okay

so i saw a post about Lemuria Hub and the Deepsea Metro having ties to each other, and i have a conspiracy theory that's been rotting in my brain ever since i saw the Deepsea Metro map in Lemuria Hub

here's all your proof of that:

plus, the eye posters from Kamabo Co. being present in Lemuria Hub as well. it's pretty obvious from these that Lemuria and Kamabo are tied together.

we all know and remember Tartar's goal: bring back humanity. but the name "Lemuria" holds a lot more weight than most casual splatoon players might realize.

because i am a nerd, i looked it up.

From the Wikipedia page:

Lemuria, or Limuria, was a continent proposed in 1864 by zoologist Philip Sclater, theorized to have sunk beneath the Indian Ocean, later appropriated by occultists in supposed accounts of human origins. (...)

The hypothesis was proposed as an explanation for the presence of lemur fossils on Madagascar and the Indian subcontinent but not in continental Africa or the Middle East. Biologist Ernst Haeckel's suggestion in 1870 that Lemuria could be the ancestral home of humans caused the hypothesis to move beyond the scope of geology and zoogeography, ensuring its popularity outside of the framework of the scientific community. (...)

The theory was discredited with the discovery of plate tectonics and continental drift in the 20th century.

this (now disproven) theory ties in pretty neatly with Tartar's goal. "Bring back humanity". the implications of Lemuria Hub being tied to Kamabo Co. very likely means that Tartar's hypothetical new age of humans would have originated from Lemuria. Splatoon 3 seems to like a focus on origins, because we also get the origins of marinekind in its storymode, Alterna and the Return of the Mammalians.

but there's something else that caught my eye too.

SashiMori.

with the release of Lemuria Hub, nintendo brought back the fictional band, SashiMori! which is great and fantastic, but im pretty damn sure that they didn't bring any other bands back from Splatoon 1 or 2 completely unchanged for Splatoon 3. sure, OTH was brought back for multi-player OSTs, but in the form of Damp Socks. (and the idols are a sort of special case anyways.) Squid Squad returned only as Front Roe. Yoko from Ink Theory returned only in Yoko and the Gold Bazookas.

but nintendo didn't change SashiMori's presentation at all. the only thing that did change, and was notably very mentioned, was the fact that SashiMori's DJ Paul was older now. that's it. (nintendo also didn't change Acht. this is an important detail, but ill get to them in a minute).

Paul is pretty interesting when you look at him. there's very little information, but what we do have about him ties in pretty nicely with Kamabo Co., Tartar's association with humanity, and Lemuria Hub. for starters, Paul's DJ mixing for SashiMori is hailed as unique in universe, for incorporating human voices into SashiMori tracks.

From the Splatoon Wiki page on SashiMori:

Paul is the band's DJ, an Octoling. He is 10 years old in Splatoon 2 and 16 years old in Splatoon 3, and his favorite foods are kelp and biscuits. He remixes from sources including DJ Real Sole, DJ Octavio, and various ancient records, and is surprisingly talented for his age. Originally, SashiMori had a traditional vocalist, but they were replaced due to their self-centered personality, after which Paul was recruited through a tweet. According to the Japanese Family vs. Friends dialogue, he is friends with Marina.

(...) This music has vocals but no vocalist! Through the genius of DJ Paul, all the vocals have been sampled from a collection of ancient vinyl.

so, Paul and SashiMori are associated with humanity because they literally use human voices in their tracks.

here's the final nail in coffin to make it all tie together. it's a pretty popular theory that Paul and Acht "Dedf1sh" (who was sanitized by Commander Tartar and composed all the Octo Expansion soundtracks) are blood relatives.

Here's their designs from Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3:

Acht and Paul have the same symbols on their hats. their ink color even matches (from before Acht was sanitized). Acht has blue tentacles and red tips, Paul has red tentacles and blue tips.

even from the wiki trivia section of SashiMori's page:

In-universe, Paul and Acht are speculated to be blood relatives. They notably have the same symbol appearing on their hats, wear black clothing, with Paul wearing black T-shirts in both album artwork and Acht wearing a black dress, have three tentacles for their hair, and Paul's ink color looks similar to Acht's ink color before they were sanitized.

so what does this have to do with Lemuria Hub?

following nintendo's trend of splatoon artist releases with each season, they bring back an old artist and repurpose them into a new band or presentation. for Sizzle Season 2024, the band they brought back was SashiMori, but completely unchanged. (tangentially related, for the release of Side Order, they brought back Dedf1sh, also completely unchanged.)

the return of SashiMori completely unchanged breaks nintendo's pattern. alongside that, the stage released this time was only Lemuria Hub, and no other stage. (with the exception of Drizzle Season 2024, which released only Marlin Airport,) the trend has been to release two stages per season. this time, it's only one stage.

TLDR:

Kamabo Co.'s goal was to bring back humanity via testing and blending marinekind through the deepsea metro. Acht "Dedf1sh" was the musician of Kamabo Co., and sanitized in the name of this goal. Paul from SashiMori uses human voices in his tracks. Acht and Paul are very likely related. Lemuria Hub has Kamabo Co. posters and its deepsea metro map on display. the name "Lemuria" is associated with the origins of humanity via a (now disproven) theory. SashiMori's new music was released alongside Lemuria Hub.

SashiMori's new songs, with human voices mixed in them, playing over the train station of Lemuria Hub, which was likely an access point of some kind or tied in to Kamabo Co. somehow, is an EXTREMELY POWERFUL AND INTERESTING IMAGE. Lemuria Hub is hearing human voices for the first time via SashiMori's new songs, and it's been taken over for the one thing Tartar hated the most about marinekind: Turf War. (in a twisted way, Lemuria Hub hearing human voices is probably what Tartar wanted, but I doubt it wanted it like this. very ironic, i approve.)

so what does all of this mean? well... we can only speculate at this point. the themes of humanity in Splatoon 3 are matched in quantity only by Salmon Run lore (but, that's a whole other essay post, i won't get into it here). i personally think it means that we're going to see some kind of connection to humanity, OR salmonid development/lore in the next game. and with the FinalFest theme for Splatoon 3 being "Past, Present, or Future", im REALLY excited to see what it could mean. maybe Tartar's alive somehow, or maybe we'll get to look back at the evolution and development of marinekind, or maybe Lil Judd will finally snap since he's taken over Grizzco and the salmonids will have their apocalypse.

(as a final ending note: there's also a TON of association from all of this... with Off The Hook. OTH is associated with nearly everything here; its speculated Pearl was SashiMori's original vocalist before they got Paul, Marina is friends with Paul, OTH helped 8 break out of Kamabo Co., Pearl herself murdered Tartar with her voice; Off The Hook changed the world with Chaos vs Order, and Off The Hook is representing "the present" in the FinalFest. coincidence? maybe. who knows?)

Just saw this on twitter:

Its somewhat of an old news but still very relevant.

An excerpt from, Gold monetisation: An ingenious way of looting temple jewels by the DMK government by The Organiser:

"Gold ornaments offered by the devotees to nine major temples, including Palani Dhandayuthapani Swamy temple, Meenakshi Sundareswarar temple in Madurai, Subrahmanya Swamy temple in Tiruchendur and and Mariamman temple in Samayapuram, were converted into gold bars. The department has deposited gold bars weighing over 497 kg so far.

The temple properties, both movable and immovable, antique jewellery, and rare and invaluable idols, have been the targets of politicians, the international idol smuggling mafia and some corrupt HR and CE officials. Lakhs of acres of temple lands are being grabbed, alienated, and given to other religious people. Idols are being stolen and smuggled for a hefty sum. Rare and antique value ancient temple jewellery was reportedly replaced with duplicate ones. There is a strong cry to retrieve the temples from the government control and leave it to function independently like the Waqf board and Christian churches. But both the DMK and AIADMK are not in favour of it for reasons better known to them."

Hindus can't even control their temples which served as the central institutions of culture providing food, education, medical facilities, promoted cultural art forms, etc. And the same temples are being looted by these political crooks and cronies, but sure hindus are the "oppressors", ps: I despise this oppressor/oppressed dichotomy. Meanwhile this country has a supra judicial organisations, or board, usurping land left right and centre from literally everyone for the benefit of one religious community. And finally, now the government is attempting to do something about it, we have the leaders of that community making calls for street violence, international lunatic preacher intervening in Indian politics and the leader of a literal Islamic Republic comparing India to a nation rife with civil war and an active war zone. A true Banana Republic to its core.

Charles’s Angel(s)

Ch.12

Charles Leclerc x Reader

Author’s Note: FYI, if you haven’t been following along closely since chapter 2, I had the OC be Indian/a brown girl— Just because I felt like we don’t get enough representation. So if you don’t like that, I guess just either live with it, or blur that piece of information out as you go. Also: did I use some random ass generator wheel for some of the super specific information? Yes. Will I change it? Probably not. Did I check if that kinda stuff was even possible? …Mayhaps.

When you finally make it into the restaurant and sit down to order, you immediately spot multiple people, mostly young women, pulling out their phones, trying to (not so) discreetly take photos and videos of the two of you. You could just imagine the headlines and hashtags trending the next day.

Charles is immune to this by now and smiles and waves at some of the phones, and ignores the majority of the others.

Biting your lip, you scan through the menu. “Charles?”

“Hmm?”

“Would you mind recommending me something? I’ve never been here before”.

“Sure Chéri. Is there anything you don’t or can’t consume? I hate to assume, but I know that lots of Indians are vegetarian”.

“Ah, no. My family and I eat everything, so no worries”.

