I wanna ramble about Jax for a bit. Spoilers for TADC ep. 9.

Jax's storyline as a trans woman character is incredibly important to me. Like many of my fellow transfems, I went through a period where I was strongly opposed to anything feminine. This basically went from birth up until I was about 16. As a little kid I hated the idea of wearing pink because it was "for girls." When I got older, I was in just the right era to get swept away in the "anti-SJW" right wing pipeline. I wanted to punish all traces of femininity, and that included what I felt inside.

As the show went on, I saw so many people come to hate Jax. But I just couldn't hate him myself. Every outburst, every mean spirited comment, everything was just a mirror that I saw 15 year old me in.

I think every second of the finale was perfection. It's devastating that the Jax we knew never got to truly accept himself and try to make up for the harm he'd caused. It's devastating because it's so often the case for my people. Because it was nearly the case for me. The moment he took the leap and talked about how he felt to someone he trusted, only to pull back once he realized how vulnerable he'd made himself. Destroying friendships before they can get off the ground. It was all just me.

I don't wanna hear anyone talk about "lazy writing" or whine that Jax got "so much screentime" or worse try to insist that he's not trans. I just want to thank @gooseworx for crafting such a beautiful and tragic story that echos so many trans women's real lived experiences. Thank you, gooseworx. It meant everything to me.

You know what, after thinking a lot about HOW angry some ppl got over the different characters’ choices in this show because “that’s not what I would’ve done!!”, I think maybe what these people REALLY want/need is to play choose-your-own-adventure games and books instead.

Like Minecraft Story Mode, for how much ppl used to rag on it, would be perfect for them. They get to control the main character and who they make friends with or not, and what decisions they make, but there’s still an overall story/plot to get excited for. This way if they wanted to keep trying to check on Jax or spend more time with Ragatha or get an alternate ending where they undo all the abstractions they could have any of those options they want lol.

Idk it just seems like for these people the experience of watching a movie/show where they have NO control over what happens or what the characters do is too stressful for them to the point where it’s not enjoyable. They’ll probably have more fun doing something where they have more of a say in what happens. Bc for these people it’s more than just them being slightly bummed when the thing they were hoping to see doesn’t come true, it’s actual anger where they go off on ppl on social media over it.

I’m not saying this in a rude or mean way at all, it’s a legit observation I had

I made a fanvid about Hawkeye Pierce set to the Richard Cheese big band cover of "Creep" !!!!!

[bracketsandunderscores]

Post-war Hawkeye but it's him asking Margaret to close for him in the OR and being met with the fact she isn't the nurse he's operating with.

Post-war Hawkeye but it's him building a still and, for the first time, realising BJ isn't there to take the first sip with him.

Post-war Hawkeye but it's him looking for someone to complain to and having to come to terms with the fact not everyone is as patient as Potter was with him.

Post-war Hawkeye but it's him donating his change to the church every Sunday, knowing Mulcahy would have been overjoyed to receive it.

Post-war Hawkeye but it's him buying a teddy bear and wondering how Radar sleeps without his.

Post-war Hawkeye but it's him craving hotdogs, knowing Klinger might still be missing them, too.

Post-war Hawkeye but it's him hearing a classical song play on the street and thinking about what Charles would have to say, even if he doesn't want to.

Post-war Hawkeye but it's him knowing that as much as he hates the war and what he went through, he'll always hate that he can't be with those people again.
