Propaganda

From an article entitled, “NAZI ESCAPE CORRIDOR NOW IS NARROWED” in the Times Daily, Florence, AL, on this day in 1942: “The Italian radio – perhaps just on a fishing expedition – declared today the 80,733-ton British liner Queen Mary was badly damaged by a torpedo hit off Rio De Janeiro several days ago with 10,000 “North American” soldiers aboard and was trying to reach the Falkland…

“Empress of Asia Funeral Pyre,” Vancouver Province. May 19, 1942. Page 1. ---- Giant Canadian Liner Now Pile of Twisted Steel In East Indies --- Destruction of CPR Luxury Steamship Confirmed --- TOOK TROOPS (By Associated Press) --- MONTREAL, May 19. The Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Asia was bombed to destruction off Sumatra February 5, with the troops she was carrying blasting at the Japanese planes with antiaircraft and machine guns until flames drove them off the ship, it was revealed here today.

Official announcement of the loss said merely that the Asia was destroyed by an air attack while engaged in transporting troops to Singapore. The details of what happened to the former luxury liner were released here in the form of a report to the company from Chief Officer D. Smith.

The attack that ended in loss of the ship started off Sultan Shoal shortly before noon February 5, Chief Officer Smith reported. The death-blow came while the Asia was in a convoy of four transports escorted by the British cruiser Exeter. OFFICIAL STATEMENT. The official announcement read:

"The admiralty have granted permission to Canadian Pacific Steamships Limited to announce that the Empress of Asia was sunk by air attack in the Far East whilst engaged in transporting troops to Singapore."

Registered at Vancouver, the Empress of Asia ran between that port and ports in the Orient. Built in Glasgow in 1913 she was 570 feet long, 68 feet Wide and had a depth of 42 feet.

SECOND LARGEST SHIP. The Empress of Asia was the second largest ship in the Canadian Pacific fleet whose loss has been announced so far in the war.

Most serious loss was that of the 42,000-ton Empress of Britain, flagship of the fleet, in the Atlantic early in the war. In addition, four other ships in the "Beaver" class of freighters operated by the company have been announced as lost the Beaverdale, Beaverburn, Beaverbrae and Beaverford. Also lost was the liner Montrose, which had been converted into an auxiliary cruiser.

The Empress received her death blow from a formation 6 Japanese bombers, the chief officers said, while in a convoy of four transports escorted by the British cruiser Exeter.

The convoy was passing through the narrow Banka Straits when the first attack, by 27 bombers, came. The Empress was last in line and came in for a severe attack, but escaped any direct hits although bomb splinters damaged lifeboats and deck planking. The lethal attack came while the convoy was approaching Sultan Shoal, 16 miles from Keppel Harbor and had to slow down.

“CANADIANS TELL STORY: C.P.R. Luxury Liner Target of 80 Bombs,” Vancouver Province. May 19, 1942. Page 1. ---- AN EAST COAST CANADIAN PORT, May 19. - With the official announcement today of the loss of the Empress of Asia, the story of how the 16,909-ton Canadian Pacific Steamship liner was beached and burned while transporting troops to Singapore may be told as it was given newsmen here by 14 Canadian survivors of the disaster landed April 18.

The Canadians said they were only six miles outside besieged Singapore when Japanese dive-bombers spotted the troop-laden transport and from a height of about 25,000 fort began to plaster the ship with bombs.

(At Montreal, however, Chief Officer D. Smith reported the liner was lost off Shultan Shoal not far from Sumatra in the Netherlands East Indies.)

"About 80 in all were dropped," Owen Gillett of Vancouver, 18-year-old survivor, said, "and five of them were direct hits." Four of the five struck well forward, near the bridge, but one crashed into the galley, causing a fire.

TURNED INTO PYRE. Other fires sprang up and soon flames were roaring through the liner, turning her into a funeral pyre for many of the 44 Canadians in the crew. However, about 100 seamen escaped, along with the majority of the 2500 Imperial troops aboard.

Escape by lifeboats was impossible as they too were burned and crew members said they owed their lives to the Australian sloop Yarra. The little fighting ship sidled up to the blazing behemoth and took off the men, all the time keeping her guns pumping lead into the bomber-filled skies.

The Yarra has gone down since playing her part in rescuing men from the stricken Empress. The Australian sloop was sunk during the Allied withdrawal from the Dutch East Indies.

Attempts to save the Asia were futile, out of control, she drifted into a mine field and finally ran aground, the fire dying down only when nothing was left but her twisted steel skeleton.

I have no idea if I've asked this before, so if I have, deepest apologies 😭

Your GhostSoap is so pretty! I was wondering if you'd be open to drawing any other COD ships, like AleRudy or NikPrice! Heavy on NikPrice, I adore them and there's nearly nothing on them 😢

If not, that's totally understandable! I love all the tiny details in your work, they make it all feel more real. Hope you have a good day!

hey there! no worries, I don't think anyone's asked this before actually..🤔

this may be a *controversial* answer, but truthfully, the only ship I care about is ghostsoap 😔(soapghost, ghoap, Jimon™️, etc...)

