#Hang Tough

[lightthewaybackhome]

I'm getting close to owning and having read the majority of books published about Easy Company. So it gives me no end of delight to read a book about Winters that I haven't read yet.

Also, I found out today that DeEtta Almon and I share a birthday, which I count as a great honor.

Lucifer probably does his best to keep the House of Lamentation clutter-free, meaning no personal effects are allowed in the hallways or common areas. He has to be very strict about this. Showing any of his brothers even a little leniency will cause the house to soon be overrun with massive piles of their random possessions.

What if the one (1) exception is a picture? A picture hand-drawn by MC, of everybody standing together and smiling. It has been hung up in a spot that humans supposedly only use to display their most precious art: the refrigerator door.

10 April 1945 Dick wrote to DeEtta:

In his letter to DeEtta on the 16th September 1945 Dick apparently knew plenty about love, especially about being lovesick:

In his letters he wrote between April and Sept, Dick suddenly started talking a lot about Nix. At one point claiming how untrustworthy Nix is off duty. He also kept gently urging DeEtta to go find and marry someone.

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?

Can the child within my heart rise above?

Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?

Can I handle the seasons of my life

Every time I think about how much Hange changed, from being giddy and full of life and happiness in season 1 to being quite serious, sad and overwhelmed in season 4, my heart breaks a little bit more. 🥺

This part has provided and honestly confirmed an insight that's been implied occasionally, but never openly stated as much as this moment.

Arcanists are less durable.

It's mentioned a handful of times how it's important for combat between arcanists to be quick and efficient. While they can be physically strong even beyond human standards, their limits are far shorter in comparison. They're far more prone to taking physical and mental damage quicker with their quick healing/recovery to make up for it, but not change just how fragile they are.

This is very insightful too as to why arcanists would be more inclined to fight using arcanum instead of physically as much as possible. Their arcanum gives them an upper hand where their physical stamina is lacking.

When I was a kid (maybe like 6-12) i was very often """misgendered""" as a girl by doctors, cashiers and general adults. Once we had a picture day at school and had photo of me sent back with girly border cause photographers thought of me as a girl lol

I guess all the signs were there I just didn't know what transgender is cause nobody told me

And in conclusion: my man Kevin Owens is a good boy who has never done anything wrong*, your honor.

(*except betray Kofi. And he's sorry about that. ;P)

Hang Tough: The WWII Letters and Artifacts of Major Dick Winters by Erik Dorr My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book took me a bit to get into, but it was fascinating to read. I think the part that struck me the most was how different Winter's tone in his letters was after Normandy. He was far more sarcastic almost scathing even. After a time, that evened out a bit. It was crazy the change you could see between before and after combat. I also appreciated how careful he was not to lead DeEtta on and to try and protect her feelings. I love all the advice he gave her and their teasing. It's always dangerous to see your hero's close up, but reading Winter's letters to DeEtta didn't make me lose my fondness for this man or my respect for him. It did make him seem more like a man and less up on the pedestal but in a good way. It reminded me that he loved being a paratrooper but had little respect for much of the rest of the military. He loved his men but held himself at a distance from them. He was proud of his actions in Holland. He was proud of being a Major. He always wanted to do right by his men. He was good friends with Nixon and Welsh, and thought highly of Talbert and Moose. This was an excellent addition to my books on Winters. I kinda want to read them in a semi-chronological order.
