Darius and the Inner Circle

(Warhammer 30-40k rp account) I am the Chapter Master of the Revenants of the XIV, proud loyalists hailing from the Death Guard legion. (If you’re checking why the hell a 40k RP account liked something very far from 40k it’s because I never figured out side blogs.)

[chapter-master-darius]

Alright, making a pinned post here.

Mun is 27 (took me way too long to change that, whoops),transmasc. He/him pronouns.

So, if you’re wondering how to learn about Darius and the Inner Circle, search Bio in my tags. ‘True Bio’ is the condensed version with the important stuff. I’m also mainly a mobile user. This is an 18+ blog.

If you want to see my writing in short(ish) stories, that would be the Storytelling tag.

‘Can’t Say That on TV’ is my nsfw tag.

Cats and Dogs tags are pictures of my cats and dogs. Kinda self explanatory.

OOC is also self explanatory.

The Music tag is for my little ‘theme songs’ posts. Cause I love doing that and I listen to music often.

Shitpost and Incorrect quotes are my dumbass side.

There is a Warhammer Fantasy AU I have, ‘AU bio’ tag should take you to the essentials.

I AM ALWAYS UP FOR RANDOM STARTERS! Random questions about my OCs are always appreciated aswell.

Some common but non-featured tags will be here on this post, as well as some common RP partners.

For any events I have running, please hit the event tag below. I’ll make sure to tag the beginning and end announcements.

this post really attracted the lamest people in the fucking world

easier to kiss I ain't complaining

[eroticcannibal]

The act of simply watching people have sex is itself morally neutral. That's all porn is.

[kiss-of-light]

it isn’t, though. sorry if I’m missing a joke here but… it really, really isn’t.

[eroticcannibal]

It is. There is nothing wrong with watching people have sex. The morality of it depends on the context (buying porn from sex workers to watch is good, revenge porn is bad, for example), but watching people fuck? That's morally neutral. It's just watching some activities.

[kiss-of-light]

Almost all porn is abuse, you know that right? Most women in porn are drugged and then raped.

Even if she were paid, it would still be coercive, similarly to prostitution. You cannot buy women, or their consent. That immediately creates a coercive force that makes the consent invalid.

[eroticcannibal]

Ok so first of all you're lying. That is not how most porn works at all.

Regarding economic coercion, that's called having a job. But also I promise you there is a world of difference between trying to buy a person (for the love of fuck will you people ever aknowledge its not only women in porn and work conditions are a concern for EVERYONE involved) and someone making a career in porn.

Also re read what I said because you have said nothing that argues against what im saying AT ALL.

[queerautism]

The way these people talk about sex workers genuinely makes me sick. Sex workers are not being bought, they are not owned by people paying them. They are compensated for their services or performance, like every other worker. They own themselves no matter what. They deserve dignity and respect and their work not being described in such horrible fucking ways.

And it's genuinely fucked up to tell people what they can and cannot consent to tbh? You don't get to choose that for others and then try to say you genuinely care about consent. You just want to control people.

[eroticcannibal]

Absolutely right. We are people, we own ourselves, we decide what we do and don't want to do. Honestly if I attach the criteria of pay and a camera to my consent, denying me that is no less fucked up than forcing that on me.

Puritanical christians/radfems and rapists/traffickers are two sides of the same coin and all ultimately working towards the goal of ruining people's lives for their own benefit.

[autistichalsin]

Also, it needs to be repeated again that stigmatization of sex work leaves trafficking victims trapped. They are now in an even more socioeconomically disadvantaged position than before because no one will want to help an "icky porn star" who is being exploited.

To help trafficked and coerced sex workers we necessarily must end the demonization of sex work or else you are giving traffickers the literal tools to force unwilling people into it!

One of my family members was sex trafficked. Her case became a part of state legal precedent because her trafficker's conviction resulted in an expanded definition of one of the terms used to define trafficking (kept vague for the sake of my family's anonymity.) You know what one of the biggest barriers was to her getting help?

The fact that everyone she reached out to saw her as a stupid meth head "whore" and not a person who was fucking afraid for her life.

If society had shown sex workers some basic amount of decency, she might have had the social standing to get help sooner.

[dynastyscans-deactivated2024100]

remember: a big part of what "sex work is work" means is "let sex workers have workers' protections"

[vlad-theimplier]

I got to see a change in the criminal law, in real time, that shifted the window on how sex workers are treated in my state. Agencies that tended to treat them as perpetrators, even when they were victims, had their behavior changed the most. But even the more progressive police departments, and of course any number of labor- and benefit-related agencies, also got a few notches more understanding and accepting.

TL;DR: sex workers are people, sex work is work, and the road to utopia is paved with extremely boring legislation and administrative decisions.

I miss when ads were a single click and then they’re gone. Now every ad has a minimum of three phases where you watch a video, exit the still frame of fake gameplay, and then exit the app download. That doesn’t even touch on the ones that forcibly take you to another app after opening a tab in safari without you ever touching the screen.

