KONRAD KURZE from WARHAMMER 40,000
JUSTIFICATION:
"Received visions of a hellish future but grew up on Gotham but Everywhere and Worse so had a very fucked sense of morality that led to them helping usher in the dark future they constantly saw. Transitioning probably wouldn't have saved her but it would make her breakdowns more interesting." - @foxgirl-warcriminal

“Give me a moment alone with him. He will see the light,”
- To the Emperor, regarding a recalcitrant allied Warlord.
“Better terror than slaughter. Better atrocity than genocide.”
- to Malcador
“One day, he will be wrong. And on that day… Those who have no reason to fear will suddenly discover it. I flatter myself to believe that, in already being disturbed by the possibility, I might comport myself with marginally more control.”
- on Horus
“Love him? Yes. I love my Father. Believe him? That is far more complicated. I believe his intentions are good and his logic sound. His willingness to embrace half truths to accomplish it… a grave strategic blunder.”
- to the Second Primarch
“I am something of an expert in the psyche, as well you know, brother. And I will tell you something I would rarely allow to slip from betwixt my lips. To see a soul so genuinely invested in the well being of others is as unsettling to the human mind as the presence of a psychotic. Both are cut from a similar cloth, you see. Aberrations, as it were. Frankly, he terrifies me. I am more comfortable in the presence of a psychic null.”
- to Sanguinius on Vulkan
- Konrad Curze, “On the Primarchs,” Volume XVIII

Thinking about how the Primarchs (especially Horus) are so strong they’d be able to just manhandle you during sex.. they’re easily able to flip you around, pin you down, pull your legs open.. like these guys are the ultimate powertops when they wanna be lmao
"When they wanna be" is accurate because I can't see Lorgar and hmmm
Lorgar and maybe 1 other (one of the Twins?) not really dominating when in bed
"B-But Slimers, clearly Konrad-"
Look me in the eyes, anon, look me in the eyes and tell me Konrad wouldn't be pelvic bones turned to dust feral, and thus, not taking control of the situation?
Though because I'm also on this tangent, I can easily see some primarchs (Horus and MAYBE, just MAYBE if out of pure curiosity, Magnus) letting you take the reigns if only to later put you under their control
Also can you just IMAGINE, BEAR WITH ME, IMAGINE
Sanguinius
You imagine him to be soft, gentle
And he is!
For the first five minutes
#feral bird man is feral#i dont make the rules#well actually jk i kinda do because these are just my headcanons#that are bound to change with every new argument that i read and go mhm yeah sounds bout right#sanguinius#horus lupercal#magnus the red#konrad curze#i keep nearly typing konrad kurze#2lim3rz chats to anonymous#warhammer 40k#warhammer 40k headcanons

Do you have any book recommendations? I’m trying to get out of my habit of just re listening to the Konrad Kurze primarch book again.
But you’re art goes hard. I love seeing it appear on my dash. <3
Ooooh books!
But of course (or Curze in your case .. damn, I'm seeing myself out now ... ) it depends on your taste.
If you already are on a Night Lords-roll you may add some of their more iconic appearances to your menu. Like the short stories "Savage Weapons" and "Prince of Crows". You get some very disturbing Konrad in both "Vulkan lives" and "Unremembered Empire", too! Culminating in "Pharos" - the novel that kind of introduces The Painted Count's backstory.
But if you want to branch out of Night Lords, I will always and ever recommend the Fabius-books. They are such a treat and the best peek into Emperor's Childrens-mindset you will ever get. If you start with the Fulgrim-Primarch-novel (please don't confuse it with McNeill's "Fulgrim". You are looking for Josh Reynolds' "Fulgrim"!) and follow the story it will take you naturally through 30k and 40k.
The thing is, I'm rarely reading systematically. I'm following the flow from whatever character I have attached myself to. Or Legion. But Emperor's Children really have a rough time in 30k. You are getting the best start with them with Abnett and Reynolds, but then, BAM! - like a ceramite boot to the crotch along comes McNeill and you have to read his shit with constant "WTF man?!"-face.
But I digress.
If you are looking for some great stand-alone books I would always recommend the Lorgar Primarch novel, too. Followed by the short story "Child of Chaos" to get some Erebus.
In the end it really boils down to pick your favourite guys and go from there. I tried to read everything touching Emperor's Children (a reasonable amount, the 40k and the short stories are really good. You should absolutely read "Reflection Crack'd", because everybody has to suffer this. It's like an initiation ritual), Word Bearers (not that much and very basic stuff. I'm sad. They have some great 30k-books, but 40k .... not much) and Salamanders (boy, oh boy - such big books for such big guys! Their author truly loves them and it shows).
And then I let myself get infected by @ladymirdan's love for Sicarius and started reading his stuff (that's the purest 40k-bolterporn-fun plus some very good character-interaction!).
In one of Cato's novels I met the Deathkorps of Krieg and took a shine to that little Lemmings, so I started reading about them.
Then someone absolutely recommended Kill Team Talon and so I started reading "Deathwatch" by Steve Parker.
You see - it's mostly a natural flow, fuelled by other fans!
And you will get lost into way too many rabbit holes.
The natural starting point may be the first Horus Heresy novel, "Horus Rising". A lot of people, myself included, just read their way from start to finish and took detours along the way in any direction they please. Like, I read about Legio Mortis on Isstvan and immediately branched out to Abnett's "Titanicus", even if that's 40k, not 30k.
It's just a game of getting constantly distracted. And I love it. The Warhammer novels are so diverse in their subjects, you can plunge into any niche you come across. (That may be my ADHD brain talking, who knows, though)
So much fun!
(I'm not the person to ask about any books that are not Space Marine-centred, though! If you are looking for Xenos-, or human-centred stuff, there are way more competent fans out there than me!)
And of course I have forgotten to add a ton of great books. Because I'm way too excitable (as can be measured on the torrent of typos and bad grammar in this post 😁). So, please add favourites in the comments - I NEEEEED even more books on my pile!

