⚜️❌🪖Average Loyalist Astartes X Sororitas Interaction 3.5 (?) Heresy

But I will say I'm particularly bothered by the prospect it could end up being about Demetrian Titus. That's the worst possible outcome to me. I hope to GOD it's not Titus.

I was trying to figure out why I feel that way. I think it's because when a lot of people first look into Warhammer, their initial assumption is that Astartes are a dumb male power fantasy. Then you peel back 1-2 layers to find it's actually a subversion of the male power fantasy, it's a critique and send-up of patriarchy.

But with Titus/the general vibe of the Space Marine games, it's like...it just is a male power fantasy? It's about being a cool strong dude fighting bad guys with other cool strong dudes and one bitchmade guy tries to ruin your life but, after stoically enduring some trials and tribulations, you surmount his nerd cop bullshit to ultimately become one of the most important cool strong dudes. It kind of embodies everything you hope Warhammer isn't

It feels like it's made with the YouTube Shorts guys in mind. You know?

Lunch Grinding is a manipulative erosion of worker rights both in and out of the workplace. It bypasses legal and contractual standards through informal social pressures which the bosses cannot be held directly accountable for.

Lunch Grinding is named after one of the most common examples. It begins by asking a few employees to skip lunch in order to finish a project. Workers who are already insecure about their position due to economic anxiety will see this as an opportunity to prove they are a good employee. Those who refuse to do so may receive blame for failing to finish the project on time.

The issue becomes compounded when the bosses begin to purposefully schedule less time to complete the same projects. A distinct class begins to appear ignoring their contractual right to a lunch break - who become hostile to those who refuse to work during lunch for being “lazy” or “the reason we didn’t finish on time.”

At this point the management no longer needs to influence anyone directly to work through lunch break, simply by keeping up the sense of constantly being a little late for the project they have ensured the lunch-grinders will apply pressure to their peers who aren’t working through breaks.

As workplace hostility increases towards the “unproductive” members who are expressing their formal right to a break - they will be replaced with new individuals who may not even realize they have the right to a lunch break because working through the hour has become normalized by their peers.

Thus formal written standards from contracts and legal code become functionally non-existent. After which a new standard will be identified by management for erosion some examples include:

+Accepting uncertain hours. +Working off-the-clock. +Staying “On-Call” at all times. +Finishing projects / responding to emails at home. +Never using time off or sick leave.

May the sweetness dry your tears This is an artwork of a focused Vehk attempting to comfort a distressed Ayem by feeding her honey/syrup, i wanted to focus on the relationship between Ayem and Vehk in my headcanons, the particular dynamic of Vehk acting both as crucial emotional support for her yet also like an enabler. I believe they often empathize with each other due to both of them feeling like they are inherently wrong/messed up since birth. They are both quite unstablem but react and cope with it in different ways. While being together cured some of their loneliness, they tend to spread unhealthy habits to each other aswell. Theres a lot of both negative and positive to say about their relationship, they did eventually drift apart and evolve in opposite ways when they reached godhood, but that is for another post.

Oh Vivica, i wish you well
