Heyyyy sweet thangggg, you know I gotta drop in for the ask game!! My OCs name is Vienna, you already knowwww. She’s got severe daddy and mommy issues, but she’s tough as nails with a hidden heart of gold. She’s dark haired and bright eyed and is an officer with a military/WW2 father so like she kinda has this whole facade of “it’s not bad until I literally drop dead”. She’s made up of pure determination and spite because she’s spent her whole life being told she would never be enough so she’s just…wild and rageful but also just wishes she could be the softy she really is, regardless of how deep it is buried under a tough woman exterior. She’s seemingly confident and headstrong which helps cover the fact that she has some deep rooted issues. Her nickname is Venom, which comes from her blunt and sometimes harsh reactions to the enlisted men getting on her nerves, in which she is known to get pretty grumpy but also incredibly witty in her responses. She’s a replacement Lieutenant in easy company after she was taken from her position as an army officer.

For those of you unaware, I opened up this inbox game in September to celebrate one year of writing my longfic. While I am not taking anymore submissions, one of the submissions in my inbox will be posted every week at 12pm EST! I hope you enjoy reading about all these lovely characters I'm being allowed to play with.

We’ve talked about Vienna and Daisy before so yanno, don’t want to be a cheater, but you know who we haven’t talked about? Vienna and Patricia “Bleeding Heart, Sweet As Pie” Kegley, and I, personally, think they would make a really fun balancing act. Someone harsh and wild and determined coming into contact with someone who’s really good at disarming people (even if Patty… doesn’t wholly realize she has that effect on people). For those of you who don't know, you can find the masterlists for Vienna's story here, now, without further ado, Just hear me out for a second:

Good old fashioned war wounds — we get a lot of those in SBT, it’s inevitable that people are going to get hurt and when you have a bunch of medics running around doing the damn thing: you tend to get closer to the people who are patching you up.

Enter Patty, who’s so soft and quiet and fumbling with a sense of who she is. And then enter Vienna, who thinks it’s not bad until she’s dead.

And Patty’s never been the type to raise her voice, but there’s something about that mentality that she just can’t sit and twiddle her thumbs about.

Relative rank is good for something after all — and part of it has to be that she can raise her voice and demand Vienna sits down with minimal consequence. And it really is a sight to see, considering it’s usually Rita who does the yelling. Flush-cheeked and huffy, she’s going to tend to Vienna’s wound that first time and huff about how dead officers can’t prove anything to anyone.

And then she’ll apologize after the fact, for the yelling, and for the muttered thinkpiece as well — but truthfully I can’t imagine Vienna minding her directness.

And I think this is the beginning of a new part of the routine for Patty, that being: check in on Easy’s Lady Lieutenant, because Christ knows if she’ll ever come willingly.

There’s a certain irony here, considering she tends to spook fairly easily when it comes to the snappy, blunt types, but also she figures since she raised her voice a bit and lived to tell the tale, she’s already overcome the hard part of approaching Lieutenant Matthews.

In comes: the disarming, the easy smiles, Patty’s ability to shed a little optimism onto the bleak situations they find themselves in time and time again. You can be softer around her, Vienna, it’s fine. This is, in the most serious way possible, a safe space, and rest assured Patty won’t be the one to spill the beans about the sound of your laugh, or the fact that you have an ability to laugh.

#I adore this #I’m gonna be completely honest I forgot about me sending this in #but I was not at all disappointed by it #because this was vividly imprinted into my mind as soon as I read it #ilyyyyyy poeeeee x

BoB written crack!

This is if @malarkgirlypop and @brassknucklespeirs were sent back in time to be with the HBO BoB men, a series:

“Kate! Kate!” Babe and Grant ran up to Kate as she sat in her foxhole recovering after the bombing that had just occurred.

“Yeah?” Kate asked, peering out of her hole. Babe and Grant panted from their run, hands on their knees catching their breath.

“We can’t find Bella? Have you seen her?” Babe asked, looking concerned. Kate shook her head no.