If you're still doing these. Kurze and Vulkan, facesitting
The problem with sitting on Vulkan's face was that it gave Konrad nothing to do with his hands, and idle hands, Konrad kept telling Vulkan, did crimes.
So Vulkan should not have been surprised when Konrad's hands got bored and started carving designs into Vulkan's chest.
Vulkan yelped and crossed the idea off of his list of Ways To Reform Konrad Curze.

“The Dark King”
This post contains spoilers for "The Dark King," by Graham McNeill, first published as a short story in the 2007 Games Day exclusive two-story anthology Horus Heresy Chapbook on (as nearly as I can tell) September 23rd, 2007, and later republished in the anthology Shadows of Treachery on September 27th, 2012.
This story is about how Konrad "the Night Haunter" Curze, Primarch of the Night Lords Legion, named after Joseph Conrad and the character Colonel Kurtz from Conrad's story "Heart of Darkness," is a monster and has been for a lot longer than the start of the Heresy. It's told through a series of three scenes, connected disjointedly, because Curze suffers from nightmare visions of the future and seems to experience time out of joint.
In the first scene, Kurze is leading his Space Marines in the execution of a bunch of humans whose world the Night Lords and Imperial Fists are in the process of conquering. Rogal Dorn, Primarch of the Imperial Fists, shows up and is unhappy that Curze is just executing a conquered people, and Curze goes into a speech about how only by demonstrating the consequences of resistance will the rest of the galaxy be convinced to fall in line. They argue a bit and it's better than the usual McNeill arguments. Curze points to the next guy due to be executed and loudly proclaims that whatever he does, he's not to be punished, and then hands him a gun; the guy tries to shoot Curze and Curze turns around and punches him in the head so hard his skull explodiates, then turns to Dorn and goes "See? He wasn't resisting until he thought he wouldn't be punished." Dorn says that when this campaign is done they'll have words, and that Curze's way is not the way of the Imperium, to which Curze says "...you may be right," and then Dorn leaves.
It then cuts very abruptly to Curze imprisoned by Dorn and Fulgrim; Curze is visited by his equerry who says Dorn is recovering from the injuries that Curze inflicted with his bare hands and teeth, so that talk went really bad. Fulgrim signed off on Curze's imprisonment because around the same time, Curze spoke to him in confidence about visions he was having of a dark future of the galaxy embroiled in endless war and how the Emperor was going to try to kill him (Curze), which Fulgrim took as talk of treachery. Anyway there's a big jail escape scene where Curze plays the part of Batman leaping around between rafters in the dark but with more murder, kills all his captors bloodily, and escapes to the Night Lords fleet who were maintaining formation with the Imperial Fists and Emperor's Children, and they run off.
In the third scene, the first two scenes are framed as Curze reminiscing aboard his flagship, having taken his whole fleet back to his homeworld Nostramo (also named after a Joseph Conrad thing). For context, Primarchs were genetically engineered on Earth by the Emperor to serve as super-generals but then the gods of the warp stole their growth pods and scattered them around the galazy; Curze landed on Nostramo, a cyberpunk world of high crime rates, which he murder-batmanned into perfect compliant order before the Emperor found him. Here he's pondering how since he left, the planet has backslid into cyberpunk high crime, so to send a message to the galaxy he Death Stars it, just in time for Imperial fleets sent in pursuit of him to witness the destruction but not in time for them to stop it or to stop him from escaping back into the warp. End of story.
The exact temporal relationships between the three scenes are not clear, like, we don't know how much time passed between them, which I like; I enjoy a tone piece where the reader is given no more information than needed to establish tone. Graham McNeill continues to improve by virtue of structuring his writing so that the things he's weak at (subtle ideological and practical conflicts expressed deftly and intelligently) do not appear. The conflict between Dorn and Curze is not subtle. The story is also very short -- significantly shorter than "The Kaban Project," which helps; it's easier to be punchy when you're working in short form.
It does kind of raise the question of why Dorn thought the Night Lords would be a suitable force to include in the backup force sent to Istvaan V, but I'm not interpreting that as a plot hole; I assume there'll be some narrative later explaining how the Night Lords were brought back into the Imperial fold somewhat following the events of the second scene of the story, and I also believe it later turns out that the third scene of the story takes place significantly after the events in the Istvaan system.
The only thing that really annoys me is that it occasionally calls him Night Haunter, and my personal preference when addressing a fictional character with a name that's a title is that the "the" always get stuck in front of it, so he should be the Night Haunter, not just Night Haunter. But again that's just me being ultra-picky. Good job, Graham McNeill, solid improvement.

