CSM and how the lies destroyed the Mulder family: a headcanon

I have a complicated and maybe personal image of CSM that to me makes more sense than whatever they tried to do with his character (since they changed minds so many times).

The focal points of his character are his envy, obsession with control and inability to love.

I think he really envied what Mulder Sr. had with his family, even before Fox and Samantha were born. He had a wife who loved him and above all he did his same job (more or less) but that hadn't turned him evil or selfless. I like to think of William Mulder Sr. as a decent and kind person, at least when he was younger.

Obviously, his life wasn't perfect and he and Teena probably fought a lot because of the secrecy of his work. I think that was the real first struggle about the truth that the Mulder family had (1°). Bill couldn't be honest with his wife about what he was doing and that created a distance. CSM may have taken advantage of this situation, growing closer to Teena maybe while Bill wasn't there for her.

Deep down in the headcanon tunnel from now on, I like to think Teena and CSM didn't have an affair but just a one night thing. Teena probably never forgave herself for that night and never told Bill about it (2°). Bill never asked, but understood what happened (3°).

At this point, CSM wants to have a relationship with her, but she refuses him and just wants to forget what happened. He's insistent and she starts hating him.

Soon after, Teena and Bill's relationship gets better and Fox comes into this world. Now. I'm not sure what to believe (pun intended) on CSM's being his father. Because, in this logic, he could but so could Bill. Surely CSM thought to be Fox's father and thought to have rights on him, no matter what Teena could say about it.

CSM marries Cassandra, they have Jeffrey, he tries to have what Mulder Sr. has but doesn't work. He can't love. His wife starts hating him, his son is a delusion for him. In the meanwhile, Samantha Mulder is born.

When the time of the abductions is closer, Bill and Teena get to choose which one of their children to "sacrifice" (4°). They painfully indicate Fox, because he's older and stronger, but CSM don't even give them the luxury of the choice. Fox is his son, so Samantha will go. That's the moment where the Mulder family irremediably shutters. Teena divorces Bill and Fox will never know anything about this from his family (5°).

Maybe after the abductees' return, CSM goes to Teena, offering her a possible life with him (this could be why he took Samantha and she wasn't returned). She doesn't believe him and swears to never talk to him again.

Samantha starts living with CSM, he has now what Mulder Sr. had, but again, he can't love. She understands that he constantly lies to her and hates him, so she quickly becames useless to him and he uses her for experiments.

His fixation on the Mulders keeps going, because he thinks Fox is his son, but above all because he likes him as a person. He challenges him, has a goal, a conviction, doesn't care what the others think about him. Maybe he thinks they are similar and that's why he sometimes protects him. But again, he doesn't know what love is, so if there's something more important, he's ready to sacrifice him.

He thinks he knows Mulder and tries to get him on his side more than once, but he fails. Mulder was loved and is loved, he knows what love means, he's kind and decent, even more than his father William.

He thinks he knows Scully because of his own past, but he understands nothing about her or their relationship, because it's the complete opposite of what he's ever experienced. ("You'd die for Mulder but you won't allow yourself to love him" he says to Scully in En Ami, while they're already in a relationship.) And he lies, lies, lies, the thing that made him advance in his life. At the cost of love.

What could really have saved the Mulder family, was the truth, that will become Fox's reason of life. If Teena told Bill about her moment of weekness, if he ever asked her instead of acting like nothing ever happened, there could have been hope. Hope to forgive, to go on. But what they did was the opposite, letting Fox enter in these net of lies. Hiding everything from him "for his own good". But that's not what he wanted and accepted ("The truth will save you, Scully. I think it'll save both of us").

The China Syndrome (1979)

Another day, another movie. Tonight we've got Golden Gate from 1981. Cast (with many familiar faces): Perry King - Jordan Kingsley Jean Simmons - Jane Kingsley Richard Kiley - Thomas J. Kingsley Robyn Douglass - Candy Martin Mary Crosby - Natalie Kingsley John Saxon - Monty Sager Melanie Griffith - Karen Peter Donat - Richard Bryne and many more

Story: A prodigal son comes finally home after a distressed call from his mother. However, eight years have changed a boy into a man and father. Jordan returns in the arms of his Mom and sister with his young son, only to find out that the newspaper run by his family is about to take over by a man named Sager. Even his own father is not happy to see him, not letting go of the past when the son walked out from San Francisco to go to New York. Thomas J. uses anyone to get his son committed. After some trouble with his wife who left him, he comes back and tries his best to please everyone. The only help he has is his old love Candy who is about to marry, and a young lady named Claire. Finding a good story about natural fuel and Sager's involvement here, the family disput grows and Sager does everything to get Natalie in his core but she remains loyal to her brother. At the last board meeting, father and son are ready to disput when the mother Jane uses her power to get all to her son. Now the father walks out. 

There’s a trailer on Youtube from my source (truetvmovies.net). The movie is not bad and well, the main reason can be seen!

I was gripped by a sudden onslaught of love for this man’s stupid old face and a violent desire to gif it, so have a few of my favourite weird expressions Twelve has made

#twelfth doctor #peter capaldi #look at my babygirl #and his beautiful face #nonverbal acting #twelve making faces #that lip bite is so fucking cute #i think peter should donate his mortal remains to science one day #so future generations can finally understand how that amazing face of his works

"Solidarity is learned through contact rather than concepts. When the heart is touched by direct experience, the mind may be challenged to change. Personal involvement with innocent suffering, with the injustice others suffer, is a catalyst for solidarity which then gives rise to intellectual inquiry and moral reflection" - Rev.

relay for life fanfiction tab fundraiser!

okay tumblr. stick with me now. hi! my name is emma and i'm a college student and i've decided to do something a little bit ridiculous as a fundraiser. a few years back, i ran an alt/fandom-themed tiktok page and i went viral with this video showing off my hundreds of ao3 tabs. i no longer read fanfiction on private safari browsing; instead, i have the duck duck go browser app and i use it exclusively for fanfiction. and i have over 3000 tabs currently open.

which brings me to my point. i'm fundraising for the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life event this weekend and i figured a really silly way to do that would be by revealing the tabs on my phone.

for every dollar donated, i'll choose a random tab from my assortment and share it online. publicly. i'll be doing it on my tiktok!

i'd need to raise over $3000 to come near the amount of tabs i currently have. and it's always growing. i've got some wild stuff in here...

So. If you want to support this in any way, this is the link! Even if you don't have anything to spare, feel free to reblog and share with every single person you know.

Irondad fic ideas #43

You know those fics where the media decides that Peter is Tony's son because they act so much like father and son? Usually we get some angst (paparazzi, both Peter and Tony being clueless self-hating idiots like "why would [other person] want to be associated with me?", maybe a kidnapping). Well, fic where at some point Peter chooses to use his newfound fame for good. On social media he highlights charities that need more support, and suddenly funds come flooding in. He uplifts marginalized voices (for example mutants, given the anti-mutant sentiment stirring in the MCU) and suddenly those conversations go viral.

Just. Peter facing this new turn of events with bravery and his usual motto of "with great power comes great responsibility."

If the world wants to view him as Tony's son, well. That gives him a lot of power that he can use to do a lot of good.

#tony watching peter be so overwhelmingly Peter about it all like #:') YEAH THAT'S MY BOY #some asshole media personality tries to tell tony to control his son and tony responds by donating several million dollars to every charity #irondad fic ideas #irondad fic idea #fic idea #fic ideas #one of the charities should be FEAST #because in this house we love and respect may parker #irondad and spiderson #iron dad and spider son #peter parker #tony stark #yes this fic idea was inspired by tom holland's recent instagram post don't @ me lmao
