Charlotte Squad- map of my mutuals based on Blogs Like This One
Tumblr media
A connection between two blogs denotes that at least one of the blogs showed up on Blogs Like This One for the other blog
Colors are an algorithm thing that outlines closely clustered areas to help make sense of crowded areas sorta. It means nothing more than that but I think it's helpful and the colors make the map look nicer :)
Happy to answer any questions

Some ideas regarding the Grox in my AU:
The entire empire is controlled by a supercomputer hidden in a cave on the main planet. He cares about the well-being of the colonists and is ready to answer any question, he behaves gently, like a caring daddy with kids.
In their free time from work, the Grox relax in the rest rooms, these are the spikes of a house building and, according to my idea, they have windows. Grox can invite his colleagues into the room, drink machine oil with them, look at a lava lamp, listen to the famous Grox anthem, or play a board game. Little assistant drones won’t make their owners bored either!
The last picture shows my Grox characters Tik and Enk, they are best friends, despite their different views. Here they daydreamed after swimming in lava.
(Enk has a very long story, but I'd like to start talking about the characters once I finish OC references and the pages introducing my races. I don't know how long it will take, but the work is progressing, albeit at a slow pace.)

Prepping some sketches for my eventual comparison piece between different grox and their cybernetic upgrades :) Generally, once you reach a certain point, eye cybernetics attempt to mimic the shape of the other eye as closely as they can for a more symmetrical and cohesive look, typically featuring more streamlined and purposefully-placed metallic parts that don't take up as much room around the face. The individual on the left is a regular fodder soldier featuring the classic, relatively inexpensive round robotic eye.
Feel free to send me asks regarding the grox! I'd be happy to answer questions and I need motivation to finally spit out all the ideas I have floating around lol

Drew this during my intense month-long Spore obsession
Twitter mirror: [x]
Rambling under the cut ↓
No surprise to anyone who's played Spore with the cursory pop culture knowledge of the Borg: the Grox are heavily inspired by the Borg. Their file name (Grob) is just "borg" reversed. To the point where in the Spore lore the Grox are seen as the final enemy before ending the game, they're all against organic life, they probe & attack without answering communications... It's all very borg and I'm here for it. I'm such a big fan of the Grox specifically though because they're just what the Borg would be like if they were silly and fun, and they're just super adorable... Anyway I thought it'd be fun to draw a Grox creature and a Borg soldier together! Big fan of these guys. It came out super well too.

Might be taking a break from this blog for a bit, I'm overwhelmed by the amount of interaction it gets and it's honestly become a bit stressful for me. As much as I love running this blog it's sometimes really disheartening to see how many notes a post here can get compared to my art and stuff. While I understand why that is I honestly just wish it was different sometimes.
This blog was originally made for fun but it really just feels like an obligation at times because of how many people are submitting to it. It's why I've been going through asks so infrequently. That, Combined with my hyperfixation on rain world waning, Has been why this blog has been slowing down a bit.
In the meantime you can follow me at @grox-empire, Where I post about my spec-bio / Hard Sci-fi Spore-derived worldbuilding project, Among other things. I'd really appreciate the interaction on my OC content / Art / Worldbuilding.
I may eventually open up mod applications for this blog, But i'm not sure how that will go. I definitely want to make sure mod is given to someone who I trust.
I'll definitely come back to it at some point, But I won't be answering asks for a short while.

how about 2, 5, 11, and 16 for the video game asks?
HEYYYYYYY BUG thank you so much!!!!
2. top 5 games of all time
THATS SOOOOOOO HARD.....ZAMN....okay... i wanted to be like "in no particular order" but unfortunately i think these do need to be ranked it just has to be done so:
rdr2 (very boring answer)
gtav
assassin's creed 4: black flag
subnautica
machinarium
5. most memorable gaming moment
holy shit....probably playing spore when i was like 9 or 10 and finally Finally making it into the center of the galaxy....i remember my mom was vacuuming or sth and i was just genuinely fighting for my life transporting my shitass falling apart spaceship from planet to planet being shot to pieces from every single direction by the grox teeth clenched face 2 centimeters away from the monitor pc mouse drowned in my palm sweat and then finally getting sucked into the endless psychedelic wormhole and like finishing the game technically. i remember literally nothing else abt the cutscene but getting awarded with the thing that let you terraform planets with one single click was like the closest a 9 year old could ever get to some kind of cosmic comprehension experience in my eyes....
