I’m a FAG. Fine Ass Guy 🤔 😂🫩

I hate them.

me probably spreading the good word that shifty, easy's best shot, missed shooting the deer on purpose in ep. 10: points because he was tired of the war and did not want to kill anymore, animals included even when he used to hunt back home before the war. easy could be sent to the pacific anytime soon, and he wanted to put off k!lling anyone or anything as much as he could before the war forces him to use a gun again

WINNIX: in real life, onscreen, and in fandom

"Dad has this record of "People Will Say We're in Love." Reminds me of a couple I once knew, so there's that tricky smile on my lips and a wee bit of twinkle in my eye as I listen." — Dick Winters in a letter to DeEtta Almon

this video could not have been made without yna @evidenceof: i compiled all your wonderful posts, but every single historical photograph, letter, quote, and transcript you see (including the one above!) was scanned or collected by her. thank you for everything, and for providing inspiration and motivation to work on such an ambitious project!

more credits/sources under the cut ->

the style of this video was inspired in part by (and could never live up to) twelve years a clown and a new season by kira @remythologise. you do well-sourced fandom meta as comedy so well!
