lol saw your anti color blind mulder post. I’d love to hear your explanation!!

Okay so people did see it:

BASICALLY red-green color blind means you either see red as green or green as red, which we all know right? (I had to learn extensively about this in my biology class, because what is biology class if not a way to help me understand the x-files) obviously, this never changes, it cant just flip one day, and yet fox mulder is continuously shown to be able to tell the difference between red human blood and green “alien blood” this is shown in the erlenmeyer flask, colony, and nisei just to name a few examples. So clearly Mulder is not red-green color blind, right, the writers messed up, so the real question is what is the canon explanation.

I have two: either mulder was so out of his mind with worry for scully that he needed to ask the gunmen about that theory and just says that cuz its the first thing that pops into his head

OR

He fell asleep while he was supposed to be watching the tapes and didn’t want them to know ig

Anyway I wrote a wetwired fanfic if Mulder wasn’t “colorblind” because i feel very passionately about it

Fox Mulder is so Johnny Cash coded. Not like Johnny Cash as a person, but his music. Not one specific song just the entire vibe, committing crimes, sometimes super silly and sometimes heart breaking. Scully and Mulder are Jackson in the most teasing way possible

Ive thought about this alot

Gossamer.org, how the fuck does it work, i’m so confused i am lost without a search feature

My unpopular hot take is that I don't think Maggie Scully is nearly as open and warm and purehearted as fandom likes to think she is

A fucking love fanfic recs ive seen so my good ones recently

The Big Damn XF Fanfic Rec Post - Part 2

I - P (91 Stories)

I finished two parts of this undertaking before I remembered that Gossamer doesn’t allow direct-linking. So all of the links will appear broken. Sorry about that. The stories with links can be found on Gossamer by either title or author.

In 2002 I went through Gossamer and saved a bunch of my favorite XF fanfics. Some I saved years before, before they were pulled from the archives. If I were going to introduce someone to the world of XF fanfiction - one of the most insanely prolific fandoms ever (not everything - not even a tiny percentage of the good stuff - is posted at ff.net or ao3) -  these are some of the ones I’d choose. This list is by no means exhaustive; some stories were lost to time, some were pulled and I will respect the author’s wishes and won’t repost them even if I have the saved files.  I’m including links to the ones still archived at Gossamer and titles/authors of the others so you can hunt them down if you so choose via wayback machine.

Godspeed, X-Philes. Walk with me down memory lane.

Skinner didn’t really think the Arcadia case was going to be an x-file. They asked him if he knew any two agents who could believable portray a married couple and he said “these babies wont just act like a married couple for their neighbors, they’ll have US questioning weather or not they’re a married couple”

100% watch this show L&co is the loml

hey big fandoms!! can we have help?? please don't hate me for this

I'm going to target the Riordanverse because that's like the only big fandom I have

lockwood and co is coming out on Netflix. it's a show about a world where ghosts suddenly appeared 50 years ago and teens and children are the only ones who can sense them. also if they touch you, you die please watch it please please please pl

why will you like it? um

SIMILARITIES BETWEEN LOCKWOOD AND CO AND THE RIORDANVERSE BOOKS

both are led entirely by stupidly impulsive and sarcastic characters

traumatic backstories

uhh swords

you stab things and stuff yeah swords

angry girl with mommy issues

defying the People In Charge

sad boy who's family died

um let me come back to this

REASONS YOU SHOULD WATCH LOCKWOOD AND CO ANYWAY

we have an evil head in a jar

arguably funnier than pjo (if it's true to the books)

they literally burn down a house

basically everyone is hot

you'll get emotionally attached to said head in a jar

tons and tons of action

scary

there's gonna be romance I'm sure, because I saw the way those two losers looked at each other in the trailer even if it's sooner than they have it in the books

before you ruin it for yourself by saying "well it's gonna get cancelled anyway so why bother" 1) shush give it a chance and 2) if that happens just read the books they're literally amazing