Tumblr media
ALSO!!!!! riding the wagon through this oak alley leading up to the braithwaite manor in rdr2....i first did the mission during sunrise and it literally wonked my world clean off......every time i replay the game nowadays i always shave and bathe and put on my best clothes (and then i shave and bathe arthur and put on his best clothes too i guess) bc its such a special milestone to me but it never rly gives me the high that the first time did......sigh......but yeah definitely this
11. favorite game genre?
answered!! probably too extensively LOL
16. singleplayer, multiplayer or both?
singleplayer!!!!!!!! always always singleplayer which might stem from the fact that i'd never had any friends and therefore no one to play video games with growing up but its mainly just my personal preference like i just want to do my own thang alone and in peace and not worry abt anyone else........i do mourn the fact that some games are at their core designed to be strictly multiplayer like gta online or tf2 because i would like nothing more than to play those the way they're intended but alas.. and also nothing makes me angrier than game studios deciding to completely flip out of nowhere and make their game that has always been singleplayer into a multiplayer just to profit off of it like if they make subnautica 3 a multiplayer i will genuinely kill myself and film the whole thing and send it to unknown worlds entertainment to change the trajectory of their lives but restore the trajectory of the game forever

noooot quite about daybreak but do you have any general pointers on how you draw grox? like what anatomically similar creatures i could reference, i cant draw them very well myself but i love how you draw them :D ty
Yes, I do! I have plenty of personal headcanons for them but this can apply to a base-game grox too ^^
In my opinion you can draw Grox however you'd like! I've met people with wildly different takes on them, But universally their core elements are the fact that they are a small, fuzzy species that is typically anthro-adjacent.
One of my absolute biggest tips: SKETCH THE HEAD WITH A SQUARE, NOT A CIRCLE! I picked this up from another friend of mine and it has DRAAAASTICALLY improved both how I draw grox and how I draw in general! Grox do not have circular heads, Instead having very square ones, And I find it's a lot easier to convey that when using a square for the base sketch. When drawing from a perspective, Use a cube.
Tumblr media
From there the rest of the face is pretty easy! I usually draw them w/ two bumps above the eyes to kinda replicate the almost frog-like face shape they have in game.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
BUT!! These can also be very useful for SHAPE LANGUAGE!!
You might notice that when I draw Epsilon, The bumps above his eyes are sharp and almost horn-like.
Tumblr media
This is to further exaggerate his shape language! Epsilon has much pointier features than other Grox I draw to help convey his personality better. For your average Grox I will typically use very squared-off shapes mixed in with sharp and pointy ones, But Epsilon here is all points!
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, With Celeste's I draw hers a lot softer looking and rounder. Also note her rounder jawline.
Grox are deceptively easy to make use of shape language with!
Tumblr media
For how simple their design is, It's incredibly malleable while still being immediately recognizable as a grox.
These grox are all drawn in a rather generic spore style. For my specific take on their design I give them longer, more antennae-like ears, Whiskers as well as radiosensory pits near the corner of my eyes. I have omitted those details to make this easier as those all tie into personal spec-bio and headcanons which you (The Asker or Reader) may not share.
I hope this helps you with drawing their faces at the very least! In a reblog I will include tips on drawing their limbs, As I believe that is another very very important detail

So for the specific character questions:
2 and 9 if that’s ok?
2 (If all of your ocs were to engage in a battle royale, who would die first?) - because i have several OCs who are just literal mice and also a few who are just literal bugs, i'll answer this for my cosmosdex and fallen london ocs (although unfortunately i don't have a very interesting answer to this either way r.i.p.):
of all my cosmosdex ocs, Meingie would die first, not specifically due to any particular physical weakness but because several of my other ocs have grudges against them - not a majority or anything, but definitely enough to team up and maul them. (meingie, to put it simply, is. an irresponsible keeper of giant space beasts. some of my other cosmosdex ocs have been Somewhat Affected by these giant space beasts and the irresponsible husbandry thereof.)
of all my fl ocs, it might be either Jellylorum or Mel, but either will be immediately teaming up with someone far stronger... both are squishy but mel is great with weapons and jellylorum is a literal rat. so i guess i'll go with jellylorum.
