#cw: nazism mention

[oddthesungod]

Alright, I'm gonna respond to this ask like this because you added your handle (which I recognize) and I cannot answer you privately.

Here's the reason I've blocked you: I have zero interest in interacting with someone that wrote a nazi kink fic involving Spock (bro like, what the fuck????). The fact that I even wrote these words together gives me hives, and I honestly think you're grown enough to know why writing something like that with a character that was played by a jewish man, might make, at best, someone uncomfortable. Do not contact me again.

I got the majority of this information from the YouTuber Annamarie Forcino's video "The Alarming "Gnome Hunting" Trend No One's Talking About". (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pf0bZOMuVFs)

This post is to help spread this information.

Please be aware:

• If you come across anything with the term "gnome hunting" or anything listed below online, block and report the account immediately. If you come across it offline, covertly and safely get the absolute fuck out of there. Warn others.

• Keep yourself safe. As with any bullshit like this these people may be violent. The wearing of tactical gear and the use of the word hunting when talking about a group of human beings is not peaceful or respectful of life. Exercise caution. Especially if you are in a group the groups they're in target.

• This is mostly on TikTok, DO NOT SEARCH FOR IT ON SITES WITH THE ALGORITHM. This will drive engagement and help it spread. If you come across it block and report it but do not search it.

The term "gnome hunting" is being used by antisemitists/neonazis/white supremacists to refer to themselves, they themselves being the "hunters" and those they target, Jews, being the "gnomes" and is a way for them to talk in code.

Things to watch out for with this specific wave of antisemitic bullshit are but are not limited to:

"join the hunt" = join us.

"millions wear the hats" millions = the Jews, hats = the Jewish Yarmulke/Kippah (a Jewish head covering). This phrase refers to Jewish people in general. When they use this phrase they are talking about Jews.

"kike" a slur against those of Jewish descent and or those who are practicing Judaism.

"88" H is the 8th letter of the alphabet. 88 = hh = "hail hitler".

"⚡⚡" "ᛋᛋ" "ϟϟ" Two lightning bolt emojis, two Greek letter ᛋ's, or two lighting bolt symbols side by side = the nazi ss. The nazi ss flag is two lighting bolt symbols side by side.

"Z" or "z" The English letter Z/z is used by russian nazis against Ukrainians who are being murdered by and suffering war crimes at the hands of russian nazis since the current russian dictator putin invaded Ukraine. Has unfortunately spread and is being used by nazis in other countries. The symbol has similarities to the wolfsangel.

"Ƶ" The wolfsangel. An ancient runic symbol believed to have been capable of warding off wolves, appropriated by nazi organizations in nazi Germany. Still used by white supremacists/nazis today.

(Cannot find a symbol for this.) The sunwheel, sonnenrad, or black sun. A symbol from old Norse and old Celtic culture. Also appropriated by nazis, still used by neonazis today.

"schizopost" "schizoposting" Used by neonazis when they use neurodivergence/mental illness (they do not struggle with) as an excuse for their bullshit. Ex: saying "I'm insane" "I'm schizophrenic" "me and the boys being schizophrenic" in the same post about "gnome hunting" or with any relation to nazi/white supremacists ideology.

[professorcalculusstanaccount]

he’s the adult supervision, he’s the voice of reason, he’s a cringefail king, it’s Captain Haddock! Quite a few people asked for a timeline post for Haddock after I posted one of Tintin.

I found the whole idea of the Haddock family curse to be very interesting, and the implications behind it to be pretty dark... cw for alcoholism and childhood abuse. Let me know if you need anything tagged.

To figure out the timeline the evidence for Haddock’s age I found was in an animated adaptation of Explorers on the Moon where Haddock mentions he has around forty years of sailing experience. I doubt he was running around on ships as a newborn so that places his age during the canon comics at around 60ish, give or take a few years, which in my timeline places his childhood during the late Victorian era!

Left to right, top to bottom:

Child - Archibald Haddock had a pretty rough childhood and family life. The legacy of the “Haddock family curse” weighs heavily on him, and so does the alcoholism that runs generationally. His father is often drunk, taking his anger and frustration out on Archibald. Fully believing the family curse, Archibald’s father drills the idea that he is destined for failure into his head. 