He orders a Tourte de Blettes for you and a Pissaladiere for himself.

“So. Tell me more about yourself.”

Not knowing how to go about this, you think for a while. “Well, I’m Indian, but I was born in Singapore, and brought up in America”. You count off a finger. “I was certified to be a music producer at a very young age, sometime in secondary school and I have a degree in forensic science. I really love singing, but usually only in my free time. I've actually been working at a producing studio here”. You scrunch your brows trying to recall any interesting details about yourself. “Um, I’m also a dance choreographer for a lot of Korean idol groups and produce music for them too, so I go over there from time to time… I don’t know. What exactly do you want to know?”

When you meet Charles’s eyes again, he’s looking at you with an adoring expression on his face. “You’re so cute, like a little angel. Mon ange” (My angel).

You blush in embarrassment. He asks you more about why you chose your major and what it’s like working with idols while you wait for your meals. “I’d love to hear you sing sometime”.

Just then, the waiter comes with your dishes. Whew, saved by the food! The aromas wafting off the delicious looking dishes are absolutely mouth watering, as if the sights weren’t enough. You begin to split your food in half, and he asks what you’re doing. “Oh- well, my family and I always split our meals equally to try everything, Sorry, I did that out of habit– I can take the piece back–”

“I think I quite like that idea. Here”, He splits his meal and gives it to you as well.

…

After dinner, the two of you decide to split the bill, because you were unwilling to let Charles pay in full, regardless of whether or not he earned more than you.

As you walk back home, hand-in-hand and discussing common interests, you find yourself leaning your head on his arm, and later, with his arm around your shoulder.

When you reach the door to your apartment, he turns to you and moves a strand of hair out of your face. “I liked getting to know you tonight, and I hope you will give me the chance to take you out again”. You make a sound of agreement. Knowing that you aren’t quite ready to have your first kiss yet, you pull him down slightly and get on your tiptoes, kissing his cheek. He smiles and kisses the crown of your head in return, and then ushers you into your home.

When he leaves, you send him a text. Thank you for the best first date ever.

🍀A Night With Nina🍀 - Total Drama Viewer Reacts to Disventure Camp Season 2 Episode 8 “Nightmare At Tipiskaw”

TRIGGER WARNING: BLOOD & GORE

Okay, this italicized part is an EDIT after the reaction. I need to put up a trigger warning for this episode as a reason why I might not show as many images as usual.

I don't think it's as bad as it could've been, otherwise I think OddNation would get demonetized. But to be on the safe side, THIS EPISODE/THIS POST IS NOT FOR THE HEMOPHOBIC.

I WILL put a TW in the tags as well so they don't see the post. But in case your account doesn't have the filter for this sort of thing, HERE'S YOUR WARNING.

Been awhile since the events of my life yaddy yada.

I don't have an intro.

Enjoy the reaction:

OH NO THE GO KARTS ARE BACK XD

Those karts are gonna be the DEATH of someone. I swear.

They almost killed a kid once.

"I'm the one who does the accounting. Remember?"

YOU?!

So that's where our taxes go...

"Because if I do it, I would be admitting that I was wrong!"

Dang. She's a brat.

But I get why. So I'm interested.

Oh the doll is recapping XD

Okay I like that. That's a good twist and shake up.

OH CHRIST

OH THAT ACTUALLY JUMPSCARED ME. OH MY GOD.

THIS DOLL'S GONNA KILL EVERYONE, I SWEAR.

"In fact, I was thinking of getting a tattoo when this is all over."

Okay, Lake, honey, I think that's going too far.

WAIT WHOA WHAT

WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THAT?!

WHAT?! THERE WAS NO BUILD UP!!

"Attention campers, an immunity totem has been hidden somewhere in the camp!"

An idol is back?

T h e i d o l s a r e b a c k . . . ?

WELL THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO KEEP IT A SECRET FROM THE AUDIENCE.

What was the point of keeping it a secret from the audience?

I WOULD'VE LOVED TO KNOW ROSA HAD AN IDOL.

I-

tumblr

I'm losing my mind already.

Just by LOOKING at an idol. I lose it.

I'm going to abstract. I have PTSD with idols now.

GET THAT IDOL OUT OF MY FACE!!!

"I found the totem minutes before the queens challenge started."

Wasn't Riya with you? Shouldn't Riya already know about this?

Considering, you know:

"You had a couple of hours to find the totem, and just minutes before the challenge started, it was finally found."

Wait what?

We didn't see who had it?

Are they keeping it a secret on who found it?

KRYSTAL SAID THAT. I REMEMBER IT.

I DISTINCTLY REMEMBER IT BECAUSE I REACTED TO THAT LINE.

Riya should already know. Right?

Unless she's secretly planning to steal it.

OH GOD THE COUNTER IS BACK.

STEAL THE IDOL FROM ROSA

NO SHE HEARD ME.

She's like "Yeah Rosa. Bold of you to trust me with that info. Not like I could think strategically, see you and Lake are threats, and steal that idol from you to dump your asses! I AM A FAMOUS AC-TOUR AND I WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY POWER!"

Why did I say that with a British accent? SHE'S INDIAN. COME ON ME.

I'm sorry for the disrespect, Riya! You can slay! This is my way of saying sorry, queen!

I love Rosa and don't want anyone to slay her, but I'm also like "DO IT YOU WON'T. DO IT YOU WON'T."

"I was searching with Rosa that day, and now that Lake is in the alliance is when she decides to reveal that she found the totem?! Why didn't she tell me before?! Does she not trust me?"

EXACTLY. THEY'RE ADDRESSING THIS.

Now Riya thinks her only 'friend' is going to blindside her and backstab her and leave her behind.

MAYBE YOUR PROBLEMS WOULD BE SOLVED IF YOU STOLE THE IDOL? HMMM? JUST A SUGGESTION?

"Maybe we should have focused that afternoon on the game so we go far together."

UH, YEAH, THAT WAS ON YOU GUYS.

Are they better or worse than Reality TV's Stupidest Alliance? I can't tell. But that's up there.

DON'T BLAME TESS FOR ANYTHING. SHE CHOSE TO ACCEPT HER FATE.

BLAME ANYONE, BLAME THESE GUYS.

"Meet me at the race track in fifteen minutes."

UH, SIR. I DON'T THINK THAT'S FIFTEEN MINUTES.

"Sorry for the wait, Marcus had a little accident."

DID THE DOLL KILL HIM?!

I can believe that, actually.

"I am more than happy to invite all of you to my fun game."

OH NO IT'S SAW

"Have you already forgotten that the puppet spoke when I held it?"

"I'm pretty sure that thing is a demon that's gonna kill us."

"Best thing is to ignore all of that and enjoy this night off."

Rosa, I love you, but you have a death wish.

"Let's go to the lake to see the stars."

"Great idea, Lake!"

Ah, AH? I get the pun.

"But first, I'm going to take a shower."

Well, we know who's dead.

"How about we watch... a horror movie?"

James, you secretly enjoy this, don't you?

OH NO AND THEN HE PUTS AN ARM AROUND HIM...

AND THEN THE CREEPY MUSIC PLAYS?!

LIKE GOD, YOU CAN'T NOT TELL ME THAT MAKES THE GESTURE SINSTER!

"Maybe when we're done and you're scarred, we can go behind the bushes and MAKE LOOOOOVEEEE..."

"HASHTAG EXPLICIT AO3 FANFICTION!! FOR THE GAY SERVICE!"

James. You make me uncomftorable.

OH GOD SHE IS A DEMON. SHE HAS HIM CAPTIVE.

I don't like how he's tied up...

Okay that bitch slap got a laugh out of me. XD

Why is the popcorn already in the pan like that?

If it was left out there, I don't want to eat it.

"I'm following you."

Okay, my brain went to, "I'm following you... ON INSTAGRAM!"

And James reaction is, "Oh neat! You follow me on Instagram? Great!"

PLEASE tell me that's the joke!

"Ew. Another follower who gets my number."

Oh... close enough.

"Do you like them better than your boyfriend Aiden?"

Why do you care about that?! Hello?! ANOTHER predator?

"He's not my boyfriend..."

Oh really? So what was the kiss? What was the attitude? What's with sleeping together? THESE AREN'T FRIENDLY GESTURES MATE.

This man's a predator, I swear to god...

You know what? GET HIM SERIAL KILLER.

Man, if only Yul was still here. Then I could watch hm get killed.

That would've been an excuse to keep him, at least.

OH JESUS CHRIST. WTF?!

I DIDNT EXPECT THAT. HOLY SHIT

HE ACTUALLY DIED?!?!?

Oh shit…

IS THIS VR AGAIN?! IS THAT WHAT THIS IS?! HUH?!

That's actually creepy holy shit...

Why does that remind me of something from FNAF?

Okay, why are we watching her shower? Come on now. We know she's dead.

Yep. There we go.

Bye Allyson.

RULE NUMBER ONE OF SURVIVING A HORROR MOVIE, NEVER TAKE A SHOWER.

GOOD THING THE SERIAL KILLER WAS NICE ENOUGH TO PUT A TOWEL AROUND HER XD

THAT'S NICE OF THEM.

Why was she wearing shoes in the shower?

"That puppet..."

Okay I know he's supposed to be angry, but he said that so DEADPANNED and I cant take it seriously.

Welp, Hunter's dead.

The doll just killed him herself XD

Oh you poor, poor, stupid boy.

The best girls can take em!

OH GOD

HEEEEEERRE'S JOHNNY!!

NO RIYA!! NOT THE QUEEN!!

"Do you know how to start the car without keys?"

"Yes, and don't ask me how."

