mulder is a special character because he's always right and no one ever believes him. it's such a hard position to be in and absolutely no one understands. he looks like a crazy person and yet he's the only true sane person.
Time for my monthly need to play minecraft build a house, a farm, some bridges, and go down the rabbit hole of mods to make everything cute.
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.
obsessed with the idea of immortal dana scully falling in love with mulder's reincarnation in every lifetime...
mulder doesn't have to always come back in human form. imagine after his death, a sunflower blooms in their backyard, and scully just knows! so she takes care of it and talks to it and it becomes her refuge somehow.
on a sillier narrative, imagine mulder coming back as a fox, and scully's just like, really?
i'm SO laid back, i only care about like 3 things in the world:
my favorite fictional characters and music
every person on this earth and their opinion of me
the crushing psychological weight of being alive
Going insane over this, if you need me I’ll be gnawing at the bars of my enclosure
I like creppy stuff and reading. She/Her. 20. Currently obsessed with The X-Files.
