I was pretty hooked on The X-Files like five minutes into the pilot episode, but once I watched Ice I knew it was gonna be the only thing living in my brain for the foreseeable future (and I was right)

Pilot Mulder is so angry, so reactive and suspicious of everyone's motives. He's like a gentle-natured dog that's been beaten a few too many times, who thinks if he barks enough he can ward off any future pain that might come his way. He doesn't like it though, it's contrary to his nature, and so it's beautiful how quickly he softens towards Scully simply because she listens, she doesn't dismiss him right away. But what I think is key to their relationship is the fact that she doesn't back down when he snaps at her, when he accuses her of being a plant. She turns it back on him, she stands up for herself. It's glorious.

baz canonically (?) spelling simon’s laptop shut at one point is sooo funny to me because thats literally 12 yr old boy flirting 101. idk how it is in the uk, but in the usa shutting a girl’s laptop as a way of showing that u like her is an annoying preteen/teen boy classic. baz pitch you were never slick. at all.

if u really want to read a book series abt wizards and going to school in the UK, u should pick up Simon Snow <3

i think it’s unrealistic that scully and mulder didn’t say fuck more often
