<Searching for shipgirl aer on pintrest>
Pintrest: is this what you want? (yuri)
Me: no, show me "ship girl"
Pintrest: is *this* what you want? (more yuri)
Me: still no, show me "battleship girl"
Pintrest: so is *this* what you want? (Girls standing on/in front of battleships, and occasional shipgirls)
Me: close enough
people need to realise that a poor little meow meow must be a character who has committed atrocities you cannot poor little meow meow a good guy that’s not how this works
There is a reason my homebrew chapter is a Blood Angels successor.
I'm quite fond of femboy vampires in power armor with jet packs.
Waiiit, a minute...
Hmm...
Let me check something real quick, *ehem*
FULGRIM IS A LITTLE BITCH!!! JUST A STUPID FEMBOY!!! HE CAN'T DO ANYTHING AND HE ACHIEVED NOTHING, EVEN BEFORE CHAOS GOT HIS ASS!!! HE NEVER LOVED ANYONE!!!! PERTURABO IS A CHAD FOR BEATING HIM UP IN ANGEL EXTERMINATUS!!!!! FERRUS AND HORUS SHOULD'VE NEVER TRUSTED HIM!!!!
So, what would you have had him do?
MF be like "Leandros should have gone to a chaplain or libarian and handled his suspicions of Titus in-house", and you know what? I get that. There's precedent for it. I remember reading about this big incident at the end of the Great Crusade where space marines handled suspicions of heresy in-house. I don't quite remember the name. Something starting with an "H", I think.
I have two separate armies using Codex: Space Marines, and you could tell them apart from a glance of the army lists, without even looking at the paintjobs (and ignoring divergent chapter units).
I will never understand why people put Space Marines as a "beginners faction". Literally no army allows you to collect 2000+ points worth of gamepieces that do not interact or synergize with each other. Not even talking about building a "competitive" list here, but just about having the pieces work together with the whole thing having base functionality.
Space Marines is literally the worst faction to start with as a new player. It's 10 different armies in a trenchcoat and they do not overlap as much as you'd think they do in what they use and how they use it; all while the game is balanced around assuming you know what you are doing here. This is also the main reason "generic space marine" win rates are usually so low. People get baited into what might possibly the the least beginner-friendly faction because SOMEHOW there persists the idea of them being the "starter army", and then they obviously get stomped.
i love characters who do the “i worship the myth i make of you” and in turn dehumanize and get wrong the object of their devotion and love. yes project a thing that does not exist onto a pedestal and kneel at it like it is your altar. this will surely not blow up in both of your faces eventually
Well, if there's a better time for me to start glazing Messages For Dad, it would be now. https://archiveofourown.org/works/21518860/chapters/51293176
That fic pretty much carries the Guillivraine ship in my eyes. It does tend to focus more on things in 30k than 40k, and it does have some other weirdness (a lot of heavily enforced gender roles in the Imperium, among other things), but it's very good, and it does take the ship seriously, and does explore the dynamics of such a relationship.
I think the reason why I dislike Guillivraine so much is because of the fact that, imo, the majority of the shippers don't really take the ship seriously themselves. Jokes about ships are fine and cool, but that's literally all I see about the ship. Not two people carrying the burden of trying to save their respective races from certain doom and feeling understood by the other. Not two people haunted and traumatized by their respective pasts. Not all the nuances and difficulties that would happen in the case of Human x Eldar relationship: diplomatic, platonic and especially romantic.
But nope. Its quite literally just a xenophilia joke to even the shippers themselves. I don't mind xenophilia jokes about human x alien relationships in 40k, but not when it's... just everything there is to the pair.

The funny thing is they've basically got the opposite stance on FSM. One says they can't exist ever, because lore, one says they do exist and always have, because lore.
Femboys, Warhammer 40,000, Battleships, and whatever else crosses my mind
