Hey Jumblr, what’s your favorite Jewish story?
could be real or fiction, could be about Jews or just by a Jewish author/creator, could be from the Bible, from the Talmud, from folklore, from wherever, just reblog with your favorite Jewish story whatever it is
I’ll go first: I really love the X-Men, especially the arc of Magneto & Xavier’s relationship, and the story of the golem (I couldn’t pick just one lol)

pls tell more about casimir pls im beg
hi oh my god.. . . i will i will do that.
okay warnings are up now, wolfenstein is already a heavy game but cw for abuse, drug mentions, heavy stuff like that.
casimir majstrować
i’m going to be writing out his timeline. however. i’ll do my best to briefly explain it here.
he is one of the key members of the kreisau circle. he is very antisocial, doesn’t like people, especially fergus/wyatt (depending on which timeline he’s in). he’s the mechanic of the group, as he has his own pet panzerhund called dynia. she’s smaller than average, and she is super friendly, he spends most of his time with her and upgrading her. he has a VERY traumatic past, causing half of his face to be heavily burnt and a tooth pulled, which i might detail later. cas is a very stone cold person who hides his emotions, the only “acceptable” emotion to him being anger. he doesn’t often show happiness, or friendliness. he does work well in a team and when he needs to, and he does work extra well with wyatt/fergus. he suffers from chronic pain, which usually causes him to be reliant on an old form of medication they scavenge and steal. he often goes through withdrawal, and is usually left alone by the members of the kreisau circle. no one really likes him, apart from set, who views him almost as a son.
he is also an amazing marksman, and has several hideouts around berlin before the circle is stormed by frau engel.
essentially cas takes anya’s place. the basic idea i have for this is that when you escape the prison with wyatt/fergus, cas helps them out of the sewer instead. william doesn’t know where anya is, but they don’t have time to look so they leave. when they arrive back to the berlin hideout, william is insistant they search for anya, to which cas offers to help. unfortunately, the guards that she distracted had caught wind of what she was trying to do, and in an effort to run and hide, she ends up dying in the hotel they stayed at. (i’m sorry anya it was genuinely the only way i could think to take her out of the story before she formed a longer relationship with william)
most of casimir’s traumatic past revolves around his father being abusive. he grew up in a jewish polish family, with two sisters, a mother and father. growing up queer, his father tried to punish him for it and beat it out of him. one day he pushed him into a lake, “teaching him how to swim” which resulted in cas almost drowning, and now developing an extreme fear of water. obviouslt with these things, his relationship with william is rocky at first, but eventually they start to become each others support system. cas is open and honest with william, spends time with him, helps him with his weapons and upgrades, teaches him polish so he can speak it better. they grow close towards the end of the first game, they share their first kiss before william goes to the moon. william brings back a small piece of moon rock for him.
fergus/wyatt’s relationship with cas is funny to me. cas utterly hates wyatt, thinks he’s annoying, but he also won’t admit that he wants to be friends with him, and does actually speak to wyatt about serious stuff. with fergus, it’s a little more aggressive. they bully each other, but when it comes to working in a team they’re really good together. william honestly stands there and just goes 🧍♂️ while they’re having a yelling match.
honestly i could go on forever abt him bc i’ve got both his new order and new colossus story in my mind. still working through the new colossus story completely, and right now i’m replaying the first game to play fergus’ timeline.

I just realized.
A character so hated and feared among an authoritarian genocidal empire that they’ve been given a nickname by said group to reflect their status?
By god, they’re blood brothers

Read Superman Smashes the Klan. It was AMAZING. Everything was great, and Roberta / Lan-Shin Lee was my favorite part. She's such a wonderful character and the way her story and experience parallels Superman's (speaking of, this has got to be one of his best portrayals ever) is just brilliant.
And well... it's Superman vs. the KKK. Whether it's Mafia III, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus or Red Dead Redemption II, if a work involves taking the Bigots in Bedsheets down a peg or two, I am so there. Because fuck those bastards. And Superman Smashes the Klan does not disappoint.

Describing video games as walking sims until someone makes me stop, day 108:
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a walking sim that imagines the totally fictional possibility that the United States is full of Nazis.
