X-files: fasting for Saint Patrick

[valis2]

• M: Sculy, do you fell like celebration ?!
  S: Uh! Mulder..!
  M: Yeah! - and is head make a funny move.
  S: what's on your mind -caustious.
  [They kiss.]...All the world fade awey and all rathional touth, they became a man and a womam with neads, fisicals and emotionals.


• This is from a PWP. It's in the middle of a seduction scene between Krycek and Mulder:
  
  "Call me. . . Ishmael," [Krycek] breathed.
  
  No whale is involved. Thankfully.


• "Awnotthlonegnmnillndupfeelnlikivbndippdnoil." Scully whined unintelligibly.


• Mulder's heart started to compete with the loud music when the dark haired stranger got up from his seated position and started to make his way over to where Mulder was sitting.
  
  Dark haired stranger: Hi there.
  Mulder: What?
  Dark haired stranger: Hi!
  Mulder: What?
  Dark haired stranger: HI THERE!
  Mulder: *shrugs* Sorry, I can't hear you over my heart.


• "You're about to fuck up Mulder," Krycek warned, eyes cruel coiled serpents.
  
  This sentence needs so much grammatical loving that I don't even know where to begin.


• Summary: After an attempt at fasting, Mulder and Scully find their St. Patrick's Day going swiftly downhill.
  
  Wait--we're supposed to fast on St. Patrick's Day?


• Okay. So here's an issue I'm having. (Warning--it concerns limb removal.) Alex Krycek had his arm amputated in a Siberian forest, either just above the elbow or a little higher. He wears a prosthetic limb. Now I am aware that I know very little about these things, honestly, but I find that I keep going, bwuh? in some fics.
  
  Let me explain. I've read a fic where he had to go through heroics to put toothpaste on a toothbrush. Look, I can do that one-handed. It doesn't take a lot of skill, just a flat surface for the toothbrush. Also, there was one fic where he just about couldn't get his pants off without help. huh? How the hell does he get dressed? I mean, I'm sure it's a pain, but still, after having this disability for awhile, you know he's figured out ways to cope. And now I've just read a fic where he is shrugging with only one shoulder. Okay, fine, I'm not really knowledgeable about prosthetics, and how the prosthetic is strapped on and that sort of thing, but I'm fairly certain he'd still be able to shrug both shoulders. /rant


• X-files/Animaniacs crossover. Also X-files/Monty Python. Um. Not making this up.


• One day, Walter Sergei Skinner was sitting in his office doing some work when a bee came by and stung him on the back of his neck.
  
  This is half of a fic. I am not kidding.


• [Skinner to Krycek:] "That's Mister Skinner-Krycek to you, Mister Krycek-Skinner.


• Holy cow, Scully's name is misspelled in the title of a fic. Bad sign.


• [Mulder's mom] had been rewarded with a little girl, a beautiful little girl with silky hair and grey eyes which would soon turn the crystalline color of arctic ice.


• It's hard for me to buy Krycek giggling all the time. It really irks me. Maybe it's because I haven't watched enough canon--does he giggle a lot? But there's one thing I do know--Skinner doesn't giggle. I'm reading a giggling!Skinner fic right now and it's a bit head-scratchy for me. Also, Skinner keeps saying "Christ on a crutch" and now I'm wondering if that's canon. ETA: He says it in multiple fics by multiple authors. *boggles* Is this some sort of fandom hive-mind, or is it really canon?


• Another one bites the dust
  Another one bites the dust

  There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man Queen
  
  Let this be a lesson to us all on how not to quote song lyrics. Or rather, how to quote them for maximum unintentional hilarity.

They have fiscal needs? Yeah, me too.

LOLOLOL is this one deliberate?

Fasting? Green beer doesn't count as food, right?

[Krycek] just about couldn't get his pants off without help
Are you sure that wasn't just a ploy to get Mulder to take his pants off? That sounds like something he would do.

One day, Walter Sergei Skinner was sitting in his office doing some work when a bee came by and stung him on the back of his neck.

This is half of a fic. I am not kidding.

The fic is two sentences long? "And Skinner went 'ow!' but luckily it was a normal bee, not one of those smallpox bees, so Skinner was fine. The End" Most boring fic ever.

Maybe it's because I haven't watched enough canon--does he giggle a lot?
NO. I have seen every single Krycek episode multiple times. Sometimes he does a villain chuckle but definitely no giggling. And about Skinner, I don't recall him saying that in an episode. "Fandom hive mind" has my vote.

Hey... do you want some VHS tapes of X-Files episodes? I have some store-bought ones but mostly ones I taped from TV. I don't really watch them anymore, they're just taking up space. Do you want them? We could split the cost of postage or something.

You and me both, sister. *grins*

"I'll end up feeling like I've been dipped in oil."

It really really frightens me that I figured that out.

And why would she feel like that? I don't remember them as being particularly greasy.

And I would not ever peg her as the mumbling type. Ever. Though I haven't watched the whole run, so I really don't know.

hee! The unitalicized stuff is my contribution. I couldn't resist.

It must not, because otherwise we've all been doing it wrong for ages!

Um. Yes, you've called it in one, honestly.

Your version is actually more exciting and interesting than the actual ending.

Seriously?!! omg, I'm so glad you answered this, because I've been really thrown by these giggling!fics. There was one really well-written fic where Krycek laughs and it startles Mulder, who thinks to himself that he's only heard him laugh half a dozen times, and that seemed so much more realistic to me.

When he comes back from Russia with one arm missing, do they really play up the prosthetic arm on the show? Do they show him doing anything with it, or is it just kind of alluded to and forgotten?

And thank you for telling me about the Skinner thing. I really was starting to doubt my sanity about Skinner. It just didn't seem like something he would say. But I've seen it in different fics by different authors, so I started to really wonder. Crazy!

Oooh. This is an interesting and fabulous offer. Hmm. I did miss a lot of the show, honestly--I only watched the first two and a half seasons, if that--but I'm not certain about watching more. Though I am intrigued about watching the Krycek eps. Probably more than once, at that. lol.

Can I think about it and get back to you?

[gmonkey42.livejournal.com]

do they really play up the prosthetic arm on the show?

Not really. They highlighted it in the final scene of Terma, to show the audience what happened - he was making tea and dipping the tea strainer in the water with his prosthetic hand. Apart from that, I don't remember it really coming up.

Sure, think it over! The videos will continue to sit in their moving boxes. If you're interested, I can make a list of the ones I have (which is something I'll need to do anyway if I'm going to get rid of them) and you can pick which ones you want. Unless you want to take them all off my hands! Because that would be cool! ;)

Oooh. Now I want to see the scene.

It's a fascinating kind of premise to explore--a regularly occurring character on a show, but now with a disability--and I'm really intrigued by the fanfic. Like, waaay intrigued with it and how people handle it. Some people ignore the entire event, some people drag it out like crazy, some people invent wild methods to get his arm back. Simply fascinating.

And I will totally think about it. I wouldn't cherry-pick--it would be all or nothing, seriously. *grins* I'll talk to Husband and see what he thinks. You really are the best!!

"Aw, not the Lone Gunmen. I'll... dup? Feelin' like... ??? and oil."

I think that's "I'll end up feeling like I've been dipped in oil." As in, they're slimy? Which, I guess is accurate. But, er...
