and the way you look tonight

liebgott has to be one of the most interesting portrayals in band of brothers. some of the first scenes are of him antagonizing the other companies and calling out guarnere, and yet he’s one of a few people we see visibly cry in the show. he has to be explicitly told to not harm the POWs only episodes after we see him hold an injured tipper closely in an effort to calm him down. he readily aids in finding the man who shot grant but cannot look at the violence that befalls him once caught. he loves to read comics and fidget and is interested in what webster studied and is just so fascinating

band of brothers truly is the big brown baby cow eyes series of all time

Repping a particular niche in a fandom is a weird experience. Yes, I'm here and yes I'm part of things but the majority creates mainly for the popular fandom darling who I like but who doesn't live within my brain in any substantial capacity, which naturally distances me from most of my fandom peers and most common fandom-specific tropes. I'm running a roadside stand outside of the main discourse peddling my favorite side characters like they're the main ones. I am a scholar with only one school of literary criticism at my disposal and it's the one I made up. I am going to analyze and reinterpret this work of fiction from an angle exclusively focused on characters and a relationship no one else, least of all the original narrative itself, cares about. Who even knows what I'm talking about anymore, I've got 300 AUs about them. I'm sitting in a sandbox with my action figures. Enlightenment is often confused with madness
