#Fuck the imperium

[angelstraiqhtfromhell]

fuck dude i love Ghost so god damn much.

[bigbrownboots]

so ever since the quizzes came out and we finally got confirmation on what the hell it is that all the other contra-elementals can do, i’ve been obsessed with the confirmation that.. Lasko is canonically super fucking powerful as a magic user, and specifically as an air elemental. here’s why: (possible tw: mention of asphyxiation as it occurs across the storyline and the Imperium briefly)

in the first video where contras are really brought up - Audio RP | Catching Up and Hanging Out With Your Himbo Friend [M4A] - Huxley uses fire elementals and fire-contras as his main example for how elementals and contras compare: he talks about how fire elementals are great at producing heat, but it takes far more effort for them to be able to take it in, and even when they do, they cannot take in much. that’s something that fire-contras are much better equipped to do, since that’s their specialty.

we already know that specialists will always be the most capable when it comes to performing their specific branch of magic, and for everyone else, that’s something they have to train and build to over time.

Lasko is an air elemental. air elementals are great at controlling air, and again, producing gusts, hurricanes, flurries of wind and such. it is specifically air-contras that specialise in taking large amounts of air in, and thus creating vacuums.

do you see where i’m going with this?

we know from what Lasko revealed about his past that, even completely untrained, he was able to completely take in all the air in a room - which he and his mother were standing in, so, presumably it was one of the main rooms in his childhood home, not just a tiny storage space or a cupboard under the stairs - Lasko managed to take out all the air in that entire room, creating a vacuum strong enough that his mother could not breathe in.

and we know that this wasn’t a one-time fluke due to his powers manifesting, because he’s still capable of performing this ability, seemingly without substancial effort. in his very first audio - Audio RP | Nervous Air Elemental Guidance Councillor Schedules Your Classes [M4A] - Lasko mentions that he “should’ve just negated all the air in the room to douse the flames” when Damien set his papers on fire, but this time decided not to, since he “can’t just suffocate him” (referring to Damien).

also, if we want to bring the Imperium storyline into this, (which i understand that technically, President Moore is a different character, but let’s say that theoretically they would be at similar power-levels - since the only way to improve your magic is by training it, and both characters started from the same parentally-established-magically-restrictive-humanborn place, and spent presumably the same amount of time at the academy) President Moore is able to take all of the air out of a room and create a vacuum able to asphyxiate a person even “through a wall,” “just as simply” (holy fuck). and, in addition to this, Vindemiator blatantly says “you’re strong, Lasko” as he’s pinning him. he has no reason to lie or to inflate (ha ha) Moore’s ego, in fact, Vindemiator is very open with how much he despises Moore, so i’m inclined to believe the powerful demon when he admits to Moore’s magical control.

but, even without considering the Imperium, i think it’s definitely something to think about. even just as an air elemental, Lasko is able to wield air-contra magic like it’s just a part of his natural skillset. Lasko Moore is a fucking powerful magic user.

- i would like to point out now that it’s entirely possible that Mr Redacted didn’t have everything fleshed out from the beginning, and that Lasko’s ability to take in air could have originally been just a part of air elementals’ capabilities, (and then with the inclusion of contras, things got divided and changed) but i think it’s fun to believe and theorise regardless.

in conclusion: holy fuck, Lasky

it's actually so funny and telling that the champion of the strife emperor is working with the volition and opposing the imperium. RIP to bane, I know you love a good imperium, a hot conquest, sexy war and subjugation and tyranny. alas this time the conquest, war, subjugation, and tyranny will KILL YOU, and so here we are. working with freedom fighters, of all things. oh how the mighty fall

Freelancer can practically see the steam rushing out of Gavin's ears.

His face is red and his eyes were glaring holes into them. If they didn't know any better, they'd say he was mad at them.

But they saw the way Gavin's lips fought a smile. The corners of them tugging up without his approval, entirely giving away his facade.

They've grown awfully fond of him, and it almost scared them. Almost. No one could really be scared of such beauty, in their humble (and very correct) opinion. And if that didn't convince them, Freelancer would take any and every opportunity explaining how wise, endearing and kind the man in front of them was.

"Are you even listening to me?"

That snapped Freelancer right out of the clouds. They paused for a second, before coming clean.

"Nope. Sorry, handsome."

If Freelancer said Gavin's face managed to get even more red, he would deny it.

