Do you ever think about the fact that BJ went for some out-of-camp self care and came back all handsome and Charles teased him saying he hoped Hawkeye had a chance to see him like that and that was how BJ found out that Hawkeye had been sent to the Aid Station instead of him and he was filled with a special kind of guilt and worry because not only is Hawk in more danger there but he is literally in more danger because of BJ and he spends the whole episode worrying about him and the worry is so bad he can barely do his job without making his worry everybody else’s problem and then he hears that a doctor at the aid station died and his grief over it potentially being Hawkeye is palpable until he recognises the exact way Hawkeye stitches on a patient that comes into the 4077 so he knows at least for now Hawkeye is still alive and meanwhile Hawkeye is having a Bad Time at the Aid Station to the extent that he writes a will and he leaves most of it to his dad except for a few sentimental items that he lovingly bestows to the most important people in his life to symbolise what they mean to him but when it gets to BJ he stalls and cannot think of what to leave him because nothing feels adequate and then he gets to go back to the 4077 and he is exhausted and rattled but alive and he walks into the swamp in the dark and instead of going to bed he goes to sit beside BJ who is asleep and BJ senses that Hawk is near so he wakes up and in his joy at seeing Hawkeye there alive he asks Hawkeye when he wakes up to remind him to give him a kiss and Hawkeye tells him to go back to sleep because he must be dreaming and then as BJ lays his head back down to sleep Hawkeye turns the photo that BJ has on his side table that is a still from the special anniversary video of his wife and daughter that Hawkeye put together for him and Hawkeye ponders it for a moment and realises that the most meaningful gift he could possibly give BJ in his will would be a list of all the patients BJ helped in Korea that BJ could give to his daughter to help explain to her why he missed the first years of her life and so despite being half dead on his feet he starts compiling that list right then and presumably maintained this list throughout the war adding to it every time BJ helped a patient and left it to little Erin Hunnicutt who he has never met because to love BJ is to love his daughter and to love his love for his daughter and he probably never knew how panicked BJ was at the thought of losing him and BJ probably never found out about Hawkeye’s will and what was in it and Hawkeye never did get to see BJ all handsome????

little bit of my piece for the #mash 2022 Best Care Anywhere 50th Anniversary Zine!! https://mashzine2022.bigcartel.com/

I’ve come to shipping Hawkeye and BJ.

I always kind of did but more implicitly and not actively. And I still was/am so there for BJ/Peg.

Now that I’ve started actively shipping Hawkeye/BJ I have been thinking about it all more and I do not believe that Hawkeye was romantically interested in Trapper. I think he loved him as a friend and as someone who he could connect to in a terrible place but I don’t think it was ever romantic. But I believe that bi and beautiful Hawkeye was immediately taken with BJ.

And BJ definitely went to Maine

I don’t know if I ever told this story on here but apparently when my mom was back in college one of her final exams was scheduled for the evening of the mash finale and a bunch of students complained and threw a fit until finally the professor was like “show of hands: how many of you are planning on skipping my exam to go watch mash?” And like a good 80% raised their hands and the prof was like “…and what if that meant you failed the entire course?” And apparently only a few students put their hands down so the guy had to reschedule the exam. Moral of the story: there’s power in numbers and also mash was and forever will be more important than statistical analysis

Loretta Swit recounted an incident in which McLean Stevenson stood up for her. “I went through a period in my first three years on the show when I would try to make suggestions about my character. Everyone appeared to be listening, but it was more a case of ‘Thank you — next.’ I’ll never forget something McLean Stevenson did. I made a suggestion at the rehearsal table one day. One of the producers said no, he didn’t think that would work. So 10 minutes later McLean made the same suggestion, but in a deeper voice — which of course meant he got more respect. The same producer said it was a terrific idea. And McLean said, ‘Why didn’t you think so when Loretta said the same thing 10 minutes ago?’”
