Came across your page, and wanted to say how much I loved this book as a kid. My muse is unfortunately from a different era (18th c), so unless you wanted to do time travel or modern, I doubt you'd be interested. But it was cool to get reminded by one of my favorite books from middle school!
oh my goodness, thank you so much!!! i was afraid this wouldn't be well-received because i've seen backlash it got by people who hadn't actually even read it and quite literally judged its cover, but it's one of the most beautiful, tragic, heartbreaking, gorgeous stories i've ever read and i wish it got more credit. i would love to see a remake of the movie that's more true to the book, as the made-for-tv movie in 1978 was watered down to be more palatable. we read the diary of anne frank in middle school, but i read this on my own in high school and fell in love with the story. i revisited it later in my late 20s and appreciated it even more, it's haunted me in the most beautiful way. i feel like this hits harder emotionally for adults, even if it's a smaller book, because reading it both times, i had a different understanding of it.
i'd need to think about how patty would fit into that era, but i'm totally willing to do modern patty!!! i've actually thought about that and i've made modern playlists and started developing some headcanons. also, i have another muse that would fit into the 18th century!!! @darkwavedreams my goth girly who would be a poet or a fashion designer ahead of her time in that century. i'm willing to do an AU!

🕊️ haunted heart | @lovedefied — betrayed, brave and blooming. selective indie RP for patricia “patty” bergen from summer of my german soldier / morning is a long time coming.
Hi, I'm Kitty! (cis female, she/her, 25)
✨ looking for:
💔 Anton Reiker (bookverse, alt timeline, or modern AU — let's explore “what if he lived?” and make it tender, tragic, and so slow burn it leaves a mark) (also I have FC suggestions!!)
🖤 Ruth Hughes (the moral compass, the mother figure, the backbone of Patty’s humanity. let’s give her space to breathe)
🌸 Original characters (small-town souls, strict teachers, distant cousins, or even other WWII refugees and survivors—build Patty’s world with me.)
🌧️ OC friends in modern AU (bookish girls, poetry club mutuals, the roommate who finds the ring and asks “who’s Anton?”)
💌 expecting:
character-driven plots with emotional depth
trauma-informed writing, literary prose, slow-burn intimacy
threads that feel like dog-eared diary entries and broken sonnets
lots of tragic tenderness and healing in quiet moments
historical canon? yes. modern reimaginings? also yes.

damn. i'm really alone in this, huh?
sometimes the worst feeling in the world is when you love a book and its characters so much and you're speaking into the void and talking to yourself with no answer because nobody cares and nobody's listening. and i know i can't force people to care about a story they don't want to read or even know about and it just sucks, i think i'm the only person who actually likes this book????
and then don't even get me started on the fake booktok/book vloggers who do it for clout but if you give them book recs, they didn't even hear you. what was that sound? a dog barking? back to checking their followers.
don't tell me you like vintage if you'll wear something from a thrift shop but won't read any book that wasn't written before the 2000s.

deleting all my roleplay blogs for my personal safety because i'm being cyberstalked by someone here and they're crossing legal and ethical lines to threaten me, my loved ones and relationships irl. thank you for all the good times, goodbye. stay safe in this vile, toxic community. you don't know what psychopath will come after you if they don't get their way or the lengths they'll go to. i hope this never happens to anyone else.

For my English (ELA) class at school. I drew Patty (left) and Sharon (right) Bergen from the novel we were assigned, Summer of My German Soldier. It was a great book, but very heart-wrenching. ;n;
These were originally separate, but I merged them together once they were scanned. Enjoy. :)
#omg???#patty fanart???#this is the equivalent of receiving a bouquet of flowers for my soul#this made my whole day#i'm so glad someone loves her as much as i do :')

Softer Love
"Will you hold me? Just for a while?"
"It's not too much to ask for - to be loved."
"It feels better when you're here."
"Hold my hand. Don't let go."
"Promise me you'll hold on."
"I don't feel so cold now. Because you're here."
"My heart aches when you're away."
"Share a blanket with me?"
"We should just stay in and watch a movie."
"Oh, I saw this and thought of you."
"I wanted to bring you here. I knew you'd like it."
"Let me take you to my favourite place."
"You light up the room for me."
"I can hear your breathing. It makes me feel safe."
"Can I listen to your heartbeat?"
"We don't need to do anything. I just want you to be here."
"Can I hold your hand?"
"You bought this for me..?"
"You're always cold, so I got you a scarf."
"I know you're right behind me."
"I can't sleep until I hear you get home."
"You can tell me when you're not okay."
"Just get some rest, okay? I'll be right here."
"I bought your favourite food."
"I made you your favourite meal."
"I picked up some of that tea you like."
"Oh! I saw a dog today, let me show you a picture -"
"You were talking in your sleep. It was cute."
"I can't imagine being here without you."
"I had a nightmare that you left me."
