#Vulkan Lives

[kit-williams]

Warhammer 40k & D&D AU

Initial post VULKAN LIVES STOMP STOMP

Vulkan will go by Vulkan Nocturne also known as the Great Smith Vulkan

Vulkan doesn't do too much out of the ordinary when travelling with his brothers, getting a portable forge, and making things is what he does so it's not too out of the ordinary for Vulkan

When he splits off from his brothers he is captured by the Drow

Of course this enrages Vulkan but he discovers the people he is in captivity with are a whole tribe of orcs and they speak of their chieftan with awe but worry.

Vulkan frees himself and the orcs as he rampages through the slave holding area freeing humans and working his way to the temple of lolth. There he found the chieftess and freed her.

Vulkan tried his best to get everyone out of there alive but there were many casualties

He collapsed the cave entrance they ran out of to buy themselves time to escape the drow.

Eventually the humans split off and Vulkan accompanied the orc tribe back to their home territory

Chieftess Ulna was rather frustrated about something just saying the Drow had cursed her with some sort of magic but once they returned home she would be able to fix it all.

Vulkan endeared himself to Ulna; he wasn't the most comfortable with Orcs as most of the brothers were still rather xenophobic but for many of them it was a lot easier for the humanoid races to just think of them as abhumans; I mean they could also interbreed so they had to have some common ancestor or relative, right?

But he continued to integrate himself with the tribe enjoying the company and being useful in making gear and weapons for them as they talked about their neighbors but Chieftess Ulna was the strongest and would protect them; he found their unwavering belief in Ulna akin to how his sons just utterly believed in him

When they returned to the territory, Vulkan was an honorary member of the tribe and Ulna had him follow her to claim a reward and then he could depart; Vulkan was a little hurt in remembering his promise to only lead them to their destination and leaving but he felt like her was back home and would talk to Ulna to change this.

They got to a cave full of gold, suits of armor, weapons, and countless magic items laid about as Vulkan looked around as Ulna was grabbing something.

Him and his brothers had yet to actually fight a dragon but this cave was suspiciously like how they were told what a lair was like.

'You know Vulkan... you were a pleasent company so you will be rewarded. I will let you know my name.' Ulna said sighing in relief as the magic rolled over her breaking the seal the Drow placed on her. 'My name is Migheth' Vulkan looked to Ulna now Migheth as he was certain that was the name of a powerful female red dragon. He watched her walk with a new sway in her hips that he did appreciate but Vulkan knew something was wrong... she walked behind a pillar and what walked out on the other side was a lumbering Dragoness. She sighed finally in her own skin again as she laid on her hoard, 'I will give you one gift for your service. The luxury of giving me a half dragon.'

Either Vulkan tricks her into being her husband till he dies or some other way but Migheth finds herself endeared to the smith and doesn't want to give him up.

They have a half dragoness named Ember Nocturne; she doesn't realize she is a half dragon and takes up a normal appearance as a half orc.

Migheth is close to being an Ancient Red Dragoness so she has some quirks about her and she is in the mood of just being seen as an Orc

Jon's Author Diary - August 25, 2023 #amwriting

Hello from sunny Morecambe! Last week, I found myself overwhelmed by too many open projects, a struggle I shared with you all. But then, as if by some cosmic joke, inspiration struck and I started a new project—a space opera with fantasy elements, set in the far future of my existing universe. I outlined a trilogy and even wrote the first draft of a novella. The words flowed and new worlds…

[funboxsupreme]

I like John Grammaticus as a character (not as much as others granted, but I enjoy his storyline and it’s concepts nonetheless) but there’s been a recent hate wave towards him that seems to focus on hating a character that just doesn’t exist

[saysthenightingale]

should the salamanders change their battle cry to this

Vulkan laughs

But most importantly...

Vulkan Loves

[thethronezone]

Primarchs and if they know how to cook

Mortarion - Knows how to cook one thing and one thing only but goddamn if that shit ain't tasty as hell.

Fulgrim - Yes but with his demand of perfection he runs the kitchen like Gordon Ramsey.

