a digital watercolour painting of a large arched stained glass window, with gray stone pillars to either side, and a rack of prayer candles to the front. the perspective is such that the viewer is at roughly eye level to the rack of candles, looking up at the large window. the candles are lit such that the lit candles display a letter X. There is a large gold and red claddagh design in the middle of the window, with panels of red and blue alternating around it. Above and below the claddagh, there are glass panels shaped like a banner, on which latin lettering reads - “Credo In Te” which translates to “I believe in you.” Above the Claddagh, there is a UFO design. On either side of the UFO, there are panels depicting flowers: Poppies for sacrifice, lily of the valley for the return of happiness, and oleander for both everlasting love and caution. on either side of the window, latin script is engraved into pillars. The left pillar reads “Fidei tuae robur habui” which translates to “I had the strength of your belief (faith)” whilst the right pillar reads “meus es tu unus in quinque billion” which means “You are my one in five billion.” At the bottom of the window, there are large alternating glass panels: blue - red - blue. Within the central red panel, Mulder and Scully from the revival era are depicted, reflecting back at the viewer. they are both in relative profile - mulder on the left and Scully on the right. They are gazing at each other.

leave it to me to only have a holiday season fic idea on actual christmas day. anyway, msr crack fic idea circa roughly 1998:
msr crack fic idea where mulder goes out of his way one year to send mrs scully a holiday card and is VERY confused when she calls him asking if everything is okay between him and dana. when he asks scully about it she goes bright red and picks up the card her mom sent her this year from the mantle, and the last two years from the hall cupboard - all addressed to “Dana & Fox”. she reveals that in an effort to stop her mother from setting her up with every slightly eligible catholic bachelor in her parish, she simply. stopped protesting when people insinuated that THEY were together. she never said they WERE, just stopped saying that they weren’t. so, you see, giving her mother a card addressed only from him may have. slightly broken the facade. it is at this point he realises that the many times he has seen maggie scully in person in the last two years have, well, not broken the facade.

nothing in this life will make u want to write fanfiction like having a Very Bad Time at work, and yet nothing will fry your brain to the point of being unable to string together a sentence quite like it either

lazily crossposting from my tumblr because i love thinking about the bi4bi msr that lives in my head
i really enjoy bi4bi interpretations of msr where they r very different genres of bisexual. mulder figured it out at oxford aged 20 after being propositioned in a bar, where he immediately surrendered to sheer curiosity, downed a shot and said, “fuck it, only one way to know for sure!” and then just accepted it as fact as if he found a new food he liked. on the other hand: scully had an insane codependent college friendship that she only realised the nature of fifteen years later in hindsight, after figuring out her feelings for mulder were Not Friendly, rethinking her whole understanding of friendship because how could she not know she was in love with him, and having the following epiphany of, “ah. okay. perhaps i may have kind of, slightly, done this before.”

dredging this back up to say i’ve outlined it a lot more now and i’m gonna actually definitely write some tonight (and also i am always looking for ever more pairs of eyes to read my half baked outlines if that’s your idea of a good time)

starting this acct with a true post into the void of a v tentative (rough) msr fic concept - any thoughts (n prayers for my sanity) welcomed if u do happen across this
(s4 / cancer arc / angst / unresolved romantic tension to resolved romantic tension) ‪anyway u kno how every so often u get into a stretch of traffic that feels like it went on forever, only to get home right on time? watched a clock drag on in an empty waiting room? ever find an empty, old arcade that feels like a place time forgot to come for? a liminal space outside reality? what if it was? what if there are places time just doesn’t reach. what would u do if there, only there, u could live in the time between heartbeats. who would you be? could you stand to leave? how long could you bear it to stay? Timeline parallels season 4. they find the arcade at a derelict strip mall that’s been closed for twenty years. they pulled in just to try and find a bathroom (scully’s insistence) and it’s the only place in the whole building where the wiring still works, not a single bulb blown, the culprit for the glow they saw from the highway. They figure out the slowed time aspect quickly, it’s hard not to when you play fifteen games of air hockey and leave the building to find only 20 minutes have passed. The fact they’re stepping outside of our understanding of time completely takes them a little longer to parse: after all, how long would it take you to realise you can’t hear your heartbeat? How long before you realize that you’re breathing out of habit? At first, it’s a place to buy back a couple hours when Saturday gets tied up on field reports. Then, it’s a place to hide from monotony. Eventually, it’s just a place to hide from time. - “Her chest rises and falls beneath his cheek; an even, smooth tide washing in and out from the shore. The movement lulls him to sleep even as it betrays the action as a force of habit, rather than a necessity. Out there, back where time follows her in a black cloak, Scully hasn’t taken an even breath in months. Here, though, here Mulder can pretend he still believes.”

holo stickers!! honestly think these turned out pretty fun. the standard ones will be a bit brighter when not in direct light as they’ll have a white base rather than grey, but i do think these are cool! warm direct light is the brighter rainbow & the more muted is cool ambient light #msr #txf #spn

my current fav x files fic trope is when people run with the “mulder and diana were married once” concept, build in a big reveal, and then sharp turn into comedy by saying they were married for like six weeks total

i’m taking refresher driving lessons bc it’s been 7yrs but my instructors car is new with power steering whereas mine is the same age as me & the power steering is a distant forgotten dream so after every lesson in his car I almost end up on the wrong side of the road when turning corners in mine

me, daily, taking my adhd meds without food bc i’m too lazy to get up before they kick in: i’m sure that this time this will not result in nausea and taste/appetite drain so bad that eating toast feels like forcing down damp cardboard and glue

me, 1hr later, every day: i have perhaps made an error

“need ao3 as an app” no u don’t u need kybook 3 the worlds greatest customisable ebook reader for fic use. import the tags with the work. add more tags! sort by tags! leave reviews & ratings only you see & then sort by them. give them funky covers. sort them by fandom. every colour and font custom.
