The pattern is clearly shown as the zigzag line on Fig. 2.1. (...) These and other features of the atmosphere are shown in Fig. 2.1. (...) Because temperature appears in the denominator of the exponential term, there are small changes in slope of the pressure versus altitude curve within the different regions of the atmosphere and this is shown graphically in Fig. 2.1.

Undead Unluck ch.237 thoughts

[GAME! Final Results...]

(Topics: thematic analysis - loss/acceptance, speculation - epilogue)

nOOO!!! Clothy!!! My son!!!

I failed you! I thought for sure I found a way to keep you alive, but we still lost you...!!!

Hic...no...no, it had to be this way, didn't it...loss was always a part of this story. The acceptance of death, found through the reflection of one's life, is one of the primary themes of the narrative, someone had to go, and Clothy's circumstances provided a perfect opportunity for that

Say Yes to the Dress

He represents the loss of the UMAs as a whole while also giving someone for Fuuko to grieve. He gives Tozuka the chance to illustrate what the world looks like without UMA while also letting us, the audience, feel the weight of that change. But most of all, he primes us for what's to come

You may have noticed that Clothy's once monstrous face has significantly softened over time. In recent chapters, his eyes have been ovular and cartoonish, but in this chapter in particular, he has a familiar distinctive brow and toothy grin. In this chapter, Clothy looks exactly like Andy

Clothy has gained the same mentality as Andy. He's lived more than long enough and achieved far more than he was ever meant to accomplish. He has nothing to regret, and his legacy is secured. All of humanity will still have clothes, but more importantly, in his final act, he leaves a parting gift for his friends to remember him by: a wedding dress, for Andy and Fuuko's union, keeping him alive in the hearts of those who mattered most to him

Seeing such a dear friend pass on with literally the same smile as Andy feels like foreshadowing for the main event to come. By showing us the event in miniature, Tozuka prepares us mentally for the real thing, helping it to feel less sudden and easing the pain of it: giving us time to accept it ourselves

But like I said last week, there's still one member of the cast who may not be ready to accept these losses

It's All Ruined

With the removal of all Negation abilities, the logical conclusion is that Ruin, who presumably is still floating in the thermosphere, immediately died upon losing Unruin. Funny as that is to think about, though, Ruin was surely brought back to Earth and restored the same way that everyone else's bodies were healed

How he'll reunite with the cast is unclear for now, but I think his role will be to question the value of the final outcome, to illustrate what the cost of losing this fantastical world really was. We take at face value that this is the ideal outcome, but like everything else, it's a matter of perspective, and Ruin's isn't invalid just because it's unpopular

Japanese fans have been quick to point out that the kanji that Luna uses when she says that Negator abilities will be "extinguished" are 消滅 (shometsu). Extinguish is a fine translation, but the first kanji alone would suffice for that; the second kanji carries the connotation of destruction, complete erasure, and most interestingly, ruin

Yes, it's the kanji that is specifically used in Unruin. This implies that, in some way, this action is ruinous, so some folks believe that Ruin's Negator ability will overcome this "reward," and as I suggested last week, he might be able to use it to bring back at least the UMAs if not other Negator abilities and Artifacts. On some level I feel like that would invalidate the emotion of Clothy's "death," but I also think it would make for an interesting final philosophical debate

If nothing else, I think the conclusion of Ruin's story will play on Luna's last words:

"We will no longer intervene in this world. We will simply continue to watch over it as the Sun and Moon from here. A place no one knows. A place with no Gods."

