You got any favourite Buck & Tommy whump fics?

(I am now on a BuckTommy kick bc of you. I hope you are happy with yourself 😂)

Asdfghjkl OH OH! My friend. You have no idea the can of worms you've just opened 👀👏 I take full responsibility for your BuckTommy obsession because I am obsessed with them and I need more friends to be obsessed with the BuckTommy whump with me. But oh my god YES I HAVE RECS FOR YOU!! Did you know that I clicked on the BuckTommy tag on AO3 and, after filtering out the things that squick me out, I went page by page looking and reading any scrap of whump and angst (specifically Tommy focused cause I want him HURT) that I could find? Did you know that that was over 600 AO3 pages of fanfics I went through? And that I bookmarked like 150 individual fics? When I tell I went crazy over these two...I WENT CRAZY. So yes I have fics to rec!

Brace yourself! This gonna be HUGE. And there's more to read on my AO3 bookmarks if you want to look (under aceofwhump)

(I also may have started writing a few of my own inspired by the prompts for BuckTommy whump week that I missed so we'll see if I can finish those because apparently I can't finish a fanfic to save my life lately)

Tommy whump centric

Hold on a little longer and believe I'm here to stay by salty_autistic_writer Summary: "You don't want to know this about me, Evan," Tommy says after a moment of hesitation, his walls cracking for a volatile moment, pain flickering in his eyes before he tries his best to look indifferent again.

Buck feels hurt. "What are you talking about? I'm in love with you, Tommy, I want to know everything about you."

Oh. This was not how and when he wanted to say it.

Buck knows he's in love with Tommy but has a feeling that Tommy is keeping something from him. The inevitable confrontation reveals scars and shows they will have to fight for their happiness together.

TW: suicidal thoughts, suicide attempt,

nothing to worry about by elizabethgee  Summary: It's early in their relationship. Tommy gets hurt, and Buck tries to figure out how to take care of his new boyfriend.

The Path to Burnout, Anxiety, High Emotions, and Really Missing Your Boyfriend By Tommy Kinard by bccw13  Summary: Three weeks of misaligned schedules, picking up shifts, helping or hanging out with friends and family, Tommy was exhausted. A particular bad day at the end of a long three weeks has Evan helping his man let it all out.

When evening falls so hard by xanthippe74 Summary: Tommy remained silent for the entire ride home, and when they were stopped at a red light, Buck glanced over and saw that he had propped his elbow on the door in order to cover his eyes with one hand. Light sensitivity, Buck told himself. A common concussion symptom. Tommy definitely wouldn’t be crying in Buck’s truck right now. Not unflappable, confident Tommy.

There was something going on with him—something more than being shaken up by an accident.

Three weeks after their disastrous post-breakup hookup, Buck gets an unexpected call from Tommy.

The Devil Doesn't Bargain by torturedslothdepartment Summary: Tommy Kinard lived a whole life before he walked into Evan Buckley's life, and it's not one that he's offered up much of so far. Until Evan starts asking questions.

TW: graphic depictions of rape/sexual assault, abuse, military abuse, self harm, suicide attempt.

grayscale mountains of monotone thoughts by xTarmanderx Summary: Tommy’s depression gets the better of him after a rough shift.

Focus by firewasabeast Summary: “Focus. Focus, focus, focus, focus.” The words stumbled out of his mouth unconsciously. His fingers tapped against his thigh rapidly. His eyes were wide but hazy; blearily searching for something to center on but coming up empty.

“Focus, focus, focus.”

He was sweating. It dripped down his forehead, off his eyebrow, to his cheek. It tickled as it ran over his nose. It gave him chills on the back of his neck.

“Focus, focus.”

His leg shook, bouncing up and down anxiously. It was hard to breathe. Hard to breathe the way he needed to breathe anyway. He could only inhale part of the way, short and stunted exhales making him dizzy.

He could hear people yelling at him. Could hear them calling his name.

They might as well have been speaking a foreign language.

A tunnel to crawl through by prufrocks Summary: Evan sits back on his haunches, unweighting Tommy's legs, and he feels like maybe he could float away from here, unmoored as he is from the bed, from the situation. He's in trouble now, or he will be in a few seconds, but for just this moment he's removed from the forces of gravity, and it feels nice.

