- dedicated to the fantastic XF vidder (among other noble pursuits ;) Boston/Roi, thankyou for passing this song along to me ♥
theres a couple different related themes in this, I'm hoping they are somewhat obvious.
centers around Scully's role as a forensic pathologist. I've always found that interesting for a lot of reasons with respect to her personality and belief system. She is is definitely drawn to danger and things that frighten or challenge her ('candybar creepshow')- partly out of desire to prove she is strong enough and partly for other more complicated reasons. How she responds to Mulder in the pilot with utter fascination is a perfect example. Also as a woman, her views on victimization and what she does would be more complex, and she flips between her power role as a pathologist to identifying with those she works on as she becomes a frequent target in x-files land to all the creeps in the closet.
theres some visual metaphor in this... it is not AU and I intended the last part to be a glimpse into Scully's fears- mental images--that her addiction to Mulder is going to get her killed, but she needs and loves him at the same time, so there is tension there.
In this fanfic I read (and forgive me, I don't remember which) Scully is thinking how Mulder is mad and dangerous and she should stay away from him, but then she pauses and thinks that she is dangerous too...and I think thats right...
Scully is never really a victim- she chooses things for herself whether bad or good.
An interesting observation: the little girl Scully in her dream is wearing a blue and white dress with scissors all over it and spools of thread. I thought this was brilliant little commentary on how Scully sees herself (since its her memory)
Scissors that cut things apart and thread that mends things together-
that is so Scully. ;)

These are hard times
For dreamers
And love-lost believers"
-Bones by MSMR
I'm truly impressed with the concept of this vid.
You said that Scully is never a victim and that's exactly the point! That's why I've loved her for almost 20 years! There wasn't just devotion to Mulder's cause, but her sense of justice too! And her science! These things drove her trough hard times, but brought her close to someone she learned to love, even with all his flaws (and we know that Mulder's not perfect).
I always thought it was mostly Scully's perseverance to bring them together!
asdashdkfs! Lovely, again, of course! My friend turned me on to MSMR and looking at the name just reminds me of "MSR"! So fitting for a Mulder/Scully video ;-) But as per usual, I love this video. Every time I watch your videos, I realize how much I miss these characters. How much I miss the 7-year "romance", and their steadfast beliefs and the trust in only each other. No other show has affected me in the way TXF does, and your videos always bring that to the surface! WELL DONE, FRIEND!
hi Raj, thankyou, so glad u are still out there watching and loving x-files and writing your brilliant fic!
Perfect gorgeous, lovely, scary. You always manage to make xf look new. Always taking less used scenes and reshaping others. You could probabaly make a million more videos and every one will be completely perfect, and competely different. Dont ever stop
Not only do you make fantastic videos, but I also manage to find awesome songs thanks to you :)
So intense! Wow! Great video and I love the song. NAILED IT! :)
Gorgeous , Amazing , Stunning work hun , the music , the scenes , this is so well mixed , you never cease to surprise me , I just LOVE it and now I need to go rewatch it !!
such a great song and I hope I shaped it to the XF universe in a good way- it was nice to do something with that flavor again- thanks much for sending it and really hope to see something from you again soon!!
I still love this video like the first time I saw it! Just dropping by to tell you! Still one of my fav videos ever! 😍
Really? Thankyou! 😘 coming from you, a huge compliment!
Glad a few people out there still watching these 💚
absolutely! it was so well made and original and detailed in every scene. i really love it! =)
you have a great eye for 'non-conventional scenes' and I absolutely adore that! You should totally give me some advice in that department! ;)
@@jojokersinaXF I don't think theres much I can tell you, I think your vids are fantastic and edgy and definately unique! I thank you so much though for such a great compliment 😍
I have not felt inspired to vid at all for months now :/ *sigh*
snakey973 i know the feeling.. i have had vidder’s block for a while as well.. I’m trying to work on a video but it’s not coming as I would like.. 😞
But thank you so much for all the compliments! I think the same things about you! 😊
You know, we should chat more sometimes, if you want! :)
We could brainstorm ideas! 😂
Love love love! Great song, and you know I will be watching this over and over and over again until I burn out. I love how in touch you are with Scully's inner thoughts and fears. "A constant image in her mind that she learned to live with over time..." bout sums it up. Needed this for my fix, thank you!
Gah so good. I love so many of the songs you choose and the vids are awesome. Thanks!
Your vids are always so gorgeous
This is awesome Snakey, I so love those kind of videos you can't even imagine how much... I especially love the start with the origami and the bird...there you got a fantastic sequence put together, among others that made this video a total delight for the eyes and the soul. Just brilliant work!
I love it! The song fits X files perfectly, defiantly one of the better X Files vids :)
Wonderful work with this one hon! it was a bit scary but the music and scenes was great choises. you always has such a great story to tell and i LOVE this!!