The Great Beyond

This line implies the existence of an afterlife, and may refer to the Subspace that souls have been established to go to since, presumably, no one actually remembers Subspace after death. Everyone has conversed with their predecessors' souls at this point, but that's all anyone remembers from Subspace, so there's no evidence that anyone actually knows anything concrete about it

If that's the case, then it's likely that the UMAs that became the laws of nature also passed onto this afterlife. I don't think that Ruin is actually going to revive the UMA, but I do think he'll have a way to reach or communicate with Subspace, giving us a glimpse at how the UMA have established their own world distinct from that of humans. I wouldn't be surprised if Ruin himself even finds a way to travel to that world, abandoning this one for good

The idea of Ruin giving up on life in our world may seem antithetical to the messages of the story, but remember, Fuuko said she wanted to make a world where people could make their own decisions without being subject to the whims of the Gods. A place where people who want to live can live, and people who want to die can die

If Ruin doesn't want to live in this new world, because he can find no place in it, then it should be his right to leave it and pursue the life that he does want. Again, it may show the downsides to the world that Fuuko created, but even this is a matter of perspective

Regardless of what happens if or when Ruin comes back to Earth, though, there is one much more glaring downside to the rewards Luna gave out: the loss of Fuuko's memories

Will You Love Me Again?

Because they're just items, the loss of the Artifacts seemed like it was going to be a bit of an afterthought, the least impactful of the three Rewards. If Apocalypse were still around, he'd have a moment like Clothy's, but he got his months ago, so he didn't need to compete for screentime here

However, the presence of The Heart, even depleted, was the only thing keeping Fuuko's memories intact. The moment it vanished, as its shell shattered, so too did Fuuko's memories, their fragments fading away in one of my favorite panels that Tozuka has ever produced. If we ever make it to the anime, this is the moment I'm most excited for

To drive the weight of this moment home, we see Akira bidding farewell to Anno Un, we see Shen and Mui fall from Kinto'un as they try to make their way to Fuuko, and we see Latla running to her only to trip as Blade Runner is replaced with her original leg. The Artifacts were not an afterthought, they were a key component of this world and these characters, and their loss cannot be overstated, even if everyone is ultimately better off

While some of the cast are impeded from coming to Fuuko's side by the sudden change and others are simply paralyzed, the only one who makes it to Fuuko is Tatiana. Fuuko's first friend and her final recruit to the Union, finally wearing clothes like Fuuko wanted to see her in, and Fuuko doesn't even recognize her

The tables have completely turned. Though Fuuko can finally touch whoever she likes, she's the one who can't wear the clothes she wants to, completely unaware of the significance of the dress in front of her. Now she's the one who can't remember the pains and the joys of her life before now, the one who is no longer the person she was before that everyone wanted to be with

"I want to wear that dress the way I am right now." That line, echoing what she said before initiating the loop, "I want to live in that world with everyone as they exist now," is simply heartbreaking. The saddest line in the entire series in my opinion, as it highlights how Fuuko is the only one not to reap the benefits of her own efforts

And yet...it carries hope

Because that line doesn't exist in a vacuum. It's not a lamentation, it's a request, her final order as the boss of the Union: "bring me back." And of course, Andy responds: "leave it to me"

As Luna fades away and Fuuko looks on in confusion at the bittersweet expressions of the gathering of strangers, the man holding the dress catches her attention: "yo, brat. You free right now?"

With Fuuko's memories gone, the man known as Andy is dead. All that remains is a long-lived man with no name and no place in the world, a wanderer looking for meaning. Fortunately, he knows where to find it: with the girl who gave him his name and a place to belong, a reason to live. The goal is the same as it always was: get her to fall in love with him, make a happy life together, and see it through to the end

The Greatest Death Ever

Until next time, let's enjoy life!

Hello, Hello

because it's Thirstday, it is just but fitting to mark the 4th day of Jimtober with some of the hottest Jimins we've been blessed with throughout the years.

And let's start with this Jimin from the Wings era:

I don't know about you but everything about this Jimin is just thirst-worthy. And the sexiest things about this Jimin are his beautiful body line and that delicate hand covering his sight. Jimin, when captured while dancing, is just breathtaking to behold, and in this snapshot, sizzling.

The next Jimins wear the best accessory that propels his hotness into the thermosphere.

Jimin rocking these colored specs (come on Gentle Monster, you got to make that offer) is just swoon-worthy. He wears glasses so well and makes his beautiful face more alluring.

