#ff lore

I don't know your lore, so I wanted to ask: How did you discover Fulgrim and your love for Slaaneshs favourite snekboi? Was it love at first sight?

I don't remember exactly how it happened? I loved the Adeptus Mechanicus first. I think I was just jerking around on reddit and stumbled upon a meme thread with many gay jokes and Fulgrim was front and center.

It was love at first sight. I identified with him. A lot of his dealings with the laer blade line up with mine and unmedicated bipolar 1. His obsession with perfection mirrored mine. And the loss of Ferrus... I had just gone through the death of a relationship myself.

I often say that if I had found Sanguinius first, my life trajectory would have changed considerably. My catholic imagery/vampire combo fetish is more powerful than one might think.

Soul Almanac Entry - Brownies

Rank: SR

Type: Magic

While rare, Brownie Souls are well-known for their loyal and steadfast natures, and despite presenting themselves with a quiet disposition, they make powerful warriors. Suited to various environments, Attendants with a Brownie in their fold are highly valued in military operations.

Commonly found taking the role of butlers. If butlers carry laser artillery and hiss at anyone who stains the carpet.

Their behaviour seems to match those of “brownie” creatures from old folklore.

Like folklore “brownies”, they get pissy when spurned and turn cream sour.

They hyperfixate on tasks and are completionists. Keep an eye on them or they may collapse from exhaustion.

Calm, collected and proud.

Possess cat-like traits of varying degrees. Some become full Nekites, but no full-on cats though. They probably like the work too much to throw that away.

Formidable fighters. Quick and agile.

Weaponry consists of either laser cannons or snipers, but as powerful as they are, their most devastating attacks need charging, which takes time.

Blondies are similar but not identical. They have lighter colours and have more childish and emotional personalities.

In depth version of the “brief history”: link to post

Let’s look at some Candy Cane history. Why is she listed as American when her namesake is actually German? I think it has to do with the kind of candy cane she is. I’m no candy historian, however, I trust the articles I’m citing are reliable sources.   

Now let’s start off with Candy Cane’s nationality in the game.

According to her description, she’s listed as being from the United States. This is most likely because the common candy cane we know today was invented just about 100 years ago. Even the shape is recent, due to a specially designed machine by Father Gregory Keller. Keller’s machine helped to give candy canes their trademarked shepherd's cane shape. The stripes on the candy cane are fairly new in its 300-500 year existence; the earliest ones were long white sticks of sugar with no decorations on them at all. Bob McCormack is credited with popularizing the red-striped design during the 1950s when his factories were able to create over half a million per day. [SOURCE]

Now let’s look back at Candy Cane’s description: “A candy maker in Indiana wishes to make a candy for god to witness. He thus used many symbols pertaining to gods and combine them in a mere candy cane. This created the modern day candy cane we can find anywhere during Christmas.” [SOURCE]

Candy canes were not, in fact, made in Indiana. If we are being true to the original white peppermint stick, candy canes are a German creation dating back to the 17th century. However, even if citing our Candy Cane as the modern striped one, she still wouldn’t have been an Indianian creation. According to another source, the American introduction to candy canes was from August Imgard, a German-American immigrant who had also introduced the tradition of decorated indoor Christmas trees in Ohio. He decorated the tree with paper ornaments, cookies, and traditional white stick candy canes. [SOURCE]

i dunno why he was introduced and then just shoved away. i personally have a lot of questions about the elves he might help with, like a lot a lot. most have to do with how much did the elves leave behind that humans co-opted, or if they destroyed it/hid it knowing humans are…. terrible, honestly.
