July 12, 1916: Happy birthday to "Lady Death" Lyudmila Pavlichenko, daughter of Soviet Ukraine and preeminent Red Army sniper in the war against fascism.
“The sooner the monster of fascism can be destroyed, the less blood will be shed—and that means your blood as well as ours.”

Lyudmila Pavlichenko tours the US
Tumblr media
Nicknamed "Lady Death", Soviet Sniper Lyudmila Pavlichenko (1916-1974) was a force to be reckoned with. Credited with 309 confirmed kills, she is recognized as the most successful female sniper in history.
In 1942, she went to the United States as the Soviet Union attempted to convince the Allies to open a second front in Europe. Being a woman who had fought on the frontline, she was treated like an oddity. She was, for instance, asked some "simply stupid" questions during a press conference. Here are her answers.
QUESTION: Lyudmila, can you take hot baths at the front?
ANSWER: Absolutely, and several times a day. If you are sitting in a trench and there is an artillery attack, it gets hot. Very hot. That’s a real bath, only it tends to be a dust bath.
QUESTION: Did you have any protection?
ANSWER: Only my rifle.
QUESTION: Are women able to use lipstick when at war?
ANSWER: Yes, but they don’t always have time. You need to be able to reach for a machine gun, or a rifle, or a pistol, or a grenade.
QUESTION: What colour underwear do you prefer, Lyudmila?
ANSWER: In Russia you would get a slap in the face for asking a question like that. That kind of question is usually only asked of a wife or a mistress. You and I do not have that relationship. So, I will be happy to give you a slap. Come a bit closer . . .
QUESTION (from a woman journalist): Is that your parade uniform or your everyday uniform?
ANSWER: We have no time for parades at the moment.
QUESTION (also from a woman): But the uniform makes you look fat. Or don’t you mind?
ANSWER: I am proud to wear the uniform of the legendary Red Army. It has been sanctified by the blood of my comrades, who have fallen in in combat with the Fascists. It bears the Order of Lenin, an award for military distinction. I wish you could experience a bombing raid. Honestly, you would immediately forget about the cut of your outfit.
QUESTION: The tobacco company Philip Morris is offering you a contract. They are ready to pay half a million dollars to put your portrait on cigarette packets. Will you agree to it?
REPLY: No. They can go to the devil.

You're a fascist who supports gun violence and you should be ashamed of yourself.

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
Do your community a service; make Nazis afraid again.
The more Nazis that feel unsafe expressing their incredibly depraved ideology, the safer all minorities are. Give them a reason to feel unsafe.

Göll approaching the more calmer fighters for advice: How would you guys deal with a toxic friend?
Lyudmila: Tell them how you really feel.
Tomoe: Slowly distance yourself from them.
Tsuruhime: Engage in a 1v1 sword battle and if they lose they have to stop being toxic or pay the price.
Göll, being handed a sword: …well heck.

LT. LYUDMILA PAVLICHENKO // SNIPER
“She was a Soviet sniper in the Red Army during World War II. She is credited with killing 309 enemy combatants. She served in the Red Army during the siege of Odessa and the siege of Sevastopol, during the early stages of the fighting on the Eastern Front. Her score of 309 kills likely places her within the top five snipers of all time, but her kills may be significantly more numerous, as a confirmed kill has to be witnessed by a third party. It was said that she couldn’t pull the trigger on her first kill until she saw a German shoot a young Russian soldier.”

This is mostly to explain why in my au the human fighters need to be woman
•since Ragnarok as a whole wasn't taken seriously the gods decided to agree on account that all the fights should be pretty woman so they can essentially just gawk at them but also for brunhilde to struggle finding any fighters at all. this obviously backfired on them but that's a future thing
•i also hc that the goddesses in ror have either lost their will to fight or just never had them. if the gods never had a threat on earth, it would justify this level of pride and just relax them into pacifism or a 'let the others handle it' attitude. it's the blood thirsty gods looking for a fight that actually fought. maybe it's cause of some sort woman should sit and look pretty mindset or maybe most of the greek goddesses just don't exist besides moves but I would like Ragnarok to be a bit of a waking call on the au
•another thing is that the female fighters essentially had better things to do. besides the ones that just didn't care enough or had the mentality that someoen else would do it, most of them weren't just fighters. they were woman who were rulers and had families to care about (as cliche as that sounds), most had tragic ends and had finally reunited with their loved ones and didn't wnat to give it up to a battle that (in their minds) was already was decided. Artemisia might've been a coward for giving up before the round even started but she had a point. this is why there are so many (albeit comedic) posts about Brunhilde and göll recruiting the fighters. it kind of just boils down to that one meme of why women live longer than men
•buddha still gets to fight on R6 on account of the technicality the human fighters on side of humanity need to be women. no one said anything about immortals.
•to note on why the female fighters wouldn't have participated in canon is mainly because Brunhilde was the one picking the fighters and all the fighters in the au had a slightly lower chance of winning just based on statistic (also to explain why canon and au have the same win-lose rounds)