“Oh actually.” She said as she climbed out of the foxhole. “I can find her, hold on.” Kate straightened as Babe and Grant watched her. They were about to set off waiting for Kate to join in on the search, but she stood still. They looked at her curiously as she cupped her hands around her mouth.

“Can I get a Hoooyahhhh?” Kate shouted loudly into the woods. Babe and Grant looked at each other perplexed. She raised her finger, signaling for them to wait.

“Hoooyahhh!” Bella’s voice could be heard shouting in the distance.

“There you go! She’s fine.” Kate smiled before happily skipping past the men.

—-----------------------------------

“Ok Babe, put your hands on the top of your ribs.” Bella moved Babe’s hands into the correct position. “Bring your elbows forward.” Babe did as she asked. Kate watched with amusement as Bella manhandled Babe. “Then shrug your shoulders. Perfect. I love it!” Bella grinned happily with her work.

“Ok now when I rap, you have to jerk your head around while nodding vigorously.” Babe looked very confused, but the two girls were very convincing. They had told him it was fun, so surely it would be.

“Ok are you ready?” Bella asked Babe who was still holding the strange pose. He nodded, looking slightly nervous. Kate just grinned, her face hurting from how hard she was smiling.

“Is this the thanks I get for putting you bitches on? Is it my fault that all of you bitches gone? Shoulda sent a thank you note, you little ho’. Now Imma wrap your coffin with a bow.” Bella rapped, as Babe tried his best to follow the instructions given to him.

Kate roared with laughter watching Babe, his head hardly moved from side to side, but still shook furiously. It looked as if he was seizing, his eyes somehow rolling into the back of his head. Bella tried her best to continue the rap, but collapsed to the floor with Kate.

“I can’t breathe!” Kate screeched holding her belly, as Bella laughed so hard no noise left her mouth. Tears rolled down Bella’s cheeks. Babe stopped his movements watching the girls rolling on the floor in fits of giggles. Bella and Kate tried their best to stop their laughter only for high pitched noises and grunts to leave their lips, sending them into more hysterics.

All the while Babe was very confused at what he had done to make them lose their minds.

“Did I do it right?” He asked, wanting the approval of his friends. He was met with wordless nods, and more cackling.

—--------------------------------------

Bella sat in her foxhole, tears slipping down her cheeks, as she cried silently.

“Bella? Bella, what's wrong?” Toye asked as he slipped into the hole beside her. His hands found her face, turning her towards him.

“I miss them.” She sobbed loudly.

“Who?” Toye asked, so that he could comfort her properly.

“Satoru and Suguru!” Bella wailed, tilting her head back to cry more.

“Who?” Toye asked confused, “Who the fuck are Satonyou and Subaru?”

“Oh, Toye!” Kate called jumping into the foxhole. She smiled brightly at the man. It confused him, since this was her best friend and she was clearly distraught.

“Don’t worry I got this.” She moved to sit by Bella, who leaned against her, burying her face into her neck.

“We don’t gotta be in love, no. I don’t gotta be the one, no. I just wanna be one of your girls tonight.” Kate sang to Bella. Bella removed her face from Kate’s neck, a smile tugging at her lips, as she continued the song from where Kate had stopped singing.

“And when I walk in, all that I wanna hear. Is you say, “Daddy’s home, home for me.” Bella danced as she sang, clearly not sad anymore. Toye watched as she raised her hand, dipping her head to the same side she moved her hand. Her tongue poked out the side of her now smiling mouth. Toye gaped at Bella, totally baffled by the sudden change in emotion.

“What the fuck?” Toy uttered, the two girls laughing, as Bella pulled stupid faces.

“What is wrong with you two?” Toye asked genuinely, so confused and concerned for the pair.

“Oh, so much, babe!” Bella laughed, patting Toye gently on the knee.

#Kate + Bella = chaos #you will never think we’re normal #and you would be right #i miss suguru and satoru #THEY DIDNT HAVE ENOUGH TIME #we literally had a full on conversation for about an hour on all the things we’d do if we were sent back #when I tell you there’s more I mean there’s more #all for the plot right kate???