Before we proceed, let's have some water break:

I don't know about you but I need more drenched /wet Jimin in my life. And that slicked back hair (bonus points when the undercut is showing) just makes you want to drink that Jimin up.

Just like this Jimin

Jimin looks extra hot whenever he wears a dress shirt or a suit, like:

But even if he is just wearing casual clothes, he still exudes sexiness:

The great thing about Jimin? You'll never know who you'll get. You can get the hot today then the cutie tomorrow then the pretty next week. But one thing for sure, whoever Jimin we get for the day, he'll never fail to evoke a strong response, because that's THE PARK JIMIN we are talking about.

Leaving you with this Jimin that I am pretty sure is the one to blame for the current Tannies chest collection, hehe

Wish Granted 🌟👩🏾🎶: How Star Came to Earth 🌍 (Bonus Story)

(This story starts years before the events of the story, and leads up to "This Wish")

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

In this special space of Earth's atmosphere called "The Startosphere" ,its located in a cosmic space between the the mesosphere and thermosphere. In this space, millions of stars travel across the galaxy as nomads. They go around seeing different nebula formations, constellations and other wonders of the universe!

All of the star people have cosmic power, but its never been used to the extent of actually permanently changing their own form, let alone turning into animals or a human.

That is, until one young Star saw the Earth.

Humans and animals fascinated him even when he was just a plushie shaped star. He loved how everyone seem to know each other, had exotic creatures in their everyday lives, and eating things like, what were those things called? Oh yeah, food. Food looked good.

And the humans! He loved the humans so much, our Star slowly changed his outward appearance to look just like to them.

Now, our Star was quite different amongst his family and species. As the Star nomads live together and slowly start to drift apart, they learn to live independently from one another. So independently that they're accustomed to traveling alone for decades, there's no need to make friends or even mate often because there's nearly endless stars in the sky.

Our Star did not like to be alone. He loved to make friends and loved his family, but his big happy family did not last forever.

Our Star had a mother, a father and five brothers. His parents were a bit quieter than their children, and the children themselves enjoyed being loud and playing with each other. They could get a little rough, but always managed to have fun. His mother and father did have their hands full, especially when our Star liked to zoom around the moon trying trick them into playing an extra game.

Star had no name, and neither did his two younger brothers. But his older brothers gained the names of Orion and Draco. They started off being together as one group, but as time went on and two of then reached departure age, they became distant from their siblings. When the time came for them to leave at 15 years. Tears were not shed. They would miss their family, but not enough to leave a lingering attachment. As years pass for the star nomads, the memories of friends, mates or family, will fade as they naturally adjust to being alone.

When Our Star reached his departure age, he held onto his memories like a vice. Not wanting to forget the love he had for them. There were days he missed his younger brothers to who always asked for him play a game of tag. Days he missed his mother's calm voice when she sang to calm them down. Days he even missed his stubborn father's well meaning lectures on not getting his head in the clouds.

As our Star traveled, he met lots of unique nomads, all with their own personalities, likes and dislikes. One thing he always wanted to learn about with them was Earth. The nomads had seen Earth dozens of times, and grew a bit bored. They preferred to see planets and nebula outside of the Earth's system.

But our Star couldn't do that. The more he watched Earth and humans, the more he wanted to go there. He just didn't know how.

Star traveled with other nomads, hoping that one of them would be a traveling companion. But it seemed that they would only stick around for a week at most, and then decide to leave. It would be days before he saw one or more nomads at a time.

Star did try to stick with them to other places, but the longer he was around them, the more the other nomads started to get annoyed. He was still a young one, and perhaps he needs to get used to being alone to mellow himself out. It was simply a phase he needed to pass.

But each year he got older, Star still talked about Earth. Like, nearly 24/7. Every nomad he encountered had already seen Earth, but never wanted to talk about it to this extent. Star already knew just about everything having to do with space, and he always saw nearly the sane thing everyday. Earth was always changing, something new happened each day and was full of surprises.

Star attempts for friendship started to backfire, so eventually the other stars were honest to him. He was told many reasons they refused to travel with him:

"You're way too obsessed with Earth."

