Rife with graphical lexia...

  • A more conservative, less sexual femininity:
  • Scully wears a long dress shape, of course associated with women
  • The shape of the bodice emphasizes her chest.
  • Overall, the dress is very conventional as a wedding dress. Nothing daring. On the other hand, Mulder is not in the usual tux – he’s in a modern suit
  • Here, the placement of Scully’s hand takes on a new meaning.
    -Having it on her hips draws attention to them, and to the eventual use for childbearing
    -Along the same lines, her hand and arm help to create a sort-of outline for the suggested growth of a stomach

  • A recurring theme of exploration of scully’s femininity: why?
    -Largely unexplored in show
    -Many of the fanfic authors are women - character identification
    -Emotional exploration of the characters is more often created by and of interest to women
