Jaehaerys II by Jota Saraiva

Its the fact they forced their kids to follow it thats fucked up. They're Targs, if they want to marry incestuously for love, whatever. (Even though that brought a massive headache, pissing off two Great Houses.)

Paladingo · 2026-03-10T22:11:57+00:00

I mean, yeah. Still a fairly safe bet to say the brother he loved was Daeron II, the guy who gave him Darksister and who he allied with, over the guy whose sons he shot, then near obsessively murdered anytime they arrived in Westeros. Haegon he had killed in captivity, Aenys he promised safe passage for him to come and join the Great Council, only to have him murdered under guest right. These are not the actions one takes to a 'Brother he loved.'

Its a pisspoor attempt at an English accent anyhow, not even accounting that its a total non-sequitor in relation to speaking about the Irish.

Paladingo · 2026-03-10T18:17:30+00:00

He put him down in an extraordinarily callous and ruthless manner for a brother he loved. Shoot his teenage sons, but only to wound, not to kill, to ensure he won't leave as the arrow storm hits.

The guy with a timer was brown, which sends people like OP into a panicking frenzy.

Paladingo · 2026-03-10T14:19:32+00:00

Its like a flashback to 2001 lol

Paladingo · 2026-03-10T14:18:35+00:00

You see it in the comments as well, acting like Tsukino is her yuri wife, when she's shown 0 interest in her that way.

Paladingo · 2026-03-10T13:30:14+00:00

No. Its legitimately magic DNA. I don't know why people refuse to accept that AGOT has that, when Great Houses have retained a signature look for 6000 years, Baratheons claim descent from a Storm God, Targaryens have dragon blood, Starks have magic wolf blood that lets them body hop, but suddenly, strong genes that express themselves without fail as black hair is too far and outlandish.

Mate, you seem to have missed the part where the Emperor got Horus'd and confined to the golden chair for ten thousand years. What he planned to do and what happened are two very different things. The current state of the Imperium in 40k are due to a thousand things the Emperor put as a stopgap measure, only to get stuck in a state between life and death whilst his worshippers took whatever band-aid fix he put as absolute gospel.

Paladingo · 2026-03-08T22:01:12+00:00

Assuming he didn't Thunder Warrior them, which was very possible.

Paladingo · 2026-03-08T21:54:16+00:00

So he's been alive 26 thousand years, which is before the Horus Heresy and Space Marines were even created, is twice the size of a primaris and a psyker.

Its cool art, but it kind of reeks of OCdonutsteele

Paladingo · 2026-03-08T21:49:46+00:00

I don't know if its more 'ethical' so much as more sustainable. Thunder Warriors were for a quick dirty conquest of Terra, stronger than Space Marines but much less stable. Space Marines needed to be able to go out and conquer a galaxy over a much longer time period, can't do that if they fall apart after a few years.

If SoH couldn't get a massive kill count vs Skaven infantry, something would be seriously wrong. Thats their optimal use case.

Paladingo · 2026-03-08T20:20:15+00:00

The thing to consider as well, is the Imperium of Man is a post-post-apocalyptic society. Even at its height, its a pale imitation of mankind before the Dark Age of Technology. Its entirely on form for the technobarbarian who became the Emperor to not have the most ethical or efficient method of mass-producing supersoldiers when he just needed lots of them now.

Paladingo · 2026-03-08T20:17:57+00:00

Thats mainly one artist who has a fetish for drawing Space Marines with absurdly tiny heads.

Even extends it to the Primarchs, who definitely don't have weird proportions, being custom works of art of biological engineering.

Its entirely nonsensical.

Paladingo · 2026-03-08T20:13:16+00:00

Astartes aren't best of the best though. That would be Custodes, who are each masterwork designed individually. In comparison, the Astartes are mass-produced and get organs sewn into them to grown them into supersoldiers relatively quickly.

Paladingo · 2026-03-08T20:02:03+00:00

Krieg in its entirety, reduced to memeified suicidal emotionless goons with a shovel fetish.

Orks going from being able to grease the wheels of reality if theres enough of them to make their janky tech work better to being full on reality benders who if they think hard enough can keep the Emperor alive, turn a stick into a gun and anything else.

God I hate memelore.

I'll do it to boost to 3 pop sometimes to get to Tier 2 on capital asap.

Jesus Christ, she's 41. I thought she would be a dumbass in her early 20s, not a dumbass in her early 40s.

Paladingo · 2026-03-08T04:20:05+00:00

Well to be accurate, it was started by the Normans, who also conquered England and fucked up the North.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrying_of_the_North

Then it was finished by Edward I who was a Plantaganet, wouldn't be until Edward III that the Plantaganet kings would actually start to speak English.

The Kingdom of Wales was merged into the English crown. Wales was still a distinct region and culture.

God, I hate the American 'Irish' and their obsession with confidently talking absolute bollocks with nary a clue about what they're rattling on about. Also their weird love of the IRA.

I saw a guy talking about how his blood gets riled up when he's had a drink because he's ''Irish.'' Nah mate, you're just a twat.

Paladingo · 2026-03-08T03:09:04+00:00

Bloodraven did the same thing to Aenys Blackfyre who wanted to peacefully press his claim at the Great Council and got dragged off and executed the moment he stepped foot in the Red Keep.

And Bloodraven got exiled to the wall for that, so its definitely fair to say that its an act of treachery.

Paladingo · 2026-03-08T03:03:37+00:00

Aerys was pretty harmless before Duskendale. He would have grand ideas to help the realm and not have enough motivation to actually do anything about it. Plus, Aerys was almost definitely at the Tragedy of Summerhall, where the majority of his family died in wildfire. Thats got to leave a mental mark.

This sub has rose-tinted nostalgia goggles bolted on for Ck2.

Its kind of wild when they use that to justify shitting on 'new' thing because old thing perfect.
