He looks like he's about to start calling people "mogrels".
Praetorian of Terra
And?
The point is never "It would be a better story if this happened". Nobody is saying "The Horus Heresy would be a better story if Fulgrim didn't fall to Chaos".
‘if only fulgrim didn’t pick up the sword he could have’ could have what. could have what. stayed under the oversight of a distant father figure? kept pressuring himself and his sons to be perfect and flawless all the time? been disposed of when he’d served his purpose? i hate you
Gee, ya think?
What next? Maybe you shouldn't have had directors directly working to undo what the director for the previous movie did?
Scythes of the Emperor fight for Democracy?
Astartes II
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 like this perspective on what a dream job is. I'd probably still do what I want to do now: find new, improved ways of blowing up massive amounts of explosives in a vaguely controlled manner with people on top of them.
The people who say shit like "I don't dream about labour" when asked about their dream job make me sad. It's not their fault and it's an obvious conclusion to come to in the environment that we live in, but they really do seem to make no difference between work, and being exploited. You do want to work, it is inherent human nature to want to do things, you just don't want to slave for shit wages while making profit for someone else.
If art wasn't an option and I didn't have to worry about being profitable, I know what I would be doing: Keep a little shop selling secondhand-thirdhand buttons and buckles.
Thrift shops and secondhand stores could dump (or sell, whatever) their unsold and unwanted goods to me, and I could spend all day going through the heaps and picking them apart, plucking the still-perfectly-good buttons, zippers and buckles out of discarded things with threadbare fabrics and sell them.
Probably also making those little trinket storage boxes out of hollowed-out books. By hollowing out books that nobody wanted or read.
He could have realized that he's good enough. He could have come to terms with his need to be the best, instead of being consumed by it and spat out. He could have not lost his brother and best friend because of pride.

They're different days, just celebrate both!
Happy Holidays! Don't forget to grab a knife :)
He's the best primarch for a reason.
The silly series continues.
