Hilarious that you think us not being functional after 8:30 pm is okay.
I need to look into this concept.
Prompt: Titus wistfully tells Mira he wishes they could be honour-brothers.
I'm intrigued. I don't think I've heard of this concept before? What do you mean?
Is Slaanesh American?
Slaanesh throwing a gender reveal party for Fulgrim. Thousands dead, millions injured, Snek is very happy
The necron is in Twice Dead King (and she only really gets an offhand mention, so all we know about her is that she transitioned some time after biotransferrence).
Trans rights in the Imperium are definitely something stratified, though. I'd expect that gender-affirming surgery in the Imperium is about as difficult to access as any other type of surgery (due to most of the population living on hiveworlds in slums that are comparable in density to Kowloon), but those that do have access have access to things beyond what anyone on earth could ever hope to receive. But nobody would go around thinking trans people are heretics or mutants or whatever.
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.
Slay.
He's too pretty for helmets.
Sanguinius I love you but where the fuck is your helmet ðŸ˜
uk people, sign and share
non uk people, share but don't sign
terfs, get in the bin and stay there
Different type of evil, anyways.
(this one has rational discussions about why you should worship the Dark Gods with actual arguments and not just dogma)
Evil Emperor and Erda by Ruslan Korovkin
It's a case of something I've actually seen in myself, where they're so set in their ways and beliefs that the idea of "someone", as in, a distant unknown figure, would disagree with them. Sure, they might know a person who does, but that's a *That Person* thing, they only do it because they're "weird". They see something they like, and to them of *course* it agrees with them, because to them, it has no reason not to.
They're like the Emperor. They're so sure that they're right that they can't comprehend some "sane, informed, and reasonable" person disagreeing with them.
So apparently on twitter there's a whole thing going on where anti-woke Warhammer fans performatively stormed out by declaring that they were going to play the horror-themed WWI wargame Trench Crusade instead, only to be mass-banned from its discord because the moderators didn't want a bunch of paleocon trolls stinking up the place.
The thing that blows my mind isn't just that they thought the thoroughly subversive Trench Crusade was positive Christian rep, but that they thought Warhammer 40,000 was. The setting where the messiah is explicitly dead and rotting and was an anti-religion crusader in life. Meanwhile Warhammer Fantasy's Sigmar is much more Thor than Jesus. A lot of conservative evangelicals and tradcaths seem to fall into liking straight up pagan gods if they have a sufficiently macho and traditionalist (western European) aesthetic.
Honestly, this is beyond media illiteracy, it's just straight-up blindness. Obliviousness beyond even the people who think Robocop and Starship Troopers are gung-ho pro-American action movies. Now I'm left to wonder how many fans of the Blasphemous game series are passionate reactionary Christians who get the happy feelings from the aesthetics and totally ignore the story and themes.
Still, I am glad to have learned about Trench Crusade through this, looks like a cool game. Aesthetic and themes kind of remind me of the Trench Foot/Countrycide mod for Doom (which, granted, started off as a Warhammer 40K mod...).
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.
Military nerds be like "I can suspend my disbelief for psychic powers, artificial intelligence, brain uploading, telepathy headsets, railguns, and spider tanks, but I draw the line at effective tank armor and air defense."
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.
Femboys, Warhammer 40,000, Battleships, and whatever else crosses my mind
