love your neighbor or die alone asap honestly

the day we learned about mike “queerbait” farrell the day we learned that alan alda told mike farrell “wayne was a better kisser” the day we learned about mike farrell m*a*s*h’s bj being in a gay magazine what a life we’re living

the day we learned mike farrell said bj goes to maine 

everyone always says alan alda explain your acting choices but i think we need an explanation from wayne rogers as well. and you know what we need one from william christopher while we're at it

actually wait can we talk about that throwaway line in adam's ribs about how trapper has seen klinger's lingerie because what was that about

Klinger appreciation post: Klinger's pride in the way he dresses is what makes me so drawn to him, like Margret became a rounded character and so much more than just "hotlips" thanks to Loretta Swit and in much the same way Klinger became so much more than a cross dressing joke. He never even really feels like one because he's only ever defended in his clothing choice by the men this show wants us to look to- Hawkeye, Trapper, Beej, and Potter all defend and offer support to him many many times. The ones who chastise him are shut down immediately and seen scornfully such that it is always clear Klinger is not to be disrespected. Klinger never backs down, never flinches when he's put on the spot about it, he actually eats it up. We grow in love with this character through the lens of the show by first becoming accustomed and then fond of Klinger's deemed 'charade' and find him endearing in all aspects. Stubborn and passionate, we see it in his love for his clothes, the speciality dresses, the designer shoes and all the magazines/ catalogues he reads and orders from, how particular he is with his accessories and how he knows either the history of the piece or where and when it was made and with what kind of fabric. It is consistent throughout the show, even with other main cast character changes, that he is to be embraced and defended and loved and that's why as a non binary trans man, that show has done more smoothing to my soul than most any other media.
