Fulgrim Is Now A Creature Of The Warp, Meaning His Mental State Greatly Affects His Physical State.

Yaoi? In my gayest sci-fi setting ever?

It's more likely than you think.

In the grim darkness of the future… there is only yaoi

Yes, this does count as an aerospace question. And yes, their aerodynamics are quite bad. They would not fly very well with modern technology.

That "with modern technology" part is the key word, there. Because according to the lore, a lot of them can canonically fly very well.

Most canon speeds for 40k aircraft are 2000 kph or more, at about a mile above sea level. The speed of sound at that altitude is a bit over 1200 kph, for reference. Having 20,000+ km of range (eg they could fly from anywhere on earth to anywhere else on earth) isn't uncommon, either.

Many are also single-stage-to-orbit spacecraft (meaning that when they go to space, they take the entire spacecraft with them, and don't have boosters that they drop partway up like real world rockets), and all of those are reusable (meaning they can make multiple flights to and from orbit) and able to withstand reentry without any heat shielding beyond whatever armor they might have (and they are armored, with larger craft like the Thunderhawk being similar in durability to heavier tanks like Land Raiders).

There are a few conclusions you can draw from that.

Any of these aircraft would experience immense drag when flying (or when reentering the atmosphere). Not only does this mean that their airframes would need to be able to withstand the stress from that drag, they also need engines powerful enough to push them against it.

The combination of their range and single-stage-to-orbit capacity (and payload) means that they are powered by something far more energy-dense than any real world fuel.

I have a feeling that a space marine (talking about in armour here btw) might actualy be more earodynamic than any of the space marine planes

You know what? Yeah

Finally got around to painting the buttons I 3d printed and replacing my coat's old buttons.

That last one is almost true. I'm an AI bot, so I know for sure.

If you ever meet someone on the internet claiming they're from the USA, watch out because they're most likely an AI bot. nobody in the US can afford an internet connection (because they're so poor) and even if they could their schools are so underfunded they couldn't even know how to use the internet

A message to queer adults!!

Stop making queer kids feel like they're going to die. Spread information and help links, please, but never, NEVER make a kid need to experience such existential dread.

Tell them how to be safe, not what will happen if they aren't.

Help them proceed instead of explaining why they'll be pushed back.

Teach them how to survive, not how they could die.

Edit: okay, WOW this actually got some attention!!! Here’s some things I wanna clarify

I don’t like risks should be ignored

kids shouldn’t be shielded from knowledge of potential threats

AND KEEP YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES SAFE IF YOU CAN!!!!!!

I mean, it's a pretty impressive gun. It's basically a souped-up meltagun, and while it's pretty much single-shot, it'll be one nasty shot.

Imagine being threatened at gunpoint by Sanguinius. Oh no is the great angel going to smite me? Cut me down with his holy blade?

Nope, he just loads his peashooter and puts it against your head.

He is one of many characters that gets reduced to a joke in meme lore.

Hell, I'm not even sure if this one is entirely TTS's fault, too. He's pretty menacing there if you think about it for a nonzero amount of time.

Lucius is no girlfail at all

I have reposted the girlfail-post, because it's fun and I got a laugh out of it, but my more earnest opinion is: Lucius is incredibly successful.

Some of his accomplishments without any claim to completeness:

Beating the Mournival in consecutive duels (Loken cheated by Emperor's Children-standards, so fuck him)

He's made Captain in a perfectionist Legion of Aristocrats, despite hailing from gladiatorial pits.

He made Palatine Blade - elite of the elite

He organized a coup against Fulgrim, because he wanted the demon out and survived (by staying mostly out of it, but that shows that he has a brain indeed)

He impressed Slaanesh enough to become his Champion.

He impressed Fulgrim enough the Primarch strongarmed Fabius into reviving Lucius.

He impressed Ahriman enough the Chief Librarian kept him as bodyguard/killer (and didn't betray him - a rare occurance with Ahriman).

He isn't the most social guy, yet he became leader of a rather successful warband.

He killed a Bloodthirster (with the help of his Raptors, but still!)

40k Fulgrim uses him as his personal hitman.

He had fun fighting and killing in Commorragh (he got asked to leave).

And that's just from the top of my head. Lucius is one of the most successful, ruthless Chaos Marines still in existence.

"Criticizing me means you hate me".

That's the other thing they're saying.

I don't hate my country. I love my country; I hate what the current administration is doing to it.

This is abuser propaganda.

"You're dependent on me, so regardless of how I treat you, you're not allowed to hate me."

Decent people don't trap people in cycles like this. Decent people treat others with kindness so people wouldn't have any reason to hate them.

i love characters who do the “i worship the myth i make of you” and in turn dehumanize and get wrong the object of their devotion and love. yes project a thing that does not exist onto a pedestal and kneel at it like it is your altar. this will surely not blow up in both of your faces eventually

It's really funny to see a sci-fi versus debate where someone's like "Well, this franchise's ships are 10 times the size of that franchise's ships, so that franchise has no chance whatsoever" and the latter franchise is an anime where ships carry guns that shoot antimatter and the former pretends to be somewhat grounded and doesn't have antimatter weapons.

Size matters not, indeed.
