Speirs: Give me two reasons why I should not run through this town right now
Lipton: how about NOT RUNNING THROUGH OPEN FIRE AND DYING??
Speirs: okay- I’ll be right back
Any time I listen to Lana Del Rey I imagine David Webster smoking a cigarette in the passenger seat of Liebgotts convertible driving down the streets of California
Nobody:
Norman Dike:
Blithe: *clearly traumatized*
Speirs (an empath): *sensing he might be upset* The only hope you have is to accept the fact you’re already dead

found family trope but they’re misfits, outcasts, and criminals: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is literally band of brothers
Winters: how many krauts do you think we’re facing?
Luz: …. nein
David Webster is 100% behind the accounts on Instagram that posts shit like this:
Easy Company veterans are rolling in their graves at the fact that a solid 40% (or higher) of the fandom are mentally ill and possibly queer women
David Webster??
I hope this pride month is just as chaotic as last pride month for the BoB community on tumblr
The best part of having an obsession with Band Of Brothers was my mother repeatedly asking me if I was actually a lesbian because I seemed to have a massive crush on the men in Easy. To which I’d respond, “im in love with women, non-binary people, and Easy Company”
To remind the 200+ people who follow me that I’m alive I post the most ridiculous stuff on my blog
Ronald Speirs as James Bond thank you and goodnight
Shoutout to all my school friends who follow me on here
Sorry you have to put up with my homoerotic WWII shit.
David Webster is judging all of the Met Gala looks and I’m right there with him.
Dick Winters wouldn’t stand for the Supreme Courts decision. That mf would riot.
David Webster had a blonde hair phase, thank you, goodnight

LOVEFEST POSTING IS OPEN, LOVES!
This means that from now and three weeks forward, people can post their fics, arts, gifs or other types of fills for the world to enjoy!
The collection is closed for new prompts, but you can still claim and fill any prompt that speaks to you until March 7th. So if you’re a creator, there is still time to join in the fun!
A quick update on how filling works, and how to make sure it gets promoted; You can fill a post with a fic, a piece of art, a gifset, edit or any other kind of media. Either do it on the AO3 collection by going to the claimed prompt and clicking “Fulfill” and post it there (AO3 allows non-fic posts, but it’s wise to tag it as #fanart or #gif if you’re not doing a fic)
OR
Post it to tumblr or the public website of your choice! If you do this, make sure to notify us running this blog; You can send us a message here, or message the mods on our Discord, and we will reblog and share your post (or a link to your post if you don’t use Tumblr yourself). We have one mod in America and one in Europe, so we will try to cover most of the hours of the day, but depending on when you message us it might take a couple of hours so you know. <3
You can also use the #Love Fest 2022 hashtag, but this can be slightly unreliable due to the way Tumblr sometimes works, so a message with a post link is a wise choice.
More info on how to claim and post your fills can be found here!
LoveFest Collections on AO3
Happy Valentine’s, and happy posting! <3
Prompting for the 2022 BoB Love Fest is open!
We want to start off by reminding you that in order to prompt, you only need an AO3 account! Simply go to the collection, press the button that says “sign up” and submit your prompts <3
You can find more information about this event and (if you’re not familiar with how prompts on AO3 work) how to participate here, but the essentials are these:
- This is a prompt fest, meaning users submit and claim prompts as they like; every user can submit up to ten prompts, and claim and fill whatever number they please.
- You are free to prompt and claim things even if someone else already has; repetition is not an issue. Maybe you can find a new fandom friend that likes the same things as you?
- Any kind of media is allowed, meaning fic writers, fan artists, gif makers and any other kind of content creator is welcomed with open and enthusiastic arms.
And the timeline is as follows:
January 24th: The AO3 collection is open for prompts! Every person can submit up to 10 prompts, and they are all live to be seen and claimed.
February 14th: The AO3 collection closes for prompts and opens for posting; from now on, any fills of prompts can go live on any platform.
March 7th: The event is over and the AO3 collection closes.

