I Love Characters Who Do The “i Worship The Myth I Make Of You” And In Turn Dehumanize And Get Wrong

Tumblr already has a personalization algorithm it's called my beloved mutuals who have great taste and only wish to psychologically damage me sometimes

Superiority complex?

No, it's actually quite simple.

Also here is this as my final contribution to fandom for today.

"I don't meddle with the unintellectuals" get this Fulgrim slander out of my face. Fulgrim worked tirelessly for the common people of Chemos before the Emperor found him, and he carried those values of lifting up the downtrodden with him throughout the Great Crusade, and likely beyond.

Big fan of this reddit "chose your husband" primarch memes depiction of Konrad. I don't like the Dorn one, it makes him sound like an asshole and I have varying opinions on the rest. But the Konrad one is perfect.

And I like how his dark and gritty nature and cuddles were actually connected kinda like a trauma response rather than the generic edgy guy.

Also this glorious comment by redditor Jaxolotle:

Slaanesh is the god of obsession and excess, first and foremost.

What is a Space Marine most likely going to become obsessed with? Battle.

A whole chunk of the legion probably went the same route as Eidolon, doing whatever off-the-rails experiments on augmenting themselves to become better marksmen or swordsmen or whatever else (side note: sniper marines aren't done enough as a concept). They didn't do this because they were worse than the average marine from other legions, they did this because they wanted to be better than everyone around them.

Also, in Fulgrim, we see how Space Marines react to arousal in the Maraviglia. What do they do? They start killing the people around them.

The Flanderization of Slaanesh is one of the worst things to happen to the Emperor's Children's characterization. Slaanesh is not the god of sex.

everyone thinks EC are pushover stupid self absorbed weaklings and I think if that’s how you conceptualize us hust because we like partying and body modification and music and drugs. if you think we aren’t still the poets and artists and musicians and composers and so much more under all that. Fuck you. Genuinely fuck you. I hate you. We’re not stupid we’re not stupid perverts can you please take us fucking seriously

"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.

It's warhammer. All human bones come from the Holy Human Form, and are therefore holy bones.

sisters collecting some potentially holy bones

Plot twist (or untwist): he becomes a peacock mantis shrimp.

What primarch shall be shrimpified?

… shall? anon what are you planning

… angron. so he can finally have some fucking peace. shrimps is too small for butchers nails

Yes, this does count as an aerospace question. And yes, their aerodynamics are quite bad. They would not fly very well with modern technology.

That "with modern technology" part is the key word, there. Because according to the lore, a lot of them can canonically fly very well.

Most canon speeds for 40k aircraft are 2000 kph or more, at about a mile above sea level. The speed of sound at that altitude is a bit over 1200 kph, for reference. Having 20,000+ km of range (eg they could fly from anywhere on earth to anywhere else on earth) isn't uncommon, either.

Many are also single-stage-to-orbit spacecraft (meaning that when they go to space, they take the entire spacecraft with them, and don't have boosters that they drop partway up like real world rockets), and all of those are reusable (meaning they can make multiple flights to and from orbit) and able to withstand reentry without any heat shielding beyond whatever armor they might have (and they are armored, with larger craft like the Thunderhawk being similar in durability to heavier tanks like Land Raiders).

There are a few conclusions you can draw from that.

Any of these aircraft would experience immense drag when flying (or when reentering the atmosphere). Not only does this mean that their airframes would need to be able to withstand the stress from that drag, they also need engines powerful enough to push them against it.

The combination of their range and single-stage-to-orbit capacity (and payload) means that they are powered by something far more energy-dense than any real world fuel.

I have a feeling that a space marine (talking about in armour here btw) might actualy be more earodynamic than any of the space marine planes

You know what? Yeah

me impatiently to the little french cat boiling me in a stew: chat am I cooked

Really the people arguing that are just trying to make Perturabo seem super important. They understand his need for praise as a need for others to not receive praise.

'oooohhh perturabo is the only one who actually did anything for the heresy' EXCUUUUUUUSE YOU.

LOOKING PRETTY IS 'DOING SOMETHING'. its for morale i'm keeping morale up.
