Also, there's nothing wrong with projecting in your interpretations of a character. There's a lot of gaps in even the most thoroughly-written characters, and alternate character interpretations are what makes literary analysis worth doing. With all the parts of ourselves we already see written into characters we love, it's only natural that we fill in the gaps with other parts of ourselves.
I'll admit I disagree with a lot of how you interpret Fulgrim, but most of where my own interpretation differs from yours is from how I am projecting on him.
????????? Dude I’m not trying to “own” you or whatever the fuck your Twitter brain thinks I’m trying to do. You clearly love Fulgrim as a character, but you also have a weird sense of projection on him. If you only love Slaanesh Fulgrim, you might not love *Fulgrim,* just the drugs he’s on.
Okay. Okay. Let me put it this way.
I love Fulgrim. At all points. But i am tired. Tireddddd. Of people acting like staying with the imperium would have been ‘better’ for him. It would have been bad. There was already toxic perfectionism happening in his brain under the imperium.
I can also post more about pre heresy Fulgrim, but there’s just… less material to work with there, since his fall starts pretty early on in the heresy
Fulgrim is now a creature of the Warp, meaning his mental state greatly affects his physical state.
The virus bomb left no lasting mark on the primarch, but Rylanor's own words, the "denial of (his) magnificence," very much did.
I know (I think) that Rylanor making Fulgrim ugly is a joke, but the entire ordeal left a scar on Fulgrim’s ego. According my knowledge, a daemon prince or primarch can change their form to anything, so Rylanor’s defiance and bruise on Fulgrim’s ego caused him to not regenerate quite right
It's really funny to see a sci-fi versus debate where someone's like "Well, this franchise's ships are 10 times the size of that franchise's ships, so that franchise has no chance whatsoever" and the latter franchise is an anime where ships carry guns that shoot antimatter and the former pretends to be somewhat grounded and doesn't have antimatter weapons.
Size matters not, indeed.
Listen, if he's comfortable enough to come out of the closet, we should let him.
i hope i am
Dark Angels:
Named after a poem about being gay
have a primarch named after a gay poet
there's an urban legend about their fortress-monastery being named after a gay bar
their lore is an allegory for being gay and in the closet
Of course, the Space Marines in general are incredibly homoerotic, just as the god-emperor intended.
Hey, I'm just poking my head into the hobby and getting a feel for all the factions. Which army in the Imperium is the most Woke?
Defintely space marines. All those armour colours? The overdressing? Boys only??? Oversized weapons? Leather bodygloves?? Bunch of fruits
This, more than anything else, is why I relate to the Emperor's Children.
I follow the Astartes Anonymous theory for Perturabo: what do you *think* he made the Iron Circle for if not to be his supporting environment when he wants to be soft?
Which primarch dolly would be best at taking cock? And I don’t mean fake crying from pleasure like some sex dolls have, but which butthole would be the most slick and accadanting to it’s grith and size? Or: You think like with how imperial fists are all about enduring pain, would Dorn be that type of guy to pretend sexualy as a statue while partner electroduces them and call him his huge brave little dolly?
Hmmmm, very good questions all around. First of all, I must say; I don’t think EVERY primarch would be a doll. Some of them would be dollmakers, and some of them would have no interest in dollification whatsoever.
IMO the list is as follows:
Lion: Doll, only for Sanguinius, reluctant at first but then feels how lovely it is to have his angel fuss over tying his hair back with a ribbon and call him a beautiful doll. Then he’s smitten with the concept. Gets dressed in fancy Caliban court attire and imperial dress uniform, because he’s a little figurine of a knight. Doesn’t get penetrated, but Sanguinius will jack or suck him off at the end of doll time if he behaves.
