Space god of smooth music and seafaring

god byers my love byers the odd man out byers who ticked every box he was supposed to tick but was still miserable and alone byers who finally found people who understood him but at the cost of his entire life, byers the before and after hanging onto those suits for some semblance of normalcy in the madness byers who will never be loved in the way he needs it not from his family or susanne or even the gunmen byers who is desperate for stability but who can't have it without giving up that fundamental part of himself that he sacrificed so much to allow to exist in the first place I'm FINE I'm fucking . FINE

why am I getting gender euphoria from cosplaying captain ahab

Being Cantonese at hot pot is so fucking embarrassing now that it’s popular and you have influencers being like omg yeah the sauce bar is where it’s AT there’s so many SEASONINGS so much FLAVOUR you can do all the COMBOS meanwhile ours is like . soy sauce and a raw egg

Frohike and Langly are crucial to the x files ecosystem bc the male fbi agents are all tragically submissive puppyboys and Scully is too busy lezzing out to do anything about it

reyes and langly besties btw langly used to be her weed guy in university and now he fixes all her fbi drug test results. source: trust me bro

I do also think it's interesting that in daemonicus reyes very specifically is like hey so I've done a million and one satanic cult cases and I don't think demons are actually real, but doggett is still like they're playing you reyes they just want you to believe it's a real satanic ritual. like . diva reyes is literally the WORST person to try and convince about a satanic ritual she would be the FIRST person to see through that shit. The episode is written so weirdly because they didn't seem to know what they were actually trying to say about the situation. like reyes' openmindedness doesn't really get them anywhere, her assertion that they're just following the evidence even if it sounds kinda weird doesn't get them anywhere, her saying that she "senses evil" doesn't really connect with anything fundamental to the episode because there are no real loose ends that could be plausible deniability attributed to something genuinely demonic, it does just kind of feel like throwing a bunch of character traits at the wall and trying to see what fits. I would have just liked to see the things that she was saying have any material effect on the way the episode plays out at all - like she keeps saying to doggett that he has to follow the evidence instead of rejecting it because it's too spooky but that doesn't actually affect the way the episode plays out at all. doggett should have genuinely fucked something up like refusing to take "medicus" as a clue and being the cause of them getting to dr sampson too late.

x files season 9 writing sucks ass because in the reyes housewarming ep they left out her artisanal bong collection

kind of wish they'd gone further into the concept of doggett not necessarily as an unbeliever in the way that scully will always put the science first but as someone who is genuinely afraid and steeped in denial and compartmentalisation as the only way he's been able to survive the time since luke's death. like we kind of get this touched on in via negativa and empedocles but it would have made so much more sense for that to be the defining feature of his character rather than something we get snippets of from time to time

i do think that one of the things I adore about doggett is how scared he gets of all the x-files shit. like bro should NOT be in there he hates this fucking shit and it terrifies him so much but it's his duty so he commits to it 110% anyway
