#council of nikaea

[robot-roadtrip-rants]

"council of nikaea" are you fucking kidding me. a wholeass galaxy to choose from and you chose the place named nikaea. i see you, i see what you did there. this is dead serious business about the fate of the imperium and you're making millennia-old religion jokes. magnus and russ and mortarion are all screaming at each other, jaghatai's trying to calm everyone down, angron's fantasizing about killing everyone, and you, you're watching all this and sniggering to yourself over a joke maybe a dozen people in the galaxy would get. first a crusade, now this, just fucking rename terra romestantinople already and admit you've created a new religion. "council of nikaea" are you for real. erda and oll's eyes are gonna roll right out of their skull when they hear about this.

Magnus’ Hair Braids

Thinking about the bit in A Thousand Sons where it mentions Magnus had his hair pulled back into three braids for his appearance at Nikaea. Thinking about how this differs from his appearance any other time, and what that means.

Like, the other big event he attends in A Thousand Sons is the Triumph of Ullanor, and even for that huge big deal party the book doesn’t mention him getting his hair dolled up. And he doesn’t pull it back out of the way for battle or anything like that. (Probably it just magically doesn’t get in the way, I guess.)

Plus, besides the books, official art always depicts him with his hair out, flowing free from behind his, you know the face-helmet thing, what’s the proper word for it, I dunno. So in this context it stands out to me that he had his hair braided for Nikaea.

In the book, it sort of sets up this idea that Magnus is expecting Nikaea to be something like a scholarly conference, not a court trial. But even so, he would have known there were going to be people with some Strong Opinions about him and his embrace of psychic abilities and the power of the Great Ocean, etc etc

So I’m thinking about his braided hair as a symbolic gesture of sorts. Whereas usually he just goes around being unabashedly himself, in this case he is kind of making a show of restraint. It’s like the opposite of a threat display, but it’s not an act of submission. It’s more like when you hunker down to talk to a small animal that is scared of you.

Magnus is trying to reach out to an audience that is at best wary and in many cases hostile. He knows people are afraid of him. He can’t stop being himself but he can contain his silhouette so that he seems less wild and unpredictable. It’s a visual indicator of control and therefore safety. “See? I’m okay really.”

Council Of Nikaea

by Thibault Ollier

[atenea14]

A rough day. Sanguinius x reader

The events here happen before the Nikaea council. English is not my first language so there might be mistakes.

Warnings: Sex pollen, Dom!Sanguinius x sub!reader. Slight breath play, power play, bondage. 

Summary: A mission goes wrong ,as a result, Sanguinius and you end up affected by sex pollen.

Word count: 3k

You’ve been with the blood angels for a while now and you feel lucky, they are one of the few legions that are amicable towards their human crew which permitted you to easily demonstrate your abilities as an incredible psychic. Thanks to your powers you got to meet the higher ups within the legion including their beloved primarch and formed a good coworking bond with all of them. As the good war buddy you were, you went with them in some of their battles. That’s how you ended up in your current situation.

- Y/N you are required in the front line. - Dante approached you in a blink. 

- I thought the battle was done?- You are really fed up with the orcs so more fighting doesn’t suit your mood. 

- It is but Lord Sanguinius requires your help to quickly investigate the subterranean tunnels the orcs have made. Let’s go.- You just silently followed him through the tunnels until you got where Sanguinius was. 

- I’m glad to see you well Y/N.- Sanguinius greeted you, always well mannered, always perfect. 

- The sentiment is mutual, my lord.- You smiled at him waiting for his instructions. He smiled back before speaking again.

- There are some locked compartments and brute force won’t open them, I have no idea what the orcs made but I want you to try and open those parts of the tunnel.-

- I’ll do my best.- 

With that you got to work and managed to open the passages. Sanguinius and his men moved fast to investigate it all, but they didn’t find anything interesting at least under a human view. Within no time you arrived at the most hidden corner where you could see a small box. After some failed analisis and a discussion you were asked to force it open. When you did it a gas cloud exploded in your face, Sanguinius quickly covered you and embraced you, acting as a human shield, getting himself fully exposed to the unknown material. 

- I swear I can not stand those xenos, are you alright Y/N?- Sanguinius asked but you were too dumbfounded to immediately answer, you don’t get angel wings protecting you every day. 

- Y/N?- Sanguinius tried again. 

- I feel fine… I think.- Sanguinius examined your face and looked at Dante. 

- There are some vials left in the box, grab them and get them analyzed immediately, also escort Y/N to the red tear and get her to the medicae.- He turned to look at you once more. 

