Colonel Potter Won’t Come Until Next Week So Here’s Some Hawkeye For The Interim. (Realism Is NOT

So why would you do this to me?

(Actually fantastic headcannons)

Do you think trapper went back home and resumed his life? Any headcanons you have about why he never wrote hawkeye?

In coming Trapper stuff:

I think that when Trapper (and pretty much everyone else) went home, they did do their upmost to try and resume where they had left off, as any of us would.

The war definitely did have impact on Trapper. Most notably, when he was on that plane going back to the states, he was shaking like a leaf and holding onto his arm rest for dear life. If they served alcohol on that flight, you could bet he was knocking them back, as they crossed the Sea of Japan (R.I.P Henry).

When arrived at the airport in Boston, Louise and the girls were there waiting for him holding up a big sign that said, "Welcome Back Daddy!"

And he cried tears of joy as he held Becky and Kathy, which didn't go unnoticed by Louise, who he kissed very passionately (and took her by surprise).

He threw himself headlong into being a father again, and I'm not going to say that he completely stopped cheating (as its heavily implied he was cheating before the war), but he definitely toned it down a bit...was a bit more there for Louise. They also had more kids.

Trapper developed night terrors. When he was awake he was all loving a jokey and "Nah, it's cool. The war couldn't touch me." but when he was asleep, the truth came out. Louise would wait till it was safe to touch him, and then she'd hold him real close and tight. She'd remind him over and over again that he was safe.

I believe that Trapper did leave a note for Hawkeye. He left it inside his hat, but when Frank decided to clean The Swamp, he chucked it. I don't think Frank even saw the note, he just didn't want Trapper's stupid hat there anymore. (It would be in character for Frank to know about the note being in the hat and have that be his motivation for throwing it away, but Frank also can't keep secrets or lie very well, and he would have eventually said something about it to Hawkeye or Margaret with his attempt at an evil laugh).

Trapper also wrote to Hawkeye pretty soon after he settled back at home. Unfortunately, that was right around the time that the army declared Hawkeye dead. Trapper got his mail sent back to him, saying that Hawkeye was dead.

So Hawkeye thinks that Trapper didn't care about him

and Trapper thinks his wartime bestie was killed.

Oops my hand slipped

If you wanted another request for the MASH series, I’d love to see Colonel Potter. For all his seriousness, he has some great silly moments, and I think the way you portray the characters really captures both aspects very well!

Definitely been planning to do potter! I love him

WELL THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN IF YOU INSIST

1 like for me to write an essay about Ted Lasso Season 3 Episode 6: Sunflowers.

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.

It’s been FOREVER since I last posted

(It’s been six days)

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.

Four days of work

For TWO PANELS OF COLOR

If all goes according to plan, I’ll post a digital version of this soon. In the meantime… God do I wish I could watch this show for the first time again.
