a quick thought but what if you knew johnny was a freak (affectionate) and responsible for stealing your underwear? what if instead of being somewhat normal about it, you decide to just indulge him? what if you've taken to accidentally on purpose leaving your worn underwear in the shared bathroom after you shower? what if you leave your underwear on top of the dirty clothes in your laundry basket that you just so happen to leave by the washing machine in the kitchen? what if you leave your bedroom door open just enough so that your underwear is visible from where you tugged them down to leave them on the floor?

those bf’s who unintentionally follow you around the room when they’re talking / listening to you, like if you move to the other end of the kitchen he’s following you — going to put something in the trash? he’s right behind you. bathroom break? he’s huffing when you kick him out before he’s waiting in the hallway till you’re done

“Led Zeppelin? Never heard of them,” Steve lies, like a liar. All of My Love

Eddie’s not usually a teacher to bitch about his job. Tiger Club

“Okay, Munson. What’s your fucking problem?” Hear Me Out, Keep Me Guessing

He’s never quite sure how it happens, seeming to always sneak up on him. Stuck

Eddie and Robin were just finishing filling the snack bowls and mixing drinks when they heard a knock at the door. Confessions

“Stevie, baby, please answer the door,” Eddie begs just as the front door bursts open to reveal Robin Buckley in all her righteous fury. A Desperate Fool

“Max, go get your stuff.” Steve’s voice comes out sterner than he means to, but he’s exhausted after a long day of running errands. Promises

Steve knows his house is quiet, even though all he can hear is the ringing in his ears and the pulse throbbing behind his eyes. Gentle Noise

Not all of these are on ao3 and a few are prompts. But I've included all of my long fics and a few of my favorites!

Patterns:

5/8 are Steve POV buuuut Stuck is technically dual POV

50% dialogue -> I definitely like to start in the middle of a scene, and I think dialogue is an easy way for me to do that

Confessions, ADF, and Promises all take place in a doorway which is weird. HMO,KMG isn't a door but Steve's still walking through the trees into the picnic area, so it's like an entryway of sorts. UPDATE: My WIP The Babysitter Chronicles is a 5+1 and EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER starts at a door and so does each chapter of ADF. I have a problem

I try to set the tone from the first sentence. So if it's an angst fic, it's an angsty first sentence. Or if there's going to be swearing, etc. I think Tiger Club is the only exception, and maybe Promises since it's hard to tell it's a h/nc fic from the first sentence.

This was fun! Can't wait to finish uploading my stuff to ao3

I’m nowhere near finished with reading all this shit bc I’m having too much fun but after what I’ve read so far I’m feeling pretty validated about my take that what sets (most of) the Mash gay jokes somewhat apart from most other types of gay jokes is the positive framing, at least in the first half of the show.

There’s no shortage of gay jokes in 20th century American comedy, or comedians who play up their lack of masculinity, but usually, historically, those are self-deprecating or denegrating jokes, a kind of masochistic humour where the object of fun is the comedian himself, or the part he’s playing. Often it’s relatable - hey audience member, you also have failed to reach peak masculinity, let’s commiserate together through comedy - but it is a failure, not admirable.

Or, in other contexts, it’s just plain absurd. It’s funny because we would never truly doubt this guy’s masculinity, and the contrast between the camp/feminine role temporarily performed and the “genuine” masculinity underpinning it is the source of humour.

But that’s not the case in Mash, at least with Hawkeye. Hawkeye’s lack of masculinity is genuine, framed positively, and even treated as a source of pride. Hawkeye plays his feminine attributes up to piss people off, or to differentiate himself from the type of man the military espouses, or just because it’s who he is. And the show plays those attributes up to set Hawkeye in opposition to the violence of the military, which is often pointedly aligned with masculinity.

From Freudian jokes about guns, to Margaret’s admiration of the masculinity of the generals and CIA agents who turn her on, to Frank using guns and violence and military hierarchies as compensation for his lack of masculinity, to Margaret’s own masculinity going hand in hand with her adherence to military protocol, the sense of equating the military and masculinity is all over the satirical seasons.

And most of the main characters, but especially Hawkeye, are framed in admirable opposition to that military masculinity by emphasizing their non-masculine traits. Radar’s awkward childishness, Henry’s indecisiveness and lack of leadership, Klinger’s crossdressing, and Hawkeye’s... most things. Emotional displays, empathy, disdain for sports/mechanics/violence/most masculine activities, physical weakness, ready willingness to admit to weakness, desire to talk about his feelings, and of course, the onslaught of gay/effeminate jokes.

(Trapper is the most masculine of the first three seasons’ protags, but even he’s pointedly depicted as out of shape, willing to play feminine roles, and his gay jokes have the same purpose as Hawkeye’s. If Hawkeye is unmasculine and proud, Trapper is masculine and secure, demonstrating a more comfortable masculinity that doesn’t need to rely on violence and aggression to prove itself.)

For the first half or so of the show, Hawkeye’s feminine traits and jokes are most of what makes him likeable. We are wholeheartedly laughing with him as he laughs at the military, not at him. This fades to an extent as the show goes on and Hawkeye is framed as pathetic rather than admirable more often, in line with more typical unmasculine comedy protagonists, but during the satirical years the show really nails this vibe.
