Her giggles come unbidden, brought about by an idle thought and hastened with the fizz of the seltzer in her Singapore Sling. She presses the cards to her face, nearly leaves lipstick stands on her full house before resurfacing. "Sorry, sorry, a funny thought just came to me," she explains through her chuckles. "Before we were going steady, Beej let me guess what his name meant, and the very first name I tried, you'll never guess." She doesn't give them a chance to, giggles increasing as she leans over and squeezes Hawkeye's hand. "Benjamin John! How funny is it that in the end, I got a Benjamin and a John after all, hey?" (X)

happy holidays and happy new year to my best friend, @remyfire!! A small little moodboard for my favorite quad in the world with the silliest name, McPunnihawk. Thank you for letting me play in the Some Things Are Evergreen sandbox with you!

"Why don't I give you one, then?" It takes BJ a moment to catch up. "A…" "A fantasy," Hawk replies. "If you have to save all that mental energy for doctoring later." "You tell me a fantasy," BJ says softly, suddenly so conscious of the thin state of their tent walls. "And I take care of my little situation?" Hawk hums as he shrugs. "Hey, what you do with it is up to you. I'm only running my mouth." ~~~ Weeks after an unexpected passionate encounter with Hawkeye in Seoul, BJ struggles to figure out why Hawk seems to be so uncertain about picking up a casual sexual relationship with him—just friends burning off steam. But when Hawkeye suddenly offers to narrate an erotic fantasy for BJ, the rules of the game they're playing begin to rapidly shift.

This is the first sequel to my hunnihawk fic, Scratching The Itch, and the second story in my series spanning the show and post-war, Some Things Are Evergreen! Thank you all for waiting for it, and I hope y'all enjoy!

#there's something really beautiful about experiencing the weather patterns of a new place #where i live now. its not like where i grew up. not like the foothills of Appalachia but its more familiar than the Chihuahuan desert was #when i go home to ohio everythings so green. so green. unimaginably green and the towns are in the woods. the hills roll #and trees billow deciduous and packed so tightly the treeline is like a wall of plant matter. here there are trees but they are tall and #evergreen. patchy in places like shrubs in the desert. the grass grows green but also pale tan and dead. houses are routed in valleys #between mountains. they're made of wood and not stucco but they still look strange and the landscape is crumpled together tall. and there's #water. it rains. days can be dreary and gray with drizzle. i forgot what thats like. when a single low stratus cloud blocks out thewhole sk #and fog clings to the trees. my school bus used to drive by a lake where thr fog was so thick i didnt kno how the driver could see the road #but somehow i forgot how much joy suspended water vapor gives me living in a place where when it rains it pours so hard the streets flood #and the greedy ground drinks the landscape dry. but there are new things as well. here smoke rolls up over thr mountains and gets stuck in #the valleys so that the weather forcast reads: Smoke for days on end. im used to tornado warnings and heat warnings and dust storm warnings #but ive never expected Smoke as a type of weather. and im sure there's more to experience. ive only been here like 3 weeks. its not as gree #as home. the storms dont seem to get quite so violent. the woods are so full of bears that its an active threat. but its not the desert #and while ill miss the shapes of desert plants and little lizards. when i look up at the pine and spruce trees i feel like i can breathe a #little easier. well see how i feel once the long cold winter sets in haha #but i dunno. part of me still longs for a violent thunderstorm. one where u can feel the temperature drop and u csn feel it building all da #one that bends the trees and smells like ozone. it was never like that in thr southwest and im not sure that happens here #but maybe thats just a desire for chaos and violence as a product of my pathological internal control. i cant be spontaneous so let nature #bring the fear to me. some of my favorite memories are watching lightning strikes #so it goes i suppose #unrelated #listen. is it fucked up to have ohio nostalgia? maybe so. but in my defense i grew up in the pretty part of ohio lol

Seeing as how it’s still July 4th in much of the western hemisphere, Happy Independence Day to those of my followers who live in the States!  And happy...uh...bald eagle drawing to everybody else...?

#the world isn't in your books and maps #my trash #/end classification tags #the fun thing is that i'm queueing this ahead of time and will be camping when it goes up #so there's a chance i might actually be seeing a bald eagle in the wild as you all are seeing this #which is kinda cool #next up: seeing a hobbit on the day i post a drawing of a hobbit #or even better posting a picture of a hobbit on hobbit day and then seeing a hobbit on that same hobbit day #what do you guys think are the chances of that happening? #i'm going to say about 1% because you never know #i actually remember the first time i saw a bald eagle in the wild and i was like ''???!!'' #for some reason i didn't realize they had such a large habitable territory and this one was just chilling #i thought i was seeing things #in all the photos you see they're soaring above majestic mountains and evergreen forests #and this one was just gliding along over a highway in the middle of a swamp #it wasn't quite the picturesque setting i would have expected to see one in #but it was still really striking because their white feathers are SO WHITE

I think Leo Bardonaro is an anesthesiologist.

