#vj day

[newyorkthegoldenage]

Chinatown residents were especially happy when Japan surrendered in World War II--the country had invaded China in 1931 and by this time the death toll was about 20 million. But they brought out the Stars and Stripes to celebrate V-J Day, August 14, 1945.

Alternate Reality V-J Day celebration in Times Square with Cap and Peggy!

[randomgurustuffs]

It's VJ Day (Victory over Japan Day), the anniversary of the end of WWII-sort of. While Japan surrendered on August 15, 1945, the surrender documents were not signed until Sept 2nd aboard USS Missouri. A famous photo was taken of the celebrations in Time Square on August 14th when Truman announced to the nation that the war was over. In the photo, a sailor kisses a nurse. Here I've drawn myself and my lovely bride-to-be @temper-temper replicating this.

Today, August 14th is the anniversary of V-J Day.  Victory Over Japan day was when President Harry S. Truman announced, on Aug. 14, 1945, that Japan had surrendered unconditionally. Seventy seven years later, photos from that day still manage to capture the joy that people felt when both sides of the Axis had conceded, bringing an end to war and rationing. Silk stockings were rationed during the war and women were ready to quit painting their legs, leading to DuPont creating nylon as a replacement for silk. Even after the war women continued having difficulty obtaining DuPont nylons, which led to "silk riots" after V-J Day that continued through March 1946. At one point, 40,000 women lined up for a mile to compete for 13,000 stockings that were in stock. It took months for nylon production to meet demand. These Trivinia family women on the Long Branch Boardwalk in New Jersey celebrated V-J Day by seemingly celebrating the return of nylons. Maybe a bit premature, but their enthusiasm is contagious and helps us relate back to what they must have felt during this time. Original memory shared on AncientFaces

Isaiah 52: Beautiful Are The Feet

God knows every story, and God’s timing is perfect for every person. You and I are too finite to fully grasp the magnitude of this truth. But we are able to at least trust God with it. #Isaiah52 #BeautifulAreTheFeet

God knew God’s people had suffered terribly. God knew they had drunk to the dregs God’s purifying wrath over their sin, and it had been intensely painful. The consequences of the people’s sin were a terrible thing. And the cup God had given them was to last seventy long years. But, Isaiah prophesied, the time of their suffering would come to an end. God would now pass that cup of wrath to the…

It Snowed ❄️

Me and my sisters slid down the hills in my neighborhood.

I fell out of my sled the most and hit the curb the most.

I'm fine tho, it was a lot of fun.

Everyone was happy on V-J Day, August 14, 1945. Even the cop takes the teasing with a smile.

⚠️ READ: Please do not repost/reupload any of my art here or to any other platform, or I will be forced to do anything to get it annihilated.

I took this set of 'Past Years 2071 Vijay' back in September last year, if I recall it right. So this is a post I'm desperate to get rid off since a few months now but I do not find the muse nor time to continue with his back story yet. This is the one were he gets to know Ryder and I do not want to write it down in a hurry. So I have to post these pics without any ficlet text (which hurts me in some way bc it was intended for it and my plan did not work out – I'm just a little hard on myself here I know lol).

Still do love this shoot, tho So I do not just abandon it pretending I never made it either. I have some personal memories tied to it since it was the time I started diving into AMM and spent more time in the Afterlife testing everything out than I've spent time in the Afterlife on my PS4 playing the game lol. Yet I am already dissatisfied looking at the set up lights (white on the right, green on the left + super annoying surrounding lights, no photomode stubble beard too). It was also that time, I've tried to give my pics some color pop so they fit the overall game but this is simply not my style — never has been. When I look at these pics the urge to desaturate is very high right now or give them another colograding that is more pleasing to my yes at last. So I'll definitely redo these pics in some other way when the time comes to retake this ‘past years’ shot again! Not sure if I'm gonan take the pics i nthe Afterlife again. Vijay became merc on 2073/74 so it does not make a lot of sense to me to shoot him there. I'll think of another location. I thought the spot was cool and coloful enough for him back then.

And yup, Vijay had same hair back then as Jaysen has now. I loved 2071 Vj's hair a whole lot. Even thought of giving it back to 2077/78 Vijay, too, but I think he matured a lot since then and his actual hair mods fits him way better. I'll continue to use it for past pics (which includes 2071/72 Ryder too) tho. :) And Jay has this hair now anyways – so I'm pleased too, hehe. it's amazing when you have twin characters <3 Also leaving this shot here of ginger cutie:
