This one is very experimental and hasty 😼 but errh, I’m sure Alaska didn’t always have his hat, so I’m weighing when in time I’d imagine he’d first get it or something similar to it. This was him during maybe either Department or District of Alaska era in my head 🤔 nothing just works out for him, life bad and been bad so he’s just gonna accept wasting away 😔 (he did not have his adorable son boy pups in his life yet) (or really anything) (got in a lot of fights because ain’t no Outsiders were good to him for a long long time so he’s just agitated about everything)
Yes, I am very interested about looking into post Russian but pre statehood Alaskan history and stuff! It’s why I was looking into Skagway and all that, so expect me to be doing some more of that stuff hopefully 😌 also because many folks seems to focus solely on Alaska’s Russian colonization era as if it were all Alaska ever dealt with, so I feel shading about it can help folks develop his character better. Alaska propaganda my love

I actually really love that Hawkeye seems to consider 'Hawkeye' his Real Name, much moreso than Ben or Benjamin, and to a much stricter extent than any other nicknames we see, like Trapper, or even Radar, who seems overjoyed when football player Billy refers to him as Walter. I get the impression that Trapper thinks of himself as John, Klinger thinks of himself as Max, Radar thinks of himself as Walter even if he's resigned to only being known by a different name, etc, but Hawkeye thinks of himself as Hawkeye.
People, including Hawkeye, pretty much only ever refer to him as Ben or Benjamin in legal contexts, when yelling at him, when using his full name to make a joke, or to demonstrate their obnoxiousness (eg the Stars and Stripes guy in Depressing News). Even Daniel's use of "Ben" in The Party was in a mildly chastising context. tbf an aunt uses it in a letter too once, neutrally, but that's just how extended family is in my experience lol. He introduces himself as Hawkeye, corrects people when they use his legal name, and his childhood friends, his uni friends, and his ex girlfriend from his residency years all refer to him as Hawkeye.
Idk why I love it really lol, but it's a detail that I just dig. The sense of individualism, maybe? Hawkeye doesn't care for his stupid president name so he latches onto one that does have meaning for him and makes it his real name as far as anyone except paperwork filers are concerned? I do admire that vibe. Or maybe it's just that I can get attached to the names for characters we're given in canon and dislike when other names are used for them, at least in the wrong context (eg Starsky and Hutch referring to each other by first name after they fuck despite having already been about as emotionally intimate as possible) and I find it validating that Hawkeye also seems to dislike his alternate name and never uses it lol.

For all the people who have spoken out for that Nickelodeon documentary there are a LOT of big name celebrities who were kids in that era with those men who have not spoken out and honestly? Outside of drake bell I think they hold the worst of the stories. The way they don’t want to associate with it at all feels very telling to me in a dark, sad way and I don’t think those stories will ever be told I don’t think we’ll ever know the true extent of what was going on back then

so did anyone else realize that the term Sludgepuppy most likely wasn’t initially meant to be derogatory and was only retconned in order for the scene where Ben is told the term he’s using is an offensive slur, immediately stops using it, and apologizes to the guy committing identity theft could work and serve as an example of what you should do in a situation that like that or
