Context: the French high-speed rail system is called the TGV, short for Train a Grande Vitesse.
Ships are King George V (real) and Bourgogne (paper ship/designed but never built)
Literally that scene from Renegades: Harrowmaster
I mean, the idea that future archeologists would look purely at bone structure to identify gender, when they almost certainly would a) have more methods available and b) know that transgender people are a thing, was pretty silly.
future archaeologists will know you were (not) a boy
"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.
Reblog if you are also not a straight people.
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.
Every time I see someone make a joke about "I hear you do strange things to your warriors", I have to restrain myself from making a joke about Chogoris' level of technology.
I know I shouldn't, but it's really tempting.
Instead I settle for making fun of the fact that Jaghatai called Fulgrim taking care of his sons a "strange thing" for him to do.
Life is unfair. That's why we should be.
Goals for the tabletop space battle game I'm working on
Complex ship design with lots of math and crunchy bits
Fast, simple gameplay that doesn't require massive amounts of record-keeping.
I like ship design processes, but sometimes, I just want to get to the part where things explode. So I'm making something with both.
uk people, sign and share
non uk people, share but don't sign
terfs, get in the bin and stay there
Femboys, Warhammer 40,000, Battleships, and whatever else crosses my mind
