I just found your blog today can you please explain or point out a post that explains the MASH timeloop thing? I love the show but I've never heard anyone talk abt it that way before
oh yay hurray ive been waiting for an excuse to talk about this lmao sorry this is long
ok so basically maeve (my gf) and i started watching mash for the first time about a month ago and we started joking about it being like the characters were stuck in a time loop mostly because the same basic episode format is repeated over and over, because it's a sitcom from the 70s and the episodes arent meant to be watched en masse where you can start noticing all the little repetitions and plot holes and inconsistencies that naturally occur in longform tv
but then i started to pay attention to the dates being mentioned in the show - famously the korean war never technically ended, but american troops were involved in active on the ground fighting between 1950 and 1953, so the entire 11 seasons of mash have to be squeezed into that three year period. with 251 episodes occurring within 1,129 days, that gives every episode about 4.5 days of real time. so it works right? no time loop right? well wait a sec
for the first 5 seasons or so of mash they give very consistent dates about when things are happening. for example, bj arrives in korea in september of 1952, at the start of season 4. colonel potter arrives about a week after him, and talks about how he has 18 months left before his retirement. that gives us about 7 months for the shows final 7 seasons to take place in, meaning that by the episode 'point of view' in season 7 we should be around december of 1952. in that episode the pov character starts writing a letter home and in the corner he writes the date:
Tumblr media
september of 1951. ok, could be that this episode isn't meant to take place in the regular timeline of the season - maybe for some reason its just like, a random flashback episode. but bj, charles, and potter are all present, even though none of them got to korea until 1952. now i KNOW that this is not like, the True Hidden Secret Lore of MASH, this is the writers realizing they were running out of road and turning back the clock a bit to accommodate for how long the show was running on. but play in my time loop space with me please
more talking points:
consistent jokes about time zones and how difficult it is to call the states because "our today is their yesterday but if you call them now it might not reach them until our tomorrow and by that point our yesterday will be their today"
hawkeye's increasing mania over the seasons and his conviction that the war will never end, comparing the camp to dante's inferno multiple times. maeve once pointed out that the closer hawkeye comes to realizing that he's trapped in a time loop the closer he gets to being institutionalized - and what does the series finale cold open onto ? hawkeye in a mental institution. the only way out is to lose yourself etc. sidenote frank also escaped the time loop by going insane and getting institutionalized
in a war for all seasons bj potter and charles are all present at the 1951 new years party as well as the 1952 new years party
there are three christmas episodes, two of which bj is present for even though he should only have spent one christmas in korea
details of people's families and lives shift around - sometimes potter's got multiple grandchildren, sometimes he only has one, sometimes its a girl, sometimes its a boy, sometimes she's 5, sometimes he's 2
we're not the first people to talk about this either, here's a good video compilation posted a couple yrs ago of time loop moments
overall ive been using the time loop thesis to add another layer to my mash viewing experience. it increases the already present sense of constant dread, anger, frustration, and disgust with their situation that the characters feel, plus it feels like a very poignant take on the united states' constant warmongering and violent existence. it really never ends, it just goes on an on. the future's been canceled by the war department- we're just gonna replay the past.

Line cook Eddie on the brain. (Tw: mentions of getting cut)
Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4
I like to think of him working at a little diner. He's got his hair tied back and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth (you know the food is immaculate when the cook is smoking) He's frying up hash browns and making perfect omelets like it's nothing, all while he hums a song he's been working on.
He's such a flirt and I think he would enjoy being called "chef"
Maybe a customer doesn't like their food so you go back to ask him to remake it, he begrudgingly does and huffs out, "Just for you, sweetheart. Can't have the customers getting mad at my girl, can I?"
"No, chef."
He's taken aback by how much he enjoys it, but decides to put a pin in that for later.
He shoots you a wink and goes back to flipping the most perfect, fluffy pancakes you've ever seen.
One morning it's slow so you're helping with prep work and shredding potatoes. You accidentally knick your finger, it's barely a scratch but you hissed out of surprise when it happened. He immediately stops what he's doing, grabs the first aid kit, and starts tending to you.
"If you wanted my attention, you could have just asked. You didn't have to go chopping your finger off." He says, wrapping the bandage around your seemingly fine-looking finger.
"I wasn't-" he cuts you off with a laugh.
"Just messing with you, Sweets. I have bacon to attend to. Be careful with yourself, please." he gives your bandaged finger a quick peck before returning to his station.
I also think he'd crack jokes about the food, too. Like he's just finished deep frying onion rings and he sets them out, bowing and saying "Hors d'oeuvres for our gracious patrons"

i keep thinking about a post-royal spinoff where you play as akechi cleaning up the remnants of shido's conspiracy while the main gang is on their P5S roadtrip. except instead of changing their hearts, akechi just beats the shit out of their shadows and intimidates them into submission so hard that it bleeds into their conscious awareness

