Shifty ♡

Easy Company Sleepover??

The chaos

Heffron: EYYY WHO’S STILL UP?

Toye: *squints* Well me now, dipshit

Guarnere: SHH I need at least 10 hours if I’m gonna look fresh tomorrow

Talbert: Ok, seriously everyone simmer down, let’s just sleep

No one:

Webster: …What’s the meaning of life?

Liebgott: cAn wE nOt??

Shifty: Guys pls be quiet or Captain Winters will hear us

Luz: Wait turn the lights on, I can’t find Malarkey!

Malarkey: I’m under the bed!

Skinny: What the actual f—

Muck: That looks so fun! *gets under bed*

Penkala: Midnight pillow fight! *hits Gordon*

Gordon: Ow! What the hell is in your pillowcase? Fuck, I’m bleeding!

Roe: *asleep*

Christenson: Shhh did you guys hear that?

Speirs (outside peeping in the window): be silent.

Skip: Oh please, you wouldn’t hurt a fly

Shifty: You’re right, because a fly is an innocent creature that never knowingly did anything to anybody. You, however; I would maim.

Doc Roe: I just want you to know that if you ever hurt Shifty, I will hunt you down.

Skinny: And do what?

Doc Roe: What?

Skinny: Hunt me down and do what?

Doc Roe: I will hunt you down, and… probably… explain how hurtful your actions were.

Lipton: Shifty, we have to talk.

Shifty: Yes, Seargent?

Lipton: Stop collecting frogs and hiding them in your foot locker.

Shifty: Sorry, sir its just-

Lipton: Captain Sobel might knock it over and hurt them, hide 'em in the showers.

Look at this gif for three reasons.  

1. Talbert looking so adorable and a bit confused

2. Shifty being a literal puppy 

3.  Doc Roe….DOC FREAKING ROE!  Must you be so concerned all the time with that beautiful baby face.

@gilove2dance , what have I gotten myself into!

me, watching shifty powers take out that sniper in foy: fucking superb you funky little woodland creature

Ok so get this, inktober prompts but with band of brother characters.

I have my own personal headcanon that Shifty would just find little creatures and put them in his coat pockets. For example

Sobel “private…why is your pocket squirming?”

Shifty “there is a turtle inside, sir.”

Sobel “…god dammit. Go put it back.”

Winters: Have you been hiding the same fat raccoon in Captain Sobels cot?

Shifty *Holding a fat Raccoon with a ribbon on its head* No, sir. But I'm sure whoever is does not feel guilty in the slightest.

*Easy being bored while heading to England on the boat* part 2

Guarnere “I’ve played Craps, Poker, Go fish, Rock Paper Scissors, Gin Rummy, Eye Spy, and a very awkward game of hide and seek involving a confused private from Fox company.”

Welsh “What if I got Kitty a German knife? Would she like that? Spreading butter with one of Hitler’s knives?”

Martin “move over Bull needs another bunk. *whisper* over grown bastard…”

Shifty *climbing up the bunks* “I call top!” “Well because I’m the sniper, and I…need to see.. Really far…” “Okay, yes, I am just trying to get away from George’s snoring”

Muck “No, its a perfectly good idea. The only flaw is we’re idiots and it won’t work.”

Roe “Coffee, as black as my soul.” *Shifty hands Roe a cup of milk with a twisty straw*

Buck “Hey George- Stop screaming it’s only me. Yes I am aware my hand is bleeding.”

Shifty: Oh, fiddlesticks

Grant: Look, I understand this is a tense situation, but let’s watch the fucking language.

Since we are all quarantined in my state there is nothing to do. Please tell which band of brothers boy I should draw to cure my boredom. I will post each drawing.

Really drunk Joe Toye sitting in a pile of puppies and he starts getting teary eyed and his voice gets really husky as he gathers them up into his arms and rubs his face into their fluffy little bodies. “I can’t protect all of them.”

Happy Birthday Darrell (Shifty) Powers

March 13, 1923 - June 17, 2009

Happy Birthday Shifty 🦌

Shifty Powers, located an enemy artillery battery by noticing, in the middle of a forest, that a tree had appeared overnight a mile down the road, which turned out to be part of the battery's concealment. To reiterate, this man was able to tell that there was one more tree in the forest one morning than the day before. One tree. In a forest. A mile away.

😏😮

Easy company as cats

Dick -  Big ginger tomcat who always finds the best hiding spots to catch birds, well-mannered and rarely ever meows. Spends most of the day outside or curled up pressed to his owner, never bothering anyone though. Has a neat collar with a classic little nametag. You can trust him not to make any trouble if you forget to let him out into the garden when you leave for work in the morning. He likes water and sometimes stays outside in the rain chasing raindrops. Is best friends with the neighbour’s black persian.

