Stuff and Things

Yo, I'm Valiant. My friends know me by my very real and very legal name but Valiant is my catch all handle for just about everything, though you're free to call me whatever you want.

Queer dude in his twenties. I do bring up 18+ topics so I try to keep my space adults only.

American, running on EST.

Alpha Legion best Legion.

Details below the cut. Hydra Dominatus.

General Disclaimer: I ship and talk about Astartes/Astartes, Astartes/Primarch, and Primarch/Primarch. This type of content will appear on my blog, but I do my best to tag it appropriately with whatever variation of tags are typically used. (eg: Using both Astartes/Astartes & Astartes x Astartes). Feel free to nudge me if I missed a tag at some point, it was probably an accident.

Misc. Stuff: ◉ My favorite faction is, predictably, space marines. Imperial, Chaos, Renegade- I'm not picky. The Alpha Legion is my favorite by a country mile, and the Marines Malevolent are a distant second. I don't actively dislike any Chapter or Legion, so I'm happy to chitchat about all of them since they all have some aspect I enjoy :) ◉ In keeping with the Alpha Legion being my favorite Legion, Alpharius and Omegon are my favorite Primarchs. I'd say Horus tentatively takes second place? Third goes to Perturabo. I guess I like my men bald.

◉ I love playing touys; I've got a lot of Marine OCs scattered around, but my homebrew Chapter- The Drowned - and my homebrew Warband- Faith's Whispers - are where most of my love and focus go. If you give me an opportunity to blab about them I'll love you forever.

◉ I like chitchatting in general! Feel free to hit me up for whatever. I'm mainly into 40k these days but WoW, GW2, SWTOR, or whatever else you want to settle into my lap are also A-OK.

◉ I'm on AO3!

People I'd like to get to know better 🫵

<Metal gear solid alert noise> @revenantwyrm ty for the tag!

Last Book: Currently in the middle of The Remnant Blade, but if we're talking COMPLETED books, Dropsite Massacre. Took a mild detour to re-listen to Shroud of Night with some buddies though.

I mean. I have normal feelings and opinions about Shroud of Night. 👍

Last Song: Ectoplasmic by Orax

Last Movie: Predator Badlands. Solid watch, very much enjoyed it. Banger soundtrack, I should go save it somewhere-

Last Series: One Piece (ദ്ദി˙ᗜ˙) I'd like to catch up before I'm 30 but given it's my food-time entertainment and I eat like I'm in some kind of speed-eating competition I don't exactly make much headway LMAO. Only 700-ish episodes to go...

Salty or Sweet: Both in moderation because too much of either at a time makes me stop tasting it and then it loses its appeal :( Sweet for snacking though. Bite sized candy they could never make me give you up.

Coffee or Tea: Coffee, but only because I'm very picky with my tea and like one specific kind of black tea and nothing else. (Black nana tea you my #1 forever 🖤)

Working on: I technically have a kinktober thing from '25 missing day 31 that I'm working on in theory, but right now developing my AL Warband is possessing my whole life. WoW prepatch also just dropped so I'm being a wretched mmo player while my audio books are on.

It's been a surprisingly good time delving into the 40k fandom on Tumblr. I was going insane in my little discord cage and corrupting- I mean, helping my friends become willing converts to the 40k cult. ˙ᴗ˙👍

Tagging @vastallion @shaydh @gaiadoeswarhammer and @angronius before I vanish into the depths and forget to log on for a couple of days. No pressure disclaimer, ofc ✌️

Legally speaking this is a 40k blog but if I may subject you all to my world of warcraft propaganda-

Vulkan reviews the craftsmanship on a masterwork power sword

WIP and rambling below the cut!

This one was fun but sucked ass. I wanted to do more guys for size comparison, but I figured the power sword looking so teensy in his hands would suffice? He is so beautiful to me

[vastallion]

Late night doodles. Lucius my beloved. My PETIT PRINCE, I love him so much you have NO IDEA GUYS. ARGH...

[valiant--art]

this is a nightmare there's a hot apothecary with cool mechadendrites and long claw prosthetics and i know he's only got like one paragraph of lore to his name

this can't be happening to me i thought my obsession with nobodies ended with the unsung

[skunts-own-truth]

Aw man, I LOVE this new model. Look at this guy’s face! Now that’s a fella who really loves his job. <3

He’s beautiful!

[caiusmajor]

According to Warcom, that's "Garreon the Corpsemaster – former Chief Apothecary of the Astral Claws, and rumoured to be one responsible for piecing Huron back together after he met the wrong end of a meltagun at the Siege of Badab."

and yes, he IS beautiful.