I adhere to the ancient laws of otp in that they are the only two losers I care about being in love :'D sure, there are other ships that I can acknowledge and potentially enjoy--but for now, I'm contractually obligated to wave the flag for these bastards only ✌️

thanks for your kind words, regardless <33

#asks #tried to campaign for ''Jimon MacRilish' as a ship name #was met with...a mixed response #still waiting on numbers #but yeah #I can understand what it's like to be into a not so popular ship :(#unfortunately ghost and soap invented yaoi for the troops and british people so I had no choice but to join the hype 😔

The whole "Post being screenshotted and mocked" fiasco has lead me to actually check out what´s happening on the Pjo Twitter side of the fandom out of curiosity and holy shit I have never been more grateful to be a Tumblr user it´s like those guys hate fun and crucify anyone who disagree with them or their opinions??? Like, holy shit I'd like to issue a letter of gratitude to the fandom here, thank you so much for having basic human decency, my gods.

#I knew it was bad but not THIS bad #Gods how do those poor fans that like non-canon ships survive there???#pjo #It feels like they take the canon of the books as the holy word of god and if you stray from it DEATH #Jasico shippers you are braver than our troops I see now how bad you have it over there #Every other non-canon ship too especially involving Nico but you guys seem to be hit the hardest

SEMIFINALS: Max Goof (Disney)/Yakko Warner (Animaniacs) VS Dimentio (Super Paper Mario)/Jevil (Deltarune)

Propaganda for Max Goof/Yakko Warner:

I just like them. I think its cute. Romeo and juliet vibes because theyre from different studios, Disney vs warner brothers. They're both funny, dorky guys, and they bring out the best in each other. Plus only child vs overworked older child turned parent is a really good dynamic too.

YAX SWEEP

#YAX SWEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!

#yakko x max opened my third eye #this needs to be a thing

Cameo of Max's VA expressing approval of the ship~!

#YAX SWEEP #LETS GOOO

#yax propagandists ASSEMBLE

#yax sweep #they deserve it

Ok I keep forgetting to submit my own Yax propoganga but I have put so much thought into them.

They have the same sense of humor, we literally see them tell almost identical jokes. They’re both such dramatic showoffs and they both are schemers, they're both the brains of their group (friends v family)

They’re complimentary.

They’re foils.

Beause Yakko isn’t as open with his emotions, he’s more sarcasti. But Max has been truthful about what he feels since Goof Troop. It's there on the surface and he communicates and understands in ways that would be SO good for Yakko. They're two sides of the same coin. They are opposites but they support each others weaknesses. Yakko wants so badly to make people laugh, and it’s so important to him to do so. His self worth is connected to it, but Max doesn’t like his laugh and suppresses it. It practically writes itself. So yeah, there’s all the fun WB/Disney forbidden lovers, but it works off a dynamic that would already work really well. That's why I like them so much

Propaganda for Dimentio/Jevil:

#JEVENTIO MADE IT IN!!

They’re both insane clowns, they both have purple and yellow in their colors, they both (if you make it to Jevil’s fight) make an effort to kill the player, there’s so much in common.

Silly little guys who kill

CLOWNS

#JEVENTIO SWEEP #I love my chaotic bastards

#JEVENTIO

#GET THOSE CLOWNS TO THE TOP OF THE BRACKET #CMONNNNNN

#as the number one jeventio fan i order ya'll to vote jeventio #PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS #I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SEEING THE SHIP GET RECOGNITION THO THIS IS INSANE

#yay for the clowns!!! #I hope they win this!!

#please vote jeventio!!! #it's a lot more fun!!

#JEVENTIO SWEEP!! #two chaotic clowns is a match made in heaven!!

#JEVENTIO SWEEEEEP

#JEVENTIO?!???? #GO FOR THE CLOWNS YOU DONT UNDERSTAND #spm 🤝 deltarune (having a singular goofy jester. they’re in love btw) #manipulative evil bastard who almost destroyed the ENTIRE MULTIVERSE #x chaotic little ball whos fully convinced you’re all trapped and doomed #also they’re both non-binary. if you even care

I really feel like Jevil and Dimentio would level each other out well! Sure they’re both villains, but that doesn’t make their ship any less sweet!

#GO GO JEVENTIO! WIN WIN WIN!

#VOTE JEVENTIO!! just because something is chaotic doesn’t mean it’s any less loving!!

A Roaring Arrival

From the article “14,690 RETURN ON QUEEN MARY” in the The Spokesman-Review on August 3, 1945: Huge Transport Leads Flotilla Into N. Y. Harbor. Up before the bugler, 14,698 soldiers returning from Europe on the one-time luxury liner Queen Mary roared a pre-dawn greeting to their native land…New York harbor responded with a cry of “Welcome home!” Her gray sides blending with the harbor mist,…