This guy is literally Spoking people vvv
Tumblr media
CLICK TO LEARN MORE…. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Tumblr media
SPOKE COLLAGE^
"who is that guy being annoying on purpose and spamming his soundboard???" um well. this guy! vvv
Tumblr media
He loves to be LOUD. He loves to ABUSE EXPLOITS... but Most Importantly........ HE LOVES TO BE SILLY!! he has a quota of mischief he has to fill. no matter what. even if he dies. . 👍💥
Tumblr media
Spoke is both a [youtuber] and a [twitch streamer]! and He does a bit amount of both! He is more free spirited when it comes to what content he makes and kinda goes with the flow but is always working to improve and experiment! (especially lately, not all of his videos are smp related!!)
Recently, he took a few months break from streaming recently but has been nearly daily since his return! (although he has gone back to his 2019-2020 skyblock hypixel days, so if you are looking for a lifesteal stream, probably not going to happen anytime soon as of writing this... just become a skyblock viewer ^_^)
Most of his Twitch streams are around 2.5 hours long and is typically more chill than his videos and he kindaa just does what he wants. which is grinding and performing his bits -> that scares and kills him! (the carefree bucket clutches......) and his YouTube videos being around 13 minutes long and longer ones being around 30 mins to even way over an hour! His older videos take a slower pace while his newer ones are far more snappy and fast pace, but they both have an equal amount of charm to them and are enjoyable to watch!
Spoke already has a ["Best of" Playlist] which I overall agree with! all the videos here are wonderful places to start watching him but i suggest watching the video where he traps people using maps on Lifesteal SMP. I feel it gives a good show of both his personality and his Lifesteal content in general without overwhelming you like his 1,000 withers on the Lifesteal SMP video, WHICH is absolutely a must watch for any Lifesteal viewer as it gives a very dramatic and well-rounded POV to the end of Season 2 and is arguably his best video still to date. Oh, and here is his [entire lifesteal playlist]
ACTUALLY lets talk about Spoke on Lifesteal SMP.. while he acts silly he abuses nearly any exploit he can (s3 cleansing harming arrows, putting on a netherite chestplate for no real reason in s3, helping dupe items in s4) and breaks nearly ANY rule!! that exists in order to fill his need for mischief and destruction (greifing spawn and breaking rules to hell and back. nearly every season. especially s2)
. did i mention destruction. this guy is known for causing the end of the server. for nearly every season. Spawning 1000 withers kinda does a lot to a server... so does destroying every elytra in the end in order to cut the supply of craftable hearts while killing everyone and destroying hearts . to ban everyone of the server.. Did i also mention this guy is a cheat and a lair. anytime he thinks he can get away with it and it benefits him. WHILE, saying this I must mention. he does not do this for Power. he does it for his Ideals. what he believes should happen and what he believes is "right" and how things exist. that the server ending and conflict keeps it alive in the end.
and while he is loyal to his allies. he is more loyal to his own motivations and what is happening in the moment. he is a known wild card and no one really trusts him because of this. but hes always an important asset to any team as both good pvper and his . enthusiastic! willingness to abuse exploits and trick others. Don’t worry too much about this. Most of the time he is there to just hang out :)
however. THE BIT COMES FRIST! NO MATTERWHAT

Not hating any yandere blogs that write yandere/obsessive mw2 characters. But I simply cannot stand any mw2 men (ex. König, Alejandro, Soap, etc.) Being super violent towards MC or making you uncomfortable.
While I do believe most of them would be overbearing and sometimes pushing limits, I don't believe Ghost or Price (or any character) would forcibly have sex with you or degrade you to the point you cry.
Sure, I can see Ghost being super overprotective, standing behind you like a guard dog or somehow and somewhere always touching you as a way to help him stay grounded.
But, I don't believe he'd force you to have sex with him, blackmail you, or do anything that would cause you harm/stress/or being scared of him.
I 100% agree that he'd want someone he felt safe with, someone he can agree to and help him forget his past and current work; simply enjoying the rare quietness he has with you.
Again, I'm not hating. It's just a slight pet peeve of mine; simply my opinion on the yandere mw2 fandom.

