BAND OF BROTHERS | CURRAHEE

Doc Roe in the background of scenes (pt. 2/26)

[montied]

id in alt and below cut

[ID: The running from floating guy meme, edited so that the floating guy is art of Eugene "Doc" Roe from Band of Brothers, the running person is art of a generic US WWII soldier with motion blur to look like he's running, and the background is the forest at Bastogne covered in snow /end ID]

[lesbiandarvey]

if i could remake band of brothers 2001 with the cast of riverdale . kj apa and camilla mendes would play dick and nix respectively. i think lili reinhart would play speirs i think that would be really fun. charles melton would be harry. casey cott and the guy who played fangs (drew ray tanner) would be liebgott and webster

vanessa morgan would be doc roe and madeline petch would be babe. shannon purser (ethel) would be malarkey. richard speight jr would still play muck cus hes already in the CW universe.

jughead would play a character in the background obsessed with documenting the Story on his typewriter and be named steven .

i’ve never shared this story time with anyone except my friends and i thought sharing it with BoB fans could be fun (because it was such an amazing experience!!)

GOING TO A BAND OF BROTHERS CONVENTION

i attended the commemorations in normandy back in 2019 bc i’m from france and i REALLY wanted to drag my parents there to show how amazing the whole experience was (and it was the 75th anniversary so yay). and then i discovered that they were doing a BoB convention with some of the actors (shane taylor, robin laing etc.) and as i was exactly in my BoB era, i figured it would be cool to attend. in my 17y-old glory, i went there with no one to help me go through all the tables and signing and talking (reminder i’m french and when anxious, my english is 10 times worse). fortunately, my mother asked a group of lovely girls to accompany me, and they even gifted me a bastogne card for the actors to sign !! (i had a poor piece of paper pls..) they were super fun and thankfully one of them was american, so it was easier to strike up a convo or joke around with the guys.

i’ll tell you their characters’ names but i remember seeing grant, shifty, popeye, penkala, dike, dale dye.. seeing how the guys were so close even in reality, how friendly the whole atmosphere was, seeing how connected to each other they are because they know this tv show will go on through the generations and is still important today is so special, truly.

but then i came around chris langlois, rick (welsh), robin (babe) and shane’s table and omg i could’ve fainted, i WOULD HAVE. doc roe is my fav character (it’s never the same in reality but i got really attached to him, even after rewatching so </3) and meeting the grandson of the real roe was mindblowing.

but here comes the funniest part : it was the american girl’s birthday, rick and robin did not understand that and thought it was MY birthday, so when they signed my stuff they asked how old i was yadayada. and then we took a picture, robin even filmed a video on my phone (that i still have. and my wallpaper is actually him showing rick and shane in the background) for my friend who was as much of a fan as i was back then !! that was so cool of him !! then they finally understood it wasn’t my birthday when we told them and they were making fun of themselves, saying i should hide the card before my actual birthday. coolest interaction ever and they were so chill, i could actually talk a little bit since i was less nervous w/ them !! LOVE THEM !!

after going through these mountains of emotions, we ate at a restaurant just beside the convention place and i could see all the actors leaving, rick smiled to me and robin did the birthday joke again. and THEN a few days later my friend posted a tweet abt it and robin actually replied so, you know, the fact that he did not forget abt it 10 minutes after was nice lmao.

once a fangirl, always a fangirl apparently. the fact that i first became a fan at 17 and now i’m 21, oof it hits ya. i truly think i will never live something that cool again, currahee forever or whatever !!

[dontirrigateme]

Made by the amazing @ronald-speirs (my sister wrote this part, but I've seen your stuff and I agree so I'm leaving it). And thanks @1waveshortofashipwreck for the tag

Favorite place in the world you’ve visited?

Mt. Etna. When I was little (like, 3rd grade) we lived in Sicily, and one winter my brother and I wanted desperately to play in the snow, but it hadn't snowed where we lived in a long time. So we took a drive up Etna until we saw snow, where we stopped and spent the day playing around in it. (It was later that there was a horrible eruption that caused a bad earthquake where we lived, but I sleep like Nixon so I was dead to the world throughout the event.)

Something you’re proud of yourself for?

Making it through fire academy. Other than playing basketball one year in childhood I had never been very athletic, but I was out there doing bleacher runs, blackout drills, and climbing ladders to drag giant hoses to the top of buildings with the rest of them. I'm driven by the desire to not make an ass out of myself in front of others, and somehow I was able to do all those things, and ultimately participate in a live burn at the end of the program.