Archibald’s only respite is his grandfather, who tells him stories of Sir Francis Haddock and other tall tales from the sea. His grandfather also would take him out on fishing trips, the lochs and the sea being his refuge. 

Teenager - It’s the 1880s and Archibald is left aimless after his grandfather passes away, passing the time by hiding from his father and drinking during the day. He fully believes he has no real future and lets himself get swept up by whatever will come along next.

Young Adult - Archibald decides to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps and becomes a sailor, feeling at home at sea. He cleans up somewhat after befriending George Chester as the two train on the same merchant vessel. Chester drags a reluctant Archibald along into all kinds of crazy antics, with Archibald wanting to stay on the straight and narrow.

Archibald is drafted during the First World War, serving in the Grand Fleet. He is stationed at the Orkney and Shetland Islands with Chester.

Canon - After the war Archibald relapses on his addiction again, but is able to hold onto work in the merchant fleet. He eventually becomes a captain of a merchant vessel where his mental health issues are taken advantage of in the Crab with the Golden Claws. 

Seeing his crew mutiny, kidnap (and attempt to murder) a boy on his ship was a major wake up call - Haddock is now imbued with a sense of responsibility for Tintin (even if Tintin seems to handle things better than Haddock!). He doesn’t understand what Tintin sees in him but he’ll be damned if he proves him wrong. He’s not above calling him an idiot when the time is right though.

Post Canon - After Tintin loses his job Haddock does his best to support him.  He uses his wealth to further causes he believes in, donating money to artist collectives and scientific research that was repressed by fascist governments. Before Belgium even joins the Second World War he and the Marlinspike team proactively go out and foil various Nazi plots. Marlinspike Hall is firebombed by the Nazis in retaliation, but after the war Haddock funds various housing cooperative projects. Coming from a working class background he hasn’t forgotten the hardships a lot of people face.

Elderly - At this point Haddock is secure in his found family. He’s been living with his partner Ramo Nash, and has taken up various arts and crafts as hobbies. Looking back, he never expected to be a father, but is incredibly proud of Tintin. He never officially adopts him as a part of him still fears the family curse (plus they both agree “Haddock” as a name definitely does not suit Tintin)!

Instead of saying that staff has a potterhead, we should remember the person that pointed that out by showing screenshots of the staff member's blog had their own blog deleted just hours after that post started making rounds and staff told them they couldn't complain or ever recover it.

No one is born eight years old. Leonard Chamberlain's life is Leo Rosenbaum's life continued. His family is your family. But you live as if without history, as if you throw no shadow behind you.

The funny thing is you're more Jewish than we are. My grandma Wilma married out, so Rosa and my mother Sally had only two Jewish grandparents. The Nazis called them Mischlinge. Half-breeds. Half-Jews. More than enough under the Nuremberg Laws. I'm three-quarters Jewish. But you're the whole catastrophe.

This is her legacy, this is why I can't fucking stand the idea of innocently playing the games or going to the parks that fund the castle from which she spits on trans people. I legitimately can't trust you if her virulent bigotry hasn't completely soured everything with her stupid name attached to it.

Lycarn belongs to @hel-phoenyx and Jonas Schwatzkopf to @corneille-but-not-the-author

CW: TNO (so Nazism), mention of drug use and alcoholism

"Lyc, I brought a duvet, a flask of coffee, and a tin full of biscuits. Are you okay?" "Oh I love you", she said as she came to meet her. "Frankly, how do you cope with that bullshit?" "How do you think I do?"

I swallowed my miniature bottle whole, before throwing it on the floor and letting it shatter. Daphne hardly came down here, or Ella even. There were only me, when I indulged in my drinking habit or when I felt like it was morphine injection time, and Lycarn, when she needed a shelter. As such, glass shards, from bottles and syringes, were constantly littering the basement entrance. Lycarn sat on the old sofa, and I joined her before I handed her the flask.

