slowly realizing that I’ve befriended a real-life hawkeye and bj and that has me very happy
cut bc it’s a bit long and I don’t know how much yall want to hear me ramble about people you’ve never actually met
irl hawkeye:
- dark hair, blue eyes
- sleep? who’s she?
- very strong sense of right and wrong
- chaotic neutral/good
- hobbies include: hating republicans, self-medicating, very dark but very good one-liners
- good relationship w one parent
- liberal af
- almost certainly bi
- knows a shitload of showtunes
- the seen-some-shit main character with a soft spot
- smart af but sometimes tries to hide it
- from new england
- claustrophobic
- friends w short uptight-but-learning-to-chill afab person w blue eyes who’s scared of loud noises (me)
- three schools of thought on him- want to fuck him, want to be him, or want him dead
- communist? it’s more likely than you think
- can smoke your ass at card games
irl bj:
- fair-haired, blue-eyed, tall and skinny sidekick
- absolute angel
- self-medicates
- awful puns cover very precarious mental state
- little more innocent than hawkeye but makes up for it by being corruptible
- also liberal as they get
- almost certainly bi
- absolutely wonderful female SO. literal fuckin angel
- universally loved with very small circle of dislikers
- wearing skate shoes is a religion
- hawkeye’s partner in crime
- absolutely terrible driver
- but actually knows his shit with engines
- will geek out over anything with an engine and two to four wheels
- also friends w short blue-eyed afab person (me)
- can also smoke you at cards when he wants to
- supportive friend (read: “hell yeah, [insert very bad idea here] is a great idea!”)
- will walk through hell for loved ones
- absolutely adores children

literally so many of the jokes in mash make more sense if u think hawkeye is queer like. at all times in the show we are meant to see the generals/bureaucrats as the butt of the joke, as the people we are making fun of; and the people who are actually affected by the war (especially minorities) as victims who are surviving despite the actions of those with more power than them. every time hawkeye adopts gay stereotypes, or propositions a general, or flirts w col. flagg, the original intention was obviously poking fun at gay men and hawkeye’s femininity, but that goes against the central concept of the show. if u see hawkeye’s queerness as genuine, then the humor comes from the fact that none of the straight people are picking up on it, or if they are, they’re doing a shit job of discouraging it. flagg calls him gay and his response is basically “yeah i am and u wanna fuck me so bad it makes u look stupid.” which is a joke that objectively makes more sense when it’s aimed at flagg rather than the abstract concept of gay men. 
also they do This Exact Thing with hawkeye’s communism liberalism, and then keep conflating communism with queerness at any opportunity for eleven seasons straight. 
genuinely cannot fathom how all these guys in the 60s-70s created some of the best queer men that have ever aired on television on accident. i am going to college to learn how to do what a couple guys named gene did without even meaning to