"Tommy," Evan says, a tremor in his voice, and that's enough to bring Tommy rocketing back down to Earth. "That wasn't a sext, was it."

Tommy makes a decision. Buck meets him halfway.

TW: suicide attempt

White Noise by seisirasei Summary: Tommy never meant to chase after the call—he certainly never meant to get buried under a crumbling house with too many regrets and a body giving out beneath him. But one bad feeling led to a collapse, a broken leg, and a 9-1-1 call he almost didn’t make.

With Maddie on the line and the 118 closing in, Tommy confronts more than just the pain.

Threshold by seisirasei Summary: Excerpt: Tommy stumbled to the door, every step a battle against the waves of heat and exhaustion that threatened to pull him under. When he opened the door, he thought he must be hallucinating.

“Ev—” he tried to say, but his throat was too dry, his voice too weak. He swayed on his feet, his vision blurring.

“Tommy!”

What You Wanted, What I Needed by seisirasei Summary: One desperate night forces Tommy to confront his broken pieces—and the one person who’s always willing to be there to hold him together.

Excerpt: "Why not me?" Tommy whispered, his voice breaking, tears streaming down his face. "Why can’t I be enough for you?"

Buck cupped Tommy’s face, his thumbs brushing away the tears. "Tommy," he said softly, his own voice trembling, "you’ve always been enough. You just have to believe it."

the air it hurts by Anonymous Summary: After Tommy gets hurt in a near-fatal accident, he learns that there are some things he doesn't have to be afraid of. And that he no longer has to feel jealous of the family he left before it became one.

Hang on 'til the hurt is gone by tabbytabbytabby Summary: After a long shift, all Tommy wants is to spend the next two days off with his boyfriend. Unfortunately, a bout of food poisoning threatens to derail that, but Evan is there to help him through it.

Throw Me In The Deep End by MustLoveTommy Summary: It's a great day for Buck since he will get to spend the next two days with Tommy. Unfortunately, Tommy sends him a message that changes all their plans.

TW: depression

The Fire in the Fall by writerdot Summary: The air feels suffocating and even through his turnouts, the heat is reaching unbearable levels and they haven’t even entered the complex yet. He looks at the burning building in front of him and sighs, thinking that he would pick today, one of the worst days he’s had in a long time, to volunteer to help with ground ops.

Or: Tommy Kinard has a very bad day.

Sick of It by firewasabeast Summary: In which Tommy gets sick, and he and Buck head towards making up.

The Things I Cannot Change by firewasabeast Summary: Buck thought he and Tommy knew everything about each other. Thought their relationship was as solid as ever. Until Gerrard mentions a military operation from Tommy past, and a confirmation from Eddie makes Buck realize he might not know Tommy at all.

TW: depression

No Man Left Behind by firewasabeast Summary: Eddie linked his hands together. “This is gonna hurt like hell,” he warned before using all of his strength to pull Tommy out of the helicopter.

The scream that escaped Tommy as Eddie pulled on him could have taken him right back to Afghanistan, if he'd let it. A guttural scream that verged on sounding more like an animal than a human.

“I know, I know,” Eddie soothed even as he continued to drag Tommy across the wet, muddy ground. “Gotta keep going. I think it's gonna blow.”

Tommy tried to look up toward the sky, focus on the clouds, the trees overhead, the sun trying to poke through. But the pain was too much, so he squeezed his eyes shut and opened his mouth wide and let himself yell in a way he'd never yelled before. His arms dropped to the side, fingernails scrapping through the mud and leaves as Eddie pulled and tugged and said things that Tommy couldn't bother to hear over his own cries.

Hold me on my bad day by bidisasterevankinard Summary: Tommy had a bad day, has an awful morning he starts as blanket burrito, but his boyfriend's cuddles make it better

The Weight of the Past by adoctoraday Summary: Sometimes the weight of the past is just too much to carry alone--and now, Tommy has Evan to help him shoulder this burden.

a fevered blur by aceanx Summary: Buck is a damn good firefighter. He knows every piece of equipment and what it does back to front, he’s able to get dressed in under thirty seconds, and his overall response time is pretty damn quick, in his eyes. He’s aced every test he’s done for the academy, even when he had to get cleared for duty multiple times, and he’s read the manuals backward and forward more times than he cares to admit.

