Round My Way, Getting Off The Bus You Thank The Driver. "Cheers, Drive". It's Such A Cultural Keystone

designislaw:

So my Tumblr has today been mostly arguing with idiots, and the feminism tag on twitter has been filled with a lot of garbage recently. I apologize, and I thought I’d offer something a little more positive. Something refreshing, just, something that honestly surprised me today. It was nice to...

Further lore-accurate facts:

Gura is 9000 years old in 2025, so clearly doesn't age and tends to not die - in 40k terms, she's a "Perpetual".

Also, she's nearly as old as the Emperor (estimated creation ~8000bce), only about a thousand years between them.

You're ready to hear some heresy?

I'm fairly new to Warhammer 40k, and I just learned about Carcharodons literally a few minutes ago. And as I learned that they are a shark legion and that their origin and primarch are not confirmed I made the ultimate joke that shall now become canon in our ttrpg club.

They do indeed have their own primarch. The one that was considered disappeared and erased from history. The 2nd Primarch, the one that Emperor himself has kept a secret from all of his other children in fear that they will turn to heresy if they as much as lay their eyes upon that horrifying creature

The only daughter of the Emperor, the mother of Carcharodons...

Gawr Gura

Emperor has always kept her a secret from the entire Imperium in fear that all of his sons and Imperial citizens will start worshipping her instead of her.

And while other Primarchs were scattered around the galaxy by their mother, Gura has been yeeted into the farthest end of the galaxy by the Emperor himself just because he knew she'd be far more beloved and worshipped than him and couldn't possibly have that

I'm reminded that one of the first lessons I learned as a forum moderator in the early 00's was "some people only want to know who the targets are". Doesn't matter if the rules are "don't be a dick", seventeen pages of legalese, or anything inbetween: there are always folk who really, really want to hurt someone. When told to stop they just want to know "if I can't hurt them, then who am I allowed to hurt? Must be someone, surely."

Sometimes I stumble across a particular species of queer discourse post on this site and I get a vivid mental image of the OP paging through an enormous rulebook with furrowed brow muttering "come on, there must be someone I'm allowed to be homophobic to".

call me ignorant but i genuinely don’t understand why sports have to be split up by gender.

One day I'll actually play these, rather than just listen to the OST on repeat!

Welcome. Welcome to Tumblr.

You have chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to one of our finest remaining social networking websites. I thought so much of Tumblr that I elected to establish my Administration here, in the Citadel so thoughtfully provided by Our Benefactors. I have been proud to call Tumblr my home. And so, whether you are here to stay, or passing through on your way to parts unknown, welcome to Tumblr. It’s safer here.

I'm hyperventilating

3D remake coming 2025

Same energy as "Betty Boop was the original vSinger".

reading an academic paper about Dark Souls that casually mentions "environmental storytelling, which was first pioneered by amusement parks," hits exactly the same as when i went on the wikipedia page for Gorillaz and the linked page for "virtual band" casually mentioned that the concept was pioneered by Alvin and the Chipmunks. truly we stand on the shoulders of giants
