MASH
I got utterly steamrolled by a cold this past week, and spent the time very usefully flat on my back watching several seasons of M*A*S*H. Technically rewatching, because I watched the whole show in syndication (probably multiple times per episode) when I was a teenager, but I haven't seen most of it in 30+ years.
I semi-liveblogged this to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

Me on Dec. 4:
It's turning out to be a pretty good accompaniment to the current fandom. It's not making me fannish-feeling by itself, but it's good background inspiration for h/c-on-a-mission type feels.
[...] I can tell you exactly the point when it MIGHT make me fannish, and that's when the sympathetic antagonist character shows up 😔

MASH update: I have skipped ahead to the episodes with the character I mentioned earlier 😔
Everything is fine
Further updates to come
Everything was not fine.
By Dec. 6, Sheron, being the good friend that she is, reminded me of the Stages of the Abyss:
Stage 0: This looks like my kind of show
Stage 1: This show is fun but not for me.
Stage 2: I have done nothing else in my free time but watch this show (and I don't want to write anything for it) <--- YOU ARE HERE
Stage 3: I may want to write something for it, but it's really just h/c and platonic hugging
Stage 4: ???? abyss.
Me:
I have only progressed as far as thinking about fic and reading h/c on AO3, thank u very much
Anyway I'm almost done with season seven, and I believe I've passed stage 3 and I'm into stage 4 because I'm absolutely lovingscioscribe's Hawkeye/Charles fic on Ao3.
(I am completely gone on Charles right now, or as this Tumblr post called him and I shall henceforth forever think of him, "fancy little swamp prince." No criticism will be taken at this time. I continue to think fondly ofrionaleonhart's immortal words about finding the worst character in the canon and making a beeline for them, although this is the SECOND worst, thank u very much, because Frank exists. Also David Ogden Stiers is a comic genius and I am very much not over the way his eyes sparkle when he's being smug.)

She's big into Hawkeye, I don't remember if she ships him.
