Remember the Battle of Moscow: October 1941–January 1942.
ore than a million German troops were thrown into the attack on Moscow, as Hitler ordered that the city should be razed to the ground rather than captured.
At first, the German progress was rapid; by November 15 of 1941, they had fought to within 18 miles of the city. Then, they were slowed by the Russian resistance, and an early winter set in, with temperatures dropping well below zero degrees Fahrenheit. The German supply chain failed, and Russian marshal Zhukov threw his reserve of Siberian divisions into a counterattack.
By January, the Germans were pushed back by more than 100 miles. Russian casualties were heavy, but the German momentum was broken.

under the New Year’s Eve mistletoe
Coldest Winter (Levi Ackerman)
summary: a soldier’s heart and a man’s will is tested when war breaks out leaving him stranded and finds himself far away from the life he only once dreamed of the moment he met you.
There is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs, for war does not determine who is right— only who is left.
ELD. 848 PL.
December 24, 1942
under command/ FADM Erwin Smith
Sgt. Annie Leonhart wounded
Sgt. Pieck Finger wounded

December 31, 1942
to my dearest,
I wrote this letter to you on the 14th of July, Year 1942. It is with a heavy heart I bring this news to you. Today, the platoon had decided to send our unit to the north of Kolberg, Germany for the next operation. It seems like the war won’t be stopping anytime soon and by the time you have received this, it will be around late December. I miss you and not a single day goes by that my thoughts weren’t plagued by you.
I missed you and think of you even at times I shouldn’t. I have you in mind all the time and I haven’t forgotten about the promise I made to you.
I might not be able to come home soon, but I will come home to you and run with my feet if I have to. Right now, it must be the eve of the 31st of December when you’re reading this.
Please, don’t worry about me and I’ll do the same. There’s a lot of things for me to say that the tip of my pen won’t be able to suffice and before I forget to tell you, there’s an odd spot at your place where I seem to have grown fond of, especially with my last visit a year ago. At the backdoor where the scenery of nature can be witnessed, there’s something that I would like to do. I won’t go into details, but I hope when the next winter comes, I’ll be there by your side. Then we’ll settle the rest of things under the mistletoe.
The world is cruel and full of danger, but it’s merciful enough to have led me to you.
- L.A

Post-return arthur that is so bored that he tries to make some food but he falls miserably because 99% of merlin house work with magic.
Electricity? Gas? Plumbing? Merlin never heard of her. The only non-magical technology in his house is an "cat" (*cough*dragon) toy that his new baby dragon wanted. That's it.
Arthur that got locked outside because the house was cross with him.
Arthur that tried once (1) to go into merlin office and— (Arthur : *glare*we don't talk about it) hem, never went alone in it ever again (hegotbluehairandturnedintoafrog.simultaneously)
Merlin house being strange enough to keep arthur entertained (by frustration) but also familiar enough in its lack of technology to not overwhelmed Arthur
#Yeah#I'm still on my#Merlin's house is like your grandpa but if your grandpa was 1500 years#That dude has a toilet outside of his home I'm telling you#A part of his house's roof has a fucking lighting pole#Because a bomb got on it in 1942#(yes. It happened. my home has a lighting pole in the roof lmao)#If he has a tv it's still one where you have to change the bulb (in merlin case : never)#Yes he still make his own bread and has chicken#Merthur#arthur pendragon#merlin#merlin bbc#merlin emrys#merthur au#merthur crack#My shit#post return arthur pendragon#arthur returns

jinchul being so overworked he completely forgets when his birthday is and how old he is
like imagine work day proceeding as always (aka disaster after disaster) and then for some work related shit someone asks him his birthday and age and he just opens his mouth to reply but nothing comes out because he legit can’t remember. he just dumbly stays here for a minute having really strong thinking session only to say ‘I honestly don’t remember’ (but it also attributes to him never really celebrating his birthday because orphanage either messed up dates or straight up ignored it and at adulthood he’s mostly too busy or there’s extra work so if he’s lucky enough he can treat himself to a piece of cake after work at home and that’s it)
kha workers just running to gunhee like ‘boss we have an emergency, chief woo doesn’t remember his birthday—‘
literally everyone remembers his birthday and age except the man in question. it’s so bad that when they invite him for a party he declines because too much work and they’re like ‘sir it’s your birthday party’ and then there’s long awkward pause
‘wait which day is my birthday on?’
#solo leveling#woo jin chul#based on true story#I was so overworked i completely forgot about my birthday#and then I needed to fill in survey and I spent like a whole ass minute calculating my age#gunhee throws jinchul’s birthday party twice a year#one by his official documents that orphanage made#other by Jinchul’s own vague memories about celebrating other day#actually fun fact my grandma was born in 1942 and since it was wartime she didn’t get birth certificate right away#then her parents forgot when she was born and they stamped May 1st in certificate and called it a day#so she celebrated her birthday whole week including May 1st so you physically couldn’t be late to congratulate her wheeze

Remember the Battle of Midway: June 1942.
Midway was a catastrophic defeat from which the Imperial Japanese Navy never fully recovered. Much of the credit goes to the codebreakers who revealed the Japanese plan to ambush U.S. forces in time for the Allies to plan a counter-ambush. The Japanese plan to split American forces also failed.
The U.S. then launched a major air assault on the Japanese carriers. The TBF Avenger torpedo bombers were intercepted by Japanese Zeroes and decimated, but the SBD Dauntless dive bombers attacking afterward got through. They arrived just as the Japanese planes were refueling and rearming on deck. Three of four Japanese carriers were destroyed, tilting the course of the war against Japan.

The plot of Cat People (1942) was insane like. so this lady immigrated to America and she feels like she doesn't fit in and she marries a man but their marriage falls apart bc she's like "I cannot kiss u because if I kiss you I will turn into a giant cat and bite kill you 3:" so the husband gets her a psychiatrist (recommended to him by the gf he's cheating with AND the psychiatrist diagnosis her with Mental Illness Disorder but doesn't admit her to a phychiaric hospital bc she can't legally divorce if she's Insane) (the psychiatrist is besties w the husband and his gf btw. very professional) and she tells the psychiatrist I can't kiss because I will turn itno a giant cat and bite kill and he's like you're tripping balls get real and he kisses her (ethical violation. btw) and you'd never guess what happened next. she turned into a giant cat and bite killed him. The end
#yes I hate this movie. yes I like this movie. we exist#mllkwrds#cat people 1942#spoilers warning for ppl who haven't seen this 90+ years old film

!!!NEW REVIEW!!!
in a fitting twist of fate, we cap off the 2023 calendar year with, coincidentally, the final cartoon of 1941. perhaps best known for its 1947 remake Little Orphan Airedale, formally spawning the ever amusing Charlie Dog, Porky’s Pooch garners its own plentiful novelty through its mixed media backgrounds—90% of which are still photographs! a tale as old as time with a Clampett-ian twist, Clampett’s final cartoon with his “Katz unit” of animators follows Charlie’s Rover’s attempts to get himself a master: the terminally stubborn Porky Pig who wants absolutely no part in this.
#i have been waiting YEARS TO REVIEW THIS ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I’M SO EXCITED#god it’s so good. maybe. yes. it might have my favorite (or at least ideal) portrayal of Porky out of any cartoon despite there being a lot#better ones out there. he’s certainly at some of his most charming with those John Carey scenes oh man#and in spite of how misleading this lobby card is it’s one of my favorite lobby cards#excited for what 2024/1942 in this case brings us!! thanks for your support everyone. it means the world to me#i hope you enjoy#lt#looney tunes#porky’s pooch#clampett#reviews
