Because I am a copycat and cannot think of my own fun stuff. Inspired by both aidy and Mary.


Main Entry: TOOMS
Pronunciation: /tu:mz/
Etymology: Season 1

verb: to hide in a small, secluded and dark space performing unnecessary tasks like assembling newspaper clippings; implies huddling, slovenliness and general unsociability. Examples: "Is your son toomsing in his room again? I think I can hear the scissors clicking." "I think I'm going to tooms around in my office tonight, I feel rather antisocial."

noun: a person frequently indulging in toomsing. Examples: "He's such a tooms, even his girlfriend can't always get him to go out for the evening." "You're a tooms? Oh, that's why you have no tan."

Since we're Region 2, our TV is currently feeding us season 4 of LOST, providing two hours of family enternainment every Thursday. So, last week. "The Economist" is on, and ( spoiler? I guess anyone who cares has already seen it, but just in case. )

"I've downloaded the manual for your new camera," my dad said. "OK," I said, "Where is it?" "IT'S IN SCULLY'S DOG'S MOUTH," he said and I was like "...WHAT" and then I looked at the desktop and there it was:

FTMFW Y/N

ATTENTION ALL CUSTOMERS.

THE X-FILES.

THAT IS ALL.


No, srsly, what can I say that you don't already know. It'll be my 10th anniversary in three weeks. Also: Deep Throat happens roughly a year and a half after Pilot, so - has anyone written, has anyone read, can anyone rec some good fanfic that happens in-between? Always wanted to read some, kthx.

As for paranormal activity: It was a sunny morning, I was out in the woods, and I saw a young girl wading through the forest, maybe 30m (98ft) away from me. She could only be seen in my peripheral vision; when I'd try to concentrate my gaze on her, she would vanish. She was there for maybe three minutes, she kept walking but kept reappearing in the same place, the silhouette small, but giving an overall impression of paleness. Then she vanished for good. Note: it totally happened, I totally freaked out, is it awesome Y/N.

YES, THAT FANART AGAIN. BECAUSE AFTER FAILING AT FIRST I AM PRETTY FUCKIN' SATISFIED WITH MY COLORING NOW OKAY.

HERE, U CAN HAS TEASER:



WIP.

I am finally doing that post-col M&S fanart that has been sitting in my head for like 2 months since I heard Radio Nowhere (COME ON THE LYRICS ARE FREAKIN' PERFECT), AND IT FEELS AWESOME. The end.

In latest news: I suck.

In moar latest news: I suck moar. Making the rewatches public! If any of my teachers get here somehow and see how I abuse the English language and make an idiot out of myself by fangirling I will be thrown out not only of the lingustics department, not only of the uni, but also of the country.

So. Firewalker, Red Museum, Excelsis Dei, Aubrey, Irresistible, Die Hand Die Verletzt, Fresh Bones.

( This chapter is brought to you by the letters F like fail, G like General lack of lulz, L like Less talking moar capping, N like Needs moar cap, and R like Rambling. )

And nao, for teh caps!


1. LOL, Polish sausage? Teh Dawg, Reyes? U R DOIN IT WRONG (in 7 yrs)

( because you will never beat the hot that is BBQ sauce )

ETA: I SOMEHOW MANAGED TO DELETE THIS ENTRY BUT LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO RETRIEVE IT. THE COMMENTS WERE KINDA LOST THOUGH. I AM MADE OF FAIL SHUT UP

Steve Railsback (Duane) was awesome. Ratboy was ratty. Mulder was frantic, and tired, and sleepless, and full of drama, and was being watched by a vampire while having sex with a vampire in spe. SRSY WHUT. Missy was all about feelings and confessions. Maggie was all elegant drama. Skinman had totally died in 'Nam. Frohike wore a tuxedo. Langly wore one of his tees. Byers was not helping. Scully had big boobs.

Good times.


1. "Hi, I'm Abraham Lincoln and I taught Mulder all he knows about neckwear."

( And the Speedo? ...That too? Srlsy? Oh, Abe )

Blood and Sleepless? Are AWESOME. I don't know any other qualificative adjectives. Sorry.

(I know I've already spazzed about this phenomenon, but bear with me.) I haven't seen those eps for so long (7 years? 8?) that it was seriously thrilling to watch them now!!! I had NO idea I'd forgot so much from those early years. To those of you who actually have been watching oldschool XF during the last 10 or so years: YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. It truly is amazing.

When the X-Files were closed and they were separated? Those are the things about that period I forgot about: What good friends they continued to be (if you choose to disregard some still existing trust issues, of course). How they missed each other and how they enjoyed and seeked each other's company on those rare occassions. "In all honesty, Scully, I've never had a more difficult time developing a profile." How she was always there to help him, how they emailed their reports to each other and how he addressed her by name in his reports and notes. How their friendship and their devotion towards each other kept growing even more when they were forced apart... If this is not OTP, I don't know what is. Right?

