Let's go my dudes

So, about Silver's jealousy of Daniel&Johnny

Once again, I'm not arguing with his jealousy of Kreese&Johnny's dynamic, I remember there was an amazing meta abt this that I can't find unfortunately atm but this post says a lot.

Also: all of this is inspired by TIG saying Silver wanted to be Daniel's friend (x)

Let's look at it from the start.

He was surprised to find out Daniel and Johnny teamed up. He knows "champ" Johnny, I think Kreese mentioned him terrorising him in TKK1, so I've always wondered, if he had a thought of apologising to Daniel right from the start, if he wondered "Hey, LaRusso forgave Johnny's guy who nearly killed him, it means he can forgive me too!

And that's why he looked pretty confident in this scene.

But nope!

Another proof for me that he was genuine in his (garbage, obv) apology. Why would he be this pissed off. If he weren't genuine, he would just walk away smiling viciously. But he didn't. He actually thought he had a chance.

Not only he forgave Johnny, who was also sh/tty to him in the past, but even teamed up with him! But he didn't even think to consider accepting Silver's apology.

I believe Daniel and Kreese are the only people in Terry Silver's world, the only worth of his full attention. And they both chose Johnny over him.

As @mauvecardigans beautifully phrased it, Terry wanted Kreese to focus on him. And he did. But Johnny was the main focus of Kreese's attention.

He broke their rule for Johnny!

He wanted Daniel to forgive him and be his friend. Daniel didn't even want to hear him out.

Guess who received it all instead.

The audacity.

I just really love this little moment. He's literally seething with hatred. He has his reasons.

Got tagged by @rockingroads95 earlier for a tag game and I was actually around my computer in a timely enough manner to remember to play along so here goes!

Picrew yourself and also share the last song you listened to

I honestly can't remember that Last last song I listened to, because it was something on the radio. But I opened up my spotify and I guess this was the song I was listening to last. So close enough.

No pressure tags! @durotoswrites @aashiyancha @mauvecardigans and anyone else who thinks this looks fun. feel free to say I tagged you

I got tagged by the lovely @artigas to do this incredibly fun tier list for ranking fanfic tropes. it was such a blast considering which tropes I love, reminiscing on some of my favorite fics, and throwing the tropes I cant stand into the garbage pile lmao

feel free to treat this as a very serious personality test. everything we need to know about each other can be determined from this list, I'm pretty sure. so on THAT note, I'm eagerly tagging:

@menocchio-final-final @youandthemountains @trillgutterbug @limbed @arthurwilde @mauvecardigans @thecellarsdoor @clockheartedcrocodile @runs-in-the-family @missroserose @vveissesfleisch @le-red-queen aaand @inkandcayenne

I wanna tag so many people tbh lmao I wanna see ALL your lists, so if you see this, consider yourself tagged and please tag me so I can see your ranking!!!

[phoomwhoosh]

Thank you for the tag @puella-peanut!

Favorite color: I usually lean towards blues, greens, and purples. I honestly couldn't pick a favorite shade.

Last song I listened to: I just discovered the song “Honey Whiskey” by Nothing but Thieves. I listened to some of their other songs too but that one sticks out.

Reading: The Titan’s Curse by Rick Riordan. I recently began reading the Percy Jackson series because I always intended to when I was a teen but never got around to it. No time like the present!

Craving: Dragon Age: The Veilguard is definitely high on my list of things that I am craving. I wanna play it so bad but I’ve gotta wait till October 31st and that's okay. I’m also craving popcorn and more time in the day for editing/writing.

Coffee or tea: Neither. I’m a “chocolate milk in the morning” kind of person. Coffee tastes like dirty water to me and tea just isn’t up my alley. I will say, though, that I once had bubblegum-flavored tea that actually tasted good.

movie shenanigans vs show shenanigans

MASH actually has more than a couple of shenanigans that were also in the movie/book, so which did it choose and in what ways were they (maybe) different:

1. they do record frank and margaret on the show and broadcast it across the camp. on the show, I think this is one of the worst things that hawkeye does to margaret, and gives quite a neat bit of characterisation -- to hawkeye in the moment, to margaret, alas, not until a few seasons later in hindsight. hawkeye of course has the great “I was too busy going too far” line, whereas margaret’s ordeals with misogyny are explored further along in the story, although unfortunately in the episode itself she’s kind of pushed aside in favour of frank’s outrage (although she does get to be angry initially). one thing I appreciate is that at least she’s already acknowledged to be a great nurse by this time, if still an antagonist, and so potentially losing her is a blow to the unit, while in the movie she’s steadily reduced to little more than foaming-at-the-mouth ditzy