- I want to profusely apologize Y/N, this is my fault for wanting to rush things and not following the protocols.- You gave him a strained smile and told him it was ok, it’s not like you have it in you to accuse him when he looks at you with so much concern. 

- Just remember you have been exposed to it too my lord, please take care.- With a nod he gently pushed you towards the squadron who would accompany you. 

It’s already been an hour and you are waiting in the medical bay for someone to explain to you what have you been exposed to. You felt good so you were observing your surroundings when you heard the door open, to your surprise it was Dante. It cheered you up to see a familiar face so you eagerly greeted him but a feeling of uneasiness quickly invaded you once you registered his somber face. 

- Is it that bad?- You impatiently observed him sit down next to your bed. He looked directly into your face and he started speaking with a really soft voice. 

- Lord Sanguinius and you have been exposed to what we… have vulgarly called sex pollen.- He paused to let the information sink in but you just looked at him with a really confused expression.

- I don’t understand, I… feel good, maybe it doesn’t affect me?- Dante hold your hand with his.

- Your metabolism is slower than ours so you may not notice the effects now but you will soon. I’ll say it bluntly Y/N, you will feel an extreme need to have intimate relationships and the longer you don’t submit to it the more undesired chemical imbalance you will have on your body, we are working on an antidote but it will come late. On the other hand lord Sanguinius is already under the influence. What I’m about to ask you is not something I’m happy about.- You interrupted him. 

- I… wait a moment.- You used a couple of minutes to think about all the events that have involved you this day.- But Dante… I do not wish to… and if I did wouldn't that be considered heresy?.- You started rambling and the blood angel interrupted you to try to calm you a little bit.

- Y/N, whatever happens next won’t be your fault nor will be considered heresy given the circumstances plus all the matter is being confidential and only de indispensable people are aware of the situation.- You just looked at each other for what seemed an eternity until you broke the silence. 

- What happens if I refuse?- Dante took a deep sigh before answering. 

- Sanguinius' well-being will be in danger. I can’t tell you exactly why but the undesired chemical reactions I told you about may trigger some deeper problems in him. It won’t be your situation so at least you don’t need to worry about that.- Dante dropped all formalities and while that used to comfort you today it brought the opposite effect.

- Would it be that bad?- You put extra emphasis on the word that. Dante seemed to think about it for a moment before answering. 

- Look, no one here wants to force you to do anything, let alone Sanguinius. So I want to reiterate that anything will be your fault. But yes, it would be that bad.- He also put extra emphasis on the word.

- How is Sanguinius now?.-

- He is struggling to maintain control so being near him is not safe. That’s why I want you to have in mind before you answer that he may end up losing control and he surely will be rude.- You only had one question left before you answered. 

- What will happen to me if I try to fight the effects of the poison?.- 

- Since it’s a recently discovered substance I cannot give you any answer to that.- 

- I understand, I will do it.- Dante looked genuinely surprised.

- Are you sure?- You faintly smiled at him. 

- I’m already down the rabbit hole aren’t I? Plus Sanguinius is way more important than me so it only seems to be one correct answer.- Dante stared at you intensely. 

- Attach this to your wrist, the button is an alarm, if the situation goes south press it and I will interfere.- 

Dante gave you a reassuring squeeze to your hand and helped you get out of bed. In a moment you were left alone in front of Sanguinius' personal quarters. 

- My lord? Is Y/N, I am entering.- The room was dimly lit and Sanguinius looked upset. 

- You shouldn't be here, who brought you?.- You ignored his questions. 

- I have been explained the situation so I’ve come here voluntarily, my lord.- He looked troubled. 

- NO, Y/N. You have to leave. I don't have much restraint now.- He wasn’t looking in your direction. 

- I won’t, I’ve been told your health is at risk.-

- And what about yours? I could kill you.-

- You are more important than me plus sooner or later I will be feeling like you are right now.- 

- Y/N I…- You approached him and touched his arm. 

- It will be ok Sanguinius, I know you wouldn’t harm me.- 

Unknowingly you provoked him an electrical and addictive feeling with your touch making him lose all restrain left in him. Suddenly he picked you up and threw you into his bed making you gasp and igniting a spark in your body, all your nerves were on fire and your rational mind became foggy. You just wanted him, and he just wanted you. 

