what did your GRANDMOTHERS do? #feminism
The one from father side was a professional dancer, later - dance teacher and had her own dance group. Also she went through the WWII from the very beginning - she danced for soldiers and wounded.
The one from mother side was a brilliant French teacher, translator and scientist in languages.
They are both my heroes, they are gone for a long time now, and I miss them dearly
Saw people bitching on Reddit about how it's implausible for the Primarchs to be so emotionally immature as 200 year old genius war veterans. They even went so far as to cite it as an example of bad writing.
And like...that's wild to me? That anyone thinks emotional maturity is just a thing that happens if you wait long enough? Or that being hyper-intelligent guarantees emotional intelligence? Have you even met people before??
The Primarchs reached physical maturity at a rapid rate, I think the time frame spans anywhere between 1-10 years. So there were Primarchs being treated as infallible demi-god kings after only being alive for three years. They are not having anything CLOSE to a normal childhood.
With normal humans, there's a noted phenomenon where the emotional development of celebrities is often stunted at the age they became famous; if you skyrocketed to stardom at 16 years old, you'll likely be walking around in a 40 year old's body but functioning with a teenagers maturity level. It's because their ability to grow into healthy emotional maturity is disrupted by trauma, a lack of normal social development, intense pressure/responsibility, etc.
Most of the Primarchs grew into 9ft toddlers overnight and then no one had the balls to tell them "I think you're acting like a dumb bitch, actually" ever again. Most of them, from the jump, were taught the entire world revolved around them. That is TERRIBLE for you.
And then there's the fact that a fair share of them had traumatic, abusive childhoods. One of the hallmarks of a traumatized kid is a certain degree of age-inappropriate maturity, like a 12 year old who talks and operates like a grown ass adult. But what people tend to forget is that while traumatized kids are hyper-mature in some areas, they'll also be extremely immature in others.
As a former traumatized child, I had adults remarking on my precociousness all the time when I was a teen; I had a very world weary outlook, I understood and could converse about adult topics, I was extremely self-sufficient...but I'd also have fuckin tantrums over minor inconveniences. I couldn't regulate my emotions even if you'd paid me. I was self-centered and petty and volatile as hell.
Dang, sounds familiar.
The Primarchs who do have some semblance of emotional maturity? Guilliman, Dorn and Khan: three guys with stable, loving family units. Guilliman also had a mom there who'd call him out on his bullshit, he had someone to hold him accountable, he wasn't allowed to be an infallible demi-god. This makes a difference.
And cognitive intelligence really means fuck all when it comes to emotional intelligence. My mom's dad was a mathematics professor at Yale for a bit, but he quit his position because he could not fucking handle students correcting him sometimes. My mom had to grow up in poverty because her dad would have a massive self-destructive crashout and quit a job anytime someone said "Well actually--". He'd grown up being told he was a special infallible genius by a coddling mother and it fuckin destroyed him, it made him insufferable.
Once again: sounds familiar, yeah?
And I shouldn't even have to explain why "if you live long enough, you'll eventually become emotionally mature" is ridiculous, we all know boomers who act like annoying toddlers. That is...insanely common.
Like it really shouldn't be hard to conceptualize why someone who's been denied ANY shot at normal human emotional development would act like a 13 year old boy at 200 years old.
Damn! You speak my mind here.
Totally agree!
Emotional maturity is a thing you ‘workout for it’ not ‘born with it’ or ‘auto receive it through time’. Especially the last one, if so all old people would be saints.
That’s absolutely true. There’s too much nitpicking directed at those who never had the chance to go through all the stages of growing up. That’s the whole point of the heresy — that superhumans turned out to be, in essence, giant children.
This is clearly seen in the example of Vulkan. Even as a beloved son and member of a kind community, he was forced at the age of 3 or 4 to fight to the death against drukhari and defend his entire city, effectively becoming its leader.
And what did he do after that? He led people on a campaign into the strange dadly dimension. Everyone died except him. He was terrified and deeply traumatized by it. And what does that tell us? It was a childish act.
And the contest with the Emperor over the giant salamander? Seriously. He hung on by his fingertips over the lava chasm because he didn't want to lose his prize and lose the game.
It took Vulkan several years in the Emperor’s palace to learn and mature even a little. Just think about the fact that the Emperor found a 4-year-old boy who, not long ago, had to take hammers and kill horny slave owners in leather bikinis.
Actually, what strikes me as even funnier is the fact that Vulkan’s upbringing was entrusted to Ferrus, who spent his entire childhood fighting giant worms in caves
Aaaaand in this speech we always return to the point what a good father Konor Guilliman was ;_; He gave his son an appropriate childhood and younth (sometimes even against Roboute's will))), and all the instruments for working with emotions

