Gender is just a box. A torsion cannon, on the other hand...
That is a cannon.
joining the Adeptus Mechanicus comes with a low but never zero chance of losing one's gender [and replacing it with a torsion cannon]
By the blood of Sanguinius.
I'm fairly sure this is actually a pretty common thing for Eldar in general (dark or otherwise). For certain gendered roles (such as Wyches or Aspect Warriors), an Eldar taking up one of those roles will transition to the gender of that role (so all Dire Avengers are male, all Banshees are female, etc).
TIL that there's a canon trans Drukhari Wych Succubus. Like actually stated that she used to be male, but after reaching this rank she transitioned into being a female Drukhari and seems to be totally cool with it.

Whispered: volume
Said softly: tone
I know adverbs are controversial, but "said softly" means something different than "whispered" and this is the hill I will die on.
They're different days, just celebrate both!
Happy Holidays! Don't forget to grab a knife :)
He did lots of wrong things and that's what I love about him.
y'know what.
fulgrim did nothing wrong.
Well, I'm fairly sure the British coined "eat like we have free healthcare", but the USA and USB one is absolutely amazing.
The Emerald Wings have three distinctive patterns of jump packs, all of which are unique to the chapter, and have become all but synonymous with their methods of war.
The Hayabusa-pattern is the primary pattern of jump pack used by the chapter. It is similar in capabilities to the common Mars-pattern jump pack, with slightly different internal components--parts are not interchangeable between the two.
The Shokaku-pattern, also known as the Shokaku-pattern heavy lift jump pack is a larger jump pack with significantly more thrust than the Hayabusa-pattern, at the cost of pretty much everything else. The Shokaku-pattern jump packs have less endurance, are less maneuverable, are more difficult to produce, and are more difficult to maintain. It does have compatible parts with the Hayabusa-pattern, however. The Shokaku-pattern jump packs are used by many of the chapter's devastator squads.
The Ryujo-pattern jump packs are highly advanced, and are incredibly expensive and difficult to produce. It is used only by the chapter command and the sanguinary guard. The Ryujo-pattern is faster and more maneuverable than the Hayabusa- and Mars-patterns, with the chapter's elites being trained to wield these jump packs like an extension of their own bodies.
Starting a lore dump on my homebrew chapter (Yes, the blog is named after them)
Founded in the Eighth Founding, the Emerald Wings were one of a few chapters created at the time to carry on the legacy of Sanguinius.
Since their founding, they have earned a reputation for a mastery of aerial warfare, making heavy use of aircraft, skimmers, and jump packs. Aircraft and jump packs in particular are central to the Emerald Wings' doctrines, to the point where they are the biggest points of divergence between the chapter and the Codex Astartes.

"Dear diary, a creepy giant stared at me today. I didn't like it as much as I thought I would".
had a thought at how the npcs on the ship in space marine 2 are just going about their day yapping to the superior or inferior officers and then Titus just walks up beside them, and he just... stops. listens to your entire conversation, and then just continues like ??? how would one even react to that?
would you put a discarded fruit sticker on my forehead in whimsical jest yes or no
