//Welcome back!

( Thanks so much! It’s nice to be back, I’m slowly reopening all my blogs but for now I’m hanging out over at @aeonsancient with the Necron crew.)

[aeonsancient]

Mun is back!

(Past few months have been absolute hell, and I apologise for sudden absence in amongst illness and some other personal stuff, but if people would like to thread or whatever else, like chat I’m about now)

[aeonsancient]

:Psa

(Hey! You’ve probably been wondering where the fuck Necron-Mun has been.

In short I’m very unwell currently with possible a certain virus and a pretty major infection.

Whenever I’m feeling better I’ll likely be rping again!)

[shield-captain-pandora]

( When you finally get a graphics tablet and the first thing you draw is momstodes, this is too much fun tbh )

[shield-captain-pandora]

"I love you mommy" (hugs her)

She wordlessly scooped the young child up into her grasp, allowing him to sit on her shoulder. “And same to you child.”

[inboxideas]

Go anon and pretend to be my character's child.

MY WEAKNESS

[shield-captain-pandora]

( Wholesome thoughts time, Pandora’s Shield-Company regard her as someone they can always go to if they need anything at any point like some kind of Mother almost, everyone in her Shield-Company are far younger than she is so it makes sense to me! )

[askthecustodes]

//For all their “solitary warrior” type trainings and the like, they’re very much about letting those who are most suited to the job to do the job, and that would include seeking out advice! :) Also I headcanon that one of the jobs Custodes can rotate into(as they are pretty fluid in terms of roles) is raising the clutches of baby custodes- they start at 4, and still very much need support and teaching and emotional growth that brings mentally healthy adults, and an example of what a good Custodes is. So she could very well be a momma-stodes of multiple types.

[shield-captain-pandora]

( This is fantastic and I love it, momstodes makes an excellent teacher and more importantly mother to babby custodes. I bet at the current point in time she’s the go to woman for the job, and it’s something she wouldn’t mind doing either since she has a very protective mentality. )

[askthecustodes]

//ALL about the baby Custodes. X3 //

❛ Duels only lead to dead men, not respect. ❜ (Carolus)

“Such things have been learned over the millennia, I was young and reckless at one point, but, my duty is to guard those imperative to furthering not the Imperium which is present today but humanity as it was intended through these ages.” 

“If it means defending my comrades and protectees, duelling is at times necessary. With year upon year of experience and said carelessness I have learned to pick my fights.” 

Pandora nodded, she felt satisfied with her reasoning.

[loyalists-forgotten]

Carolus nodded with a hum. Despite their disagreements, he could respect Pandora’s train of thought.

“My Shield-Comoany never quite had the luxury of picking our fights,” he grumbled, reminiscing his younger days as a Sentinel. “Always sent forward from the pack. Anything for His safety, as always… because that went well,” he grimly muttered, staring off to the ground, moreso talking to himself than anyone listening. It took a second for him to catch this, jerking his head back to return his glare to Pandora once he did. “How long have you served, exactly? I don’t remember ever meeting you back then.”

[shield-captain-pandora]

“There were times however it was unavoidable, unfortunately at times the fights the protectee decided to pick had to become my own.” Reckless protectees were always a frontal issue; she found this to be particularly so whenever becoming the shield of an inquisitor or anyone within a combat role that was considerably younger than the standard. 

“Safety of all is paramount, reckless strategic is what gets many killed. They should have been more careful in my opinion, their notion of what protection means is far different from my own, and you were not being protected.” She frowned, those who weren’t of the Aquilan Shield tended to not consider the wider picture when it came to safety of even the protectors. 

“I’d say just over ten thousand, many of said years as Shield-Captain to an Aquilan Shield-Company. Which is why you perhaps haven’t seen much of myself, I was relatively active in my role.”

[shield-captain-pandora]

In response to loyalists-forgotten I actually really like this concept! Carolus' Shield-Company has a similar divergence in age...

( Tends to be the case whenever they get a lil older and have very little to do at times, but this is hands down my favourite headcanon I have for Pandora and the Squad ™. It’s the image of them asking her for advice on several different aspects of fighting, cooking, art and whatever takes their interest due to her age that is so wholesome to me. 

She actually lost her old Shield-Company in the Horus Heresy, so Pandora is incredibly protective over her metaphorical custodian kids.

The divergence in age gives me so much life tbh. )

SEND 💖 TO HOLD MY MUSE’S HAND (@Shield-Captain-Pandora) mom is taking son to scout troop

He swung her hand back and forth, humming softly. “Thanks for coming, mom.” He said with a gentle smile.

[shield-captain-pandora]

Pandora kept a gentle grasp on his hand; holding the Guardian spear in her other - in the same hand was a bag labelled nearly for Nathan, to which she eventually passed onto him. If he was to grow up to be a strong individual he would need to eat properly. “There was little to be done around the palace.”

“I also made you something to eat.”

She could already anticipate the reaction of the boy’s fellow troop members to her presence. After all, many Imperial citizens rarely got to see a Custodian in their life span.