He kissed you while his hands roamed all over your body until they grabbed your hips. You returned the kiss with equal fervor and hung your legs around his body trying to have as much contact as you could. He went to kiss your neck and sunk his teeth a little bit, enough to get a couple of blood drops out of you but your pained hiss seemed to bring some focus to him. He paused for a moment and softly caressed all the parts of your body he could and started undressing you.

- Is not fair I’m the only one naked my lord.- 

- Then undress me.- 

You found yourselves fully naked and you climbed onto his lap kissing him fervently, he pulled your hair and it made you moan. You started moving your hips against him almost unconsciously and tried to push his chest so he was fully laid back on the bed. Instead he grabbed your waist and made you both roll, making you gasp. He pinned your wrist above your head with one of his hands while the other grabbed your face. 

-You are not the one in charge here darling.- 

He intensely looked into your eyes and the hand that was at your face went directly to your center, rubbing it in circles making close your eyes because of the sudden pleasure. 

- Look at me Y/N. Look me and tell me who do you belong to.- Between heavy breaths you answered.

- I belong to you.- He pinched your clitoris. 

- That’s not the proper answer Y/N.- You felt suffocated, you barely couldn’t move since your arms were held with one of his hands and the rest of your body was trapped under him. He entered one of his fingers in you, then another one making it really difficult for you to articulate any words. Sanguinius let go of your hands and grabbed your neck slightly restricting your air flow, you were in pure pleasure, your body was more sensitive than normal because of the pollen and Sanguinius was making you go crazy.

- I’ve asked you something.- He squeezed your neck a little bit more before releasing all the pressure allowing you to fully breath. 

- You, my lord. I belong to Lord Sanguinius.- 

- That's my girl.- With that he retired his hand off your clit and before you could whine he slowly started pushing his member into you making you see stars. You were sure your moans could be heard in the nearby hallways but you didn’t care at the moment and Sanguinus was enjoying them. 

- My lord it’s too much, I can’t.- You were overstimulated and Sanguinius was big, you didn’t think it would fit in. 

- Bear with it, it’ll bring you pleasure. I’m almost fully in.- You whimpered, the stretch was almost painful. He fully stopped once he was completely buried inside you, giving you a moment to adapt and he took that moment to caress you and squeeze your tits and pinch at your nipples making you lose focus on the stretch and allowing you to relax. 

- That’s it beautiful.- He started rocking his hips throwing you into a pleasure spiral, you were getting close and he noticed it. You embraced him while he started to fuck you faster, you were a moaning mess and when your started to clench at his member he roughly kissed you suffocating your moans while you were cumming. You were dumbfounded and were barely able to focus on anything else than your pleasure. He started touching your nub again overstimulating you while not relenting his pace. He was enjoying all your whines and whimpers and complaints about not being able to stand it but he was unforgiving. All your body was on fire and you started feeling a pleasure like never before. He bit you on your neck enjoying the ecstasis your blood gave him, the pain was enough to send you over the edge again and you squirted all over him while he came inside you. He slowed down his thrusts until you both came down from your highs and he slowly pulled out of you making you whimper. You looked at each other breathing heavily but none of you knew what to say. 

- Are you alright?- Sanguinius was the one who broke the silence. 

- Yes my lord.- He looked at you with an expression you didn’t know to decipher. 

- From now on just call me Sanguinius.- He spoke to you with a really soft voice. You nodded and he moved from above you getting out of the bed. 

- We should get ourselves cleaned, you can use my bathroom while I go talk with Dante.- He reached to touch you but stopped himself in the air, turned around grabbed his clothes and got out of the room.

You were left alone in his bedchambers a little bit confused. You wanted to bathe but everything in there was huge compared to you. Slowly, you moved to the edge of the bed and realized that all your body was sore. Once you made it to the bathroom you confirmed your thoughts, almost everything was out of your reach. The noise of a door opening startled you and you quickly turned around to see who entered. 

- It’s me Y/N.- 

- Sanguinius…- A rush of self awareness invaded you since you were still naked.

- Y/N… I’m sorry I…- Sanguinius was looking at your body and you knew he felt sorry for all the bruises he had caused.

- It’s okay, I just feel a little bit sore but that’s all.- He studied you for a couple of seconds. 

- Don’t you want to bathe? Do you wish to leave?- 

- I do want to bathe but everything here is out of my reach so I should leave to the common showers.- Sanguinius seemed troubled. 

