Hawkeye is thinking about BJ the last time you see him in the entire show btw. If you even care.

hard to watch stuff that’s not mash. what do u mean there’s no hawkeye in this.

[princip1914]

The Interview (4x25), The Kids (4x8), Bug Out Part 1 (5x1)

[bracketsandunderscores]

an underappreciated genre of hawkeye is when an activity requires no hawkeye and he's kind of just lurking and pissing everyone off

BJ's confession in Period of Adjustment is so good. You finally get him breaking down over a letter from his wife trying to tell him something sweet, but he's absolutely shattered by it because it triggered the reality of him losing time with his baby girl. And then you got the envy over Radar and anyone who got to go home. But Trapper specifically - yes, he probably would have still got drafted - but BJ is actually on this show because of Trapper's absence. When someone leaves the show it's sad for us to watch, but then BJ just reminded us that the characters who stay are miserable

in regards to my last reblog.... the thing about bj's anger is that i feel like a lot of people take him lashing out in "rally round the flagg" as him being wrong about having a cooler head than hawkeye, because that's how he himself seems to take it, but i don't think that's true. hawkeye is very impatient, quick to anger, and quick to lash out (this is why we see him nearly beat the shit out of so many people !) but as a result there's less anger to release. he lets any pent up feelings out in short, aggressive bursts, and then goes "oh my god why did i do that" when the feeling has dissipated. i think he's a very angry person, for sure, and reasonably so, but he doesn't hold it in long because he just can't. he's emotional! he doesn't hold back when it comes to his feelings about the war (as sidney said)!

bj's anger sits. he's usually the mediator, the peacemaker, the one grabbing hawkeye by the collar to stop him from picking another fight. sure, he's angry and frustrated, but he doesn't do anything about it. he has a couple brief bursts of anger, but usually hawk breaks him out of it pretty quickly by cracking a joke. beyond that, he pushes it down because he knows reacting quickly, like hawkeye, is unproductive. but then instead of getting it out in (probably unhealthy but) functional ways like hawkeye, it simmers. bj is bitter about the things that make him angry, that's why he's so good at working himself up into a frenzy over little things. and when something does get to him (like hawkeye being attacked or radar's letter) EVERYTHING comes out. as sidney put it, the volcano explodes.

i don't think that means bj ISN'T less short-tempered than hawkeye, but it does make his anger more dangerous. rather than shoving someone, or punching frank but frank deserved it ok, you might end up with bj's hands around your throat. hawkeye does things he'll regret for an hour, maybe a day. bj is very likely to do something he'll regret for the rest of his life. yknow? hawkeye has never gotten hotheaded enough to KILL someone. bj has! do i think he would do it on purpose, no, but it's not an unfounded fear

idk. im sure this isnt a revolutionary take or anything i'm just pondering him 24/7 and wanted to throw in my 2 cents again

[alansalda]

a lot of people didn’t like mike! too tall! too handsome!

[alansalda]

he told bj he’d never be able to shake him.