Angron - Kinda? Knows the basics but haven't cooked anything ever since the nails were put in his skull so he's rusty.

Magnus - It's 50/50. Experiments in the kitchen so either he creates a delicious meal or a crime against humanity.

Perturabo - He's never cooked before but if he did it would be a meal worthy of a 5-star restaurant.

Alpharius - Decent chef, all things considered. Nothing too outstanding but not bad either.

Lorgar - He wanted to learn when he was younger but Kor Phaeron didn't allow it. Liked to watch the kitchenstaff work.

Horus - Absolutely not. This man used to be a gangster before the Emperor found him and afterwards he had serfs to do it.

Konrad - Surprisingly, yes. But, like, Hannibal Lecter style. Full on "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti".

Sanguinius - Knows how to cook but surprisingly enough, not that good at it. Tends to use too much salt.

Corvus - Man tries but it always turns into gray gruel somehow. It tastes like sadness and disappointment.

Ferrus - Simple meals packed with nutrition but nothing special tastewise. Would own an airfryer but never use it.

Vulkan - Yes! Regularly cooks for his friends and family. Makes really good stews and soups.

Lion - No. Ate everything raw when he lived in the forests of Caliban and afterwards he just never saw the point in knowing.

Leman - Only knows how to cook meat and even then it always turns out rare and bloody in the middle.

Jaghatai - Knows how to cook and honestly pretty decent at it. Really good at making bread.

Roboute - Not the best but also not the worst. Knows how to make a few dishes, pretty standard stuff.

Rogal -

Hammer Blow

"You’re a monster," I breathed, eyes wide with the horror of it. "Tell me something I don’t know," he hissed. Meeting his madman’s gaze, I decided to oblige him. "You’re right," I conceded, holding up Dawnbringer so he could see it. "I fashioned it as a teleporter, a means to escape even a prison such as this. I counted on you leading me here, on you needing to face me one last time. It seems I was fooled into thinking you hadn’t planned for this." I lowered the weapon and let the weight of its head pull the haft down until my hand was wrapped around the very end of the grip. "But you’re forgetting one thing…" Curze leaned in, as if eager to hear my words. He believed that he had me, that I would never escape his trap. He was wrong. "What’s that, brother?" "It’s also a hammer." The blow caught him across the chin, a savage upswing that took Curze off his feet and put him on the ground again with the sheer force of the impact. -Vulkan Lives, by Nick Kyme

Requests open? Right as I start noticing there isn't much fic for Dorn? Emperor preserve me.

Rogal Dorn being the big protector he is would NOT allow any space between him and his partner while they're having sex. I mean he's just holding onto them for dear life. Front to back, front to front, front to side, no matter what he's just got a bear hold on them so they can't even think about doing anything but taking it. Same when they sleep. He's the safest place for them and he fucking knows it. When in public it's hands off but the second that door shuts to their room, reader isn't going anywhere.

(ps love your writing, it's so good and I look forward to more of your work! \(´∀｀)/)

Rogal Dorn is clingy as FUCK.

His love language? Touch.

All touch. Constant touch. All the time.

He’s always got a hand on you, half the time without even noticing.

Walk past him? Hand on your waist or shoulder.

Stand too close? Fingers brushing gently along your back, just low enough that no one else sees.

Feeling bored while he’s working? Congratulations, you’re now sitting on his lap. That’s just your spot.

The thing is: he just really, really likes you.

He never actually wants to be apart from you if he can help it.

Even in public, he slips sometimes - showing affection a little too openly.

It's never vulgar or obscene, but the look on people’s faces when they realize that cold, emotionless Rogal Dorn is actually a loving man is priceless.

They’re used to a stoic slab of ceramite, not a man who visibly melts when you so much as glance at him.

He’s easily one of the clingiest among his brothers.

His only real rivals in that department are Russ, Vulkan, and don't ask Curze.

(Yes, Curze can and will latch onto you like a bat onto a cave wall. It’s terrifying, and weirdly adorable)

But Dorn’s clinginess?

It really shines in bed.

When you're having sex, he’s always holding you.

