He Did Lots Of Wrong Things And That's What I Love About Him.

Captain Sheridan, Dan Randall, ISN News. Thank goodness, someone reasonable to talk to.

By the blood of Sanguinius.

Just kidding, the Imperium is run by puritanical morons. They'd never do that.

Considering that one of the fundamental principles of BDSM is that it be safe, sane, and consensual, proper BDSM is, in fact, anathema to Slaanesh, and would therefore be encouraged by the Imperium of Man. In this essay I will

As much as I love Sanguinius, I think Leman is at the top because of how he grows over the Heresy. He's not just a primarch, a demigod of war and a symbol of the Imperium. He's a man. A human person. He makes mistakes, he has regrets, he's not perfect. He's just Leman.

Experiment part 1:

Which primarch is the best*? Loyalist version

Let me know how you define 'best' in this case. For Imperial science

And?

The point is never "It would be a better story if this happened". Nobody is saying "The Horus Heresy would be a better story if Fulgrim didn't fall to Chaos".

‘if only fulgrim didn’t pick up the sword he could have’ could have what. could have what. stayed under the oversight of a distant father figure? kept pressuring himself and his sons to be perfect and flawless all the time? been disposed of when he’d served his purpose? i hate you

I love the "the navy would love to have you" "not gay enough yet".

theyre unlocking new types of guy over on reddit apparently

I can imagine Fulgrim looking a little uncanny (to quote a forum thread not even slightly related, he should be "straddling the line between alluring and disturbing"). But he shouldn't look ugly. He should be beautiful, but with this creeping feeling underneath, that something isn't quite right.

Did you see Snek Fulgrim back? This is a masterpiece! This is why Lucius, Saul, favius etc. has beautiful arses 😄

Yeah, I've seen this and to be honest, I don't really know how to feel about it.

The sculptor, who did this model, said in an interview, he made Fulgrim's face ugly on purpose (because Chaos, yadda, yadda), despite him being described as beautiful in the novels (yes, even the demonic version. Terrifyingly beautiful - and the new miniature's mug is anything but beautiful).

So this overdimensional gluteus maximus (that isn't needed for a snake) smacks of ridiculing Fulgrim and pigeonholing him into something, because it doesn't come from a place of love by its creator.

Yeah, I know, I may be overinterpreting things here, but that's just how I feel.

If you love the model - absolutely all the power to you!

But I won't buy it. Those are my Fulgrim-minis and when my hobbyspace is up and running again, I will paint them.

"Criticizing me means you hate me".

That's the other thing they're saying.

I don't hate my country. I love my country; I hate what the current administration is doing to it.

This is abuser propaganda.

"You're dependent on me, so regardless of how I treat you, you're not allowed to hate me."

Decent people don't trap people in cycles like this. Decent people treat others with kindness so people wouldn't have any reason to hate them.

You see, AO3 has this wonderful thing where, if you scroll down, below the list of tags to include, you can set a list of tags to exclude.

"i'm tired of seeing-" use your filters.

"but there was an icky ship-!" use your filters.

"i don't like that tag-" use your filters.

don't like what you're seeing? use. your. filters.

Sang/Fulgrim?

You have my attention.

me: 'okay lets work on that sang/fulgrim thing' my brain: 'no. we are going to think about the trazyn/clonegrim victorian vampire au' me: 'okay… so lets work on that?' my brain: 'NO! we are ONLY thinking about them having freaky vampire sex in trazyn's secluded manor'
