Why did no one tell me how beautiful this man was.
I just wanted to ask a question for anyone who reads, but especially fanfic. If the main character or a side character has the same name as you or someone you know, does it turn you off the fic.
I'm gonna throw up a poll so yall can decide
Why must I live to feel alive, why can't I just exist and have that be enough.
It feels so weird to be alive in a world that tries to convince you that you're not.
i have an iron grip on my couch watching these vampire girls in van helsing (2004)
This time only the traitor primarch, bcs I want to go deeper in the HC. Cor the sake of "how do they get babies", I will go and say that Big E wanted them to have heir for some reasons, and in his usual fashion, just sprang random tube babies on them.
Konrad: He was already unhappy to be a father to a bunch of semi-responsable adult. He's gonna FREAK OUT at having at baby. He's really bad at it, but at least he has the common sense to admit it and ask for help. The problem is that he's suronded but other psycho weirdo. The child is actually quite happy, as they get away with everything and happen to be super spoiled. Every night lord adore them and are just so! Excited!! To teach the kid how to stab people!!! Surprisingly a social kid, and that's mostly Sevatar influence, as he half raised them. It make for a lot of hilarious situation, and their dad is really confuse by it. The only creature in existence that will hapily sit on Konrad knee. Doesn't understand the concept of fear. Or of social nicety. Or of gender. Probably nibble on cut fingers for his afternoon snack. Somehow, manage to be one of the cutest primarch baby. Very chubby too, because Konrad grew up in food insecurity, and it trigger deep fear in him. Grew up to be an absolute lil monster, who fit in perfectly with his family. They are just a bit sad that they can't seem to befriend other kids their age, or the various cousins they have.
Mortarion: he love his kid so much. The kind of tender quiet love where he keep a stack of letter for his kid to read when they are older. He never use a baby voice with them, and never really shy away from the harsh reality of life. Love working with his child in the same room, and offer them just. So many books. An incredibly bright and clever kid, who probably prefer spending time with adult than other kids. Still, Mortarion really worry that he can never offer them what they deserve, and that his legions is just... Not the best environment for a child. Very, very gradually, he get them away, spend more time at the golden palace or with other legions. It break his heart in a millions pieces, but he fully think that they would be better away from him. Said kid does grew up in a wonderful person, and does come around from time to time to hang out with their distant but loving father.
Magnus: God that one is complicated. See, Magnus is a good guy. A great guy even! And he does care a lot for his sons! But they are adults. They are smart, logical being. A child, a baby, is not logical at all. It's not that Magnus dislike them at all, he just is.... Disinterested in them. He can't really have deep conversations or anything with a baby, and he's always so busy. Probably figure very quickly how to cradle and rock them psychically, wich he find smart because hey, now he has his hands free and can fo other things!! The problem is that him and the child develop no attachment to each others, and it only get worst as the time goes on. Of course he love the child, it's a biological impulse, but he also over analyse his own feeling and doesn't have to instinctive impulse and feeling that he should get. Meanwhile, the child grow more and more contrarian toward Magnus, making the gap in understanding between them only grow. By the time they hit teenage years, they are downright frosty with one another, and Magnus is lowkey at a lost how he got there. Especially since his kid is "finally" starting to be interesting and have good convo, and he's actually paying attention to them now. This is the last straw, and said child just. Demand emancipation and move out.
Lorgar: He didn't sleep the first night he got his baby. He sat in silence, holding them in his room, as they slept in his arm. And in that moment, he realised that he would never, ever raise his hand on them. That he would rather die before doing that. It was an earth shattering revelation, and he probably cried a bit, realising that he has a LOT of issues, and that he was going to have a lot of problem going forward. He himself feel trapped in his own environment he made, with Erebus and Kor Phaeron who just keep advising him on how to handle his child. He ignore them at the best he can, but he also has extreme anxiety on leaving the kid alone with anyone. If they have to be babysat, he will go out of his way to let his own brothers care for his child and not his legions. He love his sons, but he know they would also obey Erebus and his horrible father. In spite of that, he raise his kid in his religion, and make sure that no one can reproach anything to them. As they turn teenager and start to questions and rebel a lot more, he has to get in rather ugly argument and fight with everyone around him to protect his child. Eventually the kid just... Want to go away and renonce their faith, and sure, it made Lorgar hearth brake, but at the same time, his child was free. Probably sent them to Roboute or Corvus, to their great confusion. They don't talk for a few years, because religious trauma take time to process, but they do come back to talk to their loving dad, when they eventually realised the amount of sacrifice Lorgar has done for them.
Perturabo: All his life, he wanted to be the first choice, the number one, to be loved unconditionally. The first time he held his kid, realised that this lil innocent human loved him without question, he decided that his entire life was dedicated to them now. He would burn down the universe before letting harm happen to his baby. Never, ever loose his tamper with them, and has a very hard time not just.... Holding them everywhere. Co sleeping is very much happening. He actually become a better person for his child, a lot more social and a bit more mellow on his legion. The kind of dad who show you his entire photo album of his kid after talking to you for 5 minute. They stay very close and in general he's in the running for dad of the year. Get every drawing they ever produce framed and put on display. Organise the best birthday party. That kid is so happy, has such a brilliant and wonderful life, you know they become friend with a lot of the other, fast. Perturabo actually tell them, once they are older, that they are the best thing to have ever happened in his life. Full stop. They became a better person, and raised a wonderful kid. Yall know big E is patting himself in the back for that one.
