From the notes of Capt. Alfred Jones: "Davie was a bus and the 'Flying Fortress' moniker seemed to pass her by, but it was a ship with a brave crew. The trudge of getting back to England from enemy territory is a story for another day. I miss her and sometimes I miss the boys we lost that day."

Notes on the B-17F... The B-17F was an upgrade of the previous E model, with several notable changes: A one- or two-piece plexiglas nose cone, as opposed to the ten-paneled cone of previous versions. Reinforced landing gear allowed for a greater maximum payload, from 4,200 lb (1,900 kg) of ordnance to 8,000 lb (3,600 kg). Flight and combat range of the F model was improved by 900 mi (1,400 km) with the addition of nine self-sealing rubber fuel cells in the wing root, aka, "Tokyo tanks". The F model was generally characterized by being tail-heavy - which lead to part failure - and woefully undefended from the front; the early F models had no front-facing armament, leaving a 60° blind spot to the direct front of the aircraft - a flaw which was exploited by German pilots, who held air superiority. Later F models would see a list of possible available modifications (factory and field) such as inserting two .50 caliber machine guns into the nose cone to solve the blind spot. Other modifications to later F models were bulged cheek turrets, as opposed to the window-mounted guns of earlier iterations, and the available addition of the iconic "Bendix" chin turret. The chin turret is far more common on the subsequent G "gunship" variant. ("Dear Davie" is an early F model without the nose mount, bulged cheeks, or chin turret.)

*This model production block, serial no., and fate are borrowed from real-life B-17F #42-29670, "Thundermug." "Thundermug" was an aircraft that originally served in the 333rd Bomb Squadron/94th Bomb Group alongside my great-grandfather and his usual steed, "The Gremlins Hotel." It was transferred to the 544th BS/384th BG, at which point it went Missing in Action over Hamburg from flak/aa-fire; 8 of its crew became POWs while 2 were KIA. I have had the honor to speak to descendants of both of its crews and help them research "Thundermug"; I wish to voice a mere glimpse of their stories in a unique way.

**All names of Alfred's crew are either cobbled-together family names throughout our history here or entirely fictitious - though some were inspired by real people whom I grew up with stories of. All inspirations were individuals that lived good lives post-war.

Honestly I see Jimmy's refusal to put Curly out of his misery less about his weird feelings of envy or his delusions but the fact Curly is all but stated to be a shield to Jimmy from his actions and people seeing the worst in him.

The only characters that Jimmy really interacts with one on one before the crash are Curly and Anya, two individuals he has wildly different relationships with. It's likely that Curly really did most of the talking between them as the pilots and the rest of the crew as staff. They didn't know of Jimmy's more reprehensible behaviors cause they never really had the chance to and Jimmy is subconsciously aware. If they had disliked him more than Anya would have told Swansea earlier or even Daisuke when things got really bad.

It's why he takes the immediate opportunity to blame Curly; He's the shield. He's saved Jimmy's ass more times than he can count and more times than Jimmy would ever admit. Even when he can't really do it anymore, he mentally shields himself from his own faults by putting Curly between them. Letting Curly die puts too much on him because he doesn't know how to function without a safety net.

In the end Curly only lives because Jimmy needs the idea that Curly will inevitably make things better to stay alive, meaning Curly has to live, no matter how much it pains him to do so.

always kind of strange and uncomfortable when someone admits "yeah i basically fried my attention span on Phone so i can't do anything that requires patience now". the kind of thing where i want to say a million things in response but i tend to say nothing at all

Hi there, and welcome!

After 10 years, I'm back to writing reader insert fics AND only just now making a writing blog for it. Since I'm ~completely~ qualified for it now because of my degree!

My main is @milkkicoffee, which I've also had for a decade at this point. T_T

Anyway, hi! Call me Jani. I write for the following:

(mostly!!!) Kengan Ashura/Omega

Haikyuu!!

