If I had a penny for every time Hawkeye joked about himself getting pregnant I would have at least a nickel, which isn’t much, but it’s more than nothing… all that to say, I think this exact conversation absolutely took place

Okay I was watching some scenes in 7x02 (the peace talks episode) again, and this little interaction while Hawkeye is talking to BJ just slays me:

The fact that a) it has nothing to do with what they're talking about, Hawkeye just decides to do that, and b) Charles doesn't react AT ALL. 🤣 

He just calmly stops working on his letter (or whatever it is) and waits it out and then resumes once the jacket is removed from his face.

Also relevant:

  • Charles does not actually have to be where he is. He'd be way less likely to be bothered (although not entirely safe from being bothered) if he was over on his side, but no, he's opted to write his letter in their sort of "common area" middle of the tent.
  • Hawkeye isn't even interacting with him at the moment, he's just talking to BJ about army uniforms. But the urge to incorporate Charles into the conversation (and mess with him at the same time) is too strong.

The thing that I think is most important about Klinger as a character is that he's deeply kind. He couldn't get a section eight because he wasn't willing to commit to making himself a danger to others. His dramatic wardrobe and escape acts never impacted anybody else (other than giving Henry and Potter some extra paperwork on occasion), and he's still a first rate soldier when they need him. He's always in the thick of things carrying litters or donating blood or delivering x-rays. The example I always remember is when he pretended to think he was in Toledo. He wore civilian clothes and talked to Potter as if he were a traffic cop, but he was still doing his job correctly and efficiently. His behavior is a protest more than anything else. It's a statement that he may be acting like a soldier to save lives, but they'll never make him think like a solider; he will do his part to lessen the suffering but he cannot support the war itself.

There's an episode with a guy who actually gets a section eight, and he's so clearly contrasted with Klinger because the other guy isn't just talking to his socks, he's firing into the minefield. Klinger tells Sidney that he hates the war so much because of the death, that he can't stand being a part of all that killing. If he just wanted to go home then he could do it, but that wouldn't actually help anybody. He's a lot like Hawkeye in that way. Sticking around and making it clear how much they hate it while working every day to save lives is the best way to fight "the war against the war" as Hawkeye calls it.

On a less serious note, Klinger is also just a really nice guy. He's even friendly to Frank, who only ever has awful things to say to him. He's surrounded by hate and violence, he's constantly overworked; and yet he shows up, goes above and beyond in his duties as a corpsman and clerk, is genuinely kind to everybody he meets, then spends his free time sewing elaborate outfits and constructing getaway schemes. That's just plain incredible. He never lets his hatred for the war turn him hateful, and instead he makes an effort to brighten up the 4077th with his wackiness.

Communication

As far as I know, Korean churches only started implementing these red neon crosses in the 1960s, so they wouldn’t have existed during the Korean War, but what’s historical accuracy to a visually bold idea? The crosses are supposed to act as a beacon so people can see the church for miles and know that they’re welcome, but a lot of people find them to be a nuisance, and they contribute a lot to light pollution. I had that idea in my head while drawing this. I could say a lot about this drawing but I shan’t because I want everyone to have their own idea about it <3 Please tell me what you think !!

Drawing this ambulance nearly killed me and you can barely see the details anymore 😭 You can tell in the closeups that the quality is a little low, that’s because I had to compress it a lot so nightshade wouldn’t explode my computer. All in all it’s not that bad. A textured brush hides a multitude of sins.

This is available from my inprnt for anyone who wants it!
