"Woah woah woah, calm down, we're not going to get too violent here. we should just not tell him about it and leave and plus, you're on a fucking life support after Fulgrim almost killed you" Corvus said while attempting to stop Roboute from doing something that would be very irrational for him to act

"Let's just hope, nobody tells old man that we all going on a beach vacation for like one day. because we need time for ourselves and I don't want him to ruin the fun" she said hoping that nobody tells Father that all the primarchs are going to the beach vacation tomorrow

Cato @ Aiko: (Send me 🍹for my muse to take a shot.) "Stay hydrated!" (He hands her a glass of juice, 0% alcohol) (@ tired-space-politician)

Aiko looks at the shot glass with an expression best explained as insulted confusion. Her gaze shot to Cato at her side and she gave him a pained grin,

"Sure thing Dad. Thanks for looking out for me." She slammed it back, resolving to find something a little stronger much later.

🤡 - What’s something dumb they’re embarrassed about? 🌱 - Do they have a green thumb or are they a plant killer? 📱 - What social media do they use the most? 👪 - What’s their relationship with their parents like?

The classic: someone waves hello to the person behind her but she thought they meant her and waved back. She tried to laugh it off.

She neither has green thumbs nor is a plant killer. She's doing fine with the right instructions but she's not familiar enough with plantcare to be able to improvise. She's very diligent though, if there is a plant in her care then Padmé will never forget to tend to it, and if she is off planet she will make sure someone else looks after it.

The space equivalent of Twitter most likely, since lots of politicans are on the platform and citizens also tend to write down how they feel in a political sense. It's a good way to gauge the field but Padmé also tires of social media very easily and needs to take regular breaks to detox.

Padmé adores her parents. She's closer to her father than her mother. Both of them keep teaching her valuable lessons and they always supported her endeavors. When twelve year old Padmé decided she wanted to become Queen, her parents supported her, even moved into the city for her. Her father thaught her humility and to be grateful for her privileged life.

I still want a TFP/Clone Wars crossover set in some vague au where the Decepticons arent just giant dickheads and a space bridge malfunction sends them to Star Wars

Give me Vehicons and Clones bondinc over being clones! Give me the Clones helping them get their own identity with like markings and colorings etc like they have on their own armor!

Give me a Megatron who absolutely would look at the Senate and the Jedi Council and go "No fuck all of you" and then they go and give aid to all the ones left buried by the War

Give me Megatron and Soundwave who learns of Anakin's past and are actually helpful in dealing with it because they've been there?!?!?

Megatron spends 828171 years yelling at the Jedi Council for basically telling Anakin to just "get over it" and no he does NOT give a single flying fuck about the magical telekinesis power ya'll posses, shove it up your exhaust port!!!!!

Give me Soundwave who bonds with Obi-Wan because dealing with Anakin and Megatron is exhausting but they still love them

Knockout and Breakdown is a huge help in the Medical field, especially when it comes to transportation and covering!!!

Shockwave is also there and his inventions are a great aid, and also Predaking because dragons

Ahsoka charms all the Decepticons because she is objectively best girl

R2 and Lazerbeak bond and become Gremlins in Crime together, C-3PO is constantly yelling

Starscream, Cody and Rex bond by being Perpetually tired of having to save their reckless General from everything all of the times

That one time Count Dooku tried to flirt Megatron into the Dark Side and The Separatists, Megatron had Soundwave send him a middle finger

Padme also charms the Decepticons because she is also best girl and the only Politican they will trust

The Jedi Council eventually starts being less shitty because I said so

I thougjt about the Autobots but idk how to put them in and frankly who cares they can have Earth Good Luck to them

Roboute nods in approval despite the radioactive blush colouring his cheeks "I appreciate the material and fluid dynamics efficient design. It shall allow me to develop more freckles, and with aid of the floaty: swim. Thank you, I shall endeavour to be less modest in my appearance."

"I have been informed by my Victrix that I cannot go underwater walking in my toga. Any suggestions for appropriate swimwear would be appreciated." Roboute does not seem very pleased to have made this announcement.

I love how on your blog you basically ship everyone with everyone, lol. Also, wanted to know your opinion on Vanessa + Nate. I loved them together.

Haha, that’s the point of fandom, isn’t it? We get only one canon; there’s only one canon endgame - unless you have a multiverse or whatever those are called! But in most cases, canon has its limits. Fandom to me is the space where you can just go “what if this happened instead?” and you can literally go anywhere with it. It’s such fun?