Oh geez, Rosa. How many crimes did you commit for your child?

"You're going to be screwed for what you did, bastard!"

YES. SLAY QUEEN. AVENGE YOUR QUEEN.

LET ROSA COOK.

ROSA NO DON'T STAY BEHIND. NO QUEEN! DON'T!

"I grew up in a neighborhood where seeing assholes with weapons threatening others was the daily norm."

Geez, what a backstory. BEFORE DEATH.

HOW IS ROSA SO GOOD?

NOOO ROSA!!!!

YES LAKE!!! FIGHT EM!!! SAVE YOURSELF!!!

GET OUT, QUEEN!!!

OH SHE'S GOT EM

"That's for attacking my friends!"

"Auf Wiedersehen."

Guys? Lake is AWESOME? THE HELL?

NOOOO LAKE!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!

Oh they're alive.

I mean I knew it. Still. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE WITHOUT VR?!

I'm so confused.

BRUH. SHE'S NAKED STILL.

This is kinda uncomftorable

"Ketchup?"

Okay but why play dead though? I don't get it.

"Tranquilizers?"

Oh okay.

I still don't get it.

WAIT WHAT THE HELL?! HELLO?!

I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONE. WHAT THE HELL?!

WHY ARE YOU BACK?! WHY'D YOU AGREE TO DO THIS?

"But the producers gave me the opportunity to get back in the game if I cooperated for a challenge."

She's back?!

WHY ARE YOU BACK?

I didn't want her back. WHY?

"I hope that from now on, we can get along."

YOU KILLED EVERYONE.

"She also has immunity for her and two people of her choosing."

What? Come on now. Are you kidding me?

"Sorry guys, but the immunities go to Ally and Hunter."

Of course. I kinda figured.

IT'S PLOT ARMOR. IT'S BLATANT PLOT ARMOR.

They didn't even win. But the game became RIGGED to keep them around.

"We will have to vote for one of the girls. There is no other option."

BULLSHIT. LAKE WAS ROBBED.

TWICE.

"Which one would you vote for?"

"Lake?"

And now they're gonna boot her.

GODDAMMIT.

"I think we'll be voting for different people at this ceremony."

WELP. So James is screwed. Bye James.

"And as if that weren't enough problems already, Karol returned who hates us!"

"I mean she KILLED us for crying out loud!"

"I was the one who accused her in front of everyone."

And yet you take this so casually that you're gone tonight as a result?

"Of course I remember, and not once have I seen her blame you for it."

I mean, she should. He outted his own plan in front of her.

"She went to me! Only to me! She called me a traitor and she wants me out of the game!"

Really? Where was that scene?

"I hope you leave soon, Aiden! You are a traitor!"

🙄

James makes Aiden's life worse. I swear.

OH GOD.

KAROL JUMPSCARE.

"Aiden, calm down. I will not vote for you, nor for James, so don't worry, okay?"

Oh? Why?

"I'm just trying to turn the page and start over."

Are you serious? I can't tell if she's honest or not.

"But my therapist says that resentment is a drag on the road to recovery."

Oh. Maybe she is serious.

"How about Lake? There are already two challenges that she was very close to winning."

And the game was RIGGED AGAINST MY QUEEN.

Doesn't matter though, cause Rosa has an idol and can play it on Lake.

"I wanted to propose that we vote together in this ceremony."

Oh god no...

Riya the traitor?

STEAL THE IDOL YOU WON'T. STEAL IT YOU WON'T.

"Hmmm, who would it be?"

And the fact that she's intrigued.

The worst part is that it's not actually a bad strategic move. James's only lifeline is Aiden, and Aiden is a damn floater who would crumble without him. And if Hunter and Allyson are gonna work with her to take out two bigger threats, then...

Shit...

"Well, if what Ally said is true, Lake could be voted out tonight. I could tell Rosa to save her with her totem, but I have to think if that's really what I want..."

Oh so this is a test for Riya.

Friends or money? Hmmm...

"If someone has an immunity totem and wants to play it, now is the time to do it."

Ooh...

COME ON. PLAY IT. PLAY IT.

PLAY THE IDOL!!!

"Well, no one, so lets read the votes."

GODDAMMIT NOOOOO

'JAMES'

I hope it's James. Honestly.

'RIYA'

Wh-who voted Riya?

GODDAMMIT AIDEN. YOU DOOMED LAKE BY DOING THAT.

'LAKE'

There it is.

'JAMES'

'LAKE'

'JAMES'

Oh? Riya didn't flip? Or is that Karol?

'LAKE'

OH GOD NO...

NOOOOOOO GODDAMMIT!!!!

WITH AN IDOL SHE HAD ACCESS TO AS WELL. THAT'S THE WORST.

GIRLIE WAS ROBBED. SHE SHOULD'VE WON THAT IMMUNITY.

"Lake... it can't be."

DON'T ACT SURPRISED. YOU THREW YOUR VOTE.

YOU COULD'VE MADE IT A TIE. JUST SAYING.

"So sad you have to go, Lake."

That sounded so fake.

"Oh no... who could've predicted this? Sooooo saaaaaaaddd... Here's my sad face of pity.😪"

That's a better Indian accent I guess. I'm not good at Indian accents, I'm sorry.

"I'm sorry, Lake. I should have used the totem to save you."

Yeah. You should've.

"Now I am free, thanks to you."

Awwwww.

"I love you, Rosa."

"Awwww, I love you too."

AWWWWWW, MOTHER DAUGHTER

Riya's like "Uh... YEAH... I love you too Lake... no I didn't betray you what are you talking about?"

That was Episode 8.

GODDAMMIT LAKE NOOOO.

Lake was robbed. I will not be convinced otherwise. That was a very unfair elimination.

Karol's back. And... nice now? Even though she killed everyone? Idk.

I don't know why she's here.

Rosa has an idol. Riya decided to be a dirty traitor.

Which I'm intrigued by.

I made a JOKE in a previous reaction. Idk which one. About Riya being the evil queen. DID I CALL IT?

We'll see. Idk yet. But that's funny if I DID call it.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE PUT THE BEST GIRLS IN THE HEADING.

Hunter and Allyson officially have plot armor. You can't convince me otherwise.

STEAL THE IDOL RIYA. YOU WON'T. DO IT YOU WON'T.

Figured out my problem with the Grand Festival outfits: they're so beige. It's sad. SO was all about bringing COLOR to the world, the game's theme is CHAOS.

This.

This is order.

This is the vibes a Final Fest if Order had won would have.

The cleaner artstyle doesn't help. Yes, the image is gorgeous but it's all so clean and nice which brings out the sad lack of colors.

The easy solution was to add dashes of colors on the outfits, a bit like the Inkling walking in the area. Or! Base it on Holi! The Hindu festival where they throw paint at each other! I mean, Indian culture is a part of Splat3, it's mixed with Brazilian (who are also known to have colorful events) and Japanese culture. It fits with the games in general. The only problem is that it wouldn't be aesthetic enough for the idols, or that would just mean that they would stay their normal colors, so the white/beige could be tainted with splashes of different colors. If we're being extra, throw in holographic textures instead of metallic.

Chaos won so let's keep it chaotic until the end! Really hoping that we get new outfits and the map/aesthetic gets more silly as we hit the Big Run part of the finale. At this point, it's gonna happen, it's in the code and we know the Grand Festival was coded to last 5 days, not 3. Everything pointed to a last Big Run so it's just confirmation that we're getting it (specifically in the city) and the party's gonna get crashed

#text #ondina's text posts!#splatoon #splatoon 3 #i want the sunken scrolls outfits for DC BUT new ones would be amazing #I would love it if the Grand Festival outfits got messed up/changed at some point #it's like they were made for a variant #oooh I could see the idols have to leave at some point which would get color all over them

Splatoon 3 Shiver vs Frye vs Big Man predictions because oh my cod I think they might've found a worse theme than Gear vs Grub vs Fun

People are gonna ignore the theme actually being "who is the better leader" and say it's "who's the better idol".

^ Adding onto this, I think people are just gonna say that Nintendo claimed it was about leadership and not favoritism just to avoid backlash.

After Big Betrayal, I think a good majority of Frye fans are gonna choose Big Man instead.

The Frye and Big Man fans are gonna team up to make sure Shiver's win streak will finally end.

Someone on Frye's team will end up in the hospital and make a plaza post about it.

Tri-color is gonna be extremely broken and beyond saving.

Best case scenario is that either Frye or Big Man wins because, a) Shiver winning more than half the Splatfests is actually starting to piss people off and, b) Frye and Big Man need to win at least one more Splatfest.

Worst case scenario is that Shiver wins because of reasons I've listed before.

There'll likely be a war on twitter where people will argue over if all people who sided with Shiver only chose her because of her looks while also throwing in a lot of mischaracterization for all members of Deep Cut.

The results will bring up that they already have Marie as their boss so the fest was pointless.

Speaking of which, the Squid Sisters are gonna get PTSD from this fest.

Someone on twitter will make a thread claiming Nintendo is racist for making Frye (a POC who is heavily Indian coded) lose almost every Splatfest. And before anyone claims this is stupid, need I remind you of when ACNH twitter got mad at someone for using an in-game hairstyle?

A certain lying yellow gremlin will make some white washed art of Frye as well as some very controversial takes that will have him hated by even the Frye haters.

Someone on AO3 will anonymously post a fanfic about Shiver being tortured to death in a similar vein to the MLP fanfic Cupcakes.

Overall, the Splatfest is just gonna divide the community and probably drive some people away.

I'm gonna reblog this a week after the fest just to see how much I got right.

