Tokoyami Island appeared out of nowhere in the Pacific. An unclaimed island where it was only ever night, it became the main battleground towards the end of the great war. Electromagnetic waves from the aurora destroyed electronic equipment, resulting in pre-modern close-quarters combat.
what are you!! why are you!! who did this!! why did they all gather there!!!!
#on a meta level it's asagiri creating a setting where WW1 could happen close to the 2000s without having to rewrite technological evolution#but on a narrative level#how did a whole island appear out of nowhere and why did everyone care about it???#i sense foul play and manipulation#bsd#bsdrewatch2023

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
#the ww2 aspect of narnia is interesting flavor but like. it's not really essential#lots of books are inextricably linked to their historical contexts such that they can't be properly understood without them#i honestly don't think lww is one of them#the turn of the century setting of mn is far far more important to the story proper than ww2 is for lww#bc of the role it plays in genre and the influence of lewis's childhood on the story#the evacuation of london has one (1) essential story function: it gets the kids into a strange country house and away from their parents#you'll notice it gets dropped entirely in subsequent books#it's very interesting set dressing and definitely cool to play with#but narnia is not at its heart a ww2 story#if anything it's a ww1 story#narnia#idk why but I'm feeling very salty today

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)
#all quiet on the western front#ww1#art#comics#im westen nichts neues#ramblings#remarque playing durty with setting the scene with funny me and the boys stories and then doing this#no one talks about this scene to the point where im starting to think i hallucinated it

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.

Made 6th of August 2021

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.
#If you want unrelated nurse content I have two drabble/wips of my original character ww1 nursing sisters to post on my alt#on my writing account#coincidentally they're also not full pieces of writing and set after the war#(excuse? I haven't done enough research on the war yet)#Anyway they're lesbians and the main characters of the historical fiction I've decided to write#Also like if any of this is inaccurate historically please forgive me believe me#this was supposed to be fun and easy and bullshit but I googled so much it hurts me so much#the warm hands of ghosts#the warm hands of ghosts fanfiction#fan fic#fan fiction#writing#the warm hands of ghosts wip#wip#fan fic wip#books#jamie shut the fuck up#personal blog#just vibing#rambling

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 🤷♀️
#acd sherlock holmes#sherlock holmes#I’m writing my own Sherlock Holmes series set during WW1 and after#so this is appropriate#plus he’s my favourite Victorian detective#so fuck it#happy birthday Sherlock Holmes

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 🙃
#nerissa rambles#writing#my WIPs#WIP: dazzle#this would be so much easier if I hadn't made it a prequel OR hadn't set it in Shanghai#this AU started out as simply 'no WW1'#now it's turning into 'China won the First Sino-Japanese War‚ so the Boxer Rebellion never happened‚#so China is in a completely different situation in Yo-han's 1905 than it was in real-world 1905'#this could be the premise of a ten-book series focusing just on the consequences of all these differences#unfortunately I'm only trying to write a murder mystery#if only I'd set it in 1925#I could just handwave all the differences as the result of no WW1#instead I have to figure out when‚ why and how much the timeline diverged#🙃🙃🙃

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.
#likely a deliberate choice#amnesia: the bunker#frictional games#the story could only work in a ww1 setting#because you can plausibly deny Henri radioing for help#with the argument that communication cables were frequently destroyed with bombing#but the radio segment is iconic. Rule of Cool#Youtube

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
#evillious chronicles#ssss#Mothy you can't just drop zombies into a ww1/interwar setting and then NOT expect me to lose my mind

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
#zedric faust#hp ww1 era#hp wwi era#I blame less for this#but he's here#and though he was supposed to be a real jerk i kind of like him now oops#annie's side characters#we're not completely set on if it's engagement or something else but ione and zedric are in no way gonna be endgame.#the durmstrangs are coming

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.
#you see I was forced to learn too many numbers and dates and boring stuff in school so I basically stopped listening in history class once#we reached the Middle Ages#but ugh I loved learning about Egypt Greece Rome. that’s where it’s at for me#also you see in a country like Austria you learn so so much about ww1 and ww2. which is important. but I fail to use any knowledges about#these for fics or really enjoy one that’s set during that time#riva.ask

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
#doctor who#dreams#it was excellent a solid 7.5/10 plotline and i have the feeling it was in full colour#and dream me got a hug so its all good#there was angst about... a ww1 soldier? and an alien? and a ruined cathedral as the set#and a flying train#whats not to love about a dream this intense#sadly i woke up before the end