I loved Vanessa and Nate together too!! 100% my favourite canon Nate ship and my favourite canon Vanessa ship. They both had a lot they could learn from each other - I feel like getting to know Nate showed Vanessa that there’s more to people than immediately apparent, in similar ways that getting to know Blair showed Dan that? And I think Vanessa’s entire attitude of nonchalance and badassery was exactly what Nate needed. 

[ more under the cut ]

Vanessa was one of the only people on the show who saw Nate just as Nate, and not as Nate Archibald. Her and Dan, I would say, are the only people who really saw him like that. Jenny wasn’t above using him for social status and for her own gain when she needed to. Even the NJBC - their entire dynamic is built on “oh we’re all rich and lonely.” Nate was a part of that club because he was a traumatized rich kid, because he was Nate Archibald. But to Vanessa (and to Dan but we’re talking about Vanessa) he was just Nate. 

They both believed in each other and supported each other!! Nate convinced V to take her SATs just so that she’d have an option!! he was all like “you don’t even need to go to a college if you don’t want to but at least you have the option, you’re really smart and you shouldn’t count yourself out of the game” and I feel like... nobody really did that for Vanessa? It was such a sweet moment. And when things are happing in S2 with Nate’s grandfather pulling him into that cultish WASPy Van der Bilt web, Vanessa was like, the only person who believed that Nate could get out, that Nate could be whoever he wanted, that Nate didn’t have to be a politican, or whatever.

I was incredibly pissed off with how they broke up - it made no sense, and it was actually an actively racist thing for Nate to have done -> he was so full of white guilt + guilt over his privilege, and he just. did not handle it well. said more about this here.

I loved, loved, loved Nate and Vanessa together. I loved how they both brought out the best parts of each other, how both of them could just have fun together. I loved how they were willing to meet each other halfway, and to admit when they had been wrong or whatever. (case in point: this bit in the age of dissonance where they resolve that issue they had in a healthy way. ) I loved how 50/50 their relationship was, how there was something in it for both of them. Nate has this emotional maturity and perceptiveness to him, and I think that helped V a lot. And Vanessa’s whole thing of “we can set this whole world on fire and you can be whoever you fucking want, it’s YOUR life nate” --> the way Vanessa believed in him.... nobody else believed in him like that. Not Blair, not Serena, not Chuck... everyone around Nate underestimates him all the time and thinks of him as unintelligent, and I’m like, sure, he’s a himbo, but he isn’t as dumb as everyone thinks he is. The NJBC, his best friends since childhood, are always making fun of how stupid he is - Chuck and Blair more than Serena, but I feel like Serena never really took him seriously either. Which? I find it interesting that Dan and Vanessa, once they get to know Nate, don’t make fun of him like that.

Anyway. I have a tag for Nate/Vanessa on my blog, I used the shipname Vanessate because I felt like it sounds better, though I didn’t realise everyone calls them Natessa. biggest RIP. I also wrote this fic about them and hope to write more of them, because god, they are a DELIGHT.

I can probably dig up fic recs for them that other people have written too, but I’ll do that later! I’m just so tired rn dslkfhklghsd.

📖 and 💀 from witchy asks? I’m starting a grimore and am looking for things to put in it (im also just curious about thoughts on curses

📖 - What Is in your grimoire?

So my Grimoire is on a USB! I also have a folder on my desktop for when I find stuff to add on there later. I have so much stuff from PDFs of books (mostly on herbalism) spells I write down or find online that worked for me, folders dedicated to seasonal magic and sabbat celebrations. Recipes for food, soap spells, teas, body creams etc. Playlists for meditation, one notes for personal correspondences like for crystals, colors etc, written down personal rituals, planetary magic and channeling, The 1980s MP4 of The Worst Witch Halloween Special lol it’s a mix of everything but mostly stuff I want to hold on to for a long time especially personal rituals. 

I’d suggest a digital book of shadows. You don’t even have to get a USB you can just have a Folder on your desktop. It’s just easier to keep stuff and you may not feel inhibited from starting cause sometimes I feel like I will tarnish a good pretty journal if I start off writing something wrong.  You can accumulate so much that way and then really specialize in writing it down or creating your own book when you have a lot of material. 

