Bob headcannon, taking care of them when theyr injured or sick

Hi Nonny!! This is a super fun idea and so I hope you enjoy :) reminder that my requests are open and I don’t mind spam, so feel free to keep sending stuff in! Cut for length, more under the cut:

Dick Winters:

-he’s very inconvenienced by the shrapnel that ends up in his foot….so don’t coddle him haha. -But with gentle care and a warning to stay off of his foot will have his respect and gratitude. -If he’s sick, he tends to try to do things still. He doesn’t like to rest if no one else gets to either. That being said, you may need to put your foot down. -He really does appreciate your care and help…he just likes to do things on his own. -Take a nap with him, it will work wonders, I promise.

Lewis Nixon:

-It’s when his helmet gets hit with a bullet….and whenever he’s blackout drunk. -Just wants to move on from the bullet thing and will sassily answer your concussion questions. -He’s a clingy sick person and a clingy drunk, so you have your work cut out for you no matter what. -Honestly wants to be coddled when he’s drunk or sick. -Treat him as you would a small child and you should be all set lol.

Ronald Speirs:

-This man thinks that he doesn’t need anyone and that he doesn’t need help. Right up until he gets shot in the ass going across a river and needs medical attention. -He’s very nonchalant about the entire thing and is not about to let you know how much it actually hurts. -Secretly really appreciates being doted on when he’s sick though and will let you know through his actions. -Is also willing to be verbally grateful and express gratitude for everything that you do for him

-Expect him to be on the lookout for if you're ever sick bc he wants to return the favor.

Buck Compton:

-Yet another man who got shot in the ass and is NOT having a great time....that being said, he's a blushing mess and doesn't want you to work on him at all

-He'll have to swallow his pride and be humble about you taking care of the wound and helping him

-Distract him with all sorts of conversational topics and he should be fine

-Is better behaved when he's sick and also just wants to cuddle with you

-A little emotional when he's sick as well, so be on the lookout for that

Carwood Lipton:

-Resists the fact that he needs medical attention after getting hit with shrapnel and nearly losing a certain appendage

-Is a stubborn mule about not needing help up until he trips and nearly falls on his face

-Will be extremely quiet and take medical orders though

-And when he's sick with pneumonia? Same thing, except now he's really cold and wants to cuddle with you

-Treat him like an adult when he's sick, but also be a little more caring than normal—brushing through his hair and rubbing his back will go a long ways

Joe Liebgott:

-Literally doesn't think he needs any help??? But he's got several injuries and gets annoyed fairly often

-Will feel bad if he snaps at you while you're trying to help him

-At that point, he'll shut up and begrudgingly let you take care of him. Expect a kiss at the end for your efforts

-Also a clingy sick person, but way more flirtatious than normal—he wants you in his bed asap with as many innuendos as possible

-Pray for patience babe, you're gonna need it

Donald Malarkey:

-Honestly, the easiest patient in the world? He shuts right up (unless he has questions about what you're doing/medical practices), takes orders, and obeys them.

-He's a gem of a patient if he gets injured and super calm throughout the entire thing

-Malarkey is very kind and sweet afterwards and expresses how much he appreciates you and your kindness

-Also a great patient if he's sick. He'd prefer it if you kept your distance from him though since he doesn't want you to get sick

-I promise he'll appreciate the extra blanket and some soothing tea though.

Eugene Roe:

-Literally the epitome of a hypocrite?? Because he thinks he doesn't need to slow down and get help for himself?? (Smh honestly)

-Please just force this man to stay off of his feet and rest so he can recover from his wounds

-If you express your worry about him in near tears, I guarantee he'll listen to you immediately

-Also a really great patient if he's sick—that is, if you can get him to sit down and stop working.

-Bribe him with some old family recipes for soup or cold remedies and he'll be the best patient ever. He also wants you to teach him how to make those things haha.

Bill Guarnere:

-Also gets really annoyed anytime he's injured?? But never acts annoyed when he's with you. He knows that you're just trying to do your job.

