'men may kiss other men' moodboard

it turns out its actually very easy to set up a custom search engine . so! here's the MASH transcript search engine i've always wished for!

it pulls from the transcripts on subslikescript and is hopefully a useful resource for finding out which episodes specific words/phrases/lines of dialogue are from . it helps makes it easier to locate scenes for edit making, see how often certain phrases appear in the show or just trying to remember what episode That One Thing happened in . i also recommend using quotation marks for better success when searching for phrases! like this:

inspired by @butch--dan's eternally useful spn search engine + thank you @theblob1958 for directing me to a decent transcript source :-)

Even if we’re not viewing BJ as closeted or in love with Hawkeye, basically not giving him a reason to want a divorce, I do think he would still end up divorced from Peggy when he returns home.

Time and time again when he’s fretting over what’s going on back home and especially when he’s freaking out over even the idea of Carl the handyman in “No Sweat” he’s essentially not trusting Peggy, he thinks she’s going to run off, etc. and I think that would come as a slap in the face for Peg who up-kept their house, raised their baby, got her Real Estate license, and another job, all while he was away. Him second guessing her at every turn just feels like the beginning of the end because even if his fears come from not being needed/wanted or from being replaced in his own life, they still are very inconsiderate to Peg. Also ironic considering he cheated on her once, and was tempted another time, so he’s very hypocritical and some of that may also stem from his own guilt over cheating so even if she DOES cheat on him it’s like well, BJ buddy…. so did you……

So if any of those feelings seeped into his letters or started to make themselves known when he got home, along with the added chafe of him being significantly changed by the war and out of place in civilian life, to me it just spells divorce for baseline personal reasons. They likely met young and were separated for two years, I don’t think it would be crazy for their relationship to fall apart due to them growing as individuals significantly over that time and with the added issues that come out of BJ even though I don’t doubt he loves Peg.

I think one of the hundred reasons “where there’s a will there’s a war” gets me so hard is that it’s the only episode where it’s just “yeah both the a plot and b plot are about Hawkeye and BJ going through it over each other but alone and unlike other episodes where they have a cathartic conversation or moment of connection, in this one they never really connect, they just Go Through It”....like in true “Hawkeye doesn’t hear BJ over the sound of the chopper” fashion Hawkeye has no idea BJ has gone through this deeply stressful emotional journey of thinking he’s not only lost him but killed him and BJ has no idea hawkeye is not only not mad at him but has spent what he thought might be the final moments of his life thinking of how to leave BJ something special enough to convey how he feels about him....they just don’t know

[thealogie]

and when Hawkeye gets back they still talk past each other.... BJ is like “remind me to give you a kiss in the morning” and Hawkeye is like “omg I’ve been so stupid...of course he’s thinking about his wife and child....and I’ve been trying to leave him something of MINE in my will but I have nothing to offer him, I’m gonna leave his daughter evidence that he’s the best guy in the world”.....meanwhile BJ, half asleep and crashing from an adrenaline rush, has just confessed to wanting to kiss him.....crazy
