It’s A Process

Unsure of what I’m doing exactly but I’m doing it anyway

Zahndrekh's handwriting:

Perfect, very neat & technically accurate

Terrible, doctor style scrawl

Somewhere in between, or possibly varies by context

Secret fourth thing?

Remaining time: 6 days 17 hours

Was rereading severed again & thinking about The Notes. I'm a big fan of imagining his casual handwriting as being almost fully illegible to everyone but Obyron but he can write Very Properly if he needs to

Anover revenge, this time on @syberfab !! Kalu & Chomper would make such cute plushies 🥰🫀

Had an absolutely terrible idea. Was thinking abt the adoption au and another random idea and abt how I kind of like the hc of Zahndrekh being a chronic adopter. Doubly funny in the far future, him just sort of unofficially declaring himself someone's father / uncle / grandpa. My brain decided to inform me, actually, this could canonically work; if he’s subconsciously aware of the fact there are no more children and it distresses him, perhaps he copes w that slight awareness by becoming more paternal with anyone even remotely receptive of it. Extremely fucked up and sad

Re: making a list of potential voice claims, realized I could inflict psychic damage on you guys too. this is a snippet from the TDK audiobook, the treaty signing. First speaker is Zultanekh.

[capricioussun]

After being mentally body slammed by the TDK audiobook, I would love to compile a list of potential voice claims for pretty much any of the necrons. Any suggestions / additions would be greatly welcomed and appreciated, feel free to send asks, comment, dms, submissions w a clip, what have you ✨

After I finish these revenges I'm going to have to get WAY less ambitious if I intend to finish any more attacks this year. I love drawring your guys & there are so still many I want to get to ;;

Due to the fact I am, for the moment, reflecting on things from a (believed to be) more stable headspace, wanted to do a little general update on things

Admittedly, I have a difficulty talking about personal things this publicly for a myriad of reasons, so I might take this down at some point if it starts to make me anxious, but I've been contemplating trying to make a post like this for a while now.

I was officially diagnosed with fibromyalgia last year (tho I'm not convinced it isn't actually EDS, but that's neither here nor there). This, alongside untreated adhd & OCD has had a very, very large impact on my mental health and overall ability to...do pretty much anything. I'm not sure if it's gotten significantly worse the past few years as a result of potential long COVID or just as a natural progression, but recently (since about fall / winter of last year) the fatigue and brain fog has really hit an all time high for consistently making me feel like a large person shaped puddle of slime.

Since about February I've relapsed a bit with depression and anxiety for what I suspect is tied to a health problem I'm in the process of having checked out, which is why posting has tapered out so badly. Aaand also why I've embarrassingly started making and deleting vent posts again (one of the reasons I struggle posting stuff like This, always worried it'll slip into Vent Territory).

But I do feel like it's...maybe important to talk about. I am in the process of seeing what can be done to improve the situation, but it's slow going for sure.

That being said, I'm very very grateful for the patience and kindness shown to me. Sometimes it feels like your soul is being juiced out through your face, yeah, but I remain optimistic despite it all!

Alright. Don't forget to take care of yourself, too 🫵

now that we're getting the wicked warp of the west do we think there's any chance at all for nearish future drops of like, new joytoy crons. Or like literally anything with them

Yk initially I'd kind of liked the idea of someone sandborn being assigned as a vargard being seen as a bit odd but as I was mulling smth earlier the mentality did a full 180

I'd previously been running mostly with the logic of nobility of various ranks often being prioritized for higher military positions. Like, if you were from a family of lower standing, instead of aiming to be an admiral or nemesor, you'd likely aim for lychguard or vargard, and likewise those positions would often be more freely assigned by class first, skill second (unless the disparity was too much to ignore).

But then I thought about it, specifically thinking about the adoption AU, a conversation Zahndrekh has with Oltyx, and I realized 'maybe it actually makes way more sense for a vargard to be sandborn or otherwise significantly lower ranking because they'd probably have nothing to gain through betrayal'.

If an overlord has a vargard who's from a pretty prestigious bloodline, it's easy to imagine they'd have plenty incentive to usurp them, and possibly depending on the dynasty's own beliefs around that sort of thing, would be seen as fit for the throne if they pulled it off successfully.

I don't feel like they'd be so gracious with a sandborn soldier elevated to such a rank and then using treachery to attempt to pull themself higher.

Vargards are kind of unique, aren't they? They don't just hold a military role, they're essentially an extension of their master. Lychguard captains seem to be a similarly equivalent military rank, but vargards are the second in command both on and off the field. They don't outrank other nobility within the court, but they do seem to stand almost alongside them, and they can command them when on their own masters orders.

It seems like the type of position someone could really take advantage of, especially if they have the breeding to be more easily endorsed by the court should they so choose. Especially someone already raised with some measure of entitlement engrained into their psyche.

But sandborn soldiers are raised to believe their sole purpose is to serve their betters, and that there generally is no place for them anywhere higher in society, so what would they have to gain? Perhaps in some unusual circumstances it does work in their favor, but I'd be more than willing to bet it would otherwise not. That, on top of the improvement in living conditions with the role alone would likely be seen as plenty to fully ensure the desired, unfailing loyalty.

WHY did they make the low contrast palette more saturated??? This sucks man. Can tumblr not go five minutes without making things A Little Worse for no reason ??
