bradray truly has everything like: bickering as a love language, drift compatibility, best friends to lover, idiots to lovers, serenading each other in the humvee, PHYSICAL INTIMACY, ray’s really noticeable tell when he’s upset which can be easily exploited for fic, that quote about them being like the mom and dad of bravo 1, the literal definition of what opposites attract should be, that deleted audio about brad raking the carpet, height difference, that the only time ray calls brad sergeant is after they sing teenage dirtbag, loOoOoOvin’ yOoOoOou, that they’re both simultaneously the smart and the dumb one, that thing where brad always tells ray to shut up but gets so!!! defensive!!! any time anyone so much as breathes one disparaging word about ray, that they both genuinely seem like massive freaks, just THEE horniest vibe in all of hbo war, i could go on.

The story behind the image in Colbert‘s back tattoo

I‘ve seen a lot of people around here discussing the tattoo that covers most of Colbert‘s back, but the comments mostly resume to “lol, what was he thinking?” because it’s an unusual piece. Well, I‘ve done a bit of research and came up with some interesting information!

We know from Evan Wright that the picture was inspired by an artwork by Luis Royo, which Colbert found in a Heavy Metal magazine, which has been publishing sci-fi and fantasy stories and comics for over forty years now. The image is called „The Spirit of Dorsai“ and you can see it below:

Royo drew this artwork in 1993 to serve as a cover art for a collection of science-fiction stories by Gordon R. Dickinson (published in 1979).

The collection features two tales, Amanda Morgan and Brothers, told in the frame device of a conversation between two characters who reminisce about the past. The first tale focuses on the original Amanda Morgan, first in a venerable line of three women bearing this name, a wizened but fierce old warrior who found her home in the wild and austere planet of Dorsai, and who now must defend it using very limited resources (her old gun and a small group of elderly men, invalids, women and children) for much better equipped and trained invaders. She embodies the spirit of the place she defended for so long - clever, tough as nails, welcoming of hardship, brave but not foolish, unbreakable and fearless in the face of death. She succeeds in saving her homeland, and the moral of the story is that moral strength trumps physical strength.

The second tale focuses on a pair of twin brothers, cheerful and charismatic Kensie and stoic Ian, both love interests of the second Amanda (a distant descendant of the first). Within the first pages of the narrative, Kensie is assassinated and his grim twin brother begins searching for the murderer. The troops, also angry at the death of their commander, are not on friendly terms with the city itself, and it becomes obvious that unless the situation is defused somehow, the troops’ search for the murderer could cause a mass slaughter within the city.

What I found notable about this tale is the way it discusses war and how it irrevocably changes people.

Some things you hardly noticed about them have moved forward in them and taken over. Other things you thought were the most important part of what made them, have gone way back in them, or been lost forever. They’ve grown up in ways you didn’t expect.

Eventually Ian takes revenge by himself on his brother’s murderers and both the city and the soldiers come together to mourn Kenzie, bound by their grief. In the end, the normally stoic Ian proves to have cared deeply about his brother.

We can only speculate on whether Colbert actually read any of the stories. While the magazine made heavy use of Royo’s artwork and serialized many sci-fi stories, I couldn’t even find anything related to Dorsai or this artwork in the Heavy Metal Magazine fan archives.

Anyways. What a nerd.
