Hey Vani! Thank you for your ask, lovely 💕

1- What is my fave part about being in the fandom?

What were you thinking? Dragging our asses half way around the world, interrupting our lives... For what, you ignorant, servile scum! What the fuck are we doing here?"

@footprintsinthesxnd - "Hey Frank, this guy is reading an article that says the Germans are bad."

@sweetxvanixlla - "Oh Lord, grant that I shall never seek so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, or to be loved as to love with all my heart."

Beethoven's a genius."......"You know a man in this company who wouldn't double-time Currahee with a full pack, just to piss in that man's morning coffee?"

@samwinchesterslostshoe - "June 6th... of last year?".... "D-Day, yes sir."..... "Haha, Alright, don't get hurt."

Zim zam, sister!! For the ask:

1, 22 and 27! Love you so much!!!

Zim Zam Pretz. Thank you for your ask 🩵

1. what is your fav part about being in the fandom?

I think my favourite part of this fandom has always been how supportive everyone is of each other. You’ve got people who have been creating for years supporting people just starting out and everyone in between and it’s so lovely. I also adore our discord group chat and everyone on it 🩵

22. what quotes from the show you would assign to your mutuals?

I’ve basically gone for quotes from whoever they are in the discord group 😂 but here are some of my favourite quotes from each of the characters.

@georgieluz - “Yeah, now that you mention it. Except, of course, there's no snow, we got warm grub in our bellies, and the trees aren't fucking exploding from Kraut artillery, but yeah... Frank... other than that, it's a lot like Bastogne.” Julian has the same sassy attitude as George 😂

@mads-weasley - “I don’t know whether to slap you, kiss you, or salute you.” Once again I know your not Bill in the group but this is how I feel after reading each new chapter of Epiphany 😂

@malarkgirlypop - I know your Malarkey in the group but after last night this quote is your quote now 😂 “Crazy Joe McKlosky was fucking nuts, Babe, that’s why they called him Crazy Joe.”

@sweetxvanixlla - “What a fucking character.”

@panzershrike-pretz - “How could anyone ever know of the price paid by soldiers in terror, agony and bloodshed if they’d never been to places like Normandy, Bastogne or Haguenau?”

@coco-bean-1218 - “I could have shot the kid a dozen times. I just didn’t think we could spare a man.”

@whollyjoly - “I'm guessing they were Hitler's photo albums, sir. Sure had a lot of pictures of him in it.” I love the little smirk he has when he realises he’s gotten away with it 😂

@ronsparky - “When you talk to an officer, you say Sir” this quote needs no explanation. Your love for Ron is beyond all else 😂

@samwinchesterslostshoe - “My God damn scissors.”

@next-autopsy - “Three day supply of K-rations, chocolate bars, Charms candy, powdered coffee, sugar, matches, compass, bayonet, entrenching tool, ammunition, gas mask, musette bag with ammo, my weapon, my .45, canteen, two cartons of smokes, Hawkins mine, two grenades, smoke grenade, Gammon grenade, TNT, THIS bullshit, and a pair of nasty skivvies!” My favourite Joe quote 😂

@holdingforgeneralhugs - "We're not lost, Private... we're in Normandy."

@xxluckystrike - "Hey, Sarge, ya think I overdid it on the cover for my foxhole?"

27. what's your fav moment during your time in the fandom?

I think my favourite moment was seeing the group chat come together and everyone making new friends and meeting each other. I feel like we’ve really formed a little family which is so lovely.

Band of Brothers Part 3- Carentan

If Private Hall got the best personal tour of Normandy with Dick Winters, Albert Blithe got the Tutorial episode with all of Easy Company. One, bless these guys for being nice to this weirdo and returning him home, and he gets the true main character experience with everyone! Gets a shout out from platoon leader Welsh for joining them, wikipedia read on Alpine flora and fauna from Nixon, healed by Jesus Winters, in on gossiping with the boys about Speirs lore, hanging out with resident ankle biter Martin in the mud, talkin game mindset like it's a Superbowl party with Welsh, walkies and legendary pep talk from Speirs, another round of encouragement from Winters like this is little Round Top 1863, then gets hit and everyone is pretty impacted by it? Like we just watched our stray get run over? :( And the boys actually recognized him in the hospital despite him being wrapped like a Mummy?

This was a hold my beer moment, everyone pitched in to give this guy a hell of an experience and he looked lost as hell through most of it and probably thinks it's a fever dream.

The thing is he looks like a zombie through all of it for a reason---because the 'only hope you have is to realize you're already dead' is because in BoB he is. Nevermind what happens to real Blithe, in BoB he's not going to make it long.