He’s put blood, sweat and tears into this job. He loves nothing more than being a firefighter. His concern is never about himself on the job. He knows he’s capable and he knows even if something were to happen, he would be alright. He can handle the strain of the job. He’s nearly died several times and has actually died once, after all. If getting struck by lightning hasn’t scared him away from the job, nothing will.

Buck’s a damn good firefighter, except when it comes to his loved ones getting hurt.

That’s the one thing he can’t handle.

another "buck finds out tommy's chopper has crashed" and cue panic.

You Ask How I'm Doing Like You Knew What Was Wrong by Snaptic Summary: Eddie saw Tommy freeze as the first string of fireworks went off in the distance. He had flinched, and his quick scan of the yard had brought his attention to his friend, who had gone so still he could be a statue.

OR

Tommy finds a sense of belonging with the 118. In Buck's absence, Eddie steps up.

I Am The Broken, I Am The Wound by NeverlandPoet (do_androids_dream) Summary: Buck found Tommy in the bathroom, a dark shade crouching next to the shower, clasping his knees. He dropped down, put the phone aside and let its light illuminate parts of the ceiling. It was enough to see Tommy’s face, absolutely frightened, eyes wide open, staring into the void. He was panting way too fast, close to hyperventilating. Buck knew these signs.

“Tommy. Hey. Look at me, okay? I’m here,” he whispered, his voice hoarse for some reason. “What... what's going on?”

“I don't know,” Tommy said, almost sobbing, “I don't know, I just don't know.”

Microsleep by salty_autistic_writer Summary: After showing up at the hospital after his long and hard shift, Tommy is so tired he's experiencing microsleeps. Buck drives him home. (Written for Whumptober Day 8: Sleep Deprivation)

The Bracelet She Wore by space_cadet09 Summary: Buck and Tommy enjoy a relaxed day exploring LA. Their peaceful outing takes a dramatic turn when they witness a violent crime on the street. As Buck springs into action to help the victim, Tommy is overwhelmed by a traumatic memory from his childhood. This event forces Tommy to confront the deep pain of his past. As Buck supports Tommy through this emotional journey, their bond deepens, showcasing their love and mutual support.

The Fire is Inside the House by Writer_Lethogica Summary: Evan "Buck" Buckley is fighting a wildfire with the 118, when he sees a helicopter crash - the helicopter of his boyfriend, Tommy Kinard. It's a race against time to find Tommy before the wildfire hits the crash site. Part 6 of Denial-verse

thursday's child has far to go by vincerets Summary: Tommy laughs, as much as it can be called a laugh when he can barely get the air to do it, but his breath still grazes against Buck’s lips, the ghost of what he really wants. It’s warm, and Tommy’s still looking at him, and it’s been eighteen days, and he’s baked on nearly every one of them. They’re in a crashed helicopter and Tommy’s pinned down and it’s a terrible idea and it’s been eighteen days, he’s counted every one, and-Buck kisses him. Tommy's helicopter goes down. Buck copes. Kind of. Hey - he never said he was coping well.

Please, I've Been On My Knees (Change The Prophecy) by unhingedangstaddict Summary: Tommy leaned against a tree and tried to catch his breath. It wasn’t exactly easy between the intense heat, thick smoke, and the painful ache in his ribcage. He guessed it had to be at least seven or eight broken ribs, but he wasn’t a doctor nor was he going to poke around at his chest and try to figure it out- it didn’t matter anyway. His head was throbbing in pain and his limbs felt incredibly heavy. The ringing in Tommy’s ears hadn’t stopped, and the pain in his shoulder and arm was getting worse and worse.

But Evan was waiting for him.

This was not how Evan Buckley would turn out to be his last.

Tommy pushed himself up off the tree he’d been leaning against and continued walking.

I See the Memories (and the Tragedies) by DarkAliceLilith Summary: “C-can’t b-breathe.”

“What happened? Do you need help?”

“N-Nightmare. A-a-army.” He could barely get words out, his brain not even really caring that he had called the wrong person.

