The Death of the Neophytes by [REDACTED], Remembrancer of the XI Recovered by [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and Juno Guilliman, from the lost ship [REDACTED]

Hi this is one of my lost primarchs. His name is Medea and you'll never guess what happens to his kids :)

Utumno style?!!

ok so this is kinda rough but hear me out what if utumno style was really bombastic and baroque-esque in an archaic way because they have all the riches they can ever get and theres literally no one can rival them in middle earth? and the theatricality? Kind of like the golden age??

it can be over the top can be messy and ugly because the form language may be going everywhere but they arent supposed to be so artistically refined anyway??? (its nice you can always justify any vulgary and ugliness and bad taste here if any of it shows up)

(and then it goes downhill and militarized and becomes more practical in angband style)

(this is actually insp from a chat with AD yesterday who went for an hour long rant on how GoT and Dune didnt do dothraki & fremen designs justice lol their styles shouldve been much more colorful per his opinion) (And I actually sent him Jack Lowden's FA sauron asking what does he think that they made it very Roman.. He said Roman's were the enemies!! (in perspective, haha)) (and they are both an empire that last for a millenium/millenia.. makes sense ya)

side note: the crown looks so crude? what if melkor made it lmao (so sweet). or maybe this is some type of naturalistic aesthetics. Mairon def has skills to finess it more, so its either not made by him or its deliberate (smiling face)

anyway thanks for reading my word vomit

Fulgrim with consorts

Since he's the only primarch who has been married -multiple times, prolly simultaneously- I think it's not unreasonable to imagine him freely enjoying the company of women once he got more power to devote himself to the enjoyment of all things beautiful ,,,

Ending up on a torture throne as a skeleton sounds pretty metal

From the chapter "The Celebration"

[thefandomexpert]

Me when I give the league of legends show a chance because my friend says it's good and I go in expecting an overrated wet fart and I'm slowly forced to acknowledge that it has layered and interesting characters, incredible art direction and animation, deeply engaging political intrigue and gripping drama and I realize that despite any flaws it may have it's ultimately one of the most mature and well rounded pieces of animated television I've ever seen come out of the western world and I end the most recent episode sitting leaned forward staring at the TV actively crying at 5 am

I'm so fucking mad

While the Metroid (1986) and Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (1987) are usually cited as the founding texts of the metroidvania genre, not without reason, there were actually part of a much larger wave of 2D side-scrolling platformers featuring nonlinear, inventory-gated open worlds that were all released in the same three or four year span.

Some are fairly well known, like Blaster Master (1988) and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (1987). Others are more obscure these days, like Faxanadu (1987) or The Maze of Galious (1987). There doesn't seem to be any one game that started it – it was an idea whose time had come, and suddenly it was everywhere at all at once.

Of course, given that the genre was just beginning to take shape, there are also a lot of weird edge cases that might or might not be first-generation metroidvanias, depending on how you define your terms. Ultimately, checklists of tropes are perhaps a less relevant metric than which games participated in the creative dialogue that produced what would eventually be labelled the metroidvania.

Which finally brings me to the question I actually want to throw out:

Is DuckTales (1989) a first-generation metroidvania?
