THE SLUT STRAND

EDDIE DIAZ

I JUST FINISHED THE WINNERS AND THERE WILL BE MINOR SPOILERS

when I say just I mean like 15 minutes ago— There are still dry tears on my face.

The way Mr Backman spoils the book for us over and over is flawless at giving individuality to the story as a narrative, giving it its own voice, but it’s also a top notch literary device to cultivate plot twists. I was so preoccupied with him telling us—from the beginning—who was going to die that the things that Bang the dog, Mumble’s ending, and all the other little tragedies we watched happen took shocked me to my core

On the subject of the compassion and hopefulness— I can’t even begin to put into words how I feel about the “Time travel can’t be real” lines and the lines written on all the different tombstones in the story, or Alicia’s story

Cannot deal with how the story of Beartown knows itself inside and out and how it tells itself so nonchalantly, spoiling things left and right, and killing our notions of a happy ending before we even get the stupid idea to hope.

"She won't succeed." "It won't be enough." "He will be too late."

But what gets me is how the story also so obviously cares. Cares about the people, about the events that went down, and it knows that the outcome can't be changed but it wishes so damn hard it could be.

"Obviously we still hoped. Dear god, how we hoped." "The people in this town who loved him. There were so many of us."

It's not them, it's us. Almost like the town itself is telling it. Fredrik Backman I am in your walls.

I’m so proud of myself. I managed to get through the first three minutes without crying and even managed to stop crying for about 45 seconds sometime between 17-20 minutes. BRB gonna go drink some water

Underrated 80s movie

three fugitives 1989 is a romcom

I want Josh to get a boyfriend and I don’t want to be there for it.

I want it to be like a background thing we get to hear about through break room conversations with Maddie. I want them to have met completely normally— like maybe they struck up a conversation in a really long cafe line.

Maybe they have a fight or something and Josh goes into work and they have a tough day at dispatch where he does what he always does and is the voice of calm and reason for everyone else and then goes home and even though they had been fighting he still gets to lean on his boyfriend.

And I want Sue to notice he doing well and to hug him and say she’s HAPPY for him.

I just want the background character who supports everyone to be HAPPY AND SUPPORTED.

Let’s put aside Buddie for a second…

Guys what do you want from season 9? Because I’ve got one thing I really want and I’d like someone to ask please.

For the sake of my mental and physical health, I may have to stop watching 9-1-1

My queer ass with limited sexual interest and a romantic attraction to all the genders was absolutely flabbergasted when I, at 15, discovered that no one else seems to understand how flattering hiking pants are.

IM SORRY FOR THE WAIT 😫😫😫

Things mash invented: mustaches, maine and the concept of going there, the defibrillator, spam lamb, every tv show that came after it and love

OP I hope you don’t mind but ur right there are so many episodes that fit

Average MASH ep dichotomy

I 👏 NEED 👏 EARLY 👏 DESTIEL 👏 FIC 👏 RECS

Im on season 4 of my misguided decision to rewatch supernatural and I really love the vibe of them first getting to know each other in the earlier seasons. Any recs?

Sometimes you’re watching M*A*S*H to have a good time, and other times the army doctors take your heart and start squeezing until you’ve stopped breathing and show you the basics of humanity and life in the most gut-wrenching ways.

Oops my hand slipped

I’m a contestant in the first ever season of “College Cooking,” a culinary show in which university students battle it out in front of top chefs using only the combined ingredients and materials found in their kitchens. I approach the judges with my first dish— the prompt was simple. An easy, nutritious dinner that can be packaged and brought to school for lunch the next day.

I am too old for pity. There will be no mercy tonight.

“As you can see,” I say, presenting a pot fresh off the stove, “I’ve made a basic chicken soup. Because I haven’t been taking my iron pills, I’ve included as many vegetables as I could get my hands on.” I set the pot down on the table and hand out spoons.

“It’s essentially your typical chicken noodle soup, but I’ve added my own personal twist.” All the judges look up to meet my eyes and it takes a moment for me to realize that they’re waiting for me to explain. “Well, you see, it’s a fun little soup tradition I have, where I don’t actually know how much broth to add. If you turn your attention to the dish, you’ll see that it’s not really SOUP soup as much as it’s soggy soup ingredients. I think it adds a novel element. I hope you enjoy.”

Then I turn around and walk straight off the set.

Colors. My greatest enemy.