Unbroke hearts like yours (what'd you wanna waste that on me for) by allthefandoms84 Summary: Tommy has regretted leaving Buck almost the instant he left that fateful night but he doesn't believe he is worthy of being in Buck's life. Tommy is hurting after the break up but refuses to allow his friends to see how much he misses his Evan. After an accident leaves Tommy hurt he still refuses any help during his recovery until Buck bullies his way back into Tommy's life. Refusing to believe they are truly over Buck has his work cut out for him convincing Tommy he deserves good things.

all this love i've thrown away by jamesandanthony Summary: The first thing Tommy notices upon coming back to his senses is the cold.

Despite the rain, he doesn't remember the day being particularly cool when he'd left for work that morning so he cracks open his eyes to take stock of what is almost certainly some kind of situation with a capital S.

Ah yes.

The ground had swallowed him up as he'd landed.

Silly of him to forget.

Dear Agony by NeverlandPoet (do_androids_dream) Summary: BuckTommyWhumpWeek, Day 5: Hypothermia

walls come crumbling down by writerdot Summary: Buck and Tommy are trapped in a building collapse. Because of course they are.

Buck whump centric

Because Evan Buckley was loved. by Emaisnialleraf Summary: Based off my twitter prompt : Another flash of lightning shoots across the room as arms around his waist draw him closer. He feels Tommy press a sleepy kiss against his curls. "S'okay, sweetheart." A heavy palm trails softly across his back to calm the trembling. "I'm right here."

Give Me Tonight by Lostintheuniverseslies Summary: Buck didn’t want to jump. Not at first. Sitting on the edge of a condemned high-rise, tequila warming his veins and quieting his thoughts, he wonders if making the silence permanent wouldn’t be so bad. Then Tommy shows up—blue flight suit, steady hands, and a voice that refuses to let him disappear.

TW: depression, suicidal thoughts, suicide attempt

a vessel, tempest driven by saintsurvivor Summary: Sent to a medical call at an elderly couple's bungalow with reports of a suspected heart attack and the victim having been trapped against the front door, the 118 hits tragedy midway through a twenty four hour shift.

A roaring sound, rhythmic and constant, a heavy breeze that just touches him. Buck turns towards it, magnetized. “You’re alright, son,” Bobby tells him, orders him, as if Bobby could simply stop time and death and Buck’s own body in its tracks. “You’re gonna be just fine.” The blue and red lights of the Ladder Truck, illuminating the street, but still Buck’s eyes threaten failure, blurring until it melts into one.

Both Buck and Tommy get whumped

Hold My Hand, I'll Walk With You My Dear by salty_autistic_writer Summary: Everything’s been nice so far. Nice and cosy. Buck has been feeling content and he does like the movie. He’s snuggled up to Tommy, who radiates body heat. He even was considering putting his head on Tommy’s shoulder. But now, Buck suddenly can’t focus on the movie anymore. Another full-body shiver catches him. His mind feels foggy and floaty. And somehow, he feels a restlessness settling in that absolutely makes no sense in this situation.

Stunned, Buck realizes that he’s scared.

Or: 5 times Buck and Tommy talk about their fears and 1 time they defeat fear together.

All the Pain by NeverlandPoet (do_androids_dream) Summary: When an auspicious evening ends in disaster, Buck and Tommy are left to suffer the unexpected consequences. (BuckTommyWhumpWeek)

Evan’s in front of him in an instant.

“Tommy,” Evan says, voice insistent and when he looks up, Evan is shaking, hard, and...is that water?

Evan’s covered in it, from head-to-toe, curls plastered to his forehead. Tommy can feel himself shaking now, freezing, his body aches and he’s wet too, what the hell?

“Tommy,” Evan is insistent. “Tommy, baby, I need you to wake up!”

Or: Buck and Tommy are in a little predicament.

Lost and Found by nine_one_wanton Summary: Tommy retreats mentally and geographically after Bobby’s death. While still processing his own series of losses, Buck goes out to try to bring Tommy back.

[incorrectmahabharatquotes]

I see so many hindutva wadis arguing that caste system is a foreign concept and hinduism only had the varna system. As if the varna system was fair? Also isn't caste derived from the varna system? Like brahmins and Kshatriyas became upper castes, vaishyas became obc and shudra were dalits?

I had the impression that the caste system was the documentation of people who already belonged to the varna system. Do correct me if I'm wrong.