9 (Who would, in the situation of little to no money would immediately resort to selling their own (or someone else's) kidney) - Mary (wow her page needs updating) has previously sold someone else's book lung. Elphinstone (the snuffer) has previously sold her own kidney (or some other organ. you get the idea) but she doesn't even have a kidney to sell so she just... went "well! in that case i guess that's not my problem!", stole the would-be buyer's money, and walked out. the other Elphinstone (the grox) would immediately resort to selling her maybe-a-kidney but she hasn't been in that situation yet.
Gilt Virbanix (remember her? i need to start thinking more about her...) would immediately resort to selling her kidney and be suitably dramatic about it. and also then be disappointed when informed that she really doesn't have to sell her kidney (and that's assuming feltaurs even have anything described as a kidney. hey alistair can we get the clearly very important feltaur kidney-or-not organ-selling lore).

Magia Record: Links Masterpost
Here is a Masterpost of links that can help players with Magia Record. This includes links that can help with downloading the game, links to helpful wikis, links to discord servers, links to blogs that review stuff such as memoria, and anything else I find that might seem remotely useful.
Please feel free to reach out and let me know if you have a source/guide that should be included.
Last Updated: October 5, 2023
Note: This list desperately needs a cleanup. New links have been added but the cleanup will probably occur some point in the future. 
Downloading the Game
Downloading JP: This reddit page explains the different methods to download the Japanese version of Magia Record onto your phone, or onto your computer via Emulators.
The Rayshift Patch: This is an APK that patches in English translations for story content and select gameplay. This links to a post explaining how to download it and what to expect when using it.
Country Code Explanation/Help: This Google Doc will help players with Country Code issues (especially if you use VPNs). Made by SerenDark!
Wiki Sources
Magia Record Fandom Wiki: A fandom wiki where you can find important game information on what characters do, what events are up, what the memoria do, and answers to new player questions. This Wikipedia is more based in game information than the below one.
Puella Magi Wiki: The link to this wiki is to the Characters section for Magia Record. I find it to be a good source of learning about characters easily. It also is a total overview of all the Puella Magi Madoka Magica properties and an interesting site to browse. Note: because anyone can edit this wiki, sometimes some character entries are hilariously inaccurate or biased.
Story Content / Translations
Magia Record Master Translation Sheet: A Google Spreadsheet showcasing Arc Two fan translations. Here you can see what has been translated, where to find it, if it’s on the Rayshift Patch, and also who has done the translation.
MagiReco Event Guide: A guide to all of the events in Magia Record, written and edited by several fine folk: Grox, LuminousSky, Ai, SerenDark, hobe, Amano Suzune, and Pinknoise. It orders the events by release, notes who was released, gives the genre, a short synopsis (without spoilers!) and even some ratings! Definitely check it out.
Magia Union Translations: A youtube channel that hosts all of the translated content in the game for both arc one and arc two! This is your one-stop place for finding fan translations.
Magia Record Master Playlist: Organized by @scarfanon, this massive playlist lists everything in order of release. And I do mean EVERYTHING-- all main story, magical girl stories, event stories, quotes, transformation videos, doppels-- it’s got it all. This is the most definitive playlist for the game out there. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by how much story content out there exists, give this a look! Please note that this playlist is still a work in progress.
Google Drive: A google drive containing archived videos of both NA content and the fan translations of Arc two. You can see what is on there and what isn’t by looking at the aforementioned Master Translation Sheet-- there’s a special column on the right that notes if something has been uploaded or not! Run by myself.
Magia Record Story Viewing Order: CarleyWinn on Discord compiled an excellent viewing order for MagiReco content on this Spreadsheet. Take a peruse!
Post-S3 Guide: From the author of the guide, “Since I've noticed that there's an influx of returning/new players after S3's airing, I felt that it would maybe nice if people would have an idea of where to go to after they finished S3 and wanted to jump into Arc 2 or just wanted to know how the anime differs from the game.”
MagiReco Character Search: Want to know what events and stories a character shows up in? Look no more-- here’s a site that does just that. Note, this site is in Japanese but it is intuitive enough to figure out how it works.
Magia Record - Doppel Encyclopedia Translations: Tumblr run by Gilde which translates Doppel entries! This includes Arc 1 and Arc 2 content-- peruse the links at the top of the post to access all the character entries.