[aquilanboyscout]

He took it with an excited gasp. “Thanks, mom!” He grinned up at her. “Did I get apple slices?” He asked curiously, bouncing happily.

[shield-captain-pandora]

“Yes, as they are required in a balanced diet for a boy your age.” She relayed, it was obvious Pandora had been researching diets and ways to cook for those far younger than she. 

“Where is it you need to go today?”

[shield-captain-pandora]

❛   actually ,  i  think  i  better  get  going  …   it’s  late  and  …   ❜ @the-empress-of-nothing (It appears the Empress has be caught sneaking out >;))

“You will halt-” Pandora went to call out, though something stopped her for a moment. That voice, it resonated something within the deeper cores of her memory. 

The powerful Guardian Spear was lowered for only a moment before the individual, yet down enough to be able to be pulled back into action as soon as she needed it to. It bewildered her how she’d gotten past the other Custodians let alone herself.

“What are you doing here…? Let alone, how are you alive?” For once in her life, she felt a twinge of confusion.

@the-empress-of-nothing

[shield-captain-pandora]

“I insist, is it not my duty to defend, my lord?” She asked simply, though the dark circles under Maeddrona’s eyes were taken note of; perhaps a polite reminder was in order to remind the Emperor of human biology. 

“My lord, the human body requires rest. Her body must be exhausted if it is reacting in such a way.” Pandora assured, seeing that the pride of the Emperor was at risk.

[the-empress-of-nothing]

She stands for a moment, staring at his hand for a moment before looking back to Pandora. “…Yes, I know that.” He clumsily saves himself, unfamiliar with bodies after going so long without one.

“I… was hoping to not need to rely on Maeddrona for what I need.” She was… very resilient to him, and for good reason. “I can simply use more of my own power to rejuvenate the body, let the soul rest.” It seemed he would not back down.

[shield-captain-pandora]

“Hm.” Pandora grunted. She didn’t wish to doubt the Emperor’s judgement but something within her suggested he’d forgotten what it was like to have a body.

“What is it you require, Is it something we as Custodians could complete?” Io would prefer if she could do something to allow for Maeddrona’s body to rest instead. “Though if you are adamantly inclined my Lord I will acquiesce.”

[the-empress-of-nothing]

He is quiet for another long moment, mulling over his options before moving to sit back upon the bed. “No, I see I am rushing both her and the issue…” He gives a deep sigh. “As much as I wish to fix everything, now is not the time.”

[shield-captain-pandora]

“Time shall come to pass my Lord.” Pandora assured. “We stand by your word and not the Imperium’s still, there is many and much to fix. Such as ridding the teachings of that of the First Heretic.” Something she felt she could help with, she was itching to do something under his order again.

“Whatever you call for, it shall be answered.”

[the-empress-of-nothing]

There is a hint of a smile as he looks to Pandora, though Maeddrona’s body looks so, so tired. “There is so much to do, and without my own body it will be difficult to undo the damage. It seems i’ve undone myself by erasing Maeddrona’s existence from the imperium.”

[shield-captain-pandora]

“I won’t lie to you my lord, it may have been a disservice to yourself to do such a thing, now with everything considered.” Pandora admitted, pulling herself away from the door to approach Maeddrona’s form, in which the emperor had chosen to speak through.

“She will require rest, but, if there is anything you must say to me specifically please let me know.”

[the-empress-of-nothing]

He shakes his head. “Not even Roboute can begin disbanding the inquisition, and that is honestly my number one priority.”

“It’s best if I… be patient, I suppose.” His tone is very disappointed, moving Maeddrona’s body to lay down once more.

[shield-captain-pandora]

“If you even breathe in these times they brand you a heretic, speak against the whole ‘god-emperor’ get-up will warrant you swift execution.” She yearned for their disbanding, perhaps then work to restore the Imperium to its’ dream state would begin more smoothly without inquisitorial push back.

“I’ve provided protected those under inquisitorial watch, those of use to us. As soon as you leave them? Death follows.” Pandora screwed her face up sourly for once, talk of the inquisition always left a bad taste in her mouth. 

“Patience is virtue my Lord.” Pandora assured, she herself stayed standing for now until the Emperor had decidedly stopped speaking through Maeddrona. “All will come to fruition within time.”

[the-empress-of-nothing]

“Yes… Take care of her, Sheild Captain. She means more to me than just use.”

With that he let Maeddrona’s body rest, and she did. Peacefull and asleep for a long while, waking groggily as she turned to she Pandora sitting at a chair, though too tired to speak. She was infact wanting to go back to slumber, it seemed.

[shield-captain-pandora]

Pandora gave a simple inclination of the head, her form hitting the chair soon after. Her hand went back to the book at her side, pulling it from the leather pouch once more to begin brushing up on politics. Io’s head snapped around whenever she heard Maeddrona stirring, blinking a few times. 

“Quite alright, my Empress?” the Shield-Captain enquired.