Not just touching - actually holding, clinging, like you might slip away if he lets go for even a second.

He loves positions where he can keep eye contact.

For him, sex isn’t just a physical need (even though, spoiler alert, his sex drive is high) it’s something sacred.

A way to feel close to you. A way to tell you over and over again how much he loves you — without even needing words. Another opportunity to express his deep feelings.

And when you're sleeping?

You have two options:

1. You’re lying on his broad chest, his arms heavy around your waist or hips.

(His morning wood? Sometimes it’s not just because of the morning. Hehe.

2. You’re the little spoon.

He's curled up behind you like you're the only warm, soft, living thing left in the galaxy.

Because you are. To him, you are.

You’re the dog. Dorn is the burr stuck to your fur.

There is no escape. Nor should there be.

As much as the Imperium sucks admit you wanted to die when you woke up and saw it's state. It is sadly still the best shot for mankind sooo

I must do a census.

[candyswirls]

Where I live there a tradition of child intheir birthdays giving the first piece of cake for someone they really like (it can friends , family , someone tried giving to a pet once) . If there the same tradition in the little primarchs universe , who is going to recieve the child primarchs first slice of cake?

Roboute (Specifically toddler!Roboute) - he's giving it to Perturabo. That child is obsessed with his older brother and absolutely loves him to everyone else's utter confusion. Perturabo is sitting there smugly as his baby brother insists he have that first slice.

Lion - he's giving it to Luther as he is a father figure to him. He won't tell him directly, though. He tells someone else, and they announce it

Fulgrim - Captain Kaesoron. He's been very understanding and hands-on, with Fulgrim being turned into a child. He shows him all the art and music the remembrancers have been commemorating. He also brings him to the concerts on the ship.

Perturabo - he gives his piece to the female serf that helps clean his room. She's always nice to him and quiet. She brings him scraps of metal she's found.

Ferrus - Gabriel Santor has been working hard and deserves it. It's not easy when your primarch has been turned into a kid.

Jaghatai - his horse. He insisted they be at the party and gave them the slice. Because they're such a good horse and they've never had cake before.

Leman - he's giving it to Geri and Freki to share. He also will let them lick the frosting off his fingers and cheeks when he's done.

Dorn - his grandpa. He loves that man. He'd want to eat his own slice with him.

Konrad - toddler Konrad is giving it to Vulkan because he's his personal space heater. He will want to be held as Vulkan eats the slice.

Sanguinius - Malcador and him have been bonding a lot. He doesn't treat him differently for his wings or being a primarch.

Angron - he starts crying because there's too many people that deserve it. He settles on the oldest serf.

Mortarion - Valdor. He's become oddly attached and wanted him to partake.

Magnus - the librarian. They're always very happy to see him and willing to help him find certain books.

Horus - he wants his mournival to share it. He made sure it was a big slice. He's jumping up and down as it's presented.

Lorgar - the Emperor. He's so excited and happy as he hands him the piece. In this AU, the emperor will smile and hold Lorgar on his lap as he takes the first bite.

Vulkan - his forge. Because it only ever eats wood and coal. He's giggling so hard he's on the floor as a salamander dramatically feeds it to the forge

Corvus - Nasturi, one of the first people he met after landing on his homeworld. He's always been close to her

Alpharius/Omegon - they each have their own cake and are giggling as they give it to one another.

How to run The Sims 3 with DXVK & Reshade (Direct3D 9.0c)

Today I am going to show you guys how to install Reshade and use Direct3D 9.0c (D3D9) instead of Vulkan as rendering API.

This tutorial is based on @nornities and @desiree-uk's awesome guide on "How to use DXVK with The Sims 3", with the goal of increasing compatibility between DXVK and Reshade. For users not interested in using Reshade, you may skip this tutorial.

If you followed nornities and desiree-uk's guide, it is strongly recommended that you start from scratch, meaning you should uninstall DXVK AND Reshade completely. Believe me when I say this: it will save you a lot of time, frustration, and make your life so much easier.

For the purpose of this tutorial, I am on patch 1.69.47 and running EA App on Windows 10, but it should work for version 1.67.2 on Steam and discs, too. This tutorial does not cover GShade.