Favorite books?

Making my way through the books written by and about the troopers, so I gotta go with Band of Brothers. But my other favorites are anything by Kurt Vonnegut, the Dark Tower series, the Black Company series, Les Miserables, Moby Dick, Practical Demonkeeping (and almost anything by Christopher Moore), Hitchhiker's Guide...I'm sure I'm leaving some out, I love to read (Dick Tracy and Flash Gordon mostly...I couldn't resist).

Something that makes your heart happy when thinking about it?

.........band of brothers. Specifically my background characters. Specifically Smokey and McClung.

Favorite thing about your culture? About being American?

When did you join the HBO War fandom? What was the first show you watched?

It was a long road.......it came out when my family was stationed in Japan, so I didn't really know about it until I moved back. Streaming wasn't a thing then, so I would catch parts here and there, and I eventually figured I had seen the whole thing. Spent a long time thinking that people overreacted to it and that it was overrated. But I'm also leaving out one thing: that I am stupid. Figured my sister would appreciate having seen it, and suggested we watch it. I realized at the end of the first episode just how stupid I am.

Have you read any of Easy Company’s books? If so, which ones were your favorite?

I have a growing collection, but work often gets in the way. I've only read Ambrose's Band of Brothers. I've also read the Smokey portion of A Company of Heroes by Marcus Brotherton.

Favorite HBO War character and your favorite moment with them?

Have I mentioned how much I love Smokey yet.... One of his best moments (I think) is when he meets with Roe in Bastogne in his foxhole and gives him the morphine, tells him where to find scissors, and about Toye's boots.

Also McClung. And I love "ask him to dance, doc." The battle on the outskirts of Carentan has to be one of my favorite parts of the series though.

Do you make content for any fandoms, if so; what sort of content?

Just some gifs so far. I do like to write, but I've never dabbled in fanfiction.

Favorite actor/actress and your favorite film of theirs?

Russell Crowe and Michael Fassbender are the ones where I'll pretty much watch anything as long as one of them is in it, even if it's bad (like Jonah Hex...horrible movie, but worth it to see Fassbender's little villain character doing his little tee-hee leprechaun laugh through all his scenes). I'll also watch almost anything with Emily Blunt, she is fantastic and a hilarious human being.

Favorite quote/s that you wish to share with others?

So many by Kurt Vonnegut, but I'll just put two:

"If you can do a half-assed job of anything, you're a one-eyed man in a kingdom of the blind."

"We are healthy only to the extent that our ideas are humane."

Random fact your mutuals/followers don’t know about you?

I had a bearded dragon named Ichabod years ago. And I still love that name for a lizard.

If you’re a writer, do you need a beta reader (say yes so I can be your beta reader 🤭)?

If I ever start writing again, then yes. 😊

Three things that make you smile?

Anything band of brothers (obviously)

my remote-controlled tank (which I did not expect to love so much)

Facial muscles

Any nicknames you like?

You can call me anything and I won't care. If it's an insult I'll probably just wind up more confused than offended.

List some people you love to see around on tumblr!

I can't even think of all the people I see around here, but of course my sister @1waveshortofashipwreck, also @executethyself35, @love--persevering. And the ones I see around like @panzershrike-pretz, @dustyjumpwjngs, @blood-mocha-latte, @ewipandora, @cody-helix02, @blueberry-ovaries, @grumpy-liebgott, @hanniewinnix, @kafka-ohdear, @malarkgirlypop, @whollyjoly (i'm sure i'm leaving some out, sorry....)

What would you do during a zombie apocalypse?

Finally have a job I like probably. Not like I have a crowbar, axe, jacket with a thousand pockets, and combat boots hoping for something to happen...

Favorite movie?

So, so many. The 12th Man, Four Lions, The Nice Guys, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, The Professional, Headhunters, the Full Monty, anything in the Mad Max franchise, Death of Stalin, Tremors, District 9, the Right Stuff, Children of Men, Suddenly Last Summer, Banshees of Inisherin, Dunkirk, 1917, Fury, 28 Days Later, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Drop Dead Fred, Sicario, Lars and the Real Girl, Casablanca, Three Kings, the Great Escape, the Fifth Element, Hud, Stand By Me, Tucker & Dale vs Evil, Evolution...I could go on

Do you like horror movies?

