#avoid the obvious like ferrus manus

[ask-the-crimson-king]

Underrated part of writing and creating characters; making their names have hidden etymologies. Some people just go "oh yeah I named my character this because it's cool", and that's perfectly fine, but I also love when a character has a name that also has a meaning attached to it.

Even if it's something ridiculous or very blatant, like Malum Caedo from Boltgun (literally "I cut down evil"), it's very fun to see. I've done this with a number of my characters, sometimes making kinda janky amalgams with names and words.

Please take this as an invite to tell me about any characters you have made/have appreciations for that have etymologies to their names. I would like to be able to read about some of them.

continuing my mission to write the most brainrot nonsense instead of my actual to write list please find below a non comprehensive list of the kinks I think that some of the primarchs have:

Perturabo:

Praise kink. Obviously. Tell him how great he is

facials/generally cumming on his partner - he’s insecure and wants to prove that yes you are his and yes he owns you. No you may not wash it off. Yes you will end up having to avoid eye contact with his sons when they smell him on you. No he does not care.

free use - he’s a very busy bee and he wants to be able to take his consort whenever he needs her. He’s not like roboute who will schedule the time - he tends to his needs as and when required. And then he gets back to work.

Ferrus manus:

Size kink. All the primarchs have one more or less but he’s especially obvious about it — all the stuff that he tends to find repellant about humanity in general (being small and soft and frail) he finds appealing in you in particular. Likes how your hand can’t fit all the way around his cock, or how he has to fuck your thighs because he won’t fit inside

Daddy kink - no, he doesn’t want children. Yes, he does like it when you call him that.

leman russ:

Is it a kink if he won’t stop smelling you

Loves seeing his sons enjoy you - only if you consent to it ofc, but he’s a big fan of pack activities. You. You are the pack activity.

wants to bite the back of your neck during doggy, and your shoulder during missionary- basically leaving as many marks as possible. You’re always going to have a fresh bite mark or a healing hickey somewhere visible

Sanguinius:

Blood play! but he feels horribly monstrously guilty about this and will not launch into it straight away because if he lets loose and tears into you as much as he wants to he will end up killing you. When he does trust himself to get a bit messier he will nibble as gently and as carefully as possible, lapping up your blood with the most blissed out look you’ve ever seen. If he gets a little more confident he may end up biting you, but that would only happen if he has several of his sons (or one of his brothers )present to pull him off you if things get too far

not really a kink, but he loves being preened - he’s got a lot of hard to reach itches in his wings and your small human hands are the perfect way to get to them. equally, play with and braid his hair - pamper him! He will return the favour as much as he can - presenting you with nice clothes and shiny things and hinting you should grow your hair out so you can match him.

Horus:

Breeding, end of list.

But seriously this man will cum inside and put your knees by your ears and refuse to let go. He will cum inside again and again and again until you’re literally leaking. It’s gross. And hot. Depends on your point of view

like leman russ, he wants to watch you fuck his sons. Unlike leman russ he wants to join in - he wants to bugger little Horus, then you, and that’s all fine and dandy as long as he doesn’t get too carried away and try to stack the Astartes on top of you for easy access. Sexy jenga is great until you’re being squashed by half a ton of superhuman.

his bedroom is full of mirrors. He wants to fuck in front of them - watch himself, watch you, watch you both. Hold your legs open so he can watch his seed drip out of you. And then sulk because no wait it’s meant to be inside where it can get you pregnant.