Before we start

Backup your files, even the entire folder (Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 3\Game\Bin) if you want to be extra safe; you will thank yourself later. If you do not wish to backup the entire folder, at least backup the following:

reshade-presets

reshade-shaders

Reshade.ini

Options.ini (Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3)

Keep them somewhere secure, for your peace of mind (and sanity).

Done? Great stuff, let us begin!

Step 1:

If you installed DXVK following nornite and desiree-uk's guide, go to the bin folder and delete the following files to fully uninstall DXVK, we are starting from scratch:

d3d9.dll

TS3.dxvk-cache

dxvk.conf

TS3_d3d9.log (or TS3W_d3d9.log)

Step 2:

If you already have Reshade on your PC, uninstall it using this: https://reshade.me/downloads/ReShade_Setup_X.X.X.exe (replace X.X.X with version number)

Step 3:

Perform a clean install of Reshade (I am using the latest version - 6.4.1 at the time of writing). Please note that you need a version no older than 4.5.0 or this method will not work. Choose DirectX9, click next.

Once the installation is complete, you should see a "d3d9.dll" file inside The Sims 3's bin folder (Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 3\Game\Bin):

It may all seem familiar thus far. Indeed, this is how we installed Reshade in the past before using DXVK, but here comes the tricky part:

Step 4:

Create a new folder outside of The Sims 3's game folder (I created it on my C drive), name it "dxvk" or whatever else you like. Remember where you saved this folder, we will return to it later.

Step 5:

Now we need Reshade to load the next dll in order to chain Reshade with DXVK. Click on the search bar, and type in "View advanced system settings".

Click on "Environment Variables..."

Under "User variables", click "New..."

In the new pop-up window, find "Variable name:" and type in:

RESHADE_MODULE_PATH_OVERRIDE

for "Variable value:", paste in the directory that leads to the folder we created earlier. Once you are done, hit OK, and then hit OK again to save the changes made.

You can use Command Prompt to check if this new environment variable has been registered by entering:

echo %RESHADE_MODULE_PATH_OVERRIDE%

It should return you the folder's location. If not, make sure you have typed in the variable name correctly and confirm the folder's location.

Step 6:

Download DXVK (version 2.3.1) from here: https://github.com/doitsujin/DXVK/releases/tag/v2.3.1 and unzip "dxvk-2.3.1.tar.gz" (I use 7-Zip, but winRAR works, too). Remember to choose x32, and move only "d3d9.dll" to the folder we made earlier.

Now we have two "d3d9.dll" files, one from Reshade (lives in the bin folder), and the other from DXVK (in this new folder, outside of The Sims 3 game folder).

Step 7:

Download "dxvk.conf" here: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/blob/master/dxvk.conf delete everything inside, and enter the following:

d3d9.textureMemory = 1 d3d9.presentInterval = 1 d3d9.maxFrameRate = 60 dxvk.hud = devinfo

Ctrl + S to save the document.

The first 3 lines are taken from @nornities and @desiree-uk's guide.

The last line is only for debugging purposes. Due to the inconvenient location occupied by the HUD (top left corner of your screen), it should be removed once the installation is successful.

Step 8:

Drag "dxvk.conf" into the bin folder, where Reshade's "d3d9.dll", "TS3.exe", and "TS3W.exe" all live.

Step 9:

Now fire up the game and check if both are showing up:

Lastly, check for “TS3.dxvk-cache” in the bin folder:

If it is there, congratulations! You have successfully installed DXVK and Reshade utilising D3D9 as API! You can now go to "dxvk.conf" and remove its last line "dxvk.hud = devinfo" and have fun! :)

Hope this tutorial isn't too confusing, the last thing I want is to over-complicate things. If you still need some help, comment down below or send me a DM/ask, I'll try and troubleshoot with you to the best of my ability.

Извержение вулкана Килауэа: встреча двух стихий.