Thinking about it, this is probably a topic talked about before... But I feel like talking about it anyway!
Ever notice the similar designs between characters and just wonder what types of interactions there would be?
Here's two! One of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Death himself from the Darksiders series! And Jackie Estacado, bearer of the titular Darkness from The Darkness!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Just kinda imagine some crazy stuff going down if these were in the same vicinity. Also probably a huge knock, down drag out fight. And maybe a "common enemy" appears for both to take down after they put aside their differences.
Speaking of the similar designs, pretty sure the creators of each character both worked at Image Comics around the same time. So some talking about designs and sharing ideas probably made this kind of thing happen. Or it's just one big coincidence, I don't really know, I've never met the creator/creators of either.

SO. I'm thinking of doing the Ricci x Ramsey thing but I need some help (it's a late-at-night thing rn and I've never done fics before and I think my writing is still too cringe but if I feel like it I might actually commit to the bit)
For this fic I'm gonna completely ignore OH 2 & 3 and I want Ethan to move to NY (It's way easier to move a single doctor than a whole firm) and also I know Absolutely Nothing about states, its laws, or medicine, so those will either be completely left out or purely bullshitted. (not sorry tbh)
(And it will be mostly fluff, unless I enjoy the conflict between their self deprecating perfectionist workaholic asses too much)
The real help I need is, how tf do these two meet??? I did have an idea but it's too complicated for a self indulgent queer fic

About Me
You've got the basic rundown from my sidebar but what else could there be? So much more obviously lol. This is really long so read at your own risk. I’m only posting this to pin it :P
Anyways I'm a queer transmasculine guy who's gender is best describe as la croix boy, sparkling guy, or guy-adjacent. I present masculinely in public as well as obviously queer. I’m also mlm/nblm meaning I’m gay and I like dudes.
I am not subtle about being queer at all in any shape or form, nor do I censor or tag it or any other slurs. Being queer is an essential part of my identity, one you can not remove without erasing a part of me. The intersection between my gender and sexuality is complex and I don’t really care for microlabels for myself.
Besides that I have hobbies! Too many of them! I crochet just about anything I’ve done 10in amogus’s, shawls (I love making shawls even though they’re not my style), and useful things like pot holders and wash cloths! I’m also getting into cross stitch. I draw as well as keep bugs. I forget to tag things alot but I usually tag “bugs” “spider” “arachnid” etc. I’m awkward so I don’t post much myself but I reblog stuff about transmascs, the queer community, bugs, and whatever I find funny. This is my old blog from like 2014-2018 that I’m reusing out of laziness so if you’re trying to dig up dirt on me please check post dates lmfao. I am much different now than I was when I was 14-18.
Some of my views: - I (and bigots) don’t give a fuck about slur discourse in respect to the queer community. I’m not gonna censor them, especially if it’s in regards to a persons identity. For example I’m not gonna say “The D*ke March” or the “D-slur March” because I respect them and their right to reclaim and identify themselves. If you ask me to tag tranny, faggot, dyke, etc. you’re better off blocking me/those words and moving on. If you ask me to tag queer, you’re the one catching a block.
- Trans people can not oppress each other on the basis of being trans, but they can hurt eachother personally. A transmasc can perpetuate transmisogyny but trans guys do not oppress trans women/vice versa. - Anti-transmasculinity exists. Actually I’ll go a step further, misandry does exist and mainly manifests against oppressed groups though it is also spread by radfem groups. - Radfems catch a block, I don’t care if you are “trans friendly”, radical feminism is inherently transphobic. Men and Masculinity are not inherently evil, disgusting, or violent and can exist in non-toxic ways. Alongside that, femininity can be toxic and weaponized, such as radical feminism and false rape accusations.
- I don’t want to get into shipping discourse but I lean more pro-ship. I believe censorship demonstrably and inevitably leads to the silencing of minority communities. Tumblr is ironically a good example of this seeing as the porn ban also lead to trans women being labelled “nsfw” for simply existing.

