#post-war
Hey ! I’m here for the @kakaobiweek!!!
(but a week late… Not enough inspiration/motivation to be on time )
Day 1 : Post-war
I recently bought liners, including a brush one ! I only use this for the line, because it won’t last long if I also use it to color
(And I’m aware that I’ve drawn Obito’s chest quite low )

Hi guys.
I’m so glad so many of you are reading this project, because its something very dear to me and the fact that there are people reading this motivates me to go deeper into this and not shove this project to the side.
Bless you all.
BUT
I’m applying to universities for my MA and that takes time. Unfortunately, I foolishly let real life take a backseat to this blog and now one of the courses I really wanted is Limited Availability now.
In short.
I would really, REALLY appreciate it if you guys could pitch in and submit any pictures you might find which you think could work on this blog. I end up spending about four or five hours at a go finding blog entry appropriate pics and then another hour or so editing them so they look good. In proportion, it usually takes me about an hour to write and edit a post so that its ready to go. The more pics I get, the quicker I can upload, the more you guys get to read. So…
Themes that will be turning up sooner or later:
- Slaves: ok this is URGENT. I need pics of slaves in slave ships - they could be paintings or screencaps, but high quality, high resolution stuff.
- Mughal art & colonial Bengal era photos/pics etc.
- ooo photos from post-war britain, preferably of immigrants from South Asia and the Carribean.
- Celts: red haired ones preferably. + points if they’re painted in blue.
- Scottish clansmen: erm. yeah. Battle scenes esp?
- Saxons: farmers, battles, bonus points if you can find something to do with the Night of the Long Knives. Or like people being butchered at a dinner table. (No, the Red Wedding is too obvious a reference sorry.)
- Hogwarts House motifs: um. Minimalist, preferably. Also if you can get actual pics of animals/people which look nice/fit the pic quality or themes used so far = great.
- 1920s era dudes in a dudeclub. A bit like the Drones club from P G Wodehouse. I have some art for this already, but I like to have a stock to choose from. Tweed+suckerseer suits also work.
- things which could pass for Azkaban. Gloomy stuff.
All submissions should have a source link and I will credit your sumissions at the end of each post. <3
I will be posting, don’t fear, but I would dearly appreciate the help since I’m a bit swamped at the moment.

[[The loveliness behind Postmodern Potterverse has been a huge supporter of this project. I can totally relate to their struggle - I too prefer writing to picture-hunting and I don’t even have workable image editing software so trying to make things look good take up a LOT of time. If you have resources do share!]]
Local bus, foggy windows and plenty of empty seats—still he collapsed next to me, bearded and strangely different. Staring just the same, though. I never expected anything when I asked: So,who are you supposed to be now?
He startled a bit. Didn’t really get it. Who am I? he repeated, eyes wide, green and bright. I—don’t know. Harry, I guess. Just Harry.
Pleasure to meet you, just Harry, I said, for some reason with a smile. I had no way of knowing the future. No way of guessing that Potter—thatjust Harry will become my Harry.

Hello Sweetie!
Sorry for the delay in posts, my laptop died and I had to revive it.
Some years back my dad showed me a paper cutting of this amazing black and white film.
Ida is a Polish film directed by Pawel Pawlikowski. It is set in Poland 1962 after the Second World War. The story revolves around two women, Ida Lebenstein and her aunt Wanda Gruz.
The overall atmosphere of the movie is intense. Pawlikowski manages to express the pain of a whole generation through two characters who are very different from each other.
The camera work is magnificent. The whole film is captured in a single frame. When I watched this film, I only watched it because it was black and white and I was ready to be disappointed but it had the opposite effect. Pawlikowski uses shadow and light to his advantage.
Ida is an orphan who grew up in a nunnery. She is quite, shy. She is saintly, a devout presence who rarely shows any strong emotional reaction when confronted with disturbing news. Agata Trzebuchowska plays the role of Ida. Even though she is a new actress, Trzebuchowska shows the innocence and vulnerability of her character.
Agata Kulesza plays the role of Wanda Gruz perfectly. The character is complex. Wanda is a bitter woman with a horrible past. She is an alcoholic and has multiple partners. Kulesza’s acting is hypnotic; she takes you along for the amazing 80 minute ride.
The movie is slow paced and sometimes there are scenes where the characters are just staring off into the space. It’s like an excellent wine which matures over time. Throughout the movie Ida and Wanda seeks truth about what actually happened to their family. They meet a charming man, Lis, on their journey to whom Ida is attracted.
After discovering the truth Wanda jumps out the window. Ida attends the funeral and meets Lis and they have a night out. Lis asks her to come with him but in the morning Ida goes back to take her vows. The ending is confusing and open for interpretation. I think that Wanda made an impact on Ida’s life.
After all you can’t sacrifice what you’ve never had.