I hope my advertisement that I'm NOT getting paid to do I swear, and am actually doing out of my own time, is convincing

please don't hate me

fic master post

I think I have enough fic at this point to make a master post, collecting them all in one place. Organized chronologically for now, there isn't quite enough to make categories. :)

wild side - G, 1.205 words (AO3 link)

“Hey, Scully?” “Yeah?” “What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done?” Or: sometimes being stuck in the middle of nowhere on a dark and stormy night with your work partner of five-plus years is the best possible version of events.

in conclusion - T, 3.370 words (AO3 link)

It's the middle of the night in a freezing cold motel room and they both haven't slept. The best time and place to figure out how relationships work -- theirs in particular.

time and space - M, 2.604 words (AO3 link)

Sometimes he wonders if it would be easier if she'd be gone from his life completely. Then he reminds himself: if she moved to the ends of the earth he would still want to follow her.

five ways to says "I love you" (plus one including words) - T, 4.501 words (AO3 link)

Just because something is unspoken, it isn't always unsaid. You just have to know what to look for.

sanctuary - T, 1.550 words (AO3 link)

In a world full of lies and fear and darkness, they have each other to be the light and shelter that they need. That's something to hold onto. They watch each other sleep and consider everything that means.

mend into pieces - Explicit, 1.641 words (AO3 link)

There is nowhere she would rather be than here, with him, making the biggest mistake of her life and enjoying every second of it. Every mistake made with him is greater than every win, every success, every moment of perfect joy she has ever experienced. She’ll break herself for him as he does for her. -- Set in early season 2, right after Scully's return.

travel in style - G, 1.401 words (AO3 link)

“I can’t believe there wasn’t a single room available anywhere,” Scully says, snuggling deeper under the jacket she’s using as a blanket, already sounding half asleep as she tilts the driver’s seat back into a reclined position. “Three motels and not one single bed to be found.” Mulder shifts in the passenger seat – which she had insisted he should take because of the leg room – and desperately tries to get comfortable. “That has literally never happened before,” he agrees, sliding the seat back as far as it will go. It’s still too cramped. “God, Scully, how can you ever sleep in the car? You always make it look so easy.”

from this morning forward - Explicit, 7.233 words (AO3 link)

Moving back in happens slowly. It's not a decision, it's not a plan. They've each battled their own demons, and now that the wounds are starting to heal, she's so tired of pretending that she doesn't miss him every day. After all, through the good times and the bad, it's always been the two of them, together. -- Set during the revival era.

it's the day the world didn't end - Explicit, 1.544 words (AO3 link)

The clock ticks over to the day the world doesn’t end and he kisses her. She kisses him back. It’s not a new year’s kiss, it’s a kiss more than six years in the making. -- Millennium fic.

got you covered - T, 2.419 words (AO3 link)

“Is it a bit cold in here?” He wraps his arms around himself, looking at her in her thick cardigan next to him on the couch. “The heating’s broken,” she says. “I’m sorry, I should have called you before you came over.”

words behind the meaning - G, 3.175 words (AO3 link)

He tells her he owes her everything and she owes him nothing. She knows that's not true, but she doesn't get to tell him. Life has other plans. But she knows. And once life lets her, she will tell him. -- Post-Fight the Future: they don't kiss in that hallway, but they get there eventually.

Chapter 7 of A Muse, A Myth, A Mortal is up!!

“Wow Scully,” Mulder said as he sat down, “Remind me what year you graduated from Oxford Psychology?” He asked sarcastically.

“Nineteen Eighty Four,” Scully responded dryly. “I wasn’t trying to steal your thunder Mulder, I’m just saying our investigation here shouldn’t be about magic because magic isn’t real.” Mulder gave her a sly look and she could only guess at what he would say next.

“Wrong! I graduated in nineteen eighty six. I’m insulted that you think I’m thirty two,” he said with a sarcastic smile, “You’re just scared.”