happy prompting, everyone! <3
The 2022 Band of Brothers Lovefest
Hey folks of the Band of Brother fandom!
In celebration of Valentine’s day, we are putting together our SECOND ANNUAL Love Fest prompt event on AO3! Our goal is to create a lovely collection of fics, gifs, art and other splendid Band of Brothers-themed content for Valentine’s day, fuelled by your prompts.
Y’all, it’s year two! We really can’t believe that we get to do this all again with you. And in our excitement, we have decided to not only add a new prompt page and collection, but also open up last year’s prompts for filling. Both collections’ prompts can be claimed and filled, and they will all be listed in the Annual Band of Boyfriends Love Fest collection (navigate to “subcollections” to see every year’s collections!)
We will be sharing all prompts and their fills, be they fic, art, gifs or any other medium, both here as well as on our public Band of Brothers Discord server, to make sure that prompters and creators receive as much attention as they can and deserve (which is a lot).
The only thing you need to participate is an AO3 account, and all kinds of fandom participation is accepted; Fanfic, fan art, gifs, edits and any other types of creation are accepted by us, of any length and size! We welcome prompts that include gen, canon character ships, oc ships (barring that the prompt does not necessitate an artist to know anything outside of canon information), and xreader content.
Check the bottom of this post, under the ‘keep reading’ for information on how to submit prompts and fills. <3 Regardless of what your medium is, promote your work and any favourite prompt you have with the #Bob Love Fest tag, and we will reblog and share it!
The dates on the event are as follows:
January 24th: The AO3 collection is open for prompts! Every person can submit up to 10 prompts, and they are all live to be seen and claimed.
February 14th: The AO3 collection closes for prompts and opens for posting; from now on, any fills of prompts can go live on any platform.
March 7th: The event is over and the AO3 collection closes.
This will give creators a few weeks to find, claim and fill the prompts that they feel spark their lovey hearts, and all of us some time to read and enjoy them! <3
We hope that this will be a fun and inspirational love fest for all of us, and that we as a community will create a lot of lovely things together!
Until Monday, when the event starts, feel free to spread this post and word of the event and we can all hype together. Happy prompting!
/Mods Laura & Maria
HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
1. Prompting
The only thing you need to submit prompts is an AO3 account. Simply go onto our Love Fest Collection over on AO3 and submit your prompts. Every person can submit up to ten prompts, and they can be of any nature, ship and au that you want. Submit your prompt, and it will show up in the collection open for claiming!
If you’re having some trouble figuring out how AO3’s prompt page works, head over to this post and we’ll walk you through it <3
(The collection is currently up, but prompting (called sign-ups on ao3) will not open until January 24th, 01:00 GMT.)
2. Claiming prompts
In order to claim a prompt, you navigate to the ‘Prompts’ section of the AO3 collection, find the prompt you want and press ‘claim’. The prompt has now been claimed! If you accidentally claim a prompt, or don’t think you are able to fulfill it before the timeframe is up, simply press the button to ‘Drop Claim’ and it will be unlisted from your account.
Multiple people are able to claim and fill multiple prompts, and while we do ask you to attempt to first prioritize prompts which no other person has claimed so far, there is no rule that says you must, so go for which ever prompt sparks your interest. <3
As this year we’re opening up the unfilled prompts from 2021, we also highly recommend you check out the 2021 Love Fest collection for any un-filled (or previously filled!) prompts from last year. The claiming and filling process should be the same for that one. As with any prompts, there is absolutely no demand for these prompts to be filled first - we’re just sending everyone this way in the hopes that you may find something that tickles your creative bone! :)
3. Filling prompts
If you are a fic writer, you fill your prompt by pressing the button in the prompt list that says ‘Fulfill’. This will then take you to AO3’s regular posting page, with the prompt included, and you post your work as per usual.
If you are an artist/gif-maker (or some other kind of non-written creator), you can also share your prompt fill on Tumblr.
To do that, simply make your post as per usual, and send a message to the Bob-Events Tumblr with a link to your post and we will reblog it and share it on the platform, as well as over on our BoB discord. After doing this, you can un-claim the prompt on AO3 if you want, or upload your fill there as a pic- or gif fic. The upside to uploading your thing to AO3 anyway is that it’ll give your prompter a little notification in their inbox that their prompt has been filled, which can be neat!
