Once I Smiled
A song by Leonard Nimoy & Charles R. Grean (1968)
Once I smiled a smile so rare,
Loved a girl boy with golden hair
Acted like a human boy
That would pause on clouds of joy
Ran through fields like a child of the ground
Kissed and touched with a silent sound
Swung from trees like a monkey pup,
Saw the world from downside up
Then reality came crushing,
Drowned my joy with human pain.
"Don't go!"
"Must go."
Never again!
Once I smiled a smile so rare,
Loved a girl boy with golden hair
Ran through fields like a child of the ground
Kissed and touched with a silent sound
Now inside I keep my pearl,
An image of a golden girl boy,
Locked away in a secret part
Covered and hid in a seashell heart.
Listen for yourself here!

I’m really not over the way that MASH nails on the head the tension between what is technically a terrible and severely limiting situation and place, and the odd freedoms a place like this affords to people. They way these people might never have been friends (family) by geography or interests or ideals outside of here, but now belong together, and the way individual idiosyncrasies afford one another the space to exist as a version of oneself who would get stifled/locked up/attacked/exiled/censored/judged in what one might consider “society”
yeah, that’s... literally what happened -- and happens -- over and over

dorlene au where they're both professors (thinking linguistics for dorcas and maybe something in stem for marls) and they're rivals!!!!! dorcas makes her yearly presentation on descartes at the beginning of term? the stem kids are all talking about it because professor mckinnon keeps shitting on it in class instead of actually teaching. marlene has a big science thingy experiment she's trying to convince investors to fund? oh you bet your ass dorcas is presenting why the experiment will fail and pulling out articles from the depths of jstor when they're meant to be presenting coserius theories (oh, marlene has so many opinions on coseriu even though she doesn't even speak any romance languages).
everyone is just waiting for them to fuck it out of their systems so that kids can actually learn shit and not just evil plots to bring the other down. the faculties have bets going on for how long the whole circus will run (so far remus is in the lead with his winnings).
now there are some who believe that oh they're married, this is their weird form of foreplay, but nope. they're not married. they're divorced (something something they got married too young and were both bad at communication) and they're still very much in love with one another :)

screaming crying throwing up, daughter of ferrix as the episode that shows the aftermath of the choices of one way out. the fallout the ugly truths the damage and what comes after. maarvas one way out was staying, rebelling in her own way without help, and she’s dead now. andor and melshi as the sole survivors having to push past what they lost and go alone, because one of them has to survive if to tell the galaxy about the prison system. mon who lied about her lack of consideration of marrying off her daughter, because it’s the only way she can get the banker to cover up her paper trail, and she hates, loathes, despises herself for it. luthen who nearly breaks his semblance of peace he has with saw, who puts the nail in the coffin of sacrificing 30 men and kryegor to keep their spy on the inside.
The way One Way Out felt like a season finale, but it wasn’t - there was this episode, and there’s going to be another. Something about how even with that feeling of finality, there’s always a what comes after, and that after the choice is made you have to live with yourself for sticking through with it

Kirk: *clueless and unable to read a paper map because he’s from space*
La’an: *sighs* give it. (I don’t care you’re a captain and I’m just a lieutenant, I’m gonna boss you around)
is such a great dynamic. Can it be like that pls?
(McCoy and Spock would just let him figure it out you know)

the first ep of s3 is actually the Most evil episode in a show full of evil episodes. It starts off fun and lighthearted like oh look at House his leg's healed! He's running 8 miles just because! He's still the same guy that steamrolls over attempts at courtesy and doesn't react normally to anything and mainly communicates through mean sarcasm, but also he's happy with his life for the first time in years and wants to make others lives better too! Look at him getting emotionally invested in his patient's health! Oh wait the treatment's not working. Huh. It's still not working. House is starting to worry his leg's getting worse again. Wilson says he just needs time but he doesn't have time, the patient's being discharged, his family has resigned themselves to taking care of someone who's nothing more than a burden. He goes for another run to clear his head and gets an idea. He can fix the patient he just needs another chance, but he's told no. No you can't fix them. So he gives up. and the patient does end up being cured, but House doesn't find out because Cuddy and Wilson don't want him to, they think it would make him worse, that they know what's best. His leg hurts again. He risks his closest relationship to make the pain stop.
House got invested in a patient, tried to improve someone's quality of life, to hope and try for more than just survival, and then he failed. The world convinced him he had been right to be cynical and keep his distance and never have hope, because things don't get any better when you try. They just hurt worse.
