#what is their ship name... i like them... they are funny

[loving-family-poll]

Okay, I’ve been sitting on this for a while and I need to address something that’s been bothering me for days. I’m officially canceling your poll because it is steeped in classism, and I’m honestly shocked more people haven’t picked up on this.

Like, let’s talk about the pairings here. Every single one of them is a direct reflection of class structures, and it’s honestly disgusting.

Tridentaricest is bad enough, they are literally sci fi romcom royals. Their behavior and lust for power is so deeply drenched in capitalistic symbolism that i don’t feel anything further has to be said unless you are st*pid

let’s talk about Elsa and Anna. They’re the definition of royalty, y’all. Their entire existence is built on a hierarchy that’s literally defined by class privilege. The whole "two white princesses with massive wealth and power" thing is exactly what’s wrong with the entire concept of royalty. Like, you’re shipping classism at its core.

Then we have Geralt and Mikey. I love them as artists, but… come on. They’re superstars. They are rich, powerful, and untouchable. And if you look at it critically, that means they’re literally the embodiment of class privilege. Same with the Oasis brothers—they exist in a fantasy world where wealth and influence are used as tools to shape society.

Not to mention that Klaus and Elijah are literally sons of a billionaire (and I mean, how many of us are related to billionaires? Oh right, none of us).

And then there's Amma and Camille—upper middle class white women with all the privileges that come with it. They have access to resources, opportunities, and safety nets that so many of us could only dream of. Not to mention the cultural hegemony they perpetuate as affluent white women navigating the world.

I mean, come on, this whole poll is just one big glaring reminder that classism is still alive and well in fandom culture, and it’s being romantisized to the point where people don’t even see it. Just admit that you are only doing the “knight in shining armor thing” with an incest twist and delete your account.

So, i guess the only correct pairing here is Cane and Abel—the original siblings who existed before classism even had a name. They didn’t benefit from royalty, fame, or inherited wealth—they existed in a world before social structures took hold. They represent the purest form of sibling love and connection, untouched by classism, colonialism, or capitalist structures.

Sorry, but that’s the tea. The rest of this poll is just a hot mess of privilege, and it’s time we start calling that out. You’re probably never going to post this, because you don’t like hearing the truth but just know that WE know it.

1. Ur so funny let's kiss 2. Geralt ❤️ 3. You didn't say anything about samjohn can we vote for samjohn in a Marxist fashion or does their status as monster cops preclude that

I can’t think of a fancy intro to this so I’ll just be blunt, if Sun is shipped with someone and one of them gets mpreg-ed there’s a 110% chance Sun is the one carrying. I get why (he’s a twink with a more “feminine” personality) but I’d love to see the inverse at least once. There’s a lot of potential in Sun being an anxious but doting soon-to-be dad. He’d insist his partner take it easy in the first trimester and talk to the baby bump a bunch and get whatever his partner is craving. But seriously,

SunClips where get really gets mood swings and a lot more emotional because hormones and Sun just rolls with it

SolarSun where Sun tries to get Solar (the workaholic) to rest and it goes as well as you think

BloodySun where the twins don’t like how vulnerable they are, but trust that Sun will protect them (also I feel like Bloodmoon would crave a very specific animal’s blood mixed with some other liquid)

Idk what the ship name for Sun and Taurus is but the idea of Sun knocking up Taurus is really funny

Ok, so:

Aeonid Thiel is the most pratical Ultramarine I have ever encountered in the Black Library. It’s part of the reason why he’s so unconventional. He is also one of the most cool-headed Ultramarines out there. This is a man who rallies the ship’s crew when the Macragge’s Honor is invaded by daemons, and who gets his dying genesire off of Fulgrim’s ship. So I don’t think Guilliman’s death would have crippled him forever and ever. I think he would continue to serve after Guilliman’s death as one of the top Ultramarine heroes for quite some time before dying gloriously in some spectacular battle. Y’know, the usual named Space Marine character deal.

BUT.

At the same time, there’s no way in hell Guilliman’s death wasn’t a gut punch. Okay, that’s true for all of the Ultramarines at the time, I’m sure everyone who remembered him mourned him for the rest of their lives. But Aeonid Thiel didn’t just know Guilliman; he was one of his closest companions. You see that excerpt in my original post? The whole story is like that. Guilliman is so, so fond and friendly to Thiel (notably, he starts calling him Aeonid pretty quickly), and Thiel responds in kind. There’s this playful back and forth going on between them. And remember, back in Unremembered Empire, Guilliman waves “Aeonid Thiel” (actually an Alpha Legion assassin) through security because he’s so eager to see him, explicitly referring to Thiel as his friend. Which means that Thiel didn’t just lose his genesire at Thessala, he lost one of his dearest friends.