Null Magical Girl Translation: The Null Magical Girl story is translated! Translation done by @nymphatix
Guides and Reviews
Raz Anime’s Video Channel: A youtube channel that uploads videos concerning Magia Record news, overviews and opinions on new units, and some speculation. It’s geared more towards Whales/hardcore players, but watching it is still recommended for F2P/casual players due to how Raz breaks down gameplay.
Magireco-Mes: This site will help you plan out your Spirit Enhancement route! It’s in Japanese however and might be difficult to use because auto-translate will not work on it, due to its format.
MagiReco Friends: A site that lets you display your Support to others (and to find good mutuals to befriend). It also has a Spirit Enhancement viewer. This site is in Japanese but should be intuitive to use-- that, or use a translate app.
Tier List: A google excel sheet that has a list of girls in tiers according to Ranked Mirrors, Kimochi, PVE, and more!
Magia Memoria Review: A tumblr blog that reviews memoria in the game. Has an unpredictable upload schedule, and doesn’t yet include reviews for all of the game’s current memoria. Reviews are written by me and vetted by @dendylabyrinth along with @cactus-bun. 
Specialized Guides
Magia Record Damage Mechanics: A site that “covers the Magia Record damage formula in enough detail to calculate damage to within an unavoidable 6% due to intentional randomness.” Extremely helpful for learning about how the game does calculations, but it’s also packed with dense material and might not be the easiest thing for a beginner to learn from.
Copyright Disputes and You: This is a short guide on how to make Copyright disputes on youtube. Most youtubers probably already know how this works, but in case this is your first time, you’re in luck! Includes an easy paragraph you can copy+paste into the reasoning section. Written by me.
One Hundred Evils and You: Stall Teams (for the F2P Player): A guide for defeating the Hundred Evils challenges with easily acquired characters and memoria, along with some tips and tricks for when you actually fight. Written by me.
Note: CC Farming: This is a simple guide on how to farm for CC during specific events. Written by me.
Support Point Farming: This is a guide on how to farm for Support Points during events where there is Half AP/Double Support. Written by me.
Useful Bookmarks
Rika Ren: This site has it all-- a news Mirror, File Mirror, APKs, sound and video viewer, Live2D Viewer, Background and CG Viewer, and other things I’m sure I’ve forgotten.
Kamihama Clock Tower: A helpful page that shows timers for events, banners, and shops. Now you know when a new event will drop to the hour, or how long you have to buy what you want from an event shop!
MagiReco Media Masterlink: This link is a collection of links to various non-game Magia Record works.
Magia Record Mats Drop Rate Sheet: A useful spreadsheet that organizes user-submitted data to help players know where to farm best for mat drops.
Magireco Dropsheet Lookup Tool: Is the Mats Drop Rate Spreadsheet asking too much of your computer? Well, consider this tool instead. This site takes data from the Spreadsheet and allows you to search by item instead!
Magia Record Subreddit: Exactly what you think it is. The subreddit is a little barren with the death of NA, but it’s still an interesting source of memes and occasional tidbits of helpful trivia.

How does your OC display love? What are some habits your OC has picked up?
Forgive me as this is a LONG post, but I felt it would be better to show, rather than tell, this one:
Words could not describe how awkward Perturabo felt being back in the Emperor's palace. It would have been bad enough if it were just his deadbeat father, a half-rotten corpse sitting in an overglorified golden life-support casket, ignoring him as per usual. But it wasn't just his father; so many of his brothers had come for this... ...this Sanguinala... ...in many ways it almost felt like the Heresy had never happened.
Vulcan, Corvus, Fulgrim, ROGAL FUCKING DORN, Magnus.... ...hell, even SANGUINIUS had come back from the dead. Raised by the same mysterious chaos entity that had turned Perturabo's world and soul inside out. Made him live his own life over and over again, through the eyes of the people around him, until he got the point. The people he impacted. The people he used, abused, and destroyed without a second thought. The people he...
...Perturabo shook his head, the physical action somehow dislodging the poisonous psychic tumor from his soul. Even though that parasite was long gone and the Eye of Terror no longer loomed over him, it had been feeding on his twisted spirit for so long that its blasted and withered hide still bled for it. Casting his self-destructive thoughts into the warp. This was a good thing (or so the Lanky Llama said). Though sometimes, when he started to brood and sulk, things would get... ...gummed up. He could shake any errant clots loose himself, but nobody helped the darkness bleed out of him like Nehetari.
