what nickname do you use most often for your pet?

a diminutive/cuter version of their name (Bear->Bear-Bear/Bearie)

their name but shortened (Newton->Newt)

a silly variation on their name (Aggie->Agapanthus/Aggiesaurus)

their name with a title/honorific (Madam Kosa the Stickchomper)

something unrelated to their actual name

something else

i call my pet their name

don’t have a pet/see results

all of the parenthetical examples are real nicknames that have been used for dogs that i know, for the record

Playing dressup with him again (who do you think gifted him this?)

Do you think Ferrus and Perturabo were friends? We have a canon answer:

Nope. And then he goes back to thinking about Fulgrim again.

I also enjoy the implication that Pert is utterly oblivious to whatever is going on.

Jonathan arrives to the castle late on may 5th.

He sleeps may 6th away.

On may 8th, after having spent less than 24h total in his host's presence, Jonathan realizes he is a prisonner, and immediately takes steps to ensure his survival. He is fully aware that he is in danger -though not quite what sort yet, is actively trying to save himself, recognizes the help of all the villagers who tried to save him, and has decided that he will survive this damn castle.

Jonathan Harker is not an oblivious idiot. Jonathan Harker took less than THREE DAYS to acknowledge the danger he is in, and start making plans to save himself. Jonathan Harker is a smart young man with a kind heart and the makings of a Final Girl and in this essay I will-

Guilliman trying to argue the semantics of his genesons with you becomes funnier if you take that one ask about space marines unknowingly copying your speech patterns and behaviours into account. Roboute's got an entire powerpoint presentation out detailing why technically due to this niche imperial law theres a loophole where he both you and him don't have custody over the astartes so-. But then an ultramarine barges into the room (speaking/gesturing like you, but looking like him, nobody would even bat an eye if you said that he was yours and Roboute's bio son). And so Guilliman is like, fuck, i guess i cant really argue about the semantics anymore, i guess i have to admit to just having a breeding kink don't i

Can't hide it Roboute, the odds aren't stacked in your favor. Hell, at least half of the primarchs probably have some secret breeding kink somewhere deep inside of them. Insert haha funny astartes referencing 'spreading my seed' joke here

absolutely loving that King Charles's first official portrait as king looks like he's in hell. A vision of the future much?

New Christian heresy idea: Jesus was supposed to be the Messiah, but he fucked up and got executed. Everything since then has been cope.

HE IS NOT THE MAN HE IS THE SUN really deserves to be the central phrase of some kind of 40K analogue horror story set on an isolated world whose local networks are gradually being overwhelmed by the approach of a particularly creepy Iron Warriors fleet that's sending out daemonic scrapcode and pict transmissions.

I thought I'd take a look at Ferrus's Primarch book and my goodness. I know I tend to exaggerate in these posts for comic effect but I can honestly say the Fulgrim/Ferrus tag on AO3 has less overt shipping content than this canon novel.

I've been a bit of a dick with the first screenshot because its context is Ferrus thinking about how defeat is a more effective teacher than victory but... I mean, come on. "Not even my bestie Fulgrim knows about my craving to be beaten," good lord. Is this deliberate? Are they messing with us? Madness.

👀

Hello, Black Library? Yeah, someone accidentally copypasted the summary for their 300,000 word Ferrgrim fic into your book.

Not even Fulgrim thinks this much about how great Fulgrim is. I mean what's he gonna do next, look at a III Legion marine and think about all the Fulgrim-like traits he has?

Oh for fuck's sake. Well surely other people won't start playing into it as well.

At this point it would be less overt for GW to release a model of them getting married with Ancient Rylanor officiating. Anyway later on Fulgrim himself actually turns up.

That's actually quite funny, in fairness.

And then we get a "we saw you from across the bar and we really dig your autistic vibe" moment just to round things off.

Statuesque, really? Of all the adjectives.

So, in summary, I went in expecting to take a few things out of context for a cheap laugh but I reckoned without Ferrus's own genuinely unstoppable need to think about Fulgrim at every possible opportunity.

The discovery represents a potential new way to recruit the immune system to fight treatment-resistant cancers using an iteration of mRNA technology and lipid nanoparticles, similar to COVID-19 vaccines, but with two key differences: use of a patient’s own tumor cells to create a personalized vaccine, and a newly engineered complex delivery mechanism within the vaccine.

Within 48 hours, the four human study participants showed remarkable results: their immune systems went into turbo cancer-destroying mode. And without surgery, radiation, or dangerous chemotherapy.

Folks, we may have a cure for cancer within your lifetime.