Angron: This is just cruel. Giving a child to Angron, while he has the nail, is straight up torture. He love kids, alright? Adore them. He would have had many if he could. But he know he's not a competant father right now, and he's so scared of accidentally hurting them, or that one of his sons will. As a result, the child is raised collectively, as much by space marines than the human crew. Very young, they understood that their dad had problem in his brain, and that it's not that he doesn't love them, he's just sick. They never miss on love tho, as there is always someone to play with and care for them. Very early on, they develop an interest in medicine and helping others, and the day when a 10 years old say to Angron that they want to become a doctor so they they can heal their father and legion's brothers? Angron cry ok. He adore that pure little soul, and cannot beleive that he was blessed with such a sweet child. Very touch receptive, they were raised in a legions where most have occasional fits where talking is near impossible, and as such, hugging and physical touch became very common. They also figured are the one to figure out that sign language is not affected by the nails!!
Horus: The funny dad. You know, like those classic silly sitcom dad, who don't always understand what is going on with their kid but gosh do they love them. Shower them in praise, and probably push them into all sort of activities and hobby. He's raising them with Sanguinius' one, making them a lil family of 4. Horus consider both child like his owns, and both kids see them as parents, and consider each other twins. The child specifically from Horus does start having issues as a teen, mostly of the rebelious, "i don't want to be like my dad" kind. Nothing super major, but they have a tendancy to sneak out and go have fun with like, the human crew. Horus want to be more mad, but he does recognise himself a lot in that child, and he has another kid to also care for. They reaaally love having 1 on 1 bounding activity tho, like sparing or piloting small spaceship. Probably the most alike of all parent/kid duo. There is a lot to be said, but it mostly relate to their twin sibling and the family unit as a whole with Sanguinius. That said, Horus child is VERY clingy of his "twin", and when they were young, refused to be separated from them.
Alpharius/Omegon: I love those two. I love their legion. It CANNOT be a good environment to raise a child, I'm sorry. You can't just Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss your kid into joining the super spys, this is not how this work. The amount of tantrum that kid would throw early one, from growing up in an unstable environment... Yeah no. They feel no emotional connection to the child, at all. Not only that, but you know they have a tendancy to put work before family, and again, that put the kid in a bad place. They are barely a pre-teen when they have one final meltdown, screaming that they hate them, and wants nothing to do with the family and the legions. And the twins... Sadly, they never really wanted a child. It's almost a relief to send them away. They are clearly much more happy living in a stable environment, and as such, straight up avoid their father(s) from that point in. They are never really able to like one another.
Fulgrim: See that baby, and decide that this child is now their #1 priority. Somewhere between a dance mom and a karen, Fulgrim is also raising that kid with Ferrus, and thank god for that. He's very competant... But also, at the same time, only want the best for them. And that include the kid giving their best. The child mention like drawing exactly once? Paint master are brought in to teach them, and only the most luxurious of material are used. He knew what it's like growing up and having nothing, with no opportunity, and he never want his child to feel that way. A big problem is that his various anxiety also reflect on the kid, who get his own helping, and they just end up having monstrous, screaming argument at one another over like, the best color for a throw pillow. They both run very high on emotions and love one another very much, they just have a hair trigger tamper. Ferrus keep the peace between them, with his own kid. The two sibling don't see themself as twins, Ferrus child was declared the "oldest" by virtue of being taller. The two siblings bicker a lot, but it's in good humour.
.... God damn I wrote a novel. Idk, just. Parenthood inspire me I supose lmao. At this point im almost making oc.
(for the anon that was so patient <3)
I have baby brainrot, I just love kids so much, and this is devolving in it's own lil au I supose lmao. Big E definitely made the babys in test tub and sprang them in his kids, because he's an idiot with no self control.
Lion: His first reaction, upon being handled a baby, is to ask if he really has to keep it. Then to ask if any of his sibling want an extra child. When he realise he TRULY is stuck with his kid, he goes back to Caliban, set up an entire team with tutors and nannies, and just... Leave them there. He come by semi often, but he's never an actual father to that child. He never had any parent, and in his opinion, he turned fine. He don't see why he has to work for it when he provide a safe environment for the child... Wich does fuck the kid up quite a bit. They also grow into a cold, distant person, and don't see why they should have any attachment to their father. Surprisingly, those two sociopathe work together in a pretty great way when the child turn into an adult, you just could never guess that they are technically a family.