And holy shit did he wish she were here right now. When she and her robotic people were around... ...the Lord of Iron actually felt like... ...himself. Or the version of himself that he wanted to be, anyway.
But no, "No xenos allowed at a family gathering," the Emperor had said. Not that it even would have mattered if they were; it was one of those weird weeks where the lanky llama disappeared on him and holed up in her room by herself. Something about a "Necrontyr biological cycle," that would, "likely make her act inappropriately," or "embarrass herself and him," but she would say no more on the matter.
Of course it would happen over the day when he needed--erm could have used her presence the most.
"Aren't you going to open your gifts, brother?"
Perturabo snapped out of his brooding to see Magnus looming beside him. It took him a second to process what he said, but when he did he scowled.
"Gifts Magnus? Really? Do think anyone here would ever give me a gift?"
"Excuse me! What am I, grox manure!?" there was no real irritation in Magnus's voice. He gestured to table in front of Perturabo, where three gifts sat that he could have SWORN were not there before. "And if you must know, you're the only brother here I saw fit to even GET a gift for."
"Aside from Sanguinius."
"Well... ...yeah..." the Crimson King shuffled his wings awkwardly. Both primarchs stole a glance at the MOUNTAIN of gifts that their brother had received. "...b-but he doesn't count."
Perturabo sighed. He didn't feel like feeling jealous of Sanguinius right now. Instead he grabbed the first package; it was obviously Magnus's gift. Whatever was in it was so warp-touched that it levitated a solid three feet off the table and changed size randomly. It turned out to be a small inter-dimensional rift that contained a book of arcane engineering, one that Perturabo had surprisingly not seen before. He thanked his brother; something that drew a surprised look from Magnus and a complimentary hug that Turbo awkwardly returned. The second gift was from Sanguinius, as it turned out, and when he opened the box he saw his own face, reflected in a simple yet elegant mirror. After a moment of wondering if this gift was actually meant for Fulgrim (clone fulgrim), he saw the inscription on the box lid which read, "to my big brother: it brings me joy to see happiness in your eyes now. I hope with this you can see it too."
Perturabo swore under his breath and slammed the box shut, furiously hoping that Magnus hadn't heard him sniffle just a tiny little bit. It was a moving gift to be sure, but after everything that had happened... ...somehow it just made the Lord of Iron feel like garbage. Well... ...more so than usual.
Thankfully, quick-thinking Magnus directed his brother's attention to the third gift. In fact, if he didn't know better, Perturabo would have sworn Magnus seemed even MORE excited for him to open this gift than his own.
"What is... ...is this from...?"
"MHMMM!" Magnus's enthusiasm was all-consuming, his grin audible in his tone. "She asked me come and pick it up from outside her door earlier this morning."
Perturabo's melancholy dissipated into a wave of curiosity. What sat before him was a perfect cube of blackstone, though if he knew anything about Nehetari, he knew that wasn't all there was to it.
Sure enough, when he picked it up, glyphs flashed along its side.
"Is... ...that..."
"Necrontyr," Perturabo murmured in deep concentration. "...and not just any form of Necrontyr; this is Ksakhemet Script."
"What?"
"Think of it as our high gothic. Except it's as if we had a high, HIGH gothic. Only the three Necrontyr kings and their families even knew how to speak this script, let alone how to read and write it. It is ancient, according to Nehetari... ...it's from a time even before the Necrontyr first started their galactic expansion."
Those statements alone were like a different language to Magnus, but his lust for ancient knowledge ignited like a blazing inferno. He would absolutely have to grill both Perturabo AND his xenos companion for more information once she was.... ...*ahem* no longer indesposed.
Perturabo turned the cube over and over in his hands, reading the ornate lettering as best he could. He'd only just started learning how to read Ksakhemet; he couldn't speak it properly because he lacked the extensive Necrontyr vocal range, but the lettering started to make sense the more he plied his fantastic mind.
"It is... ...a puzzle cube. I believe."
"D'AAWWW... How sweet...!"
Perturabo punched his brother in the shoulder, but it phased through his immaterial form.
"Shut your mouth!" He could already feel the heat creeping up his neck and he HATED it. Although he had to admit he was a little touched, if amused, that Nehetari had put together such a... ...thought-out gift.