- Or… I could help you if you wish.- 

- Sanguinius what happened today is none of our fault so you don’t need to compensate me.- 

- I am not, I just want to take care of you.- If he wasn’t a primarch you would have thought that he was looking at you with love, but it was Sanguinius after all and he is always compassionate so you just pushed your thoughts away and shyly nodded at him. Without thinking too much about it you stepped closer to him and to your surprise he picked you up and embraced you. You just stayed like that for a couple of minutes until he softly left you in the bath. The rest of the shower was spent in silence while you both tended to each other. Once you were done, Sanguinius helped you dry your hair. You stepped out of the bath before Sanguinius and realized that not only had the bed sheets been changed but also were clean clothes for you to use. A shame feeling invaded you making you feel really self conscious making you freeze in the middle of the room until warm arms embraced you. 

- Please do not feel bad, just one of my sons entered here and he already knew of the situation. No one will judge us.- Sanguinius' touch had a calming effect and his words comforted you. You timidly smiled at him and put your clothes on. The situation was kind of awkward so once you were done you just headed for the door. 

- Where are you going?- You froze in your tracks and turned back to look at him. 

- I… to my bed?- 

- Do you wish to be alone?- You didn’t comprehend why he was asking you that. 

- It’s not like I can stay here Sanguinius.- It was his turn to not understand you.

- Why not?- 

- It wouldn’t be proper.- Sanguinius faintly smiled.

- I think we are already past that point.- 

- But it wouldn’t be the same as before. We are not under the pollen influence anymore.- Sanguinius thought about it for a moment. 

- If you want to leave I won’t stop you but if you want to stay it will be okay too. Forget about everything. You owe it to yourself to do what you are comfortable with right now.- 

- I don’t want to be alone.- Sanguinius looked softly at you and smiled. He extended his hand and you walked to him, he picked you up and placed you on his bed. He lied beside you. With his words resonating in your head you found the courage to attach your body to his and hug him. He embraced you with his arms and kissed your head. Your breath slowed down and you fell asleep within minutes. The whole situation was confusing but you knew you’d be alright. 

On the other hand Sanguinius was worried, he was already infatuated with you but now there might be no coming back. You were his and his alone. With everything he had to do for the imperium he knew he owed it to himself to keep you under his wings.

We just don't do it like the Council of Nicaea anymore. (Nicaea, not Nikaea. I'm talking about Saint Nicholas getting so intense about the Trinity that he punched Arius in the face.)

Titus Prayto, Guilliman's chief psyker after Calth.

Have a psyjic Marine Meat Monday!

Titus stepped down from his Librarium-post after Nikaea, but was reinstated after Calth. He's in the Primarch's inner circle of advisors.

He also summoned Titus Prayto, a supervising centurion of the XIII Legion’s newly reinstated Librarius. After Calth, and the hellish losses inflicted on the XIII by psychic warfare and warpcraft, the Lord of Macragge had effectively repealed the Edict of Nikaea, which had stringently outlawed the use of psykers within the Legiones Astartes. The Edict had been the will of the Emperor, and had been enforced as such. However, the Lord of Macragge felt it had deprived his Legion of its most effective weapon at Calth. The repeal was his decision to make, and he made it with confidence. There were no brother primarchs to consult, no council to convene, no father to turn to. The Lord of Macragge, like the City of Macragge, stood alone in the night, besieged by storms that made communication impossible. The Lord of Macragge, Roboute Guilliman, was his own authority more than ever.

A Thousand Sons 5

Past the 50% mark! Hopefully I will not take another 4 posts to finish

-the narrative goes out of its way to talk up how cool and amazing Magnus is

Magnus brushed past, touching Lemuel’s shoulder, and the sheer joy of the contact swept any concerns away.

It went on in this vein for a bit.

Lemuel is able to notice Magnus is arrogant even through the primarch aura! wow that's some level of arrogance

-Mortarion is weird about the number seven. good for you babe, take your exactly 49 steps

-Magnus and Ahriman come off a lot more like teenagers than 200 year old sorcerers

-I also can't take seriously that they call Mortarion's scythe "his manreaper" -Mort indulges in some dramatics with his scythe, which continues to endear him to me

‘Now I do not accuse my brother of such barbarism, but no evil begins with such monstrous acts. If it did, no sane man would ever consider it. No, it begins slowly, a small step here, a small step there. By such acts is a man’s heart turned black and rotten. A man may begin with noble intentions, believing that such small trespasses are minor things compared to the good he will do at the end of his course, but every act matters, from the smallest to the greatest.

Great! Correct! Now apply that to your entire war of conquest!