Nix - Said black persian. His owners keep him in absolute luxury, feeding him tuna every day and brushing out the knots in his fur, but he runs out through his little cat door each afternoon and gets it messy again. Taught Dick how to use that cat door and now they trot in and out of the house as they please. Nix drinks milk at both of their places and scoffs at water. Generally lazy, but doesn’t protest against stroking or cuddling.

Speirs - Cat of unknown origin, possibly stray, always sitting on the fence or on the porch staring inside all creepily without blinking. Has beautiful black and white markings, a real magpie cat. Presents various carcasses to Lipton and sometimes live prey to play with. Once in a while, he lets Lipton groom his head and ears, but no human you know of has been able to catch him. Leaves half a rabbit on your doormat at night so that you can step on it in the morning.

Lipton - Is a huge cat with sandy-dark brown fur that stands every which way in tufts. Got bitten at the hip by a dog and almost died, but his owners didn’t give up on him and he healed with only a small scar as a reminder. He’s really nice and friendly, calm, lets children play with him and curls up on your chest to purr when you’re sick or depressed. Isn’t afraid of fireworks. Has disappeared for two days once and you found him in the shed with the bicolor stray, lethargic from an infection, but mostly warm in a box of work clothes the stray seemed to have claimed as his bed.

Luz - Long-haired siamese cat that keeps running around the house and meows for no damn reason. If you don’t pay attention to him, he tries meowing at different pitches. Seems to understand how conversations work, because he makes tiny “mrow” sounds when you talk to him. Likes to hide behind the bookshelf and wait until you pass by to attack-hug your leg with (mostly) soft paws, then runs off again. Gets crazy from laser pointers and can practically run up the wall chasing the little red dot. 

Toye - Battered stray that got adopted by Luz’s owners from the death row. One of his hind legs broke and healed wrong before he was caught, so he has a limp. He’s unfriendly and doesn’t like to be touched, keeps growling if you pick him up, and he has real sharp claws that no one dared trim yet. He’s a little on the thin side right now, but his new owners are trying to cure him back to health. In the evening, he likes to curl up with Luz in a nest they share. Doesn’t play.

Babe - Ragdoll kitten, isn’t mature yet. Purrs at the slightest touch. True to his breed, goes boneless and soft if you pick him up, and everyone wants to cuddle with him. Once, he got stung by an insect and his right paw swelled to twice its original size. Considers rolling onto his back and batting at your fingers as the most enjoyable playtime. He likes to go up to adult cats and jump on them or eat their food, but they don’t tend to hiss at him for some reason. Strictly indoor cat.

Roe - Slender chartreux cat who likes to groom your hair with his cute pink tongue. Lives with Babe and carries him by his scruff like a momma even though he’s a male cat. Been lost a few times before, so he became an indoor cat too, because his owners prefer to keep him safe. When it’s cold, he tucks his paws under his body and sleeps like a loaf of bread. Eats chocolate whenever he can, fishing out the wrappers from the trashbin when he’s naughty.

Webster - Mostly indoor cat, a white angora with blue eyes. Came from the best breeder in town, is a frequent contestant on cat shows. He even learnt a few tricks from his owner. He’s very docile and practically offers himself when it’s time for his evening brush or a regular nail trim. He can walk on a leash without trouble and wears knit socks without fuss. Stays still when his owner wants pictures. Has a sensitive stomach and pukes on the carpet if he doesn’t get good food, is allowed to sit on the kitchen counter.

Liebgott - Scrawny tabby streetcat that hangs out in Webster’s territory and sprays on the bushes. He and Webster get into noisy fights every week, sometimes through the glass of a window or the screen door. Webster’s owners are upset about it, fearing that Lieb is going to scratch Web’s beautiful face up, but once, they accidentally let Web out on his own and find him and Lieb pressing their noses together curiously. Lieb can be coaxed into a short petting, but he bites when he gets bored of it. Made the neighbour’s Rottweiler howl once by clawing at its nose.

Guarnere - “Tomcat of the block”. Goes out on his daily prowl at night and chases after the female cats, dropping litters around the neighbourhood for the lucky owners to take care of. He’s striped like a tiger and has an M on his forehead. He’s small but can be ferocious when it comes to what he thinks is his. He kept puffing up when he saw Dick a few houses down the street, but he entered Dick’s territory once, got smacked in the nose, and now he’s okay with simply keeping his respectful distance. Is on a special diet because of a urinary infection.

