from this post: do you have some hc's about some hbowar characters? can you tell me more about them?

Oh this is fun, I don't have a ton. But I will share what I have.

This is more general than character specific, but all the Easy Co boys share books they've got. If one person gets their hands on a book it's gonna make its way through the company.

Snafu is absolutely the kind of guy who doodles all the time and often in the worst places. oh that was important? well now it's got silly little drawings in the margins.

Burgie has 100% scruffed Snafu like a cat

Chuckler is the kind of guy who will reign himself in until he's close friends with someone but the second they're close he's constantly all over them. he's resting his arms on shoulders, he'll take a nap on them, he's sharing his clothes. Anything to show that his friend and to just be near them in general bc he's a touchy feely guy

Hoosier can in fact nap standing up, something that horrifies the other guys in H Company bc it's bad enough when he gets horizontal but now he can do it standing up?? he just doesn't let himself do it often bc there's a war on after all

Liebgott not only loves comics but he actually wanted to illustrate them as a kid, he just was never quite good enough to think it viable and now it's just a rare hobby

Curt is in fact Bucky's big spoon, he's just also little spoon to Buck

Cosby and Bubbles don't have to speak in full sentences, they know each other too well.

they also have a running joke about Bubbles running off with Jean (which Croz is not actually opposed to as long as he's being run off with as well) and Crosby would actually prefer if he didn't make it home that Bubbles did and he and Jean got to be happy together because he loves them both so much he just wants them happy

Demarco brushed out Meatball ONE time in the barracks before being banned from ever doing that inside again and now he has to find a spot downwind from any planes being worked on to avoid getting the fur anywhere it shouldn't be

Thinking about how hilarious it would be (plot-wise) for things to be reversed in mota, say, women are the ones that go off to war instead of the men. I can picture Croz being a donut dollie but what do you think the others would be? 😂🤭

Steph this is so genius and comical and I’m not intelligent enough to do more than wheeze at the possibilities yet. Like this is trash but here’s initial thots:

I can so easily imagine Croz being the most earnest Donut Dollie ever, everyone gets a proper good-luck send off and the best pastry ever made, there’s a painful chronicle behind those eyes of each face that didn’t return, the smile lines don’t lessen but the eyes get sadder as the months pass, but still, Croz remains just as committed as day one and can summon up a dance and a prayer at whim.

Miss Egan? This one’s a WASP, probably one of the ones who almost got sent from Halifax to Britain before that mission got scrubbed due to “putting women in combat zones” -and Miss Egan was pissed as hell, probably maybe even tried to take off anyway. A trailblazer, her over-officer’s chief nightmare and the trailblazing champion of the girls around her. If things were truly so bent that it was the girls freely going off without any hold backs?! -this one suits the fighter pilot mentality tbh

Gale? Gosh I don’t know, such capability, a demeanor that would get her far into promotions but a simmering itch to never be so elevated as to be out of the action? -I honestly am too torn to label right now.

Brady? She likes her locations to be accurate, ok? She’s probably in navigation and the steadiest and most impressive Secretary you could hope for

Rofl Rosie calls Croz “Captain Marvel” in episode 8 I’m dying 😂 Yall know these guys were comic book boys all the way

[satyraspenser]

If you’re bored, read a book! Even a comic book. Croz approves. :)

Tess is a schnauzer and the owner of an antiques shop with a specialism in handling cursed artefacts. She disposes of the really dangerous items responsibly, but if someone wants to buy a candlestick that will always look wonky and asymmetrical, well, that’s their business!

[fruityfinch]

That’s how it works. Trust me.

The avian fellow is a satin bowerbird! He also makes sculptures. But whatever the medium, you can bet his artworks are all about the colour blue 🟦

It seems like it would be fun to have a tail that wags when you’re happy, but also? no poker face.

Here is the first comic about Koz (cheetah) and Tallulah (dog)!

[fruityfinch]

She’s Just Like That.

If I ever write / draw Eris’ story, it will be set in her early 20s. This comic is a one-off from when she’s in her mid-to-late teens and still attending a boarding school!

ODD DUCK, a 20 page comic!

A short comic about identity, about self-worth, and about feeling like you don’t quite fit in anywhere… and also about being a small dragon.

Just wanted to stretch my comics legs a little and get the Storyteller (and some of my worldbuilding) on a page!!

[fruityfinch]

‘ODD DUCK,’ pages 11 and 12.

I finally decided to abandon hand-lettering since it slows the process down so much!

As is so often the way with shaky childhood memories of friends your parents had, Eris doesn’t even recall this guy’s name - only that he clearly thought he was good with kids by the way he gave her head a tousle, which she just barely tolerated.

ODD DUCK, pages 9 and 10.