I mean he's right in the abstract buuuut, what they miss is that they are none of them starting from a morally neutral position I'm trying to rally my thoughts on this speech given it's describing the entire imperium "you will become the means you employ" not to bring transformers into it i am ONCE AGAIN ASKING PEOPLE TO READ IDW 2019

Ahriman once again swoons this time from looking into Magnus' eye.

Magnus was every inch the gentleman polymath who never forgot himself, even as his enemies united against him.

[footage not found]. We. We literally just had a bit about him melting the stone around them because he was mad!

-then we get a 3 page retelling of Plato's shadows on the wall story with a changed ending, instead of an actual argument. it does kinda sell Magnus as not being able to understand other viewpoints and taking it for granted that everyone has the same value system as he does. but also. it was very annoying to read. I get that Magnus had to lose the council but. it would have been nice to for once in this book actually show that he's intelligent. -Magnus has a vision about the heresy and is like "okay we gotta go back to Prospero right now no time to explain". I see where Ahriman got his "not explaining anything" trait from

Sanguinius had ashen tears painted on his cheeks,

Given the prose I can't tell if Sanguinius just cries grey OR if he decided to go emo with his makeup

Okay. Nikaea over.

[horuslupercal]

Perturabo’s home planet being based off Ancient Greece is fine. But I think it would’ve been more fun if it was based off the Minoan Civilisation

I am saying this because I recently found out how detailed their palaces/city centres are. Imagining him constructing something like that rn

ngl when I think of the minoans I always think of their bangin fashion senses but yess the architecture is also so good and I love how colourful it is. have u seen the pic with the ceiling tiles? can't believe we got perturabo with his stupid little hazard stripes legion (affectionate) when he could have them in a great colour scheme

oh oh oh!! just to add some extra Whammy to this thought:

whenever magnus thinks about the council of nikaea, he thinks about the patterns on the walls. he spent a lot of time staring at them, trying to bite his tongue when it wasn't his turn to speak (not that he's ever been too good at waiting his turn, but you don't simply speak over the emperor). even though perturabo didn't build the chambers for that purpose, he didn't show up for his favourite brother and thinking about the council makes magnus think about the patterns and it still stings.

[sauridae]

that magnus at the council of nikaea art got me acting up

[divinacaptivus]

@magister-trazyrae

Lord Emperor, have you considered reviewing your decision at the Council of Nikaea? Whatever Magnus does now or did during the Heresy, I believe he had a point in saying that the Warp is not inherently evil.

"You are correct. It is not inherently evil. It is the realm of thought and memory, of pure irrational emotion given form. It is a wild beast nearly impossible to tame. Perhaps I made an error in judgement when I forbade seeking its power, but it is not one a particularly regret. Where as I have had thousands of lifetimes to master its currents, the remainder of human psykers do not have this luxury. I am a master sailor and they are fresh oarsmen in a storm. Humanity is not ready to harness the Sea of Souls, not yet. Mortalfolk have much to learn." @magister-trazyrae

Luna Lupercal

Luna Lupercal Class: Wizard Alignment: Neutral Good/True Neutral

Luna caused some controversy amongst the brothers

Sure Magnus' brood were all magical (Minus Zaheriah) but he was a Psyker; Mortarion married a magical creature; Martel was around devils so that must be why she has some magic; with Eve they were already familiar with godly intervention by that point.

With her being a wizard and all she did to unlock her magic was by study practically erupted in a second council of Nikaea

Lucky for them they were all on the same planet so they just had to wear their armor to communicate with each other; or well a part of their armor (Perturabo was working on something to help them get back into the armor)

Yes the fact that she could just learn how to wield magic made the brothers rethink a lot; another variable for them to understand with them being on this Plane

Luna herself typically wears a black and white robe with gold trim

Horus refuses to tell her about his home plane as her mother let it slip that her father is a planeswalker, Horus feels guilty about the mess and worries that should Luna ever step into the plane he is from... the 4 will snatch her from him. That is his deepest fear that the 4 chaos gods will somehow take her and use her as a conduit

She has inherited her father's unnatural charisma but isn't as skilled with words she clearly inherited his charming smile

Luna during her travels with the group as they are accomplished adventurers has earned the ire of a necromancer whom wants to turn her into an apprentice as she is safeguarding a powerful artifact that would enhance his necromantic powers or empower her and give her control of the undead.

She is her father's little princess and of course has had so much trouble with courtships as well she has 4 older brothers and a protective father

She is an accomplished wizard having learned the wish spell

[burdenedreverance]

The Council of Nikaea was a brutal thing.