And well-thought-out it was indeed! It became clear to the Lord of Iron that this wasn't just some slide and lock, physics based puzzle toy for mortal children. It was a custom-made testing tool designed to challenge his understanding of spacial compression, sub-atomic energy transfer, and even Necrontyr cultural theory. Each segment was challenging, unique, and soon he found himself absorbed. Magnus tagged along for the ride of course, and his respect for Nehetari grew each time he heard his brother growl in frustration, or give a small "...Ha! So that's it..."
"She has... ...quite the impressive mind. Especially for a xenos."
Perturabo grunted his affirmation. "...you don't know the half of it. She makes the Hrud look like a bunch of children." With a click the puzzle changed shape in his hands again, "...I would even say she has a mind similar to ours."
"...you don't say..."
"Hmph, she's DEFINITELY smarter than Dorn. I know that for sure."
Magnus chuckled. Of course she was.
The Lord of Iron didn't realize it immediately, but the puzzle cube was meant to serve another function, not just being an intriguing mental exercise. The more he fidgeted with it, the more time passed. Not by some technomantic power or magical means; he was just so absorbed in Nehetari's gift that he didn't notice his brothers packing up their gifts and starting to drift around and away from the throne room. Magnus, realizing he wouldn't be much help with this exercise, had taken notice of the custodes' Captain General (the one they call "kitten") and had begun to chat with him. Sanguinius was now at the Emperor's side, trying to pacify an impatient and belligerent Angron who just wanted to go celebrate Khornnuka with Lotara and Kharn. Corvus had dissapeared to... ...somewhere, and Vulkan was... ....had he somehow jackknifed himself into the psychic fireplace that the Emperor created!? Russ was laughing at him and drinking himself stupid (not that he had many IQ points to lose in the first place), but thankfully nobody was paying any attention to Turbo. Huh, who'd have thought; Perturabo was actually HAPPY that he was being ignored right now.
With a satisfying ding the cube shifted again, and to his surprise, glyphs flashed indicating that this was, in fact, the final challenge.
"Let's have it then. I'm ready..." the Lord of Iron grinned. He flicked the raised pad below the text and the final task scrolled across blackstone. Surprisingly, this time it was in High Gothic.
"...who is... ...my... ...favorite... ...human?"
He stared at the screen, dumbfounded. "Really? After all that, the last puzzle, is 'who's my favorite human?' Really?"
But wait... ...was the answer actually as easy as it appeared? Perturabo wanted to put his own name, but what if he was wrong? What if he wasn't her favorite human? He was hardly even "human" in the first place. Maybe she meant a true, normal human? But if this was supposed to be a present for him, why would she blatantly make him answer that her favorite human WASN'T him. What if...
"Hey nerd, the answer's obviously you."
Perturabo jumped to see Leman Russ passing him.
"What the-! Whe-how did you... ...you can't read!" Perturabo stammered. There was no way Leman just waltzed over here...
The Wolf Lord grinned, "Hey, ye nerds aren't the only ones who know how teh learn things. If I taught meself teh read Fenrisian runes, I can teach meself teh read some wolfin' High Gothic!"
"..."
"...that and I may or may not have used some of meh own psychic powers to read yer mind. You know, teh fill in teh blanks."
Considerably less impressed, Perturabo grumbled as he keyed the letters of his name into the cube. With another ding and a flash of green light, previously invisible cracks along the cube's surface began to glow and the cube began to shift one last time. When it finished, a tiny black tray was left in its place, revealing... ...a letter? And a pict?
"What's all this now?" Leman reached towards the tray.
Perturabo snatched it away, "Fuck off Russ! This is MY gift!"
"Oooh, is this from yer GIRLFRIEND!?"
"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!!"
"Hey fuck you Leman!" Oh boy, here comes Magnus, "Like you could ever understand the subtlety and genius that went into that puzzle box! Let him enjoy his gift in peace!"
"LeT HiM eNjOy HiS gIfT iN pEaCe!" Leman crooned. "Shut her trap and go back teh yer boyfriend, yeh big red canary."
Magnus puffed up in outrage and looked about ready to turn Leman inside out. When Perturabo noticed Sanguinius inbound, no doubt to dissolve the impending battle, he took his chance to dip out. And by "dip out" I mean grab the tray and its contents, and duck under the table. It would hide him for all of a second, but that would be as long as it would take him to read the letter.
