#8daysofmulder

In the spirit of celebrating Mulder’s (canonically loose ties to his) Jewish heritage, @welsharcher, @agent-troi, and @randomfoggytiger have teamed up to create an event running concurrently with this year’s Hanukkah: The Eight Nights of Mulder! 

The prompts were created from themes we believe honor the spirit of Jewish culture while also incorporating the importance of Mulder’s quest in life. 

The event begins December 7th and runs through to December 15th.

If you would like to participate, please tag this account, one of our main accounts, or include the hashtags #eightdaysofmulder, #8daysofmulder, or 8DoM (because you know Mulder would enjoy that one!) 

Day 1: Gold

This theme was, of course, inspired by the tradition of Hannukah Gelt! It also ties into Scully’s necklace and the significance it holds in the relationship between Mulder and Scully.

Day 2: Heritage

Heritage plays a significant role not only in the traditions of the Jewish people but also in the ever-evolving secrets of the previous generation of Mulders.

Day 3: Celebration

Hanukkah is, after all, a celebration! And Fox Mulder is not a man to turn down the opportunity for an impromptu dance in a music hall with Cher or a night out playing baseball with his favorite scientist.

Day 4: Endurance

The Jewish people are known for their overwhelming endurance and strength; and Mulder definitely embodies these characteristics in his professional and personal life.

Day 5: Miracles

Miracles beyond the scope of human understanding are a hallmark to Jewish culture as well as the hopeful believer Fox Mulder himself.

Day 6: Dreidel

Dreidel is a fun Hanukkah tradition and game! Mulder, after all, enjoys a bit of fun and he certainly has been known to partake in his fair share of games.

Day 7: Potatoes

This was inspired by Hanukkah Latkas, of course! But also to honor Mulder’s mysterious and enduring preference for potatoes—buried under a full moon or baked into a pie.

Day 8: Lights
