[Discussion] The Battle of the Monday Blahs

[muccamukk]

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'm currently listening to the audiobook of Malarkey's memoir. Overall I'm really enjoying it so far, but the part I've been most delighted about is his super unsubtle thirst for hero worship of Joe Toye.

I've always enjoyed Malarkey as a character in the show and felt it a bit of a shame that we don't get to see more of him in a leading role, so the book is a really nice expansion into his character. Will post a proper review when I'm finished with the thing, but until then, I'll be rolling in Don/Joe and Don/Buck feels.

Some fic I've really enjoyed this week:
all of me by etacanis
Winnix post war lotsa pining. It's great.

With You I'm Mesmorised by coupe_de_foudre
Andy/Eddie Soulmate ficlet. Really sweet, and a nice twist of the mechanics.

One happy thing for this week is that I'm currently reading an unrelated library book that I should finish in a couple of days and then I can get back to reading HBO War related books. My choices are Burgie's book, Shifty's, or Brotherton's A Company of Heroes. I've been saying for months that I'm going to read Shifty's book next but then I got distracted with The Pacific so I might just continue that trend and read Burgie's book.

The Ack Ack/Hillbilly feed is also alive lately which also makes me happy every time I receive a notification for it <3

I just saw the “quiet dread of rarepair deadlines” and even though I know I’m the one responsible for that honestly mood.