"The universe is infinite, why bother with one tiny planet?"

"Can you stop talking for five minutes?"

"You know you don't have to hug everyone you meet?"

"Its not working out, you're just...too much to handle."

"I think its better if we travel apart."

It took Star a very long time to process. At one point he traveled with a female nomad named Astra, whom he thought maybe would be different because she enjoyed Earth a lot too. However, after a week traveling together, she challenged him to a race around Earth's moon. Star won the race, and waited hours, but he never saw Nova again.

Now he understood. He was the problem.

So years passed, he traveled but spoke less and less each year. Knowing that anyone he traveled with would leave him. It hurt, but he didn't say anything. He could feel his own glow dimming as his joy was fading.

After he turned 18, he finally came across a group of stars gathered near Earth, discussing the activity of the humans. Feeling a spark of hope, he flew to join them. Perhaps he could get advice on a name for himself! But once he arrived...

It was the same. Star was infamous for his non stop chatter and pestering about Earth, so now most stars learned to stay away from him.

Star could feel his heart sink (If he had one). He finally decided to give up finding a friend, let alone a mate.

So Star sat on a small nebulae in front of a good area of Earth, and watch the people go by. He longed to be down there, surrounded by friends. But there's no way he could ever get there on his own. He was stuck in space, alone.

Star laid down on the cloud, closed his eyes and patiently waited. Waited for the supernova to activate. It would be quite a long time, as stars live for billions of years, but he could wait.

Everything was quite. Until...

🎶So I look up at the stars to guide me🎶

Star's eyes popped open. He sat up and look around.

🎶And I'm throwing all caution to the side🎶

"Hey, is one of you guys singing right now?" He asked a few nomads passing by. The two that heard him shook their heads.

🎶If knowing what we could be is what drives me 🎶

🎶Then let me be the first to stand and shout!🎶

Star stood up and looked at the Earth, now realizing it was a woman's voice. It was such a beautiful voice... He could feel it changing something in him as he looked at a shining light coming from the Iberian Peninsula. The song was pulling him in as he heard the voice continue.

🎶So I make this wish, to have something more for us than this!🎶

🎶So I make this wish, to have something more for us than this!🎶

Star's eyes lit up and a goofy smile stretched across his face. His yellow glow returned as he felt his joy return to his body as he heard the voice gradually get louder.

"She's calling me... SHE'S CALLING ME!" Star shouted as he nearly fell off the could. He ended up doing back flips out of excitement.

"What are you on about?" Asked an older male nomad.

Star zipped over to him. "You hear that? Don't you?"

🎶Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah🎶

🎶Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah, ah🎶

🎶More than this, oh, whoa, whoa, ah🎶

The nomad rolled his eyes. "Humans sing all the time for various reasons. Sometimes a bit too much."

"But she's singing to me! Out of all the stars in this universe, she's calling me!" Star could barely contain his excitement, he didn't even realize the nomad was slowly back away from him.

Star listens once more to the song:

🎶I always knew I needed freedom to go,🎶

🎶But, I did what I was told when someone told me, "No!"🎶

🎶Now I've got all of this desire in my heart🎶

🎶And I just can't keep the lid on, but I don't know where to start!🎶

"OHMYGOSH, she's feels how I feel! This is insane, we both want the same thing!" Star paced on the cloud as his mind was racing as his glow began to flicker in unison with her singing. The nomad quietly flew away, hoping that the insane sounding Star didn't notice him.

🎶Cause we've been here generations and generations,🎶

🎶Oh, where should I even begin?🎶

🎶I'm done keeping my thoughts in🎶

🎶No, I won't stop, no, I'm already rushing in!🎶

Star gasped. "Okay, okay, calm down. She clearly needs my help, but how do I get down there?" He rubbed his knuckle on his forehead. "Think! Think! Think!"

He opened his eyes and saw a small glowing trail that seemed to lead to the very shining spot he was looking at. He looked down at his own hands, and an idea finally arrived.

