[Discussion] The Battle of the Monday Blahs

[muccamukk]

Before I go out and start shovelling snow, I thought I'd post our weekly round of positivity! Suggested topics include but are in no way limited to:

• Post about bits of canon you currently love/are thinking about.


• What random related facts delight you?


• Rec a fanwork you've recently discovered or revisited for the hundredth time.


• Actor just that damn pretty you have to share a pic or gif? Share one!

What's making you happy in HBO War Fandom this week, folks?

Overall fandom membership~

I have to say, by and large everyone in this community has been incredibly welcoming and excited. As an extremely anxious person who has flinched away from many larger fandoms because they're....tumultuous, for lack of a better term, it's been a real treat to discover a close-knit one like this that is mostly made up of such kind, encouraging, interesting people.

Part of the reason I decided to open this community at all was because I had met such lovely people and I didn't want to lose that sense of camaraderie, so thank you all for being here, not just in HA but in HBOWar in general~

So glad our weird love of WWII personalities brought us all together <333

Positivity in an angsty way: I am 100% emotionally compromised that this is the dedication in Gene Sledge's book:

I'm writing a scene where Gene makes an AU redux of the Market Garden jump, so this image is stuck fast in my mind:

A less easy jump than Market Garden, lol, but the emotions are similar to the scene I'm writing

I've been thinking about Dick's weird little smile when Nix is talking about his wife leaving him in the Jeep. He looks so smug.

I want to take this chance to promote a tumblr that keeps giving great BoB content: searchingforacircuitbreaker!!!

She is great and told me she will soon be reading Babe and Bill’s book too, so I hope for more new stuff on them soon *rolls in love*

Late as usual, given that it's Wednesday already (when did that happen?!), but recently I've been researching the Holland period and this Tumblr post is sitting in an open tab in my browser, filling me with joy:

Captain Nixon, assist Colonel Dobie in every way.
