I can post anything here and y'all will eat it up
you can't say that and then post the most metal image of a cow I've ever seen
Anyway if you see this you have to reblog and tag with a delight from ur day -- even the littlest thing counts
Marty "Anti-Oedipus" McFly, saving his father from being run down in the road and strenuously avoiding romance with his mother.
luredin asked:
Mash She Wrote??
genderqueer-klinger answered:
Crabapple Cove and Cabot Cove are neighbouring towns. Hawkeye Pierce and Jessica Fletcher vaguely know each other growing up and he encountered Frank Fletcher in the war (the better of the two Franks he knew there).
Decades later, the now widowed Jessica becomes a crime novelist after a career as a teacher, and she and Hawkeye become close friends when he helps her with some medical details in one of her novels.
Years later, Hawkeye is at a medical conference when someone gets murdered and the prime suspect is one of his friends! (I am thinking BJ but I am open to other suggestions). The only person who can help Hawkeye prove his friend’s innocence now is Jessica Fletcher.
Bonus: the implication that if Mash and Murder She Wrote are set in the universe, so are Magnum PI and, technically, Quantum Leap.
I think one of my favorite things about Murder, She Wrote is that there is not a soul in that universe who doesn't know who J.B. Fletcher is.
She has adoring fans everywhere she goes! And even the most hardboiled detectives and politicians melt after getting a blast of that sweet Cabot Cove charm.
I just love this show so much.
Delighted to have found this alignment chart I made one year ago today. I stand by my choices.
after watching an episode of murder, she wrote where jessica fletcher identified a murderer by the 'very distinctive' sound of his keychain jangling, i now have the unshakeable headcanon that eliot spencer is one of her many nephews
my favorite calvin and hobbes comic is the one where his dad just rolls up and casually destroys his entire night by pointing out some neat trivia about record players
#his expression in the last panel is black comic gold #the best part is that his dad was trying to be nice
are you sure. are you sure calvin’s dad is not a seasoned elder trickster. are you sure this isn’t the exact outcome he was hoping for
ok but that’s actually canon
You forgot this one
*looks pointedly at ETD*
Calvin’s dad is basically a Calvin who has learned that he can’t get away with running outside naked or throwing snowballs at neighborhood girls, but he is still precisely the same little shit under the thin veneer of civilization.
@lyricwritesprose Calvin and Hobbes has been one of my favorite things since I could read and Calvin’s dad one of my favorite characters, but that last comment blew my mind wide open. Of course that’s what he is. Of course.
one of the most subtly delightful things about calvin and hobbes is that you can SEE that calvin is his parents’ kid: his dad is so playful and imaginative, and his mom has a heck of a temper and a good sense of what’s right and wrong. calvin is a smart, passionate, imaginative kid who gets really upset when he thinks things are stupid or unfair. he drives his parents crazy sometimes because he’s a kid. but they were probably a lot like calvin themselves, when they were little.
My favorite goddamn comic
Also didn’t Calvin make a comment once that apparently his grandma said his mother was just as much of a troublemaker as he is
My lifelong love of Calvin and Hobbes has facets that I am only discovering as a diagnosed adult.
how am i doing? oh I’m fine except i’m in a constant state of nostalgia and sentimentality over everyone I’ve ever loved and every age I’ve ever been and every phase of my life and every job I’ve worked and I’m constantly missing people and places that I can never go back to but it’s cool it’s fine
