not Mulder and Scully attending the disciplinary hearing at the end of fallen angel and being interrogated at one end of a comically long table
s6 spike is so wonderfully pathetic. literally the moment buffy starts showing a sexual interest in him he’s desperately grasping for proof that it’s not just sex for her and she loves him too. and he longs for that mutual romantic connection so much he even lashes out when she rejects it (“wrecked/gone”) but when she breaks up with him citing her own guilt over using him he’s like “noooo please keep using me for my body”🥺 like nary a shred of dignity in sight for william
if mulder is red/green colour blind then what colour does he think Scully's hair is?

once you start saying shit like "yayy" "yippee" and "hehe" theres no going back
i think the normalization of laying out your own sexual trauma as a pre-amble to a (typically anti-kink) argument is a really dangerous discussion format that we should not be legitimizing. even beyond the fact that experiencing trauma in no way makes you a kinder, smarter, or better person, the demand that we re-open wounds and bare our vulnerabilities as "victim credentials" to (usually hostile) strangers is a bad bad bad fucking expectation to legitimize. i understand the desire to elevate survivors' voices and this absolutely has a place re: conversations about remedial justice and survivor resources. but the idea that one's understanding of systems of sexual violence can only be confirmed by falling victim to them and later willingly offering that trauma to others is equal parts fallacious and dangerous, and it further insults those of us whose advocacy and understanding come from years of study, research, and work, not from our victimization at the hands of another person. i understand it's the impulse to fire back when reactionaries open and end cap every argument with a gratuitous statement of trauma qualifications but you Cannot be ceding ground on this -- not just for reasons of intellectual integrity, but also because your fellow survivors deserve the right to advocate for our lives and communities without being expected to first divulge voyeuristic personal trauma narratives