Stray kids fic recs

A skz fic list for those who’re too lazy to actually search for them (you’re just like me!!)

If any of the authors on this list do not want me to put their work on this list, I will immediately remove it, please tell me if you don’t want it here!

Personal favorites - ❤️

Kim seungmin

Scaredy cat

Very short and sweet, my favorite line has to be “speed run this bitch”. I absolutely love haunted houses fics and both the MC and seungmin being scared just made this twice as funny!

The minstrel, Kim Seungmin

(Royal AU) fluff, slight angst (wandering bard! Seungmin x princess! Reader)

This was just soooo cute! Seungmin and the MC’s relationship was just so precious and it really encapsulates how you could fall in love in such a short time. Totally read this, 12/10!

Entangled

(Spider man AU) (spider man! Seungmin x dj! Reader) fluff, angst, more fluff

OHHHHHHHHH MY GOOOOOOOD!!!!!! YOUVE DONE IT AGAIN! HOW ON EARTH ARE YOU SO GOOD WITH WORDS? YOUVE GOT LIKE THE BEST AU’s AND STORIES IM CRYING??? I LITERALLY LOVE YOUR WORK SO MUCHHHHH

Seo changbin

Sun and moon

(soft! Girl x rough! Boy) fluff, angst(?)

This was a very sweet fic, changbin was always there for the reader when she needed it and it was just such a calming read. It was very cute how they went from a fake relationship to something genuine and it warmed my heart!

Outside my window

(Shapeshifter! Changbin x reader) angst, fluff

Had a great bittersweet ending and I loved the overall theme!

The prince, Seo Changbin

(Prince! Changbin x princess! Reader) Angst, Fluff

I should also probably mention that I absolutely love enemies to lovers, something about how opposites attract is just so pleasing to see so this fic was just a gift from heaven! Changbin’s promise to the reader at the end was just so sweet and warming, totally read it if you’re a enemies to lovers fan!

Sprouts and their Joy ❤️

(Brother figure! Changbin/ reader) fluff, angst

Changbin was so sweet in this fic, he was such a good older brother figure to the reader and was always there for them, when he finally said “I love you” I think I almost cried. This was such a touching read and I totally suggest reading it!

Don’t call me cupcake

Chapter one: Changbin

(Resident evil AU) (Agent! Changbin x agent! Reader) fluff, teeny bit of angst

Bang Chan

The unbounded knight, Bang Chan

(Unbounded knight! Chan x queen! Reader) angst, fluff fluff, a lil suggestive at the end

This might actually be my favorite of this short series, aside from Minho’s one. Chan just seemed like such a happy lil dude and the reader was just so sweet when she warmed up to him, their relationship was very very cute!

Cinderfella

(Cinderella AU) (noble!Chan x princess! Reader)

Ohhhh I loved the swapped roles in this, Chan was so mature for his situation and always upheld his manners, to top it off he has so much kindness in him too!

Can you lend me a crayon?

(Single father! bangchan x babysitter adult! Reader) fluff, smut, lil bit of angst so far

Gee wowza, I usually don’t read fics like this but whooey mama. 13/10 absolutely loved the first part and am looking forward to the rest! The wording and structure of the story is sooo addicting and the plot is to die for! Keep up the great work!!!

Butterfly wings ❤️

(Indian dancer! Reader x idol! Bangchan) fluff

I had to re-add this fic here because it’s absolutely everything I have ever wanted in a fic! As a kathak dancer myself, this fic was to die for and I felt like my culture was really being appreciated here! Bangchan really gave off the vibes of a fanboy and I found it sooo cute! 20/10 absolutely would read again and again!

Yang jeongin

Heroine addict

(Superhero! Reader x journalist student! Jeongin)

So so cute, Jeongin was such a determined student and all those things he did just to see the reader was so sweet, the last scene really touched my heart. I felt like Jeongin was such a careful boy when it came to interviewing the reader, he never asked her personal things! 20/10

Brown sugar

(Witch! Barista! Jeongin x reader) fluff fluff

Just started reading from this author and I’m absolutely in love this universe already, you’ve gotta check out their witch! Skz universe fics!

Oh. My. God. The actual amount of investment I put into this fic was insane. I couldn’t stop reading it, both parts were immensely riveting and so much fun to read! The development across their ages was so well planned that it just had me wanting more and more. These two were the cutest ever 20/10!

Loving the monster

(Fae king! Jeongin x human! Reader) fluff, angst, there is some torture/ cruel pranks in this fic

Speaking in tongues ❤️

(general! Jeongin x arabian dancer! Reader) fluff, angst, violence

This was an actual master piece??? It felt like an actual movie reading this story, I can’t wait to read the final part omg! The story building and the writing was to die for!

Han ji-sung

Anything but normal

This was so cute ahwbwnwakaoshwbwk, their relationship was very funny and the way their personalities were written was just perfect 12/10 totally recommend

Do you trust me?

(Nerve AU) ongoing, fluff, a lil suggestive (?), very little angst

Honestly I was so happy when I found this AU, I’m a sucker for AU’s and a nerve AU on top of it? Sign me up. It was cute to see how their relationship blooms from strangers to friends as they complete dares together!

The blacksmith, Han Jisung

(Blacksmith! Han x crown princess! Reader) fluff, lil bit of angst

Very very cute, this was like a one sided enemies to lovers thing but Han didn’t hate the reader??? Well- it doesn’t matter, the story was very cute and the ending was so satisfying. My fav line has to be the one where the reader talks about how she might as well become the first queen to rule alone!

Hear.t fm

(DJ! Han x best friend! Reader) fluff, very little angst

This was so refreshing to read, Han switching to DJ J.ONE and back was funny to read when the reader would tease him about having a crush on J.ONE, 13/10!

Young God ❤️

(Serial killer! Han x reader) fluff, angst angst, completed

Oh when I tell you this was good good, it was like a full 30/10 for me, Han’s character was written so beautifully and carefully it just squeezes my heart! He was always so sweet and careful around the reader, I really felt bad for him when his past came to light. Such a good read, I totally recommend this!

Utterly lovesick

(Bsf! Han x bsf! Reader) fluff, angst

Summary: out of the 6 times Han attempted to get a kiss from you, he only succeeded 1 time.

For my great friend, you ❤️

(Idol! Han x assassin! Reader) fluff fluff, angst to a whole new level

Oh my god this is a master piece, there is so much I want to say about this fic. When the reader started playing “M.I.A” in the fic, guess what happened to me? I was listening to the “this is stray kids” playlist on Spotify and it suddenly played M.I.A! This fic had me going through so many feelings! The ending was super bittersweet but with an extra dollop of sweet. This is a must read!

Metamorphosis

(Black cat! Minho x reader) angst, fluff

Cute and sweet, short but a good read!

Green flames ❤️

(Slytherin! Minho x Gryffindor! Reader) fluff

Ok this was so cute and the TENSION between the two was so riveting! I loved this so much and would love to see a continuation! I re-added this fic here on the skz separate master list because I felt like it needed a whole other page of recognition! Def one of my fav reads thus far, 12/10!

This was just a whole bunch of crack and humor, the short series was surprisingly funny to read (check out the Han one too!)

The thief, Hwang Hyunjin

(Thief! Hyunjin x princess! Reader) very little angst, fluff fluff fluff

Ohhh this might be my favorite in this AU and I just have to give it to the author, you really have a way with words, I always find a smile on my face when I reach the endings of your fics!

Sparks

(Assassin! Hyunjin x assassin! Reader) fluff (?), some suggestive stuff but never escalates

I’d love to see a part two! I liked the idea of the reader being a flirty jokester and hyunjin being a somewhat emotionless dude! 11/10

Guard dog

(Werewolf! Hyunjin x reader) fluff fluff

Summary: Hyunjin takes up a date from one of his friends and ends up in an adoption center for dogs. Everything seemed to bother him until he met you, the person in a wheelchair willing to adopt a huge “dog” like him.

Backseat driving

(Street racer! Hyunjin x reader) fluff, angst (not too much, a little suggestive but nothing too bad

I remember reading this fic a while back and it was just so good! 12/10 totally recommend

The duke and I

(Bridgerton AU) (duke! Hyunjin x author! Reader)

fluff, angst (?), smut (you can skip it tho, i did it and it still made sense without the scenes)

Oh my god this was super good, I love how Hyunjin was always supportive of the reader’s writing and how he encouraged her and was honest with critiques. 14/10 you have to read it!

Back in time

(Prince! Hyunjin x reader) fluff, angst

God the ending really touched my heart, I hope for a part two or something like a continuation of this. I love how open the reader is and how nonchalant she can be sometimes, it just made her so charming! She and Hyunjin made such a good pair in this story!

Forward in time

(King! Hyunjin x Reporter! Reader) fluff, angst (?)

THISSSS!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! So this was basically an alternate version of the last fic and I loved it so much!! Hyunjin was honestly so hilarious in this story, the hair scene was definitely my favorite!

(Android! Hyunjin x reader) fluff fluff, teeny bit of angst

A thump in the night

(Vampire bat AU) (bat! Hyunjin x reader) fluff fluff

You’re short and he loves it so much

(Short! Reader x hyunjin) fluff

Lee Felix

When a flower blooms

(Gu ardian fairy AU) fluff

This was short and sweet, very very cute 13/10 recommend it

The prince, Lee Felix

(prince! Felix x thief! Reader) angst, fluff

This one was a little more sad compared to the Seungmin one but was super good regardless! I feel like their relationship is still young and that they’d need some more time before they really can understand eachother but this was totally a good read!

