[jecroisatoi]

i was eating wild blueberry pancakes today and became possessed by thoughts about hawkeye.... something something taking his friends home to maine and making them pancakes with the wild blueberries they pick from the edge of the forest and maple syrup his dad spends a full week in spring tapping and boiling... everyone imagine francis mulcahy eating some lovely fresh-off-the-skillet blueberry pancakes drenched in syrup, because after everything he's been through, he likes to have some sweetness in his life. imagine little erin sitting on her daddy's lap with sticky, blue-tinted fingers from helping pick the berries that morning, taking little bites with her fingers while hawk puts a dollop of cream on her nose.

Hi, where do you buy your crocheting yarn? We looked at shops in Prague but everything is so EXPENSIVE

😂 I'm afraid it's kind of the same everywhere, sorry, bud. But if it's any help at all, I usually buy my yarn online from one of these sites:

prohackovani.cz

prizealize.cz

mamincinohackovani.cz

pletanky.cz

stoklasa.cz

Or you can type in "příze" and "háčkování" (yarn and crochet) to get more results, I just personally like these shops. :) Stoklasa also has many physical branches across Czechia, definitely some in Prague, so you can shop in person. Happy hunting! 🧶

Forever torn between Hawkeye becomes the doctor of Crabapple Cove with his dad, finds healing and love in his community that he supports and supports him in turn OR Hawkeye tries the small town doctor thing but gets bored and feels unfufilled and is lured to Boston by Charles who absolutely is only after him for his surgical skills and not his friendship Pierce don't be ridiculous and Margaret is also here because she's a fine head nurse and not because she's Charles best friend or anything stop talking nonsense. Also the Chief of Surgeon from Boston General who Charles was already in an intense rivalry with keeps trying to steal Hawkeye away (they all support and love each other). OR lured to California where he might as well start hypenating his name as Hunnicutt-Pierce with how quickly he has been adopted into the Hunnicutt family. His name is already on the sign of BJ's practice. He has been in California for one hour.

maybe it’s because i watch ‘O.R.’ more than i watch ‘where there’s a will, there’s a war’ but it always makes me a lil sad the way people react to bj recognizing Hawkeye’s stitches as this, like, super touching, never been done before moment while forgetting that trap also easily recognized his stitches early on.

i get that it’s not, like, a climactic scene (as in trapper didn’t spend the entire episode thinking hawkeye was dead), so the recognition isn’t quite as satisfying, but TO ME it’s super cute. this, like, casual, under the radar depiction of trapper knowing hawkeye and his hands and his work but quietly.

anyway.

I suddenly thought about:

Hawkeye going to an aid station or going to the front as Santa and Trapper and his quiet but heartfelt looks.

And how BJ would be biting someone or wrestling Hawkeye to the ground if the same situation was taking place. There would be an argument about it at minimum.

I think it's a bit of Trapper is worried, but he is also less inclined to catastrophize when things are out of his control. He's willing to believe in Hawkeye's skill and luck. It makes him the man for the job when you need a hand disarming a bomb.

Whereas a gutter needing cleaning sends BJ into a spiral (which goes hand in hand with his thing about being needed). He takes on all the stress of a perceived danger to the people important to him, and usually if he has no control over it, somehow makes it his fault that it's happening at all. (He had to get a haircut so now Hawkeye might die, he never mentioned the ladder is broken so now either Peg will break her neck or the next door neighbor will sue him.)

(Both reactions are good and interesting. For all they're compared they're such very different characters.)

[freelance-abortionist]

there are so many differences between bj and trapper, but the one that i’m really fixated on right now is that while trapper stayed watchful of hawkeye when he was up to his usual shenanigans, bj was participating in said shenanigans, sometimes even taking them further than hawk would have if alone.

where bj is volatile, trapper is pragmatic.

so of course trap is gonna recognize hawkeye’s stitches; he sees and appreciates them every day.

and of course bj is gonna recognize them; he spent however many hours searching—begging—for any sign that hawkeye was alive. as soon as he finds one, he’s gonna latch on and shout about it.

they’re so diametrically opposed, and we see that through the choices they make and the way they show their love.

(i absolutely agree though i bet stitches are a lot like signatures in the surgical world)

Hawkeye's end bit was kept for Yankee Doodle Doctor. What if B.J. saw it during his training?

B.J.: sullenly watching the propaganda being forced down his throat suddenly seeing the most beautiful man he's ever seen and the only one in the entire movie that makes any sense.

B.J. later meeting Hawkeye: it's blorbo from my war propaganda.