Вулкан Килауэа находится на Большом острове Гавайского архипелага и занимает почти 14% его территории.Килауэа - самый молодой из наземных гавайских вулканов (США) и один из самых активных действующих вулканов на Земле. Высота Килауэа - 1247 метров над уровнем моря, его основание уходит на дно Тихого океана на глубину около 5 км.  

Последнее извержение Килауэа было в 1983 году и продолжается по настоящее время. Килауэа считается местом обитания Пеле — гавайской богини вулканов. По ее имени названы некоторые лавовые образования, например, «слезы Пеле» (маленькие капли лавы, которые студятся на воздухе и принимают фигуру слезы) и «волосы Пеле» (тонкие нити вулканического стекла обсидиана, возникающие в итоге быстрого остывания лавы при стекании в океан).

Профессиональная спортсменка Элисон Тил стала первой девушкой, решившей устроить экстремальный серфинг возле извергающегося вулкана. Бурлящие потоки лавы стекают прямо в океан, в то самое место, где и решила поплавать спортсменка. Тут стоит быть предельно осторожным и оставаться на чеку, ведь скорость, с которой движется раскаленная лава, может составлять несколько метров в секунду, а температура ее колеблется в районе 500–1200° C — этого с лихвой хватит, чтобы моментально свариться заживо.

За Килауэа круглосуточно наблюдают десятки специалистов со всего мира. На кадрах с Гавайев – огненные потоки лавы стекают со склонов вулкана прямо в Тихий океан. По утверждению ученых, при контакте раскаленной субстанции и воды брызги лавы взлетают на десятки метров. Удивительное природное явление привлекает к вулкану Килауэа туристов, которые желают увидеть столкновение стихий вживую. Однако геологи не рекомендуют приближаться к вулкану, поскольку тот может оказаться непредсказуемым.

Kilauea Volcano Eruption: A Meeting of Two Elements.

Kilauea Volcano is located on the Big Island of the Hawaiian archipelago and occupies almost 14% of its territory. Kilauea is the youngest of the Hawaiian land volcanoes (USA) and one of the most active volcanoes on Earth. Kilauea is 1,247 meters above sea level, its base goes to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean to a depth of about 5 km.

The last eruption of Kilauea was in 1983 and continues to this day. Kilauea is considered the home of Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes. Some lava formations are named after her, for example, "Pele's tears" (small drops of lava that cool in the air and take the shape of a tear) and "Pele's hair" (thin threads of volcanic obsidian glass that appear as a result of the rapid cooling of lava as it flows into the ocean).

Professional athlete Alison Teel became the first girl to try extreme surfing near an erupting volcano. Bubbling lava flows straight into the ocean, the very place where the athlete decided to swim. Here you should be extremely careful and stay on guard, because the speed at which the hot lava moves can be several meters per second, and its temperature fluctuates around 500–1200° C — this is more than enough to instantly boil alive.

Kilauea is monitored around the clock by dozens of specialists from all over the world. In the footage from Hawaii, fiery lava flows flow from the slopes of the volcano straight into the Pacific Ocean. According to scientists, when the hot substance comes into contact with water, splashes of lava fly up tens of meters. An amazing natural phenomenon attracts tourists to the Kilauea volcano who want to see the clash of the elements live. However, geologists do not recommend approaching the volcano, as it may prove unpredictable.

40k Sfw Alphabet - Robute Guilliman

Here it is! We've finally reach big blue boy Bobby G himself!

Apologies for spelling and grammar errors that inevitably slipped past my eye.

Hope you guys enjoy!

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Robute is super affectionate, and his primary ways of expressing and receiving it are physical touch and loving words. Every interaction he ends with a kiss followed by a quick, muttered "love you." If you are in arms reach, he always wants to have a hand on you or an arm around you. He just wants to be near you, all the time. Some might call him clingy for it, but I call him adorable.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

Robute would be the most reliable homeboy you could ever ask for. He's the kinda friend who would pick you up from the airport or help you move house. But he's also the friend that you need to do welfare checks on regularly, because he cannot do self care for the life of him (it's the workaholic thing).