It's a little more complicated than that. Currently, we live under the jaati(or jāti) system broadly speaking. When people talk about the caste system in modern India, it is this system superimposed on the varna system that they are referring to. Functionally, the caste system now is a hybrid of the two systems.

The Varna system and the Jaati System are both systems of social hierarchy.

As everyone is already aware, under the varna system, the society is divided into four categories(i.e. brahmins, kshatriyas, vaishyas and shudras) which are hierarchical in nature and mentioned in the various ancient religious texts. Crucially important to this system is the existence of a fifth category, the untouchables(I assume you're already aware of the practice of untouchability) and the outsiders(often termed as "mlechhas", which is now a derogatory xenophobic{and casteist!} slur coming back into popular use thanks to the resurgence of regressive ideas under hindutva politics). These are important to mention because the marginalization of these people was based on them being an out-group i.e. not part of the varna system. People claim the varnas were mutable based on a handful of examples in said texts but I would like to point out that those examples are said to be exceptions rather than the rule.

The Jaati System would be more familiar to you in terms of lived experience. Under this system, society is divided into socio-ethnic endogamous groups or communities and each of the groups have different socio-economic standing in society. The practice of endogamy(marriage limited to within a social group) is important to this system as there is emphasis on one's birth. This is why people say that intermarriage is the most significant step towards dismantling the entire system, but I digress. Prior to the colonization of India, these groups worked on a purely social basis of privilege and exclusion. Villages and cities were(and still are!) segregated based on these jatis. One's occupation was defined by their birth as long as they lived in their specific society.

I would like to emphasize that this system existed and thrived even before the colonisers ever came knocking on the subcontinent's doors. We can find mentions of the system in the historical accounts of both people of the subcontinent and travellers from outside. A study of people's DNA by some scholars claims that the endogamous groups can be traced back to as far as the Gupta Empire(mid 3rd century to mid 6th century CE).

The assertion that the caste system is a purely colonial fabrication is absurd. People point to the term "caste" as being of foreign origin but the term "jaati" already existed and was in use. "Caste" is just another way of referring to jaatis.

Now on to some legitimacy hidden in the nonsensical claims, in the 1901 census of the subcontinent, the British bureaucracy fit the various jatis under the broad classification of the four varnas. It was not a clean fit, leaving many in an awkward position of having been classified wrongly. This is their fault. Not the construction of the system but rather the wrongful categorisation of it.

Officially, there are over 3,000 castes and 25,000 sub-castes in India. Take these numbers with a grain of salt because there are many unregistered castes and sub-castes to this day fighting their own battles of legal recognition.

The castes do not cleanly map onto the varnas. There are many castes who are in the upper strata of the hierarchy in one region and the lower strata in different regions. The system is incredibly nuanced and complex and our current legal systems have not caught up to the sophistication required to deal with it because of the people in power's adamant insistence of ignoring the system simply because they profit off of the oppression of others.

I don't want to add to the miscategorization but I feel like I should correct you on the fact that broadly speaking shudras are classified more under OBCs. (Please keep in mind that this not a clear category and there can be some castes who are said to be shudra who can be other categories as well.) There's much to be said about that because there's no distinction made between the land owner castes and the landless castes. And no, the creamy layer is not a good marker either.

There are some castes(1,108 of them to be exact) who were listed as scheduled castes(SC) in the Constitution of India for affirmative action. This was done to socially reform the country and help those in the marginalized sections of society to gain social mobility. The hope was to remove caste discrimination. As we know, it wasn't successful because caste discrimination still exists and caste based violence is on the rise again.

The term dalit is a contemporary word for the untouchable castes who were and are subjected to despicable discrimination in society.

The reason that I say that we now function under a hybrid of the two systems is that the superimposition of the varna system over the jaati system has been accepted and in many cases, embraced by the people now. You will find many a "upper caste" people proudly flaunting their Brahmin or kshatriya identities. The varna system is now interlinked with the jaati or the caste system whether we like it or not.

The system is complicated and fucked. We should get rid of it, guys. And with your help, you can make that dream a reality.

do you think if he didn’t have Charlie to think about, Danny would’ve gone with Steve?