"How come miss van Wassernaer stand to meet up with that scum?" Lycarn wondered after taking a sip. "I mean, she helps me and she raised you. I don't understand." "Daphne is Daphne, I don't neither", I simply said. "Hand me the case. Need to clear my mind." "Pharaildis..." "Calm down, I won't shoot myself in front of you. I'll just set up my syringe. To relax. You know?" I sighed. "I... Guess who is billing and cooing upstairs?" "Don't tell me..." "Himself. Herr Schwatzkopf. Trying to bang my old woman or something. I hate that." "Just picture this man kissing miss van Wassernaer." "Ewww", I answered before opening the case and cleaning the needle. "Don't say digusting things like that."

Lycarn started stuffing her mouth with biscuits and chocolat chip cookies, smiling with a stupid smug satisfaction on her face. Oh, you're happy now? I continued polishing the needle. Silence filled up the room.

Now tension seized us. My syringe is soon saturated with morphine. I threw the vial on my huge stash of broken glass, and took a band of rubber to make my usual tourniquet. I sighed again.

"The J is unbearable. I feel like... he knows", I let out under my breath. "How would he? No-one snitched." "In his eyes when he looks at me. He knows. I'm sure."

O’Shae Sibley's killer may have lied about his religion during the attacks as a way to incite division.

August 8th

A witness said a group of men that included the teenager charged in the killing used homophobic slurs and told Mr. Sibley that they were Muslim, and he should stop dancing. Some initial media reports picked up that account. Mayor Eric Adams and the police held a news conference at which the mayor stressed that the killing was not evidence of Muslim hatred of gay people. Now, it appears the man charged with Mr. Sibley’s murder is not Muslim at all. The suspect, Dmitry Popov, 17, is Christian, his lawyer said, altering at least one aspect of a killing that has drawn national attention.

Mr. Popov, 17, a high school student from Brooklyn, turned himself in last Friday and was charged with second-degree murder, second-degree murder as a hate crime and criminal possession of a weapon. He was denied bail in State Supreme Court in Brooklyn on Monday and is being held in detention. Court documents said that a witness heard the group with Mr. Popov say, “Stop dancing here, we are Muslim.” But at the court hearing and in an interview on Tuesday, Mr. Popov’s lawyer, Mark Henry Pollard, pushed back against some of the initial narrative: Mr. Popov is not Muslim, Mr. Pollard said. “He’s Christian,” he said in a phone interview. “Somehow they got it confused, he’s not a Muslim. I could understand if there were other friends that were, but he was the only person arrested.”

Also confirmed by his grandma and mother prior, but since this is a lawyer during a court hearing I think is much more safe to think.

It's very scary how manipulative this creature was, not only killing a person because he was just dancing and enjoying life more than this parasite probably had going to church and slaving away at two jobs during his useless life time(based on claim by the mother and grandma) but trying to use his death as a political wedge to attack other minorities to paint them all as just as extremist for brianwashed as him for another week of digital religious crusades.

I hope this gets stuck into people's heads that fascist terrorists do in fact lie about their identities and exploit it explicitly to innocentize and sanitize the far right and to muddy it's regressive genocidalist history so today's lobotomized right wingers can come on the internet and act like they have nothing to be held accountable for while demanding mea culpa from any leftist individual their encounter.

Fascists did it during WW2 and they will keep doing it as long as the media and public allow themselves to be manipulated by it.

Georg Frankl appreciation post

Frankl and his fiance Anni Weiss worked on research in the childrens ward in the Vienna university clinic in the 1920s. They were both Jewish and were pushed out in the years before the Nazi takeover of Austria, leaving their positions open to Hans Asperger, who would go on to publish popular research on what he described as Autism, a term coined in the 1800s in reference to schizophrenia.

Frankl would go on to Baltimore, where his work was recognized by Leo Kanner, another Jew who had left Austria earlier in life. Kanner admired Frankl and his work, the terminology that Frankl coined being essential to Kanners own research, and planed to get it published before his own paper to make the influence clear. Unfortunately this didn’t happen, and Frankl remains unknown and unacknowledged in most conversations about Autism. Until recently, the fact that asperger and Kanner used the same term for the same condition within a year of each other had been considered a coincidence.

