Yeah, my boys in purple had issues long before Slaanesh was in the equation. Slaanesh was just an enabler who was more open about enabling their obsessions.
I find it really funny when ppl are like “ohh nooo slaanesh corrupted the emperors children and Fulgrim and now they’re on drugs”
Like the emperors children pre heresy weren’t obsessed with high performance and being the best to an unhealthy degree and also happened to have an unethical apothecary who is the craziest person in the galaxy…
I’m sure noooooooobody over there was ever tweaking out of their fucking mind beating their chest in the mirror repeating “I am greatest i am the king of the world” while practicing sword skills to perfection for 72 hours straight without sleep
There totally wasn’t “the wolf of Wall Street in space” going on over there
let’s be so for real considering the circumstances
There totally isn’t a history of militaries obsessed with perfection, aesthetics and high achievement using copious amounts of uppers and stimulants during battle and being basically coked out of their minds…. The very thing warhammer is meat to satirize
Sure yeeeeah, it was aaaaalll Slaanesh….
Juuuuust a thought 🫣
All I’m saying is all slaanesh did was spice things up
MF be like "Leandros should have gone to a chaplain or libarian and handled his suspicions of Titus in-house", and you know what? I get that. There's precedent for it. I remember reading about this big incident at the end of the Great Crusade where space marines handled suspicions of heresy in-house. I don't quite remember the name. Something starting with an "H", I think.
I love the "the navy would love to have you" "not gay enough yet".

Someone else wrote it? You can do it better. Maybe not from everyone's point of view, but definitely someone's, probably yours.
fanfic writing culture isn’t “oh dang! I wanted to write about this prompt with this character but someone else already wrote it, so now I can’t”.
fanfic writing culture is always “two cakes is better than one. the more the merrier. there can ever be enough fics of this character with this prompt!”
Damn, AI *is* getting smarter!

That fic pretty much carries the Guillivraine ship in my eyes. It does tend to focus more on things in 30k than 40k, and it does have some other weirdness (a lot of heavily enforced gender roles in the Imperium, among other things), but it's very good, and it does take the ship seriously, and does explore the dynamics of such a relationship.
I think the reason why I dislike Guillivraine so much is because of the fact that, imo, the majority of the shippers don't really take the ship seriously themselves. Jokes about ships are fine and cool, but that's literally all I see about the ship. Not two people carrying the burden of trying to save their respective races from certain doom and feeling understood by the other. Not two people haunted and traumatized by their respective pasts. Not all the nuances and difficulties that would happen in the case of Human x Eldar relationship: diplomatic, platonic and especially romantic.
But nope. Its quite literally just a xenophilia joke to even the shippers themselves. I don't mind xenophilia jokes about human x alien relationships in 40k, but not when it's... just everything there is to the pair.

Last night I realized that Emperor's Children will be my sixth army.
Slaanesh would be pleased.
Whispered: volume
Said softly: tone
I know adverbs are controversial, but "said softly" means something different than "whispered" and this is the hill I will die on.