Oh man that is such a good question. I'm not sure. I feel like by that moment Danny was pretty damn happy with his life, including living in Hawaii. He had a family (both blood and not blood), a job he's good at and enjoys and is proud of, and he's found things to love about Hawaii. He even mentions the ocean as being a positive which is such a huge turn around from when he first arrived on the island. Danny was very settled and happy in his life in Hawaii. If Danny was 100% physically healthy/healed and he didn't have Charlie I still don't know for sure if he'd go with Steve. Maybe. It's not like he hasn't followed Steve before. Always when Steve needed him most. But those times feel different to me because he knew they'd be back. Heck half of the reason why he went was to bring Steve back in the first place. This feels more permanent (even though I know in my heart that Steve is absolutely returning. There's just no "when"). I also feel like Danny wouldn't leave the team alone for an undisclosed amount of time. I guess I feel like he wouldn't have gone with Steve. I can however see him, after a month or so, finding the neanderthal and dragging him home finally. That's a very Danny thing to do.

what's soulbonding?

Honestly I'm not 100% sure but I know some of the definitions (if I get anything wrong please correct me freely)

From what I know a soulbond is a deep spiritual or emotional connection to another being, and for some people that includes their F/Os. It's a really deep and personal connection that feels different from other types of attraction, and can be platonic/romantic/etc. It's like a more intense type of soulmate from what I know

Again, I'm only speaking off of what I remember, so anyone who knows better than me please feel free to explain as you'd like, but I hope my guesstimate helps even a little!

[musingsofahistorymajor]

really have to thank the algorithm for putting your blog on my dash 🥰

& with that - hello!

will read through your review of “the six triple eight” later (exited for that, in terms of accuracy, even though i thoroughly enjoyed the movie ☺️👀) … but since you pointed out the scarcity of movies/ tv shows featuring the women during ww2 (& probably ww1, too), do you have any recs that fall into that category? or overall, what others did you enjoy?

have a nice day! 💖

Hi there!!! I'm glad you found me!! Welcome!

If after you read my long Six Triple Eight post you have any questions or wanna chat let me know! I love the WACs. I love the 6888th. I love talking about the WACs. Happy to chat.

Oh my god YES. YES I DO HAVE RECS. I devour all media with Women in WWII. Scarce as it may be. And finding a halfway decent representation is even harder to find. Here are some I really enjoy. They aren't perfect but I enjoyed them a lot.

Bomb Girls

Bomb Girls is about the story of the women who joined a munitions factory in Canada during WWII. It's so good.

Lee

This just came out and yeah there were some mistakes/liberties taken but what movie doesn't at this point and it's about Lee Miller who is incredible and Kate Winslet killed it. Definitely give it watch.

All Creatures Great and Small

While not directly about women in the war, this show is one of my FAVORITES. It starts pre war and then goes into the war as the season move on. It's based on the book series that follow the adventures of James Herriot, a Scottish veterinary surgeon, who moves to Yorkshire in the 1930s/1940s. The women in this show are amazing. Helen runs her family farm. Mrs. Hall is the housekeeper but she basically runs everything and I adore her. You can see the homefront side of the war really well here.

The Land Girls (1998 film)

The film is about three young women from very different walks of life join the Women's Land Army during World War II and are sent to work together on a farm in Dorset.

There's also a tv series about the WLA called Land Girls but I freaking hated that show. Way too many inaccuracies and the way the women are portrayed made me so angry. This movie is far from perfect but I liked it enough.

Home Fires

Okay so I haven't watched Home Fires yet but my mom has and she's as into wwii women's history as I am and she said I absolutely should put this on the list.

Home Fires is about group of women living in a rural Cheshire village during World War II who face the challenges of the home front during the war including rationing, the dangers of German bombing, and their loved ones going off to war.

A League of Their Own (the tv series AND the original movie)

Watch both of these!! I love them both so much!! I'm still so mad the show was cancelled.

A League of Their Own is about the women who joined the All American Girls Professional Baseball League and both the movie and the show are excellent. I mean the movie is a classic and I love it but the tv series goes into aspects of the League that the movie never touched. Like the women of color who weren't allowed to join the league and instead joined the men's leagues. And the fact that a lot of the women in the league were lesbians.

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Based on a book, this movies is set in 1946. "A London-based writer begins exchanging letters with residents on the island of Guernsey, which was German-occupied during WWII. Feeling compelled to visit the island, she starts to get a picture of what it was like during the occupation." This movie is so good I cry every time. You get a look at life on the homefront and in a German occupied area. Lily James, Jessica Brown Findlay, Penelope Wilton, and Katherine Parkinson are all amazing and play such amazing female characters. Definitely watch it.

