I was thinking today that I show draw a chart to illustrate how they fluctuate -- because sometimes they're close and sometimes they're rifty (although whatever the internal state of their relationship, they always present a united front) and sometimes it's hard to pinpoint exactly why they act that way.
Very true! It would be a pretty nifty (albeit pretty complicated) project, trying to make like... an MSR flow chart, lmao. But still, awesome.
The infamous season three "rift" seems to sort of come out of nowhere, and they recover from it relatively fast (only to nosedive again in season four) and really the relationship is so damn complicated it's hard to ever completely understand it. We try, though, and that summary of it all was nearly perfect.
Aww, thank you! I tried, but I'm sure I missed a lot of things. It's weird how they fluctuate in S3, isn't it? I think, without putting too much thought at this moment into it, Scully may have finally been questioning things she'd repressed for some time (as we all know, Scully is the Queen of Self-Denial), and it was starting to take its toll on the relationship. They briefly patch it up due to extreme circumstances forcing their way to the forefront, but I think they didn't really fix anything, which is why everything kind of goes KABOOM! in S4. The end of "Never Again" always makes me just completely anxious, because they don't even know what to do with each other, let alone themselves. It's brilliant, but damn is it stressful.
That said, I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and tell you that you really should, at some point, make an MSR fanmix. Just pick a season (or a theme -- there's one song I love that perfectly expresses the sexual side of the tension between them and I secretly feel like making a mix centered around that)! That's sort of what I've always intended to do. Someday I'll get around to it!
I may do just that! Problem is, there are SO many XF-related projects I'm either working on, or want to do in the future. First and foremost, capping the entire series and hosting it (xf-caps.com WILL happen, I swear to God!), and I even have a couple of fanvid ideas (but have no clue what I'm doing, so I need to learn a thing or two so as not to look like a complete and total ASS). But I may squeeze a fanmix or two in there somewhere, you never know. ;)
Lies! I've had to split one into three separate ones before.
Heh, I've had to do that a few times in the past, too! Because I am rambly and never know when to shut up, and LJ and its comment character limits can kiss my ass.
