spektor anon writing back: I have a lot of favorite eps that i dont watch often cus theyre too intense or i want to give them my full attention, so the ones i return to usually are to idly listen to while formatting reports or doing artwork that is essentially mindless (I watched a significant chunk of MASH while doing inking on a very detailed 24ish page comic) idk what logic motivates what eps i tend to rewatch. Usually I like to return to ones that I feel have a lot of good monologues, conversations, or pranks. good character moments. ensemble eps. tbh thats most of them tho? I suppose anything with Flagg or Sidney I will return to again and again cus they're so goddamn funny

"carry on, hawkeye" is rlly good but has a later season equivalent that I like to rewatch a lot for a lot of reasons, although I know I just said that I sometimes avoid more intense ones: Bless You Hawkeye. obviously a flagship moment for Alan Alda's acting and for Sidney's character on the show, and a precursor to a lot of the conflicts and themes of GFA but the big thing for me that makes it comforting is just seeing everyone take Hawk's issue very seriously, prioritizing it and trying to be very proactive about it. part of the draw of mash is that they pretty much are always falling apart and never seem to have the capacity to take care of eachother the way they should- they lack resources, theyre in a constant state of life-or-death-overwork, they are flawed people: I don't think its a mistake that that level of care is lacking often, but its rlly comforting to see everyone willing and able to pretty much set aside all other responsibilities and just exclusively focus on someones needs for once. Shout out in particular to that moment in Potter's office when everyone crowds around him and physically holds him up- it looks like a renaissance painting and it made me cry like a little bitch when i first saw it. I think everyone wants that a little bit- to be given support like that when they all apart. I cant watch it while doing other things but ill put it on if im sick or feeling rlly low cus its cathartic. Other big ones off the top of my head that I rewatch casually for me are: -the bus (an all time favorite have a lot of thoughts on it) -An eye for a tooth (bj, hawk, and margaret <3) -rally around the flagg (i love it when flagg thinks ppl are communists) -Are you now margaret (flagg again! pranks! I like the idea that margaret had friends whose politics were less odiously "hooray america" than hers- maybe they can all reconnect and re-radicalize her after the war. Also shout out to a reckoning with how serious sa stuff is re: margaret. I cried in anger seeing it, it was very satisfying that the narrative framing took it seriously for once. since then ive cooled off and can just enjoy ppl protecting margaret. shout out to klinger in particular hes a real one and i like the closet bit) -run for the money (rlly good ep for everyone but of course charles in particular. rlly nice to see him in that light) -i forget the name but the ep when trap boxes ("HAWKeYe THIS GUY PUNCHeS JeePS")

idk the big recurring thing seems to be Mulcahey and Margaret spotlight episodes and anything with sidney and flagg.

hi spektor anon!!! i'm sorry it took me so long to answer 😭

flagg and sidney episodes are also ones i return to pretty frequently, but i feel like i need to be in a certain mood to watch a flagg episode (idk why lol)

bless you hawkeye is SUCH a fascinating choice to me because it's one of the episodes i tend to avoid due to how intense it is. the way you describe it is so sweet though, it is a really kind episode in that regard, the way they're all concerned about hawkeye is very comforting (and he deserves it lol)

those are all really great episodes too! run for the money is especially fun to me, i love a mulcahy-centric episode (especially when it gives him a good conflict. not necessarily true for run for the money specifically but for others)

suP im back !!! hope y’all aren’t sick of me yet akldjfhld

( keith powers • twenty three • cismale ) looks like tevin “tj” bennett just moved into apartment 3C! i heard that he is here in los angeles because he needed to get away from his father but has been struggling – thankfully moreau has taken them in! rumour has it, they can be quite reticent and aggressive but at least they’re creative and charming, hey? i can already tell they’re going to be the phoenix of the building.

ok sO tj here is a new rendition on a faV muse of mine because i rlly wanted to bring bby keith here cause he foine as hell. i love this muse deaRLY and have been dreaming of developing him properly for like ... years lmao so i’m sorry if i ramble okSAsdlk

tw: mention of death and anxiety

a normal childhood could not have been further out of reach for tj. growing up, it was just him and his father — his mother sadly passed away after complications during his birth and despite reality promising it wasn’t his fault, tevin’s always had a deep-rooted guilt about it

his father never made it much easier on him either honestly. though calvin never outright blamed tevin for his beloved wife’s death, his attitude towards his son always seemed to hint towards it

tj doesn’t remember ever rlly seeing a smile on the man’s face — except in the few photos he found of his parents together, which only confirmed his beliefs that his father wasn’t the same man that he was before his wife’s passing

on top of that, nothing tj ever did seemed to be enough for the stone cold man, including pushing away his own passion for his fathers

art has always been tj’s first love. painting, drawing, writing, music, everything considered “art” tevin was sure to love. but his father never agreed with his love for watercolours and paintbrushes — instead he wanted his son to follow in his footsteps and go into the medical field

calvin had a practice in their hometown and was the most reliable family doctor in the vicinity

tevin always respected his father’s drive and passion for healing others but it was always painful for him to hear of all the people his father helped all while he neglected his own son

going into the medical field was the last thing that tevin wanted to do. the schooling, the pressure, everything that went along with the industry gave tevin shivers but as a young boy who wanted nothing more than the approval of his father, he saw no other option but to go into it

with no break or gap year after high school, tj went to the university of san fran for his bachelor of science and completed the program but lol the stress man

he developed anxiety and he jusT scraped by on most of his classes in his last year. the pressure of university alone was a lot but with his father’s constant watching over his shoulder and nagging about med school, it almost became too much for tevin

he graduated from usf at 22 with his ba in science but had no real motivation to apply to medical school. his fathER on the other hand was already eyeing the best ones and pressuring tj to do the same. it was a lot on his shoulders but tj fought through it for a while, trying to find his passion and motivation for med school but it just kept getting pushed to the side by something elSE

his fingers continued to yearn for the paintbrushes he’d packed away and ideas for sketches kept flashing across his the backs of his eyelids. his passion for art became a burning itch he couldn’t scratch and in the middle of summer, it became too much

an argument began between tj and his father after his father started pestering him about applying to med school and getting angry that he was “slacking.” tj, normally one to just bow down and hide away from confrontations with his father, exploded on his father and a fight ensued that ended with tj packing his bags and storming out of his father’s house

for several weeks, tj bounced between friends’ couches until the idea of a proper fresh start came to mind. he needed a new city, a new home, a new outlook. la came to mind almost immediately, remembering a friend of his in school talking about their time lived there, and tevin boarded the next bus to the city of angels

he found a job working at a local art gallery at the front desk and assisting with events, and picked up another job bartending to help save more money. he lived out of a cheap motel until he found moreau, its promise of a new start for struggling young adults catching tj’s eye in an online listing

SO now here he is. a starving artist working on gaining his muse back and finding his style. gallery worker by day and bartender by night. passionate, charming, and kind but incredibly reclusive and sheltered after a childhood lacking support and encouragement. he’s strong-willed and is willing to fight for what he wants but his fear of rejection and short temper often get in the way

as for connections?? i honestly want anything adjkh

i’d love some connections from sanfran if some ppl are from there / the area

ppl he met during his time in the motel here? patrons at the club he works at, maybe a one night stand or something, a cute friendship from the art gallery??

tj also dances and works out a lot to expel his restless energy so someone from that

a mUSE pls or eve n multiple skjd

total bros ofc

flirtationship / crush/ anything cute like that

asdjkh i mean, tev’s new here so we can literally just start rigHt from the first meeting ya KNOW
