I haven’t posted on this blog in 6 years but felt I needed to come on here today. I feel devastated by this, as I am sure many of you are feeling this way too. Always knew this one would hurt, Rest in Peace, our Watcher ♥️

JOSHUA JACKSON as Peter Bishop FRINGE ✦ 2.21 | Northwest Passage

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.

In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly don’t get it. I call it the Pascal Method.

Taylor Swift does this

[godlessondheimite]

no she doesn’t

You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[smadsel]

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

[smadsel]

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

[manuciruja]

hey staff what the fuck

[villainessbian]

hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose

[shrodingers-catgirl]

HEY STAFF DONT YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING TOO ON-THE-NOSE

Hawkeye is such an important character to me because it shows that he IS avoidant, no matter how much he tries to seem grounded and normal to his friends and coworkers. He says he's afraid, he's terrified, that his hands are shaking, but then he'll laugh at everything he goes through like it means nothing. He hates everything to do with war, yet he still throws everything he keeps inside right back in terribly cracked jokes. That's why I love him so much.

He does it to keep himself going as much as to keep everyone else up on their feet. In an OR it may be crude to crack jokes about the horrors around them or the hilarity of something happening in the moment, but to Hawkeye it's a method of mental distraction. He gets people's minds off of the fact that soldiers are dying on the battlefield, that there are people they can't in fact save, that at any moment something terrible can happen to all of them, and instead places himself up as someone that can take in everyone's anger and keep them going. By doing that, he grows more hatred towards what the war brings. He grows more hatred towards himself, too.

To counteract that hatred, he jokes more. It's less of a way of venting and more of a way to try and trick himself into believing nothing bad is happening. Those jokes get shoved back in his face when he realises they do nothing, but instead of letting go of what he's feeling and leaning on others, he internalises it and transforms the pain into hatred expressed as laughter. That, or he drinks away his sorrow. Pours himself and his friends some gin and plays poker to distract both himself and those from what awaits them, heads to the officers club and laughs some more, goes to Rosie's, R&R, Tokyo, Seoul, ANYWHERE, just to find a drink and get his mind off of the young soldiers that die without a chance to grow up.

It's also evident that he purposefully eggs on meaningless conversations to avoid the imminent duty that awaits him. He'll go on entire monologues or add ridiculous statements to serious conversations just so he doesn't have to face whatever he knows must be done, whether that be resolving issues, doing something someone has asked, or thinking about himself and his own mental state. Everything he does is to dodge what he doesn't want to face and to help others carry on. He is terrified, he is afraid, but he says it to make people see the urgency of what they're doing. He doesn't want to believe his own cowardice, so he just drowns it away in anything he can.

you think that you're so alone in the world then you read literature from hundreds of years ago and you realize that other people have always felt this way