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Robute loves cuddling. Physical touch is one of his primary love languages, both giving and receiving. It makes him feel loved, safe and removed from the stresses of his everyday life/work. He'll cuddle any which way-- so long as you're nice and close he's a happy man. But despite being so much bigger than you, he likes being a little spoon. He likes it a lot, actually.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Absolutely. It's literally canon that after the war was done, Robute wanted to settle down on a nice little farm and live out his live in peaceful simplicity. The only thing that would make that dream better would be sharing it with you.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

Far as 40k characters go, breaking up with Robute would be pretty tame. Tears would be shed, angry words maybe exchanged, but in the aftermath he isn't going to stalk you, watch over you or anything deranged like that (looking at you, Sanguinius and Sevetar).

He would also eventually move on from you, but it wouldn't be without heartache. It'd be the little, everyday reminders that trip him up. Like hearing your favourite song, or seeing a book on his shelf that you'd gifted to him once, or visiting the place you shared your first kiss. Things like that will make his breath hitch and his chest suddenly ache.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

Robute is very keen on marriage and commitment. But your wedding, he would want to keep a lowkey, private affair. Just your family and his handful of most trusted friends as attendees (and Lion, if he's around), held in a Fortress of Hera that's been closed off from the public for the day. Robute wouldn't want politics or public affairs sullying this day: he wants it to only be about you and him, about your love. That's it.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

Robute is the third most gentle Primarch after Vulkan and Sanguinius imo. Again, you can thank his normal upbringing and loving parents for that. He comforts you with hugs and kisses if you are upset. He cares for you when you are unwell. He treats with such delicateness and tenderness that a lot of the time, you feel like a princess.

He's also hyper aware of his size and strength compared to you, so whenever he's touching you, he's always super soft and careful.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

Robute loves hugs. Aside from using words, they are is primary way of showing you affection. He crouches on one knee, envelopes you in his enormous arms and holds you right up against his chest. He also likes having you sitting on his lap while he's behind his desk, where he can casually hold you from behind as he works.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

As far as the Primarchs go, I can see Robute being faster than most in using the L word. Like, a normal amount of time you might expect from a relationship IRL (which, by Primarch standards, is lightning quick). Amazing what growing up on a normal planet with actual parents can do for a man lol.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

Robute is definitely one of the more emotional mature and self assured of the Primarchs. As such, he's one of the least jealous. The only way he might get jealous is if someone like Sanguinius or Fulgrim were to be particularly physically affectionate towards you. Then, the next time you two are alone, he's going to... shall we say, ravish you, to reassert just which of his brothers you chose to make your lover... and why.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

Robute is an absolute sucker for neck kisses. Giving them, receiving them, you name it. He loves the intimacy of it, but also the vulnerability. To expose his throat to you, to let you kiss, nip and bite the one of the most sensitive, vulnerable parts of him, and for you to allow him that same privilege... He loves it.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

Not great, but not terrible. Robute can manage with entertaining children, but he doesn't necessarily enjoy it the way, say, Vulkan might. I could see him wanting to be a Dad someday, though. All part of his desire for a domestic life.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

Robute is not a morning person. At all. He just wants to stay in bed with you all day-- away from the stress of the regent position, safe and relaxed in your arms. But alas, that is just not possible.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

You're lucky if you're still awake by the time Robute makes it to bed, man is so drowned in his work (though frankly it's his fault, he doesn't ever think to give himself a break).

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

Robute is fairly open about himself as far as Primarchs go. He hasn't many skeletons in his closet compared to some of his brothers, and those that he does have, he's mature enough, and trusts you enough, to be able to talk about them with you.

