#Command To Charge

family tea party.

(in my mind, Radagon is the pure Order with no kindness half, and he always yearns to converge with Marika + be on equal footing with her, so in my drawing he’ll always be kinda nuts)

Radar really is in such an interesting position relative to the 4077. The rest of them are doctors. Hawkeye frequently bemoans his role as "weapons repair" and is clearly uncomfortable with fixing people up so they can go back and get shot, but he's still fundamentally only engaging with the war as a healer. When he's off duty (and even while he's working), Hawkeye is able to focus his energy on "the war against the war" by throwing parties and pulling pranks. He takes every opportunity to show his disrespect for the whole military machine, and only plays by their rules when it goes along with his moral imperative to heal the dying.

Radar, on the other hand, is the motor that keeps MASH running. He helps Hawkeye and the others with their schemes, but he also has to be the one to deal with the fallout. When Hawkeye gets his shift as "Commander Pierce," Radar is the one frantically trying to get him to actually fill out the required paperwork, because Hawkeye's "this is dumb and I won't engage with it" attitude to the army doesn't work for someone in an organizational position. The rest of them turn up their noses at army bureaucracy, but Radar is the one to understand how it all works and get them what they want despite the layers of red tape. He has to be the guy delivering bad news and sneaking around to steal people's stoves, and he isn't choosing to do it but it still has to get done. He's the one who announces incoming choppers, meaning that he basically always has to be the person to spoil everyone else's day. Fun's over, Radar's here. His name is literally a direct symbol of his role as a harbinger. He isn't the one responsible though. If he wasn't there to sound the alarm, there'd be just as many wounded and even less time to prepare.

He's got a bit of separation between himself and the casualties (unlike the doctors who are literally digging around in blood and guts for twelve hours at a time), but his position as company clerk means that he's also unable to truly clock out. Radar literally sleeps in his office, because it's his entire life. He's always going to be the guy with a foot in reality who tempers the officers' wackiness. Even when he got offered a ticket home, his first instinct was to turn it down because he didn't think that the 4077th could function without him.

This is significant to me because of how it reflects on the characters role in the war overall. Hawkeye is able to act like he's separate from the military, but he's sometimes forced to reckon with the fact that he's a cog in the machine like everyone else. Radar is often forced to serve as the hand of the army in the 4077th, but his job of keeping things running smoothly does just as much to save lives as any of the doctors. They're all soldiers who have to play by the army's rules to some extent if they want to keep anybody safe.

Another reason Kaladin's mental health was so good during WaT was because he finally wasn't the leader of the group project. He, Szeth, and Syl all had their individual projects they were working on together.

thinking of my “Fox doesn’t like caf so he drinks energy drinks” hc again and coming up with increasingly ridiculous things about it. he must have the worst heart burn & cavities known to man, if the clones weren’t genetically modified to have super strong teeth compared to an average human (because I don’t really see much dental stuff when it comes to canon?). he wakes up and chugs something called Fizzy Engine Blast before a shift and is able to start his speeder by looking at it. the Guard does have a Jedi, but Fox sets off Force-Geiger counters with his radioactive aura from the drinks, so that’s why we don’t see a Jedi around and leading them in canon. he grew a new clone out of his back after drinking his Killer Quasar Lemonade and just didn’t notice. there’s a small group chat dedicated to pictures the Guardsmen take of the weirdest / most concerning stuff he’s seen drinking, and currently, a plain glass of water is in the lead.

It's famous for its high level of intelligence, and the large size of its brain is proof that it also possesses immense psychic power.

A note on colours: in my experience, floss looks different irl than in online pattern makers. If you think a different colour will work better, go with your gut!

Tom Hulce as Quinn, in the ever so wholesome Shelley Duvall's Tall Tales & Legends "John Henry" (1986)

I waited a month to receive the dvd, just to enjoy this charming, precious GEM of a film in high quality! I am left speechless staring at all the beautiful details: That bright twinkle in his eyes, those kind smiles and sweet features under soft light, and him dancing around in pure euphoric bliss...! The joy, the energy! Oh I love him in this film so so much... my heart can't take it, I can't put this feeling into words. Once again reminded of just how easy it is to love him My god mygod this absolute treasure of a human being

I'm having Elissa brainworms about the blight in south during veilguard. Not sure if I'll get beyond dialogue, but it's too much for a banter post. Not sure how to handle this.
