feel like this applies to hbo war with the target audience vs the fandom lmao

[lamialamia]

In every war, the suffering of children never change. I hope you can find it in you to donate to the Palestine's Children Relief Fund or a charity of your choice.

What are you most qualified to ramble about within the hbo war fandom? Make a certificate and show it off!

I major in luztoye studies, minor in rosie rosenthal appreciation

for the presets use HBO War University as your institution, Spielberg as the president and hanks as the VP, the rest is up to you!

(this is absolutely batshit insane and i apologise.. but it could be fun)

Comfort Fanfic Recs

Tagged by @liminalmemories21

Rules: What are your old school comfort fics? The ones from fandoms that haven't been active in yeeeaaars, but you've read so many times you can practically quote them.

I've been in fandom since 1999 and a lot of my old, old comfort fics have been lost to time (remember Kira and Shell's sprawling X/1999 fic "16:1"? No? Just me?). Here are the ones I can still access:

Sheppard's Law by cesperanza (SGA, John/Rodney)

"Weird? You don't know what weird is. Weird is being in a-- with the-- and the crazy alien--" He stopped, incoherent, hands flailing. "And then your best friend is twelve, and you're his piano teacher. That--now, you're talking weird!"

Aftermath, USA by traveller (Generation Kill, Brad/Nate)

The morning of the assassination, Patti Jankowski got up, took a long shower and towel dried her hair before braiding it into two long ropes that hung over her shoulders. She put on jeans, a t-shirt that showed Mickey Mouse saluting the American Flag, a light tan windbreaker and her comfortable blue SAS sneakers. In her shoulder bag she put a Smith and Wesson .22 caliber revolver, and an umbrella. The forecast was for a 62% chance of rain.

So Are They All, All Honourable Men by seperis (BBC Merlin, Arthur/Merlin)

Considering Arthur's future wife will be chosen less for compatibility than for her political value, Merlin may be the only marriage he'll have that won't end in bloodshed or a great deal of fortifying wine.

Alter Egos by Aishuu (Cardcaptor Sakura, gen-ish)

Yukito and Yue… where does one end and the other begin? To maintain his happiness with Touya, Yuki goes to a counselor and drags her into his world on a dark odyssey that will strain the boundaries of the human psyche. (RC's note: Aishuu finished this fic in 2003. Isn't that wild?)

Beyond the Veil by Atalan/Helene (Harry Potter, Sirius/Remus)

Set after OotP. Trapped in a world where he can be neither seen nor heard, Sirius Black struggles to communicate to his friends that he may not be as dead as they think he is... and that something dreadful lurks beyond the veil.

How to File Form 39-B by thehoyden (Naruto, Kakashi/Iruka)

The first time Iruka met Hatake Kakashi, he was still on some pretty good painkillers.

Transcendental by astolat (SGA, John/Rodney)

tran·scen·den·tal (trăn'sĕn-dĕn'tl) adj. 1. Philosophy. Concerned with the a priori or intuitive basis of knowledge as independent of experience. 2. Surpassing all others; superior. 3. Beyond common thought or experience. 4. Mathematics. Of or relating to a real or complex number that is not the root of any polynomial that has positive degree and rational coefficients.

Blackbird by emungere (NBC Hannibal, Hannibal/Will)

Shortly after Will kills Garret Jacob Hobbs, he and Hannibal stumble into a D/s relationship. It's a relief to have Hannibal telling him what to do, but the closer they become, the closer he gets to realizing who and what Hannibal really is.

Static by nightanddaze (Generation Kill, Brad/Nate)

It starts on the first day of a war with broken radios.

Prayers for the Living by Fahye, littledust (XMFC, Charles/Erik)

AU from midway through the film, looking at what might have happened if Azazel had (sensibly) teleported to Russia and Emma had (sensibly) gone recruiting baby mutants. In which Moira is badass, actions have consequences, and Charles and Erik manage to have some feelings when they're not racing around the country.

The bradnate fandom is probably the tiniest around but gosh, is the fanfics amongst the best ever! Just as Brad and Nate have a competency kink for each other this fandom mirrors that in its fan creations. Glorious!!!

[headfullmanythots]

just found out the pacific and band of brothers were vetted by the DoD…which clearly in hindsight makes sense (but also begs the question was masters of the air??? who at the DoD looked at The Scissoring Scene and went mhm 100% accurate great depiction of our men????)

and now i’m having even MORE Thoughts about the military-entertainment complex because honestly bob probably paints a better picture of the military than gen kill

but what counts as glorifying the military? does bob really? does gen kill? is it easier to say gen kill is propaganda because it depicts the highly controversial (and bad) iraq war while bob is about the more easily digestible wwii?

am I biased against gen kill because i have a negative perception of the war in iraq? does gen kill glorify the military or is the military simply already built to glorify itself? i’ve seen from veterans online that gen kill is one of the most accurate depictions of iraq, which could be grounds to say it’s not propaganda. but does gen kill really show all sides of the conflict? it definitely works to find some sort of balance between pro-military and the realities of war, but we’re also dropped straight into the conflict without much understanding of why there is conflict.

i think the question i’m really pondering is can media portray the realities of war while still glorifying the military/war? bc bob, the pacific, and gen kill all showcase realities of war, but to varying degrees i think they all do still glorify the military. and i think that’s the important distinction i’m finding, is that while war can be portrayed as complex and grim and it’s soldiers struggling with humanity, that the military itself can still be glorified as an institution.

anyways i’ll probably be thinking about this for the next few weeks or so (sorry for the break in my usual fun hbo war content) so feel free to drop by in replies/reblogs/inbox! y’all are getting my (mostly) real time thought process about this and opinions would be lovely!