Slam Dunk

Blue Lock

Yakuza / Ryu ga Gotoku / Judgment

Golden Kamuy

Jujutsu Kaisen (but really, only Noritoshi)

Tokyo Revengers (but really, only Taiju)

Currently, I am NOT taking requests, and don't know WHEN I'll be ready. However, the ask is open for sharing of headcanons and opinions! I'd love to hear anyone out and add onto your ideas.

I mainly started this blog for Kengan, Blue Lock, Slam Dunk, and Haikyuu brainrot 😖

Feel free to share your hcs, thoughts, opinions anytime! Send in a dm too if you want to gush about faves. :3c

SATURDAY NIGHT MAIN EVENT PREDICTIONS:

I’ve never posted ppv predictions because idk I just feel like im not important on this app enough for people to care about my predictions but whatever I want to post my predictions! [TW: im absolutely deluded /lh]

CHELSEA V MICHIN:

So I really want Chelsea to win, even before the belt got announced Ive been saying if they ever announce a united states belt for the women I think Chelsea should win it, that being said I feel like michin has a better chance of winning the belt unless Piper is at ringside then maybe she’ll interfere and aid Chelsea in a win!

LIV V IYO:

There’s honestly a few ways this could go, we’ve got the obvious millionth judgement day interference causing Liv to retain a title she was seconds away from losing but if that happens again im going to go insane [/lh] so alternate idea, The judgment day interfere knocking out iyo as she’s pinning Liv then while Liv is out Tiffany finally cashes [however I hope not, I want Iyo to win the belt and then have Tiffany finally manage to have a successful cash in on nia at some point! I think that’s what they’re building to with Nia and Candice’s relationship taking priory to Nia over her relationship with Tiffany]

SAMI V DREW:

Drew wins, that’s it, that’s the post, I think they’re going to let him have a successful heel run after everything, letting him right all of the wrongs he believes have been handed to him up until royal rumble [where punk will win, get a title shot, get a title then Drew challenges him for a final time winning the title from him and finally brining an end to his torment]

GUNTHER V DAMIEN V FINN:

I have a few theories for this, part of me wants Ludwig to interfere after his little spat with Gunther, costing him the title but I don’t think that’ll happen, my main idea is the match will end up feeling like a match between Gunther and Damien, Damien will get close to winning then Finn will slip in and take the title [I hope Damien wins though!]

CODY V KEVIN:

Ok so I need everyone to stay with me on this one, I want Kevin to win but here’s what I think could happen, Kevin is winning, he pins Cody and at the two count Randy’s music hits, it turns out he wasn’t as injured as he said he was, he attacks Kevin and embraces Cody but as Cody turns around Randy RKOs him, starting up a final heel run for Randy [over the past weeks Randy has been eyeing up Cody’s belt every time he’s been near Cody, im convinced if this doesn’t happen at this ppv it’s going to happen sometime]

MISCELLANEOUS:

So it’s been rumoured that a women’s star is coming back, originally I thought it would be Jade but it doesn’t make sense for her to come back at this ppv + next week on smackdown naomi is supposed to be teaming with bianca so then I thought maybe it’ll be Charlotte Flair? She’s due back from injury at some point but the deluded guy in me is convinced AJ Lee is coming back [NO SHE ISNT]

[msbigredmachine]

HAHAHAHAHAHA Jey is sending me with his IG stories! 🤣🤣🤣 He stays pressing Dominik’s neck 💀

And Dominik keeps replying back! It’s hilarious!

I think this will def end up being a storyline. They’re having wayyyyy too much fun with this! 😈

Sorry Dom Dom, your days as Rhea’s pet are numbered!

PS. Anyone legit mad about this needs to calm down. It’s not real. It is never that serious.

Main Event Nightmare 💙🌴💀❤️

My unexpected new favs! Their tag titles reign was too short but it was fun while it lasted. Here's hoping they tag together for at least a few more weeks, they're a blast to watch 😤

Might redo this in ink later on, we'll see
