overlooked tragic part of Charlie’s backstory is that his time in Arkham lasted like… two years.
like obviously we know how much Roland meant to him, but three years feels like a criminally small amount of time together.
#For reference wwi ended November 1918#Malev s4 takes place December 1934#Take away 13 and a half years for Egypt-dreamlands-NY#They had no more than two years together#It’s absolutely devastating how quickly Roland was taken from him#malevolent#malevolent podcast#charlie dowd#detective noel#roland cummings

Using my own art I made for a shitpost on another shitpost because I may be cringe but I am RIGHT
#yes Miranda had a midlife crisis in her early 20s and never stopped having it 100 years later#your 20s were your midlife in the 1918#she could have just gotten a sports car but noooo bitch had to be dramatic and become a mold god while committing 3747357 attrocities#mother miranda#resident evil village#captain's art log

(from this ask game)
I chose this snippet because I am really, really excited for this subplot in 1918. Let's call it "Edward Becomes a Confession/Absolution Junkie at a Young Age." (This scene is in early 1918, so he's sixteen still.)
“Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.” The gruff, familiar voice gave a cough that sounded more like a familiar chuckle. “Ah, here’s my favorite penitent. I was beginning to worry.” “It’s been seven days since my last confession.” “Actually,” Father Brian said from behind his screen. “It’s been seven days and three hours and… hold a moment… twenty-seven minutes.” I scowled at the screen. Confession was supposed to be a serious business. Lately my aging priest seemed determined to keep it as frivolous as possible. “You’re making fun of me again.”
#inbox#ask game#Edward#OC: Father Brian#1918 stuff#Tale of Years#Translation:#The priest is REALLY trying to wean Edward off this habit and Edward is Not Having It#Surely being adopted by an Anglican will fix this

“The world will end with a deluge!” “The world will end with a fire!” At midnight, daughter and mother disputing like water and fire.
Marina Tsvetaeva, Moscow in the Plague Year, November 7th, 1918
#Marina Tsvetaeva#Poetry#Moscow in the Plague Year#1910s#1918#looking at my scribbles from 2019 and I think this is how I should transcribe it#or maybe the quotation marks are wrong for dialogue#but it's what I wrote and I don’t have a copy of this book to check#so#My Post

Something so sexy about photography. Like we will never be able to go back to this moment ever again but it’s also right here in our hands, captured forever.
#ori#photography#feeling existential#we long to preserve our best moments#and that desire and love permeates through time#I can look through a photograph and see 1918 and 2025 simultaneously#and witness the same light that they did 100 years ago

Every time I visit my grandma, I find another small treasure in her library - this time a book from 1856 and one from 1793:
#books#old books#antique books#Fraktur(schrift)#it feels so weird thinking about the fact that both books were printed while the House of Habsburg was in power#monarchies and emperors/empresses just seem so far back in time#until I remember they officially ruled until 1918 - just a year before my great-grandmother (who almost lived to 100) was born

What if these are the bad times
#what if we think 1918 was a terrible year. medieval times the Dark Ages#but it's actually now terrible?#what if humans look back on the 21st century with pity and vicarious agony#😩#margot's monologue

you're so right actually
"I can't believe [media] was actually about _____ the whole time!!!"
[one possible interpretation, yep]
[literally the main theme??]
[worst take you've seen in your life]
#literally every time i see those posts i get the urge to become the most annoying Well Actually- person ever#(especially the ones that joke about tolkien denying it but the book still has xyz elements#i always just want to pull out the foreword and point at the specific quotes of what was actually said because come on#like he literally outright says that an author's lived experiences are gonna impact their books#but that it's more complicated than simple one to one correlation#also what he's largely specifically addressing in the foreword isn't even the correlations with ww1#it's specifically 'this is not about world war two or its conclusion guys for fuck's sake'#the mention of ww1 is... let me find the quote#'it is also false [--] when the lives of an author and critic have overlapped to suppose that [--] the events of times common to both#were necessarily the most powerful influences. One has indeed personally to come under the shadow of war to feel fully its oppression;#but as the years go by it seems now often forgotten that to be caught in youth by 1914 was no less hideous an experience#than to be involved in 1939 and the following years.#By 1918 all but one of my close friends were dead.'#like. that is practically an outright admission of the impact ww1 had on his work!#the fact that it *influenced* his work doesn't mean his work was *about* the war. it is not. but he was in no way denying the impact ww1 ha#like literally what he says in the foreword that seems to somehow have gotten twisted into 'he says he wasn't affected by ww1' by some#much more boils down to 'hey guys 1) it's not an allegory it's not secretly about anything in the real world it's its own story#2) also even if it was allegorical it wouldn't be about world war 2 and world war 2 was not the war that had the most impact on my work'#okay sorry for the rant but just. ugh. it really does grind my gears)#jrr tolkien#lord of the rings#lotr#middle-earth

A random headcanon for 1918
One of Elizabeth's protests re: Edward joining the army was his asthma. He always scoffed at this and reminded her that he had outgrown his asthma years ago.
Not only is outgrowing asthma not a thing, but he was also outright lying to her about it. His asthma symptoms were still exacerbated by exercise, especially in colder weather, and he knew it. He continued to push himself in order to prepare, gritting his teeth through the familiar symptoms because he was determined to beat it. Determined to be that That Edward.
In other words, if the Spanish flu hadn't killed him, life in the trenches would have. Because this boy has always had a terminal case of StubbornIdiotitis.
#Edward#Tale of Years#I love my dumb son so much#Headcanon#Asthma#1918 stuff#Once again I am asking if anyone has seen a good AU fic where Edward actually makes it to the trenches#WWI#World War One#The Great War

Me enjoying making letters of my babis for the archives late at night :>
#shin's rambles#Although it's a bit repetitive since their goal is to snoop around Group 935 and their works#The fact that in Origins the first letters of Dempsey Nikolai and Takeo were set during Ber Months#While the second letters were set around the first few months of the year 1918#Hmm... Maybe I should make the babis' second letter set around January to May since Origins was set around June 4 1918#Ngl I love how I wrote the letters but will keep on looking for a better font so that it looks like their handwriting#For the Primis Salvatorix I think Stefan will have the journal entries like Richtofen does :]#Since it will show both perspectives from a Group 935 employee and a bunch of international spies sent by their respective countries kshdhd

i think the taylor swift tour could be studied as one of the biggest if not the biggest superspreader event of 2023
#during the beginning of the spanish flu pandemic in 1918 there was a big parade that was supposed to happen in Philadelphia and in St Louis#but the latter cancelled theirs#Philadelphia didn’t. it’s estimated that 12000 died there in the next 6 weeks. all 31 hospitals in the city were filled. their superspreader#event was catastrophic and over 100 years later it has gone down in history as a massive mistake#in a few decades i think there will be someone writing a paper or a book and they’ll be able to use data and social media posts to prove it#im just frustrated. there are other things that contribute but i think these era tour concerts will go down as uniquely bad#covid tw

Testimonial Tribute to Truman
"Harry Truman was at heart a nineteenth-century man... His outlook, tastes, his habits of thought had been shaped by a different world than the one that followed after 1918...
He had been more at home in the older era. He never learned to like the telephone..." -- David McCulloch ("Truman") on my man's feelings about technology among other items
"I have always wondered how things would have turned out in my life if the war had not come along just when it did." -- Harry Truman (Memoirs: Volume I)
Waging war on technology in the 21st century, Parzival
#harry truman#Outranking FDR IMHO#mount rushmore#All minus Jefferson plus Truman#circa 1918#Only 2001 among other years
