This took way too long for a comic that's supposed to be self-indulgent and quick,, Apologies if the chat bubbles are confusing on who's talkin..

Anyway another comic for my AU! I'm not sorry for the lack of background cause I really wanted to just focus on the dialogue lawl

Extra doodles I did while making the comic if ya'll want some of it:

a mildly irritating internet phenomenon is people who have a fairly thorough understanding of particular aspects of history but seemingly no grasp of historiography or the process through which that history has reached current understandings

like sometimes i see people criticising historical inaccuracies in fiction from 50+ years ago without acknowledging that they're completely in step with historiography at the time. (and i'm talking ideas about social and political structure, not small details of material culture, so things that often go through big shifts in interpretation.) that WAS the mainstream take at the time and it's what the author would have learned from research. just because we now recognise it as "wrong" doesn't mean that author didn't do research or care about the worldview of their characters. they were in fact trying to do that in the context of the information and interpretations available in their time.

a work of historical fiction from the 1960s tells you about two histories: the one it's set in, and the one it was written in. if you only focus on the first one and completely ignore the second, you are failing to understand the book and its context entirely

some of this is also that many people underestimate how recent a lot of historical discovery and historiographical argument is. they see an "incorrect" idea from the 70s and assume it would have been viewed that way in the 70s when in fact major academic pushback was in the 80s on (or whatever)

like, taking my interest areas of medieval celtic studies... this field is YOUNG. a lot of the current historical and literary consensus developed not only within living memory but in the working life of scholars who are still alive/working. some of the biggest arguments and dramas involved colleagues of people i now personally know. a lot of it went down *just* before i was born, but that doesn't make it distant memory at all. everyone writing in the 80s was writing before that happened

all of this is part of why i hold historical fiction from 50 years ago to wildly different standards than historical fiction published today (another element is the significantly greater challenges to accessing research materials from outside academia pre-internet)

Man that sure is a Situation where two 14 year olds push the limits of each other’s trauma responses until they both reach extreme breaking points. and then they deal with the aftermath basically all by themselves. Isn't that super awesome and totally not kinda fucked up at all.

very funny to me how some people will avoid the word matriarchy like the plague. they’ll describe the ancient societies they’re researching as matrilineal, matrifocal, observe the evidence of goddess worship and the diminished or lack of male gods, and yet cannot bring themselves to even speculate that the society could have been matriarchal

is it a conflation of matriarchy with patriarchy, the idea that matriarchy is just the same oppressive system flipped on men? or is it an unwillingness to recognize that any society had women as its leaders and heads of household?

I'm not even vaguely anti voting but tumblr anarchists are not the missing voters who will decide elections, if you want to get more people voting democrat then you'd get better results by, like, arranging group transport to polling stations for people in historically disenfranchised groups, especially in swing states. georgia didn't go blue in 2020 because we all came together and posted hard enough.

eugene sledge & robert leckie // "station to station"

it's too late to be hateful the European canon is here

-> WATCH ON GOOGLE DRIVE

(i've been thinking about this video for a long time, but this gifset by meg @ww2yaoi really inspired me to finish it. i also drew a lot of inspiration and themes from where to begin by ama @warriorgays. thank you both!)

some content warnings under the cut:

i wanted this video to be a really comprehensive dive into both leckie’s and sledge’s arcs, which meant including the particularly horrible parts of the war: namely the dehumanization of japanese people, the way the marines used that dehumanization to justify their actions, and how it eroded their own humanity in turn. as such, i included a lot of elements of the show that i wouldn’t normally put into a video and that i don’t often see in visual fanworks, so i wanted to content warn accordingly. this video includes (in addition to the usual canon-typical violence and discussion of ptsd):

canon-typical racism including racial slurs, desecration of corpses, animal cruelty, frontal nudity, and suicide

Some similarities and differences in the canvas I thought were interesting !!

- Family meeting?

This really stood out to me because we know that Aiden’s family is wealthy, but it seems like how they came into wealth changed between the canvas and the webtoon. My guess is that they gave this aspect of his character to Logan, since his family is the one that has ties to the contamination facility (Or I could be completely wrong and this family “meeting” could be a reunion or dinner of some kind and not business related).

- Aiden has a fear of heights.

Weird, right? He’s so different in canvas it makes me appreciate his character in the webtoon lol, I like the direction they went in.

- Tyler blaming (?) Ashlyn.

Got a chuckle out of me ngl, good to know their beef is never ending (couldn’t find the exact screenshot I had in mind for the webtoon but ykwim)

- Party Rock Anthem

- Meeting up

Genuinely can not find the screenshot I’m looking for but anyway, In the canvas they never discuss meeting up because it’s the first night they’re there. Aiden and Ben also had drivers licenses (I’m assuming, cuz they both drive) which was another huge difference.
