#excuse me GONCHAROV

[blessedwithpolls]

I love going on tumblr and being slapped in the face with some obscure meme that appears out of nowhere overnight, and then you don’t really learn what it means or where it comes from, and maybe you don’t fully understand it, but you just kinda have to play along

i was so sad when they didn’t include this scene from the novel into the movie so i took matters into my own hands. they have easily my favorite character dynamic in goncharov (1973), 10/10, the qpr ever

[tousakamis]

seeing goncharov here on tumblr and now zepotha on tiktok makes me think how so many people yearn for an excuse for collaborative oc projects without realising that they do so and that the internet would be very harmonious if more people just worked together on crafting silly stories for everyone's entertainment and joy. i just hope everyone remembers that part of the bit is that it's Not A Real Movie and to be mindful 👍

I saw the 🧸 ask where Jason had to add cat ears to his red hood helmet bc he lost a bet, and PLEASE tell me you imagined him having to actually patrol that night like that too. Bc it’s so perfect.

Every vigilante that sees him is howling so goddamn loud that being stealthy that night is shot through. The mental image of him is enough to have em giggling, but esp Dick, Tim, and Steph are ROLLING on the ground and everything (those assholes). Jason can’t even defend himself bc at the end of the day he’s whipped enough to be walking around like this, the bet isn’t a good enough excuse now. Dick takes so many pictures. Hood goes viral for the next week and a half. Gothamites make fucking babygirl edits of cat hood and this shit haunts Jason for the rest of his life. Months and months later someone gives him one of those catnip treats for Christmas and nobody fesses up to it, but since Dick wakes up with a brand new hair color and cut (the drunk but not actually drunk Todd signature), safe to say Jaylad figured it out by the time the day ended 😭

(May I be🧋? This blog is fun and I wanna interact w u more 👉🏾👈🏾)

AHHAHAHAHAH I LOVE THIS. also ofc!!

I did envision him wearing the cat ears to patrol lol. There are several edited photos of the Red Hood in a maid outfit that all sprung from this event. The edits go viral and they further convince everyone outside of Gotham that the bats are not real. An ex-robin murderous crime lord anti-hero now turned vigilante that wore cat ears?? Yeah no way that’s real, Gotham is just Goncharov-ing up a fever dream. Even people who live in Gotham are like …Scarecrow must have done a mass attack that we just missed?? More plausible than the guy who tried to kill Batman and cleaned the streets in blood just randomly wearing cat ears one day. Also he started trying to murder the bats again with the cat ears on? No way.

I made a uquiz for what kind of magic would come naturally to you in the aRoIiS universe!

I remember taking a LOT of these back in the day, so I thought I'd make one of my own, now that it's having it's renaissance thanks to @icerosesummerbracket

Here's the link~

[OOC: okay, so basically what I was trying to do here was introduce a basic concept for a magic system via uquiz. My idea was that similar to the four phlegm based temperaments, in this universe everyone could have element based temperaments. Anyone can practice any type of magic, but based on your temperament(s), some come more naturally, and some are so hard, they're simply not worth the effort. I also had the revolutionary idea, that doing magic (brace yourselves) could actually be Quite Hard and Exhausting, so the closer the nature of the magic is to your innate temperament, the easier time you'll have with it. If anyone has any other ideas for this, PLEASE tell me. The names for the different subtypes of magic could also use some work. My spelling probably sucks, so excuse that please. Aaaand the share image I used was made by @ceaselessbeholder. Hope you have fun with the quiz!]

So I've lived in Arizona almost my entire life, and when I recently started playing Pokemon Scarlet and I ran across Bramblin I really wanted to add it to my team. I hadn't seen this pokemon before running into myself, so I had no idea that there was a tumbleweed pokemon, but I loved it immediately. But, my party already had both a grass type and a ghost type, so I didn't add Bramblin.

Then, I'm going along, trying to just get from one place to another quickly, avoiding encounters entirely. But I fail to see a Bramblin in my path and start a battle. I run, but there's another Bramblin right where I end up after running from the first battle. I'm about to run again when I see it. Sparkles.

I ran into a full odds shiny Bramblin while trying not to get into a fight at all. And I have a policy that if I happen to find a shiny, it goes into my party immediately, regardless of all else.

It's like the universe knew I wanted Bramblin and it gave me an excuse to use one.

Also, I don't normally nickname my pokemon, but I nickname shinies. So this pokemon tumbles. It's a tumbler. And it's a ghost, which some people say don't really exist. So I named her Katya, after the Goncharov character.

Because tumblr's attention span is about 1-2 weeks per meme at most, I'm excited to see what will dethrone the vanilla extract fiasco. In fact, let's throw out some ideas!