One, because an anesthesiologist's job is to take the 10 or 15 minutes max they have with a patient and essentially convince them to put their entire life in their hands. Other doctors and surgeons typically get a significantly longer chunk of time to interact with the patient and answer their questions, but at the end of the day, it is the anesthesiologist who will be keeping the patient alive, stable, and safe while the procedure is going on. For better or worse, Leo has the kind of relaxed, companionable personality that would not only be able to leave a patient laughing, but also to feel entirely at ease—he's confident, he's collected, and if he's not worried about this, why should they be?

Two, because I think he would've had way too much fun making jokes about laughing gas.

#and also because i mourn how anesthesiologists got phased out pretty quickly which is not realistic at all #maybe we can bend reality and say nurses got sent there as anesthetists #but also it was nice when they recognized that anesthesia is its own specialty just like thoracic or orthopedic #no one asked about this and i've mused on it in discord servers but i'm putting it here in his tag on my blog so i can remember it #my best and most sadistic trickster friend #my son who taught bj everything he knows about being a silly tricksy menace #leo bardonaro #mashposting #mashblogging #m*a*s*h #some things are evergreen

i love writing, would love to do it someday!

#honestly not gonna go on hiatus but like #consider this a personal blog rn #i don't plan to be writing rp atm #if i get the urge i'm writing fic #i have the co-authored p.eg and bj some things are evergreen flashback piece #but also my t.hree h.ouses regency/a c.ourt of f.ey and f.lowers au #and my h.uleth fic where our boy lets himself get after care after torturing a slitherie #i have others like the s.ylthea 'times s.ylvain proposed until d.orothea finally said yes 10+ proposals in' #or 'h.ubert 'scared of heights' v.on v.estra goes on a flight with his dark flier wife b.yleth' #not to mention the self indulgent stae smut i've considered #so like. i'll be here but idk if i'll be writing here #( ooc ; christina rambles )

[quetzalpapalotl]

I think I should start tagging for continuity

#i don't do it bc some things are just generic evergreen and it's hard to tell apart some times #but i do love having things properly archived #and my followers could filter any continuity they don't like

PLEASE, DC…I AM BEGGING YOU…

YOU DON’T NEED TO HAVE AN EVIL VOLCANO TO HAVE HIGH STAKES STORIES.

OR 500 EVIL BATMANS…BATMAN BUT WHAT IF HE WAS MATTER EATER LAD AND EVIL NOW OR WHATEVER THE FUCK.

PLEASE TRUST THAT THE CHARACTERS YOU’VE CREATED CAN CARRY STORIES.

THE CHARACTERS ARE WHY PEOPLE KEEP COMING BACK.

“STAKES” ARE RELATIVE AND WHAT ARE USUALLY CONSIDERED “SMALL” STAKES CAN BE HIGH WITHIN THE EMOTIONAL PARAMETERS OF THE STORY.

#as you can probably figure out…I am not super enthused about the Lazarus volcano. #SIGH. #Lazaruscano is the Sharknado of story concepts. #dc comics #i am so tired. #nature documentaries have some of the most heart pounding moments in media and it’s like… #what if this stick bug dies? he’s not even like the last stick bug. #the stick bug is just a stick bug. #the stakes are so low but they couldn’t be higher because you get emotionally invested in this goddamn stick bug. #it’s all about the framing! #people remember one off stories from goddamn *decades* ago because of the EMOTIONAL RESONANCE of them! #no evil volcanos necessary! #complaining about comics that haven’t come out yet like a true fan! #lol evergreen tag #maybe the Lazaruscano storyline will be good idk. #hopefully! #i would prefer to be wrong about these things.

he's a serial killer. he knows all the words to let it go but will only sing it in the shower. he's shy. he's ruthless. he'd be a war criminal if his country had those. he's slow to trust. he's ride or die. he's a huge nerd. he has a collection of hyperspecific t-shirts that are only funny if you're in on the joke. he loves the stars. he once buried a childhood friend alive in the woods because they betrayed him. he set himself on fire to get back at someone. he's a computer developer. he's a wizard. his favourite band is florence + the machine. he used to name spiders after lord of the ring characters when he was a child. he sent three kids to the hospital when he was 8 and doesn't regret it.

#alex evergreen #wanders ocs #my stuff #I think the contrast between how normal some of the things he does are and how unhinged other things he does are #story stuff #I think characters who do terrible things should also have things about them that are disarmingly normal

When talking about the distinction between Simon Petrikov and the Ice King,  it’s important to remember that originally, the Crown wasn’t trying to turn Simon into Ice King -

It was trying to turn him into this guy.

At the time, the Ice Crown - or rather the Wishing Crown - was programmed with Gunther’s wish to become Evergreen. So everything related to making the current wearer like Evergreen is a very direct result of the Crown’s Magic. The physical changes -

And the obsession with the name ‘Gunther’ -

And maybe some of the irritability and anger issues -

That is something the Crown is very directly forcing unto its current wielder. 

