“One time I was in a training session in Aldbourne on munitions and demolition being taught by Lewis Nixon. Some of the guys were not paying proper attention, talking, yacking it up a little, which annoyed Nixon. So he nonchalantly grabbed a ¼ stick of TNT, right in plain sight, attached a fuse, lit it, and threw it into the middle of the crowd. The fuse was plenty long enough to allow someone to safely grab it and throw it clear with plenty of time to spare”
- Ed “Doc” Pepping, Easy Company Medic

Yesterday I randomly thought of the Band of Brothers characters’s names, but the first letter is replaced with a B and I can’t stop thinking about it.
Speirs: Oh, anyone care for a smoke?
Replacements:
Lipton, glaring at him: You better don’t.
Speirs: *dodging grenades, limboing under bayonets, swerving bullets, rolling across tanks, and running through enemy lines*
Speirs: Parkour.

Ronald Speirs: Holy shit, it's a piggy bank!
a family can be a ginger captain america, his snarky boyfriend, a beautiful kleptomaniac, a soft wahlberg brother, a small curly man and their brood of dirty, adopted battle children
malarkey i’m lookin’ at you
(No one asked for this, but you know what? I’m still gonna do it.)
The guys all live in the same apartment building.
Dick doesnt understand 99.9% of pop culture. You could probably show him a thirty minute PowerPoint about what “ok boomer” means and he still wouldn’t understand.
Dick listens to old country music and Nix absolutely hates it.
Nix works at the local animal shelter and wants to bring a dog home almost every day, but Dick always tells him that the two dogs they have are enough.
Liebgott listens to Indie music.
He’s also the bass guitarist in a band called The Flashbacks.
The Flashbacks mostly cover songs by The White Stripes, Pixies, Metric, Arctic Monkeys, and occasionally Cavetown, but they do perform a few songs that Liebgott has written, including one dedicated to Webster.
Guarnere plays the drums in The Flashbacks.
Webster writes poetry and everyone claims to hate it. (Spoiler alert: they don’t.)
Webster is Instagram famous. (He mostly posts aesthetic photos he’s taken or little bits of his poetry.)
Luz is a huge fan of all kinds of ghosts, demons, and cryptids, but his favorite would have to be Mothman. He even went to West Virginia to look for him once, but ended up not seeing him.
Luz knows all of the lyrics to Take On Me and Tainted Love and sings them when he gets bored. Sometimes he doesn’t even realize he’s doing it.
Toye has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and used to go boxing with Guarnere every Saturday before they got in a car crash.
Eugene can sing and play piano. Like... Really well.
Eugene has a banana ball python named Peaches.
Babe used to paint a lot when he was a teenager, so now he’s really good at it. His favorite thing to paint is Eugene’s cat, Magnolia.
Lipton owns a small tea and coffee shop.
Lipton’s shop actually brought him and Ron together. Ron was a regular and always changed up his order to make it more complicated so he could stay longer and talk to Lip.
Ron has a rottweiler puppy named Dally and he carries him around in a puppy backpack. They have matching sunglasses.
Ron is a big Outsiders fan. He’s been to the museum in Tusla five times and read the book at least thirteen times. (And yes, he named his puppy after Dallas Winston.)
Shifty sends everyone a wholesome meme each morning to let them know that they are loved.
Shifty works at Lipton’s tea and coffee shop.
Muck eats tomatoes like apples and everyone’s extremely disgusted by it.
Malarkey, Muck, and Penkala like to hide tiny plastic alligators in front of everyone’s apartments. (They always put sharks in front of Webster’s apartment.)
Luz, Babe, Malarkey, Muck, and Penkala are in a group chat called “RIP Vine 😔😔😔” and each member sends a meme every day. It’s been going on for two years.
Everyone always goes to Buck’s football games, even though most of them don’t care for the sport, because they enjoy screaming at the other team.
Luz, Babe, And Talbert are Tik Tok famous.
Winters: We’re a perfectly normal family
Luz: *playing 7 nation army with forks hitting the piano*
Liebgott: *setting David’s clothes on fire*
Roe: *praying in the corner while Babe tries to “cut” his hair*
Winters: Yep! Perfectly Norma-! LEWIS NIXON PUT DOWN THE VODKA ITS 11 IN THE MORNING
Liebgott: I sleep with a bat by my pillow
Luz: weak, I sleep with my rifle
Lipton: you’re both pathetic
Nixon: [not paying attention, taking a sip of coffee] tell ‘em, Lip
Liebgott: what do you sleep with?
Lipton: Speirs
Nixon: [spits out coffee]
Babe: Are you alright? You didn't sleep at all last night.
Roe: I got a solid eight minutes.
Roe: Not consecutively, but it's fine. You're not even that blurry
Nixon, at Starbucks: can I get a venti vanilla latte with uhh, seven espresso shots
Speirs, next in line: Jesus Christ just do cocaine
Lieb: Woah, Web is so pretty.
Chuck: Don’t be jealous Lieb, you’re really pretty too.
Lieb: I’m not being jealous, I’m being gay.
