Various Ramblings

The ramblings and reblogging of a fic writer and fantasy enthusiast. Warhammer, Magic the Gathering, League of Legends and occasionally cats.

You know, if you let him have nice things, he might commit less crimes.

Maybe. Probably not.

Have a picture to celebrate the fact I've finished all five 40k Ahriman books! Some were better than others, but I do love this sad atrocity-committing space wizard very much.

For some reason, I've decided he has swirly space eyes. If you look too closely into them you see stars.

Krukos et Tyrios enjoying some time together~

And contrary to what people might think, it's not the nightlord who has the shortest fuse of the two of them, far from it XD

BTW i see these posts all the time like "ohhh i dont know what to comment on fics.." and every response is "keysmashes! or hearts!! anything works :3" and thats GREAT!! thats helpful!!

but: consider. if u genuinely like analyzing writing.. do u know ur just allowed to go through and quote your favorite parts and ramble abt what they mean to u and the author will LOSE IT WITH HYPE?

genuinely. i felt SO WEIRD the first time i did it.. but like. holy shit authors love it. its crack for authors. the first time i did it, it was on a fic that hadnt updated in half a year, give or take, and the author made 3 updates that month BECAUSE OF MY COMMENT.

LIKE. as an author every comment is INCREDIBLE!!! but also, dont feel like your comment has to be short or otherwise ur invasive or smth!! authors ADORE long comments more than ANYTHING.

for a long time i lived alone, but then i got a service dog. after a lot of training, the service dog came to live with me—except, the same day the trainers brought quincy, an orange tabby tomcat also showed up.

"you didn't tell us you had a cat!" said the trainers, both very upset (because they hadn't trained quincy to live with a cat).

"i don't have a cat," i said. "I don't know who this is."

the cat never went away. i named him poe dameron and he lived with me and quincy. they got along fine, in their own way.

we had our quiet adventures. poe was very cuddly but sometimes he just took off for a day or two. once he got into some paint.

after a while, i found out that poe dameron really lived across the alleyway, and belonged to my neighbor elizabeth's teenaged son, and his real name was PUMPKIN. but poe apparently didn't like the teenaged son (probably not least because he named him PUMPKIN), so he had come to live with us instead. elizabeth was fine with it.

the years went by and one day poe dameron crossed the rainbow bridge too soon. i took his ashes to elizabeth. we were very sad.

a few weeks later, she asked me to come over to see something.

it turned out that poe dameron had also lived with a THIRD lady, a few streets over. this lady, whom neither of us knew, was a painter, and she had made this painting of poe dameron. i don't know what she called him, but she painted him like one of your french girls.

"i think you should have it," elizabeth said, tactfully. "after all, he spent the most time with you." i was quite sure she just didn't want this hideous painting in her gabillion-dollar house, but i agreed.

the painting now hangs in the kitchen over my stove—not least because its brick-red frame matches my curtains. and because it delights me to see poe dameron every day, looking so fluffy and sultry, like an orientalist renaissance odalisque.

Everyone reblog consummate cabana boy moocher and orange cat extraordinaire Poe Dameron and his odalisque.

Anonymous asked:

oh doodle requests r open?? could we see your take on clone!fulgrim? or just anything fulgrim if you don’t really have an opinion on the clone yet :3

yes!! i work on them between work / whenever i do sketch pages!! tbh i haven't gotten into the clones + fabius stuff yet, but a few googles got me thinking!!!

Demongrim included just bcos he was thereee but, I usually draw Fulgrim w his big ole braid and a scar to match Ferrus' cleft lip - I think the clone's got loose hair (with some lil braids) and no scars!! dif piercings, just to differentiate :3c tysm!!

the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.

Damnation Sweeter than Memory - Chapter Two "Reunion"

Let there be two of them.

Summary:

Taken from the ruins of Tizca, Ahriman is forced to endure the 'interrogation' of the Space Wolves. Whilst their methods are largely ineffective, the loyalists have other ways to bring him to breaking point.

We're back with Demon!Ohrmuzd AU, with the first chapter detailing Ahriman's escape from the Space Wolves. As I said before, we'll be switching back and forth from present day Sortarius, to the twins' escape.

More spoilery commentary under the cut!

Magnus after he warned Ahriman to not do the rubrics/mess with flesh change, but all 10000 warnings (even official edict that forbid Ahriman from doing the rubric in Thief of Revelations) are ignored and here we are

like father like son

Inspired by a discussion of art with Magnus. Well, yes, heredity is traceable, especially in Ahriman. As was rightly noted, "when one son is like a whole thousand" XD
