#TW: mentions of nazis

Setheroth Constantinescu Noctus

[OC introduction + other artwork versions below the cut!]

[TW: mentions of nazis and WWII related material, nothing graphic. Goes without saying but I don't support fascism, however it comes with the time period my book grapples with.]

Setheroth is a undead agent codenamed "Hyde" who served in a splinter branch of the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) headed by Alfred Hackett from 1941 to 1945 during the Second World War. He served alongside his former Lord and comrade Valerius codenamed "Jekyll" spying on nazis together from within SS high command after infiltrating it early on int he war. He spent the duration of the war torn between playing the role of a mad Axis commander and a loyal British spy/saboteur serving the Allies. He “fought” in many battles during the war mostly on the eastern front alongside Valerius and "their commanders". During the war Setheroth coordinates several assassinations of high ranking nazi officers and officials, sabotages nazi supply lines, supplies resistance groups in France and Poland, frees Allied prisoners of war and victims of Axis cruelty alike, and engages in other espionage operations. He is noted for rewriting Axis battle plans to better suit Allied strategy and rescuing captured British commanders. He has many friends who serve with the Allies (mostly British army) and a few notable ones from the Axis who were defectors.

After the war he gains citizenship in Britain and lives together with Valerius staying in the army for a few more years serving as a Captain in the Intelligence Corps. He retires along with Valerius when word reaches them regarding the arrest of Alan Turing. Fearing for himself as a not-so-closeted homosexual and Valerius as a closeted bisexual. Alongside their friends (many of whom are also queer) they struggle to adapt back into civilian life, Setheroth battling mental illness and discrimination. Though regarded as a hero by those who know him, and his close friends, he struggles with his role in the war and reconciling what he did during his time as a spy.

Additional Info:

This is my main character and OC from "The Violinist" a historical-fiction novel series I have been plotting /working on for 6+ years! Can't wait to share more about Setheroth and my other OCs in the future! His character is very dear to me.

Setheroth was born November 23rd, 1432

His nickname is "Seth" outside military business

His ethnicity is German Saxon and Romanian

His proper name is Setheröt Constantinescu Noctus but answers to both. His name gradually changed over the centuries to be more removed from its Germanic origins.

Setheroth is a dead being in my book called a Hybrid. He has genetics of both a Vampire [Vampyre] and a Daemon [a dead being that uses magic considered inherently 'dark' but not with malicious intent.] This change occurs after a incident in the battle of Stalingrad.

The scar around Setheroth's neck is from where the nazis formerly commanded by him, attempted to hang him figuring out he was an Allied spy all along. He has several other scars including ones from his mortal death.

Setheroth has 3 piercings. A tongue piercing he did himself, a brass stud made of a bullet casing from Stalingrad. Then much later after the war snake bites with the studs made from the same bullet casing.

Setheroth has several medals, they are in order: The George Cross, Military Medal, 1939-1945 Star, France and Germany Star, War Medal 1939-1945. Setheroth is wearing the 1940 pattern No. 5 Battle Dress.

Real talk but if you can go in long and explicit detail about Nazi beliefs and rhetoric without talking about antisemitism even once, I'm assuming that it is 100% deliberate.

Antisemitism is fundamental to Nazism. That is a fact. It's not a thing of the past, Nazis have not changed their targets, and if you ignore that then I think it's completely reasonable to assume that it's because you actually agree with that antisemitism.

For instance, you've met someone a few times before and you're going to their house for the first time. They haven't expressed anything radical to you before, and their behavior hasn't indicated anything out of the ordinary. When you arrive at their house, you see very obvious historical nazi-related objects. Is this weird?

Prime Animations now realizing after years of being told that his Optimus Prime VA is a piece of shit, that his VA is a piece of shit.

Feel what you want to feel about Galvatron’s Revenge. I am tired. I’m posting this because people called me a liar years back and that there was no proof that Orbital Bacon (the VA) was terrible.