I did my OCs cause like woooooo all my WIPs are reader inserts but this was fun, i love being able to bring my characters to life in more than just my writing. Also had a giggle that Ali and have fics in the same universes hehe

Band of Brothers OC:

Vienna Matthews [The Angel of Death - Ron Speirs]

Game of Thrones OCs:

Nefriterra Rhovhar [The Blood of the Gods - Aemond Targaryen]

Rhyagara Targaryen and William Stark [Dragon's Blood - F!Targaryen OC x M!Stark OC]

tag list: @malarkgirlypop and anyone else who wants to give it a go!

i used this pic crew for the male oc and this for the ladies xx

PICREW CHARACTER DESIGN GAME

Tag game! Was tagged by @uncertainwallflower Thanks buddy!

Rules: Make a couple characters (or just one! as many as you want/have time for) from your WIP. Use whatever Picrew suits the vibe best—just make sure to link it. Tag a couple people to do the same.

I used the same template wallflower did. This one

I overlooked the wip part and just made characters of my favs soooo. I mean! I do have a fic where all of these characters (minus Bart) are in! And they get bombed by glitter! Thus the glitter, stickers and sparkles on their faces and around them.

I did Tim's twice cuz I didn't notice the throat scar until I was making Jason's but HE HAS A THROAT SCAR NOW HAHAHAHAHAHAHA TITANS TOWER LET'S GOOOOO!!!! JDKFVBEHFEOIJD Also yeah, skater boy Tim is something I will never give up.

AHHHHHHHHHHH THE FRINGE! JASON HAS THE FRINGE!!! I AM SO HAPPY FOR THE WHITE FRINGE I SBHFVHFOEWIL Also, I headcanon that Jason has a pair of glasses cuz he's a nerd (jk, ik that's stereotyping. I just love the concept of him having glasses cuz- LOOKIT HIM! LOOKIT THAT ADORABLE GORGEOUS BULK OF A BOY! I LOVE HIM!)

And yes, Dickiebird is the sunshine boy and the perfect media picture. NYEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH ALL OF THE BATKIDS HAVE SCARS HA.

DAMIIIIIIIII!!! And that's a Gotham Academy uniform ^^ This kid is a cute kid which tries not to act cute but lookit him. Adowable baby.

Steph has strawberry earrings. If there were crazier earrings, I would have put it, but there isn't. The earrings are a tribute to the fic I wrote about Steph having matchbox earrings called "Everyone Is On Fire In The End" (I've linked it) I love Steph. She's awesome.

And ofc, our perfect but-behind-the-scenes-is-actually-the-one-who-causes-all-the-shenanigans queen. Cass. And obvi she's gonna have a lot of scars. I was researching which color eyes she had and in the comics so far she has had, blue, green, and brown eyes. So i went with blue cuz... black-haired blue-eyed. Yk?

Alfred!!! I love him. The sassy grandpa butler.

Guess who the one next to Alfred is. HIMBO BRUCIE WAYNE. His scars were from when he tried to kiss a Tasmanian Devil on his trip to Australia ✌️❤️✨ This cannot possibly be Batman. The butts are lying.

Bonus: Cute Bart. He got his scars from trying to one-up Tim in skateboarding.

I went on a ramble. I like rambling. No pressure tags: @sardonic-sprite @tristicorde @wakkoroni @foursixtwonineoh-pieces-of-lego @cygnusdoesthings @ah0yh0y (turns out, it does exist XD) + whoever else wants to join!!

#i love them all so much #my loves #my only children #i put so much effort into this #but it's cause i love them

friendly reminder to anyone who needs it that it's okay you didn't get any writing done this weekend.

furthermore, it's okay that you took the easy route and made something frozen for dinner and it's okay that you haven't been active in the group chat and it's okay that the car is a mess and it's okay the only thing you've got energy for is the next episode of your tv show.

it's okay.

#Awh merccccc #I needed this thanks honey

HEY BABY GIRL!!!!

