As someone who has ridden a pony in real life--and yes, I do mean that in the BDSM fetish sense--I can tell you exactly why she's doing this.

I like to use a unique tagging system on all my blogs to make it easy to find posts again

Latin is used as the translation convention for Imperial High Gothic, since that language doesn't exist (and English is busy standing in for Low Gothic). Also I'm studying Latin and need all the practice I can get.

Ergo (therefore), I am tagging posts on this sideblog in Latin.

#vetmalleus - oldhammer

#Haeresis Hori - Horus Heresy

#canon capitis XLk - 40k headcanon

#meretrix doctrina - lore slut

#tribus tumblrensis XLk - 40kblr

#debacchari - ranting

#caconere - shitposting (portmanteau of caco- and proponere)

#sitis - thirst

#sane non - not really

Can't do it, Sarge, I might get my feet wet.

Mutuals, charge that entrenched enemy position of machine guns with no covering fire immediately

iustum.

something that doesn't come up very often in the How Bad Is Emps discussion is that he's. he's really old. millennia old. there's no way his sense of time isn't flagrantly broken. i mean look at him! every time we get an immediate perspective on him the dude is making plans with thousand-year timeframes. all of his buddies (well, ex-buddies) are perpetuals. emps has more in common with the eldar or the necrons when it comes to sense of time than he does with literally any non-perpetual, and that includes the primarchs.

just think about it. the primarchs are, what, three centuries old at Ullanor? they're BABIES. ok, maybe they're not babies, they're clearly old enough for simple tasks like systematic genocide and aggressive expansion, but c'mon, they haven't even reached their first millennium. of course emps isn't going to burden them with adult concerns like the encroaching threat of Chaos, or the potential dangers as humans evolve into a psyker species, or the existential challenges imposed by their warp-entity-wearing-flesh natures. they're kids! let them be kids! their brains are still growing, probably.

so yeah, emps holds off on some big conversations. and yeah, he ducks out of the crusade to go work on the webway by himself, what's wrong with that? it's just a few decades! he's spent more than a thousand years uniting humanity, surely he deserves a little time to himself. from emps's perspective, he's just spending an afternoon building a treehouse in his workshop. the kids are old enough to know better than to stick forks into electrical outlets, they'll be okay for an evening. horus you're a responsible guy, you're in charge.

but then like five minutes later magnus fucking bursts through the wall like the kool aid man screaming bloody hell about horus and then the hole he made starts puking daemons everywhere and yeah emps loses his temper and yells but he was gone for FIVE MINUTES. and now there's daemons all over his workshop! magnus what the fuck! only magnus fled as soon as emps started yelling without explaining a damn thing. also the hole is still puking daemons. ok, ok, emps will stay in the workshop and try to fix the hole before everything is covered in daemons, but he still needs to figure out what the hell is going on. leman, you're an obedient kid, hell you're always boasting about it, surely YOU'LL listen. go get magnus--yeah, i know you don't get along, this isn't the time--go get magnus and bring him here so he can explain himself.

emps goes back to the hole and--leman did WHAT? magnus did WHAT? HOW DID THEY FUCK UP BASIC INSTRUCTIONS. hang on, what's this about an isstvan. horus is rebelling? fucking HORUS??? nine legions????? HALF THE ARMY????? wtf wtf wtf oh shit it's chaos isn't it. emps looked away for five minutes and chaos got its claws in his boys. it's been six years. that's like a bathroom break. how did the boys break everything in SIX YEARS???

Y'know, there are whole swaths of Human languages that don't have grammatic articles (e.g. a, an & the in English), so there's an even chance neither branch of Gothic has them.

It's entirely possible that in Gothic, High or Low, there is no linguistic difference between "My other ride is a Leman Russ" and "My other ride is Leman Russ".

If I'm a Guard trooper fighting alongside Space Wolves, I am going to choose my words VERY carefully.

And the Commissar just takes it for granted when I meltafy a chaos marine.

I always forget how exhausting psoriasis flare ups are. Growing extra skin takes more energy than you think.
