while i don't out and out dislike our man charles emerson winchester III i do often times find him hard to get on board with in a way that's different than enjoying the satirical intervention that is the walking disaster frank burns; while frank the character is politically almost brecht-adjacent in terms of how overtly he functions as a reflection of the political/critical intervention the show is aiming to make in the early years, charles's specific brand of racism/classism/general shitheadedness/etc. is almost more insidious in terms of the way mash as a show tries to generate sympathy for him and ends up normalizing/downplaying the bigotry in a way that feels reflective of the growing conservatism of the late seventies and is (seemingly) doubled down on with the election of reagan in the eighties; to be clear david ogden stiers is absolutely FANTASTIC and i don't think that every character has to be sympathetic to be interesting and/or worthy of analysis—as i type this up i'm currently rewatching "dr. winchester and mr. hyde," which i think is a fantastic and legitimately nuanced charles-centric episode—but the people who are like "charles is better than frank! he's less racist! etc. etc.!" and erase CEW3's negative/abrasive qualities for the sake of stanning and/or a ship are clearly not watching the same show that i am lmfao

btw if you're in the US - B&N apparently has 25% off pre-orders for the next two days which includes my new queer regency rom-com(ic). like the sale is for members, but membership is free.

Publishing is rough atm and pre-ordering is one of the best ways to help get books on lists & library and bookshop shelves. So if you're wanting to get a copy, this is a good way to do it that's also cheaper

thank you @thisisyourbrainoncomics in the tags for pointing out that the free membership is the 'REWARDS' one!!

also just received a Work Email suggestion (I'm ahead of the game, apparently) to post about this Properly on different social medias so I also made an actual graphic, here you go

I accidentally made myself kind of obsessed with the idea that 13 Does actually do Yaz’s hair when it’s in an ultra complicated style b/c, come on, knots and braids is something the doctor can absolutely do and they’d be hard for Yaz to do on her own, And it’d be the Most Awkward thing ever… Especially when they’re angry at each other and Yaz is asking stuff and 13′s half way through some ultra complicated braid compilation and her hands are kind of stuck to yaz’s hair and she can’t run off so is talking excitedly and very loudly about the pomegranate planet so she drowns Yaz out 

you don't deserve that blorbo if you have to skinnify them in fanart i'm sorry

there is an insane amount of antisemitism floating around right now.

i just want to say:

Please do donate to Sudan initiatives. The news we hear from Sudan is absolutely terrible. Even if you can't donate, share it anywhere you think might get people to donate. Share it on ig, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, whatever. Just please do share and if you can spare a few dollars once and a while....
