Warhammer fandom elsewhere on the internet: *nerd bros with memes from 2011 and vaguely weird vibes talking about which primarchs could beat up which*
Warhammer fans on Tumblr: Omg. my guy. My dude. My little humfus blumfus. My skroinky paloinky. My blorbo. Littlest of meow meows. *points towards Deathkiller Skullscream the Vile, Lord of the infamous warband the Boneflayers from Planet Murder, whose least significant warcrimes involve torturing civilians to distill hard drugs out of their neural tissue (its more potent if they die screaming) and owning an entire planet as his own personal torture chamber which he goes to to unwind after a hard day of orphan murdering and slave trading*
For the past two months I've been reading quite a few 40k books.
I saw it all, read it all, not many things suprise me anymore.
BUT
For the love of god everyone just self sensors when it comes to the word fuck.
In First and only they say feth.
In 13th Legion they say frag.
Just say fuck. Just say it, are you afraid your mom will put you on time out if you say it.
Let's ignore the gang rape scene in Inquisition War.
Let's ignore the detailed scenes of being devoured alive by tyranids Deathwing had.
Let's even ignore the mountains of corpses every book has by the end.
No
Saying the word fuck is just taking it too far. Doesn't matter that 4 seconds ago someone died by being disemboweled and we got the juciest details of their guts spilling out.
"He asked then what no other primarch had given voice to. Even Angron, upon his discovery, would act without asking the question Sanguinius now asked.
‘What if I refuse?’
The Emperor seemed to weigh this. ‘You will not refuse. I know your soul. Here, you’ve saved tens of thousands of lives. With me, you will save billions of lives on millions of worlds. You will save the life of every human yet to be born. That is not something you could turn your back on.’
They stared into each other’s eyes, father and son, creator and created. Neither argued against the truth of the Emperor’s words."
Alternatively titled "Sanguinius can see the fuckin future and it didn't take much to get him on E's side."