On a lighter note, I totally loved this conversation:

SPENCER: He was one of those nice guys... couldn't play and didn't bitch about being stuck in right field.
MULDER: What's wrong with right field?
SPENCER: Always the first one to shake hands at the end of the game . Didn't matter whether they won or lost.
MULDER: Got to have an arm to play right field.
SPENCER: Bought a round of beers afterwards, even though he didn't drink.
MULDER: I played right field.

Also, David's acting is HORRIBLE in those two. I could read a VCR manual aloud with more emotion. After a lobotomy. While asleep. In a coffin.


1. Yes plz, but after you lose the cowlick.

( And the shirt. )

To continue with the rewatch:

The Host.

Is some seriously awesome shit. IF YOU EXCUSE THE PUN

I really enjoyed watching it after all those years! Rewatch is fun times! Almost like seeing new eps? BUT BETTER. Kind of.

He goes, "They don't want us working together, Scully... and right now, that's the only reason I can think of to stay." And then she goes, "I know that it's your decision, but I hope that you know that I'd consider it more than a professional loss if you decided to leave." And then I go, "YOU REALLY LIKE TO RUB OUR NOSES IN STUFF, DON'T YOU CHRIS".

Also: DARIN MORGAN


1. "How big do these things get?" "You mean, my boobs? Oh, we're filming?"

( Yes Gillian, we are filming )

BEHOLD!

The Amazing MulderVision[tm]!

In case this is nothing new... bear with me, LOL. I was curious and thought someone would like to check this out too.

ETA: Go team Scooly. I knew there was something I missed so I checked the transcript: and of course, Byers specifically mentions "his inability to perceive the color red", so it's either version A or version B, not C or D. BUT CAN WE EVER BE CERTAIN NO WE CANNOT BESIDES WHAT DOES BYERS KNOW ANYWAY.

ETA 2: NEEDS MOAR GEEK (check out the comments)

ETA 3: YES HE TTLY CAN BE COLORBLIND (check out the comments)

Making this public in case you wanna pimp or something. Also, while googling, I stumbled upon this. Vancouver! You still bring all the weird to the yard! Oh, Vancouver!!

First of all, some notes:

I have now rewatched the entire s1 and Little Green Men. Lo, the continuity striketh back! On the regressive hypnosis tape in Conduit Mulder says he was in bed when Samantha was abducted. Sigh. CHRIS

Also. In Little Green Men? When the alien are like OHAI WE CAME TO PLAY? QUITE FREAKING SCARY.

Other things that are scary: Freakin' Shapes. Freakin' Tooms wanting to get Mulder's ass (although, wait, that is more somewhere midway between awesome and hilarious and scary because hey: Doug Hutchison). Mulder's ties.

And guys... how EMOTIONAL they got with each other through this first year?! IS KILLING ME HERE, OKAY.

MULDER: So why have you bothered to come here covertly?
SCULLY: Because I realized that it was the only way that you would see me.
MULDER: So what do you want?
SCULLY: To know that you're all right.

OH MY GOD, OKAY. "AND NEXT TIME... WE MEET OUT IN THE OPEN." And Mulder records the tape for Scully. And and and. OH MY GOD. (I'm afraid I'm not getting any more coherent than that, so y'all can go check out the picspam now).


1. Things they had in 1994: #1. Flying cars!

( MOAR )

Rewatch status: almost done with season 1, yay! I am enjoying this immensly. You have no idea. Next in line: Roland, whom I have always loved, so, yay for him.

I forgot how much Scully gets called "Dr. Scully" in s1. And Mulder calls her Dana a few times, too, oh, man, and it just sounds so WRONG, haha. And Mulder gets called "Fox" twice in Tooms, by Scully (OH SCULLY YOU'RE SO ADORKABLY AWKWARD WHEN YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON SOMEONE - AND BY SOMEONE I MEAN MULDER) AND The Mighty Skinman (woo! first appearance! so young!), because apparently Skinman/Mulder = OTP. I love how DD just keeps touching everyone all the freakin' time, and how, in consequence, Mulder doesn't seem to be able to get his hands off Scully. <3


1. Mulder, this surveillance device will not tell you anything, no matter how hard you make wrist sex to Scully stare at it.

( Moar cap evidence, followed by another rather fat picspam. )

In other news: I couldn't care less about the Olympics. What.

Plz to be sharing the joys of my rewatch:


1. OHAI AMAZINGLY AMAZING IMAGE ENHANCING TECHNOLOGY FROM THE EARLY 90'S

( moar! )

(ETA: ADDED 2 MOAR)