On top of all that, there’s this conversation from Dark Imperium. Bear with me here, this is a long excerpt, but I want you to see the whole thing

‘My lord,’ said Thiel. ‘All this showmanship appears childish, but Fulgrim is dangerous. I remember how he was. By entering, you are playing into his hands. We should not indulge him. We should go on in force and slay him.’ ’I go alone,’ said Guilliman firmly... ’He will want to fight you,’ said Thiel. ‘He will,’ agreed Guilliman. ‘He may ambush you,’ said Andos. ‘That is unlikely,’ said Guilliman. ‘He will want to prove he is better by feat of arms, face to face. It is not enough to kill me. He will want to beat me.’ ‘Either way, he will kill you, my lord. Do not do this,’ said Thiel. Guilliman stared back, his expression hidden by the muzzle of his helmet. ‘I must fight him.’ ‘Do you truly believe you can win?’ asked Thiel. ‘I do not know,’ answered Guilliman after a pause. Thiel looked away and sighed. His helm rendered it as a growl. ‘I fear there is more to your desire to face your brother than practicality, my lord.’ ‘What do you mean by that?’ The ship trembled as a heavy hit burst its way inwards, perturbing the unnatural serenity of the craft. ‘Pride doomed your brother,’ said Thiel simply. ‘Pride undoes the mightiest. Do not be proud, my lord.’ ‘Are you not proud, my son?’ ‘I am proud,’ said Thiel. ‘To be an Ultramarine, to have you as my gene-sire, to have fought with you for so long. But I am not proud enough to let it kill me.’ Guilliman smiled. ‘You have not changed, Aeonid. Fear not – I will not let pride doom me. Stand aside but for the moment. Guard my back. If I cannot best Fulgrim alone in combat, come when I call and we shall give him the honourless death he deserves.’ ‘My lord,’ said Thiel, relieved. ‘It will be so,’ added Andos.

And then Guilliman goes and gets himself killed.

How many times do you think Thiel played that conversation over again in his head after Thessala? How many times did he think, “If I had kept pushing, if I had said XYZ, maybe I could have convinced him to stand down. If I had done better, he would still be here today.” Guilliman is solely responsible for the decisions that put him in front of Fulgrim that day, but survivor’s guilt has a funny way of ruining your logic like that. And mental health services for Space Marines is uhhhhhhh kinda lacking. I don’t think Thiel would’ve ever gotten past that trauma.

But again, Thiel is a profoundly practical man. He would keep doing his job, and doing it well, even as he carries this burden of guilt with him. He still has all his accolades and continues to collect more, he’s one of the best Ultramarines of his generation—but he failed at the most important thing in life. His lord and friend was mortally wounded, and the only thing he did was get him off the ship and into stasis. Galaxy’s most okayest job, amirite?

I picture Thiel bottling it up inside, especially as more time passes. He visits the shrine less and less because it hurts too much to see his gensire in stasis. He stops talking about the stuff him did with Guilliman, and eventually gets hostile when asked about it. It’s just too painful. Word starts going around the chapter to never ask Captain Thiel about Lord Guilliman—he gets spicy when pressed. And so people just kinda stop talking about Thiel and Guilliman. Everyone knows he’s a hero, everyone knows he was one of Guilliman’s companions, but the details start to fade from public memory because they’re so rarely discussed. Eventually Thiel dies, is memorialized as the hero he is, and many younger marines are shocked to learn the extent of his involvement with Guilliman. But even that shock fades away over time. The taboo around Thiel and Guilliman is just too strong. So Thiel is primarily remembered for his deeds after Guilliman’s death—but since the post-Heresy era is a lot more peaceful than the Heresy and the Great Crusade, these deeds are less remarkable. Thiel comes off as just another hero in the public memory, rather than the extraordinary person he was. And even this fades with time, until Thiel is mostly forgotten. Once in a while someone discovers his records in Ultramarine archives and goes, “HOLY SHIT!” Maybe fanboys a bit over him, maybe tries to live up to his example, that sort of thing. But it never goes beyond the one person. And finally, the records themselves are damaged or lost, maybe multiple times, until all records of Aeonid Thiel are lost. Maybe there was a memorial to him, but eventually that gets destroyed in one of the Imperium’s never ending wars. 10,000 years is a long time.

And then, millennia after Aeonid Thiel’s death, Roboute Guilliman is revived, and goes looking for the fate of his closest friend. This is what he finds:

Aeonid Thiel, for example – Guilliman could not discern what had happened to him. Back on Macragge, he had discovered the Second Captain’s name on worn honour plaques in a chapel buried deep under the Fortress of Hera. These suggested that Thiel had survived the battle, but Guilliman did not know for how long. He did not know how Thiel had borne the loss of his primarch. Did he rise above it, or was his life one tormented by guilt?

And that’s all he has left of Thiel: a long-forgotten honor plaque.

So like…he fucked Aeonid after that, didn’t he? Like. We all agree that Aeonid was out of his power pants 30 seconds after that delicate fade to black. We can all assume that Guilliman was specifically inspired to perform cataclysmically good head. What I mean is, the work Guilliman’s plans to do involves serving on the back, and the blowing out thereof.

I've been reading the translated novel version of S-Classes That I Raised, and I remember when I was first reading the webcomic version I was curious about why the ship with Yoojin and Hyunjae was so much more popular than any other ship, since I hadn't gotten very far in yet. I get it now. They won't stop fucking flirting with each other every time they're close enough to exchange words.
