If we interacted for the first time today via boops and are unlikely to run into each other again because we don't have the same fandom niches I just want you to know our boop bond is real and if I ever see you randomly come across my dash I'll think to myself "aww my boop bud" and send you warm thoughts and good vibes

“It was an October night in 1940. We lived in Plaistow and were struck by a bomb when we were in our Anderson shelter. We were all buried alive. I felt my hand was free and managed to pull myself out. I saw my mother’s legs and began pulling her. I was calling out for help. There was a massive crater where my father and fiancé had been sleeping. My father was blown three houses away and my fiancé was in a nearby garden. My father was dead. I never knew what parts were in the coffin. My fiancé was screaming in pain. He, my two brothers, my sister, myself and Mum were all taken to hospital. My fiancé died. I went to Dad’s funeral, but Mum was away in another part of town in hospital, having operations on both of her legs. My fiancé was buried the next day. I went to that.”

whump 101, and still my favourite trope
because you guys seemed to really like Part 1
In a crowd
In private, where there's no one to make sure they wake up again
At the dinner table
In a ballroom
In the middle of dancing. Does their partner catch them? Let them fall?
After resetting their own bones
In a window, after pulling themself through
On the way to their own execution
Lifting/Holding up something that could crush them and/or someone else
Holding up something that could crush Whumper....hmm
While donating blood to a blood bank
While being a blood bank...
Doing physical labor against their will
Right as they realize they've been poisoned by someone they trust
Fighting a fast-acting sedative, knowing it's no use
Leaning in to smell something but oops! it's chloroform
Accidentally sedating/poisoning themself
Coming down from a drug-induced high
Leaning against the shoulder of a stranger
You are cordially invited to join us in watching Band of Brothers, The Pacific, and Masters of the Air in chronological order April 29 - July 14, 2024.
We will be watching three episodes a week and will have prompts to boost fandom creation as we watch together!
You can find the episode schedule and prompts below the cut. Individual posts can be found here and here if you prefer shorter posts.
If you are unable to watch the show at the same time as the schedule, no worries. While we are personally planning to liveblog together the episodes per the schedule, we understand everyone has lives outside of tumblr. Watch whenever you are able - our goal is to bond over our love for these shows and experience them again together. Pop in when you are able! :)
Please tag all your posts during this event with #hboww2rewatch and give us a follow for all updates on the rewatch.
Please reblog this post to spread the word!
