The Safety of Guilt

Summary: Mulder's guilt surrounding Scully's abduction

Rating: Teen TW: depression, suicidal ideation, a gun, gun imagery 732 words

Tagging: @today-in-fic

This is set in season 2, sometime between One Breath and Red Museum :)

She came back. She came back and she’s safe. She came back and she’s safe, so why is he sitting on his couch staring at his fully loaded gun? Why does he still blame himself if she’s safe now? Why does he still feel sorry for himself? Why is he still wracked with the kind of guilt that makes him want to empty his clip into his mouth?

It’s not the same, working with her. When he looks at her, all he can see is her gagged and bound in the back of Duane Barry’s car. When she speaks, all he can hear is her voice shouting for help, for his help. When he’s around her, all he feels is guilt, why couldn’t he save her either? Maybe it will be, someday, but it’s not the same working with her, no, not yet. Does she see it too? Does she hear it? Does she feel it?

He shifts, pulling his legs onto the couch and up against his chest. He rests his chin atop his knees and though the action is childish, it comforts him. He fights with himself, wondering if he even deserves to feel this comfort. She couldn’t have felt comfort while she was crammed in that trunk. She couldn’t have felt comfort while she was missing for months, months that she can’t remember. She couldn’t have felt comfort while imprisoned by her own body in a bed in the ICU. So what right does he have to comfort himself?

Occasionally, he imagines what happened. Where she went, what was done to her. He doesn’t welcome it, but alas, the mind can be a cruel thing. He almost wishes he never looked into abductions, alien or not. He hates that he can think of what happened to her. Ignorance is bliss, isn’t that what they say?

It’s strange to him, now that she’s back. Of course, he’d want it no other way, but working without her was something he had to get used to. He got used to it, but now she’s back, and he can’t seem to be able to worm his way back into the dynamic they had. Working without her, he could sit in their office all day and accomplish practically nothing. That doesn’t fly now that she’s back.

He doesn’t understand why he still feels so unmotivated. He’ll admit, to himself, that she was his motivation. He didn’t see it like that until they got shut down. They were partners, they worked together. And for fucks sake, their department is up and running again, all agents accounted for, so what the hell is holding him back?

He picks up the gun. He knows he isn’t going to do it. Not tonight. He flicks the safety on, then off, then on, over and over again. The gun is heavy in his hands, heavier than usual. He’s not going to do it. The thought is sickeningly tempting. He thinks back to the Eurisko case, when Jerry died. She’d suggested that he talk to someone, and he’d brushed her off. He wonders what she’d say if she could see him now. He flicks the safety off.

He shoots a quick glance at his phone and thinks about calling her. He doesn’t want to wake her and he definitely doesn’t want to have her worrying about him. She’d want him to call her. He flicks the safety back on. Thinking of calling her, of talking, leads him to realising just how quiet his apartment is. The faint sounds of traffic and the hum of his fish tank are the only distinguishable sounds. He finds himself reaching to pick up the phone.

He pulls back. He’ll see her in the morning. He can’t tell if he wants to call her because of some desperate, subconscious need to preserve his life or if he just misses the sound of her voice. A quick glance at the clock tells him he’d be able to get a somewhat decent amount of sleep if he laid down now.

He sets the gun down on the coffee table. He’ll continue contemplating whether or not he wants to pull the trigger some other time. The thought is always there, either out in the open, like tonight, or buried deep within his mind. Someday it’ll get better, someday that thought won’t be as common, he thinks. He hopes.

Friendly reminder that:

The concept of starseeds promotes ableism by minimizing or denying ADHD and autism.

The ancient astronaut hypothesis promotes spiritual colonialism and destruction of other cultures by twisting other people's mythologies and sacred texts to fit their narratives.

The reptilian alien mythology is based on conspiracy theories historically used to justify oppressing and murdering real people. Loosh/blood/adrenochrome harvesting is just repackaged blood libel.

New Age mythology is chock full of repackaged right wing conspiracy theories, the same kind pushed by QAnon.

It's also full of repackaged racist pseudoscience about genetic superiority/inferiority and the function of evolution.

Ascension to 5D was supposed to have happened back in 2012, and the prediction failed.

New Agers are recycling their predictions over and over to catch new waves of people who don't know the movement's history.

Belief in Atlantis is strongly motivated by white supremacy.

For more info, see:

WE have to come TOGETHER

a CALL to all the Starseeds, multiverse & astral travelers, light & shadow workers, empaths, multidimensional beings, Mystics & Esoterics and whatnot...

This is a hypnotic artwork of mine that has a collective purpose in which oneness shall make a positive impact universally.

You can use this for your practices on similar collective intentions so we all can gather up and connect.

So be it.

[song credit: Morwell - Let Us Make]

Looks like it's time to talk about starseeds and the New Age movement again.

Since I'm seeing more starseed content being posted, I'm gonna make another post on why the whole starseed thing and the surrounding New Age belief system are... not good.