Hayden was not particularly impressed by the arguments against the Psykers within the Emperor's fold. And yet the ruling was far too harsh against Magnus and the Thousand Sons. Being one of the few in The Luna Wolves with some Psyker experience, he was surprised when his gene-father had sent him on a special attaché mission to Prospero.

He wasn't sure if this was a means to remove him from the ranks of Luna Wolves or if he had some other beneficial motive. Whatever the reason it led to Hayden stepping foot on the homeworld of Magnus.

At the current moment, he was meeting with the Primarch in question.

"I am Desmond Hayden, Chief Librarian- er. Former Chief Librarian of the Luna Wolves. I was told to present myself to you, My Lady, so that you might find usage for me."

The words felt almost bitter leaving his mouth. This felt like an exile.

@crimsonqueenmagnus

[fuukonomiko]

So I’m reading the Council of Nikaea and I have the following statements to make....apologies for the foul language.

1. Fuck you Mortarion. Fuck you and your smelly, lame Astartes who couldn’t beat cavemen that wielded  magic. Sore ass loser. And where is your bony hinder now? Serving a Chaos God with acid breath. Your former father was a Psyker...and guess what? Your current gene father is a Psyker too. Wow. Did you see the irony of that? Because I can, and I'm nowhere near Primarch level. Now you're serving a WARP DEMON. AHAHAHAHAHA.

2. Same to you Ohthmere Wyrdmake. You hypocritical traitorous fleabag. Forged by Fenris my foot. You are a PSYKER. PSYKER. PSYKER.PSYKER.PSYKER.PSYKER. Hear that? PSSSSSSSSSSYKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRR. While I'm glad Ahriman fed you to the devourers in the Warp I would've loved to have seen the look on your face when the Horus Heresy unraveled. Bring out the marshmallows because someone is going to get buuuuurrrned!

3. YOU ALL MOTHERFUCKERS MADE SANGUINIUS CRY!!!! There is absolutely no forgiveness for making that sweet, bloodthirsty, blackraged angelic man CRY. Nope. No forgiveness. Whatsoever. Done. (Incidentally, they did say here he had black hair and his wings were black and white. Interesting.)

4. Magnus was sooooo excited, so hyped up for Nikaea that he even dressed in his Sunday's best to attend and what did y'all do? THROW IT ALL IN HIS FACE LIKE A CRIMINAL. Did you even give the man advance notice? HEY, SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER YOU'RE ON TRIAL FOR YOUR ASS. All hush, hush, secret. AMBUSH TRIAL. How classy. You couldn't, oh, I know, maybe telepathically talk to him maybe, give him a heads up? You think he's not gonna show up or something because he will defy you? Magnus loved his father, he would've obeyed like the son he was. For someone whose been talking to him since he was an embryo, his Dad sure knows shit about him.

5. And while we're at it. what is he on trial for anyway? FOR SOMETHING YOU MADE HIM INTO. Here son, have these super duper special powers. And while we're at it, let's make an entire Goddamn legion...nope not a dozen, not a hundred, but an ENTIRE legion of warp-wielding super soldiers from your genes. Hey I'm giving you dangerous stuff here, but I won't tell you its dangerous, or what could come out of it. It's like giving a kid a Christmas present, then taking it back, making him put in back a box because he might shoot his eye out with it (hahahaha you can insert all the puns you want in here). THEN WHY GIVE HIM THE PRESENT IN THE FIRST PLACE????  Criminy cripes. Maybe you should’ve given him Space Legos.

6. And after all this BS, Magnus still had the desire to HELP prevent the Motherfucking Horus Heresy. He tried to save Horus. When that didn't work, he tried to warn his father. AFTER his humiliation, AFTER his CENSURE. AFTER they told his Legion to shut up and fuck off. AFTER they have been labelled sorcerers, warlocks, wielders of black magic. HE STILL TRIED TO DO THE RIGHT THING. He messed up. He made bad decisions. Sure. But you know what, HE COULD HAVE JUST WALKED AWAY AFTER NIKAEA and told everyone, FINE, I'M LETTING YOU ALL BURN IN HELL. I'M GOING TO SIT HERE AND DO NOTHING WHILE HORUS FUCKS UP THE GALAXY.

7. Of course, the clincher, the burning of Prospero. I haven't gotten to that part yet but I'm likely to go off like this again.

-------

I’m sorry if I offended anyone. I just had too many feelings after reading this part..Almost like the feelings I had reading about the assfuckery they did to Angron.
