#anyway...... how this could all unfold....... at some point bj and trapper get into a fight probably

[variousqueerthings]

was drowsily entertaining the idea that BJ is straight, but loves Hawkeye and would provide acts of service for him that include things like kissing or helping him get off, but he wouldn’t be able to physically/emotionally connect with those acts himself

and that Trapper is gay but seriously repressed, and loves Hawkeye, and would try to come at intimacy and sex in as detached and manly a way as possible so that he can rationalise it away, while still desperately wanting him

and therefore they’re both not quite as there as Hawkeye would ever need, but for reasons that aren’t quite the same, although the results overlap

#hawkeye pierce #bj hunnicutt #trapper mcintyre #im watching MASH #MASH #idk depressing concepts make me fall asleep because it's a good place to start Narrative #havent solved this one yet it was just a thought #that scene in big eden.... if there's an overlap between mash fans and big eden fans #between the lead and his best friend (his best friend was written as straight but in this day and age comes off as complexly queer) #(imo) #(anyway where his best friend has a breakdown because he knows the lead loves him and what he has to give isnt ever gonna be enough) #anyway...... how this could all unfold....... at some point bj and trapper get into a fight probably #i think i need bj and trapper to fistfight -- yeahyeah I know the rituals toxic masculinity etcetc #but i cant see them calmly talking things out #there's a big hawkeye-shaped elephant in the room (well a scrawny-shaped one anyway) #and they both have a lot they feel like they need to prove and they're not healthy about it #meanwhile hawkeye's like *sigh guess im still trapped in a Narrative*