Hero’s soup for the weak soul ❤️

(Superhero! Felix x best friend! Reader) fluff, teensy angst

Oh My GOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDD!!!!! This author is so talented I swear to god I’m going to fill this entire rec list with only their work at this point. This fic was so cute and funny, Felix is pretty lazy but super affectionate and the reader’s just a diligent school worker, the best type of pair!

Off the deep end

(Rebel! Felix x royal-ish! Reader) smut, angst, fluff

This is such a good series bro actually I would buy this if it was a physical book! 12/10 I absolutely love how the story is progressing and can’t wait to see the end! (It’s also enemies to lovers so 👀)

Ot8 (poly)

Autumn daze

(3racha x reader) fluff fluff fluff, humor

You find out that they’re a vampire

Ot8 (separate stories) x reader (fluff, angst, humor if you squint)

Authors you just have to check out!:

@jeonginks

Oooh I really like this author, their oneshots are so long it honestly feels like I’m reading the script for a movie.

@straykidshoe

Ok so- this author is absolutely amazing! A lot of their straykids stories cater to Indian/desi people and it’s so heartwarming!

I have something of an idea of what the final Splatfest could be, and it's a central theme within Splatoon 3: the Anarchy Poisons.

The Anarchy Poisons are somewhat central within Splatoon 3, with the idols individual Splatfest themes referencing this. (Bird Mix, Snake Mix, and Boar Mix, respectively.)

The final Splatfest theme could end up being a "pick your poison" type of deal, where your choice will end up leading into the next game, whether drastic or not I'm unsure.

How this works is that the poisons are based off of the three poisons/unwanted roots of Buddhism, to which the rooster, snake, and pig (/bird, snake, and boar) are central symbols. And they represent three mental states: greed, hate, and delusion. Given there's already a theme of one idol going AWOL in the following game (the one who lost the previous game), this could lead into something interesting with the fourth installment.

I don't think it would be what we think though. Given this time it's be two losers and one winner, it may be something where the winner of the final fest becomes a bit too consumed by their own poison, so the two losing idols have to divise a plan to get through to their friend.

Though, then again knowing Nintendo they could pull something out of a hat, but I mainly say that it'll have to do with the three poisons because of context clues.

Previous final fests have had something to do with a hidden or implied theme within the game. With Splatoon, which Squid Sister did the population prefer? Who was more popular? Granted in Splatoon, it was the first game, and so they probably just picked the easiest of themes, but I feel like within the game there was always that question of who was more popular.

Splatoon 2, we understood the theme better as the game went on, and with the added addition of Octo Expansion. Pearl is a rich girl who's chaotic in nature, and seems to love the idea of new heights, new things happening. Marina, not so much. Because she's scared to lose someone she's so close to. Pearl if I'm not mistaken was the first person Marina met after she left her life within the Octarian army, so she likely feared the idea of things changing as a result. Thus, she wanted order to maintain her life as she grew to know it.

Now, back to the potential Splatoon 3 final fest. I'll say this too, it wouldn't be something like "Greed v Hatred v Delusion", the final fest would probably be something more like "Bird v Snake v Boar", which also represent the cultures they represent as idols. (Shiver being Eastern Asian/Japanese culture, Frye being Indian/Middle Eastern culture, and Big Man being Brazilian culture.) So, in all truth, it could be one theme shrouded as another, where in the next installment, the one or more of the idol poisons take over

Again, this is just speculation/theory, but I get the idea Nintendo may be sneaky with this final fest. And why not be sneaky with the theme right under people's noses?

#splatoon #splatoon 3 #final fest #splatoon 3 final fest #shiver frye and big man #cant say their idol group name because of uhm #yeah 🤩#watch me be dead wrong lmao #moth's musings #putting in q because nobody is gonna see this at 5am lmao

The most magnificent example of this is offered by Indian morality, and is sanctioned religiously as the “Law of Manu.” In this book the task is set of rearing no less than four races at once: a priestly race, a warrior race, a merchant and agricultural race, and finally a race of servants—the Sudras. It is quite obvious that we are no longer in a circus watching tamers of wild animals in this book. To have conceived even the plan of such a breeding scheme, presupposes the existence of a man who is a hundred times milder and more reasonable than the mere lion-tamer. One breathes more freely, after stepping out of the Christian atmosphere of hospitals and prisons, into this more salubrious, loftier and more spacious world. What a wretched thing the New Testament is beside Manu, what an evil odour hangs around it! But even this organisation found it necessary to be terrible,—not this time in a struggle with the animal-man, but with his opposite, the non-caste man, the hotch-potch man, the Chandala. And once again it had no other means of making him weak and harmless, than by making him sick,—it was the struggle with the greatest “number.” Nothing perhaps is more offensive to our feelings than these measures of security on the part of Indian morality. The third edict, for instance (Avadana-Sastra I.), which treats “of impure vegetables,” ordains that the only nourishment that the Chandala should be allowed must consist of garlic and onions, as the holy scriptures forbid their being given corn or grain-bearing fruit, water and fire. The same edict declares that the water which they need must be drawn neither out of rivers, wells or ponds, but only out of the ditches leading to swamps and out of the holes left by the footprints of animals. They are likewise forbidden to wash either their linen or themselves since the water which is graciously granted to them must only be used for quenching their thirst. Finally Sudra women are forbidden to assist Chandala women at their confinements, while Chandala women are also forbidden to assist each other at such times. The results of sanitary regulations of this kind could not fail to make themselves felt; deadly epidemics and the most ghastly venereal diseases soon appeared, and in consequence of these again “the Law of the Knife,”—that is to say circumcision, was prescribed for male children and the removal of the small labia from the females. Manu himself says: “the Chandala are the fruit of adultery, incest, and crime (—this is the necessary consequence of the idea of breeding). Their clothes shall consist only of the rags torn from corpses, their vessels shall be the fragments of broken pottery, their ornaments shall be made of old iron, and their religion shall be the worship of evil spirits; without rest they shall wander from place to place. They are forbidden to write from left to right or to use their right hand in writing: the use of the right hand and writing from left to right are reserved to people of virtue, to people of race.”

– Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

Well Tae is considered most popular because, as you said, he's most popular in Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand and India, which are countries who has most armys. And disturbngly loud ones too. As an Indian, most army here are younger than 18 year old who are taekookers and has Tae as bias. They are so loud on sm but there's no use in buying or charting. Most lives with their parents and probably steal their parents phones to watch their idol lol. While for Jimin's fb, if there's 10 stans, most are employed and mature... they don't have time to be unnecessarily loud on sm under every shipping and random videos to chant "Jimin is most popular,Jimin is most popular" lol but they can actually reflect their efforts on real charts.

Now to US, fortunately they seems to favour Jimin and JK who release songs which are easily appealing for public than any other members, thus have a stable fb in US and chart way higher than others. US charts are given extreme importance by Fandom, company and boys.. like the final boss chart lol and as Jkk's numbers are way higher on BB chart they are automatically seems more successful than others.

But most surprising was Tae doing around same numbers as rapline and even lower sales than yoongi's dday was a big blow to 'most popular idol worldwide' stans😬😬😬 I atleast thought he'll debut in 40s lol.

Yes. While I knew he wouldn't get No.1 I didn't expect it to be that low. But US Army didn't buy Layover and there was no radio play. Thats a terrible combo.

However, like u said, he is doing amazing in Asia so I hope that makes him feel better 😁😁🥰

BridesM*A*S*H Revisited, Vol. III

I had finally had the wherewithal to start taking notes in this season, so comments for this one already exist, but now they exist more. Much more.

Did I adjust my viewguide again as well well of course!!!!

M*A*S*H Season 3 Notes Again Sorry!

3x02 ‘Rainbow Bridge’

Starting S3 with ‘Rainbow Bridge’ means it’s lights up on Loudon Wainwright III up on a knoll singing a song directly to the boom operator. Glad about it.

I mean just absolutely love the move of it though, truly. Our camp we know but from angles we haven’t seen before---we’re back, but fresh! Season 3 crushes. Televisually.

So many scenes in this one I think, this scene is one of my favorites. Father Mulcahy so sweet bidding them farewell with “Be good! And if you can’t be good, be careful :)” ... Henry stumbling into him in the doorway and stammering “What the hell--?! Oh I’m sorry Father, I thought you were a regular person.”

Without even really thinking about it, bleak cozy spiked coffee at the impromptu senior team meeting in the midnight mess tent is literally this blog’s “banner scene” of M*A*S*H, and why honestly not.

“Margaret I feel that if we absolutely have to we can be honest with each other.” Larry this line kills me.

Also unreal of them to pull out both “Could be a trap, Trap” and “Can I be frank, Frank” in less than five minutes of each other. It’s the most right way to do it though. Haha okay looked this up and: it was Larry Gelbart. ‘Course. He knows.

Trapper: “We got a ton of stuff, we could stay on the road for weeks.” Hawkeye: “Suits me, I don’t wanna open on Broadway until we’re ready.” There’s something about a Gelbart joke

Was talking with my dad recently about when Frank was Robert Duvall, and how they’d angled much more into Frank’s Christian faith in the movie. It’s an aspect of Frank Burns that is paid mention in dialogue fairly often in the show version, but rather less so in practice. Case in point, that he is never one to bolster the position of Father Mulcahy, but rather it’s Hawkeye & Trapper who are always like, here he comes! our most special chaplain! look how cute he is

ESSENTIAL update from Alex upon reading me say this:

Ah, but Frank is PROTESTANT. That does not ally him to the Catholic priest in the 1950s if you’re Frank, possibly not in the 2020s if you’re Frank. Recall Henry mentioning he won’t tell the Father that his golf club doesn’t admit Catholics. This was my thought literally as I was drifting off to sleep 😅: “Oh it’s not that Frank is a Protestant, it’s that he worships at the false idol of patriotism”

LARRY’S FALL WHEN THE BUS TAKES OFF I HORTLE

There is, as far as I can tell, no reason for Hawkeye to be wearing a knit cap for half of this episode. Everyone is just in mid-weight canvas, including him.

