I can't help but notice that your stories are quite unique. The nurse-sculptor, after WW1 - I could not have expected this in any way. War is a very scary action and the number of "broken faces" is simply incredible. Unusual and interesting -but now he can play Frankenstein in the theater. excuse me-
Thank you very much :) The sculpting part came right when I starting thinking about the plot. I thought I would be really fitting and an easy explanation on why and how the nurse could craft prosthetics.
I just discovered your channel and, as a history nut, this is a video I've been wanting for a very long time and I dare say its absolutely PERFECT. I can't wait to look at your other works!
Interesting timing of finding this, just finished reading The Facemaker, book on Harold Gillies, a surgeon who helped pioneer reconstruction surgery and prosthetics during and after the great war. He quickly became a hero to me in his dedication to give back some semblance of dignity and sense of self to the victims of a horrific conflict. Loved the authenticity in your writing and your line delivery is totally convincing, it's a pretty heart breaking subject for entertainment purposes but you handled it really really well.
Thank you so much for your comment. I'm really glad this audio wasn't too much or insensitive. And thanks for the book reference. I didn't know about it! I'll check it out :)
This one brought me lots of memories from documentaries about the aftermath of WWI, specially this topic about veterans. I can't avoid to think about how someone could get back into "the normal life" when being "broken" physically & mentally. Coming from a genuine/historical event you did such a great job to capture it in an audio, while keeping it serious and respectful 👏🏻 You're amazing Miss Shadows! I absolutely love your channel 🖤
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed this audio. It's indeed really difficult to think that someone who lived through all this could, at some point, go back to a normal life. I'm sure it's almost impossible or extremely difficult.
I can't help but notice that you released this right before Veteran's Day in the U.S. and Remembrance Day in France. It is a fitting tribute to past generations that fought so hard for freedom and witnessed such horrible things.
Great audio. It’s a good time to reflect on how much medical technology and science has progressed since the First World War and how, despite being a blight to creation, war has been on the decline since the forties and weapons that used to be common have been banned for being too cruel. On a semi related side note, talking about facial reconstruction surgery reminded me of the old Pulp novel hero “The Shadow” who in the books is a WW1 veteran named Kent Allard who lost most of his face in the war but it allows him to use makeup and molds to impersonate other people. It’s how he is able to impersonate Lamont Cranston (who is The Shadows real identity in the radio show) while the real Lamont is vacationing in Europe. Just thought that was interesting.
Thank you very much for the reference! I didn't know a thing about it. I'll take a closer look at this pulp, it seems super interesting, and right on the topic of the audio.
❤ the audio It's sad that we'll never hear WW1 stories as horrible as their experiences may be anymore. I've had family members fight over in Europe for Canada 🇨🇦 and now the stories are slowly erased from history as generations come and go as the past thou already dead becomes more of a distant memory. 🪖🎖 The ambiance is amazing and the music is an unknown, but comforting and beautiful mystery. I look forward to more situations like this gem of an audio. 💎 Author JRR Tolkien used his WW1 experiences for his Lord of the Rings novels. I also recommend watching the movies East of Eden and Gallipoli. Please, keep striving and make something like this a lil' more, it's possible I might come up with ideas for you down the line. ❤ 🇫🇷
I guess this is what time is all about, isn't it? It goes on and on, without ever stopping. So past events slowly fade from common memory. But because the XXthe century and its conflicts were such a pivot in humankind's history, I'm sure it'll still be here. Not as prominent as it used to, but is really left a mark on the world's history. Every time I come back a Tolkien book I can't stop thinking how the war inspired him and how it imprinted his work. Gives me the chills just thinking about it. As for this type of stories, I don't want to make too much of them because it holds, probably, more meaning than any other plots I come up with. I really need to think these through and work on them more than usual. But I won't stop making them, that's for sure!
I think it's different listeners but maybe the same nurse. Im the bar roleplay, the listener character had a shrapnel scar but not facial reconstruction iirc
You remember the nurse from the bar roleplay! Thank you so much :) It could have indeed be a nice link between the two... I'll try to incorporate more "Easter eggs" in future audios :)
*Oh boy that nurse sure was cute i'm gonna ask her out the next time i see her and I hope i don't get blown the fuck up by a nazi :D* Me as a soldier probably
Thank you for the video. Unfortunately, our governments never did learn, and my government isn't going to fail another time. Are you a sculptor, or a nurse, in real life?
Unfortunately some countries don't care about their vets at all... which is horrible considering these people give their lives to protect their country... And no, I'm not a sculptor, nor a nurse.

@@WhisperingShadowsASMR it makes a lot of sense, great work on that.

I found your channel through a friend, and I absolutely loved this audio! Keep up the fantastic work!
Thank you very much and welcome here :) And cheers to your friend for introducing you to this channel!

I really wanted to touch on this subject at the beginning of November. It's always important to remember.
"Your here for face reconstruction?"
GODDAMN CALM DOWN HOLY SHIT.
...hope she has the aloe, my god.
I appreciate how original your videos are! Thank you.
Thank you :)
Thanks for another medical audio, WS - just finished listening to the android doctor one. Hope you're well. Merci bien!.
You're very welcome :) Hope you enjoy the content here and thank you for your comment :)
I love the French accent, this was awesome!
Very thoughtfully done. You're the best :)
Thank you :)

Medical technology and plastic surgery came a long since WW1
❤ the audio

This is just a farewell to arms
Honor and remember the fallen and their sacrifices
The wounds to your body heal but the wounds to your soul will never heal
Indeed, I guess the wounds of the soul are the worst to live with.
Was this inspired by farewell to arms?
I was inspired by The Officer's Ward, but Hemingway's novel is also a very interesting testimony on WWI. Great reference!
I'd like to think this is same Nurse from the bar roleplay but she didn't recognize me in the bar.

@@WhisperingShadowsASMR of course! It's one of my favorite audios!
*Oh boy that nurse sure was cute i'm gonna ask her out the next time i see her and I hope i don't get blown the fuck up by a nazi :D*
Me as a soldier probably
Why wait 21 years to ask her out?
My friend that group only showed up after ww1;)

@@WhisperingShadowsASMR Thank you. The American Government at least did take care of my father. He was a fighter pilot in World War II.
