Also for the record, the whole White Witch-enchanted food thing still would have worked regardless of when the story was set. Kids like sweets, especially magic ones that symbolize temptation. The WW2 sugar rationing is not the pivotal element here

every time I look something up about WWI and all the results are from WWII an angel loses its wings

[thespookydookie]

as a horror fan, i think perhaps the most exciting thing i have to work on regarding the comic is definitely the horror-esc aspects of it - the research is certainly disgusting, but i find the subject of depicting death and decay in art oddly fascinating, having everything to do with taking all the images from the text and making them real(the first scene from the visitation to kemmerich where paul imagines his decaying corpse in the grave with his nails and hair still growing lives in my head rent free so the only way to get rid of it is to make y'all suffer too sorry guys)

Tucked deep within the hidden corners of the Great No-Man's Land, Gnome-kind managed to survive the devestation of the Great War in a relative peaceful state. Their little dwellings are dotted within the overlooked crevices and forgotten places of the world, where no-one can get to without difficulty.

Gnomes frequently traverse the Great No-Man's Land to forrage for food and materials. Their small stature grants them some safety from the much bigger menaces of the world. Still, they do come prepared if something lurks in the area.

WIP of my The Warm Hands of Ghost fic

(This might be all of it on account of I lost the ability to write again so posting just in case- Spoilers, happens years after the book, proceed under the cut :))

Despite the things Penelope Shaw had done, the choices she'd made, Laura still named her first born daughter after her, six years after she had lost Pim. Her son, who came four years later, she'd named after her brother. 

It was them, 15 year old Pim Jones and 11 year old Freddie Jones, that Laura thought of when the news of the war broke. 

Or, more specifically, the word of Canada joining the war. 

Freddie, thankfully, was way too young to join the effort. He still had a boyish face, his voice hadn't dropped, even if he tried to enlist they'd never let him.  

Pim was closer to the right age, but still she was off. And in the last war nurses had to be at least 21, not the 18 of men, and had to be formally trained as a nurse. 

Laura herself was free of the war too, when nurses couldn't be older than 39, and she was past that.

The only one left to worry over was her husband. Stephen. She thought there might be a chance he'd stay, now that he'd built so much at home. 

He was the one who'd wanted children- the one who suggested they start trying. He prayed for a son throughout the entire pregnancy, and when Pim was born she became his entire world, even when she wasn't the son he'd wanted. 

And then he got a son, one Laura took charge on naming, just as she had with Pim. She'd told him that he could name the next one, but the next one never came, and Stephen told her that two was all he'd ever need. That his family was perfect, that nothing mattered more. 

He'd proved that just she was enough, when he showed up on her doorstep immediately after the war had ended. When he’d stayed, long after. Making the large move from America to Halifax for her, because he knew that even if he’d already moved to a different part of the province she’d never leave her brother. 

She wondered what her brother and Winter thought of the news, but it fell second in her mind to the wonder of what her husband thought. 

And the wonder of if her husband still thought he had a duty to do even after so much service already, and after so much left to do at home.

It’s the 6th January so Happy pseudo birthday Sherlock Holmes! The only character I actually like that shares his birth month with me. We’re only just over a week and 145 years apart in age…..Also he’s fictional and I’m a real person but eh 🤷‍♀️

[talesofsorrowandofruin]

Mine Eyes Dazzle update: I would like a time machine so I could warn past me. Or possibly slap past me for giving me all this extra work 🙃

[ganymedian]

Fun fact!

The Bunker takes place in 1916, World War 1, but tabletop radios such as these wouldn’t come around until after World War 2.

ooh my pretty little deadly thing

[doldrum]

It's incredibly funny to me that somehow someone else managed to have both ssss and evillious as interests considering how goddamm small both of em are but heyyy

AYYYY! Small fandom solidarity!

In all honesty I haven't been deeply into SSSS in ages but I am still fond of it and it's setting.... anon thank you for reminding me.

Fun fact: I've liked to imagine the Grath era undead as similar to SSSS trolls and monsters. Mostly because I dearly wish mothy had expanded more on the undead during Grath

zedric wilhelm faust | durmstrang

zedric was a durmstrang student at the same time as alexej kavinsky was. he was a snob who spent his time with who ever was most popular.

though he seemed strong, zedric was actually not the warrior type that durmstrang was forming him into being. he was more sensitive and had a great love for horses and sports, even competing in flying horse races and quidditch.

after graduating zedric and alexej both joined the AM movement.

he was engaged to ione avery but she broke the engament off as her heart belonged to someone else. @cursed-herbalist

9 for the ask game 💖

Answering this by popular demand lol.

I feel like my choice is pretty uncommon, but a while ago my good friend @breitzbachbea showed me a short fic (or the beginning for a fic) she wrote that was set in Ancient Rome/Ancient Greece. It feels like it’s still such an unexplored territory hetalia-wise, despite making for a super interesting setting and the chance to make chibi characters like Italy, Egypt, or Greece interact with their canon ancestors! Yeah, that’s the time period I’ll go with.

I had the most insanely detailed dream about the plot of Flux that I'm going to write it down because there is absolutely no way in hell the actual episode could be a patch on the miracle day/time travelly/ angsty juiciness my exhausted brain banged out

[surrogate-gaia-art]

From the mountains of Orcarus march the Witch Companies of Lost Rookerus, dressed in the regalia of their ancestral coven.

Witches are a strange species of magical beings, whose existence and biology is as convoluted and mysterious as their motives. From roving warbands and death cults, to familial kinships and fanciful troupes, each Witch Cult is a community of sorceresses and viragoes trying to survive in a post-war world.
