I'm Fairly Sure This Is Actually A Pretty Common Thing For Eldar In General (dark Or Otherwise). For

Killing Ferrus literally drives him to suicide and is the tipping point that makes him fall.

Whenever he's sober, he is haunted by shame for what he did.

i am punished by love

I wish I could find that excerpt I though I saw a long time ago about a trans sister of battle. I think there were necrons involved.

You see, AO3 has this wonderful thing where, if you scroll down, below the list of tags to include, you can set a list of tags to exclude.

"i'm tired of seeing-" use your filters.

"but there was an icky ship-!" use your filters.

"i don't like that tag-" use your filters.

don't like what you're seeing? use. your. filters.

Slaanesh is the god of obsession and excess, first and foremost.

What is a Space Marine most likely going to become obsessed with? Battle.

A whole chunk of the legion probably went the same route as Eidolon, doing whatever off-the-rails experiments on augmenting themselves to become better marksmen or swordsmen or whatever else (side note: sniper marines aren't done enough as a concept). They didn't do this because they were worse than the average marine from other legions, they did this because they wanted to be better than everyone around them.

Also, in Fulgrim, we see how Space Marines react to arousal in the Maraviglia. What do they do? They start killing the people around them.

The Flanderization of Slaanesh is one of the worst things to happen to the Emperor's Children's characterization. Slaanesh is not the god of sex.

everyone thinks EC are pushover stupid self absorbed weaklings and I think if that’s how you conceptualize us hust because we like partying and body modification and music and drugs. if you think we aren’t still the poets and artists and musicians and composers and so much more under all that. Fuck you. Genuinely fuck you. I hate you. We’re not stupid we’re not stupid perverts can you please take us fucking seriously

Just kidding, the Imperium is run by puritanical morons. They'd never do that.

Considering that one of the fundamental principles of BDSM is that it be safe, sane, and consensual, proper BDSM is, in fact, anathema to Slaanesh, and would therefore be encouraged by the Imperium of Man. In this essay I will

One of the key traits of my homebrew chapter is that they're fighter pilots, so whenever one of my character models fails in a memorable manner, if he doesn't have one already, he's getting a callsign (and a name if I haven't named him by then).

Currently i have:

- Techmarine Takao Mataumoto, callsign "anvil", because he got beat up by a Salamander. Said Salamander was a sergeant--not even a character model, but just a regular guy.

- Captain Imai Kichiro, callsign "Grotslayer". In a battle against the Orks, a grot sniped him in one hit (including a CP reroll for the saving throw) while the rest of the squad remained unharmed from the rest of the unit's shooting.

Don't worry, Dante will be the best older brother any Astartes could ask for for a long time.

Well that sucks

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

I made a sticker

I imagine most of the OCs of a Chaos fan (and there's more than a few of those) would be heretics, and that most of the OCs of a Xenos fan, would in fact be xenos. You just need to find your crowd.

I mean, I'm an Imperium fan and I'm working on a Chaos OC (more a warband of them, since my main focus in this fandom is the game).

Stray thought. Is everyone's 40k oc a loyalist?

I've seen space marines, primarchs, sisters of battle, rogue traders, and so on. They all seem to be loyal to the imperium.

Have I isolated myself by creating a character who isn't a loyalist? Who is, in fact, a heretic?

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. I've reloaded the gun and shot the other foot as well!
