Mediocrity at its Finest

i feel like a lot of people see it as a flaw in storytelling when an actor's personality bleeds into or eclipses the typical characterization of their character but personally i think one of the funniest things abt taako adventurezone is that he is sometimes temporarily possessed by a deeply socially anxious nearing middle aged suburban father . its a core component of the character that i feel cannot be ignored

The thing about “it’s so intense that sometimes it’s blinding” is that on the first level, yes this is about Mulder and his tendency to be hyperfocused on the X-Files to the exclusion of anything else; but there’s this undercurrent here of affection on Scully’s part. Scully is so impressed by Mulder’s character, by Mulder’s ability and integrity, by her own appreciation for him, that sometimes she is the one that is being blinded by it. And sometimes, by her affection for him, she becomes just as blinded to the outside world.

mulder and scully would be about to have sex but they accidentally get into a philosophical debate that distracts them so much that they end up naked but arguing in their usual fashion

if i may say one thing about in-community tumblr aspec discourse. I think We As A Broad Community have a real tendency to get tunnel vision and severely over-estimate how good groups just adjacent to our own groups have it. on a pretty regular rotation I'll see waves of posts on the varying themes of "sex-favorable asexuals are completely palatable and accepted now" "everyone's on board with asexuals and aroaces but no one can stand the idea of aroallos" "ace people are accepted just fine as long as they're 100% virginal and sex-repulsed but god forbid you have a more complex relationship with sex" "everyone loves aro activism but start saying asexual talking points and they get scared" and, comrades, none of this is the case. there is no variety of acespec or arospec person who does not experience massive barriers to even basic self-expression, and this is only somewhat better in queer-majority social spaces. certain friend circles may individually be chiller about some kinds of aspecs but this does not mean that ex. "asexual perverts are too normalized," aphobia towards all aspecs is still the norm. let us not forget that We Live In A Society.

After Scully was abducted, how many times do you think Mulder was listening to Scully’s cries for help on his answering machine?

anyway what’s the best book you’ve ever read and yes if you say some YA shit i will kill a hostage.
