Go To

Tumblr Company began life as a Band of Brothers role play on Tumblr, based around a "sister company" to Easy Company, "Test Company", an experimental unit of paratroopers that included women. Initially it featured a lot of contact with characters from the original canon, but over time has evolved into very much it's own creature.

This Roleplay contains examples of:

  • The All-American Boy: Kiley Ratzinger and Rob Duncan are grown up versions
  • Amazon Brigade: Test Company is largely this, though they have taken on a fair few male recruits and officers to bolster numbers
  • Anyone Can Die: And they do.
  • Betty and Veronica: The early days of the RP featured this sort of dynamic between Major Kailen Horn (Archie), Major Winters (Betty) and Lt. Colonel Speirs (Veronica)
  • Chivalrous Pervert: Corporal Jesse West
  • Contemplate Our Navels: A desperate want to go home, matched by being at a loss as to what the point of the war is.
  • Distracted from Death: Major Kailen Horn, disappears to get a congratulatory drink, but doesn't quite make it back for the celebration
  • Drinking on Duty: Occasionally a product of good things, most often a product of bad things, this drives the Company to questionable actions, and occasionally clashes amongst each other.
  • Freak Out: Many people on many occasions, breaking under the strain of war or bending under the weight of copious amounts of alcohol (and on one occasion, morphine).
  • Friendly Sniper: Private Lisa Nelson
  • Gargle Blaster: 'Die Blutung Eisbar', a drink with a bleeding polar bear on the label which has been responsible for many of the company's more questionable decisions
  • Heroic BSoD
  • I Have You Now, My Pretty: Sergeant Roy Stewart, among other gentleman who appear to harrass the ladies of Test Company
  • Ladykiller in Love: Jesse West, first with Hester Roth, and later with Stuart Freeman
  • No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: On the discovery of Valesco's treachery.
  • Quizzical Tilt: One of Captain Victor Sarn's many slightly odd mannerisms
  • Southern Belle: Sergeant Veda Hawthorne
  • Southern-Fried Private: A decent portion of the company members are from Southern states, but the two who best fit the trope are Sergeant Kiley Ratzinger and Private Lisa Nelson
  • Team Dad: Staff Sergeant 'Papa Rob' Duncan
  • War Is Hell
  • Wartime Wedding: Rob Duncan and Ailidh Hutchinson, in the company CP no less