🎶If I could just be free of this feeling of suspension,🎶

🎶Oh, where do I go and what do I do?🎶

🎶My heart is breaking, but my head's held high,🎶

🎶The way you always taught me to🎶

"Don't you worry, I'm on way there, just hang on!" He told the voice. The joyous Star closed his eyes and focused all his power on the song. The light in the center of his chest began to shine, his glow grew brighter and brighter as the other nomads began to notice.

🎶So I look up at the stars to guide me🎶

🎶And I'm taking this as a sign🎶

🎶I'm sure there will be challenges that find me🎶

🎶But I can take them on one at a time🎶

Star's flickering was fluctuating rapidly as it kept in sync with her singing. He took a took a running stance on the cloud and his power built up more and more, until he was filled to the brim with magic.

"What is that guy doing?!" One of the nearby nomads asked.

Star's eyes opened wide, as they burned a bright yellow. "HERE I COME!"

🎶So I make this wish🎶

With all his might and his heart focused on the beautiful voice, Star rocketed himself towards the Earth, leaving a shockwave of light and stardust behind and causing the other nomads to be blown backwards. The stars were rattling due to the aftershock.

🎶To have something more for us than this🎶

🎶So I make this wish🎶

🎶To have something more for us than this!🎶

Star took off at such an incredible speed, he looked like a comet coming to Earth. He was so full of excitement to finally come to his favorite planet, he laughed on his way down.

🎶Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah (so I make this wish) 🎶

🎶Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah, ah (to have something more) 🎶

🎶More than this, oh, whoa, whoa, ah🎶

The bright star was rapidly approaching Earth's atmosphere, and eventually entering the Iberian Peninsula. He was going so fast he barely had time to take in the surroundings as the music swelled up.

🎶So I make this wish 🎶

🎶To have something more for us than this!🎶

Asha slowly opens her eyes once she finishes and notices one of the stars seems to be flickering rather quickly. It wasn't doing that before. At first Asha wasn't really going to pay it any mind, but then it started to get brighter. And brighter. And brigther. It got so bright that she had to shield her eyes from the light.

The animals near her feet scrambled away, except for Valentino who beleted and hid behind her legs. Asha could barely see, but she swore she could hear... laughing? She tries to look back at the sky, only to see something hurtling STRAIGHT TOWARDS HER.

"What the he-" (her eyes widened) VALENTINO, RUN!" Asha exclaimed as she and the goat tried to run down from the tree. The laughing was growing louder and louder. Seeing that it was pointless, she grabbed her little friend and the two hit the ground together. Just in time too, because that ball of light wooshed right over their heads and down the hill, still laughing along the way.

Star realized he passed by the singing woman way too quickly, and he forgot to account for one thing. "I DON'T KNOW HOW TO STOP!"

Both of them looked up and saw the bright light going down the hill, the glowing ball flying through the air until–

"Ow!"

Thump!

"Ow!"

Thump!

"Ack!"

Crack!

"Oof!"

*Cat screeches*

"Sorry! AAAAAHHH–"

BOOM! 🌠

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

FINAL THOUGHTS

So, how we feeling? 😅

I've been meaning to write this one for a while, as providing extra backstory and lore to "Wish Granted". A lot of readers were curious on what Star's life was like before coming to Earth, since the main story has only been dropping small hints. Towards the end, Star will tell Asha why he doesn't want to go back to space, giving her more understanding of why he's been so determined to stay on Earth. Its also why he loves that there are other Starboys and Stargirls to hang with, he's not alone anymore!

This is probably the saddest story I've written, but I wanted it to have a good outcome, and show what it was like for Star during "This Wish". This is actually the scenario I pictured for the actual film, where Star came to Earth because of Asha's passion and desire to help was so strong, it literally reached the stars! But according to the director, it was star dust. Good lord...

Plus I've seen stories where Starboy comes to Earth and feels homesick, likes Earth but chooses to go home, or they get forced back home. Most of the time they really love being in space. I wanted to play with the idea of a star who hated being in space in the first place and wanted to come to Earth.

