Since the Thousand Sons are inspired by the Ancient Egyptians, wouldn't their Primach, Magnus, also have multiple wives, since the pharaohs also did?

Again apologies for the incoming history lore dump but I’ve got to get my moneys worth from my undergrad.

Ancient Egypt covers thousands of years of history - it was an ancient empire when Rome was young, and old enough for there to be ancient Egyptian archaeologists studying even more ancient Egypt. Cleopatra is closer to us than the pyramids timeline wise. All that to say that sweeping statements about Egypt always come with the caveat that it was around for A LONG ASS TIME and therefore morals and behaviours changed as it went on and anything I say isn’t applicable to all of the kingdoms.

having said that: yes pharaohs had multiple wives. They lived in the harem, which was way more than just a collection of consorts for the pharaohs sexual pleasure - the harem was a deeply political institution, where women schemed and plotted and sometimes even murdered to ensure that their son got onto the throne. Women in ancient Egypt had more political power than you might think - they were ofc subject to their husband or son, but it was considered perfectly normal for a woman to rule as regent while her kid matured and sometimes after.

So yes, if Magnus is acting like a pharaoh and if prospero was ancient Egypt (I really don’t know enough about the lore to say if it is or not) he wouldn’t just have multiple wives from the tribes he had conquered or allied with; he would have a harem of women, some of whom served as advisors; others just as mistresses. His sexual prowess would be an important part of his image - because what use is a pharaoh that can’t maintain his harem? In ancient Egypt that ofc meant lots of children, but in 40k it could manifest differently

also just realising that Magnus and leman really are perfectly opposite. Ancient Egypt was a prosperous society governed by the predictable fertile tides of the Nile crescent and thus could maintain a culture unchanged for centuries. Viking era Scandinavia on the other hand was a hard and brutal land, forcing migration and change. Not sure if it’s reflected in canon - again, not read the books - but if they were acting true to their respective cultural influences, Magnus would probably think leman is a strange, changeable creature and leman would see him as an uptight bastard stuck in his ritual and tradition.

what's with the weird glorification of smoking that's come back lately

like

I've seen so many posts that paint opposing smoking as some impossibly Loser-ish or puritanical stance and I really don't get it

it makes you, your house, and your clothing stink, destroys your teeth, and gives you lung cancer. opposing it is. Correct. obviously addiction is very complicated and quitting can be hard, but just saying "smoking is gross and harmful as a practice (including vaping)" is True and Right actually

some of you have never grown up hearing about how some beloved family member died a slow, agonized, wasting death of smoking-induced cancer, or watching it firsthand for yourself, and it shows

Just made this, does this make sense to anyone else?

It was supposed to stay as a blank sketch but I had the brilliant idea to colour it in- now I have to repeat it for the rest of the cast when I make their human versions- bravo face, bravo. AAAAAnyway I'm still in doubt on some of their roles but I did see a reblog bout kingers role in the circus by @bookoramaenderteeth so Imma role with that concept. Also I have no idea what Jax is supposed to be doing, the possible ideas are written right next to the sketch. I have a thing for grabbing the most expressive and we'll made characters and throwing them in my "average-fy" machine and they come out looking boring as fuck

Ps: I FORGOT TO COLOUR POMNIS PEN FKN DAMMIT

Being a fan of stories that revolve around robots or AI in the 21st century is so weird now. Like how do I tell people I'm the biggest fictional robot appreciator and the biggest real life robot hater

You see how Deadpool and Wolverine only cause minimal damage to civilian life? You see how respectful they are to the extras? Very mindful. Very demure.

They don’t cause irreparable damage to major cities likely killing hundreds or more like some people. Instead they’re very mindful and cutesy

I keep on hearing people go all "The voice of the Smitten is such a creep. All he wants in the princess is someone to control and keep as a pretty object. He'd drop the princess if she wasn't the perfect petite maiden like in the damsel route." and I will not stand for the Smitten slander.

Like- He's been in love with her as a burning corpse ghost lady:

A terrifying ghost woman who wants to bring fear and chaos to the world:

And even a murderous blade monster woman who would kill you and enjoy every second of it:

Like, he ALWAYS loves the princess no matter what she looks like or how she acts, he loves her for being herself no matter what or who she is. That's the point of his character and I'm tired of people slandering my boy.