Yup. 28 Days Later is up there in my favorites. The Descent is an EXCELLENT horror movie for anyone that hasn't seen it (and has made it this far down my rambling answers). Ravenous isn't very well known, and it's not perfect, but it's fun and weird. Stir of Echoes is an unconventional horror movie, but an excellent one-off story. Slither is a fun one with a decent cast (Elizabeth Banks, Nathan Fillion, Michael Rooker, among others).

No pressure tags!!

I'm just gonna copy and paste the people I put up in my answers. Sorry if you already did this, but enjoy another tag: @executethyself35, @love--persevering, @panzershrike-pretz, @dustyjumpwjngs, @blood-mocha-latte, @ewipandora, @cody-helix02, @blueberry-ovaries, @grumpy-liebgott, @hanniewinnix, @kafka-ohdear, @malarkgirlypop, @whollyjoly

[magnoliasforyourmedic]

Hihihihi my name is Olie and this is my blog dedicated to Doc Roe. You maybe possibly definitely could know me from my other side blogs. If you do, this will be formatted very similarly in terms of content :)

main/ao3: @waitingforsols

top gun/mota/aviation: @thatsrightice

boys in the boat: @savvylittlecoxswain

BACKGROUND: I’m a history buff especially when it comes to the world wars and beyond, but my life’s passion is aviation. I love researching and digging on the internet, I put way too much time and research into fanfics. I do have a mechanical engineering degree but it isn’t really relevant to this blog :)

WHAT DO I POST ABOUT?

Doc Roe headcanons, prompts, writing ideas, fanfics I'll probably write, rants, etc.

Quotes and interesting facts and pictures that I find online or in the book

I ship literally everything but I will say x Reader usually isn’t my flavor of choice

[gluteus-canis-familiaris]

Hey there, it's your HBO War Secret Santa! Super excited to create something for you, and I hope you're well! Quick question if it's not too much trouble - do you have a list of your favorite fics for each pairing? Have a good one :)

Anon Santaaaaa I am SO incredibly sorry for how late this reply is!!! I was launched into a new rotation at the hospital that had me drowning and sent my last 2 brain cells into chaos for the past 2 weeks, but that’s really no excuse and I’m sorry for the inconvenience!! Totally understandable if you’d rather not take these answers into consideration given how long they took to get here, and please rest assured that I’m always happy with anything and everything when it comes to hbowar <3 also additional apologies if I missed some of the pairings I listed when I answered the form, I answered it in the middle of a 24-hour duty day so I really only had 1 brain cell in attendance at the time hahaahjksfakdsf but here goes! (you didn’t need reasons for why I liked the fics but I ended up putting them anyway woops HAHAHA)

Brad/Nate

- Not Yet Wise by streetsuss_serenade >>> one of the first GK fics I latched onto, and I think it will stick with me for the rest of my life akjdfafsdjkd  the way it captures Nate’s internal struggles!!!!! ARGH!!

- Leading the Way by nogoaway >>> I loved the lives the author built for both Brad and Nate outside of what we know and see in GK, how they gave cues on the passing of time with the cultural references they chose to include, and how so much of the emotional beats were shown rather than explicitly spelled out by the characters :(((((

- Aftermath, USA by traveller >>> for the angst!!!! I am an absolute sucker for this brand of angst!!! - Do No Harm by NoMomImTotallyNotReadingPorn >>> a lovely hospital AU with hospital shenanigans!!!

- left in the hands of the living by dykealore >>> where would I be without recommending my most beloved author!! the EMOTIONS and heart-wrenching flashbacks while also Making Marvel Better is everything ;_;  

 

Andy/Eddie (these were the fics that came to mind but I would absolutely die for anything andy/eddie related at all hahaha)

- The Holy Vow of a Teenage Kiss by rivlee >>> the best romcom vibes with this one!!