I’d recommend for your own book of shadows to write your own correspondences to things. Like colors can be really subjective! Then if you celebrate sabbats or seasons do that, or if you honor the planets or work with deities. What ingredients or elements remind you of love? Abundance? Wisdom? Protection? Write correspondences for those. It’s good to have a directory of knowledge for what resources around you can do for your magic!

💀- Opinions on Jinxes/Hexes/Curses?

Always protect yourself! Cleanse the space afterwards (and it helps to clean yourself too like a shower!) so no residue or negative energy sticks around. Also never do any aggressive magic in your personal space like your bedroom. Treat that energy like it’s radioactive and do it far from your spaces where you are supposed to feel safe or cleansed. 

Also here’s a life lesson I keep remembering: Never do any baneful magic on someone who has power over you (like abusive family or a boss) cause often when they get affected by it, since they are abusive power trippers they will take it out on you since they are bullies and that’s how they naturally react to experiencing negative experiences/emotions- by dumping it on someone else. 

The best thing to do if you have an abuser is to bind them so they can’t harm you. Next thing is to try to banish them or do road opening so you can find your own way out if they can’t be banished cause they are rooted there. When they finally don’t have power over you you can hex the shit out of them haha.  In some cases like a boss it’s good to do a ‘reveal to everyone this person is a piece of shit’ spell so that if their reputation gets ruined so does their power and that means they have less of it over you. In bigger cases like a politician, you should banish or hex the people working for them to topple their pyramid instead of hexing them. It makes me TIRED when I see witches talk about hexing the figure head politician who is literally just a muppet representing something bigger. Sometimes you have to think of it like a video game boss fight where you gotta get rid of the minions first. So many witches just hexed Trump and I feel like that’s what made things more chaotic cause he’s still in power. With all of the mounted negativity along with him being a narcissist who will never step down until lightning strikes him, I think it’s all a cocktail for him to make it worse. It would have been better if people focus on smaller politicans that hold him up because the best thing to do is to dismantle someone’s power before sending negativity their way.

I support magic to protect yourself and retaliate when you feel powerless but understand the dynamics of power before you get into it cause you can make things worse if you are trying to take on someone abusive. You can think of it similar to tasing like if you are tasing someone who has their clutches on you, you’ll end up getting a shock as well lol.  It’s better to dismantle them first or remove yourself from the situation if you can and then do it.

Thanks for the asks! 

[fleshphagus]

Im so tired there's no escape its just like we get to be these talking points and examples n the eye of the whole politican spectrum is on us and it seems like everyone else is Going Thru It Right Now Too but especially the Big Name Accounts of the pdx protest scene so my dramatic alcoholic ass is nary a drop in the well and not important or supported or given any concern n fine but like sure ok idk like what, 30k follower account, pray tell what insight do u have about a pretty fucking incredible space n RH tht raised 250k$ that gets the fash from all over the country to travel to and attack with projectiles shouted slurs fireworks, n like. Maybe when will u ever experience this or anything like it

But no, talk about the name people have been fighting about irl, on twitter, etc etc etc like im so tired but i think laura put it really well in a tweet i cant find but "i wish portland would get over never getting to have an autonomous zone" ... the circles around this has been talked about the discourse its eviction defense, they couldnt fence the house so the expanded the area enough so they could. Ill take the half jokes from us about it being an AZ , we know its not we clarify its not, the lefty media say its not like we know i know i know i know i know tiktok voice: We Know

if ur not from here i cant take it stop talking about Portland

Im at my Limit ive been drug behind a horse miles past my limit

"I believe that we will win" didnt work past july, "it is our duty to fight for our freedoms, it is our duty to win" stopped working too i got nothing left

[tired-space-politician]

At this Roboute laughed "I am the greatest threat to the Emperor's ego and position. I would live locked away as a legislation and economic plan generator with Konrad if He had everything go to plan." The older primarch's bitterness evident "And the 2nd and 11th I know are very much alive and carefully hidden away from the Imperium, on planets and in space untouchable and invisible to His mind and eyes." Posture and voice relaxing from their hard tones "I only adopted a significant portion of each of their legions. Mixing their future geneseed with mine so their genetics and appearance would fly under the radar. You can disappear too. I can tell you the necessary conditions if you'd like? And I must correct you, no being has use, but every being can be useful when engaging in their preferred activities."