Amazing video Snakey, this is art! I love the "Follow" sign that came perfectly in the bullet wound
thankyou! I wan't to show that following Mulder for Scully came with a big price tag 0_o which they both were all too aware of
snakey973 you're welcome! :) Yes Scully was unfortunately also a victim of Mulder's quest for the Truth...
snakey973 i've just watched the video again, can't believe i discovered it two months ago already! still seeing new things in it! and like you say, it's true Scully isn't really a victim because she makes choices for herself and i had never noticed the scissors and threads... Snakey, you really know your stuff :D (pun pun pun :D) I think the dress is blue and white because it's the colors of the Virgin Mary also maybe... (especially because it's in the episodes with Emily and there's another allusion when she rests next to Emily then there's a transition to the church's stained glass window)
Sy Santa =D aw, well thank-you!
I just am obsessed with this show and I love analyzing things- it began with books and then bleed over into the X-files. I try to make my videos rewarding to people who pay close attention so it makes me so happy to hear you still discovering new things x) I love your observations as well- I had never thought of that but X-files really does LOVE its symbolism!
You're very welcome :) I like details too :) you're very good at seeing them!
Thank you so much for making this video!!!! So powerful and atmospheric! Ooooh, I'm speechless....)
thankyou! I love doing Scully centric vids- I love your icon btw (my favorite movie) ;)
mmm) it's my favorite too!!
I've spent my yesterday evening watching your wonderful vids)
soulmate, good luck to you in vidding, you're very tallented;))
You're vids are always the best and i really like the dark ones ;) re-whatching all over again! Sooo fantastic vid!
:') thanks so much, you don't know how happy that makes me in my Phile heart!! XF4eva
thank-you xD
I am loving this group too but they don't have many songs out yet- remind me a lot of Florence and the Machine for some reason- I think its the 'bigness' of the sound as well as all the dark elements. Agree with all u said- yet to have another show captivate me in the same way as XF which keeps me Scully-loyal to it- lol!!
Omg that was amazing. My friend and I LOVE to make fanfics about Mulder and Scully!
thanks so much! I love looking for details in XF because they are there and vidding makes it easier to see them ;) I write bloated descriptions for vids, but I love blabbing about the x-files- lol! I'm not planning on writing a book, but I AM working on some fanfic =)
I’m late to the party. This is gorgeous!
thanks so much x) I'm really grateful for the support- vidding can be hard to sustain sometimes without it!!
good job hehe I love the last scene
hi sweetie, thanks much- I am glad u liked it. I really enjoy vidding the darker aspects to the show but it tends to not go over as well as the shippy vids ;D
awwwwwww!!!!
I don't even have the adequate words to thank you for such a great compliment,
please keep watching- I love love your comments and I get much happiness knowing u are enjoying them!
thanks- u should definitely consider a re-watch-- its STILL fabulous!
hi L, I am glad u liked it- it is pretty dark in tone but thats really my strength as a vidder I suppose. thanks much for the message, will write soon!!
Fab new vid Snakey. Keep making them pretty please. I will always need my x files fix of new videos.
AMAZING :) LOVE THE X FILES!!!
Another Awesome Vid Mate (y) >>
thanks :)
the song is by MSMR
still love it like day one (6 months ago already! yes i still watch all of them :D Hope you'll make another one pretty soon :))
thankyou so much sweetie, you might be the only one that watches them anymore, lol! but i appreciate it =D
you're welcome :) I will always watch them :) I still hope to make some myself but I have so much work right now :(
snakey973 it will always stay my favourite one :)
Sister Spooky oh really? thats so cool- it is always very interesting to me to hear which ones people love the most- and i love it when its not the most popular ones, lol! its been my experience that the more obscure the theme, the less popular the vid, but i love those ones most too x)
I love the dark ones too and it's the first one of you that I've watched :) I remember watching it 5 times then sending it to a friend on fb and saying: you've gotta watch it, it's terrific!" and she said "wow" and I said: "now I gonna watch them all" :) and I did and showed her some and we both loved every single vid we watched :)
love this!!
Well done...Is a great video ;)
I really appreciate that, thanks so much sweetie- miss u
glad u got it sorted out ;)
wow, what an awesome awesome compliment, thanks so much! I am very happy you are still watching my vids ;) xo
wow!! awesome!!
thankyou!
good vid snakey :)
that is from 'all things' season 7
Darker the better I always say (well in the case of X Files any way!) Liked the song as well. My only question is why has it come out a bit pixilated (if that's even a word?) Or is it my computer?
thanks bunches!
nope, do not have it but I have a twitter account
I gotta agree with u- love the dark stuff too ;) I think it came out pixilated due to your internet connection speed or maybe your computer?? its not pixilated on mine-- ?
hi! this is an amazing vid!! and I love the song, is there a way I can search for it on spotify?
thank-you! =)
I need to send you songs more often.
One year already! :')
thankyou! xD
thanks ;)
thankyou very much =)
well, yes and no-- it really depends on the individual and what your personal tolerance is for creepy. Mostly I'd say it would be ok but I'd stay away from certain eps like 'home' and some of season 8 and 9...my nine yr old son watches it and loves it.
thankyou :)
thanks sweetie
Perfect !!!!!!!!!! Who sing this music ?
Can I share this video on instagram its only 1:00
the 1st one I saw
Such a "Better Than Ezra - One More Murder" vibe
Yeah, it was my computer - it's fine now. :)