- straight on til morning by seabright >>> I didn’t even think I was looking for crossover fics when it came to the pacific but I took a chance on this one and it WRECKED me��the slow build up of their friendship and love with the constant threat of war in the background aaaargh !! not rly relevant but this fic single-handedly got me back into HP after what must be 10 years of not engaging in the fandom waaah

- The Church of Saint Andrew by hillbilled >>> still ongoing and still continuously hurting me aksjdfhkjadhsfadsf  the reincarnations of andy over time and how he comes together with eddie in different ways is so riveting and painful and I don’t want it to end

 

(sorry I don’t have more for BoB at this moment, not for lack of fic out there, but more that I haven’t visited the tag to look for new ones in a while huhu)

Babe/Roe

- By Small and Small by luxover >>> once again I am a sucker for hospital AUs and big happy bar scenes what can I sayyyyyy

- A Softer War by twelve_pastels >>> take me to the bayouuuu this fic is so soft and lovely &lt;3

- Till the Day is Born by rum4life >>> not Babe/Roe-centric since it’s a trilogy crossover, and hot daaamn the complexity of the Babe/Roe/Doc Bryan triangle alone is enough for me to rec this, but everything else about it was such a wild and gripping read as well!!

 

Winnix

- It Happened One Night by raquelpillo >>> hngh! no ! words !

August 18: Happy birthday

the “aaaaaah stop! i coulda dropped my croissant” vine but it’s roe and babe

[pandalandalopalis]

rewatching band of brothers when your favourite character is doc roe is like playing where's waldo with every episode except bastogne

[band-of-bitches]

Little things I noticed after re-watching Band of Brothers

Liebgott’s “Now you stop shooting? Beautiful!” during Day of Days

Going my way was said TWICE by Nix which I just noticed (If that’s not flirting I don’t know what is)

The way Shifty says “our 1st platoon?”

Malarkey’s face when he’s getting LT. Meehan’s laundry (my hEART)

Toye’s look of realization when he see’s Comptons’ been shooting lefty *insert Pikatchu meme*

How much Bull is actually a DAD

Winters’s little “oh ho, OH HO” after he threw Nix’s piss on him

How one second Lip is comforting Alley, telling him he’ll be okay in that soft voice, then suddenly yelling at his men to get in order like daaamn we stan a multifacited man

When Sink is promoting Winters you can see Skip just fucking with Penkala in the background and it is adorable

The way Doc Roe runs like a little kid god I love him

Shifty’s smile after he thanks Lip for helping dig the foxhole y’all he is PRECIOUS

Shifty is simply a sunshine child he was talking to the nun after the attack on Foy and he just smiled up at her when she talked to him like my BOY🥺

Speirs just fucking watching the motors fall when everyone else is ducking for cover like the bad bitch he is

Luz’s hair during The Patrol. That’s it that’s the tweet.

Skinny’s little “is this bitch serious???” face when Winters says they’re going on another patrol

Perconte deadass just sleeping during Nix’s current events lecture

The entire first like 5 minutes of Points is just Nix and Winters flirting don’t @ me

When Lip and Winters go to tell them that the Germans surrender Speirs goes “Lieutenant Lipton!” like a drunk little kid

The way Grant says “Bastogne” is quite sexy ngl

Bull in a tank top, dog tags and suspenders?? 👀

This is nothing new but I’m crying again because the ending will forever destroy me

Shane Taylor at actor boot camp (pt. 1/3)

[contrabandhothead]

hello! i was wondering if I could get a ship please🥺

• my pronouns are she/her

• I’m 6’2”, green eyes, reddish brown hair

•I love drinking coffee/tea in the early mornin’ watching the sun rise

•history and art are my favorite subjects/ but I love talking politics and human rights

•my friends tell me I seem really chill, but once you get to know me I can be very passionate and energetic

•i love listening to music, singing, and playing my guitar, but I’m a little self conscious in front of people

•my dream is living on a little farm/house with property with the love of my life and some animals

i’m so sorry this took me so long, i had a very busy week... i hope you enjoy this! have a fantastic day cutie 💕

- DICK WINTERS -

- [ general ]

no please listen because this makes s o much sense to me i cannot emphasize how much i like this ship 

we all know at this point that Dick is a morning person, so he often takes his morning swim while you sit on the back porch and drink your coffee 

he watches the sunrise and sunset with you constanly, pointing out all the pretty colors 

really enjoys sleepy morning  cuddles, especially when the light is shining through the window and he doesn’t have anything to do that day

buys you random history books as gifts, along with flowers 

can and will model for art because he looks like a fucking piece of art

will debate politics with you for fun (and in a way that won’t end in an argument), but you both agree on human rights 

honestly, you and Dick are the couple that everyone thinks is so relaxed, but in reality does crazy shit together

he adores when you talk about something you’re passionate about, and he often just stares at you with a soft smile as you ramble