I hate advertising. I hate that you can’t do anything without companies jumping down your throat with mostly bullshit ads. I hate that billboards exist. I hate that every company unanimously decided to make their ads longer and longer. I hate that ad blockers try to charge you money and there are in app purchases to remove ads. I hate that my attention has become commodified. I hate that there’s nothing I can do about it.

ever since i was a little girl i knew i wanted to deny location sharing and turn off personalized ads and reject all non-essential cookies and not set up siri and face ID

“when asked if she would perform a preemptive nuclear strike on Iran, Kamala did not say no” and Trump said he would bomb Iran out of existence without being asked. lol. typed it out and posted it on his own little social media site. why are you still doing the ‘Kamala was going to be the WAR president she LOVED WAR’ while the Trump White House is making plans to invade Cuba

Those shockingly high “illiteracy” statistics that go around aren’t saying that like 22% of Canadians or 21% of Americans or whatever literally can’t read.

That’s the number of people at level 1 literacy or below. Level 1 literacy is like grade school level. Able to read labels and straightforward instructions and whatnot.

Which is like. Still higher than the ideal for sure, but it’s not like a fifth of adults literally can’t read. They’re just kinda bad at it.

[byjove]

This is going to sound so stupid but as someone from a subtropical area, I struggle to fathom the climate of Britain. I’ve been doing a lot of research on the climate of southern Wales. What do you mean the temperature is usually between 34°f and 66°f? The record low is only -9.9°f and the record high is 98°f? I’m from a place where it is usually between 30° f and 90°f, the record low is -34°f and the record high is 110°f. My brain cannot comprehend the idea of a place that isn’t freezing in the winter and sweltering in the summer. No life threatening temperature seesaw? No tornadoes? No hail?

Okay Let's Try This Again. For Everyone Thinking I Have An Actual Human Child:: She Is Kitty

The traitor Primarchs

[chapter-master-darius]

Darius nods as he listens. "The humans. Are they Norsemen, like me? Or southlanders. Er...Empire folk or whatever people are supposed to call them."

Darius retrieves a flask from his bag and with a small salute to the hidden ambushers, unscrews the cap and takes a drink. As the cap is taken off the strong smell of dwarven ale can be identified easily.

Darius only drinks a small amount, not enough to become drunk or even tipsy.

"I have coin to pay them off, or steel to send them to their Gods."

[warhammer-fantasy-muses]

Oxyotl squints as good as he can with his lidless eyes, trying to discern if his scouts' information had discerned anything about that, before he shakes his head.

"Neither. Not from north, or east. More towards the south. Many looked like slaves or serfs, armed with poor craft weapons. They smelled of dry sand. As if from lands of endless sand..."

Araby. These humans sounded like they were from Araby. Meanwhile, the salute from the Norscan isn't met with anything except distant growls and chuffs from the feral beasts in hiding. Most of them were Carnosaurs and Troglodons being barely reined in by their handlers.

"Your tactics are odd, human. Why pay them to leave? They intrude on our land. Seek to claim our plaques. The Great Plan demands their demise for interfering."

[chapter-master-darius]

"Because when you are starving and someone puts a feast before you, or tells you there is a feast that will never end, you will do many things for it. If they are poor and desperate, they mean no real harm. If you are denied food for many days, or perhaps weeks, you will do anything to eat again. I've felt that kind of hunger, and if that is what motivates them they are easily sent away. If they are motivated by real greed? Then they die." Darius explains.

"Empathy, is what us humans call it. I suppose it's a bit hypocritical of me to preach it. Considering my origins."

Darius then looks around once more. "Would there be a place to care for my horse? I left it in a grotto not far from here, a member of Nakai's clan-er...brood? Was left to guard it while I found you."

[velnna]

and remember

[attackbug]

Please also call them rude.

People don't care as much about being called Lazy. But calling them Rude? That gets to more folks. It's rude that they didn't bother to put effort into whatever it was they used chatgpt for. It's rude that they thought they could advertise to you with cheap slop, thinking that would get your attention. It's rude that they didn't care enough to actually write that email.

Tell them they're being rude. Not lazy. Rude.

[velnna]

Honestly it depends on the person and what they use it for tbh. I have a lot of people around me justifying it as a progressive advanced way of doing things, so pointing out that chatGPT actually just makes them dumber and less qualified as a person tends to be more effective - also because it's objectively true lmao

"But how am I supposed to be able to finish my PhD in 3 years without chatGPT premium?" Maybe if you can't do it without a chatbot you were never qualified for it to begin with, Karen

[chapter-master-darius]

I thought of a depressing quote that Darius would probably say.

"To fight for a galaxy of peace is inherently contradictory. But the idea, a peaceful galaxy? With no need for men like me? I desperately wish I could fight for something like that."