Frankl’s approach to treatment and care for people with Autism remains applicable and progressive today, maintaining that it was not an abnormality but a different mode of being, and that efforts could and should be made to communicate with individuals.

Sorry if that was stiff I went into essay mode, also some of that might be slightly off but eh, I just wanted to talk about him, here’s an article jt should be full access for anyone, though warning it is very jargony

I'm embracing the awful, terrible, overly "morally pure" stance that blatant Nazism isn't great and you shouldn't financially support people who openly and publicly embrace Hitler! That's my purity culture stance :)

CW: Nazism, TribeTwelve.

I do not support or glorify Nazis and I do not condone the atrocious things they've done. I am telling the truth and I have no reason to fabricate this, I swear on my granny's grave. If you've been following me on Instagram, you know this. Also I do not support Adam Rosner.

To everyone I have hurt and made angry because of my latest posts, (which I deleted) I'm sorry. It was insensitive of me and I should have realized that sooner and thought twice before posting such stuff. I hope that this post will help calm things down, if not completely resolve them. I am not asking for any forgiveness, I just want you to understand and realize that those posts do not reflect who I am as a person, and I want to explain everything and clarify that those posts were not supposed to glorify, romanticize or sexualize Nazism, they were only meant to show the (atleast original) lore of one particular character in this fandom.

HABIT's character and the Slenderverse/WW2 lore connection:

The Slenderverse lore is heavily connected to WW2, at least in EMH, T12 and DH00. I admit I knew the EMH creators debunked/retconned the HABIT/Nazi lore before, but I totally forgot about it since I hadn't been active in this fandom for a while and I can't remember everything. But either way, it was still part of the lore anyway and many people still consider it canon. Hear me out. The whole point of HABIT's character is that he's not just some silly, sexy, evil murder wolf demon (or whatever the fuck he is), he's an irredeemable monster, a literal embodiment of mankind’s evil actions, which (atleast originally) included Nazism aswell. If you've seen Steph's Canyouseetheworld blog, you know exactly what I'm talking about and the horrendous, inhumane things he's capable of doing and saying.

The Brandit post: (or whatever the ship is called)

You can skip this part, if you’ve watched TribeTwelve.

(((I admit I do ship HABIT x Firebrand/Noah, but I am also aware that all HABIT ships are toxic, abusive, and ridiculous, let's be honest.. However, I think this ship is one of the least toxic, not only because HABIT helped Firebrand escape from The Collective, but also because Noah is one of the few, if not the only person, HABIT didn't want to kill, which is unusual for him. And also the patience and huge amount of nerves HABIT has towards Noah is intriguing. We know what Noah’s like, how stubborn and stupid he is and sometimes you want to punch him in the face, which miraculously HABIT haven't done. And we never got to know the reason or motivation behind HABIT's actions of helping Noah/Firebrand but I guess we will never know.. Either way, I do not ship them romantically, that would be ridiculous.)))

Anyway, let's talk about the post where HABIT said to Firebrand, and I quote: ''LET'S FUCK AND PISS OFF OUR ANCESTORS.'' With Firebrand's response: ''HABIT, what the actual fuck, ya absolute disgrace.''

I admit, this was really horrid and I understand why people were so angry over this. Drawing the little symbols next to them was fucked up and insensitive and made it look like I was sexualizing a Jew with a Nazi, also with a mention of the past (WW2), which was very disrespectful towards the Holocaust and the actors as well. But. That was not my intention or the point of it. It was not meant to be sexualized. The point was to show HABIT’s natural fucked up behavior and sick humor. That's it. And the post was not meant to be taken seriously anyway. No? HABIT wouldn't fuck Firebrand, whether he's Jewish or not. It was meant to be a joke, a very bad one, but I'm aware of it now. Perhaps my humor is just broken sometimes. I hope it's all clear now. I should have realized this sooner, added a CW and explanation, or rather not posted it at all. Again, I am sorry for all of this and I hope we can all move on. I will be more mindful and responsible in the future.

