There’s this look Hawkeye gets on his face sometimes that I absolutely love, because its totally bone-chilling.
It’s not that it’s not the expression of the fired-up outbursts, the passionate rebellions, or the manic spiralings - it’s more that it’s kind of the split-second moment between those film frames.
It’s the moment when all the eyes of all the different masks he wears, and personas and facades he channels himself through, line up completely, and you can see directly down the barrel into the cold fury burning at his core.
I love and hate how much more of it we see as the show progresses.
#mash#hawkeye pierce#In my head I call it the dead clown or the angry jester or the stone cold trickster#Its the moments that make it so harrowingly clear just how deadly serious it all is for him#Its not even that the farce and play that he enacts is just false cover for it#Its more that its this stark reminder that this fury and defiance is WHERE that carousing and rebellion is growing from#Its this moment where the Fool sharpens into the Sniper#mash art#mash fanart#this moment is in mad dogs and servicemen in s3