Charlotte Gray

"A young Scottish woman joins the French Resistance during World War II to rescue her Royal Air Force boyfriend who is lost in France."

World on Fire

This one is hard show to watch but it's soo good. And it goes into some really interesting aspect of women's history. You've got homefront, military, resistance. France, Britain, Germany. Allied. Axis. A lot of roles are shown and it's impressive.

A Call To Spy

This movie is about the female members of the British SOE. Female spies! This one made me excited because the characters are Noor Inayat Khan, Virginia Hall, and Vera Atkins. Three real life female spies during the war.

So Proudly We Hail (1943)

About US Army Nurses in the Pacific

Keep Your Powder Dry (1945)

A debutante (Lana Turner), a serviceman's bride (Susan Peters) and a girl (Laraine Day) from a military family join the Women's Army Corps.

And now I'm gonna give two WW1 recs too:

Anzac Girls

I adore this tv series so much. It's incredible. This is based on the Australian and New Zealand Army Nursing Service. Starts with their service in Egypt and then extends to France and the Greek Island Lemnos.

The Crimson Field

This tv series focuses on the VADs and other medical personnel who served in the field hospitals. SO GOOD! Still bitter it was cancelled.

I know I'm missing something but I'll leave off there for now. If I think of more I'll let you know!!

Would it be okay to share WIP shots of art during the process, or is that not allowed because artists need to stay anonymous before claims? Just wanted to check haha, no worries either way.

Hi Nonnie!

Sharing snippets of your WIP art and fic outside of the Discord server is not allowed before September's reveal.

You can share both inside the Discord server after claims have taken place. We want things to remain anonymous prior to that.

what is your favorite scene between mike and briggs on graceland? :)

Ahh hi friend!!! Oh my god I have been thinking about this ask for AGES! It's so hard to pick my fav because Paul and Mike have so many scenes that make me feral. Their relationship is insane and there's so many scene that make me rage and make me smile and god how do I pick ONE!?

So since I can't narrow it down to 1 I'm going to share my favorite 2 and I think this will really highlight my bias towards Mike whump 😂

First up is when Mike gets stabbed. The way Briggs takes care of him here is everything to me and the fear and pain on Mike's face but that little nod cause he believes Briggs when he says he'll be all right. (ahh early Mike when he was so full of trust.) The touches though, THE TOUCHES. The soft way Briggs touches Mike's face to soothe him, the way he lays down the rag and holds Mike's hand. UGH I LOVE IT

And how can I NOT talk about 3x08. I think I'm physically incapable of not talking about 3x08 when someone asks me about Graceland lol. Look we've got the hand holding while Mike cries on the bed because he hurts and just want to feel better. The forehead kiss once Mike wakes up in the ice bath? The part before the detox when Briggs is handcuffing him and telling he can do this? Kill me now.

Other notable scenes include:

Mike punching Briggs in the face. I cheered so fucking much when he did that.

(gif belongs to @iammorethanmemory and you can find it in this fabulous gifset. Give it some love!)

When Briggs chokes him out and then pretends it wasn't him but he holds his hand. I love it okay?

Would you also have the same issue if the masjid was built instead of the mandir? then I agree with it otherwise not

Yes, if I lived in a Muslim majority country and masjid was being built and communal hatred was being incited against the country's minorities in the name of said building, I'd be saying the same thing. OBVIOUSLY. If something is wrong, it's wrong. Unlike some people, my stance on human rights doesn't change because they happen to belong to a different label.

On a different note, why are people always doing this strange what-aboutery? Do they think the situation changes just because you change the arbitrary labels? Or do people want a "gotcha!" moment for me?

are you doing momoharuweek 2024?

Hello, I apologize for the late reply!

Unfortunately we will not be able to run momoharu week this year. There's been a lot of other IRL responsibilities that have taken most of my focus and admittedly, being the sole mod working on this project has been rather stressful.

I would like to host it again, maybe next year. I'll make sure keep everyone updated if something happens again however.

In the meantime if you're interested, the Japanese fandom has a Momoharu Day on October 8th (10/08)!