But everything else?

Ice King, personality-wise, was not much like Evergreen at all, or even like Gunther's view of him. And Ice Finn of the Farmworld Universe was also pretty different from the both of them.

At the time, I remember people assumed Ice Finn’s behavior is more indicative of what the Crown is actually trying to do with its wielders. That Ice King is so different because of Simon’s subconscious resistance against the Crown - while Finn’s much younger and dumber brain is a lot susceptible to the Curse’s influence to become some sort of mad world-conquering emperor of ice and snow. 

But, with the context of the Crown’s actual backstory. That doesn’t seem very likely anymore. I think what’s actually happening there is that the Crown is just trying to make its wielder an Ice Wizard on par with Evergreen (who was the Actual Goddam Ice Elemental) and that means pumping the wielder’s brain so full of Magic, Madness and Sadness to a level that is bound to overwhelm anyone.

And Simon’s and Farmworld Finn’s very different behaviors after putting on the crown is indicative, more than anything, of how their psyche reacts to Madness and Sadness in general. You know, Finn has a very proactive and kinda aggressive personality - and you add Crown-induced-Madness-and-Sadness and a compulsion to use Ice Magic as much as possible and you get all of…. this 

Meanwhile, for Simon, the compulsions of the Crown originally filtered exclusively via the language of protection 

As his madness always manifested as romantic obsession 

And using goofy humor to try and deny the pain he’s going through 

Because that’s how Simon’s mind specifically reacts to being flooded with so much Madness and Sadness.

That’s why there’s so many parallels between Ice King and the sort of mistakes and screwed-up stuff Simon does right now! He’s even kidnapping people again!

Because the Madness and Sadness of Ice King might’ve been induced by the Crown, but now Simon has plenty of personal home-grown Madness and Sadness inside him - and it’s no surprise that Curse-Induced or not, his mind reacts to it in a sorta-similar way. (Although obviously not as intensely, again, there was a LOT of MMS in the Ice Crown).

Now as for Ice Thing, and the fact that he seems to be actually rather well-adjusted under effects of his version of the Wishing Crown. I mean... not by the time of the 1000+ Era, but that’s literally eons in the future and also maybe more Gibbon’s fault. Even if the Crown will eventually take some sort of toll on him, for now he seems to be doing pretty well considering his wish. I mean, there's still some sort of Loss of Identity stuff going on

But everything we've seen of Ice Thing (in the present day, at least) shows him as a friendly and cheerful individual that gets along well with others. A far cry from how maladjusted every single wielder of the Ice Crown acted.

At the very least, if there's any notable amount of Sadness in him, we really haven't seen it yet.

There might be several factors here:

First things first, I should acknowledge the possibility that it’s just that Orgalorg’s eldritch brain is better at intaking all that MMS juice. That could play a part, but I think it’s probably more important, at least thematically, to look at the distinction between ‘I wish to be Evergreen’ and ‘I wish to be Ice King’. 

First in the sense that while Ice King was occasionally mean to Gunter at times - he was generally much kinder than Evergreen ever was for ‘his’ Gunther. So, like, pretty much the one Personality Flaw of Ice King that you can directly link to the Ice Crown’s attempt to mimic Evergreen is the occasional anger issues.

And how they relate to Gunther’s view of Evergreen, so grumpy and controlling and constantly saying ‘NO!’

(Both Finn and Simon’s demonstrable not-crown-induced trauma responses can make them pretty short-tempered as well. So I’m not going to say this is purely the effects of the Crown. It still probably plays some sort of factor at why the wielder of the Ice Crown is Like That).

And that is not a factor in how Gunter views Ice King. For him, Ice King was a doting and loving father figure - so if the Crown was ever trying to implement any sort of specific negative personality traits, this is absolutely no longer a factor. Because the original Ice Crown was a reflection of Evergreen’s abuse, and now Ice Thing is a reflection of Ice King’s fatherly love.

Which is, itself, probably an echo or remnant of Simon’s own strong parental instincts. 

Secondly, while the Crown was trying to make the Ice King just as powerful as Evergreen…. Ice King was obviously not as powerful as Evergreen. Because he was already a second-rate copy of the Ice Elemental’s power, and because Ice King was often just too doofy to use his powers correctly and probably because some remnant of Simon’s original sensible self is subconsciously holding his powers back.

Either way, being ‘like Ice King’ as Gunter sees him requires less Magic than being ‘like Evergreen’ as Gunther saw him - and therefore less Madness and Sadness. Leading to the wearer or, um, the eater being a lot more well-adjusted from the get-go.

And I think that the implication that Ice Thing has fused with the Crown, so there's never going to be another poor sap who puts on the Crown and gets Ice King'd. But if there is one somehow... at least the process is going to be less mentally detrimental that time around?

Maybe one day Simon could look back and appreciate how much he (or Ice King, or both of them, or however you want to look at the situation) is responsible for basically neutralizing the Crown that ruined his life in the first place.