Leman: He get a baby girl. And it's Daddy's lil princess. She's so spoiled, and loved, and quite overprotected. He often joke that he will have to kill any potential bf she has. But with time... Things become strained. She love her dad! She really, really do!!! But. He doesn't want her to grow up!!! The galaxy is a scary place, and he is so sure that he know what's best for her. She can't go on the battlefield, what if she got *hurt*?!? Wich is very awkward, as she is his wild daughter, riding like a valkyrie and wanting freedom. She's also a hothead, and would scream at her poor confused father about how much he dosn't respect her. They still makeup after every argument, usually by having a fun daughter/Father hunting adventure together.
Vulkan: He love his baby. But the thing is... He loves his sons too, and every humans to some extend. He is always so, so busy. He drag his child with him!!! As much as he can!!! But it's so insanely hard to get one on one time with them. The kid understand, really, they have the patience of a saint. They get that their dad has protect everyone. Become a very compassionate, if slightly sad child. Eventually as an adult, they do express their issues, how they wished that their father had been around more... But they forgive poor Vulkan. It hurt more when he's not there, because when he is, he's the best. He came from a large family, and always loved taking care of kids. Hia child is probably bff with Perturabo's and Angron's ones, making a sweet trio.
Corvus: She is a bit unsure on how to raise them at first as a baby... And unintentionally, she mimic a lot of behavior the her twin, Konrad, is also doing: Raising them collectively with the legion, letting them be a part of the family, focus on their culture, giving all the food... The baby might become a bit weird, as they talk like they are reciting poetry at all time, but they are one of the most well adjusted ones. The one thing that is very surprising is how much Corvus nieces, nephews and niblings just... Seem to adore her and constantly show up. It is partly because she bakes so much, and partly because she is the only "aunt" of the family, a nice feminine presence in this sea of testosterone. She gracefully accept this role.
Ferrus: his kid (who got big boy energy) consider himself to be the "eldest" sibling of their family, and love making fun of Fulgrim's child. The do play fight a lot, but it's never serious. As himself.... He is. So chill. He got the detachment of Ferrus, with the personal insight of Fulgrim. He treat problem like just another part of life. Super into things like philosophie and psychology, he's probably one of those that enjoy spending time with Grandpa Big E the most. When asked about his interest, he simply said that he's perfect mix of his two parents: He like knowing how things work, and he like people. As such: learning how people works. Very tall and handsome, look a lot like Ferrus, if he smiled more. Ferrus is very close to his kid, and love listening to him happily infodump on his various special interest.
Sanguinius: Oh that child. Is perfect. Born as the prettiest baby, who never made a fuss, who was always smiling. They are the smartest and prettiest and the most talented kid in the galaxy. And Sanguinius, the fool, keep saying to them ever. Single. Day. He's so!!! Proud of them!!! Of how perfect and gifted they are!!!! But then one day, the kid is a teen.... And they tried to do a thing. And failed. And were just unable to do it. And it made them break down. Living in the shadow of Horus and Sanguinius, of being the person that people just expect everything off, is so damn hard. The pressure was too much, and Sanguinius then also had a meltdown realising his expectations fucked up his baby. Hapily, his child as a wonderful twin in the person of Horus' brat, who will do EVERYTHING for his sibling, to make them comfortable and ok with themself again.
Roboute: first, I can only imagine Roboute having a baby boy, don't ask me why. And listen... He love his son. So much. But he got McFreaking CURSED with the worst hellraiser of the gang. I'm talking "sneak aboard spaceship at 6" level of ridiculous. It give him grey hair. At the same time... He wouldn't change anything about his child for all the gold in the world. He actually sat down his child when he was 5 and told him, with all the seriousness he could manage, that he could become and do anything he ever wanted, Roboute would love him anyway. And he intent on keeping up those words. Meanwhile, the kid is like, a rogue trader in the making, and probably has warrants to his name in a few systheme... But he still adore his dad. They tease each other a lot, Rob calling his son a rascal, and said kid calling his dad a boring old man. They have the same smile and deadpan humour.
Jaghatai: Jaghatai... Is not very sure how he's supposed to handle a baby, in very praticals way. How do you change them??? Is horse milk appropriate??? Why are they so small!!! He does make mistake, and is too stubborn to ask for help. He's lucky that a few of his sons came from large family, and still remember how to do all those things. He's not very attached at first at the little crying machine... But the older they get, the more loving he become. The first time he put them on a lil child sized bike??? Oh god. He may have cried a bit. And things only get better from there. When they turn into a teenager, they have a wonderfully communicative and close relationship. Sure, the kid has some HEAVY wanderlust, and a lot of people think Jaghatai should be a bit more strict with him... But he trust them. They are a good kid, and if they ever need help, he will be there for them.
Rogal: Listen. There might be a few manual on how you are suposed to raise kids... But at some point, you have to be adaptable. Rogal is not. He created a "perfect" schedule on how to raise his kid, and the fact that it's hard to respect is just frustrating. Clearly he is doing something wrong, but he can't figure out what!!! It can't be that hard can't it??? Normal humans do it all the time!! The kid grow up to be a neurotic mess, and is never able to properly express their emotions toward their father. By a stroke of luck (and maybe some of Guilliman pushing), rogal's child is bff with Roboute's son, and he get SOME exemple of what communication is like.
