"A bunch of seasons" is little to say...
Just watched the first episode of X-files and what do you mean I have to wait a bunch of seasons for them to be together?!?!
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.
When I was watching the first 2 seasons of The x files I used to think that I truly couldnt worry about the characters when they were in danger because they are the mc's and cant die, but this show proved that "there are fates worse than death", because they go in tragedy after tragedy, and situations of emotional turmoil and most of the times is more sad than death.

A photo dump of Skinner in End Game - because @greygilberti is right, there aren't enough images of this scene with Skinner all bloody and sexy!

I only hate certain types of fic the same way I hate mosquitos and ticks. Like get these nasty little buggers away from me but also I respect their place in the ecosystem.

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.
Ooh please