-And considering the fact that he ditches the aid stations and hospitals frequently, he pays close attention to your instructions when it comes to injuries

-Respects the hell out of you for your work—and this only grows after Bastogne and saving his life

-He's a grumpy sick person who acts like a cat who doesn't want to be petted

-Good luck babe, you're gonna need it for when he's sick

Joe Toye:

-Thinks he can power through the injury or sickness for a while....and almost succeeds.

-He's not afraid to ask questions about what he can do to make the situation better and he does his best to listen to your advice

-His mood will improve if you kiss it better, I promise

-And if he's ever sick? The man literally just wants a cuddle and some words of reassurance and he'll be good as new

-He's a great patient unless he lets the injury get bad and doesn't come talk to you about it sooner

George Luz:

-Literally makes jokes through whatever injury or sickness he's dealing with

-SMH, sir please take this seriously—that being said, you may need to kindly tell him to shut up so that you can do your job

-Also respects the hell out of you for the work that you do and listens really well when it comes to injury care.

-Is honestly a little kid when he gets sick??? He just wants to lay in bed, be told stories, and have a great time

-Tell him the story of your love story (your version of course), and he'll be content as a kitten to lay there and rest and just listen to you

Guide for the recent BoB fandom information explosion

Essentially, the US Army and Heritage Education Center possesses a vast collection of materials related to Dick Winters, which served as the original source for writing the book Band of Brothers and for the production of the TV series. This includes a huge amount of photocopies of Winters' personal papers and personnel documents; photocopies of correspondence, memoirs, news clippings, oral history transcripts, and photographs from the men in Easy Company.

There are a total of 20 boxes, containing 100+ PDF documents that can be read online, involving most of the E Company soldiers whose names we can recognize.

These materials may have been on the internet for many years, but no one paid attention until very recently.

Here are some notable files among these materials: The complete catalog of the Dick Winters collection

intense meta acting boot camp was actually the best decision they made for filming band of brothers because those actors truly Truly embodied the characters so much so that they physically look different from any other character they play like if i look at any picture of donnie wahlberg anytime in his career i am filled with apathy and disdain EXCEPT for when he is on screen as carwood lipton. you ask me whos my special man that i wish was my mom and i point at his potato ass head, you say "that's donnie wahlberg" and i say no that's band of brothers real life character carwood lipton and you say "bro that's donnie wahlberg he's in blue bloods" and i say no no no thats lip that's my mom and he's having speirs' baby and you say "what" and i point at real life character ron speirs and you say "is that matthew settle? from gossip girl?" but im not even listening anymore because i can't acknowledge these actors existing in anything outside of the 2001 masterpiece band of brothers and then you say "arent these real life people? dont you think youve crossed a line in how you interact with the fictional portrayal of these real people who felt vulnerable and embarrassed about the most traumatic part of their lives being made into a ten part television series?" and i say yeah that's all true, a character is bordered by an outline of historical fact that influences the way a writer or researcher who never met the man can perceive them and then mold personality traits to fit into something palatable for a story that can only try to achieve the truth because all media is art at its core. maybe the real men felt a mixture of relief and disappointment that their lives and stories were not accurately shared, and that's why there's about fifty books about them, but really the reason why there's so many people who are willing to read those books, who want to know more about these men's lives, is because the series showed us a snapshot of ordinary lives being celebrated, and those ordinary lives were crafted, honed, and acted so well because those actors did the most work they could to make each character feel alive and special. even if they weren't accurately portraying the real men, i continue, they are nonetheless influenced by them, literally taking their direction in how to behave and the final product of the show lives on as its own entity, separated from the real people, yet connected by a moment that happened eighty years ago. you nod a bit, "and that's why you're okay writing donnie wahlberg mpreg now?" and for the last fucking time its not donnie wahlberg anymore dale dye beat that name out of him for the entire duration of filming it's LIPTON

Anyhow, Ron, that was a totally normal thing to say in a letter to Lipton decades later and it sounded like you read it while on your bed kicking your legs and gushing.