(It looked fine and then I tried to add lighting and now the skin colors aren’t skin coloring)

oh my gourd, have you done Sindey yet for your character thing????

Sidney come next! Any moments you thing need to be included?

I wanted to put in the scene where they send him out into the minefield with a map of New York but couldn’t figure out how to fit it.

MASH S5E7 “Dear Sigmund” can go Fuck itself. Respectfully.

MASH S5E2 “Margaret’s Engagement”

Frank: *to Margaret* Might be nice to have a little youth for a change.

Hawkeye: Is it too late to fake my death?

House binge with roommate + art block = house and Wilson doodles

Just finished season 4 of MASH

I know this art blog is quickly becoming a MASH rampage (not intentional, I swear) but I really want to give my thoughts on the season 4 finale and this seems like the best place to do it.

An incomplete list of every moment that struck me in S4E24: The Interview:

Hawkeye's demeanour in this episode is entirely different than in 'Yankee Doodle doctor', particularly his behaviour toward the film crew. This is unsurprising, but still significant to me.

I loved hearing Radar talk about his earthworms. I love whenever the characters engage in genuine hobbies outside of their jobs in the army, but hearing Radar babble about his earthworms was especially lovely.

"War is just killing, that's all." - Klinger

Hawkeye is so honest this episode, and he does it all with this completely checked out look, eyes glazed over.

Hawkeye also sums up his whole entire character. He talks about putting on a 'coat' of morale just to make others stop believing in where they are because it's the only way he can feel present. He also get's asked how he stays sane, which is pretty significant foreshadowing, to which he answer with a list of frankly insane things to do. It reminds me of the S1 episode where he pretended to lose it in order to get time off, but also of all the little times in episodes where he did something that was a bit outlandish, a bit crazy, and somehow also made perfect sense, like when he (briefly) pretended to be a corpse in an attempt to get back to his father.

"There's so much more to care about," and "It just doesn't matter anymore," are two things Hawk says in basically one breath and boy is that relatable.

I've already seen this clip but Mulcahy talking about the steam and the bodies in the cold hurts every time.

Genuine, non-sexual focus and appreciation for the nurses and the jobs they do.

Referencing the episode where Radar get's drunk in Tokyo and him looking so abashed about it.

"If I knew all the answers, I'd run for God." -Klinger again

More on Klinger– Usually he takes advantage of any opportunity to display his insanity to higher ups. He doesn't do that here. He talks entirely sincerely about his joy for home and his hate for the war. You can really see every emotion on his face. He is so real.

Radar's compassion for the local Koreans. There's something special about it coming from him specifically that I can't quite pinpoint but I love it. Maybe because he comes from such a similar background but is now in a position where the people he answers to tell him that he's better than them. I think Radar must feel he has more in common with the local farmers than with his own colleagues.

I've never thought about it before, but it makes so much sense that Potter misses being around people his own age, and I could probably go on about that forever but I probably shouldn't.

Father Mulcahy looks so tired.

BJ smiles when he greets his wife and daughter, but when he looks down he looks devastated. How hard must it be to talk to his family through a TV screen. The acting in this episode it amazing.

I think it was BJ who talked about being torn between his love for the people he worked with and wanting to erase them from his memory, which reminded me of a line from the MASH fanfic I wrote before I even watched this episode; 'Nothing makes me happier than having people to miss, and that they’re far enough away that I can miss them.' (Check out my short fic, it's called After Life - Hawkeye's Poem)

The narrator ends by saying that they're doing what they do best but what they'd rather not do in a place they'd rather not be and I think that's just about the point of the show

All said, amazing episode, perfect acting, did what just about every episode of MASH does and gave me a deep sense of melancholy. I've seen a lot about this episode on here and I totally get why but I think we should also give some appreciation to the episode before it (Deluge) because I genuinely believe that that was just as good.

None of my friends watch mash so I have to publicly post me first time reactions and…

Guys s4e23???? I feel like there’s a brick in my stomach. I don’t have words for it.

I wish I had the time to make art for every episode that hit me this hard, but there’s too many

i hope all my mashtuals know they are like celebrities to me

I am finally going to the after life and Charon’s ferry moves so fast that my heart doesn’t have the time to leap out of my chest and into the ocean below me. No one told me the flight would be so lonely. I have not been alone since the moment I was born. I cannot wait to see you again.

Sorry Trapper fans- his art is going to be late because I’m working on this pretty much obsessively.

S4E8 The Kids made me really emotional okay???
