The Flesh is Weak but Deeds Endure

Please read before proceeding

welcome to the blog! I will try to word this better later but here's some basics so people know what to expect! - duplicate friendly, will interact with multiple versions of the same character without crossing the wires. - generally open to exploring ship dynamics but discuss this OOC first before assuming ferrus is boning someone (eg. fulgrim.) I am not against exploring this on terms we can set in private conversation, but I do not wish to get anyone involved that might be uncomfortable with such things. - I try to stick to a semi-canon depiction of this character, I might tap out of a conversation if i feel the AU it leans on strays too far from what I want for this character to be (TTS is a very strong one in this category). For anything happening in 40k, Ferrus will not remember anything that has happened after the dropsite massacre. - please leave me alone if you're here to harass, bully or troll. I can appreciate a joke, but some things aren't funny. - related: i generally do not want to talk about real life politics (this is an in-character blog) but nazism, racism, transphobia, homophobia, and xenophobia will get you blocked. - please do not contact me with the intent to get me to pick a side on one fandom drama or another. I have been online for too long, I do not want to get involved. I might block you if i feel like you are purposefully sowing division. - this blog is nsfw friendly. NSFW material will appear in posts and reblogs and such but i BEG, absolutely PLEAD of you to not push this to being the main topic of the blog. While nsfw topics can be fun to explore, the mun of this blog is asexual and finds that these topics grow tiresome and boring when overdone. - for the reason of being nsfw friendly, and also just having a relatively old person running the blog, I am likely to ignore blogs that are run by minors, either explicitly or by my own suspicion. This is not because i dislike you. - do not contact me to try and get me to commission you, or to ask for money for a fundraiser. If i want to purchase something from you or support your cause i will seek you out. mun info under the cut (it;s short but less important)

Nessie. they/them. 30+ my main is @niseag-arts but i follow from @ask-kairos-fateweaver. two different email addresses and things.

ooc - hiatus

dear tumblr,

Due to unforeseen circumstances I have to move into a new flat in a month. I am freaking out, sincerely not coping at all.

Ferrus will lay low for a little bit while I scramble to get my life together.

Check out my Ko-fi if you wish to support my takeaway fund. Commissions will not be available.

My lord primarch,what is your thoughts on the concept of death itself?

This is a surprisingly complicated question, citizen. We are the legiones astartes, we bring death to many. and equally, I have lost many sons. Yet, many of us fail to consider death as something that applies to them, too. There is folly in that.

REBLOG IF YOU HAVE AN RP BLOG I CAN SPAM WITH ASKS

perferably WITH the blog but you guys do you

[ask-ferrusmanus]

Lord Father,

Who informed you that most of us hate you?!Although I’m a relatively new Astartes, and thus don’t particularly mean much in the grand scheme of things- *I* certainly don’t hate you!

Not just me- but a good number of my battle brothers and I would be overjoyed to meet you!

(Maybe your presence would cheer up the bitter assholes in our ranks but you didn’t hear that from me!)

Warm regards,

~ (One of) your son(s).

my son. Thank you for these words, you are young, perhaps that is what saves you from bitterness against me. A citizen told me my legion thinks me weak, that I am not a true son of Medusa. And, well. I have made mistakes in my time, which now come to bring their consequences. That said, I am glad to hear from you, son. I admit i do worry about the legion.

[ask-ferrusmanus]

My lord primarch I would respectfully disagree to the belief of most people that you are 'unappealing'.

Just because you do not stand out appearance wise you are still quite handsome.

Embarrassingly I have been stunned and have gone very flustered many times on witnessing your glory my lord primarch.

I.... well then. Thank you, I suppose, for this unsuspected praise.

[ask-ferrusmanus]

What changes have you made or things you corrected since you have now returned my lord?

I intend to talk to my sons, to correct the mistakes I made long ago, but I have been informed they hate me now and I wonder if it will be better for both them and me if I just...do not.

[ask-ferrusmanus]

My lord,another question came from my curiosity.

Have you ever been courted or had attempts made to court you?

Not in a long time. And even when it happened it was rare, I have been told I am not the most appealing person.

[ask-ferrusmanus]

What do you think of Lord Primarch Perturabo?

it's complicated.

[ask-ferrusmanus]

How are you doing so far in the Imperium?What are the...reactions of the Imperium of your strange but miraculous return my lord?

Currently, I am met primarily with distrust. It is exhausting. I suppose it's something that the hands are no longer the first thing people look at every time they see me. Now they're just kind of staring at my neck.

[ask-ferrusmanus]

My lord,are your hands generally warm or cold?

contrary to popular belief, they're usually lukewarm from resting against the rest of my body. though they do grow cold when I am armoured.

[ask-ferrusmanus]

Do you feel things differently after the living metal coated your hands or are they the same?

Sensation in my hands is significantly reduced. The metal forms a barrier between me and anything I attempt to touch. Additionally, when I look at them they do not register as "my hands", my hands were lost to the metal. These are not mine.

[ask-ferrusmanus]

What is your thoughts on intelligent alien life?

There is no such thing as an intelligent Xeno. Though some might try to make you believe they are, none of them are more than beasts acting upon vile instincts. Do not let them fool you into thinking they can be reasoned with. In fact, do not listen to them speak at all, but fire at sight.

FOOLS