Oh there’s a random Indian Army officer in this 4077th crowd shot! Well that’s a nice detail.

Love this giant cracked ding in the windshield of this bus. Their equipment is all so…..ramshackle.

PROP COMEDY

Big ups to Mako btw, what a guest cast stalwart for this show

3x03 ‘Officer of the Day’

Once I started saying “I’m a symphony in coordination,” my life improved and so did my coordination.

I can’t start making M*A*S*H fanvids because I would put Hawkeye getting dragged upright from sleep with his hand still holding his pillow to his head in every one of them.

How did I forget that within minutes of Hawkeye having to be in charge of the 4077, FLAGG rolls up on them

This Korean man named his sons Marshall and Elroy

One of the reasons I love chain of command as a narrative feature is the way responsibility runs in all directions. Officers are responsible for looking out for the enlisted underneath them, and the enlisted in turn are responsible for the way their actions will reflect on their officers when they are called in front of *their* officers. It’s actually a very interesting power dynamic. And Klinger and Hawkeye are such good figures to play around with the nuances of this, as they’re probably the most resistant to being involved with the Army at all for each of their rank classes. So watching them have to step up and navigate this web of responsibility between them they’re reluctantly but unavoidably trapped in, is just really tasty.

Hawkeye: “Can you identify yourself?” Korean civilian: “Oh, this is me! :D” This is perfect

This episode really Flagg at peak monsteerrrr. I like this so much for him is the thing!!! It’s good to have a comedic villain who is also horrifying! It’s creepy, it’s unsettling, it’s good.

“Well gee I don’t think it’s too much to ask for one guy to ask another guy to turn his head.” Gary.. impeccable

Hawk & Trap real in sync together this episode too. I mean as always.

God, sorry, just still feeling about it a moment: the comfort of them always being on the same side. It’s a harbor in this godawful situation. “Whoever the them, we were always us!” My mischievous shabby turtledoves…

Weeping, Hawkeye what is a “hotel dick” even supposed to be, and why is Henry dodging them. And why must you do this in front of Flagg. Even Trapper askances a glance.

“a snootful of trouble” is unfortunately a VERY GOOD PHRASE tho

The amount of little LOOKS between these two this episode! And with Hawkeye looking so cute today.

Margaret: “If I didn’t hate violence I’d kick you.” Hawkeye: “Would you? With high heels?” Theerrre it is

Can’t believe Flagg called them both cutiepies and fruitcakes this episode. Lot going on.

Still dazed that we already thought the dropped-adjective construction “the pinstripe suit of all time” was hilarious all the way back in nineteen seventy goddamn four. M*A*S*H Anne Carson “There’s no such thing as anachronism all time is now” moments

3x04 ‘Iron Guts Kelly’

Is Trapper wearing nothing under his scrub top. Babe think of others.

Y’know, I’m beginning to wonder if we were supposed to think General Kelly was already experiencing like, small strokes

General Kelly: “Are we under attack?” Henry: “I always feel that way, sir.” Henry Blake’s canonical generalized anxiety

Love when Margaret just, glimmers at someone she’s interested in. World-class glimmerer.

SHE COMES TO THEM. IT’S THE RISK IT ALL FOR HELP FROM THE FAE THING gawd I go wild for it.

Igor: “Come on over, we’re having a party with some of the uh, local lovelies.” Hawkeye: “No thanks, I’m a happily unmarried man.” This is the way you’d say you were gay in a movie from the ‘40s

Even the way he remarks “Devil :)” to Trapper’s warning that they might have to ‘pinch’ the girls sounds, somehow, like a homosexual

Loretta Swit using Hawkeye’s elbow as an arm rest is one of my favorite moves I have seen, ever, in my life. And I’ve been watching a lot of Buster Keaton lately.

Looove them all just pulling on their MARGARET& HAWKEYE& TRAPPER shirts, and Frank’s like ….when did you even MAKE these??

“Margaret it’s so unlike you having them here.” “Well it’s alright Frank, it’s unlike them too.” LOlolol

Hawkeye’s funny fearful little “Trap-” as the dead-weight general starts collapsing on him was a moment on first watch that I felt a little hook lodge in the stuff of my heart, not likely to come out

Is this Alan’s cutest season?

Part of it is hair part of it is the half-sleepy eyes he keeps training on people. I’ve a thing for resting white under the iris. Sorry to be SO specific I just figured this out once looking at Diego Luna.

“I appeal to your patriotism, your sense of fair play.” “Make up your mind.” [mutedly] Yea

I love when an early seasons episode is just like, Ta-daa: Margaret Houlihan. You can tell by how extra funny she is, but also things like her face having this little twitch of “that’s not really fair” after nervously & irritably cutting back to Frank that of course perverts like Pierce & McIntyre would be fooling around with a dead body. One of the reasons why Margaret has been an enemy so far is because she appears to lack discernment. Her judgement meter seems broken, because she likes the Army and she likes Frank. But as her flat support of these things start to crack, a real character starts showing through, who isn’t flat at all. The third dimension of characterization is individualized tastes and opinions I seem to be arguing, and sure why not!

Radar’s breathy “Wohww”s a key feature of my M*A*S*H Soundscape ASMR

This episode’s derision toward the American military…sparkling

3x05 ‘O.R.’

I was very hungry but delayed dinner and had a martini instead, and am about to rewatch the episode that last time on the painkillers threw my nervous system into the nearest constellation. ABC Always Be Choices !

Hhhhgh see I love the no laugh track episodes when they were cut that way all along. The difference is Pronounced.

“I got a repeater here—these look like your stitches, Hawk.” “If they look like stitches, he isn’t mine.” A joke I didn’t post last time but will now: me, already taking off my sweater: Goddamnit Hawkeye

Piping in the sound from the movie because they’re going to be there all night, the atmosphere this episode has…. It’s an all-timer, I wasn’t wrong on the opiates

Kissing the hand that fixed your wounds is!!!

“Frank & Hotlips of old Seville”

The Spanish guitar over all this—sublime sublime sublime sublime

I’ve thought about arranging a 4077th film festival, watching the old movies they watch on M*A*S*H. This one, the Gene Tierney picture... Reply if you’re interested, I will do it.

However they edited the heart scene….my own heart, IN my throat

Klinger giving blearily waking up Trapper concerned A-frame eyebrows, Radar walking in offering orange juice, “Freshly squozen”—adore the corporals, adore the vibes

Low on supplies, Henry, desperate, and knowing he knows: “Scrounge, Radar, scrounge.” This episode is everything. All texture, I can feel it against my skin.

Wait hey so who called Sidney ? Why is he here?

Oh my god he came for the poker game, and found this instead. God no wonder he’s so soft on them, his beleaguered besties.

The corporals literally fainting on their feet because of how much blood they’ve given!

Hawkeye: “Welcome to the club. [The blood] stains right through, I never wear underwear.” Fuck.

It’s so right that the heart patient doesn’t make it. 20 points to the writers for knowing that. And that Hawkeye didn’t.

Sidney: “Some patients insist on on dying, Hawk. You knew that going in. But you had to be a doctor.” Hawkeye: “I never had any choice, it’s all I care about, it’s all I ever wanted to do.” Fuck, fuck.

Hawkeye shaking with silent sobs over his next patient on the table jeeeesus!!!!

Trapper John McIntyre this episode the camp’s tall steady Saint Bernard. Work work work, catching a quick deep nap, get up and put out a literal fire, gently hold a sandwich in your mouth as you carefully check your partner just collapsed with sleep, then carry him off safely home.

What gets me with “No one’s seceding us, at all,” is the sense of them having just been left out here.

3x06 ‘Springtime’

Rewatching this one merely because I think “It’s spring, sir!” all the time. Let’s see if it lives up to it!

Ohh and this is also the one where Hawkeye gets adopted by the marine

Just realized Dylan of Dylan’s Kitchen delivers “Good night!” very similarly to Alan Alda, which means now I’m imagining being a patient and getting that, then a real life hard cut to Hawkeye rasping “Good morning.”

Just dragging his shirt up to show his belly to the sun, what…..who….

Giggled way too long at Radar “I guess that’ll be all”ing Henry after he relays that his comics have arrived and he evened out his cot legs for him

Once again, the things about each other’s bodies that Frank and Margaret find erotic is thrillingly bizarre. What’s the list, Frank flaring his nostrils, the sunlight shining through the hairs of Margaret’s ears, anything else I’m missing from their picnics?

Y’know I was probably unforgivably wrong to not include the one where Klinger flings himself upon the grass in his purple chiffon scarf reading Rupert Brooke

KLINGER PRANCING DOWN THE SUNNY HILL

Wait is this the one where he gets married???!!! Omg!

“Dear Dad, I’m bringing home a Marine. He’ll be the son you never had.” Several things. 1. Canon that Hawkeye self-narrates in the construction of a letter he’s writing his dad, terrific, had been imaging that 2. Trans klaxon 3. Linda Bloodworth & Mary Kay Place: Thank you, ladies

Really curious about the back-zip T-shirts the women wear in this unit. Like what’s that like.

