a lot has been said about Mulder and Scully's dynamic but I think what it ultimately comes down to is Mulder looking at her with his big pleading eyes and saying "let's touch a hot stove together. ok?" and she sighs and is like. sure. will that hurt her? yes but she gets to spend time with Mulder who hardly ever hangs out with her outside of touching the hot stove. but she also possesses a scientific curiosity about the nature of stove burns. sometimes she's like "I've had enough, Mulder, I'm not touching the hot stove anymore". and he's like well fine, I'll do it alone then. afterwards she's bandaging his fingers and chiding him for touching the hot stove without her

Beautiful.

Reblogging because I've seen this about seven times in the past two days across all my media and apps... 🤷‍♀️

If only I had this yesterday…

Thought I'd repost this given the state of the upcoming Kentucky weather. Might screenshot it for reference while shopping today. 😅
