comic book lunacy

[cognitivemania]

In all my time reading, why does English literature (actual published work) use "", ?, ! When writing dialogue but when I crack a Spanish book they use — —, ¡!,¿?. Nothing against it. How did this split happen?

I've been thinking about this skybound canon divergent AU for a long time which is WHAT IF Megatron and Optimus fell into Earth together, got captured by the Cobra-la, and escaped together through cooperation

Like instead of Lazerbeak being Megatron's eyes, what if it had been Optimus? Co-dependency oh yes oh yes... Very toxic, but they'll get around! Your red eyes through mine, and blues in yours.

(this was actually an old artwork. I tweaked it bc I wanted it to have more story)

James workshop had a missed opportunity to have Konrad curze impersonate corvus corax and when the raven guard finally discovered who he really was he could've hit the megamind skidaddle

"I can kitbash this..." I mutter when disfiguring the kibble from the Warhammer model I bought.

What are the chances for an in-universe condom brand whose slogan is "The emperor protects"?

There are two kinds of 40k books: "Space Man Shoot Bad Guys With Big Gun" and "Meditations on the dehumanizing nature of war and the futility of mutual kindness in the face of suffocating oppression and predjudice by Askaurazoth the Child Flenser"

Just finished dark imperium (my paperback is falling apart｡⁠:ﾟ⁠(⁠;⁠´⁠∩⁠`⁠;⁠)ﾟ⁠:⁠｡)

I'll take a break and read hours rising that I bought yesterday before I start plague wars. Which I may or may not read the 2026 celebration before finally reading godblight. Then I'll read all my non 40k books on my shelf.

Typing this out to remind myself in what order I'll be reading. Hopefully I can finally write some fanfiction after....*checks date*....2 years....

[cognitivemania]

Yeah just finished hours rising ~last week?, 404 pages iirc. And five chapters in dark imperium. Why did I assume reading 400 pages before reading 400 pages was a grand idea?

[cognitivemania]

*hits pipe*

Death korps of krieg in the omega-k end of the world scenario (end of death) who are constantly repaired and redeployed like the eratzs pilot kind of way + aesthetic wise.

Now I want to write fanfiction, it won't be good, but the idea will be there.

The autocorrect either spells eisenhorm as "rise horn" or "Eisenhower", no in between

[cognitivemania]

So uh....has anyone heard of valor mortis? That game that is supposed to release this year? Sure, it could be later in the year, like December or August...but has there been a second teaser or was it just that? Now I'm more skeptical about it (the day before left me scarred)

I need to write this before my mind forgets.

I had a dream where some guy who had a YouTube channel called something "12 minute movies" something. Very early 200s indie poor budget and very 80s/2000s cgi even more poorer than that? Made a Warhammer 40k low budget movie. I don't know WHAT the plot it (fuck my mind is easing) but it starts out at this old place with a bunch of guys and main character, princeps (was dressed but it was so low quality.) talking and standing around (princeps was in the back obscured by rusted white flaking paint pipes, pretty large) They were "working", I don't know what, but they were manning the "titan", we don't get any outside shots of our titan. And the princeps (shitty helmet, but we can see his face, looked in his mid or late 20s, wore dirty white, some dirty white baggy pants that may as well be fabric poorly stitched, and some early 2000s sneakers). He says to the other guy's to burn it all down and we get a shot of his shoes and the dirty floor of some unknown place that was the filming place. The "princeps" walks towards the control room, and we get a long shot of him doing that but I don't remember the visuals.

Anywho the place to pilot the titan is really fucking empty (this whole place was lore contradictory) and they were just standing there with their two moderati at his side. It had the imperial Aquila on the chamber's floor with a large fucking screen in front that turned on so 90s cgi style. I think the princeps was going to collapse? Because I remember the two moderati dressed in black holding him so he wouldn't fall to the floor as the large flat screen turned on. (Yeah so the budget turned from $2 to $2000 somewhere in the process but I don't know when)

I remember they were in a dire situation in the plot so when the TV turned on (everyone's clothing was lore contradictory) they were ready to badmouth? The princeps....

Imaginary movie so compelling I woke up from having bloodquest (I can't find it on Internet archive) open on my phone and started reading 40k fanfiction.

I think Perturabo should get Lion pregnant tbh but no one is ready for that convo so w/e

[cognitivemania]

Two emotionally stunted guys in a relationship, given that said guys blew up their planets they could make for some chemistry, not the good kind but there's a reaction of sorts.

Oh man, how the kid would turn out?

[jaghatai-khock]

STOOOPPP NOW IM THINKING ABOUT IT I THINK

I think they’d be held to impossible standards by both parents while also dealing with both of them vying for their love and approval so it’s just a whole mess and somehow the kid gets taken in by Guilliman or Fulgrim

[cognitivemania]

Baby gets killed in Olympia or gets awkward deadbeat father reunion in son of the forest.

Maybe we can convolude it with being at the mercy of lion's bombing of macragge while confronting Konrad curze. (iirc, in your old blog some blorboo mentioned something about lion not giving two shits about Konrad kidnapping Callahan.)

Either way, that kid will become an estranged child no matter the scenario.
