sm work adjacent things r:
1. getting to b on set during rehearsals when rcgkd r all speaking scenes out loud fr th first time nd every1 just laughs thru th ntire thing, its so nice, th whole crew just crowds around nd cracks tf up watching them play around w it b4 we hav to all get serious (well, serious-ish, we still watch the monitors nd laugh thru the takes too :'3)
2. bcoming th resident artist fr my team nd being forced (<3) to design th cam crew tshirt again

but its lovingly shortened to just "south philly skate"
both show up around th ep a couple times
th logos r actully on a shirt we got tht season :)
The Nightman Cometh (I've rewatched this THE MOST times)
Chardee MacDennis: The Game of Games (second most rewatched)
The Gang Gets Analyzed
Chardee MacDennis 2: Electric Boogaloo (third most rewatched)
Mac & Dennis Move to the Suburbs
Honourable mentions: Who Pooped the Bed, The Gang Exploits the Mortgage Crisis ("Do this for me, okay baby boy?"), Frank Reynolds’ Little Beauties, The Maureen Ponderosa Wedding Massacre, the high school reunion two-parter, Making Dennis Reynolds a Murderer, The Gang Texts, The Janitor Always Mops Twice
Fun fact I got season 4 on dvd and it has the live version of The Nightman Cometh as a special feature!!
I read the "what's a girl?" scene more like... "what are you hiding?" and him giving the funniest possible answer. Like, "I'm not going to tell you, but we both know it's not a girl. What's a girl? Okay, bye!" I think we clock it that way because we want them to talk about or think about what it would mean if he did ever have a girl with him. TBH I think he's more liable to have a cryptid in his room, and I think Scully thinks that too. 🥲
ijbol honestly probably this. i just like the implications of her teasing him about girls when he's such a "bachelor" & she has a crush but they're best friends 😂 something about "unlike you mulder, i would like to have a life." "i have a life."
I have a new Furby to work with!! Thanks so, so much to @kombuchakev and @throughthewildblue for giving me this special girl! They found her in a thrift shop still in the box at about 1/3 average price and immediately got her for me 🥺
She’s named Cowmbucha after kombuchakev and when she arrived at my house she was still sealed in her box but completely upside down, first Furby I’ve had delivered in breech position, she’s quirky like that 🙃
I’m so excited to give this cow pal the cottagecore makeover she deserves! 🐮💐🪡
(also here she is next to my other black and white baby, Sage 🖤🤍)
This is the one where the war ends, and they each go their separate ways, and there are too many almosts that stand between them, too much possibility. They like each other now, they do, but they're not friends, not quite, not just - they've never managed to just be friends, even though they tried their best, even though circumstances and proximity and how very much they liked each other forced them to try.
They're back in the states, and for the first couple years, they keep tabs on each other purely through the gossip chain. It's easy, because other people always bring up the other without them asking. It's easy, because they never have to ask.
Have you heard that Margaret is getting out? they say. Have you heard that Hawkeye finally left Crabapple Cove and got a new position a few hours away from his dad? they say. Have you heard about Margaret's new guy? Have you heard about Hawkeye's new place? Have you heard that Margaret moved to a different state? Have you heard that Hawkeye's giving a talk at this conference?
And then they see each other, at a wedding, at a funeral. Something that brings some of the 4077 back together, and oh, emotions are high, and oh, it's so easy to fall back into old patterns. They've been back for two years. They've never left.
They sleep together, and then, before they part ways, they - still warm and happy and relaxed and so pleased to be back in each other's orbit - decide they should do a better job of staying in touch.
It's a terrible idea.
They do it anyway.
Letters scribbled between surgeries, phone calls at odd hours to account for time differences and night shifts, photos and recipes and funny newspaper comics cut out and all pressed together into envelopes, oh it's easy, isn't it.
(They've never been easy.)
Margaret wants a child; Margaret wants her career; Margaret wants a partner; Margaret wants wants wants.
(Hawkeye wants to not be afraid of wanting.)
Margaret gets engaged.
Hawkeye's dad gets sick.
He doesn't tell her.
They're still talking, is the thing. Her fiancé, who she likes well enough, who's her match in almost every way, who has the same goals as she does, who respects her, who cares about her - he doesn't like how much she stays in contact with Hawkeye, but she thinks maybe he knows a losing battle when he sees one, because he never pushes for an ultimatum.
(She's never told him she loves him, but she thinks maybe she could learn to, thinks it could be nice to grow into loving him. He's never said it either, but they could be something, couldn't they? Couldn't they be something?)
So she and Hawkeye are still talking, and if Hawkeye keeps the conversation on her, well. She likes to talk enough.
And if he sounds - if he sounds -
He'll talk when he's ready, she thinks. He's given her grace often enough, after all. Although he's kicked her in the rear enough that she has no qualms about getting in the game if she needs to. She doesn't think she needs to, and then BJ calls her.
I'm worried about Hawk, he says. Me, too, she says. Have you heard about his dad? he says.
She takes the first flight out.
The thing is that loving people is easy, and choosing to be with them can be hard, hard, hard.
This is the one where Margaret chooses for both of them, because Hawkeye can do this alone, he can, and he has been, but this is the one where he doesn't have to, and he doesn't have to be afraid of asking for what he wants, and they don't have to be anything more than this, anything more than friends -
But then, they've never been just friends, have they. Proximity, and circumstances, and high emotions, and oh, they like each other so much. Oh, it's always been hard, holding each other at arm's length.
(They've never been easy, but not loving each other would always be too hard.)
I know I jokingly call Dean "the cowboy" but historically cowboys were vaqueros, queer BIPOC, not dead-eyed hwhite boys and somehow that makes it funnier
I know, it makes it funny but also I’m mad that we don’t have a queer Black and Indigenous monster hunting cowboy falling in love with an angel. Angels are also supposed to be terrifying eldritch horrors so he’d be a monster fucker too. That’s a show I’d watch 15 seasons of, fuck these wannabe gritty Will-Arnett-as-Lego-Batman-voiced aging saltines