[cambrian-creature]

Hello, and welcome to M*A*S*H enjoyers anonymous

Now tell us, why are you here?

(basically just a free space to talk/infodump, be free my sweet cheese)

Oooooh boy.

MASH is a show about war, but also mostly it's about people and how people react under stress. Something to note is that it's about the Korean War, but it's actually about the Vietnam War.

It's got its issues, definitely. It's not particularly respectful to Korean people despite being set in Korea. But it was the 70s so like. Idk, can't expect much. There's a lot to unpack in the way of imperialism. The show is very anti-war, but mostly focused on the Americans, which is pretty damn reductive if you ask me. There is also the misogyny and if one more person calls Major Margaret Houllihan "hot lips" I am going to throw hands. I'm not making excuses for any of this, but it's an old ass show and you can't get too hung up on it. ANYWAY, you asked about the good stuff.

The main character, Hawkeye, is this. Unhinged, sleep deprived, alcoholic surgeon who's just. Unreasonably good at his job. Despite the Horrors of War, he's still one of the kindest, most lovable people, and he only put Frank in a shipping crate one time, so it's fine. And the blood he stole was for a good cause. As was the money he stole and the one time he gaslit a guy into thinking he'd lost his mind. All for a good cause. He's so cool, he's a menace, he's a slut, he's deeply psychologically damaged, he's a little silly, he invented the principle behind Goncharov, he's even bisexual.

Hawkeye's best friend and roommate is Trapper John, fellow manwhore and prankster extraordinaire. He always makes me a little sad cause I think he's Hawkeye's best friend and Hawkeye isn't his best friend? To him, it's all temporary, and he'll get out of Korea and go back to his wife and kids and probably try to not think about any of it ever again, but Hawk's such a ride or die friend, and he depends so much on not being alone and. Fuck, man. He's just like me for real. No shit, I realized this a couple years ago, and it sent me into this huge spiral of wondering if my friends love me as much as I love them and it lasted like. Years. And then I did that thing people do where they tell other people about their feelings? Which was weird. But it was also cool and now I do not worry about that as much anymore. A little bit, because the fears never cease, but y'know. It's cool. Apparently I am also sad and lonely because I am FULLY spilling my guts here lmao. Don't read that. Fuck whatever BJ has going on, THIS is the Trapper Complex.

Also Trapper leaves like three seasons in and is replaced by Blow Job Hunnicut, who keeps saying shit like "man, I bet you sure had fun with Trapper, huh" and "boy this must be just like the good ol days with Trapper" like we get it, you're jealous. He's also deeply psychologically damaged. I don't like him so much, but I also haven't seen a lot of him yet so I guess we'll see.

Okay, now MARGARET. She's amazing. She's cool and fascinating and ALSO deeply psychologically damaged! She's a strong woman in the 50s, she's so angry all the time, she just wants some goddamn respect and also someone to hang out with her to do manicures. She has this fascinating mix of wanting to be feminine and pretty but also needing to be masculine and angry to get respect. She's a hardass, she's obsessed with the rules, she's so mad at everything all the time because she has so little control over her situation, she's just like my mother and I love her so much. She could do any man's job in that camp so much better. I like to think after the war she goes back to medical school and becomes a doctor and gets some GODDAMN RESPECT.

Also she's dating (she dumps him don't worry) this absolute schlub Frank who is. A garbage human being. He's so pathetic and funny but also like genuinely terrible and canonically homophobic. If he were in modern times he would vote for Trump. He's Mr. Patriot. He's the Yankee Doodle Doctor. He's a shit doctor. He's so funny to watch cause everyone around him is so funny and witty and good at snappy comebacks and he says shit like "ohhhh you- you- guys!! >:(" Like yeah Frank. Get em. Don't hold back. He's a real "why I oughta-" kinda guy. Apparently the actor got so much hate mail he quit the show which is honestly so mean and tragic because Frank is such a fun character. I want to watch him fail again and again and again and then cause more problems. He could call me a slur in a Walmart parking lot and I'd just laugh at him and ask him if his wife knows about his girlfriend. She doesn't.

When Frank left, he got replaced by this other guy and I have no idea what his deal is. My apologies to Charles Emerson Winchester III. People like him I guess. He seems boring next to Frank tbh.

Now lemme tell ya about Klinger. Actually lemme show you.

