Pictured: A very topless (and fully clothed) Dick Winters doing jump training in Toccoa (Image Source: Major Dick Winters Files: Section I Toccoa to Normandy)

one of my fave things about dick is him shaking his fist at A Thing only to turn around and do exactly what he says he would Not Be Caught Dead Doing.

exhibit a: pooh-poohing the idea of joining the paratroopers until he's convinced by the image of the hard, lean, bronzed men of the outfit:

Dick's letter to DeEtta Jan. 22, 1942

“Now that it looks as if I might be going to [Fort] Benning, Trent’s dug up that old desire of his to be a member of the Parachute Troops. I’ve been telling him he’s nuts for that’s a suicide outfit.”

From Beyond Band of Brothers by Dick Winters and Cole Kingseed

“The more I looked at the paratroopers, the more I was inclined to join them as soon as I graduated from OCS. Of all the outfits I’d seen at Fort Benning, they were the best looking and most physically fit. After ten months of infantry training, I realized my survival would depend on the men around me. Airborne troopers looked like I had always pictured a group of soldiers: hard, lean, bronzed, and tough. When they walked down the street, they appeared to be a proud and cocky bunch exhibiting a tolerant scorn for anyone who was not airborne.”

"nobody wants to work anymore" but a low paying casual retail job wants you to travel to a capital city you don't live in, which is a considerable distance and time travelled from you (when you actively have a branch of this shop in your LOCAL shopping centre, 15mins down the road); for a group interview assessment centre. they then make you CONGA LINE into the said group interview with party poppers and streamers. like ma'am. I don't care how "ironic hipster millennial and 90s nostalgia" and "life of the party" this brand is supposed to be. but I ain't conga lining into this interview like a fucking clown. fuck some hiring managers and HR depts, honestly.

one night, freshly turned louis feeds from lestat and he drinks so much that lestat carefully cradles his head in both of his big palms and gently pulls him away from his neck "mon cher, i have no more to give", he doesn't want to stop him but he's feeling faint and hungry again "I will go feed and come back home to you, saint louis"

in response louis looks up at him with big round eyes that hold so much hurt in them, lestat said he would take care of him, so why is he stopping him from feeding from him? he promised that he would give him the world so why can't he give him this? and now he wants to leave louis alone to go hunt..?

lestat obviously isn't privy to louis' thoughts anymore but he can see the glassiness that covers his eyes, he can see the sad frown on his face, he notices the way louis is looking at him but not really seeing him and decides that he won't can't leave him alone in this state

so he gathers louis further into his arms, pulls him onto his lap and holds him throughout the rest of the night, occasionally rubbing a hand down his back as if he's comforting a frightened puppy, and peppers kisses on his forehead, nose and cheeks because louis' makes a cute lil sound every single time that he does

When louis eventually comes back to himself he's a bit embarrassed by his actions and tries to pull away but lestat doesn't let him ofc, he holds him tighter and tells louis how sweet he was for him "louis you never told me just how much you liked my blood" he says, his smile evident in his voice

by the time sunrise comes, they have made their way to the coffin and louis is snuggled up to lestat with his face once again in his neck (this is louis comfort place), lestat has his arms wrapped tightly around him and just like that, completely surrounded by each other they fall into a deep sleep.

YES ANOTHER BEZ TALKING ABOUT PECCO INTERVIEW YES THEY'RE MARRIED

I: “And what is your relationship with Pecco?” B: “So with Pecco we’re really close friends. He’s also super strong so I try to use him as an example because right now he’s much stronger than me” I: “How is he stronger than you? In which way?” B: “Well, mentally he’s super strong. When he convinces himself of something its super difficult to try and beat him. If he convinces himself that he’s gonna do something, he will do it. So I like that characteristic and I’m trying to keep him a little bit as an example in that area, then he’s obviously very strong on the bike. He brakes hard, he has good pace I can’t tell you one specific thing, hes just really good. But I enjoy him so much cause we have a great bond and even tho last year fortunately we did have some fights on track and sometimes I even beat him we managed to never fight off track, and its not easy.” I: “Also you have very different personalities” B: “Yes, he’s calmer than me and mmh I wouldn't say he’s serious but he’s not as outgoing as me” I: “As extroverted?” B: “Yes, not as extroverted with strangers but when it’s just us he’s just like us. Then he’s a little bit more meticulous and closed off, but he’s very cool with me” I: “So even in those more stressful moments on track you never fought?” B: “No, never. Also, he’s very very intelligent, he knows that when we’re fighting on track we’re both ready to do anything.” I: “When you first met him, would you have thought he was gonna win two world championships in motogp?”  B: “Not really, but we were both so young, then during the years I started to realise how strong he was gonna become, cause I saw how he works and his growth. When we first met no, but I was happily surprised during the years and then after moto2 everybody understood he was gonna become really strong”

Also here is an interview snippet which I thought was interesting. I've never thought much about what his creative process might have been like. Also, I didn't realise that the panels he drew on were so much larger than what ended up in print. I mean, it makes sense, but I guess I always just assumed he drew up the squares exactly the way they looked in the end.

Happy one year Anne-iversary to the end of Amphibia!

A fantastic finale to an unforgettable show. I'll always remember watching "The Hardest Thing" at 2 am with my siblings and crying my eyes out :'))