It also ties into my upcoming teaser poster for the story where the tagline is "She called. He answered." So I'm glad that actually has a pay off.

The main story will continue later on, just want to finish my outline. And more people are returning of their studies, so I'm real excited to talk to the other writers again! 😁

Thanks for reading!

Mothra and Astra (larva) looked up at the night sky together. Astra, noticing the stars, reached out to them.l

Mothra: do you like the stars?

Astra: *chirps*

Mothra: one day, we'll fly togther, i'll show you the stars closer.

HEADCANON!!!

Since Mothra Astra possessed a rare power to fly higher up to the Earth's atmosphere (I must say, she loves flying higher into space), Mothra makes sure her daughter won't outbalanced the gravity, pressure and temperature once she is there. It's super rare for a moth to fly into space because there's no air molecules to breathe, except the Princess.

She likes flying in the thermosphere because of the auroras' colorful brilliance and the UV radiation somehow she detected, which makes her bioluminiscence even more stronger.

Certain times that Godzilla nearly have a heart attack after seeing his precious daughter dive down like a burning meteor in the atmosphere, seemingly not having a single scratch...but he scolded her 😐

But HEY! OPPOSITE SCOLDING!!!

Mothra hates Godzilla for bringing their daughter on a sea to swim.

And Godzilla hates Mothra for bringing their daughter up from the sky to the extent which he regretted it of dying.

Supervisions are thin though...

Plus, an ideal connection to the stars is something Astra transpires for as a role in the future.

[to-be-a-dreamer]

In case anyone else was wondering, I did the math and, to reach a speed of 5000 mph by going up in a plane and jumping out or something, you would have to free fall from a height of approximately 160 miles, which is in the thermosphere (not breathable air) and doesn't leave you with enough distance to decelerate safely so it's not really a viable method. Yes I took a break from the action movie show to do physics don't worry about it

Scratch work for reference

[drops-of-universe]

Little Drops, I love you! Can you write me a poem?

drops of universe annoying as hell

has a little tale to tell

are you ready? let's get all

autobiographical

over dry salt flats i gaze

a wasted land, horizon's haze obscures a figure mountain-tall

a god, a beast, a fireball

under the burning thermosphere, where does the anon go from here?

[abimee]

ooohh I want to know who CY-ENA's friends that go down w her are.also with the dying planet what exactly did the people in the city decide made it uninhabitable? was it too hot or weather patterns or something that made it hard to survive?

I have a bunch of designs floating around for the other two in the group (besides CY-ENA) so theyre still cooking in the pot a little, but I can talk about two of them: the MC and her girlfriend(?)

The MC (left) has an unknown age, due the new humans having a different form of keeping track of time and ''progression'', just as they have a different measurement system, language, etc. In true human time, she's probably around 36 years old. She was born in a great plain area of the world that is nothing but wheat for miles, and her community focused on logging trees to protect the grain. She's a rudimentary Grace user, having practiced since she was 12 true human years old. For now she is a ''warrior'', which to the new humans mean she keeps conflict from happening by helping various communities and establishging connection with the more isolated ones that prop up.

Her favorite foods are the animals that descended from prairie dogs and owls, as the owl in specific had evolved into rather pleasant pickings. Her height is ''unknown'', but she's on the taller side of the new humans. She is above all rather quiet and considerate, but has the tendency to not communicate her own personal thoughts well and therefore comes off as distant or overly professional, making it hard to become friends with her if you take silence and curt responses as ''getting brushed off''.

Her girlfriend(? wife?) also has an unknown age, but is around true human 40. She's exceptionally tall and brawny for a new human, and sometimes gets the nickname ''Boar'' because she is massive and has a sort of shaggy golden-brown hair color like that of the descendents of boars, who have grown massive in the 15,000 years. She is incredibly friendly if a bit tactless in professional scenarios, so she never became a ''Warrior'', and instead acts as a bodyguard of sorts to Warriors, which is how she met the MC and fell in love.

