die?” she remembers asking.

“You don’t.”

It haunts her.  She thinks about it in church, when the father talks about life eternal.  She thinks about it every time she and Mulder get into a bad situation.  She tries not to rely on it.  When she gets cancer, she studiously keeps it out of the pages she writes to Mulder.

She’s intrigued, of course, and hopeful, and terrified.  She can imagine outliving her mother, now, but she doesn’t want to.  She can imagine outliving Mulder, though it makes her breath come short and her heart thud.  She can’t imagine outliving everyone she’s ever known.  Her brother Charlie.  Her nephew Matthew.  Her grandnieces and grandnephews, someday, maybe.  

Immortality is a perversion of the promise of the afterlife.  She’s sure Clyde Bruckman didn’t see it that way.  After all his visions of death, it must have been a relief to see her.  It must have comforted him to have her as a vision of eternity after every tawdry, sordid, bleak end he’d glimpsed.  He must have felt like he was giving her a gift.  She wishes she could pass it on to someone else.

She kneels and wonders when she’ll ask God for release.
