#wwii reenactment

[aceofwhump]

Hi everyone!

Sorry I've been a little absent for a bit. First I got sick which took me a while to get last and this past week I spent time travelling! Aka I was participating in a WWII reenactment which means no internet. It was such a blast as usual but man I'm tired lol. Here have some pics:

Back home now and exhausted but super eager to see what I've missed here for whumptober! I'm finally over my illness and my schedule is now gonna open up a bit which missed I have more time and energy for gifmaking and finally answering all of your lovely messages that have been waiting in my inbox (sorry for making y'all wait!) Also today was the last post I had prepped for whumptober so I'm gonna be behind now but I am not giving up!

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

I just need someone to admire my work.

My husband and I have been cosplaying for years and have entire personas worked out for our WWII reenactment characters. (We both cosplay Soviets.)

Recently we lost my father, and we are both doing grief counseling together because my father was practically my husband's father. So I promised him I would make him a bookmark for his book so he doesn't have to use tissue.

So here are the results!

I am definitely into the sloppy type of art which I'm not even sure what to call it. His character is named Luka and mine is Emiliya.

I wrote a personal message on the back for him as well and put millions of stickers on it but that's more private and just for him.

Unlocking my full potential as a historical reenactor today

Three members of the WWII Airborne Demonstration Team display the typical loadout of gear worn by US Paratroopers of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions on D-Day.

The WWII ADT was one of several groups of airborne re-enactors that jumped in period-correct uniforms and gear, with authentic military canopy parachutes, from a fleet of C-47 ‘Dakotas’ onto original D-Day drop zones during the 75th anniversary of D-Day on June 6, 2019.

I'm still giggling over the fact that when I watched the trailer for the Six Triple Eight movie and I went "I know him!"

The him was in fact not a him. It is in fact this vehicle:

My friend owns it. It's called the Phantom. I see and ride in it all the time. Seeing it in the trailer got me all excited like I was seeing a celebrity lol.

Allright! Now we are coooking!

Yes its from the 1960s, but it will do the job while I continue to slowly fix my 1920s typewriter!

Let the historical letters begin (because my handwiting is so embarrasingly bad I can't send anything I've handwritten out of shame so I am retyping them)!