[ CW mention of a sect, murders, torture and nazism context : talking about the valorisation of Death Eaters (especially Evan and Barty) in the Marauders fandom ]

⟡ ⟡ ⟡

I love marauders fandom, ok ? I really do. It's amazing how much people were able to create, construct with four lines and a name. It's a fan work, it's an alternative universe, it's another universe. It's everything we ever wanted. I love marauders fandom, but there's a thing I can't stand : valorisation, glamourisation, normalisation of convicted murderers.

Don't get me wrong, I like Rosekiller (yes, it's about them here). They're such complex characters, with an interesting relationship. Their love is based on destruction, they only existed by burning the other as well as themselves. They are characters aimed to die, attracted by it and builded this end together. They are complex, they have depth. And that what makes them likeable.

But they are not good persons. Make them how you want in early school era, I don't care. It wasn't written in canon, it's our decision. But don't normalise what they did, what they were. They joined a faschist and extremist sect, and honestly the why they did that doesn't matter anymore : they actively participated. Because they liked it, because it's what they wanted. Because it was them. "But his dad forced him" doesn't excuse the following actions. They don't have any redemption arc, like Regulus (even if his was questionnable). They torturded, they killed until their last breath, and liked it. Make them in love, make them obsessed about insects and bones, make them anxious, make them jealous, make them funny, make them human with a lot of personnality traits but you can't make them 'babygirl'. You can't excuse their behavior. You can't do like they are heroes, like they are good, like they're not literal war criminals. Like they're understandable. Like they deserve to be free and to live their life without consequences. Like what they did is 'hot' or 'normal'.

Glamourisation of murderers, of faschists, of terrorists is NEVER okay. No matter how much the character is well writen, with a complex backstory. They are good characters, i agree, but they are not good persons. Maybe they weren't like this at first, that's up to you and your headcanons. But they became. They became dangerous, tracking their former friends, tracking mudbloods like fucking animals. They fought against freedom, against a whole part of the wizard population. They're not better than nazis. And you can't valorise nazism.

I don't tell you to not like them. You can love a character AND condemn them at the same time. I'm just so angry at people acting like they are fucking children who never did one thing wrong in their life, who amputate one primordial side of their development by trivialising it. Or, in the opposite, having so much fun writing about them commiting murders and talking about it in front of the others and that nobody bats an eye. Because it's normal that they bury corpses in the Forbidden Forest I guess. Because it's something that is not worth mentioning and "it's okay, that's a part of their personality and sexyness". Say it, say how bad of people they were, say how much what they did is horrible. Say they were not heroes. Say they were feared and hated by most of students. Say they were not 'iconic'. Not trying to convince you to change them, they are what they are and contribute to the story like this, only to change HOW you write, read, perceive them. They're vilains, and still can be liked without being set up as life models. Because no matter the backstory of the character, no matter if they're sexy and hot, no matter if they're gay freaks in love who could die for eachother, no matter how much you have affection for them, you can't qualify yourself of a good person while glamorising serial killers, actual or fictional, and normalising their actions by nobody reacting to it like they should to.

Liking a character is liking the writing, the backstory, the link with the others, the narratives arcs. It's thinking they are interesting, well integrated in the universe, with a significant (or not) role in it. It's not finding their crimes 'hot' and trivialising it. You can think they are fucking bastards who deserve life sentence, you can wish them dead and recognise the unspeakable horrors of their crimes while viewing them as your favorite character. You can being conscious of who they are and being disgusted by it but still liking them. You can hating them as persons while loving them as fiction. No need to make them a sexual icon or forgive everything they did : acknowledge all of their aspects in their globality, the importance of all their narrative arcs is what really does them justice.

Please, do the distinction between the character's development and the character's morality.

I had a brother, Peggy had said, faltering, hesitant. A brother named – named Michael.

(cw for nazism, non-graphic dramatization of real-life war crimes, mention of civilian deaths, mention of torture, violence)

: :

Distomo is a mess and a half.

Dixon was boated in a few weeks ago. He’s been on his own since he left Italy, with just the occasional encoded missives from the SOE and the Americans coordinating their efforts on nearby islands and waterways.

