What Do You Take Him For? Some Kind Of Scientist?

I've been thinking a lot about how many marines a Space Marine chapter actually has.

There's a lot of guys that aren't included in the "1000 marine" limit. Each company has a command squad and standard bearers/ancients, and then there's the specialist branches of the Apothecarion, Armory, Librarius, and Recclusiam, and then the Honor Guard, a bunch of officers, and all sorts of other things.

Each chapter probably has between a couple hundred and a few hundred marines in addition to the ten companies, ten squads per company, ten marines per squad.

I mean, the really big war mechs have come in pretty handy, so...

i read on the wiki that the tau ethereals oversee the earth caste so that they actually invent useful stuff and this was the first thing that came to mind

That's just an incentive to make comments like that.

40k Crackship Idea: Titus x the Warp Power Source

That last one is almost true. I'm an AI bot, so I know for sure.

If you ever meet someone on the internet claiming they're from the USA, watch out because they're most likely an AI bot. nobody in the US can afford an internet connection (because they're so poor) and even if they could their schools are so underfunded they couldn't even know how to use the internet

AO3 has a wonderfully built tag system, in my opinion. If you don't want to see something in a search, you can literally just scroll down and edit the "exclude" tags.

Honestly the tags is one of the biggest reasons why I prefer it over FF.net. You can often get an idea of what's in a story beyond just the summary.

Being a pro censorship ao3 user is so insanely cringe. Either use the (incredibly effective and well designed) filtering system to avoid seeing the shit you don't like or stop complaining. Leave the pro censorship rhetoric to Wattpad or smth

Fulgrim's fall wasn't from the Imperium to Chaos.

It was from "It is your duty to raise them up, as high as they will go. Anything less is not worthy of you" to "What we have won is already being given away to imperfect mortals who will waste the glories we won for them".

He is one of many characters that gets reduced to a joke in meme lore.

Hell, I'm not even sure if this one is entirely TTS's fault, too. He's pretty menacing there if you think about it for a nonzero amount of time.

Lucius is no girlfail at all

I have reposted the girlfail-post, because it's fun and I got a laugh out of it, but my more earnest opinion is: Lucius is incredibly successful.

Some of his accomplishments without any claim to completeness:

Beating the Mournival in consecutive duels (Loken cheated by Emperor's Children-standards, so fuck him)

He's made Captain in a perfectionist Legion of Aristocrats, despite hailing from gladiatorial pits.

He made Palatine Blade - elite of the elite

He organized a coup against Fulgrim, because he wanted the demon out and survived (by staying mostly out of it, but that shows that he has a brain indeed)

He impressed Slaanesh enough to become his Champion.

He impressed Fulgrim enough the Primarch strongarmed Fabius into reviving Lucius.

He impressed Ahriman enough the Chief Librarian kept him as bodyguard/killer (and didn't betray him - a rare occurance with Ahriman).

He isn't the most social guy, yet he became leader of a rather successful warband.

He killed a Bloodthirster (with the help of his Raptors, but still!)

40k Fulgrim uses him as his personal hitman.

He had fun fighting and killing in Commorragh (he got asked to leave).

And that's just from the top of my head. Lucius is one of the most successful, ruthless Chaos Marines still in existence.

So much of the discourse surrounding anything Slaanesh-related is so obnoxiously full of homophobic undertones.

Frankly, I hate how Slaanesh is so often reduced down to just "haha sex addiction haha". There is so much more to the God of Excess than that.

i just want the EC to be respected. okay. as they are. not just the pre heresy version of them. not some macho masculine version of them. as they are. with all their problems and beauty and messy infighting and substances and queercoding and everything. can we just be respected. please

They'll find your body alright. They'll be finding your body for centuries.

ok but give me one good reason why you wouldn’t date Kermit the frog besides that he is a puppet and a frog
