Say What You Want About Peacock But U Cannot Deny He Is A Cutie Pie….

ok I got ambrose's bob book just finished reading it and this got my attention (my book is in portuguese so yall get the pdf)

I immediatly thought of Sledge. I just think is interesting how it's always (two times as far as I know but still) birds, like seeing such harmless, defenseless, small creatures hurt, in this case by his own hands, makes them snap (?) I dont know how to explain how i see it, it's like they finally see they still can do such thing, even with no apparent reason like Ralph said "the bird had done me no harm and couldn't have", they were so tired of all that violence and death but they still took it home with them. I like how, with Sledge, people always have something to say about that hunting scene in the last episode, how it represents his innocence in a way, or maybe he couldn't hunt them because he was back home but he was different and didnt want to "stain" the memory of the boy he used to be, he probably went hunting before but now it was different, he was different, hunting after all he saw and did would be more than just that, it would show him he did leave his humanity behind it would be him staying in the war and bringing it even closer than it already is. He didn't want that, he didn't want that uniform, didn't want to but he had to live with those nightmares. He wasn't that boy anymore and we can see that he feels inadequate when he comes back, but to his mother, maybe even his brother if just a little, he is still a boy. He lives in his old house and sleeps in his old room but he knows he is no longer that person and because of this loss he doesn't want the memory and innocence of that boy to be tarnished by the man he is becoming/is, in a way he's still mourning that boy.

Lip just materialized do deal with that, the way he looks at Dick than Nix😭

"oh i can't believe im shipping rpf ooohhh i feel bad" babes. we are going to die. this is inevitable and unavoidable. we are going to die. but i have good news for you: before we die, we are going to live! and if living means sometimes we lose our minds over some homoerotic soldiers or some really lovely OCs shipped with a real person, then so fucking be it.

literally. it's fine. kill the cop in your head, and enjoy.

did someone say baberoe or am i schizophrenic

i think it's really interesting to think about how eugene wasn't raised as a soldier. he wasn't built for war. he has many ancestors who were soldiers, his family's legacy is war – and he was always supposed to be the odd man out. diseased as a child and seen as fragile by his parents. in this response to an ask about eugene wearing a lot more white during his scenes before the war i talked about how it's supposed to represent his innocence. you can attribute a lot of “dove” imagery to eugene's character and whatnot. i think it's crucial the way eugene is presented in the scene where he's telling his father he's gonna go to war whether he likes it or not. this id argue is his most important look in the entirety of the show.

so eugene does end up joining his ancestors. another sledge man marching towards war. he's eager, naive about it. he's barely 21.

i (and many others) have talked at length about what it means to eugene's innocence & "essence" of childhood the impromptu reunion with sid so i won't go into much detail with it except to highlight this scene:

eugene's father has given him a pistol to use during the war. it's symbolic, in a way – sledge sr having been so adamant in keeping eugene from conflict before and all that – and it also marks an interesting point for his character. eugene despite everything i said at the beginning has a history with guns that came from hunting with his father. so it's not like he's a stranger to this or a pacifist by any means. but i think eugene's character development is tied very closely to how he feels about guns, specifically. both rifles and sidearms.

fast forward a bit and by okinawa you have plenty of scenes representing eugene's losing grip on his humanity and the incipient growth of his rage. but it all comes to a head in this particular scene, i think. they drop the shell on the hut and open fire and then it ends – except eugene doesn’t stop. he purposefully foregoes his rifle (less personal, made for longer distances) and takes out his pistol to shoot the last japanese soldier standing. the use of that particular gun is a conscious choice because he doesn't need it. he isn't even supposed to be firing anymore. but his anger towards everything has reached a boiling point and he's deliberately making this personal (as evidenced by the dialogue – “i'd use my goddamn hands if i had to”).

then after a while eugene comes home a changed man, and while edward is boisterous about his time in europe and the army eugene can't stomach it and he says as much – he won't put on a uniform ever again, he doesn't enjoy the fanfare and celebration. there's a real dissonance between how eugene and edward (and sid for that matter) are choosing to deal with the memories of war in episode 10 but that's a thought for another post. anyway, i bring back this particular bit from the original scripts about eugene's feelings regarding his ancestors: i wish they had included this bc i think it's very necessary for his character arc. the military men in his family stare back at him. he understands now. and the fact that he reaches this revelation in the same study where he was told time and time again that he couldn't enlist and where he then made the decision by himself is so very important.

and finally you have the conclusion to all this that comes in the scene where eugene goes hunting with his father one last time – except in this occasion he can't do it. and i think it all comes back to his innocence and the pistol, his own rifle in the marines vs his shotgun at home. it's the act of holding a gun to take life again that breaks eugene down completely. and the fact that they're supposed to be hunting for doves! it's just a perfect way to end his character arc because he's not that person anymore.

(anyway, i hope this made sense to someone. if you read all of it i love u and thank u 🙏🏻)
