Sooo, I Have This Problem: I Recently Introduced My Best Friend (and Her Husband) To Band Of Brothers

Sooo, I have this problem: I recently introduced my best friend (and her husband) to Band of Brothers and we watched the first two episodes together. It was wonderful! She recognized so many actors, got invested in the story really fast and was immediately scared for all of them.

But (and this is a big BUT) what she doesn't know: I've watched the series plenty of times, I read ours on ours of fanfictions, I'm craving all these funny Tumblr posts and I ship the frickin HELL out of these beautiful brave boys.

And I don't know how to contain all these feelings!!!

Like, can you imagine sitting there, not being able to scream 'Look at them!! Do you see the love? DO YOU SEE IT????' 😱

The only positive thing is we're both German and the series gives us plenty of interesting things to discuss, like how in TV shows and movies we're always rooting for the Americans, but in reality we would be the evil ones, or how our (great) grandparents experienced the war and how we grew up with this huge guilt.

I'm so happy this unbelievable show exists!

I have no words, it's just... it's too good! Like, how perfect is this?!

Band of Brothers fandom

Thanks so much @howling-harpy for including me! I’m a bit hesitant to call myself a member of the fandom because I can’t really contribute anything besides likes and comments. But I want to let you know I appreciate every single post I see.

Name: Hannah 

Age: 26

Biggest loves: Winters, Nixon, Speirs, Luz

The episode I love the most: Day of Days. I rember how shocked I was after watching it for the first time. The danger and violence kept me on the edge of my seat, and I got pretty sad and thought to myself: Welcome to our frikkin war boys :(

And least?: Crossroads. I never understood why such a great series needed to portray the germans so incompetent and weak in this episode (giving away their position on the dike without logical reason). BoB and especially Easy Company don’t need to dump them down. They’re better than this.

Whom I didn’t like at first but found coming around to: Blithe. He annoyed me soo much at first, because he was so weak and a real threat and hindrence for his company (in my eyes). But later I had to admit that I would have reacted exactly the same (as most of us would), and that it was important to see the fighting from his perspective to show us the horrors and consequences of the war.

I’d like to hear this from: Everyone in the same situation as me, who didn’t dare to speak out and/or wasn’t tagged yet. I’d love to hear your opinion!

Am I open for makind new friends?: Absolutely! Everyone who loves Band of Brothers has to be awesome!

Thanks! Finally a normal human being!

hello fellow Rickyl shipper here who supports all the other ships, too, because that's the fucking point of shipping, when did fandom start to be so demanding and rude?? When did they become so arrogant? ship and let ship! (Also it's STILL rare to have interracial relationships on screen and this is actually a good thing guys, don't forget that. AH FUCK IT, I'll ship them all three together. my OT3. I am happy now)

This is the best.

I need to memorize and USE it! This is sooo good!

You gotta have a plan…
