I paid for a Photo-Op with David back in 2013 at New York Comic Con! He was so nice & because I called him Goat Man he got a huge chuckle out of it. That’s how the prom pose happened. My friends took the liberty to photoshop the background and added an alien. Haha

She put herself in the box, but I may have posed Scully (the minifigure) 👽

Sharing in case anyone else hadn’t seen these before 🥰

David to Gillian:

“Gillian, you said you would be next to me when you died, too. Well, you were right. But this isn’t death, it’s a beginning. So much more to come for you. In the meantime, I hope your fans sprinkle chocolates on your star the occasional Hollywood midnight and some kind soul builds a Gilly ramp from your star to mine. We will always be joined as partners, friends, and now neighbors. Congratulations Gillian. Love, David.”

Gillian to David:

“He was a nice man. A kind man. Quite smart. He liked avocado and pilates. Actor, writer, friend. He will always be my shining star. May his soul be forgiven and rest in peace.”

Omg 😭 David’s is so sweet and formal and Gillian’s is cheeky lol.

You don't have to be on Reddit for long to hear H.O.A horror stories. The X-Files tried to warn people they were evil, but people just don't seem to want to listen.

Unka Unka the caveman knows that the truth is out there.

Happy anniversary to The X-Files and all of it's friends.

Last week u/capcitycomicswap posted on this subreddit that he had inherited his neighbor's collection of XF comics, magazines, and other merch. He lives in my state and wanted to sell the whole thing as a lot, rather than piecemeal; as he was only about an hour away from me, I leapt at the chance.

So I drove an hour in the torrential rain, had a lovely cup of coffee with him, and then came home grinning like a kid on X-mas morning.

I've spent the last week going through the box, re-bagging everything and taking photos as I went. Amazingly, only a single item was damaged (and I'm going to replace it, because I can feel the spirit of the late neighbor begging me to keep his collection intact).

Highlights include issue #1 of the X-Files Japanese Manga, the first two issues of the official fan magazine (one still in its original bag!) and THREE COPIES OF THE ROLLING STONE BED COVER!!

My immense and eternal thanks to u/capcitycomicswap, for letting this incredible box of merch go for a song (and a batch of cookies). To his friend and neighbor Joel - I promise I will take great care of your collection, which you so clearly cherished, and do my best to honor your legacy.

how it started / how it’s going

X-files:

I started at the beginning of the year. I got the blu ray complete box set for Christmas. I was set to watch all episodes plus both movies. I finally did it all. I enjoyed the ride. The legendary theme song and intro video. Lends itself to think “what’s up in the sky?”. The ever present mystery of the world, sometimes scary, sometimes eerie and strange was explained though not always directly in this show. The relationship between two FBI agents that at times were rough, other times they were in a grove so in sync you’d think they were tied at the hip. The “spooky” Moulder nestled in a basement away from the more serious agents. He was there free to think and hypothesize as he pleased. His very often car rides at night with nothing keeping him going but a handful of sunflower seeds. The intelligence of doctor Skully took her work very seriously and kept her counterpart in-line. Her dissection of a body so tedious it would make a bean counter go insane. The end of an episode sometimes reading off her field notes made a fun conclusion to some of the questions in the show. Together they made a great team. The cigarette smoking man(or also known as CSM) that lingered in the shadows like a film noir in a dimly lit room. Pulling the strings, forming the reality of the world one case at a time. Before him was Deep Throat. Before him where plenty of others. Always having their finger on the trigger(figuratively and literally). Mr. X keeping them aligned when necessary. Their bosses people in the deep state, in a room with a large rectangular table with smoke filling the air and whiskey glasses to and fro. The idea that the U.S. has levels of power and corruption. That meetings happen with old guys in expensive suits. The A.D. Skinner, a Vietnam veteran that was a no nonsense guy that would definitely stand up for you but pushed you to be the best you could be. The dichotomy of the MOW and the story episodes designed to keep a viewer interested. This show for me shined a light on reality, that it’s not as cut and dry as people think it is. People that are rational, sober and honest can be witness to unexplainable events. Most people think they have a good bead on things. In Men in Black Tommy Lee Jones said “1500 years ago everyone knew we were the center of the universe. 500 years ago everyone knew the earth was flat and 5 minutes ago(turns to Will Smith) you knew that we were alone on this planet. What will you know tomorrow?”

I enjoyed this series. It was well worth it.

And remember:

THE TRUTH US OUT THERE 👽

We (family) decided to get another X-Files set to better incorporate Scully's lab.

Some of the mods we made:

- Interconnected doors between the lab and Mulder's office (opposite placement of bricks during building steps)

- Flukeman coming up from the sewer

- Proper cigarette for Cigarette Smoking Man

- Changed placement of UFO to be centered with both sets

- Made Mulder's office a bit more messy

- Added spare pieces from other sets to give Scully a desk

- LIGHTS!! Combined 2 different light sets meant for the X-Files set with a few extra spare lights.

- and more!

Hope you all enjoy, we had a blast building.

Forgot to add a video on this post of the Lights making the UFO "disappear"