Easy Company is Albert Blithe's guide through the levels of hell.

He's also there to draw us in and feel like we, as viewers, would also be welcomed by this great group of guys. He's lost? No problem bud, come with us. Struggling with his job? Well, we're here for you man. Can't see? Winters will lay hands on you. Struggling with inner demons? Speirs literally just shot his own sergeant but he's going to share personal ideology with you! Welsh? He's taken, but you're in his platoon and you're going to come out of this okay....until you don't. But now he's probably traumatized over picking volunteers, which bodes well for his future career as a teacher. Even in the hospital, your sacrifice is acknowledged by your peers.

Who wouldn't want to walk beside these guys to find your way to the coldest part of Hell next to Satan's hairy legs (Bastogne)?

[fayestardust]

Top five favorite lines of dialogue in BoB? P.S. love all your thoughts and takes...they make me appreciate BoB and the Pacific that much more :)

In no particular order: "We're not lost, Private. We're in Normandy." -- "Nothing you won't eat, Malarkey!" "I won't eat Malarkey!"

--

"I don't know whether to kiss you, slap you or salute you!"

--

"Captain Sobel, we salute the rank, not the man."

--

"Oh Lord, grant that I shall never seek so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, or to be loved as to love with all my heart."

--

And a bonus one:

"Baaabe."

@sweetxvanixlla - we're not lost, private. We're in Normandy.

@luckynumber4 - I could use some brass knuckles.

@footprintsinthesxnd and @georgieluz - once we get into combat, the only person you can trust is yourself and the fella next to you.

@malarkgirlypop - I'm always fumbling with granades. It'd be easy if one of them wen't off by accident.

@whollyjoly - so who's in charge of this bullshit?

@xxluckystrike - This isn't dog company, this isn't fox company. This is Easy Company!

@coco-bean-1218 - hands, feet, neck and balls. Extra socks warm them all.

Hello

I’m you’re Secret Santa and I just have a few questions.

What is your favourite Band of Brothers episode?

What is your favourite/ or several of your favourite songs?

What is your favourite Band of Brothers quote?

Thank you in advance 😊💓

Hi my dear Secret Santa!!!

Thank you for reaching out!

My absolute favourite episode is The Breaking Point, but close seconds are Currahee, The Last Patrol and Bastogne.

My favourite songs are forever changing, but this the current playlist I usually listen to the most: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6KDX80E5KZM2kzliTMPKC6?si=b3bc85c1d6aa4509

Again I have quite a few answers for this too: "We're not lost, Private... we're in Normandy." and “Captain Sobel, we salute the rank, not the man” and "I don’t know whether to slap you, kiss you, or salute you." and "We're paratroopers, Lieutenant. We're supposed to be surrounded" and so many more, but these one-liners are my faves.

I can't wait what you will come up with! I am sure I will love it so much! 💚

[yourspeirs]

Band of Brothers as Coldplay lyrics because I love them both ๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑

[yessoupy]

JEEzus

I'd read about the gliders in the book and I'd like to know more, that seems like a terrible idea?? and those men were not volunteers!!! and didn't get hazard pay for a long time!!

"I don't think that's the correct reply, trooper. I say flash, you say thunder."

"well, if you were in my platoon I'd tell you you're a rifleman first, a radioman second."

"we're not lost, private. we're in Normandy."

[wexhappyxfew]

"we're not lost, private, we're in normandy." xoxo :)

AHHHHH I LOVE THIS QUOTE WITH ALL MY HEART 🥺🥺 thank u lovely for this adorable lil quote 💛

[panzershrike-pretz]

15, 16, 19, 21 please! 💕

Hellooooo Nex!

15. A character you started liking because of someone else?

That would actually be two! You made me start loving Liebgott A LOT and then came @malarkgirlypop and she just shoved Webster on my face and I obviously fell for my man. He's just as autistic and stupid as me, love him for that!

16. What do you love about the fanworks in the fandom?

The creativity! That always sticks out to me, like- every single fanfic, moodboard, gifset or literally whatever is so full of passion and creativity! It's insane!!

19. What's your favorite universally-accepted fanin headcanon about a character?

I really don't know if its universally acceoted, but Webster ir autistic. He just has all the traits and, well, I can't not see him as an autistic man.

21. What quote from the show you find yourself quoting all the time in rel life?

Huh, that's a hard one! I feel like "we're not lost, private, we're in Normandy". That's a good one to do voice stim's and I love it! :] also the word scissuhs