I was never jealous or bothered by another fan project.

The Optimus VA was spouting homophobic, transphobic, sexist, and racist shit. From general to personal when he called me and UltraPrimal groomers and you know what p word. The Optimus VA of Galvatron’s Revenge tried to harass my Discord server and made a podcast with lies about me. I tried to tell Prime Animations. What did he do? Deleted my comments and defended OB.

The Optimus VA of Galvatron’s Revenge is an actual Nazi who was caught on his podcast with a Nazi flag and calling biracial people disgusting. Prime Animations finally confirmed.

Do 👏you👏 believe 👏me👏now? 👏

I don't want to see any images of Sieg Heils-- or any other revolting images like that.

This is what I think we should be seeing on our dashes instead. This is what I want to see when I open this app. This is the image I think tumblr should be flooded with right now.

Especially as we have new folks coming from other platforms.

What about you? Do you want to see Sieg Heils or do you want to see someone angrily ripping a swastika flag in half?

Ok, so let me explain why rebloging posts like these do little to nothing to assure Jews that they’ll be safe around you.

Goyim reblogging this stuff don’t typically listen to Jews (which is apparent because we’ve said stuff like this doesn’t actually do anything to help us many times) about their experiences with antisemitism or listen when Jews try to educate them on things like antisemitic dog whistles or blood libel. Most of them are way more enthusiastic about punching Nazis than they are about showing any compassion to Jews. I’d venture to guess the majority of Jewish people know that often the goyim who reblog this stuff are just out for blood and don’t give a damn about us, because we’ve seen this many times. Not to mention that the desire for a violent revolution that some leftists seem to have has led to Jewish people facing a lot of antisemitism (at their hands). I would bet that some of the people reblogging this act similar to Nazis themselves. I know at the very least the goyim rebloging this don’t listen to Jews because we’ve said many times that this sort of thing doesn’t really do anything to help us, and we’d much rather goyim call out and learn about antisemitism. Overall, it’s just very performative activism, and it’s pretty obvious that the goyim reblogging this are just doing it to try and make themselves look better, and not for the sake of Jews.

Hans Scholl (deceased)

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Bisexual

DOB: 22 September 1918 

RIP: 22 February 1943

Ethnicity: White - German

Occupation: Soldier, medic, activist, student

Note 1: One of the two founding members of the White Rose resistance movement in Nazi Germany. The White Rose's legacy has been considered significant by many historical commentators, both as a demonstration of exemplary spiritual courage, and as a well-documented case of social dissent in a time of violent repression, censorship, and pressure to conform.

Note 2: In 2003, Germans were invited to participate in Unsere Besten (Our Best), a nationwide competition to choose the top ten most important Germans of all time. Voters under the age of 40 helped Scholl and his sisters to finish in fourth place. If the votes of young viewers alone had been counted, Sophie and Hans Scholl would have been ranked first.

What’s the big deal with a Jewish man being cast as Superman? I’ll tell you!

The character was created by two Jewish men, which isn’t an uncommon origin for most classic characters. Comic books were seen as a lesser art form compared to other jobs in the arts, so the majority of creators at the time were Jewish. The creators of Superman wanted to go in to advertising initially, but struggled to find jobs in the industry (a post I’ve made about this here).

It’s incredibly important context that Superman was created by two Jewish men during World War II. There were many Americans who were ambivalent at best and actively supportive at worst of the Nazi party. Antisemitism was massively present in America at the time.

Superman is a positive Jewish symbol. Kal-El is a name derived from Hebrew. His story is easily read as a Moses allegory. Jewish folklore is written all over his origins— the strength of Samson and the protection of the Golem (specifically as portrayed in the Jewish made film The Golem according to one of his creators). If you think of his creators his story becomes that much richer. He feels the need to change his name to fit in, which was incredibly common for Jewish authors in the comic industry. He struggles with being partially assimilated, between two identities that can feel conflicting. His story is a reflection of the Jewish experience.