Schmedes, the German bastard in charge here, is a nasty sort of fellow, prone to underthinking and overreacting. He isn’t too keen on wolves, either, which was too bad. Dixon himself has a soft spot for wolves, although he hasn’t worked with any furry cousins since Carter got himself taken in France.

Hell, but that’s been years, now. He rather misses the poor fellow.

He’s holed up in a small, ricketed shack just outside Distomo proper, overlooking the village. It’s a place that could generously be called quaint; Dixon thinks of it more as a rat’s hole, well aware that there is a hungry cat waiting outside.

Or inside, as it were. The Nazis hadn’t been shy when they took over.

Dixon’s been waiting for his contact to drop a letter off, containing instructions for the continued information campaign that the Allies are pulling off in Greece. It is supposed to be done at noon on 10 June 1944.

That was two hours ago. Five minutes ago, the 2nd company of the 4th Waffen-SS Polizei Panzergrendier Division started going door to door, dragging villagers out into the town square. The massacre that Dixon has feared for since he got to this piece of shite country had begun.

The SS has trucks, and firepower, and young German boys eager to prove themselves. The people of Distomo have their hands and their teeth and every ounce of fury and fear they possess. Dixon watches through a pair of binoculars as a young farmer mother is hauled away from her children, screaming. The children are hauled up next.

Dixon hesitates, for the barest moment. He’s been specifically ordered not to engage with the local population. But – but –

He grabs his emergency bag, a rifle, and ammo, and hops on his motorbike.

When he gets to Distomo, the village is gore and smoke. The SS are dragging what looks like every civilian into the center of the village, killing or maiming the ones that struggle. As Dixon’s pulling up into an alley, two young Nazis who are dragging a teenage girl along see him. He cuts the engine on his motorbike, raises the rifle and swiftly guns them down. The girl screams.

He doesn’t speak a lick of Greek, but, through a bit of pantomime, manages to convince the girl and the young boy with her – a brother, perhaps – to take the motorbike and flee. Dixon shoulders his rifle and continues into the village.

They’ve corralled the villagers into a one-block square. A few dozen SS line the streets, faces stony, guns cocked. A large, covered truck slowly backs down the street to the captured crowd. There’s a bang. The back of the truck warps, dents, and shudders.

They’ve got something in the truck. It sounds big. It sounds angry.

Dixon has a bad feeling about this.

An SS officer walks over to the back of the truck and unlatches it. Dixon raises the rifle, peering through the sight, but before he can take the shot, the wolf bursts out.

It’s a big, well-proportioned fellow, over three meters tall, shaggy and dark grey. His eyes are yellow and slit-pupiled, his claws about six inches long. He’s collared; he comes to the end of his leash and skitters to a stop with a rattle and a clash, growling.

He’s familiar, the glossy texture of his fur, the shape of his muzzle, the burn scars on his back left leg from the time he accidentally set himself on fire making beans and toast as a child. Dixon has seen this wolf before. Dixon would know that wolf anywhere.

Once, Dixon had stumbled downstairs to the kitchen of their safehouse to find Carter just back from a run. He had been delicately licking his paws clean of mud, and had frozen, pink tongue halfway out, staring at Dixon.

He laughed. He couldn’t help it. Carter had grinned right back, a lolling, dog-like thing, had whuffed at Dixon and shifted back right there and then, without a stitch on him. Most of Dixon’s best memories do not involve naked fellows, but that particular moment was the exception.

Michael Carter was a monster, of course, but he was a thoughtful monster. A kind monster. A clever, witty, loyal monster. One of the good ones.

The wolf roars at the captive villagers with no intelligence in his eyes, snaps at his leash with nothing but the frantic pain of a beaten mutt. Dixon has heard of wolves being Broken, has heard rumors that the Nazis were trying to –

But it’s a different thing to see it. He doesn’t have silver bullets on him, but he has to do something, before they release the wolf on the sobbing, cowering civilians crowded into the town square. Dixon raises his rifle, lines up the shot, and fires.

In the end, he can’t even say whether it does any good.