Fandom trash ask, 6, 7, please
6. who is your trash fave who is so problematic they probably have hate tumblrs dedicated to them
Horus! Lupercal! Did! Nothing! Wrong!
...please ignore all the planets he destroyed to make a point.
7. what is ur guiltiest guilty fave fandom
hiiiiii Warhammer 40k. I like it! It's been weirdly influential on me! (Some people read Warrior Cats or Homestuck when they were young and it rewired them. 40k was that for me.) But. Man.
There's the way it's a guilty fave in ways that are funny: it's dumb as hell and sometimes I forget how dumb 'Konrad Kurze' or 'Angron' are as names. Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword!
But there's all the ways where-- look. It at one point tried to be satire. I don't think it... necessarily is anymore? And it is full of people who unironically stan the Imperium and think female space marines are full of cooties... and some of these people are the writers.

“Tedious. Odious. Officious. Boring. Both ignorant and naive… a fascinating combination there. They justify enslaving humans as some sort of ‘uplift’ program, and have offered to free any ‘mon-keigh’ servants at a modest cost for each to cover the expense of their food, lodging, and education. I can see no pathway to peace with them.”
- Konrad Curze, Report to the Emperor on the Shi’Vra Craftworld <Aeldari>, “On the Primarchs,” Volume VIII
“There is nothing to say for them beyond the aforementioned cultural sophistication. Their histories claim that their ancient empire fractured because of hedonism, excessive sloth, and avarice. It may well be true. But I cannot but suggest that their collapse was only exacerbated by their rigid, caste-based system. That said, have great sympathy for their poor: they may be the only ones worth saving.”
- Fulgrim, Correspondance with Vulkan re: an unspecified Aeldari polity, “On The Primarchs,” Volume III

I'm not sure who said it originally, but it bears repeating:
Everyone who wants to cuddle Konrad Kurze has no self preservation instincts.
Clearly NO self-preservation instincts.
No wonder she died.
"Look where I am now, though..."
“Also he wasn’t the one who kiled me. It was his death that lead to my eventual demise.”

Present ( a sack of eyeless albino bats, each no more than five inches from wingtip to wingtip ) @ave-dominus-nostramos
Meredith let out a soft noise as the tiny baby bats of Nostromo silently sniffed the air in her direction, letting out little hisses of fear. Her heart melted in that moment.
Her dwarfed hands ever so gently took the sack from Kurzes massive mitts. "Oh my gosh~!" her voice barely a whisper. Her eyes dared to look away from them a moment, showing Konrad she had begun to cry. "They're so tiny, I love them."
