OKAY SO I figured that since I still have to wait to pick up season 4 of MASH from the library, I’d make up a little thing about my thoughts so far! Paging @unmaskedcardinal @moinsbienquekaworu and @steine-druff !! And this is a little long so my apologies, I just have so many thoughts ahh this show is so good!!!

(also Ziggy pls note if you haven’t gotten through season 3 yet: this will contain spoilers!)

First I’d just like to give an update on my ships. I’m still heavily invested in Hawkeye/Radar, no surprise there, and honestly at this point I think I’m going down with this ship. It’s the intimacy and the clear respect and the whole knowing that the other will happily do whatever is needed and just !!!! Themb!!! They deserve good things!

But in terms of changes to my ships: Margaret deserves better than Frank. Like, so much better. At this point I’m getting pretty invested in Margaret/Trapper, because for all the teasing Trapper sends her way, when it comes down to it he really does respect her (shoutout to that episode where they got stuck in the supplies shed!) And idk, it just really feels like Frank idolizes her as this like, Ideal Woman, which she’s not and she clearly doesn’t want to be, and it’s been really nice to see her get fed up with him more and more often. And I absolutely love how she’s started to really trust Trapper and Hawkeye, I love that for her!! She deserves to have friends who will help her no matter what!!

I’ve also found myself in Hawkeye/Father Mulcahy territory after checking out the various ship tags on Ao3! Hawkeye/Radar is 100% my otp at this point, but I am fascinated by the dynamic between Hawkeye and Father Mulcahy, and tbch I’m really getting invested with each episode where they interact

Unfortunately I still have not met BJ, so I don’t yet have an opinion on hunnihawk. This will likely change once I’ve met him, of course!!

Okay so for things aside from shipping!!

That episode where Hawkeye is awake for like three days straight and just does shift after shift in the OR and ultimately has to be sedated haunts me. Particularly the scene where he sits on Radar’s desk and sings him I’ll Be Home for Christmas, just. The way he’s crying and it’s so. I don’t even know how to put it in words, that scene and that episode haunt my every waking thought and I love him so much and it was not fair at all that that episode made me cry like that

Speaking of episodes that made me cry! I loved and hated every single moment of the episode where Henry dies. I knew he died, I’ve known he dies since like halfway through season 1, and I still wasn’t ready. I really hoped that there would be more with him. I love him so much, I really loved how he was the father figure for everyone and he was so good, he’s such a great character and :(

Klinger is rapidly becoming one of my favourite characters too, and I just. He’s so relatable!! I really liked the episode where he finally landed a psych eval with Sid only to not get the discharge because he isn’t trans or gay and refused to sign that he was. I just!! As a man who’s been waiting to be far enough into his transition to wear dresses again without being misgendered, Klinger is just so so so relatable and I love him so so much!!

(tbch I really just love every character so much, so y’know. Every character gets the I love himb treatment lol)

I said this earlier but it bares repeating: I really love how Margaret has learned to trust Hawkeye and Trapper. Like, the fact that they were who she went to when that general died in her tent, and that she willingly shared her alcohol with them that time Frank outlawed alcohol entirely, and just! Her growth as a character has been so incredible to see, and I am so incredibly excited to see how she grows in future seasons!!

I’m kind of on the fence about Frank now. Idk he’s fascinating in that he really is such a gung-ho stereotypical American man to the point of it all being a farce, but also as the episodes go on he’s just getting more unhinged and not even in a good way. I’m not sure I’m correct on this but I don’t believe he’s in later seasons, so I’m really curious to see what happens to him? At this point I’m still in the love to hate him camp, but he’s also starting to just get annoying. That opinion will likely change again soon though, because every few episodes I’ve been flipping back and forth between liking and not liking him

And my final opinions: I’m so glad I discovered the option to remove the laugh track! It never really bothered me, but there is such a stark difference in how each episode hits when it’s not there at all, and omg wow. I already thought this was a fantastic show, I mean ofc, but without the laugh track it’s so stupendously better it’s just. There are no words. I’m going to have to go back to the first two seasons at the end and watch them again but without the laugh track, and I am so excited for that!

So all in all, I am still having the time of my life! Watching this show has really low key become one of my favourite parts of the day, and I’m just so in love with all the characters I just! They all deserve such good things!!! And here I am, having hardly written in ages, knee deep in fic drafts already!! Something something this sure is one of the most shows ever!!!

Ranking of kings episode 14 SPOILERS!!!!!!!!

Okay, so ever since I saw the new opening I have been very curious about who this character was.

Since he looks similar to Despa and has Desha’s hair color my first thought was maybe it was their father when he was young.THEN EPISODE 14 DROPS THIS BOMBSHELL!!!!!!! AFTER CAPTURING OUKEN, WE ARE TREATED TO THIS FLASHBACK!!!!!!!

THE MAN FROM THE OPENING IS OUKEN BEFORE HE WAS GRANTED IMMORTALITY!!!!!!😱🤯 In addition, the crazed sadistic knight we see now used to be one of the kindest men in the Underworld.😢

With how the Underworld’s knight were emphasizing how they would need Despa to defeat Ouken last episode my first thought was that Ouken must have been one of Despa’s students. Now, this could still very well be true, but this tidbit from episode 14 shows it runs much deeper than that!

Though it may have been mentioned before, Ouken is a PRINCE. And, from what we can see in the flashback he was a resident of the underworld and a knight. This would mean…OUKEN IS DESPA AND DESHA’S BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

However, Ouken being a prince begs the question, how did he gain immortality and go crazy? My first guess, as was probably the first guess of others, was that he won the ranking of kings and went crazy. But, princes don’t enter the ranking, only kings can. So what happened?...

King Desha has beef with Miranjo, and it has to do with Ouken…MIRANJO IS THE ONE WHO GAVE OUKEN IMMORTALITY!!!!!!!!🤯WHAT’S MORE, INVADING BOJI’S KINGDOM ISN’T MERELY A POWER GRAB BY DESHA!!!! IT’S HIM TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE DOWN AND DESTROY THE WITCH WHO TURNED HIS SWEET BROTHER INTO A MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
