Sanguinius

Someone, anyone, cram Sanguinius into a fancy uniform! It would rumpled in an instant, he would hate the shirt because it would restrict his wings and he take it off mid-soiree because he doesn't have a nudity taboo. Ladies would faint, men would realize deep secrets about themselves. The gossip rags would be frothing for days. The Emperor would be horrified. It would be fantastic!

Roboute Guilliman in his Terra Social Debut.

Officials praised his polite and composed demeanor,also his pragmatism and wit.Some secretly rejoiced that finally there was a primarch who valued smooth communication.

Yet,he was also considered lacking the charm of Horus and Fulgrim.This was because the 13th Primarch spent over an hour discussing "Military Camp Arrangements: Theory and Practice" with the most noble gentlemen and ladies on Terra.

Before making his debut, Guilliman had discreetly sought the opinions of Vulkan and Dorn, who were also there at that time in Terra. But he found their advice to be of no real value.

Nonetheless, Terra Gossip Gazette also praised the young primarch for his sharp jawline and nice butt. He didn't say anything about that,but experienced a brief moment of secret delight. When he returned to Macragge, he couldn't resist sharing this news with Euten, only to face playful ridicule.

I remember curly hair being a beauty standard in ancient Rome.

So I offer you Guilliman and Sanguinius hogging the primarch grade curling iron

Some belated artworks based on this amazing post by @staticymaticyyourlifeisatravesty

Couldn't draw all of Dadmarchs last weekend, but have some I found extra funny in comic format 😂

All dialogues are straight down from OG post, just edited to be a speech. I recommend to read through OG post for full experience.

Consider! Sanguinius daughter has wings! flyin lessons! Teaching wing care! But also being looked down for being a mutant, or neing put on a pedestal for being an angel!!!

Flying lessons had to happen first after the few scares this litol child gave to her papa and mama

Doodle comic time, bby <33

Cursed thought born from this post:

What if Sanguinius growled when you try to pry him off your cunt while he's eating you out on your period? Just goes feral, and very overstimulating, and once he's done he's licking his lips as if having tasted the sweetest of ambrosia, while you're just trembling from it all-

A sketch of Sanguinius on Baal. My headcanon is that he wore a lot of light long clothes. Like, Baal is a desert planet, why is he depicted as pale and in a toga? I think wearing a lot of clothes would make more sense. Yes, he is a primarch, such temperatures are probably not a problem for him, but he grew up in a culture of people living in the desert. I don't think he would wear a toga, which is not typical for them, plus he was a leader and was respected. Ornate clothes could well indicate his status.

The last post was a rhetorical question, but, glad you guys want to hear me out!

Anyway, the Imperial Palace is haunted. "Haunted".

Surely, there are no such things as ghosts, right?

Except, when the Raven Guard Astartes began to report things disappearing when you don't look at them and also seeing pale ghostly figure stalking the hallways, people began to tense up, even though some just brushed it off as them confusing a ghost for one of their own. When the Custodes began to back up the Raven Guard's claims, the Primarchs got involved.

So, the main ghost hunting squad consists of Horus, Sanguinius, Corvus and Alpharius (and Omegon, but, shh). If we assign them the "Mystery Gang" roles, then Horus is Fred, Sanguinius is Daphne, Corvus is Velma and Alpharius is either Shaggy and Omegon is Scooby, or it's the other way around. No one notices the changes anyway.

A lot of their methods include things like a ouija board (from which they learned many interesting things about the ghost, particularly how many pickles it can shove up its ass), asking the ghost questions in the dark room, taunting the ghost (and screaming like little girls when the ghost retaliates), using a radio to try to communicate with it... That kind of stuff. A lot of the times, Corvus tries to negotiate with the ghost by offering Horus a sacrifice, much to Sanguinius' annoyance. Surprisingly, Horus doesn't really mind becoming a sacrifice (he thinks he can fight the ghost off) (he can't do shit). Alpharius and Omegon are both amused, however they initially didn't take the hauntings seriously. As time went on, though, they slowly started to plan their way out of the group.

The gang then turned to Lorgar for help. Their research led them to find out that numerous religions, in the past, had ways to ward off ghosts. Perhaps Lorgar can do something? Lorgar decided that a religious sacrifice could potentially pacify the paranormal ("No, Corvus, we are not sacrificing Horus"). He ordered Alpharius and Omegon to find and bring a small animal that they could sacrifice, while Lorgar prepared the salt, the candles and the prayers. Alpharius brought a little white rabbit from the Palace's kitchen. Sanguinius was sad to see such cutie get sacrificed, he made sure to give that rabbit some pats before the ritual. When the right time came, the Primarchs, all 6 of them now, stood in the circle made out of salt, in the room that was pitch black safe for some lit candles. Lorgar read the prayers and tried to stab the rabbit in order to kill it. The dagger, instead, bent to the side, as if the animal was made out of steel. The white rabbit then became possessed and jumped onto Alpharius, trying to bite through his helmet... And almost succeeding, had Sanguinius not grabbed and tossed the vermin out from the circle. Despite being tossed by a Primarch with full force, the rabbit didn't even break a sweat, instead preparing to pounce on its next victim. Thankfully it was put down by Horus and a couple of shots from his bolter pistol that he thankfully brought with himself. The killer rabbit was dead and Lorgar felt despair. Why didn't his faith in their father stop the malicious presence? He will make that ghost pay! Feeling wronged, he joins the ghost hunting squad and helps keep the group together and to coordinate the rituals.