2. they do frame an army guy with a sex worker, although it’s not as graphic on the show as in the movie, in which they actually strip an unconscious man and put him in bed with a naked woman and take pictures of them as he wakes up and struggles to get out of the bed. in the movie this is actually done as an act of trying to get some actual doctoring done, on a Korean baby no-less, while an army bureaucrat is trying to hinder them. a rare moment of something related to the army more directly + actually gives a sense that they are in Korea and can do something, although it’s also another example of the limited roles that women have in this story, particularly asian women (I believe they’re on leave in tokyo at this point? so she’s presumably japanese. am suddenly unsure if we ever see a korean woman??). in the show it’s because a man is trying to stop an American soldier and a Korean woman from getting married, and they only try to convince him that they have pictures of him with sex workers after getting him blackout drunk

3. they do steal a jeep! actually this is my favourite hijink in the film, because it’s showing casual disrespect for army protocol, and happens right at the beginning, setting up the tone and two of the characters. in the show the most famous jeep-theft is when BJ arrives in korea, and hawkeye’s at his peak devil-may-care fuck-this-place-and-fuck-the-army-(and-fuck-trapper-perhaps?) so it’s less about character set-up (although it says a teensy bit about the newcomer BJ that he’s so ready to follow hawkeye at this point), and more about hawkeye where he’s at in that episode

4. they do... I think????... get an outsider in to the unit (or try to??) in order to win a sports game? if I’m remembering correctly. but I cannot remember when or how or if they succeed? in the movie, this is everyone’s bestest guy oliver! he only arrives late in the story, and unfortunately I think the football match is boring, but I do love that he and one of the other black players get to interact about how to get a white racist player thrown off the pitch. they should’ve been the main characters

5. and of course they do trick someone into being naked, while members of the camp watch and cheer, once with bj and hawkeye, and once just with bj. the framing of it is, ahem, less... virulently misogynistic and overall nasty, because they’re all friends by this point. one also perhaps gets a sense that considering the show had a bunch of “nekked women in showers” spying jokes early on, this is fair turnaround from a meta point of view/that it fits into alan alda’s agenda of taking hawkeye down a peg. also, both bj and hawkeye have pulled some pretty big and sometimes not-so-nice pranks in the show (and bj in particular continues to/both of these episodes are about pranks), so the power dynamics are overall veeery different from what the movie is doing

6. they do trick someone into getting psychiatrically evaluated for fitness of duty (the ringbanger), but it’s done differently and it’s not frank burns. it’s got a lot less of a personal vendetta ring to it, and far more of a “this guy gets people killed, we’ll stop him somehow!” vibe. it’s a fucked up thing to do to a person, but it’s got more depth and stick-it-to-the-army feeling to it. in the movie, frank is the main face the army gets, and he’s a tool, but the way the goad him into a fight by graphically describing what margaret must be like in bed, uh... doesn’t speak well for them/they seem to hate him more because he’s annoying than because he’s an army guy who abuses his power. I wonder if frank in the show almost getting a section 8 is a callback to that?

7. they do drug an opponent during a fight/match that has a heavy bet related to it. in the movie this is done during the football match. in the show this is done during the boxing fight. probably the least deep in the show of the hijinks, as this is fully just to get nurse margie cutler to stay

so that makes possibly 7 hijinks from the movie that are also in the show, at least four of which occur in the first three seasons. there may be more, I’m just forgetting. the overall difference is in the framing  -- often either specifically anti-military, although there is definite sexist bullying of margaret baked into that with the first one, and/or could be done after they were already all friends. overall there is simply more context to the show’s version of these shenanigans, whether narrative or character-building, but that’s understandable considering the time the show has to build these things (I said in my review, I like the aimless shambling of the movie, although I got nothing out of the nastiness of it). I actually think some of the meaner tricks they pull on the show are directed at charles, but I don’t think there are any there inspired by the movie

the one I was most weirded out by in the film was “tricking someone into thinking he’s committing suicide (but actually just knocking him out), so that they can “cure” him thinking he’s gay (because he’s impotent, which he thinks must be because he’s gay), by a nurse -- whom they didn’t include in this plan until she was literally in the room with him and has consistently wanted to be faithful to her husband I think -- having sex with him while he’s unconscious” -- and it works, because of porn logic, I guess. am I right, that that’s what happened? unpacking that is... a whole thing

I love every comment you make I swear... you have great taste too I'm failing to think of an example rn but sometimes I'm like "beloved mutual mauvecardigans will appreciate this niche topic." Every time I do this I realize I end up saying something vague like "great vibes" but it's just hard to put words to it I guess... just a good feeling every time I see you in my notes and great conversation every time we interact. I also love your URL btw.
