All the Light We Cannot See - Anthony Doerr
Another book I read for my English class.
Marie-Laure is a French girl who is forced to live with her uncle who's a bit out of the ordinary. Wener is an orphaned German boy (I think he was German) who joins the Nazis. It goes through their experiences during WWII.
I liked this book. It had nice short chapters with a good dual pov and time jumps. Not going to be my favorite book of all time but it was good.

many things about the chronicles of Narnia made me irrevocably insane at the small age of six years old but one of the big ones was the bit in prince Caspian where caspian blows susan's horn to try and summon help and it summons the pevensie kids like. that's crazy ok. that's insane. imagine at 12 years old you're given a horn thats purpose is basically summoning divine intervention & then years later someone blows it and summons YOU . I'm crazy !
#for me the thing i think about most wrt narnia is like. becoming a legend. the prophecy kids thing goes pretty basicstyle in the first book#but once u get to prince caspian ur dealing w these 4 people whove basically fufilled the prophecy but their lives arent over!!#both on earth and in narnia theyre figuring out what it means to live past the end of their own stories#& not just the conclusion theyve also lived past the happily ever after thehve had those entire lives as prophecized kings and queens n now#they just have to be people! it makes me a bit crazy#did you know wwii was an event that affected many people and showed up in lots of literature at the time in small ways.#cleb talky#narnia

i think you guys are onto smth..
i unironically got invested in this HELP
#WHERES THE FIC AT IF SOMEONE WRITES THIS I WILL PAY THEM A HUNDRED DOLLARS馃槶馃槶#kunikida serving the country while dazai's serving cunt馃様#dazai was born to malewife but forced to manipulate and i think that's the greatest tragedy of bsd#anyway some facts i would like to share abt this au thay i came up w while drawing!!#takes place in 1939 (start of wwii) and there was a mandatory draft that required one male over eighteen from each house to serve#both of them are still twenty two and had been engaged for abt two years before getting married that year#newlyweds! unfortunately kuni had to go fight and they were seperated :(#before the war kunikida was a math teacher at the local high school and dazai obviously managed the household and didn't work#he's hopeless at cooking and meal prep even w recipie books so they either get those prepackaged meals or kuni makes dinner when he gets ba#so like when he's making lunch for kunikida he normally just packs a basic sandwich w raw fruit#kunikida always appreciates the effort even tho hes probably sick of having the same thing everyday but he won't complain abt it#when kunikida joined the army he was relieved that the mess hall had better food than dazai#he was the only one in his platoon that never complained abt the food so his fellow soldiers assumed it was bc he came from a tough bg#when in reality he was just used to being poisoned on a daily basis from his dumbass husbands cooking and was hardly fazed from army ration#they write to each other although its more dazai sending and kuni receiving bc hes off fighting and doesnt have time to write back#dazai talks abt life on the homefront and how he has to grow a victory garden (everything is DYING HE CANT EVEN RAISE TOMATOES)#and kuni writes abt his fellow soldiers and how the war is going and when he thinks he'll be home and how he misses sleeping in a bed#ANYWAY yea thought i'd share sry for infodumping in the tags again#this post is for like the four ppl that care abt this specific flavor of knkdz so hopefully this gets four notes at least#bungou stray dogs#bungo stray dogs#dazai osamu#osamu dazai#kunikida doppo#doppo kunikida#kunikidazai#knkdz#lotus draws#bro sry for posting at two in the morning i couldnt sleep until i got this out of my head they have infested my brain

10 April 1945 Dick wrote to DeEtta:
In his letter to DeEtta on the 16th September 1945 Dick apparently knew plenty about love, especially about being lovesick:
In his letters he wrote between April and Sept, Dick suddenly started talking a lot about Nix. At one point claiming how untrustworthy Nix is off duty. He also kept gently urging DeEtta to go find and marry someone.
#lighthearted fun#not to be taken seriously#band of brothers#dick winters#lewis nixon#i just thought it was quite funny how suddenly nix started featuring so heavily in dick's letters#he either almost never mentioned nix before or of he did then these letters are not included in this book#(i suspect these were detailed descriptions of nix)#and quite entertaining how dick was advising deetta on the marriage front. one almost got the sense that#the sooner she marries someone the better#Hang Tough: The WWII Letters and Artifacts of Major Dick Winters

Thinking about how in the Archie Ninja Turtle comics Hitler's brain traveled back in time to team up his WW2 self. The Turtles go back in time to retrieve his brain but WW2 Hitler holds them at gunpoint and accuses them of being demons who've come for his soul. Leo says they only came for his brain. WW2 Hitler misinterprets this as being his brain rather than his brain in the future and kills himself to stop the turtles from getting his brain.
Tldr: The Ninja Turtles killed Hitler.

One type of American World War II propaganda that delights me is the pro-book material:
{Buy me a coffee} {WHF} {Medium} {Looking Through the Past}
More interesting propaganda in my newsletter:

"For what they are worth, or for what they may recapture, here they are, period pieces, fairy tales, half-meaningless memories of a time and of attitudes which have gone forever from the world, a sad and jocular recording of a little part of a war I saw and do not believe, unreal with trumped-up pageantry, so that it stands in the mind like the battle pictures of Cr茅cy and Bunker Hill and Gettysburg. And, although all war is a symptom of man's failure as a thinking animal, still there was in these memory-wars some gallantry, some bravery, some kindliness."
John Steinbeck, in the 1958 introduction to his collected 1943 World War II reportage Once There Was a War
#steinbeck!!#this whole introduction is sort of an extended argument with himself about how he and other war reporters wrote about the war and the#pressures they experienced and put on themselves and whether they ultimately failed in capturing the war itself#and it is totally fascinating#and such an interesting snapshot i think of early wwii mythology formation and the uneasiness of that#and he's only fifteen years away from it! he mentions repeatedly how far away it all is but from our perspective of course the turnaround#seems near-immediate#wwii#wwii book club#history

You want SJM to write another book about training to fight because you can鈥檛 comprehend a female character being badass and having agency unless she holds a sword.
I want SJM to write a book about Elain training to be a spy because it plays on themes of everyone underestimating her, her powers as a seer, claiming agency in the NC, becoming a hidden weapon, and still maintaining the roots of her character.
We are not the same.

We need to go back to dealing with our trauma like early-mid 20th century male authors that fought in WWI or WWII
(by writing an epic novel hiding the trauma behind metaphors/fantasy/absurdism and characters that are a little insane)
