Something I really like about The X-files is its doomed but still hopeful romanticism. Mulder and Scully are alone against people with unimaginable power who can kill them both or one of them (which probably would be worse for the one who stayed alive), they are basically defenseless against them. No one knows the struggle they are going through, and if people knew, they wouldn't believe them. They both lost their loved ones because of the stuff they are involved into and they basically don't have an opportunity to live a normal life anymore. But they are still trying to know the truth, to find out what is being hidden, even if it will cost them everything. If the truth is out there, it can be found. And even if they gonna lose, they are still fighting and not falling in complete despair, even though they have all the reasons to, because you know, 'I want to believe'.

Honestly the weirdest aspect of Mulder and Scully’s relationship is that they flirt harder the more disgusting or disturbing whatever they’re investigating is. Is there a corpse with a live frog inside? Let’s crack jokes and subtly imply how attracted to each other we are. What about a dead baby in a closet? Obviously that’s when we should have a barely coded conversation about Mulder’s dick, duh. Interrogating a sadistic murderer? Totally the appropriate time to eye-fuck each other over the interrogation table. Stuck in the woods being chased by mutated conquistadors? (God, this show is strange) Time to cuddle, joke about getting naked, and sing to each other. Could you be infected with a scary parasitic ice worm? Let’s feel each other’s necks up in the most erotic way possible under the guise of a medical exam. Truly no one is doing it like them and that’s probably a good thing