Dick constantly brings up things you enjoy for this reason, and you’ll find yourself talking a lot around him because of it

really enjoys the energetic part of you that only he knows incredibly intimately, and he tells you it’s one of the most beautiful parts of your personality

l o v e s how tall you are

it’s relatively easy for him to kiss you, and he doesn’t have to crane his neck up or down

he compliments your eyes a l o t

Dick constantly tells you that his favorite shade of green is your eye color, and that “if i could be surrounded by that shade of green all day, i would”

listens to music with you

he loves to turn on the radio and slow dance with you

there’s always music playing in your little farmhouse, Dick loves the background noise and lets you pick the music

Dick begs you to sing for him, and he understands that you’re shy but.... he just has to hear it

he tells you he’ll even turn around, as long as you sing him a song

tries to get you to teach him how to play guitar

Dick is actually pretty good at singing, and would love to sing duets with you as you play guitar

he encourages you to become more comfortable singing, and tells you that you’re talented

he would love to live on a farm with you

definitely wants some sort of cat or dog, and begs you to let him get one

that animal becomes so attached to him, and they love to curl up next to you in bed

- [ how you two met ]

you were one of Easy Co.’s medics, working closely alongside Doc Roe when it came to doing your job 

you had only seen Dick around every once in a while, mostly just quick glances from Toccoa to Carentan 

to be honest, you had never had a really long conversation with the man at the time

that was, until Carentan 

a sniper shot had gone off, and the richochet hit Winters’s ankle 

Doc was too busy treating the others, and before you even had the chance to catch your breath after patching up the previous paratrooper, you saw Doc’s face appear in your field of vision looking extremely overwhelmed 

“i need you to patch up Lieutenant Winters while i make rounds with the other guys, he’s got a richochet in his ankle” 

you nodded, turning on your heel to go find the familiar tall redhead sitting down, waiting for someone to help him fix his wound 

spotting his vibrant hair across the sea of men, you made a beeline for him 

quickly setting down your supplies, you got to work, gently lifting his foot into your lap to get a better look at his injury 

“..... are you not going to say anything, Doc?”  

you looked up, eyes snapping to meet his gaze

blushing, you shook your head, mumbling “my apologies, i just was so focused on your wound that i didn’t even introduced myself”

Dick chuckled at that

“i already know who you are”

you ignored this, surprised he even knew your name

“you need to stay off this foot Lieutenant Winters, i wouldn’t want to see you back here because of an injury”

“i’ll try my best, but no promises.... hopefully i’ll see you again soon under better circumstances”

Dick didn’t stay off his foot, in fact it only got worse

but on the bright side, at least he got to see you

5,6,21, and 22 for the BoB asks? :)

Hey, and thanks for the ask! Always appreciated!

5. I will never gloss over this question, because I love my characters, and they're super background so......they don't get a lot of attention. Number one is always Smokey, and I also love McClung and Alley. After reading about them, I went and got attached, and they're like in 3 or 4 episodes each, if that. 😐 Smokey gets shot in the arm and I'm like "It's time to skip to episode 8, do a courtesy glance of Alley in episodes 9 and 10, then we can start it over."

6. I always feel bad saying my least favorite character is Sobel, Dike, or Cobb because, you know...the whole thing where they're real people lol. But as far as characters on the show go, I'd go with Sobel, maybe Dike as a close second. I feel like Cobb and Dike are more redeemable because at least they have some funny moments, but Sobel was just a bully put in charge of a bunch of guys that he could push around. I guess his one redeeming quality was that as long as he was making the company run Currahee or something, he was always right there doing it too. Still don't like him. He yelled at Smokey,

21. Lol my favorite characters are all side characters. I guess I can name some of the other side characters I enjoy. I love Harry, I can't get enough of him, he's hilarious. Also Popeye and Skinny. Skinny's faces in the background are the best, and I feel I make all of them regularly. And Popeye is a gosh darn delight.

22. Oohhh, so many good quotes. The one I always default to is Guarnere saying, "And we gotta do all this with a CO that has his head so far up his ass that lump in his throat is his goddamn nose." I love all the dialogue when Roe visits Toye and McClung in the foxhole, and McClung says, "Ask him to dance, doc." Immediately followed by The Stare. But all of that dialogue is so entertaining.

Thanks again for the ask!!
