[ image id: a series of pieced-together screenshots from wikipedia and warhammer 40k's fandom wiki. in totality, they read thus:

We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.

The Imperium of Man, also called simply the Imperium, is a galaxy-spanning, interstellar Human empire, the ultimate authority for the majority of the Human species in the Milky Way Galaxy in the 41st Millennium A.D. It is ruled by the living god who is known as the Emperor of Mankind.

This place is not a place of honor...

It spreads across the whole of what used to be the Himalayan Mountains (now called the Himalazians) of Old Earth and is primarily defended by the Adeptus Custodes, although Space Marine, Collegia Titanica, and Adepta Sororitas forces are also known to protect the massive, city-like complex.

no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here...

Poor, brave Malcador the Hero. He reserved a fragment of his strength for me. It gives me little time to pass final orders to you. If you do as I ask then I shall not wholly die, my spirit at least will survive.

nothing valued is here.

The Astronomican requires the sacrifice of large numbers of psykers daily for it to continue to function, and also for the Emperor to be kept alive on the Golden Throne.

What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.

He has sat immobile, His body slowly crumbling, within the Golden Throne of Terra for over 10,000 standard years. Although once a living man, His shattered, decaying body can no longer support life, and it is kept intact only by the cybernetic mechanisms of the Golden Throne and a potent mind itself sustained by the daily sacrifice of thousands of lives.

This message is a warning about danger.

Imperium of Man / Imperial Truth / Unification Wars / Great Crusade / Imperial Compliance / Space Marines / Primarch

The danger is in a particular location...

Terra is effectively a globe-straddling temple dedicated to the worship of the Emperor of Mankind.

it increases towards a center...

The heart of the Inner Palace contains the Sanctum Imperialis,

the center of danger is here...

The Imperial Palace is as heavily populated and just as active as any hive city of the Imperium. In fact, it probably has a higher density of population per square kilometre than most hive cities. Billions of adepts from all branches of the Adeptus Terra work in the Imperial Palace complex overseeing the affairs of Mankind.

of a particular size and shape, and

The levels and byways of the Palace can take a lifetime to learn, and only the Adeptus Custodes know them all. From the rails of high balconies are artificial ravines 500 storeys deep, filled with lights and teeming with people. Some of the great domes in the Precinct, especially the Hegemon, are so vast, they contain their own miniature weather systems. Microclimate clouds drift under painted vaults. Rain in the Hegemon is said to be a portent of good fortune.

The Inner Palace is also the seat of the Senatorum Imperialis, the twelve High Lords of Terra, who are charged with divining the Emperor's will and ruling the Imperium in His name.

below us.

The danger is still present, in your time,

1.6. Great Scouring 1.7. Imperial Stagnation 1.8. Era Indomitus

In response to the emerging forces of Chaos throughout the galaxy, the recently resurrected Roboute Guilliman, primarch of the Ultramarines, and now once more the lord commander of the Imperium

as it was in ours.

Unification Wars / Great Crusade / Horus Heresy.

The danger is to the body,

the people forget their duty they are no longer Human

Cults dedicated to flagellation and penance seek to prepare Mankind for the return of the Emperor.

5.2. Gene-Seed 5.3. Implantation of Astartes Organs 5.4. Primaris Gene-Seed and Organs 5.5. Conditioning

and it can kill.

can suffer wounds that would kill a lesser being several times over, and live to fight again. Clad in ancient power armour and wielding the most potent weapons known to man, the Space Marines are terrifying foes and their devotion to the Emperor and the Imperium of Man is unyielding.

it is honourable -- a reward and can be no failure

a Perpetual like the Emperor, one of a strange group of Human mutants who possess the ability to be resurrected

the bleeding wounds he sustained still visible upon his neck and chest.

The form of danger is an emanation of energy.

the awe-inspiring sight of one of the Emperor's own sons,

"the Anathema" for He is the greatest embodiment of universal order in the galaxy today and the most potent foe of Chaos

psychic beacon that is the Astronomican within the Warp.

The danger is unleashed

mortally wounded,

1.2. Rise of the Emperor

Casualties (defenders): High, many xenos species were driven to extinction

Horus was slain,

only if you substantially disturb this place

Things have only been made worse with the birth of the Great Rift or Cicatrix Maledictum in ca. 999.M41.

Age of Strife / Eye of Terror

Aeldari Empire / War in Heaven

This place

Milky Way / or just "the galaxy,"

is best shunned

just had an absolutely sickening conversation with a 20 year old I work with wherein I had to impress upon her that her and her friends need to be extremely cautious going to the gay clubs right now with increasing attacks happening. make sure any very young, very newly adult queer people in your life know that we're a family and community and part of that is being willing to fight for your siblings lives if they're under attack. even if it's a person you despise, you stick up for your family and they will stick up for you. we are all we have. the cops refuse to help, and so do most people outside the community. we cannot survive without each other

LATE 🍎NIGHT 🐮TRIO🎩

I've wanted to make this "Soldier, Poet, King" themed art for the Late Night Trio since February, but I haven't really had the motivation to finish it. I figured this would be a good time to complete this art now though.

Thank you, Gracias, Obrigado, and Merci Pomme, Dapper and Richarlyson for providing so much light and sunshine to so many people's late nights- including mine <33

To Lumi, Shade, Ricardao, and all the admins and actors- thank you for all the love and passion you've continuously poured into your characters every single day. Wherever you are, wherever you end up going, I wish you the best of luck on your next journeys. Thank you for the love and the memories <3333

Some years ago, I posted in the art forums on Gaia asking for feedback on a portrait I did. I don't remember if you offered feedback and I checked your profile out of curiosity, or I simply stumbled upon you while looking at other posts made that day- but I remember sending you a PM to ask where I could follow you because I fell in love with your art at first site. One of the best things to ever happen. I love coming back to look at your pieces and just revel in the designs.

this feels SO strange to me in a good way bc I feel like I haven't been on Gaia for so long and I can barely recall what I've been doing there now but thanks so much for continuing to be here!! ;u;

local guy claims intellectual superiority by declaring people who criticise veilguard just haven't played long enough and don't really know what bad writing is. it must be very peaceful to have such an empty head.

I can't sleep. I've just been listening to Odetari for the past few hours.

This is for the folks who don't know The Narrator (Black) is villain-coded.
