there's something just...really compelling about franchise fiction that goes hard when it doesn't have to. The writers could have phoned it in! The writers could have warped it to be the thing they really want to write but can't because they need the money from this!

BUT THEY DIDN'T

to quote tumblr user visenyaisms, it's "viscerally compelling without being traditionally good". (sometimes it IS traditionally good. But a lot of the time it's not)

This is about superhero comics. This is about licensed comics. This is about Warhammer novels. This is about Star Wars novels.

but this is mainly about the Sengoku Basara anime series that aired in 2010.

i will defend that fictional teenage girl with my life. i literally don’t even care what she did. you would’ve done it too if you were her she’s probably handling things better than you would in her shoes

also incidentally made these because no I still haven't recovered from that Category Five Bluejay Reading Comprehension Failure

okay hilariously you know the post I made earlier today about Problematic Blorbos?

one of the incidents I was vagueing, I just now happened to for some forsaken reason forget why I don't go on [redacted] tumblr and was looking around and then i ran into the person who said the thing, saying the thing again to dunk on one Problematic Fave and talk up the other

I know this is extremely vague lmao anyways no??? a serial killer war criminal who goes after other war criminals (on both sides) because he feels like it's the only way he can expiate his guilt for the war crimes isn't a nazi hunter???

they are gathering again....

I've attracted an ominous sounding crowd

a question that comes to mind from McNeill's repeated describing of Ahriman's torso as "smooth" (oh wait some of that was French as well)

does he wax?

or possibly do all the Thousand Sons reshape themselves to have minimal body hair?

(note to self: should double check Khayon descriptions at some point)

uh oh but it looks like this slab has

sweating slab syndrome

Other dangers may include distracted remembrancer, distracted writer, using the word "sweat" three times in the same sentence, boy band breakup, and eventually...arm loss and general fandom mockery that can take years to become a discredited meme! But don't worry! Sweating Slab Syndrome can be cured if it is caught in time

Just call 1-800-TOTALLY-NOT-EREBUS to get your slab treated today!

(stay hydrated out there! and seriously, be careful if you're dealing with a lot of concrete in humid weather.)

Mournival in false gods but like a really bastardised version of them

[quietbluejay]

sometimes it's very annoying to have a Problematic Blorbo, as they say, because people will make up stuff that they did, or take what other characters said they did at face value and then you have to be like "no that isn't true!!" and it makes you look deranged because then people will go "you're defending this guy?? who did [actual crimes]". YES they did the actual crimes NO they didn't do the other crimes

and then there's the ones who go "yes they did the crimes but it was BASED because it was [thing it most definitely was not]"

[quietbluejay]

you know what i think it's time to bring back the slabaddon rewrite...perhaps tomorrow after I go grocery shopping...

so it was gonna be my reward for finishing A Thousand Sons but I'm taking forever due to various reasons so

Loken gets an entire verse spelling out what is happening to Horus and what’s to come and then goes “I’m not a poet what’s this mean” LOCK IN MAN