He's beautiful. Gorgeous. Show stopping. He started out as a bit character and the joke was that he was trying to get a section 8 discharge (sent home on the grounds of being mentally unfit to serve), but everyone loved him so much that he became a recurring character and the outfits kept getting better and it went from "haha man in a dress" to "he's a genuinely deep character and this is his coping mechanism and he is so afraid of this war. Also he's the hottest guy around and everyone knows it. Even the priest wants him carnally." Genuinely the best fucking guy. In the early seasons, the laugh track goes off every time he enters a room and it makes me so mad. Take his whimsical ass seriously.

Also I mentioned there's a priest. I'm not sure why they have a priest, but I think that was just a thing in the 50s. He's got too many names. You can find him currently in the Catholic Characters Tournament and it's funny cause the person who runs that keeps getting his names out of order. It's John Patrick Francis Mulcahy, cause they gave him one name in the movie and then changed it in the show like twice at least so. Four names. Anyway, he's the only priest I trust. He literally just wants to help people and he has no way of knowing that he's doing any real good so he wants recognition for his efforts but that goes against what he's meant to be doing, he's meant to be completely selfless, but he wants to know that he's at least doing something, otherwise what's the point. What's the point of everything he's worked for. What's the point of devoting his life to this. To these people and to his god and to being a good person. Because if he thinks of himself, if he wants anything for himself, does that not mean he's selfish? And that's bad, he can't be selfish, but he is because everyone is, that's just human nature to want to know the results of your work. Also he's convinced he's the second coming of Christ or some shit. I can't fully explain this one, but he really does think he's like. God's special little boy. Which is kinda fair, cause he gives fucking EVERYTHING to these people, to the doctors, to the soldiers, even to the enemy, because he just wants people to be okay. He wants people to stop fighting and to heal and to love one another. And he also wants someone to tell him he's doing a good job and that he's making a difference and he wouldn't believe them but it would be something. Also he wants to punch people sometimes. All the time. He could kick anyone's ass in single combat. I love him.

Am I missing anything.

RADAR!!!!! They put a child in a warzone but luckily he is hyper-competent and literally psychic. He makes me sad because he is 19 years old and he has a teddy bear and he is short and angry and eats a lot because he's a growing boy and everyone makes fun of him for having teenager behavior when he is!!!! A teenager!!!! He graduated highschool yesterday!!!!! He's the same age as me and he's in a warzone!!!!!! Get him out of there!!!!! Put him in college and let him work a boring ass fast food job like a normal teenager!!!!! And stop laughing at him for having a teddy bear!!!!!!! He's not even that short, it's just that all the guys in this show are at least 6 feet tall. Anyway, he basically runs the camp because Henry is fucking incompetent (affectionate) so yeah. This child is their commanding officer and the only one anyone respects.

Their actual commanding officer is Henry Blake. He just wants to go home and see his wife and kids again and go fishing and chill the fuck out. He's a good surgeon but genuinely a pathetic army man. But also I love him so much cause listen. He could just fuck off. We see another guy in his same rank and position who just hangs out in Tokyo the whole time making money off this shit. So despite being very afraid all the time, Henry sticks around in a shitty camp 3 miles from the front to patch up kids full of lead. He stays not out of any duty to the army, but a duty to his patients and his people, because he's a good person and a good doctor and genuinely one of the bravest people around. He could've been a coward and hid, but he stayed and he helped people and even though he knew the risks, it just never occurred to him that he could abandon his people to do it all without him. He stayed and he died and he never saw his wife and kids again and he never met his newborn son. He tells his oldest son over the phone to be good while he's gone, to stay strong and keep everything running until he comes back, and he never comes back. I am genuinely crying. Fuck. I hope he's catching the best fish at the big lake in the sky.

Anyway. I'm gonna stop before this gets out of hand. More than it has.

The reason you have the Goncharov poster is to have an excuse to infodump about Goncharov. Seems pretty simple to me.

Have an electrician over today & he comes through from the kitchen like 'i was looking at that poster on your wall wondering how I hadn't heard of the movie so I googled it. What is the point. Is it just there to catch people out.' And I'm like, well,

[tinyufoboss]

Okay, you guys were right about Goncharov. It slaps.

[junkyard-jorts]

thinking about names in goncharov. names not as something that makes someone know you but rather the opposite. something to hide behind. there's a reason goncharov is most himself when he's known as "lo straniero." there's a reason why during the boat scene sofia calls katya "kateryna"--something between her full name and her nickname. she's trying to recognize her but she just can't. there's too much in the way

[shadykit]

Excuse me where is Goncharov

[wiillatree]

ok this whole renaissance of Goncharov (1973) thing reminded me that my school actually has a prop from the movie in our media comm building:

we have so many props (our building is literally legally a museum) but this one is always overlooked by ppl and im glad its finally getting the attention it deserves

[alouettesque]
