can’t believe it took 30+ years (10 for me personally) to figure out the real issue between david duchovny and gillian anderson was never that he was aloof and temperamental while she was green and ingratiating but rather that she could not remember nor care about a single thing she’d said or done a moment after she’d said or done it due to having four thousand things more important than her coworker’s emotional state on her mind as a single mother 20something divorcee tv star meanwhile every time she breathed weird it hurt his feelings for a decade

Thank you! I am glad Tumblr hasn’t retired the blog yet or anything. Science is forever!

Anyone else listening to David’s podcast and hoping for the slightest hint of x-files/Gillian? We won’t get it, of course. He’ll quit before he gives us that. What is wrong with this man.
A
So… I will have to listen to this. But the excerpts in the People article sound repetitive and boring. I hold out hope that they really GET INTO IT.

Love this because I myself lifted it from biblical scholarship.

I’m personally still processing some trauma symptoms related to 1998 and I didn’t even see the show until 2003.

I haven't thought about this page in YEARS (simply because I haven't thought much about THEM in years), but I can't tell you how happy it makes me that you're still somewhat active! I randomly listened to Goodbye with Emmylou Harris and they immediately popped up. I guess we always come back to these two assholes somehow. Damn them and their perpetually awkward and fascinating relationship! *shakes fist violently*

I love you for leaving this message!
It hits me out of nowhere every once in a while, and I come back and have a good cackle. I’ll admit I love rereading my own jokes (from a decade ago in some cases??!!!) Here’s today’s entertainment:
this one also gives me a little chuckle
the fic literally writes itself but has also always remained so hard to write???
I’m way late, but these are so great.

Okay, I couldn’t stand the presenter’s voice, and had to skip through most of it, but after I cackled to see the Timeline of Awkward on screenshot there for anyone to see, I felt STRANGELY DEFENSIVE at the way my scientific work was portrayed as “obsessive fan activity…” like dude… if someone does not treat this phenomenon with the gravity it deserves, then what grounds do we have for making any such analysis????
It was really fun to see you, it seemed like you guys were different in your relationship than you had been in the past, and I just wondered if between you and your 90 closest fans you could elaborate?
“Well, I can say that we are definitely closer than, um, than we were back then. And I think a lot of that is due to, you know, time, and growing up a bit more and, um, appreciation for the experience that we had. And um, the connection that we have. We have a connection not just in the fact that we experienced that together, but we have, as two human beings, we have a connection and a camaraderie and a dynamic between the two of us that is also unique to me than in any other relationship that I have in my life. You know, there’s an intimacy there that is, um, um, it only exists there, in that particular way. And so, um, it’s cool to see him and you know, I think if we saw each other all the time, it might be a different story. But we see each other on rare and pleasant occasions and um, and it’s nice, it’s a great relationship and I am very fond of it and him.”

Lest you think my archiving days are over. (And yes, I saw the tweet about their meet-up in April, and I still cared but oh man does David give me cringe these days.)
This is to offer some perspective and note that these two people who said the most awkward, heart chilling things in print twenty-odd years ago now tweet each other posing as their dogs??? Like this is Boomer Facebook?
“I don’t know if you know this, but Gillian’s an accomplished stage actor. She came all the way from London just to see this. I’m very touched by that.”
David Duchovny, Vulture, Nov 2010 (x)
David Duchovny got a big surprise tonight. For his opening off Broadway in Neil LaBute‘s “The Break of Noon,” former “X Files” costar Gillian Anderson flew in from England. She’d told him she’d come, but Duchovny looked shocked when he actually saw her. Talk about support!

Not surprisingly, [Gillian Anderson] and [David] Duchovny also became the story – according to the press, they were having an affair, hated each other or both. “I mean, yes, there were definitely periods when we hated each other.” She starts again. “Hate is too strong a word. We didn’t talk for long periods of time. It was intense, and we were both pains in the arse for the other at various times.”
How was Duchovny a pain in the arse for her? “Erm …” Ten seconds pass without a word. Meanwhile, her smile gets wider and wider till it’s halfway up her cheeks. “I’m not going to get into it. I’m not even going to begin to get into that. But we are closer today than we ever have been.”