Okay, but as an actual apology for that last drawing, here's a Raph doodle with one of his favourites from his teddy bear collection. Had to make it quick though, so ignore the mistakes here and there.

A Compilation of My Autistic Headcanons
(Genshin Edition: Part One)
Il Dottore
50/50 on whether he's masking or not. He doesn't really have a reason to, but it's not really something he ever unlearned to do around others.
Low empathy
Kinda guy to hyperfixate on something so intensely he neglects everything else going on
Semi-verbal
Infodumps a lot. Pretty much every genuine convo he has with someone is just a huge infodump
Easily overstimulated by pretty much everything, especially social interactions
Very light sensitive
Gets aggravated when overstimulated
More shutdowns than meltdowns
One of the only reasons he tolerates Scaramouche hanging around is because it gives him more opportunities to infodump
Fairly monotone, and when he isn't he typically just comes off as irritated
Hates sarcasm with a passion but is incredibly sarcastic
Hates eye-contact, doesn't look at people when theyre talking
Hates being touched with a passion
Doesn't have a ton of visible stims
Fidgets with whatevers in his hand whenever he can
Messes with his hair a lot to stim (ex: running his hands through it, pulling at it, etc.)
Oral fixation, has shredded a multitude of pens with his teeth
Layers are a life saver frfr, weight is very grounding
Definitely took things apart as a kid so he could figure out how to put them back together
Major sweet tooth
Definitely had a hyperfixation on calligraphy at some point in time
Goes out of his way to avoid spending time around the others. They usually end up bothering him in his spare time anyways
Talks about marine life with Tartaglia, though he doesn't really have any strong interest in it
Very strong in his opinions
Doesn't stick to a specific routine, but gets annoyed when things change throughout the day

My Brief First-Listen Review of WR2
This is my brief first-listen review of Gallifrey War Room 2 and will be about the entire box set as a whole, instead of each individual story (that will come later, once I emotionally recover from the first listen, to go back and analyze each story). I’ll try to make this spoiler-free for the most part (or as spoiler-free as I can make it without going into specific details), and is mostly made up of my thoughts and feelings about the audios.
Overall Thoughts: I feel this is a solid, cohesive set of audios with a strong theme woven throughout the four episodes. It is very action-oriented and (imho) much darker than previous audios in the Gallifrey series. War Room 2 takes the characters introduced in WR1 and really fleshes them out, adding minor details like House names and Chapter affiliations. The political and military machinations in this box set are insane and really hone in on the chaos that war can bring and the lengths some will take to seize and keep power. Overall, it’s a wild ride…be prepared for the emotional whiplash that comes with many Big Finish stories.

Morgana in my Negaduck's universe was a scary person for even him to deal with. She looked like the sweet and gentle sort, but her personality was twisted, violent, and cruel. He did love her, though. In his universe, she is dead. There are differences in his universe that are direct parallels from the Default DW universe, too. Like he didn't meet Nega!Gosalyn until after Nega!Morgana died. In fact, it's part of why he became her guardian in the first place.

This isn't fully fleshed out, but something I feel needs saying anyway.
Online discourse around privilege and oppression puts too much emphasis on internal identity and too little on how you exist in the outside world. Thinking mainly of LGBT discourse but I'm sure it applies to other areas too.
Example: being trans is tough. That's undebatable. And every trans person has to deal with transphobia. But there's a big difference between, say, a trans woman who came out really young, was visibly GNC before then and is now perceived as just any other woman, compared to one who was closeted for decades, perceived as a heterosexual man with all the benefits thereof, and then comes out and starts living as a woman. It's an extremely different set of experiences. Much like how being born male and later coming out as a trans woman will always be different from being born female.
This isn't an argument about who has it worse or better. It's an acknowledgment of different positions people occupy based on their past and present which IMO is sorely lacking in so many conversations.
And this isn't trans specific either. Sticking to sexuality, I've never been properly perceived as heterosexual or been in a hetero relationship, and have been in a same sex marriage for 4 years and counting. Compare and contrast with a closeted gay/bi man who's been married to a woman for years or decades. Once again, two very different sets of experiences but if the sole focus was on 'identity' we'd be treated as one and the same.
And I think a big reason this problem exists is because so much social media discourages or outright makes impossible any sense of nuance or meaningful conversation.