"You-" he starts, putting his face in his hands, breathing in and out to calm himself, "I am going to kill you."

If Gavin meant that, he didn't show it. Perhaps one could argue the blushing, smiling and wide eyes filled with adoration were all a ruse to hide his murderous intent. If that was the case, Freelancer had definitely fallen for (him) it.

Unfortunately for Gavin, Freelancer had one last card up their sleeve.

"And what are you going to do, Gavin? Fuck me to death?"

What were they here for again? Magic history tutoring? A movie date? Finishing the leftover pizza and wings they ordered the last time Gavin was over?

It didn't matter anymore, because Gavin was forcing them out of their seat, grabbing their face and kissing them breathless. All while maneuvering the both of them into their bedroom.

When Freelancer took a breath, they were on top of Gavin, legs on either side of his waist, one hand pinning one of his arms down while the other was resting on his chest. They stared at him as they felt his chest falling and rising, his heart beating beneath their touch.

They remembered what that meant, when a demon took the time to form a heart beat with magic. Slowly, they leaned down to kiss his chest, right where a real heart would be if he was human.

They looked up at him, and in their brief eye contact, Freelancer thanked him. For his help with DAMN stuff, for trusting them enough to be this vulnerable with his emotions.

For being in their life.

If Freelancer was asked if they started to cry in that moment, hiding it from Gavin by meeting his lips with their own again, they'd say it was drool.

Much like the Emperor of Mankind, may your suffering serve as proof of my enduring strength, and a valuable lesson that the folly of my actions is irrelevant in the face of your inability to stop me.

Behold the Tube-mag Bolter:

Because I love Warhammer by hating on it for decades after I stopped playing or spending money on it.

Galvatron: starts a revolution in the name of equality for all life forms, both organic and inorganic.

Also Galvatron: Start an intergalactic war so horrible that when it ends, almost EVERY. SINGLE. MECHANIOD. of Cybertronian descent is deported back to their ancestral home, whether they participated in fighting or not.

Also also Galvatron: cause an overpopulation crises on a planet where resources are already thin because of what one of your subordinates did. Said crisis eventually causes THE BEAST WARS. EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT.

ALSO Also Galvatron: One of those planets that used to be under Cybertronian control was home to a bunch of psychic space elves, who in celebration of their independence, quickly devolve into hedonism, causing the birth of a MALICIOUS WARP ENTITY.

Also ALSO also Galvatron, one of the planets that had cybertronians on it gets targeted by the FUCKING QUINTESSENSONS, because of leftover tech. Said quintessons "uplift" this planet using golden avatars, and turn them into a galactic superpower.

Also also, The Quintessons eventually hijack incredibly powerful technology of Iron. Causing a horrible, horrible war.

And remember those space elves and that warp entity? The entity's gestation causes space storms so bad that said Imperium is cut off from it's colonies. Right after a devastating robot rebellion.

That's right! Galvatron is indirectly responsible for the creation of both the Imperium of Man and Slaanesh!

He's probably spinning in his grave about now

Your Horus??? HELLO???? SIR I AM FREE FEB 14

my dyke grandma who LOVESSSS business mens fashion played a part in the choices i made for him

also (╥﹏╥) im so overwhelmed (positively) over the kindness you've all shown me. i really dont know what to do with myself? i struggle a bit with communication and talking to people, but i really am just emphatically thankful and happy!! heres to more! i wish i could return everything you all do for me

[soup-scope]

i really hope that when alexis is introduced she’s introduced in a very. neutral manner

i don’t want her to be this cliche villainous that causes conflict between sam and darlin

alexis has been avoiding sam for 15+ years after she turned him. she doesn’t want conflict with him it seems

i lowkey hope that alexis has a small ‘talk’ with darlin. maybe just asking if sam is happy or smth like that. i just don’t want her to be a two dimensional villain when erik has clearly shown he likes to deal with his characters in shades ya know (example:vega)

[androgynouspenguinexpert]

tell me; is the world really worth saving?

This is so weird... the eyes are bigger on the second, and they moved and re-sized the markings on his head (look at the ones under his eyes), but they left the eyes orange??? that contrasts SO horribly with his outfit tho... and if those Wolf Mask Warriors' eyes can turn blue when using their powers, why not give Ras blue eyes instead???

and u cant tell me he doesnt have Garmadon syndrome (he looks naked, like his thang is out. and i am NOT a fan)