It's your girl, your sweet cheese, your good time gal (someone please shut me up omfg). Now...you know i am a Joe Toye lover, and if you've seen me recently...he is the only man on my mind. I was wondering if you might indulge me a little with a Joe Toye x reader where they're besties since young and both end up being paratroopers together but then something happens and he thinks he's lost her but she's actually fine and maybe like fluffy reunion...idk tbh i'd take anything you write and eat it up so do whatever. Love youuuuu xx

Seven

Joe Toye x reader

A/N: OMG BELLA I MISSED YOU!!!! 💖 WELCOME BACK BABE! And of course we have a fic with a T Swift reference for you hehehe (This is written for the fictional depictions from the show - no disrespect to the real life veterans!) Thanks so much for the request, and I hope you like this 💕 Warnings: mentions of war, death

You would kill him if you knew where he was right now. And yet, here he is. Trying to reassure and comfort your mother while sipping coffee from her finest set of teacups. The same teacups, he’s now realizing, that you used to serve him water in as children, calling it tea while the two of you played house, discussing the workplace as if you had any idea what went on there, while the adults around you struggled through the lack of those very places during the thirties. It could just be a coincidence, but after spending most of his life around her, Joe Toye would like to think that he knows your mother better than that.

“And you know how hardheaded she is,” your mother is ranting, cutting a fresh slice of poundcake and placing it on Joe’s plate. “She isn’t going to listen to me. Or anyone for that matter, now that her mind is made up.”

Oh, Joe knows exactly how hardheaded you are. In no small part thanks to the times that he accidentally clobbered that very head during neighborhood football games.

“(Y/N) feels good about this, Mrs. (Y/L/N),” Joe says, unsure of what he’s supposed to say during your mother’s hour of need. She’s right, after all – your mind has been made up, and it will not be changed.

“But do you?” Your mother fixes him with a hard gaze, raised brow and all.

You were with Joe when he went to enlist. He had watched your eyes sparkle when they fell onto the sign stating that women should inquire within about an exciting new opportunity that would allow them to serve their country like never before. And he had been by your side when you both left the building, both holding papers and smiling at the thought that you would be becoming paratroopers – together.

“Yes. (Y/N) is strong. She’ll be good in – “

“Joesph,” your mother interrupts. The façade finally falls as she collapses into the chair across the table from him, head in her hands. “She’s my baby! What if something – oh, God forbid! – happens to her? I couldn’t live with myself.”

Joe is by her side in an instant. When he announced that he was joining the Airborne, everyone had clapped him on the back and congratulated him. You have not had the same experience. While everyone keeps assuring Joe that he’ll do great things, the same people have been cautioning you to be careful. Some have even warned you that you should just give up now. And it’s all only served to strengthen your determination, with every underestimation making you more sure that this is what needs to be done.

All that is to say, Joe has no clue what to say to your mother. She needs to be comforted. But he’s out of his depth.

“I’ll watch out for her,” he finally manages.

Beneath the comforting hand that Joe has placed on her shoulder, your mother freezes. Watery eyes gaze up at him. “You – you will?”

“Of course.” The two of you have grown up together. You’ve always been friends. Why would he stop looking out for you now?

Your mother throws her arms around his neck, wrapping him up in a tight hug. “Oh, thank you!”

Joe is struggling to come up with something more to say when the sound of the front door opening and shutting saves him. Your footsteps echo through the front of the house as you call out in greeting.

“Ma! I’m home!” Stepping into the kitchen, you cross your arms, leaning onto the doorframe as you let out a loud sigh. “Wow, you would almost think that Joe is the child that you’re sending off to war instead of me.” You smile, and anyone could see how much you love your mother.

She wipes her teary eyes and pats Joe’s arm as he stands, returning to his seat. “I’m going to miss having someone around who doesn’t get into trouble all the time,” she teases as she cuts a slice of poundcake for you.

Something about the change of topic tells Joe that she would rather not have you find out about their conversation. His watching over you can be their little secret. And a job that he’ll readily accept.

After all, he tells himself as he watches you laugh at something your mother says. You would do the same for him.

The adrenaline from taking Brécourt Manor still hasn’t worn off yet. Joe is laughing at something that Guarnere said as they head back down the road. Something about this moment makes him feel invincible. This is why he chose to become a paratrooper, he realizes.