men took my little pony away from us girls so us teen girls are takin pro wrestling fuck yall just try n stop us
have fun fetishizing the shit out of *real life* celebrities. it actually makes the people who sexualize the shit out of children’s cartoons seem normal.
did you just imply being attracted to actual real human males isn’t normal but wanting to fuck cartoon horses is
I need to reblog this again because it still makes me laugh
I just want to say, with all respect to teen girls, they can't take prowrestling, because it was taken long ago by us, middle-aged women. As Randy Orton once said, "I've read those fanfics, it's me and Cody, always me and Cody..."
"Istvan Toth? I heard about that Hungarian pus sack! That he was dangerously clever. And as slippery as a bag of eels"
Okay, let me tell you a story. At the beginning of this year I was on the verge of depression. In this state, I thought about quitting cosplay. Nothing made sense anymore, everything seemed lost and useless. I felt incredibly lonely. Life had changed so much that I just gave up.
I've pretty much stopped checking my social media, but a couple of times I noticed posts about a new game set in the Middle Ages. It's funny that what finally drew my attention to this game was an angry post by some dude who “accidentally” discovered the possibility of gay romance and was very unhappy about it. “Haha,” I thought. “Okay, this is interesting.” And so, I discovered «Kingdom Come Deliverance 2».
At that particular moment, I didn't have the opportunity to play the game, but I decided to watch some cutscenes. Just to get an main idea. Of course, I immediately fell in love with hansry. Who didn’t? But something very special happened in my head when I saw HIM.

One of the most weird things for me is people in the fandom who say, “But Vulkan isn't black, I mean, he is black, but I don't recognize him as black, he's just a white guy with black skin.”
And every time, I think they're fucking joking, but they're not.
I mean, no one has a problem with Jaghatai, who is described in the canon as beautiful and graceful asian man with skin as dark as copper, and whose planet's culture is a mix of different Asian cultures.
But a black guy living on a planet with strong references to African culture can't be among the primarchs.
People get terribly offended when I tell them that they have a little everyday racist inside them. They tell me about the radiation on Nocturne.
Radiation does not turn all people on Nocturne black. There are people with light, tanned and dark skin, just like on any other planet (yes, even on Fenris, yes, dark-skinned space wolves are okay), because people colonized space and planets, and they were different.
I see many references to African cultures in the image of the planet Nocturne and the way of life of the salamanders. Yes, in its whole form, it is not Africa, but no Primarch planet is a pure form of any particular culture.
Anyway, I still don't understand what the problem is with seeing Vulkan as a big gentle and beautiful black man.
Yes, I just got another comment on ao3 saying, “I know Vulkan isn't black, but...”
Why the fuck
This author chose a language of facts
Ferrus is such a boring, flavourless cardboard cutout compared to N'Kari!
Fulgrim and N'Kari are the disaster couple we deserve! Way more sexual tension than the dry "love" quote from Ferrus' Primarch novel.
All quotes from Slaves to Darkness by John French
Fulgrim ran a hand over its hair. ‘There, N’kari, my delight… We will have bliss again once this is done with, but he is family, and that means I should listen to what he says, hmm? At least a little.’
...........
‘You want me to help you betray him. Oh, Lorgar, I didn’t think you had it in you!’ Fulgrim uncoiled himself from N’kari and slithered down the side of the dais towards Lorgar. ...........
N’kari bellowed. Until now Fulgrim’s consort had left the demigods to their fight, but now it came across the bloody ground in a blur. The exalted daemon had sloughed off its previous shape.
Overprotective slaaneshi shapeshifter-boy/girl/all-friend? - Yes, please!
N’kari walked to Fulgrim’s side, its bull-headed form shrinking and thinning until it was a slender figure wrapped in red silk, its skin the colour of a shark’s belly, its eyes black orbs. A delicate crest of bone and skin ran down the centre of its scalp. ‘Where the Prince of the Princes goes, so go I,’ it said, its voice a melody that promised bliss and suffering. ‘I am bound to this and to him. As you command him, so shall I follow your will. I shall raise no hand against you, nor shall I seek to break the bonds you have placed.’
Join the Dark Side! We have shapeshifters!
I love Fulgrim/Nkari, and quotes are amazing, but why do you need talk bad about others OTP for praising yours?
It looks especially strange, knowing, that topicstarter react REALLY agressivly about others bad words on their favorite characters. And now doing just the same. Really kind of strange. Not to mention, that it would be no Fulgrim we love without his relationship with Ferris, it's one of pillars of this character.
birch
tried to continue babydaddy stuff with them
ref was used
Vulkan and N`bel
I 💞 this family Soo much
Perty is actually the most progressive primarch. There's this saying (I think, I saw it on tumblr once) that you should marry a guy who has a sister because he is used to seeing women in non romantic situations, meanwhile Perty is the only primarch confirmed to have a sister like pressence growng up and he's still a cunt.
Yeah and he killed her
Also, it is confirmed, that Corvus had a sister figure, Euphrenia Nasturi. Their relationship lasted for a very long time, she became a captain of one of his ships. It had hard times too (when Euphrenia was tired of Corax being too much nervous about her security), but also we have a scene in books, where during Heresy time Corvus speaks with Nasturi very sincerely about his fears, and she cheers him up.