She is going bald in her age and has lost all of her body hair, and the hair on her head is slowly thinning out and receeding in its hairline. Her favorite meats are the re-introduced ancestors to the Pronghorn antelope, and she loves ale. She has had one prior child with another woman, but they left to another continent years ago, and she does not consider that child her family.

As for what the True Humans were going through long ago, it is not well categorized, but it's a mix of things; humanity at that point had already advanced their capabilities into making underground and thermosphere structures, and were prematurely sent into these structures when the climate grew too severe; across the world the water rose, hurricanes ravaged the coasts, tornadoes threw cities into the air, thunderstorms washed out metropolitan areas, snows froze everything it touched, etc. They went into the earth and into the sky both to protect themselves, and their ''technology'' they were developing to combat what had become of their planet. The 15,000 years spent in these megastructure was spent developing the androids like CY-ENA and the machines and weapons that will eventually become known in the story, but in this time something has also happened to the True Humans in these structures, because it is suspicious that they eventually stopped sending humans to the surface as punishment, and none of them have ever found out the surface has been inhabitable for thousands of years again and came out.

There Is however one True Human that the group meet, her name is Maya :]

Fulgrim AU

It was a glorious dawn on Chemos, the last day of servitude as its industry advanced, its people free from labour and able to pursuit their own desires. The Coronation celebrated the one who changed the planet's fate, Fulgrim, he had stopped the never-ending toil the populace endured for the resources of off-world traders that they needed to survive.

Fulgrim awoke in his palace, it was a renovated factory with its machines removed. The first art of Chemos covered the palace, far from the drab greys the planet had only ever known, the walls were coloured in violets, scarlets and rouges. Paintings hanged on the walls, drawn on the back of supply mainfestos.

Gifts were left by his door, some priceless such as an ornate sword left by an old crone, others more sentimental like a child's doll that had one of its eyes torn off and had stitches over its body.

"These are the gratitudes of my people" Fulgrim mused.

As he walked the halls a man was waiting for him, he was dressed in fine clothing the likes of which the planet had never seen, decorated in shiny gems, all this marked him as one of the off-world traders that the planet once depended on.

"Congratulations" the man spoke "you've made a fine change here, this opulence suits you. If you wanted more you could strike a deal with me. Your people must be grateful to you for all the help you've given them, but they aren't capable of having so much freedom all to themselves, i mean look at this rubbish".

He gestures towards the paintings and the gifts. "This is the work of people who wouldn't know the meaning of beauty, they are labourers they need labour. I could show you exotic pieces from other worlds, and all you would have to do is let me take a few of these people to one of the distant moons to do what they do best, work".

He picks up the doll.

"I mean this is just plain shit", as he tosses it toward a wall.

Quicker than the man eyes could see, Fulgrim had rushed between the doll and the wall, catching it.

"This is mine" exclaimed Fulgrim "these people are mine, their achievements are mine, their future is mine and i will not let them suffer from parasites such as yourself who would let them work themselves to death for your gain and stifle their own desires".

"Your pride will be your downfall", the man stormed off.

Later that night

Fulgrim stood on the balacony addressing a crowd of hundreds of thousands.

"This is the future you have all been tirelessly working for and you will share in its wealth," before the speech could continue the sky was alight with flame as fire fell upon the palace grounds.

The people screamed and trampled over each other to get away, the palace was in blazes and many couldn't escape. Fulgrim looked up at the source and saw in the planet's thermosphere a trading vessel.

The palace collapsed with Fulgrim trapped, the fire consuming all within. The paintings destroyed, the doll burned and the ornate sword... glowed. Its light grew as the last death yell of the people trapped within.

Fugrim reached for the sword and feeling its energy unleashed it.

The ship above was ripped from realty as a warp hole appeared and its crew ripped apart by the souls of the dead.

In the dawn Fulgrim rose from his ashes.

Imagine if some ancient soviet document was publicly released that revealed that Laika ate a baby or some shit, like she was actually a fucking sicko and the only thing they could think to do was launch her into the thermosphere
