raincityruckus:tygermama:olderthannetfic:thebkwyrm-blog-blog:olderthannetfic:thebkwyrm-blog-blog:olderthannetfic:i-call-me-clarence:olderthannetfic:Best fandom history commentary ever, courtesy of @tardistaraFor your viewing pleasure: P.S. For people who are not 40 have not watched The X-Files, that other guy in the red speedo scene is Mulder’s new partner, the apparent woobie whom Mulder is a jerk to because he’s not Scully… but who later turns out to be a Secret Villain.1 guess what the big slash ship was back then.And the Secret Villain (with tragic backstory) kissed Mulder in one scene! In an angry non-romantic way but whooooo, the fic it generated.Um, excuse me, you can’t just SAY that. The Youth need PICS!(aka I am way too lazy to go find X-Files screencaps myself.)It’s a SUPER DARK scene so the caps are awful - plus caps can’t get across just how startling it was to see Krycek pointing a handgun at Mulder, threatening his life, and then just….. lunge forward, and kiss Mulder on the cheek. Because this was 1998 and one of the most popular shows on TV and you just didn’t SEE THAT. So here’s a GIF instead.Edited for @olderthannetfic Dear fandom: please enjoy this EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL.@nanners-the-greathistorical documents -- source link
