i feel like the youth should be reminded that the point of shipping is not for a ship to become canon. the point of shipping is to collect all the canon crumbs like starved mice, run away cackling and make some fun little scenarios with them just for the hell of it.
scully is truly one of the characters most near and dear to my heart.
she's a navy brat. a middle child to a distant father. a genius. she rewrote einstein at age 23. she is a doctor and a scientist and she's wrestled with god, but never stopped wearing the cross necklace from her mother. she's jealous and territorial. she likes rules and still breaks them with regularity.
she will not discuss her emotions unless it's under 50 layers of metaphor, but she also cannot hide her feelings, so she sits there, visibly moody. she is a terrible liar. she falls asleep easily. she can and will kill someone, but she's such a good shot that she usually doesn't need to- she can put a bullet right in your collarbone and call an ambulance instead.
she spouts disconcerting facts about bugs and decomposition and genetics and saints without blinking. she once autopsied a guy and then ordered his last meal for dinner. she can cure alien viruses. she wants the real cream cheese on her bagel and something sweet to drink. how could you not love her.

No one understood the shipper psyche better than 90s Duchovny
early seasons mulder and scully are fucking insane. they've been coworkers for like a year or less and they've been split up at work and in response to that they're organising covert secret meetings under the cover of darkness so they can talk and hang out and so she can pet his hair. what is wrong with you people
no because why are they so moody reminiscing about the "good old days" when they 1. have worked together for like less than a year and 2. still see each other all the time?? They are so intense about everything and I love it.
and to be honest it's Saturday
a handy guide.
