winnix writers can really be split into "those who make dick go to paris alone" and "those who make lew show up unexpectedly" either way it is often where dick winters realizes he's down bad

**i tried to tag/link everything, if anything is broken or unsourced please let me know and i will endeavour to fix it! standard disclaimer that a) any discussion about war media based on real life people is based upon the fictional portrayals of those people and not the actual dudes. and b) this powerpoint was made for fun, it is not rigorous academic analysis. all opinions expressed are my own. please do not take it too seriously! that's all <3

something so innately raw about falling in love during a war. like you’ve seen the worse in me yet you still want me. you’ve seen me cruel, cranky, outright mean but you’re still here. you’ve seen me breakdown and cry until i’m sobbing and heaving but you promise to never leave me. like you’ve seen the worse of me but still continue to love me and you will most likely never see the best of me ever again (that was left behind when i entered the war). you remind me that we’re in this together and that we can build another best of us together. and then i remember that you too are just as broken as me and that i still want you at your worse as well.

i don't subscribe to the argument of whether dick or lew is the worse driver i think they're both annoying drivers like hey lew buddy stop eating your french fries and driving with your knees and also beep beep richard you can go the speed limit and ya know chit chat with me you're not going to crash

dick is the type of dad to make sure you brush your teeth, set out your clothes for the next day, say your prayers and gently tell you that yes, it is too late for a snack before tucking you in for the night and lew is the type of dad to army crawl across your bedroom floor ten minutes later with crackers and a whispered “don’t leave any crumbs I love you goodnight”