So for those who don't know, New Age mythology is essentially a hodgepodge of cherrypicked and distorted myths from various cultures, racist pseudohistory, and far right conspiracy theories. To put it very briefly, starseeds are supposedly here to help Earth resist the reptilians, a race of politics-manipulating, war-starting, media-controlling blood-drinking aliens. For those who don't recognize the tropes here, these are basically all antisemitic canards. The reptilian alien myth as most know it today comes from David Icke, who ultimately cribbed a bunch of his material from The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, a Russian hoax created to justify violence against Jews. He was also influenced by the work of people like Fritz Springmeier, a hateful crank who based much of his work on other hateful cranks.

(David Icke, by the way, also claims that transgender is an evil reptilian conspiracy. You'll never find just one form of bigotry with these people.)

There are supposedly numerous alien races out there, and one of the most prominent among them are the Pleiadians, AKA Nordics. While modern depictions of the Pleiadians give them more variety in skintone, there's no denying that older Pleiadian mythology basically pictured them as Aryans In Space, even associating them with the swastika.

You see what's going on here? "Good" swastika-loving Aryan aliens versus "evil" Jewish aliens? Sound familiar?

Racism isn't just a tangential part of the starseed myth, either. It lies at its very core. It's inextricably tied in with the ancient astronaut hypothesis, which has a history of racist motivation behind it. The TL;DR is that a bunch of white people couldn't believe that non-white people had built a bunch of things they couldn't figure out how to build themselves (EG, the Great Pyramids), so they proposed that the real builders were anyone from Atlanteans to aliens. (Atlantis, by the way, never existed; it was a literary device created by Plato.)

One supposed purpose of starseeds is to help the world "wake up to the truth," which basically just means "convert people to New Age spirituality." New Age believes that world peace is contingent on a majority of the world being converted to New Age belief, and that resistance against their belief system is ultimately the work of the aforementioned reptilian aliens.

To put it another way, New Agers think they understand other cultures' spiritual traditions better than the actual members of said cultures, and think that anyone who disagrees with them is being manipulated by the conspiracy, or is an agent of the conspiracy. This includes Indigenous cultures which are already endangered from white Christian colonialism.

Essentially, endangered cultures cannot speak up for themselves and resist New Agers' efforts at cultural assimilation without being labeled a problem and an enemy. It's basically white Christian colonialism repackaged as "spiritual, not religious."

Again - if you heard from these people that some ancient text or myth describes extraterrestrial beings visiting our planet for one reason or another, you heard misinformation. They twist and misrepresent literally every myth and text they get their hands on. For example, you may have heard that the vimanas from Hindu traditions were actually alien spacecraft. They were no such thing. Or maybe you heard that the Book of Enoch describes aliens performing genetic experimentation on humans. It literally does not. At best, all of the stories they cite just kind of sound like aliens if you ignore most of their content and pay no attention to their cultural contexts.

The starseed movement preys on alienated people, especially autistic people and people with ADHD. You can look up nearly any list of signs that you're supposedly a starseed, and many of them will align perfectly with characteristics associated with autism and/or ADHD, or that people with these conditions commonly report. Some people within the movement even go so far as to claim that ADHD and autism don't even exist, but were actually made up by the conspiracy as a cover to suppress and control starseeds, which is some yikes-as-hell ableism.

So basically, people are being told that if they have these certain characteristics or symptoms, that means it's their job to spread New Age spirituality to defeat the conspiracy and help others ascend to the fifth density.

And what's the fifth density, you might ask? It's supposedly humanity's next evolutionary level, because New Age is also based on biological misconceptions. Supposedly once everyone's DNA "upgrades," they'll essentially morph into an aetheric form. Supposedly, this is preceded by a number of "ascension symptoms," including depression, headache, gastrointestinal issues, and any number of other symptoms that could indicate almost anything, including stress.

What many of these people don't realize is, this prediction has already failed. Back in the 2000s and 2010s, experiencing "ascension symptoms" was supposed to precede ascension to 5D beginning December 21, 2012. One lady, Denise Le Fay, was convinced that the hair loss she was experiencing in 2008 was an ascension symptom. As we can see by looking her up, she's very much still with us on the 3D plane these days, repeating the same tired old scripts New Agers recycle endlessly.

By the way, everything you near New Agers saying today about old systems being dismantled, dark forces being arrested or kicked off the planet, and new economic systems on the horizon? They've been recycling these scripts for years now. Take a look at this page written back in 2012. You got stuff about the complete dismantling of an enormous network of sinister forces," "the arrest and removal of a world-wide cabal," and a "new economic system."

("Cabal," by the way, is a dogwhistle term for "Jews.")

Furthermore, people in this movement are often encouraged to try and access past life memories through dreams or hypnosis, which makes the whole thing feel even more real to them. But the thing is, you can have incredibly vivid experiences about literally anything you put your mind to - the people in the reality shifting having vivid experiences of living another life in the Harry Potter universe are a great example of this. Just because you have vivid experiences, doesn't mean they have any bearing on anything happening in this reality.

So yeah, the starseed movement and the larger New Age movement are both extremely harmful. They promote racist pseudohistory, medically-irresponsible pseudoscience, conspiracy theories that target numerous marginalized groups, and functionally target aliened people with ADHD and autism to convince them that spreading its beliefs is their job.