Wait didn’t I see something about….oh my god, yes, THIS is Mary Kay Place. This woman was like, gonna write an episode where I’m seduced, successfully, by Radar O’Reilly, and then just made that happen. What a fucking hero. She Did That.

“Oh I’m always browsing up on a new poem.” Same. Real ones can ask for which poems I’ve reblogged in the last eight months that are actually about M*A*S*H.

Oh my gosh, baby, did you borrow one of their horrible Hawaiian shirts!

“You don’t give a girl a chance do you?!” MARY KAY PLACE I LOVE YOU. I mean couldn’t be me but HUGE RESPECT FOR YOUR CONCEPTS.

Wait omg omg Klinger is marrying Laverne Esposito! A Latina! Omg this household….

Hawkeye wore a hand-me-down tux and Trapper a kimono over his bare chest, a large side bag, and a tiny top hat fascinator. This is a gay couple fancy dress look, I don’t think I need to explain.

Klinger coyly peeking from behind his bouquet for Trapper’s pictures, stop

Hawkeye just called Frank & Margaret “Scott & Zelda,” LORD

Margaret: “You have your nerve, wearing white.” Klinger: “Jealous?” JAMIE LMBO

Do not you DARE insult Hawkeye’s nose! His nose is what makes his profile and his profile makes me insane!!

Father Mulcahy’s racing recitation of the end of the marriage ceremony to beat the radio clock blessssss

The wedding march as Radar walks in covered in lipstick, what an EP

How many times does Radar lose his virginity on this show anyway? Three times? Four? This is my favorite one.

“Why can’t you sirs just act like sirs, sirs?” Listen, you can’t ask them for the impossible, they’re tapped out from their surgery sessions.

3x08 ‘Life With Father’

Sometime, just watching the credits, it still astonishes me that M*A*S*H is a show that bazillions of people have watched and loved for 50 years, and not just a specific weird thing I’ve seen

Unexpected for me that one of my favorite running jokes is the Tabasco Film Company of Havana, Cuba. I just like the titles.

Simply LOVE slouchy wan theater jester and his golden jock boyfriend. Just strollin’ around camp, Trapper is literally tossing a football to someone with a grin while Hawkeye is furrowing a quizzical brow at a piece of paper. They’re like if two high school stereotypes ran the school together and were boning. This is why they’re so powerful.

We need more appearances by Captain Epstein, the paratrooper waterskiing rabbi

“Oh I don’t think she’d want anything flashy” sends me

Margaret: “I don’t know which one of you is more obscene.” Trapper: “He is, we took a poll.” Another for the “Am I winning, or losing?” records

Watching someone work from several live phone as satisfying to me as watching some sort of physical feat sometimes I swear

“...Do I know what you’re saying?” William Christopher <3

“Mea culpa, mea culpa” as his mic test, FATHERRR

Hawkeye stop commenting on Trapper’s ass, this is a bris

This plot line is just so sweet

Guffaw, I still can’t believe the horse. What was this show.

3x09 ‘Alcoholics Unanimous’

WATCHING A MOVIE IN THE TENT IN THE RAIN I’m sorry but atmosphere. The film screenings are so atmosphere.

Hawkeye leaning back on an elbow with his bent knee up making little remarks with Trapper at his shoulder: a photo set

Hawkeye: “Alright we drink. We drink so we can get through these lousy stinking 48 hour days.” Trapper: “We’re cold, filthy, lonely.” Hawkeye: “Scared, bored, tired.” Trapper: “Frightened, and very drowsy.” Which of these is your fanfic title, I’m going with ‘Scared Bored Tired’

Just another terrif S3 showing for Margaret. Again, notably *not* in lock-step with Frank, but has her own little motivations and storyline. Which once again sends her careening in with Hawkeye & Trapper, who increasingly welcome her into their shenanigans when she’s like this, because as Jody puts it, drunk Margaret is shaped like a friend.

The amount of objects Margaret has that her parents gave each other on their wedding night…was that whole night an exchange of gifts…

Trapper: [fidding with a lock and keys] Hawkeye: “C’mon, c’mon, Fingers.” Fun.

Loretta’s startled whoop of surprise, WHAT the hell she’s so funny

“You’re the woman my mother always hoped I’d be.” Hawkeye, again with this

GOD. The three of them together like this is the dream of that one S1 promo pic.

Margaret's “Who was that?” in the running for funniest line on this show imo

Interview with the editor who chose laughter with a slight “ohh” at hungover Hawkeye saying something blithely mean to Trapper

Freezing with their blunt force objects raised to stare at each other, my boys

“There’s no film. I’m live. Now, back to where you last heard from me.” This is beautifully surreal, Father, I’d go to every service you deliver like this.

3x11 ‘Adam’s Rib’

Radar going “Terrific outfit, Klinger!”, my little heart

Klinger joins this uprising like he’s walking into a dance hall

I like that a lot of them are being pulled along by just sheer force of energy from Hawkeye. Igor has the dazed look of someone half hypnotized.

The hard cut from the chaos to Henry’s face, irate, and then Hawkeye, staring unfocused into the skeleton ribs in his office, is good TV. What is it Potter says about him at some point, sometimes you just gotta let him get the bit in his teeth and run until he tires himself out?

Or in this case, gets a second wave when he pivots his efforts.

A real under-the-radar early entry in Hawkeye Is Kinda Mad For Real. Trapper is just sitting here watching him going “Henry, get him the ribs.” He’s now talking about getting a burn on his lip from them and keeping the scar alive as long as he could—“The pain was exquisite.” Babydoll…

Wait also realizing this is an under-the-radar Great River of Commerce episode!

The best thing about Klinger wearing curlers is that his hair is short enough that he doesn’t even bother trying to wrap it around them, they’re just pinned in bare. It’s all for the accessory of it.

“Korea! Rhymes with Dye-ah!” Radar hun what

Radar: “[shrug] It’s dialing.” Hawkeye: “I love her.” Radar: “It’s a him.” Hawkeye: “I love him.”

“And it’s beautiful. I hear.” Trapper. I love you. Why did you even make this comment about his lingerie. He’s just being supportive. Or hooking up with Klinger on the side.

This is also, incidentally, an under-the-radar Trapper episode, in which we learn he’s so good in bed that this woman is gonna do this favor for him after a one-to-three night stand SEVERAL YEARS AGO. Alright, Big John..

God, “honey” REALLY IS HIS GO-TO

I’m picturing all my favorite redheads trying to imagine who I think funny, sexy airhead Mildred is. Though I guess I need to go back to the 1970s. Who were the best 70s redheads, sound off in the comments.

Pierce do you need your hand on Big John’s shoulder with your fingers slipped up under the collar for this whole dictation to Radar

“He started with ‘drop dead,’ and then he got rude!” Radar, my beloved

Why on earth is it suddenly chilly this scene. I mean SURE THING because it means them standing around with their hands shoved in their pockets, an iconic silhouette, but also why

I love the supply major. What a good one-off antagonist side character. A fully realized guy.

SO ENTHUSED with his sergeant being who is actually in charge, of course of course of course

This script is fantastic truly though. The reveal that he’s from Chicagooooooo. The reprise of forgetting the coleslaaawwww.

LET HIM WOLF DOWN A COUPLE RIBS!!!

3x13 ‘Mad Dogs and Servicemen’

Introduction of Radar: animal lover

And also another by Linda Bloodworth & Mary Kay Place!

Nurse, remembering as she pulls up for air: “I’m engaged to a pilot.” Hawkeye: “So am I. Just hope it’s not the same one.” Bloodworth & Place: The Dreamteam

“Frank, I defy you to show me a medical book that lists the word ‘gaga’.” TRAP \o/

Trapper is absolutely ready to throw hands at “slug-nutty.” For once Hawkeye is the one placing a placating hand on his shoulder to let this one go, let’s just go help the kid.

Sometimes TV problem-solving is both obvious and elegant, and this is one to me. They haven’t budgeted Allan Arbus for this, either financially or in his availability, and so the fix is Hawkeye talks to him on the phone one-sided and then has to carry out the therapy himself: doubles as a win for DRAMA

Looove the wry reluctantly charmed little smile he’s giving to Sidney’s silent lines we later learn include “you’ll be wonderful”

Trapper is just really focused on this mental health case. It’s interesting! Several headcanons available here.

Radar: “Poor little doggy, all alone in a foreign country, lost…” Henry: “That dog is Korean, Radar. It barks in Korean.”

Rosie knows all the goss

Hottieness Spectrum by Wanda: __ Made in heaven __ Adorable __ Not bad __ Need help __ Really hurting Girl this is so funny

Kills me that Scrabble has not changed their design in 50 years

We don’t hear much about Trapper’s wife, but she sounds pretty great honestly. Her letter about adopting Kim, the fact that they clearly just casually chat enough that she’s told him he’s easy to talk to—I think they probably have a good relationship actually.

Frank, mystified, amazed: “Margaret, I was wrong.”

Trapper taking a quiz in Ladies Home Journal to find out if he’s a thoughtful wife was just casually in the coda to this episode---Linda & Mary Kay!!!

3x14 ‘Private Charles Lamb’

Radar is so sweet with the animals. You can tell Gary Burghoff really loves them.

Wait this is a Dear Dad episode! I forgot!

Henry: “I will Never understand how you can hear me before I ever call you.” Radar: “I guess it’s the same as cows lying down on all fours just before it rains.” Wait are we getting Radar clairvoyance lore

What GAME are they playing with the salt & pepper shakers

Radar once traded long johns slash a night with a nurse for a rack of lamb, and now here we are

My dad once texted me asking which episode it was where Hawkeye & Trapper are feeding each other, and I was just wrote back, you’re gonna have to be more specific.