2: turns out they were a recast knockoff :/
Fulgrim: Doll OR Dollmaker. Partial to the ball jointed doll, EGL kind of look; fluffy petticoats and lace and ruffles abound, big sweet eyes, pink cheeks and lips. Will be a dollmaker for anyone curious, just to help them try it out, and is secretly holding out hope that Konrad will agree to it one day; he has such perfect pale skin, and big dark eyes, and long dark hair, he’d be the perfect doll. Fulgrim gets penetrated by his own dollmaker, easily and eagerly - his cunt is soaked by the time he’s fully dressed, he enjoys it so much, and from there it’s just a matter of pushing his petticoats up.
Perturabo: Neither, but not for lack of trying. He gets too impatient and uncomfortable to be a doll and too frustrated being a dollmaker. He’s asked Fulgrim a few times if he can have a go at him while he’s still in doll headspace though.
Jaghatai: skip I don’t know enough about him
Leman Russ: this guy’s into prey/pred and puppy play, not dolls
Dorn: Yeah kind of exactly what you said, honestly
Konrad: HE WOULD BE SUCH A GOOD DOLL I KNOW HE WOULD. Unfortunately. The everything else about him. Keep asking, Fulgrim, you’ll get him one day. Wouldn’t like penetration, but would like grinding with another doll while their maker watches.
Sanguinius: Dollmaker!! More of a masculine focus with his dolls, dressing them up like decorated generals in parade uniform or fairytale princes. Pretty enough to be a doll himself, but it feels too much like worship to him, and he doesn’t like being worshipped
Ferrus: Another dollmaker! For Fulgrim this time. He doesn’t like an awful lot of frill and decadence in his own life, but when it comes to making sure the ruffles and petticoats sit perfectly on his doll? He’ll be laser-focused on lace. Adores putting on the finishing touches; hair ornaments, jewelry, gently sliding and buckling shoes on. Having Fulgrim so malleable in his grasp just makes him bend his dolly over and fuck him full as soon as he’s dressed.
11: concept for a playline fashion doll that never got past prototyping :(
Angron: DO NOT
Roboute: Another smart-suited fairytale prince doll for Sanguinius! Doesn’t get penetrated, but adores giving oral - tell him he’s even prettier on his knees and he’ll whine
Mortarion: Stinky. Do not attempt
Magnus: He’ll try anything once! Prefers the clothing worn by the wealthy on Prospero for dolls - light, gauzy linen skirts dyed beautiful colours, jewelry dripping with precious metals and semi-precious stones, intricate sandals, maybe even a beaded net over the hair. It’s about the process, to him, not fitting the criteria of what a doll ‘should’ look like. Prefers to penetrate, regardless of if he’s doll or maker
Horus: Simply does not ‘get it’. Likes kinky sex! Just doesn’t click with this kind
Lorgar: Nah. Religion kink, maybe virginity kink, but not dollification
Vulkan: I don’t think he’d be a dollmaker, but he does strike me as the sort to want to play with a doll. Maybe he can work out an arrangement with one of the makers
Corvus: Dolly in denial. Get Corvus a pretty little gothic lolita dress and a black petticoat and cute little mary-jane style shoes and that’s it. The point of no return. Corvus would also be such a beautiful doll, with the pale skin and dark eyes and hair.
Alpharius(? Omegon??): Who. Fucking knows
The glove has spoken.
Who did this? XD
Unless you top, in which case you get "Iron Without."
If you fuck an iron warrior this pops up
You have also forgotten I, Cato Sicarius, the most important and iconic member of the most esteemed Ultramarines space marine chapter.
thanks to @moociaoafterdark for this treasure >:3c
The working conditions aren't great, but they throw morale-boosting pizza parties every month.
I think it's funny how in Warhammer, Nurgle's domain is just so much less appealing than the other three Chaos Gods, so to compensate they just made it canon that Nurgle is a cool boss. Like yes, he will give you turbo syphilis, but he's the kind of god you could have a beer with. In the Warhammer universe, people fall to darkness because they become overwhelmed by violence, become incredibly horny, desire terrible arcane knowledge, or because they didn't get a raise even though they've been going above and beyond at work this year.
Femboys, Warhammer 40,000, Battleships, and whatever else crosses my mind
