My two cents on the William/Jackson paternity debate with receipts

Hi everyone, I know it's been a topic of debate for many years, but I gotta put my two cents in on the William/Jackson paternity debate. I believe that CSM lied about the paternity. Why? Because he's a known liar and manipulator for the entire course of the show (see every episode he's ever been in). Besides the cigarettes, it's his primary character trait. I mean, the man lied about Samantha being alive for like 30 years. He consistently inflates his power and position (see the episode "Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man" for example). In his "My Struggle" episode, he's clearly shown as an unreliable narrator (he says he faked the moon landing). I could go on...

Also, CSM claims to be everyone's father (including Mulder, Samantha, & Jeffrey) which might be true, but shows that he's obsessed with his own legacy and being a "god" or "creator" of sorts. (Didn't he also claim to be the father to some hybrid clones or something? Xf fans please fact check me on this).

Here's what I believe happened: CSM Reversed Scully's infertility in En Ami enabling her to get pregnant naturally a few episodes later in "all things." (This would track with the rules of the XF universe where experimentation on women's reproductive systems is unfortunately a common occurrence). Later, he did some messed up stuff to Jackson in a government lab (I've blocked out what he did because f**k CSM for experimenting on people). But enabling someone to get pregnant, and experimenting on her kid doesn't make you the daddy. That would be like a doctor who performed the IVF treatment and then tried to show up at the kid's graduation from Harvard saying "I did this! I'm the father." No one would buy it, and neither should we.

There are also plenty of clues that Mulder is William/Jackson's bio dad throughout season 11. Jackson's room has pictures of space, baseball, and other Mulder things. He's very brooding in a Mulderish way. He has Mulder's mannerisms, and looks, etc.

Listen, I know it's impossible to prove a negative, but we're dealing with a man who trades in lies and deception. A man who has made it his life mission to cause pain and suffering for Mulder and Scully. Claiming that he was the true father would be the ultimate heartbreak for them, and CSM absolutely delights in delivering that news.

So, right now you may be saying, "but Chris Carter said in interviews that CSM was the father! He said Jackson has three parents. That means it must be so." Respectfully, you can't trust what that man says about his own show either. Why? He also has a 30 year history of lying about plot points and trolling fans to get us riled up (source: me, a fan since 1997).

I think I've poked enough holes in his claims to at least get people to be skeptical, ya know? Sound off below.

I can't believe people are mad at the love shown to the videogame Pragmata.

Men (and women) are realising how lovely a paternal bond can be and are realising they might want kids of their own and people are mad about it?!?

Starting a family and being a father who protects kids, something that has been done since the beginning of time. You're mad at that?!?

I think some people forget that humans are indeed also animals with the instinct to survive, procreate and protect (for women, nurture etc.) our loved ones.

Paternal instincts are real!

But apparently, to these haters, people longing for something like that makes them bad people, incels and even pedophiles??

Even when men show a healthy form of masculinity they get mad. These men (including fathers) playing this game are showing you the most lovely healthy form of masculinity and you're still mad...

It's never good enough for these people.

WHY DO YOU HATE MEN SO MUCH?!

The clumsy daddy Diego Brando 🦖💔

I've spent at least two whole days reading stories about Diego playing the role of a loving and stupid dad (one of them was with Giorno—as a son or nephew—and others were with his little dinosaurs)... AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY MAKE ME CRY SO MUCH <//3

Diego is a terrible father in those stories, yes, BUT HE TRIES, HE TRIES TO BE LIKE HIS MOM, AND THAT MAKES ME SO SAD <//3 !

(=T 0 T=) WAAAA!!!

Someone please write more nice stories about that...

New

Old

I love this drawing, too; I think the vast majority of my well-done drawings are becoming my favorites, something I didn't find when I was younger. I like seeing this evolution in myself

Actually, the old version isn't that old, but I thought it was ugly from the start when I made it. So, since I'm addicted to redrawing my drawings, I decided to indulge my addiction, and this gorgeous came out🗣🗣

Oh, I almost forgot, initially it was supposed to be me in the old drawing, but when I was redrawing it, I couldn't draw myself, so I ended up adding his son in my place.

(I love drawing them in different styles from each other)

-Reposting because I don't admit seeing my drawings of them get flop🤬

For a new Hollow Knight game to explore paternity to the extent that Silksong explored maternity...

We would need all of the following representation in either the playable character or the supporting cast:

A father who learns that his child(ren) were never actually his, but now he's dying or too old to try again. His life was wasted and his legacy is dead. The most he can hope for at this point is ensuring that his values, skills, or traditions are passed on through another bug's children.

A father whose mate disappeared with his children, potentially before they were born, leaving him with no idea what happened to them. He probably has time to start over, but what if his previous mate returns? Does he waste his whole life waiting, or risk his old family returning and forcing him to choose which family to support?

A bug who doesn't have any idea he is a father until his offspring suddenly appears in his life. Did he sleep around (thus giving him some kind of context or warning) or did another bug steal his essence while he slept (and thus makes this development a total shock)? How irrefutable is the child's claim; are they lying or misinformed, or is the relation self-evident? Does the new father have time to completely reorient his life around this new child, or did his son only reveal their true relationship after the father dealt him a mortal blow in combat, a la Cuchulain and his son from Scathach?

A bug that was sterilized to become a eunuch, so that higher-class males could use him as a harem-guard that would never cuckhold them with the females.

Relatedly, a young bug that dreams of becoming a father and starting a family, but he dies in a meaningless battle as part of the political machinations of the ruling class, who want to reduce the childless male population to avoid the threat of a revolution.

A father who struggles to connect with his children, who care only about the mother that nursed them while their father was away working to support or protect the family.
