the gay subtext that is Winters&Nixon in Band of Brothers part 2/?

PART 2: DAY OF DAYS - line of lines

Most of the episode is Dick being a Worried and Stern Dad which is great, and he does such a good job too it hurts. He’s had a tough day, but things are settling down and what happens?

NIX COMES RIDING IN ON A SHERMAN LIKE A BIG DAMN HERO AND REPEATS THE LINE (FROM, MAY I REMIND YOU, AGES AGO??? THEY WERE ON A TRAIN IN, WHERE, BACK IN THE US???? BEFORE ALL THE TRAINING IN ENGLAND. FUCK. IT’S THEIR LINE OR SOME SHIT WHAT THE FUKC 

It has been established  that it’s Their Line™

Really, if you doubt how much of a pick up line “Going my way” is please consider the fact that Nix literally picks Dick up after saying this. This show does not do subtle. 

Dick tries to fling the levity back at Nix, tries to be jokey and brush it off, but GOOD GOD if he doesn’t sag with relief as he replies “Sure” and grabs Nix’s hand. All this goddamn time Dick has been lowkey worrying about Nix but Duty Comes First and this………….hurts me

Then the goddamn Can Scene, okay so, Dick is clearly distraught. He can’t even open a fucking can. So Nix helps him, and this entire scene highlights how easy their interaction is, how Dick can be a little less rigid in Nix’s company (which, just fuck me up). A fantastic bonus of this scene is how Nix looks at Dick - he is worried about his bff, and it’s written all over his face im cry

also here’s a wonderful screenshot. there’s no meta attached to it, i just enjoy it

EPISODE 3: CARENTAN - what’s personal space

This episode is an example of: any and All scenes with Winters and Nixon are Gay as Heck

Let me walk you thru it

They both appear together. Like its the most natural thing. Correct me if im wrong, but they’re not the same rank yet?? They have wildly different commissions too, right??. So why?????????????? ((we know why)) Nix also literally follows Dick around, and it’s adorable

The little exchange of derpy expressions @ stupid officers is Such A Married Thing okay like, Dick “No Humour” Winters is the sassiest fuck and Nix is his worst enabler

The scene where Dick looks at Nix and says “hot showers” in a really soft tone, like…………why. Im tryna live

The canteen scene

Enough said

We Know what Richard Winters looks like when the thought of kissing Lewis Nixon flits across his mind.

I blame Nix for leaning into his personal space in a way as to invite kisses Especially when compared to how he tells presumably the exact same thing to Buck and company - like, he does not get within kissing range of Compton, no sir.

The thing is that nothing is accidental in television- this was a conscious choice of framing, and the actors chose to look like this and lean into each other. Nix could have whispered in Dick’s ear, but he didn’t.

TL:DR the case for romantic subtext grows stronger by each passing episode

the gay subtext that is Winters&Nixon in Band of Brothers part 1/?

PART 1: CURRAHEE - establishing the friendship; flirting

hey, guess what scene is the one to introduce the character focus of the entire series? why it’s Nix, waiting on Dick, who joins up with him without batting an eyelash. These dudes are clearly used to hanging out

and what happens in this scene? Well, it’s Nix asking Dick on a date after the war is over. I will not lie and tell you it’s not important that the first character establishing scene is one of Nix and Winters - their relationship is very much at the center of this series. Im sorry I don’t make the rules

Okay like you can read the scene as a couple of guys being nervous about jumping out of a perfectly functional airplane, I will grant you that, BUT as a counterargument I will poise the way Nix looks at Dick

Like Dick literally hung the moon, and it hurts Nix to look at him

PAIRED WITH the way Dick looks at Nix after “Should have been born earlier Nix.” “What, and miss all this?”

DICK GIVES NIX THE SOFTEST FOND LOOK IN THE WORLD

LIKE DICK KNOWS NIX MEANS THAT IF IT TAKES FIGHTING A WAR FOR THEM TO MEET IT WILL HAVE BEEN WORTH IT

and you know, it’s not, like, super hetero of Dick’s gaze to flicker to Nix’s mouth THREE TIMES while he lights a cigarette. If I could I’d gif it because it’s honestly ridiculous

It’s established right off the bat that Winters and Nixon are very good friends - Nix  is the one to introduce Dick to Harry as having “No flaws, no vices and no sense of humor.”

Dick is a little different around Nix than anyone else though - the “can of peaches” scene establishes that Dick does have a sense of humour, and that Nix shares it - presumably, he has an idea about Dick’s flaws and vices as well (((kill me rn)))

Their friendship is easy, if unlikely.

Dick is presented as a very by the books guy, he is stiff and calm, but he relaxes around Nix very obviously - let me give you some examples:

Invasion of private space is commonplace, like when Nix read Dick’s private letter over his shoulder. Dick is totally cool with it, and is very inviting with his posture. But this is just guys being dudes, bros being pals

The train scene, though, is CLEARLY Nix flirting.

“Going my way” sounds a lot like “Come here often” which is indisputably coded as “I AM FLIRTING WITH YOU USING A LAME LINE BUT WE ARE SO COMFORTABLE WITH EACH OTHER IT DOUBLES AS A JOKE

and Dick reciprocating like there’s no tomorrow LIKE LOOK AT HIS FUCKING FACE

LOOK AT THE KNEES TOUCHING

and then Nix tells Dick he’s hiding his booze in his footlocker - what kind of next level trust shit??????  friendship bracelets got nothin on footlockers

In summary: the winters/nixon relationship is cornerstone for both characters AND the character driven narrative of Band of Brothers. Their dynamic has obvious romantic overtones.
