Imagine how upsetting it would be for Jonathan to realise he still has to wear his glasses over his new face hole. Like would he wear normal glasses or a customised big monocle?

here’s some cool history I need to ramble about!
In June of 1941, Operation Barbossa was underway, and the Soviets grew desperate as Nazi troops pressed on Moscow and Leningrad. With need for more troops, opportunity was found in a previously ignored source. Soviet women had been allowed support roles such as medical assistance and the transportation of ammunition and aircraft, but had yet to participate in combat. This all changed when in June of 1942, Stalin gave permission for the 588th Night Bomber Regiment, an all-female squadron nicknamed by German troops as “The Night Witches”, to take flight.
The regiment was created by the “Soviet Amelia Earhart” Marina Raskova, who petitioned Stalin for an all female regiment after receiving hundreds of letters from women all around the Soviet Union determined to join combat, many of whom had lost loved ones in the war. On October 8, 1941, Stalin gave orders to deploy three all-female air force units. The women would fly missions and drop bombs as well as return fire. Raskova formed a team of 400 women per union from thousands of recruits. The recruits went through compressed education, having to learn what would take male soldiers several years in only a few MONTHS. Despite their proven competence, they still faced criticism and sexual harassment from male soldiers and military personnel.
To make matters worse for the women, they received hand me down uniforms from male soldiers and were now allowed what was considered “luxury items” for navigation. Instead, the tools they could use consisted of rulers, compasses, flashlights and pencils. Their planes didn’t fair much better. Instead of more modern planes, they were given crop-duster biplanes made out of plywood and canvas! They were often referred to as “coffins with wings”. As well as ridiculously fragile, the night flights would get to freezing temperatures, making the outsides of the planes so cold that touching them would rip off skin. The maximum speed was less than stall time on regular military planes and their weight meant they had to fly lower to the ground, making them an even bigger target for enemies.
With less than stellar conditions, the women completed 30,000 missions, dropping over 20,000 tons of bombs onto enemy targets. They executed between eight and 18 missions a night, flying back to re-arm between runs since they could only carry two bombs at a time. The planes would find their target and cut their engines, silently gliding over their enemies as they dropped the bombs, completely undetected. This is where they earned their name, the “Night Witches”, due to the whoosh of air as they glided over sounding like the sweep of a broom. After dropping the bombs, the women would go ONTO THE WING of the plane to manually restart the engine.
These women terrified the Germans. Without the sound of the engine or the ability to detect them over radio, they were practically invisible. Quick, silent, and deadly accurate, the Night Witches Worchesany German able to take down a Night Witch would instantly be awarded an Iron Cross.
They quickly became a crucial asset in winning the war, and on May 4th, 1945, they took their final flight, three days before the war ended.
Although relatively unknown, they are some of the highest decorated heroes of the war, and are really really really cool to learn about okay that’s all
Oh and there’s a great song about them by Sabaton!

hi hi hi i am trying SO HARD to get back into the groove working on my fic (occupational hazards). i think i'm gonna reply to some ao3 comments, that usually helps. pardon me for being months late.
also i run on dopamine (and/or spite) so... if you like my fics you should pop into my inbox (anon is enabled) and you can show me your pet, send me the most creative threat you can (a la 'if you don't write this fic stephen will have a corruption arc that isn't even well-written'), tell me how you think a safety inspection for stephen's workplace would go, etc. rambling about the fic should help. i hope.
