god would never give something so painful
Band of Brothers but it's just Gene checking on people
Please help me fund raise for medical bills
Hey y’all I know I’m a total stranger and this is just tumblr, but it’s the only social media I’ve ever been particularly active on and I really need help.
Long story short: I’m very sick, and I might be this way forever. I’ve managed to all but fistfight a get a diagnosis for POTS and EDS, though there are other issues suspected. I have fainting and seizing spells that, in addition to being terrifying, make driving and working impossible.
Basically it’s every American medical story: I have more bills than I’ll ever be able to manage, and no way to deal with them.
I’ve started a GoFundMe to try and deal with the hospital bills I already have, as well as pay for the medicine and mobility aids I need. Please don’t feel any pressure to donate if you can’t, but I would really appreciate it if you did. Every dollar helps and reblogs also go a long way.
Thank you so much. ♥️

This is so fucking funny, apparently “war bad” is liberal propaganda now??? Yes, war IS bad you fucking dipshit.
All Quiet on the Western Front (the original book) was written by a German WWI veteran who was determined to show just how utterly horrifying, disgusting, and senseless the war- and by extension all war- was. The book and its adaptations take great pains to portray the suffering endured by the common soldiers on both sides, who didn’t even really want to fight but were manipulated/forced into it by those in power. The book was even banned in Nazi Germany and the author had to flee the country because the Nazis believed the book was “anti-German” and would hamper their war efforts by showing the German people the real horrors of war.
So in some ways I guess history is repeating itself, more right-wing idiots are hating on this brilliant piece of anti-war media 🙄
my favorite band of brothers behind the scenes tidbit is when they first started filming, all the english boys were putting on these really thick, american regional accents and the people from hbo had to go down there and tell every one to cut it out and use standard american accents because, as damian lewis put it, "it was like people were speaking in tongues."
Am I wrong? ✌🏻✨😗
@softspeirs HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE!! I hope you had a great day yesterday 💙💙

There is a particular Tik Tok I died laughing at while editing…ya’ll guess which one
Things I Wish Were in Band of Brothers
- Shifty and Popeye`s friendship! They met at 18 in vocational school and then served together! Also, there`s a story of them going to a restaurant and Popeye throwing a whole fucking cat at a waiter. Amazing.
- Deleted scenes.
- Skinny telling Sobel “The train was coming, she was coming, and so was I” when he was caught on/near the train tracks with a girl.
- Spina and Roe`s friendship. They had an incredibly interesting job - running around battlefields with nothing to defend themselves in a desperate scramble to save the lives of other men. The physical and mental toll that must have taken on them and the bond that must have grown between them as the only ones in that situation and the only ones who could fully understand each other? Yeah, I need more of that.
- Deleted scenes.
- The incident with Talbert testing just how bulletproof the cars in Zell-am-see were.
- More of the medics in general. Not just Spina and Roe (although I`d kill for more of both of them) but the other medics in Easy Company as well and the dynamics between them all as a group.
- Deleted scenes.
- The fake appendectomy performed on Sobel by unnamed medics. Fantastic. Would love to see Sobel`s reaction to that and know who specifically was responsible.
- A reunion! It would have so wonderful to see the first Easy Company reunion after the war - to see all the boys back together in a civilian setting.
- The deleted scenes.