The one thing he wouldn't be open about, though, is issues regarding his work. He doesn't want to burden you with such things. Even if it sharing those burdens might be better for his own mental health and help alleviate your worries about it.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

Take one look at this man's job description, and you know he's got the patience of a saint. Most of the time, at least. When Robute is particularly stressed, frustrated or exhausted, it cuts his temper in half. He knows this, however, and he does his best to be mindful of it when he comes home to you. But it doesn't always work: sometimes he will be prone to snap.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

Robute remembers all the important things about you: your favourite hobbies and things, your birthday, the names and birthdays of all your friends and family, that kind of thing. But tiny little details, he doesn't remember so much.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

You gifted him a book once. It wasn't for any occasion, you just saw it one day, thought he would like it and decided to purchase it for him. Little did you (or the seller, for that matter) know, this book is a copy of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare. Robute couldn't believe his eyes. Frankly, he still can't. But he'll never forget the almost blasé way you offered it to him, then the confusion on your face when you saw the utter shock, joy and gratitude on his.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

Protectiveness is a common trait shared by all the Primarchs, and Robute is no different. You are kept out of the public eye wherever and whenever possible. And when you do venture into public you've got a personal guard of Ultramarines assigned to your person-- most of whom come from the same company as those who make up Marneus Calgar's honour guard.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

Robute is a man of words and physical affections: acts of service aren't really his love language. Also, his work means he rarely has time for things like dates, gift-buying and such. Large occasions however, like your birthday or your relationship's anniversary, he will carve out time for. If that means delegating to Calgar, Sicarious or the Lion for a day or two, then so be it.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

The obvious one is that he's a workaholic. Which is, like... Duh. This is Robute Guilliman. He's know for two things: his funny name and his stressed-out-workaholic-energy. As his significant other, it's often hard to pin him down for quality time. Or even to get him to give you attention. Takes a lot of patience and dogged determination on your part. Sometimes, you have to resort to sweeping into his office and kicking your feet up, giving him no choice but to put the parchment down and pay attention to you.

Another flaw I propose of Robute's is a slight arrogant streak. A his-way-or-the-highway type beat. It comes from his personality, but also his intelligence. Robute is used to being the smartest person in the room. He's used to being right. And while he never does it intentionally, it can result in him behaving a little stubbornly and a little arrogantly during arguments or disagreements. As soon as you point it out, though, he's immediately bashful. He apologises profusely, cheeks flushing in embarrassment, cursing himself for treating you so.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

Robute isn't vain at all, but he does take pride in his appearance. Considering his background and his current status as Imperial Regent, it makes a lot of sense. He shaves everyday, always has his hair well-kept, and even when he's hanging around home with you, he somehow manages to look just as immaculate in casual robes as he does his ceremonial dress. The last part isn't even on purpose; Robute is just that classy.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

While I think Robute could eventually move on from you if you were to leave him (be it through death or a break up), deep down he would always feel incomplete without you. Like there was a little hole in his heart that shrinks with time, but never fills in completely ever again.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

Even though they don't happen often, Robute loves date nights. Particularly, he loves taking you to the theatre. Plays, musical performances, everything in between. This stuff is his passion, and so rarely does he get the opportunity to share it with anyone. While attending shows, he's always glancing your way, anxious to know if you are enjoying yourself. And of course, you are. Even if such things as theatre shows aren't your thing, the simple fact that Robute is so obviously happy and that he is finally out of that damned office!

Also, bonus headcanon!

He loves it when you call him "Robu."

Nothing further, your honour.

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

Robute needs someone who can be patience with him. He needs someone with little ego and a lot of chilled-out energy. Thus, the opposite of these things are things he would not like in a partner.

(Funnily enough, sounds an awful lot like he wouldn't like being with someone who was too similar to himself. He and Perty share that in common.)

Z = Zzz (What is are sleep habits of theirs?)

Poor Robute. A 3rd year university student in the midst of studying for their mid terms would have a healthier sleep schedule. There's just so much to do, so much to worry about. And because of Robute's personality, he just cannot switch his brain off from these things.

I genuinely think he would benefit SO greatly from some meditation/mindfulness exercises before bed. And you might be the one to suggest them, or even guide him through them. He would drag himself to bed, utterly exhausted, yet his mind still spinning with concerns and to-be-completed tasks. You would curl up against his side, tell him to stop and close his eyes. Then, you'd rest your palm on his belly, tell him to breathe into your hand and just focus on the sound of your voice. It wouldn't be long after that until Robute falls asleep. And in the morning, the first thing he will say to you is thank you. Ever since being with you, he has never slept better in his life.
