#Firstborn

[marlynnofmany]

"No, Faerie, you can't have my firstborn because a daemon has a lien on it. You can subordinate to theirs to get my second, you can have them subordinate for the second, or find some way to share up to two children as-yet-unborn. Or, you can not offer me such things..."

A.K.A. prelude to the worst/best second "mortgage" negotiations ever

P.S. the collateral is their soul, so having one child is already expected

That's a scenario rife with possibilities! Everybody involved seems up on their laws and loopholes -- at least according to their own people's customs. I wonder if there's wiggle room in the interpretation somewhere.

Does adoption count? Do the kids have to be 100% human? Can the human go sign a third contract with something scary who thinks it would be a hoot to be legally some human's child, then get a chance to wreak havoc in another realm?

(And if the kid has to be the human's biological child, what if that human seduces the boss of one of the other two? Or them?)

There are many ways this could get far messier than any of them signed up for.

And of course i had to make Txonuk’s (aged up) big bro, Tsantu, whom i see as a literal copy of Neteyam 🌚💕

For context, I friendly advise you to read @jakexneytiri ‘s “Forever & Always” piece(s). The writting is amazing ✨

Been having a relaxing time painting up a bunch of my space marines. Tactical marines of the Iron Knights chapter, fifth company. Three regular brozos, couple of flamers and two sergeants.

I love old monopose marines, what dorks. Theyre simple and quick to paint, especially with the easy scheme of the Iron Knights. If I was picking a chapter nowadays, id probably go for something more gaudy and fun, but then I doubt id be painting so many (for me).

Of course I have to show off the freehanded chapter symbol 🥵

And that makes two combat squads! Perfect size for my custom razorbacks with a character friend.

Onto my devastators next!

I’d let my house go up in flame for this fire.

Colossians 1:18 (NKJV) - And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

Their firstborn son loves to sleep in the arms of the snake-father. He put his back to the sun and listened to the rustling of plants and the rustle of book pages

IMO “ancient aliens built the pyramids and taught us agriculture” is a lot less interesting idea than “there were advanced technological aliens on Earth, but they went extinct millions of years before humans evolved.”

Their cities crumbled and were buried, their machines became junk and then dust, and the Earth forgot about them.

God damn it Brock, keep attacking me like that 😂

I have a question, why did rumple want everyones fucking firstborns like to eat them? put them in baby races? make the firstborns fight to the death? like why. What does he even do with them?
