Poll idea: Do you interpret Margaret's scene in the finale as her leaving the army or not? (I made a poll about this once but yours will get more votes.)

It's so weird to me when people are like 'but that will cost the government money!' So what? They're the government, they're supposed to be spending money. What, you want them to take your tax dollars and then do nothing with it? Lock it all up in a big government vault and just look at it? Why are you so scared of giving a third grader lunch or a homeless person a house.

klinger hours again, thinking about how genuinely happy he is for all his friends when good things happen for him, his warm soft smile for the people he loves, the way he lies to his mother so she doesn’t worry for his safety, how he’s so kind to charles even specifically after charles is objectively awful to him, how he gives margaret his wedding dress, he’s so generous and good-hearted and kind-spirited i love him i would die and live for him

We should always remember that one of the reasons girls read more is that parents allow boys to leave the house more than they allow girls. Having nothing to do except read because you're stuck inside all the time is not privilege.

Went to the library to look around and found a few M*A*S*H DVDs. Which would be like whatever since I can watch it on the Internet Archive easily BUT since these are Finnish DVDs, they have translations, even for episode names. So here are the insane Finnish names of episodes from seasons 1 and 2. Translations under the cut.

Season 1:

Pilot = A Small "Party" at the Field Hospital ("party" is not Finnish which makes it sound really weird)

To Market, to Market = In the Black Market

Requiem for a Lightweight = Aether Hawks Coming In

Chief Surgeon Who? = The Unbeatable Chief Surgeon

The Moose = The Sergeant's Muse

Yankee Doodle Doctor = Surgeons in the World of the Marx Brothers

Bananas, Crackers and Nuts = Hawkeye Under Psychiatric Monitoring

Cowboy = The Wounded Cowboy

Henry, Please Come Home = The High Ranking Officer in a Spa

I Hate a Mystery = The Perry Mason Specialty

Germ Warfare = The Bloody Bunk Shortage

Dear Dad = A Christmas Letter for "Daddy" (again, "daddy" is not Finnish, making this sound incredibly sexual)

Edwina = Lovable Edwina

Love Story = Oh Dear Bach

Tuttle = Glory to Captain Tuttle

The Ringbanger = Hawkeye Style Soap Opera

Sometimes You Hear the Bullet = Death in the OR

Dear Dad...Again = The Surgeon's Nude Lunch

The Long-John Flap = The Cold Winter's Underwear Circulation

The Army-Navy Game = Surgeons as Bomb Diffusers

Sticky Wicket = Patient or Ego, Hawkeye?

Major Fred C. Dobbs = Korea, the Land of Gold

Ceasefire = Premature Joy

Showtime = "Showtime" in the Midst of War

Season 2:

Divided We Stand = Psychiatric Syndromes

Radar's Report = Corporal Klinger's Perverse Clothes

5 O'Clock Charlie = 5 O'Clock Comic Relief

For the Good of the Outfit = A Top Secret Find

Dr. Pierce and Mr. Hyde = Dr. Pierce, Tireless Operator

L.I.P. (Local Indigenous Personnel) = Marriage Conseling Running on Gin

Kim = Little Kim in the Mine Field

The Trial of Henry Blake = Blake's Boys' Forbidden Delights (sounds like a porno)

Dear Dad... Three = War Diary Pages for the Old Man

The Sniper = Ballistic Bustles in Blake's [_____] (Camp maybe?)

Carry On, Hawkeye = The Sick Medicinaries

The Incubator = Incubators at the Press Conference

Deal Me Out = Card Sharks and Macabre [_____]

Hot Lips and Empty Arms = Hot Lips and Empty Arms (wow)

Officers Only = Couple of Drinks at the Officers' Club

Henry in Love = Henry Blake and Midlife Crushes

For Want of a Boot = Pathetic Booting ["walking"]

Operation Noselift = Nose Surgical Views

Chosen People = The Korean Mother and the Bundle

As You Were = Gorilla Surgeons and Major Burns' Hernia

Crisis = Lack of Intimate Life

George = Deviants Out!

Mail Call = Man's Mail from Radar

A Smattering of Intelligence = Agent Orgy in Blake's Camp

You can say what you want about the quality of these translations but they're definitely more descriptive.

Also yeah, I know like none of you care but I do so whatever.

The definition of opera is very blurry and impossible to properly define (opera and musical theatre come from a common history and can't really be meaningfully distinguished, and there are other opera traditions that aren't rooted in western classical music) but for the purpose of this poll I'm going to be a traditionalist for a sec:

In this context, I'm defining opera as "A theatre production with costumes, staging, and a plot, where the story is mostly/entirely told through song, and where the singing is predominantly in a western classical (stereotypical 'operatic') style."

ie. shows like Jesus Christ Superstar or Les Miserables don't count in this case.

"Came back wrong" trope but actually the character came back right. A character who, when they were living, hid and changed so many parts of themself around others to appease them and, when they died and came back, they stopped doing so and started living as who they always have been. But everyone thinks they came back wrong because of how different they are

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?