Or it would have, if Leman hadn't, SOMEHOW, been able to reach the tray before him. He snatched up the letter, practically from between Perturabo's fingers, and with utter horror the Lord of Iron watched as his brother brandished the page, cleared his throat, and began to read:
"Perturabo..."
"FUCK YOU LEMAN THAT'S NOT YOURS!!" Magnus howled. Perturabo roared in fury. Both brothers made a mad lunge at the Wolf Lord but he dodged, shit-eating grin on his face as he continued reading.
"...Perturabo,
I'm sorry, but I...."
"....failed you?"
At the mention of the word "failed", Perturabo's onslaught faltered, as did Magnus's. Leman's grin died on his lips as he read the next line, his eyes widening for a moment before they squeezed shut. He then passed the letter back to Perturabo, mumbled a barely audible apology, turned, and without a word walked off.
"That's not what I... ...uh... ...expected?" Magnus muttered. "He looked like a kicked pup. What did that letter..."
Perturabo clutched the paper looking the most feral Magnus had ever seen him.
"...you know what, never mind. That letter's meant for you anyway." He added quickly. "I'll be in the library if you need me, brother."
And just like that, Perturabo was alone. Well, mostly; the Emperor was still there, but he was oddly quiet. Sanguinius was watching him too, but from a discreet distance.
The Lord of Iron backed up into the corner of the room, still riled up but looking a little less crazy. Once he was satisfied that NOBODY ELSE would attempt to confiscate his stuff, he finally began to read what Nehetari wrote for him.
"Perturabo,
I am sorry, but I failed you. You said you wanted your brothers' appreciation for a Sanguinala gift, but of all the ones I interviewed asking for an appreciative memory they have of you, the only ones who gave me a response were your brothers Magnus and Sanguinius. So instead I instigated a situation to make one (please reference the included image). If your brother's expressions are to be believed, then I believe they all enjoyed attacking your snow bunker. I certainly enjoyed helping you defend it.
May you have a somber and pleasant celebration,
The Mehlrose,
Nehetari of the Szarekhan Dynasty.
Heir to the Silent Throne."
...Perturabo couldn't believe it.
He's asked for that as a JOKE. He hadn't actually been serious. When she's approached him, asking what he wanted as a "Sanguinala gift," he'd been in the middle of a complicated programming script and had said that just to get the point across that he didn't want to be bothered.
Slowly, and with a shaking hand, he lifted the pict from the tray and turned it over.
And she was right. This shot must have been taken by one of her tunneling scarabs. Or maybe one of her guard as they were circling the perimeter, hurling snow and distracting Russ. But however it was taken, somehow it was able to get a perfect shot of every primarch, including himself and Nehetari, hurling fucking snow or getting completely dunked on, but every single one of them had varying degrees of stupid fucking grin on their faces. Even Corvus was smiling!
It struck him: had that been her plan all along?
Minutes passed, and finally the Emperor himself spoke up. "My son, you're shaking like a Dark Elder nightclub on a Tuesday."
Perturabo didn't hear him. It took everything he had just to hold the pict in his trembling hands.
Why? Why. Why would she bother. How did she... ...why, why, why WHY? HOW!? When did she even have the TIME to plan this out!? There was no way. And not for him. Why? Why for him? And ALL OF THEM. How could she have known they would ALL come?
"Brother, are you ok?"
Perturabo snapped out of the loop to see the Angel standing beside him with a hand on his shoulder. He hadn't realized just how loudly his two hearts had been thundering, how BADLY his whole body had been shaking, until he felt that steadying touch. Instinctively he tried to regain control over his mind and body, and stowed the pict away in his belt.
Sanguinius asked no questions; he simply nodded.
"I'm going to find her..." Perturabo's voice sounded like sandpaper. He could feel the tears rolling down his neck, but he ignored them. "...I don't care if she FUCKING KILLS me; I am going to find her. She has no right.... ...she had no right to... ...to..."
"...go ahead brother." Sanguinius's smile was warm with understanding.
Salvaging what little dignity he felt he had left, Perturabo straightened up, turned on his heel, and walked shakily out of the throne room. He disappeared into the darkness, leaving his father and his brothers to stare after him in wonder.
(Sorry this is such a long post, but I started writing it and just went to town. I wanted to SHOW, rather than just tell, the kinds of things Nehetari does for the individuals that are important to her)