More men and women have congregated in the town since he’s been gone. Finally glancing at his watch reveals that he’s been gone most of the day. Wow, really? It didn’t feel like the assault took that long at all. At least it kept him busy, instead of sitting around here, waiting.

Joe scans the crowd, hoping to catch sight of you. When he doesn’t immediately spot you, he stops one of the other female paratroopers as she passes.

“Hey, Lilian. You seen (Y/N) around?”

Lilian pauses, her pretty green eyes widening slightly. “Oh. No.” She bites her lip, holding back something more.

“What is it?” Joe presses.

Her hesitation is not a good sign. Then she blurts out, “No one has seen her since the jump.”

“You mean – “

“She was supposed to be in my drop zone – but she wasn’t.”

The reality of it all sets in. (Y/N) didn’t reach the drop zone. Did she even make it out of the plane? God, he promised your mother that he would look out for you. Yet, here he is, with no clue where you might be.

He may have only just reached Europe, but he’s already failed his mission.

The dust is settling over Carentan when the incongruous cheer and subsequent peel of laughter hits Joe’s ears. Somewhere off in the distance, someone is celebrating. Meanwhile, he’s guarding Doc Roe as the medic moves along the streets, inspecting the bodies strewn over them to see if there’s anybody still alive that he can help.

“Thanks for doing this,” Roe says as he stands once more, moving on to another body.

“Hmm?” Joe snaps his attention back to the moment at hand. “Oh, no problem.”

Except there is a problem. He’s trying to catch a glimpse of every face as Doc Roe checks the bodies. He tries to make out names on dog tags, dreading that one of them might belong to you. He couldn’t stand it if he found you here, like this. What would he tell your mother? How would he ever erase that awful image from his mind? Of the little girl that he once played house with, lying motionless on these cold streets? It’s no better to imagine you going down in a plane doing a fiery corkscrew as it nosedives to the unforgiving soil of a foreign land. But at least he didn’t have to see that.

The terrible job done, he follows Roe back to the rest of the company. Despite everything that just happened, a few smiles can be expected, along with congratulatory words. But this is more than that.

A small group of men mill about, talking, smiling, as they watch a smaller group of the female paratroopers huddled together in a group, all talking loudly and looking excited. From the corner of his eye, he can see Doc Roe glance at him, but before the medic can ask what’s going on, the crowd parts and Joe freezes.

There, in the middle of it all, is you.

“(Y/N)?” It comes out louder than he means for it to, and his feet are already carrying him, double time, in your direction before he realizes what he’s doing.

You look up, your eyes widening. “Joe!” You launch yourself at him, throwing your arms around his neck and pulling him in close.

Something rushes through Joe’s chest like a flash of lightning, too many feelings at once. There’s shock, relief, and something that he can’t quite name. Not caring about getting written up for fraternizing, Joe hugs you back, holding you close, lest you slip away from him again.

“Jesus Christ. I thought I lost you,” he says into your hair.

“I’m fine, as usual. Can’t believe you would doubt me like that.” Your voice is light, teasing, but your grip on him tightens. The usual confident swagger doesn’t leave your voice, but you admit in a quieter voice, “I, uh – I missed my drop zone. Had a hell of a time trying to find the rest of the company. But here I am!”

When the embrace ends, Joe still isn’t ready to let go. He leaves his hands on your shoulders, studying you. And you, for your part, hold onto his webbing. “I was just worried about you, is all.”

You nod. “I was worried about you, too. I – “

“Easy Company!” A booming voice interrupts. “We’re moving out!”

Quickly, while everyone is distracted, you raise yourself up on your tiptoes and press a kiss to his cheek. Heat rushes to Joe’s cheeks. He feels his eyes widen. You just smile at him, casual as can be.

“We’ve been friends since we were seven. You can’t get rid of me that easily, Joseph.” Then, you rejoin your friends, leaving him to replay the scene over and over in his mind.

He turns to watch you go, unable to move his feet from where they suddenly appear to be stuck to the ground. He’s held in place by the weight of his realization – the emotion that he couldn’t name was love, for you.