After a moment of parsing through old and dusty memories, "I believe you quite like to do science yes? So why not focus your efforts on helping the injured and disabled? Do not be obvious with your efforts, simply do them and enjoy the results of seeing those locked to their beds walk and speak again. The Emperor cannot kill off all of the people he supposedly conquered when you are their savoir and loyal exclusively to you. Alternatively you could find your version of Roboute. If he's anything like me he'll be delighted to have a brother less distant, one he can have battles of wits with and a mirror to his own ego. Younger me needed to be taken down a few pegs and reminded of the humility of mundane activities."

Roboute chuckles darkly "I've become so tolerant to the strongest sedatives known to primarch kind that new ones have to be invented for me every few years. I doubt that any drink could make me even slightly tipsy at this points."

Shrugging at his words "If that is what you wish. My presence alone has already changed the course of fate for your time simply because we are talking now. Even if you are forced to forget there exists the greater statistical probability that you will behave differently because the soul does not forget... supposedly... if souls even exist." He was quoting someone. "So I desperately hope that your universe and timeline is a kinder one with more communication and less hissy fits and jealousy on all sides." He sighed, it felt good to get that off his chest "How have you been? I would like to make conversation with you because I never got the chance to properly exchange words and ideas with my Mortarion. You may find that the emperor is intentionally keeping your Roboute, if he exists, as seperate as possible from you and the others."

[tired-space-politician]

Evan knocked on the grandiose ornamented door that he was responsibly sure that the Ecclysiarchy had installed and yelled "HEY BIG DUDE! I BROUGHT PIZZA!"

Roboute opens the door and ushers Evan in, and shoves the noble who was scraping the floor in his office out.

"You are a life saver Ev." Taking the pizza and putting it on the coffee table. "Make yourself comfortable." Roboute certainly was. Peeling off the restricting jacket and kicking off his shoes.

[tired-space-politician]

Nathan stumbled face-first into Roboute, laughing giddily as if it didn't even hurt. @aquilanboyscout

Roboute very gently picked the little boy up "What are you doing here? What misfortune has befallen you that we meet again?" Looking at Nathan's too dilated pupils, red eyes and general unfocused demeanour. "Who drugged you?"

[tired-space-politician]

"Brother, It Has Been Some Time Since We Last Spoke" even when he was alive the primarch that stood before Gulliman had a knack for getting places without anyone noticing him "I See You Have Made A Xeno Ally, Is That No Longer Punishable By Having Your Existence Erased?"

"I.... who... I fear you may have the wrong Roboute Guilliman...." The lord of Macragge looked exhausted.

[tired-space-politician]

"Oh of that I am glad. What I am not so glad about is the fact you've splintered into so many different fascets that I cannot identify if you are from my galaxy or belong elsewhere."

"Oh no. Another one of you!" @tired-space-politician

"Yes, me," Magnus shrugged. "Me, me, me. Is there a problem, dear Roboute? I thought you would be delighted to have one more brother to share your troubles with."

[tired-space-politician]

Meli squeezes her human-sized self into the crowded area under Guilliman's desk. "That bad, huh?" she asks as she leans against Cato and begins to scritch both sets of blunt nails expertly over Roboute's scalp.

"Mnnn." Said Roboute Guilliman.

Cato looked on helplessly. "He's been like this for more than a week. I think he finally lost patience with one of the religious voices."

[tired-space-politician]

Study by: Anton

Subject of study: Roboute Guilliman

Observations:

crying about fluffy moths

Has attempted to pet a moth

Did not squish the moth

Captured the moth. Moth is now in the gardens again

Intentionally walked into a field of native Spectra flora. Is now covered in glow in the dark bees

Attempting to scoop up more sleepy bees.... my primarch is an idiot.

Removed bee from primarch's ear. Bee safely returned to it's hive along with the other bees

[tired-space-politician]

Guilliman got slapped with a golden package, given a nice bow ontop along with Ultramarines symbols too. It was a nice gold and blue, and it was well made as much as he could.

Roboute failed to react to the surprise package, the only part of him that registered it was his now askew laurel.

Cato caught it. Carefully putting it to the side for when his Lord had the spare time and energy.

For the next few days Roboute dithered. Occasionally looking at the package, shaking his head and muttering "Why?" Scans proved that it's contents were not designed to kill anyone.

Finally caving in between meetings, carefully unwrapping the gift so to preserve the paper and bow. It was a calligraphy set. Clearly an effort had been made. The pen was reinforced glass, the paper pleasant to touch if yellowed with age. "Why?" Roboute repeated, tears streaming down his face.

Meetings were cancelled for the rest of the day.
