[Discussion] The Battle of the Monday Blahs

As the quiet dread of rarepair deadlines begins to settle in, we all need some positivity. Or, I do, anyway. Here's some suggestions :D

  • 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?

I read We Who Are Alive and Remain a few months ago and found it sadder than I expected it to be (mostly towards the end tbh). Is A Company of Heroes about the same, would you say? I was going to read them back to back but thought it might be too much melancholy at once.

I haven't finished either--mostly just jumping around to the bits relevant to the fic I'm writing--so, I don't want to speak conclusively. But I haven't found A Company to be too melancholic so far! I'd say its definitely worth a glance or two, especially if you're interested in the lives of the men cast into the periphery of the show/Ambrose's book.

Thank you, that's good to know. I definitely plan on reading it but mostly I was wondering if I should buffer it with something more cheery.