Magnus thinks he can crack the case himself. He gets the photo evidence of paranormal activity, however, his recording skills are subpar. The photos and videos are blurry as fuck, as if Magnus covered the lense with a thick coat of vaseline beforehand. No one believes him or takes his evidence as, well, actual evidence... Except Jaghatai. His bike has been acting weird lately. Sometimes it turns on all by itself, drives itself for a good distance, sometimes it refuses to turn on, or strange things pop out on the display. Something is messing with his bike and the Great Khan is REALLY pissed at this. And, so far, he only trusts Magnus with this, so, they become a ghost hunting duo. Through the series of unfortunate events, the two have to race away from the pissed off ghost, with Magnus clinging onto Jagh and yelling "DRIVE FASTER, I'M SCARED".

The ghost also visited the Night Haunter himself. When Konrad realized he had an intruder he looked at the ghost, who decided to appear to him as a demonic looking old woman, taller than Konrad himself. Their eyes locked together and Konrad just... smiled, his rotting teeth revealed by a wide grin. He and the Night Lords were never bothered by the ghost again after that.

When news reached Roboute of what was happening in the Imperial Palace, he just made a shocked face and went "Oh no... Anyway!" and then went back to drinking the finest of wines you could find on Ultramar, while basking under Macragge's sun. Jackass.

Ferrus and Rogal were both working on the project together and didn't even notice the ghost. At some point, the ghost became a third participant: holding a hammer or shinning a light where it was needed. When Ferrus and Rogal realized what was happening, they just... Went back to work and continued to exploit the ghost. They would never say no to free labour.

Жертва Великого Ангела не была напрасной. Он подобен своему Отцу, как один из величайших защитников человечества. Мы всегда будем помнить то, что его удар по Архиврагу был решающим. Никто не изменит этой правды. The Great Angel's sacrifice was not in vain. He is like his Father, as one of humanity's greatest defenders. We will always remember that his blow to the Archenemy was decisive. No one will change this truth. (art David Ok)

I don’t fully know Sanguinius’s story and this likely more my personal interpretation, but I tend to see him as the embodiment of the Emperor’s good side. Sanguinius is beautiful, charismatic, and those who meet him have no doubt that he is the best among the Emperor’s sons. Even in the Imperium Secundus, when the Emperor was feared dead (before the Siege of Terra), there was no doubt that Sanguinius should be the new emperor. Practically all of his brothers liked him and respected him.

So it’s natural that people see him as angelic, a perfect man, as close to godliness as possible even in the era of the Emperor’s Imperial Truth. I imagine he inherited the raw psychic charisma of his father, so that everyone only saw the angel they believed him to be. In that sense, while there’s certainly much that could be explored of the man himself, I think Sanguinius is better used as this seemingly perfect being that everyone inevitably measures themselves against, becoming an unwitting mirror that reflects others.

This would especially be the case for the Blood Angels, who are sons of this angelic man, and yet are subject to terrible curses of the Red Thirst and the Black Rage (or severe misfortune and misery in the case of the Lamenters successor chapter).

To be a son of Sanguinius is to be a razor’s edge away from becoming a monster, either from literal or figurative bloodlust. The former comes from a horrible genetic flaw, the latter from a betrayal so treacherous and a death so horrible it echos throughout the Angels’ memories.

How horrible is this mutation, this ticking time bomb in your geneseed, when you yourself began life as an irradiated wretch doomed to die from radiation poisoning and cancer, to achieve perfection that is fatally flawed, thirsting for blood and haunted by your father’s death?

This is the legacy of Sanguinius, one he would not have chosen for his beloved sons, and one that torments them to this day even through horrendous events and the near loss of their homeworld. Tragedy and madness, held off only by their father’s example and artistic pursuits.

Sketch of Dante and Sanguinius heavily inspired by a painting “A Scout is Loyal” done by Norman Rockwell. I’ll finish it at some point between my shifts :’)

I’m going to try to make it look more like a painting versus my chalk brush stuff. Hardest part (figuring out what the hell their armor looks like and what Dante’s halo looks like from the side) is done so the rest rolls easy.

Killing myself HOW THE HELL DID I NOT SEE THIS SOONER??? Eating this up like a 5 star buffet, this is delicious, delicious, so delicious!!!!!!!! There's some relief and genuine joy at seeing pure Horus/pure Sanguinius, but then, of course, both are overcome with shock and then devastation, because both are horrified by the idea that THEY were the ones to fail their lovers. Despair at the realization that their relationship was doomed, because either one of them was always meant to become the traitor. Perhaps loyalist!Horus clinging to the hopeful idea that, with this connection to canon!Sanguinius, they could change things, they could fix things, fix each other. Sanguinius, unfortunately, isn't as hopeful as his brother is. YOU'RE KILLING ME OVER HERE

Horus/Sanguinius girlies, I got a plot bunny for y’all. It hit me the other day, but I just haven’t read enough of their books to do anything with it. I hope one of y’all find something fun to do with it:

Since the start of the Heresy, Sanguinius has dreamt of Horus a great deal. It’s only natural; his former lover’s betrayal and the resulting heartache means Horus is on his mind a lot. But some of his recent dreams are…odd. They’re significantly more coherent, he can freely act, and Horus is…well, he’s exactly the way Sanguinius remembers him. But he talks to Sanguinius like he’s the traitor, and Horus is the loyal son fending off the Heresy. Somehow, Sanguinius has connected to a Horus from a mirror universe.

Shoutout to characters that are both genuinely deeply kind and also genuinely terrifying and willing to spill buckets worth of blood to get something done. And neither of these are an act, they're just both very true.

I found this very funny