PA: “And now, back to the Korean War. Because You Asked For It!”

Henry saying “Abyssinia!” into the phone on rewatch feels kinda like a ghost has flown through you

Henry: “Everything in this country disappears except me. Boy would I like to wake up some morning, look down and find myself gone.” Hey so actually, just watch this one instead of ‘Abyssinia, Henry’

The like, hallucinatory zooms on the guitars

Trapper’s meandering whistling, strumming this ukulele as they all slowly dance, too drunk to speak….riveting vibes

5x15 ‘Bombed’

I like how ‘Bombed’ just opens like this. Immediately it’s bombs. The smoke blowing toward the camera to gradually obscure the camp is so good.

Man they just really blew up Henry’s office windows, huh

“Anybody’s scared, just let yourself be scared. You have nothing to fear but fear itself. Eleanor Roosevelt.” Henry…

The Nurse Sanchez thing is all over the place. Defending her from Frank’s bigotry, also making fun of her constantly.

This episode is really like, So how many things can we throw at them before the mid-episode act-out? 500 live explosions, a North Korean tries to attack them from the table, Henry Blake and Father Mulcahy are blown up in the latrine and rescued but Mulcahy is heavily concussed and Henry now has his arm in a sling, then another wounded soldier comes in to the O.R. booby trapped with a grenade under his arm. It’s been less than 8 minutes.

This man at HQ telling Radar he isn’t being shelled is another great one-off side character. They’re not a dissimilar type, come to think of it. Both like, youthfully bureaucratic.

Radar: “I did not hang up on you, I put the phone out the window and it BLEW UP.” This man at a desk: “Reluctantly I have to admit the latest intelligence tells me you are being shelled, but there’s nothing to worry about, you’re being hit by your own artillery!” “[pause] Well isn’t there anything you can do about it, we’re being wiped out!!!” “I tried to phone the observation post directing the fire, but they’re all at the Bob Hope show….”

Margaret: [is the one to get the jammed door open] Trapper, appreciably: “You ARE strong! :)” What a woman, what a man

Margaret: “—oh and Pierce needs rubber gloves.” Trapper: “Clothes horse.”

MARGARET’S LITTLE HIDDEN SMILE AT HIS BENCH JOKE

Goddddddamn, goddamn goddamn :)

One of my movie podcasts mentioned The Yearling last month and one of the hosts described it as quote, “the kind of movie that gets wheeled out in class, brackets derogatory,” and I had to remind myself again that they have a Tumblr (follow This Had Oscar Buzz)

I cannot get over how every note that Wayne Rogers plays here is so perfectly toned to make a girlie unravel. He’s genuinely so comforting and kind, then just has this *nearly* unresistible combination of being both warmly seductive and reassuring non-threatening—telling her about his youth as the most responsible boy in his grammar school on cracker day and assuring her he’s probably too beat anyway as they just curl up to sleep.

We haven’t seen Hawkeye since surgery ages ago, which I love on itself—it’s true that most stories ended up being about him as the show went on, and it’s fun to see other people living their little lives where he’s just a background character. But I also love it here specifically for the creation of this moment, where suddenly he reappears with Frank on what we immediately presume must have been their hilarious joint mission hunting through the camp for their better halves. “Hello hello hello!” he crinkles, so pleased at what they’ve found.

Alan Alda always looks so boyish in the helmets. They all do but he does especially.

“He didn’t even study medicine in his own state!” Frank, is that the way you’re trying to somehow make it a negative that Trapper’s an Ivy League grad. Fucking Dartmouth…I’m obsessed with this. Boston working class surgical wunderkind John McIntyre rolling into one of the most prestigious colleges in the country with his crooked grin and his curls and his dropped R’s, those boys didn’t stand a chance..

Ohhh I love when they incorporated Seoul City Sue! One of the most interesting little bits of historical propaganda

3x17 ‘The Consultant’

Radar careening into camp in a jeep with this jaunty number on the score…yes

Hey what episode is it where Hawkeye and Trapper come loping out of the mess tent or the Swamp or somewhere because of something going on outside and as they sort of skid to a halt Trapper reaches a hand out to steady Hawkeye by the small of his back? They’re wearing their lab coats I’m pretty sure. I couldn’t remember if I dreamt this up on the morphine derivative, but then I know I saw it or *possibly* another instance in a fanvid somewhere, because I remember it happening as they crossed from left to right in frame, and that bit was from right to left—this doesn’t happen *twice* does it?? Anyway help Me.

This shot of Radar and Henry bidding them goodbye against the blue sky is so cute

Hawkeye makes three jokes about girls in as many minutes and then as if he suddenly feels imbalanced, comes on to Trapper and then this surgeon in quick succession

Corrugated tin pool at golden hour….

Frank: “Degenerates!” Trapper: “You peeked!” Wow .

He just doesn’t need to hold and then draggingly drop Trapper’s wrist like that. Right in front of his coffee.

“Well it all seems perfectly grisly. And quite correct.” British camp has such a pronounced air of unreality. Somehow this too has a Catch-22 affect.

Frank standing on a stool to crane over as they all watch the arterial transplant….what an episode. There’s so much real stuff going on in this one!

It’s such a perfect cautionary tale to have it be Alan Alda’s own father. This Is Your Future.

3x18 ‘House Arrest’

These two joyfully jostling into each other will be the death of me

The carefully choreographed physical comedy of this scene, you know they had so much fun. I like the very measured pace of it, everything is doled out with such easy precision.

Henry: “Look Frank, we’re all a bundle of nerves! The heck, I yell at Radar all the time.” Radar: “I know you love me, sir.”

Just felt such a warm wash of affection just looking at all the accumulated objects in Henry’s office

Hawkeye: “Ohh, stranger in town! Don’t talk to me, I’m bad.”

I do enjoy how randy the Colonel nurse is. If only this plot line went in just a little bit of an entirely different direction!!!

The Colonel: “Now then, tell me about that doll.” Margaret: “Ma’am?” Frank?

Henry: “Klinger! It’s four o’clock in the afternoon and you’re still in a housecoat? Put on a dress! You never know who might be coming around!” Is this peak

The mark on Frank’s cheek is honestly not a bad makeup job.

You don’t need to feed him like a baby bird! He doesn’t need to feed him like a baby bird! Godd! Boys!

“In the eyes of the Lord, a prisoner’s a prisoner. :)” Father Mulcahy lawyering within Christianity to help out his peeps with any tangible thing he can do is always a favorite.

I mean truly I really do need to see the movie with Vincent Price and Gene Tierney. I loved her in The Ghost & Mrs. Muir!

Hey something is occurring to me: are all the films they get in black & white, regardless of whether they were actually shot in color? Because I’m discovering Leave Her to Heaven sure was. Did studios also make like, cheaper black & white copies (IS it cheaper?), the discount cuts available for this kind of distribution? Or maybe like, their projector will just render everything without color as it doesn’t have like the projector version of cones or whatever? Oh I think I’m about to slip feet first into a real rabbit hole.

Henry inexplicably crying watching the movie….god it’s really like he’s already becoming half a ghost…

The thing is, she straight up is trying to get him to put out by promising him favors! She’s using her position of authority to pressure him! She’s lying about the strength of the drink to get him drunk! All played for laughs! It’s not great, Bob!!

Lol how does this plot line end up sucking SO bad. Real testament to the power of Hawkeye, Trapper, and the Father in this that they can even overcome it for me

3x19 ‘Aid Station’

Oh my god, I only know this because I’m suddenly remembering my dad saying it once or twice, but jesus “AC/DC” used to mean bisexual. That did NOT cross the generational divide!! Anyway Hawkeye just called Henry at least bicurious.

Incredible tone to just simply be like, the aid station surgeons were killed and we have to send replacements. They were killed.

The perfection of Klinger dictating his will to Radar of each nurse he wants each of his dresses to go to

This Loretta monologue one of the only things guaranteed to make me burst into an appreciated whoop at the end every time. It's been every time!

Hawkeye: “Listen—” Trapper: “Yeah?” Hawkeye: “While I’m gone…” Trapper: “Yeah yeah.” Hawkeye: “Promise me you’ll go out with other doctors.” What if I’ve run out of cope

“Come back soon. I hate to play solitaire alone.” Trapper, don’t…we’re delicate… Don’t make that face!! !

The tonal shift of arriving at the aid station and it’s gutted and the close sounds of battle are coming through the tattered walls and your head while soldiers sit everywhere red-drenched and silent: bellisimo

How are their radio codenames from Snow White

“Damn Stalin, Truman, whoever.” Wow love this coming from Klinger, the enlisted characters often aren’t the ones who are allowed the more specifically political lines

Trapper’s Worried Persons Sleepover, himself as the calming host, and god it’s so good for him too actually that Radar and Henry just followed their feet to Hawkeye and Margaret’s ties in camp. I’m still thinking about ‘Crisis’ and so many others how Trapper likes a responsibility, he likes something to be the watcher of, and these two tentatively putting him in the position of morale officer gives that to him, and gives him a reason to be able to say aloud reassuringly: “They’re okay.”

Captain Pierce pulling a blanket up around Klinger before finally crawling under his own

Captain Pierce and Major Houlihan easily relenting under the exhaustion, fear, and darkness to sleep hiding quietly against each other in their helmets. Hawkeye & Margaret’s Ragged Persons Sleepover.

I love the three of them just cheerily babbling the rest of the lyrics to that old Artillery March, they don’t know!