Comic books are Jewish-American art. They are fundamentally a reflection of our culture and history. Movie adaptations have a habit of never casting Jewish actors or erasing Jewish characters completely. Having a Jewish actor get to step in to the role of one of the most recognizable and iconic Jewish creations is incredibly precious to many (including me).

begging everyone who is NOT a part of a group historically targeted by the nazis and/or the japanese imperial army to just listen for a moment. while the INTENTION may have been to portray kaiser in a WWI uniform, his clothing does still resemble what actual nazis wore. furthermore, you can't have a conversation about german history by ignoring the connections between WWI and WWII. the IMPACT is the repeated romanticization of the image of the axis powers in animanga, fuelling further ignorance in general japanese society.

korean fans are pissed, and rightfully so, because how many more times are non-japanese east and southeast asians supposed to forgive japanese ignorance when we've repeatedly criticized the romanticization of modern and contemporary japanese militarization in so many animanga franchises?? it's happened with hetalia, attack on titan, bungou stray dogs, and so many other franchises. it's not fun seeing the people who have raped, murdered, and tortured your relatives and their allies be portrayed in a cool and bad-ass way in anime.

there may be some mistakes here but i literally just woke up, and i woke up to this. dumb comments from non-affected groups will be blocked.

I think it’s accurate to describe Freddy as the Roomba Billy taped a knife to and sent out to cut Nazi ankles

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.

ive been out of the DIY loop for ages and google isnt helping, sorry for the ask. whats the deal with studs and spikes? they fash or something? that would suck ass.

No worries, ask box is open for a reason lol (my turn around time on answering is just extremely unpredictable and can be anywhere from a few hours to a few months)

Studs and spikes started selling iron crosses under their ‘badges and pins’ section. Iron crosses were a German military award under the Nazi regime. (Though they have roots in the Prussian military and a modified version is the symbol of the modern German military, though they are no longer an award). 

Iron crosses were at some point adopted by bikers in the US for ‘shock value’ but in punk spaces, they are still heavily associated with white supremacy.

something that I don't think non-jews realize is just how fucking terrified all Jews have been ever since the world stopped pretending it cared about us.

We always felt othered, we always were persecuted, we've always been cautious, we've always been afraid, we've always known that at the end of the day the only people we can truly trust is each other. We just were hopeful that maybe this time we didn't have to be so afraid of other people.

But after October 7th, the world stopped pretending to care about Jews, they stopped acting like they don't see us as vermin, they've stopped treating us as human.

The Holocaust deniers are out in full force, there are Nazis everywhere, the conspiracy theories are gaining traction, the rates of antisemitic attacks have skyrocketed, lists of Jews are being published, dog whistles are cropping up everywhere, students don't feel safe in their classes, people don't feel safe at work, Jews don't feel safe anywhere. Because we're not.

Jews have a uniquely horrible history of being persecuted and murdered. We all carry so much generational trauma. We are taught the warning signs from birth, and what we're seeing now is terrifying.

Ask any Jew, they will tell you how much this reminds them of pre-Holocaust Germany. They will tell you how this reminds them of pre-Inquisition Spain. They will tell you how this reminds them of the Russians, the Romans, the Greeks. They will tell you how this reminds them of the buildup to every major pogrom, every wide-scale genocide attempt, of every time that we were almost destroyed.

We've been here dozens of times before, and we know where this is going.

Your Jewish friends are not okay, your Jewish neighbors are not okay, your Jewish coworkers are not okay.

Would you be okay if you knew for a fact that very soon something absolutely horrible is going to happen to you and the ones you love? Would you be okay if you knew for a fact that your life is in danger? Would you be okay if everywhere you went you see people calling for your death?

Would you be okay if you knew that nobody cared?

Surgery day. Had a rough night last night, but I know I slept some because I had a dream of the Madrigals fighting off Nazis.