Reblog if you've found friendship because of your fandoms.

Nice guys <3
My bro @lastoptimist made the aesthetic about best boys of heresy
Their love in "Deathfire" was so sweet and gorgeous. And Guilliman was their fairy godfather

Rip Fulgrim, you would have HATED Ai "artist"
Fulgrim would fucking love AI art simply how for fast you can make it and the amount of it you can make. He would be sitting there trying to make the perfect prompt. He would be "fixing" other artist works with AI. And he would be happy about how much the use of it annoys real artists.
Great crusade Fulgrim is blinded by his pursuit of perfection to the point where his understanding of art is purely mechanical and practical. Because he isn't truly human, he is an imitation.
His art, AI or not, would be just as soulless as the sculptures he attempted to make of his captains aboard his flagship, where he killed remembrancer Ostian Delafour for his valid criticisms.
‘Great art isn’t about reason, it’s about what comes from the heart,’ said Ostian. ‘You can work with all the technical perfection in the galaxy, but if there’s no passion, then it is wasted effort.’ ‘There is such a thing as perfection,’ snapped Fulgrim, ‘and our purpose for living is to find that perfection and show it forth. Everything that limits us we have to put aside.’ Ostian shook his head, too caught up in his words to notice the primarch’s growing anger. ‘No, my lord, for the artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing. It is the essence of being human that one does not seek perfection.’
That is my read on Fulgrim at least. Probably fucking wrong. I've rapidly lost all confidence in my logic. anyway.
I would disagree, I mean on Chemos he did the opposite from AI, he improved the factory machines and helped the average people to make art, to enjoy art and culture.
And I mean he even encouraged his sons, to do art themselves, even even though they are warriors in the first place.
Yes is is obsessed with perfection but at the same time he wants to achieve this perfection by work, by improving himself, by discipline, by being ambitous and not by doing it the easy way. Yes He would like the perfection part of AI but he will despise every AI artist, because they are just lazy.
For me I think he would wanted to know which words the AI people but in the searchbar and draw an even more perfect picture by himself. Just to proof them that AI is just crap for lazy people.
Yes, Fulgrim would hate AI-slop with a passion.
Because perfection is about fighting yourself to get better, while AI-"art" is as much art as ordering a sandwich at Subway is. It's not art to tell somebody to put stuff together you didn't create yourself. It's absolutely soulless and is just scraps stolen from perfectionists. That's so very antagonistic towards honing your skills like the EC do, it's grotesque.
It's also not about output quantity. It never is in the novels and it never is in real life.
You learn nothing from using AI. And therefore you are not getting better or closer to perfection.
Struggle is part of the learning process and part of the path to that unattainable perfection that finally pushed the Legion over the edge. You don't struggle if you are not pushing yourself and formulating prompts is too lazy and too predictable to cause growing pains.
By definition generative AI will always give you the most likely outcome. If you look at the Gaussian function, you can see where the most likely outcome resides: Smack in the middle of mediocrity.
And mediocrity is everything Fulgrim and his sons despise.
I think, pre-heresy would despise AI art, but demon-Fulgrim would LOVE it, because he went to even worse art-degradation in canon x))))
humble present for my best friend`s birthday. Blame her for me in your fandom.
@lastoptimist love you!
THAT'S MINE YEEEEEEAH
You should be gracious Warhammer fandom it could be George Martin at your place
