5/22/2023 0 Comments Scully tattoo xfile![]() ![]() (Sorry guys, I was “Team Sneaky Rat-Faced Dude with the Weird Black Shit in His Eyes, Though He was Evil Before That For Sure, Because One Time He Chased Scully on a Gondola, But He Had the Benefit of Not Looking Exactly Like My Father” Man.) Her tattoo is of…a male mermaid? A hot guy? An alien smoking a blunt, a la Paul ? (Shout-out to Paul !) I feel like she has a flirtatious relationship to her tattoo that is 50 percent more sexually charged than her relationship to life-sized cardboard cutout masquerading as a partner. The tattoo she gets definitely starts telling her to do crazy things, none of which I remember. The more I think about it, the more Scully was drugged and forced to get a tattoo. Or no…wait, maybe it’s that a guy with a tattoo starts murdering people, and Scully goes deep undercover by….getting a tattoo herself? Could that be right? I mean, in a way, that makes LESS sense, since it would imply that the logical Scully bought this dude’s excuse that his tattoo (which is of a mermaid, I think, so maybe he’s a sailor?) made him do it, which is the equivalent of catching David Berkowitz by adopting a dog. ![]() So anyway, she’s got this tattoo now, and the guy she was on a date with starts murdering people. (Rough.) I don’t know, but the point is: Scully is feeling lonely and vulnerable and has a lot of free air miles. Or wait, maybe she had just tried to kiss Mulder, but he got really moody because his sister was abducted by aliens, or because his dad is a dick who is also his boss. Why does the previously cautious and taciturn FBI agent make such a rash decision? How did she get to Taiwan/Philippines/Canal St? I don’t know, but it probably has something to do with aliens. I want to say this takes place in Taiwan, but it could very well be the Philippines, or anywhere in Asia, or possibly just a Chinatown. Urgent and provocative, We: A Manifesto for Women Everwhere is “part self-help, part social theory, centered in the idea that instead of having it ‘all,’ women can live happier, better lives by becoming more free” ( Glamour), from longtime friends Gillian Anderson and Jennifer Nadel.Scully gets drunk one night, or possibly takes Ecstasy, and gets a tattoo with some rando she picks up at a bar. She also co-authored the book We: A Manifesto for Women Everwhere, which centers on pay equity and mental health issues. Eventually, Anderson found her way back to television. The actress found a safe space in the London theater. Anderson shared that she had at the time been desperate to leave behind her iconic X-Files role when the show ended its original run. ![]() "I had a good couple of mini breakdowns during that," the actress revealed during the latest THR Roundtable Discussion featuring other actresses, Cynthia Erivo, Anya Taylor-Joy, Elizabeth Olsen, Sarah Paulson, and Mj Rodriguez. While Anderson's role broke important ground and inspired generations of viewers, she was keen to leave behind the role that caused her to suffer breakdowns. She returned the show's revival seasons in 20. She also starred as the character in two feature films- The X-Files: Fight the Future (1998) and The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008). Gillian Anderson played FBI Special Agent Scully throughout the original nine-season run of The X-Files (1993-2002). While studies have identified many factors contributing to fewer women in STEM fields-including gender discrimination, lack of encouragement from teachers and parents and harmful stereotypes-Scully remains a pop culture icon whose legacy extends far beyond The X-Files to the real world. Writer Kristen Cloke also confirmed that Scully was never written as the "second character." "When you start to see female characters who don't play into caricature, and what their position is with a man in the same scene, it's like, 'No, they're both equal. Scully also influenced medium/heavy women viewers of The X-Files to consider working in STEM fields (43 percent), study STEM fields (27 percent) and work in STEM fields (24 percent). Science has confirmed the Scully Effect: Research conducted by The Geena Davis Insitute on Gender in Media found that 63 percent of women familiar with Scully said she increased their belief in STEM importance, while 50 percent of those same women credited Scully with increasing their interest in STEM. Scully's professional success in the context of the show inspired the Scully Effect, which involved a substantial increase of women becoming interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and/or joining STEM fields because of Scully's influence. Ever aware of the sexism in the world around her, Scully worked with confidence in a field that (at the time) was dominated by men. FBI agent Scully, whose background was in medicine and physics, used her skills frequently.
