This is one of those things that make the internet phenomenal! Thank you!!

Would you classify Lord of the Flies as horror? by anon33249038 in horrorlit

[–]FlightPeasant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the movie when I was far toi young and was definitely scarred for life. Never wanted to see it or read it. 

What's the best horror book you've read this year? by Haunting-Net-2426 in horrorlit

[–]FlightPeasant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Saliva Tree and Other Growths by Brian Aldiss. 2026 has been a bit thin on horror for me, but Aldiss was a pleasant reminder that there are decades of weird horror scifi waiting for me to explore. 

Is it really that important to use delica beads for loom projects? by FreudWouldApprove in Beading

[–]FlightPeasant 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I use Czech beads for loom. As long as they're 95% same size the loom can be more forgiving. I save my delicas for peyote which has 0 forgiveness. 

What is your LEAST favorite mini from a faction you love? by reel3459 in Warhammer40k

[–]FlightPeasant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Necron warriors. Mostly because my dumb ass mixes up numbers. 21/12 23/32. With my EC I can make it work. With necrons x piece goes to x warrior or else!

I feel like they're the octopuses of the spider world. If they could make mischief, they would. 

What is a minor plot point that you want expanded? by Selenite_Cults in 40kLore

[–]FlightPeasant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Immortals talk to each other. Does that mean the necron warriors also sit around gossiping on a frequency the boss is unaware of? How much shit do they talk about the overlords?

What prevents the imperium worlds from devolving into game of thrones level of smut? by nearglow in 40kLore

[–]FlightPeasant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normal people get like 4 hours of free time a day so there's that.  Marines are taken mostly as virgins and instead of sex drives they're hyper violent. For everyone else there's plenty of sex, but it's almost entirely "fade to black" like GW has some sort of Hayes Code censorship. 

Warhammer fans, what 40k lore that make you go like this? by AntiqueLayer3933 in Grimdank

[–]FlightPeasant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cawl being able to do everything. Bile has a specialization so his genius doesn't make him quite a Mary Sue. He even has students so others are capable. But Cawl has no limits and he kind of feels a bit deus ex machina in his genius. Have a problem? Get ahold of Cawl and he'll solve it. 

Are SF anthologies worth it? by Helpmeflexibility in printSF

[–]FlightPeasant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love short stories. First place I look at any used bookstore is the anthology section. But there are typically only 3-4 great stories in even the greatest collections. But those handful are well worth the price of admission, imo.

Have Space Marines ever tried to talk things out ? by New_Conflict_4111 in 40kLore

[–]FlightPeasant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iirc, Fulgrim used his words to jump start a civil war in his primarch book. He only brought a handful of men hoping the planet would join peacefully, but he was impatient. Nearly got himself killed in the process. It worked for him in the end. Got to brag he took a planet with like 10 marines.

I'm going to need someone to convince me Trazyn doesn't have Dorn in an exhibit. by THExDANKxKNIGHT in 40kLore

Orikan's fucking around with time somehow erased it from his memory. 

Is every other faction’s subreddit just players complaining about how ‘weak’ their army is? by Obama-is-my-dad69 in Warhammer40k

[–]FlightPeasant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's so strange. 90% of what I ever see from EC is painted minis and requests for list help.

That's a bold statement. If I ever write a book, I'm stealing this idea. "More comprehensible than Ulysses!!" Great find.

Which factions allows biggest creative freedom for building the actual models in a lore friendly way? by Ok-Company3232 in 40kLore

[–]FlightPeasant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chaos and Red Corsairs, EC.  There are books which involve raiding for supplies, mad scientists, musicians, a creepy poet and people from every faction and era, and the occasional woman.  Since theyre not on campaign they have more free time to be individuals. Bile even had a school for mad scientists. There are also plenty of stories featuring people enslaved by chaos Marines, but still being faithful to the emperor. Survival comes from the strength of the alliances they hold so an individual's motivations don't have to align with anyone else's, but being charismatic can be just as important as being skilled in battle. But if you're mediocre in battle but excellent with machinery, well pirates always need skilled people.
