“Scully, it’s me”

I had an X files Kick too. Started my crush on Gillian Anderson. Absolute queen.

Are we the same person? This is exactly my childhood and adult experience. In addition to being obsessed with X-Files, I watched so many alien sightings shows/“documentaries” on TV. Who could forget Fire in the Sky? I mean literally. That shit scarred me for life. I think it was pre-trump, but still in the thick of “Thruthiness” when I did a full rewatch and it was so great, but I couldn’t help mourn my teenage self a bit because I had grown from Mulder into Scully. I mourned the age of the innocent, fun conspiracy. Today Mulder would have been into QAnon. When I saw this news break, I didn’t have any reaction. Makes me sad that we live in this world.
