Chapter 61 of the Harrowing: Necessary Information

Chapter 61 is here! In this one, Frodo feels a bit odd after his conversation with Maedhros, but he doesn't work out why until he finds Annatar.

I’ve been listening to the cast recording of By Jupiter a lot lately. It’s such a campy play with a fun dose of reverse sexism— strong women who have pathetic little husbands that stay home and bake.

It reminds me of an arc I’d want to have if I ever made comics abt my courier. I’d want her to go incognito in the Legion for a bit. Naturally, the first thing Six can think of to save Benny (to gain an ally in case she was caught) is convincing Caesar that him being her slave is worse punishment than death. Then they have some fun playing their ruthless/meek role by day and plotting their escape together by night.

Obv, Benny is pretty prideful, so I could see him getting a few ‘reprimands’ from other legionnaires over the course of the arc

Not romance. Not longing for possession. Something older than that.

The strange honor of realizing that another human being trusted you with something they couldn’t say directly.

A song. A photograph. A pressed flower. A silence. They don’t ask you to solve it. They simply place it in your hands.

Any than comes the quiet question: What is my responsibility now?

Not to fix it.

Not to carry it forever.

Simply…to receive it with care.

Sometimes they hand you a broken pen. Where is ink has already bled into their hands.

The letter was never written.

They can offer is the weight of it.

Love, grief, or whatever lives between them, was never fluent anyway.

Love knew where to keep walking after language stopped.

What do you mean a werewolf and a literal embodiment of the moons power falling in love, isn't the most poetic thing you've ever heard?!

so the basic conflict structure in mash is hawkeye and trapper defying military rules on the basis of actually trying to help people, and frank and margaret in turn trying to uphold military rules - but! these two are not doing it for the the same reasons.

frank is pro-military bc he buys into mccarthyism / american pro-war propaganda. but margaret does it bc she believes that order and structure are good. and also the war is very serious to her, and hawkeye and trapper not taking military rules seriously translates to her as not taking the war seriously.

but whenever there are people who need help it's very clear hawkeye and trapper do take it seriously, they just don't extend that courtesy to any other aspect of their stay. margaret wants to enforce the rules bc she believes they are in place to help to help people. that adhering to structure and discipline is what will help people most.

this is why when it comes down to it, margaret is actually more on hawkeye and trapper's side, all it really takes for her is a series of events that force her to realise and confront that the military does not actually have the good of the people as it's objective.

in conclusion: i can fix her

canon divergent au where tommy is severely injured during his shift immediately following the cruise ship rescue. buck tags along with hen and chimney to pass on his well wishes at the hospital and realizes he feels a connection to this guy. partially because bobby would be dead if not for him, but mostly because he has a wicked sense of humor (and really nice eyes).
