you'll never get what you want .

we need to stay together . no 'splitting up' bullshit .

nobody ever prepared me for this .

so you've just been lying to me this entire time ?

there's too much blood , i can't stop it .

this is over when i say it's over .

[ name ] , be careful . i've already lost enough people that i care about .

i never should have trusted you .

this is getting really out of hand , okay ?

i feel like we're not alone .

revenge is the best medicine !

put your head on straight , this isn't over yet .

maybe we should ... y'know , check it out ?

run . run and don't stop .

i thought i saw something ... i - i must be going crazy .

you couldn't pay me to go down there .

the cops are on their way .

would you rather stay here and die ?!

there's no such thing as [ ghosts / demons ] . it's made-up .

you aren't going anywhere .

i'm putting you out of your misery .

i know you think you're untouchable , but they will kill us .

you shouldn't have touched that .

we aren't going to make it out of here , are we ?

why are you following me ?

there has to be a medical kit here , somewhere .

i'll go with you . strength in numbers , right ?

don't move ... a fucking muscle .

fuck , the door is locked from the other side .

don't get ... dead , okay ?

that was the only [ bullet / round / flare ] we had .

did you really think it would be that easy ?

we've come too far , we can't turn around now .

put down the [ weapon ] . please .

come on , help me barricade the door .

[ name ] , is that ... blood ?

haven't you seen a horror movie ? the blonde always dies .

it was you ? YOU did this ?!

you are gonna fucking pay .

i'm going to give you ten seconds . nine , eight ...

i want you to admit what you did .

hey , look at me -- it's not real . it's not real .

do you think they're watching us right now ?

we're in this together . no one gets left behind .

let them go ... please , just let them go .

oh my god , what the hell was that ?!

you know i'm capable of this .

i had to ... i had no choice .

you don't have the guts .

this is fucked up , this is so fucked up .

what we're dealing with isn't even human .

you need to hide . find somewhere & don't come out .

stop ! don't touch that . we don't know what it is .

i've done bad things to good people .

if they catch us , they will kill us .

why are you covered in blood ?

i can't ... i can't feel my -

[ name ] is dead . i saw it happen .

what , you're gonna kill me ? i don't believe you .

there is an evil in you . i see it .

this shit only happens to people in horror movies .

forget about me , just save them .

what's one reason i shouldn't kill you right now ?

you aren't supposed to be here .

please don't . i'm begging you .

are you scared ?

whatever happens , don't let go of my hand .

[ name ] , this isn't you .

well , what the fuck are we supposed to do ?!

get out of my house before i call the cops .

you're going to regret that .

there's that smile ... i'm glad it's the last thing i'll see .

“ 𝚢𝚘𝚞'𝚛𝚎 𝚖𝚊𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚖𝚎 𝚗𝚎𝚛𝚟𝚘𝚞𝚜. ” from dana katherine scully, @vnerate

❛   ────nervous, ey?   ❜ uttered out of one side of his coy smirk, he's careful to tread lightly around the fact that while he's busy lounging there leafing through the community's seemingly endless book of covenants, conditions &. restrictions, rob petrie's dearly beloved is sauntering brazenly around their new home with a face mask that makes her look less like a lady and more like a creature from the black lagoon ──

in the back of his mind, he can't help but picture what win shroeder or big mike raskub would think if they saw laura out on the lawn rocking that unconventional shade of marshland green [ ... ]

in lieu of the mischief glittering in his eyes, he wedges a fingertip into the book to keep his place; then, he reclines a little in the bed ( 𝚊𝚙𝚙𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚘 𝚜𝚘𝚊𝚔 𝚞𝚙 𝚊𝚜 𝚖𝚞𝚌𝚑 𝚙𝚕𝚞𝚜𝚑 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚝 𝚊𝚜 𝚑𝚎 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚋𝚎𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚎 𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚟𝚒𝚝𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚢 𝚋𝚎𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚋𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚜𝚑𝚎𝚍 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚌𝚘𝚞𝚌𝚑. ) ❛   consider this a character building question, agent scully: why ever would someone like laura agree to love and cherish a man who makes her nervous for as long as they both shall live?   ❜ barely giving her a chance to respond, he furrows his brow with an insufferable amount of confidence in his own humor.

❝ you know, mulder, i don't recall there being anything in the character profiles that a.d. skinner gave us about how rob necessarily be so needling. ❞ she's stood in front of the dresser, now, looking at herself in the mirror that sits atop it. she reaches for her bottle of argan oil, a necessity for the sake of her hair against these new, cheap sheets. a few drops in the palm of her hand. ❝ i understand, of course, that we tend to infuse our aliases with parts of our true selves. that much is inevitable. but i can't help but notice how much of rob's presence seems completely owed to your interpretation of the character. it's entirely possible that rob isn't actually the man laura thought she married. ❞