Shifty - An adorable Scottish fold. He’s a talented bird hunter and can jump surprisingly high. Was hit by a car once just when he finally got home from a vet visit, but got away with a few broken bones. He has such sad eyes that it’s a challenge not to pick him up all the time. If you take him into your arms, he headbutts your neck affectionately. Seems to stare at and watch invisible things sometimes, staying motionless in hunting position for minutes. He sleeps with his owner at night.

Malarkey - Used to be a fearful kitten, walking around staying low and close to the ground, but he doesn’t much mind noise now. Gets confused at times when things change, for example, it takes days for him to tuck in without hesitation when you buy him a new brand of food. Has his own basket next to his owner’s armchair and likes to hide there, sometimes sticking his head out and staring warily for a minute or two before settling back down. Sometimes, he wanders into the garage and gets oil stains on his ash-colored fur, so his owner has to bathe him regularly.

Talbert - He’s a gorgeous bengal cat with big green eyes. Very agile and smart, likes to play with pieces of yarn and loves climbing trees. Always greets his owner at the end of a workday by running up to the car with his tail in the air. His favourite sleeping place is under the rosebushes. Likes to lurk around in the dark at night, but sometimes that gets him into trouble, like that time when he broke a vase and got a piece of it wedged in his paw. Dick’s other neighbour, they like to sunbathe together.

Now, who’s who in the pictures below? And which kitten would you take home with you?

A puppy really

Lipton: Shifty, we have to talk.

Shifty: Yes, Seargent?

Lipton: Stop collecting frogs and hiding them in your foot locker.

Shifty: Sorry, sir its just-

Band Of Brothers Modern AU Headcanons

(No one asked for this, but you know what? I’m still gonna do it.)

The guys all live in the same apartment building.

Dick doesnt understand 99.9% of pop culture. You could probably show him a thirty minute PowerPoint about what “ok boomer” means and he still wouldn’t understand.

Dick listens to old country music and Nix absolutely hates it.

Nix works at the local animal shelter and wants to bring a dog home almost every day, but Dick always tells him that the two dogs they have are enough.

Liebgott listens to Indie music.

He’s also the bass guitarist in a band called The Flashbacks.

The Flashbacks mostly cover songs by The White Stripes, Pixies, Metric, Arctic Monkeys, and occasionally Cavetown, but they do perform a few songs that Liebgott has written, including one dedicated to Webster.

Guarnere plays the drums in The Flashbacks.

Webster writes poetry and everyone claims to hate it. (Spoiler alert: they don’t.)

Webster is Instagram famous. (He mostly posts aesthetic photos he’s taken or little bits of his poetry.)

Luz is a huge fan of all kinds of ghosts, demons, and cryptids, but his favorite would have to be Mothman. He even went to West Virginia to look for him once, but ended up not seeing him.

Luz knows all of the lyrics to Take On Me and Tainted Love and sings them when he gets bored. Sometimes he doesn’t even realize he’s doing it.

Toye has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and used to go boxing with Guarnere every Saturday before they got in a car crash.

Eugene can sing and play piano. Like... Really well.

Eugene has a banana ball python named Peaches.

Babe used to paint a lot when he was a teenager, so now he’s really good at it. His favorite thing to paint is Eugene’s cat, Magnolia.

Lipton owns a small tea and coffee shop.

Lipton’s shop actually brought him and Ron together. Ron was a regular and always changed up his order to make it more complicated so he could stay longer and talk to Lip.

Ron has a rottweiler puppy named Dally and he carries him around in a puppy backpack. They have matching sunglasses.

Ron is a big Outsiders fan. He’s been to the museum in Tusla five times and read the book at least thirteen times. (And yes, he named his puppy after Dallas Winston.)

Shifty sends everyone a wholesome meme each morning to let them know that they are loved.

Shifty works at Lipton’s tea and coffee shop.

Muck eats tomatoes like apples and everyone’s extremely disgusted by it.

Malarkey, Muck, and Penkala like to hide tiny plastic alligators in front of everyone’s apartments. (They always put sharks in front of Webster’s apartment.)

Luz, Babe, Malarkey, Muck, and Penkala are in a group chat called “RIP Vine 😔😔😔” and each member sends a meme every day. It’s been going on for two years.

Everyone always goes to Buck’s football games, even though most of them don’t care for the sport, because they enjoy screaming at the other team.

Luz, Babe, And Talbert are Tik Tok famous.
