Why can’t real life cities be 10 mile tall gothic metropolises with red and black and skulls and statues of weeping saints everywhere

Wikipedia has citations. 'Nuff said.

I like the bearded Ferrus, and I think it's hilarious how half of them look so done with everything.

We drew the primarchs and Big E in a video chat!

Objectively speaking, if reading it made your afternoon more enjoyable, it's good by at least one metric.

Objectively speaking, the fanfic I’m reading is not good, but my goodness, it’s made my afternoon that much more enjoyable

Fulgrim in memes: haha sex addict, <homophobic stereotype>, <homophobic dogwhistle>

Fulgrim in lore: the best of the primarchs, came from nothing, became ruler of his planet through people liking him, turned his planet into the jewel of the Imperium, didn't view himself (or his sons) as 'above' the common people and in fact cared deeply for them, was married multiple times and loved each of them (and was hurt badly by the fact that they had finite lifespans), conquered a planet with seven marines, was such a capable smith that Ferrus declared the weapon he forged to be better than his own, humble enough that he said Ferrus's weapon was better, snuck up on Horus with an entire fleet and almost averted the Horus Heresy (FUCK YOU EIDOLON), beat Ferrus Manus in a fight (twice), only fell to Chaos because of his self-hatred after killing Ferrus, beat Roboute Guilliman, used Perturabo to fuel his ascension to daemonhood, strangled an Avatar of Khaine (no, this isn't dumb. Avatars of Khaine are warp entities, and strangulation is an intimate, visceral act of violence), and spent a good chunk of the past ten millennia trying to bring Ferrus back on his side.

i think i should be able to duel people who mischaracterize fulgrim and just base him on the memes

I probably blocked most of the people this is relevant to, but a transphobe cannot be an ally to GNC people.

An ally is an ally to people who might be. They do not withold support until a peer-reviewed study has proven that they are, and they do not create an environment that prevents someone from discovering they are not.

Being GNC is not a pipeline to being trans. Nevertheless, there are quite a few trans people who start of GNC, before discovering it's not just how they want to present. An ally lets someone discover which one they are on their own terms. They do not say "you are trans, you're just in denial". They do not say "you aren't trans, that's mental illness".

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.

<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

Shit, I think the AI got this one right.
