X Files + Textposts But My Perspective On The X Files Is Very Skewed And Stupid

how to say "I love you" in x-files [136/?] ⤷ 2.09 — "Firewalker"

My recent Mulder Walk-In headcanon - copypasta'd below - got a good response, so here's a tribute to the 90s X-Files comics showing a Walk-In replace Mulder to save him from his brain condition.

Details: season 8 of The X-Files reveals Mulder hid terminal illness from Scully (dumb). And somehow Scully the doctor missed it (dumber). And in season 9 he abandoned Scully and his baby child to hide like a coward (dumbest).

So what if Mulder was switched out by a Walk-In after the Samantha reunion in Season 7's Closure? This possession was to save Mulder from an even worse fate, but left him doing out of character things. When he returned from death (minus an autopsy, somehow - dumb!), he was still in place between both the physical and spiritual worlds, hence his running away after William's birth.

The Mulder we saw in the latter half of season 7 wasn't quite our Mulder. It could hide Mulder's physical status as a mirage. And this Walk-In Mulder even left a will asking not to be autopsied. Perhaps claiming to do so out of Jewish tradition or to keep his hybrid DNA out of official documents.

But really it was to ensure Scully didn't butcher his chances of resurrection. The Walk-In spirits knew the fate of the alien abductees, and had to 'replace' Mulder to ultimately keep him alive. Ultimately, after season 9, both versions of Mulder converged into one.

This would also explain David Duchovny's bored acting in season 7.

The X-Files, “The Red and the Black” behind the scenes featuring:

Gillian Anderson taking a phone break

Tom Braidwood in his job as assistant director, not in his role as Frohike

Jaap Broeker in his job as David Duchovny’s stand-in, not in his role as the Stupendous Yappi

i hate this place i want to go to build a bear

what is even the point of bookmarking a work you don’t like??? I don’t bookmark often but it’s always to come back to something that was special or exceptional to me in some way. If I don’t like it I’m not saying anything, I just assume I wasn’t the target audience and leave. 🙄🥸

That’s how I assumed bookmarks worked too until I started getting “6/10 not long enough :/” in the bookmarks on my fics in the last 2-3 years and then people on r/ao3 told me to shut up and be grateful readers even read my fic.

Jumping on the bandwagon Spooky Mulder style

Watching the first season of The X-Files and seeing all of these supernaturally menaced women is giving me a burning need for Normal Women Characters Who Can Just Deal With Supernatural Shit. Like suburban moms who know how to throw salt at ghosts.
