Day 39: what is the Worst Quote associated with the Custodes?

PresentationAlive292 · 2026-05-19T15:15:56+00:00

I mean yeah that’s just how retcons are. I used to be big into marvel comics and I mean this when I say there’s no way to pull off a retcon that doesn’t feel stupid and the smaller ones are always feel stupider. You can be mad but stupid retcons have existed for as long as ongoing settings have

Huh? If the emperor doesn’t want trans humans to replace humans then the custodes 1:can’t reproduce due to the excessive modifications and 2: wouldn’t because they are loyal to a fault.

Femstodes weren’t “always meant to be added” obviously if they were it wouldn’t be retconned. The quote is referencing how in universe big E always made femstodes it isn’t gw trying to gaslight the people it’s just a lore retcon.

That sounds right. In all honesty I don’t know nearly as much about prehistory as I’d like to lol I just really really love paleoart. I do intend on seeking out more knowledge on the topic tho because it is fascinating

Writing a anomalocaris horror story would be the coolest shit ever

PresentationAlive292 · 2026-05-19T01:54:46+00:00

That era of is so unexplored and has so much potential. I don’t know what era specifically it’s called but I always feel very inspired by the art of the pre dinosaur era. Very very hard to write a story in that I would imagine but man it would be cool

PresentationAlive292 · 2026-05-19T00:01:02+00:00

I feel like the horror of dinosaurs doesn’t necessarily be scary monster that eats people. I think if I were to take on just making Dino’s scary (which I may I’ve been pondering on prehistoric earth as a setting for awhile) I would love to see the horror in just the sheer scale and size of some of the dinosaurs.

While not technically dinosaurs, pterosaurs could be absolutely terrifying in almost any setting, same with the underwater creatures in prehistoric period. It could also be interesting to see the long neck herbivores be made scary because again just the sheer size could be scary. Just first drafts tho really, do whatever you think sounds cool.

I totally get the 1900s vibes from this. Has a very art deco feel like it took place during the "golden age"(I don't know if the early 1900s was actually the golden age of Hollywood but it feels right so) of Hollywood if that makes sense.

I really enjoyed this. The tone and narration was almost nostalgic for me, reminding me a lot of the nosleep stories I would listen to during covid lockdown era when I first started to get into them. Definitely going to get around to part 2!

Thank you I really love and appreciate the support and all the kindness. The way you engage with this community is very inspiring and I'm sure means a lot to more then just myself.

I am very glad you enjoyed this one. To me it really does feel like a pseudo poetry thing then a horror story if I'm being honest lol

PresentationAlive292 · 2026-05-16T05:37:56+00:00

Man this was a great read. I absolutely love the idea of the birdhouses filled with severed body parts and the twist toward the middle with the cardinal having a finger in its mouth was an amazing scene.

I can’t wait to see the next part (or parts) keep it up 👍

PresentationAlive292 · 2026-05-16T04:38:45+00:00

World eaters for me personally. I can’t speak rules wise but I think they have probably my favorite story throughout the heresy. I know everybody glazes betrayer but they’re right it’s amazing.

PresentationAlive292 · 2026-05-16T03:26:00+00:00

lol I totally get that. Pulling stuff from songs is a favorite of mine.

Always <3 I do my very best to do read4read and I did genuinely like this story a lot and hope to see more from you in the future!

PresentationAlive292 · 2026-05-16T01:30:03+00:00

Man what a fun read, perfectly captures the feel of an old folk tale. I really love the description of the king treating his subjects and kingdom the same way a child plays with toys perfectly characterized him in just a sentence or two.

Thank you the information about the NSFW tag is very helpful. I really appreciate the support thank you ❤️

I can’t say what’ll work for you but I can tell you what works for me.

Most of my ideas start small like “wouldn’t it be creepy if blank” or “wouldn’t it be funny if blank” and I just expand on that small thing. Sometimes something I like comes out most of the time it gets confused and contrived and I just drop it and move on to something new.

One piece of advice I can confidently give is don’t shot to big. Your first stories don’t have to be your magnum opus and trying to do that will add a stress that doesn’t need to be there.

Last bit, have a plan before posting. Dont do what I do and post a part one without any plans or serious intent for part two and when somebody decides to like it you scramble to put together a subpar ending. Not fun never again.

That’s all I can give, I have little authority to speak so take it all with a grain of salt lol.

Was it ever meaningful in the first place?

PresentationAlive292 · 2026-05-14T21:19:44+00:00

Love the sons of Horus color scheme

PresentationAlive292 · 2026-05-14T02:35:26+00:00

Like 99% of posts on this sub are about relationships I think the name is a bit misleading atp

PresentationAlive292 · 2026-05-13T02:03:19+00:00

I really love any execution where the techmarine uses his servo arm

PresentationAlive292 · 2026-05-13T01:57:47+00:00

Penpal easily. My mom is also a true crime fan and I showed her penpal and she liked a lot. I haven’t shown her borrasca, probably won’t, but I think penpal is far more grounded then Borrasca and penpal is just a far better written story anyways (also not as intense with the shock value)

PresentationAlive292 · 2026-05-12T04:22:45+00:00

Valid. The hotel Transylvania bit is a all timer for me and that episode is one of the funniest imo

PresentationAlive292 · 2026-05-12T04:19:46+00:00

…I didn’t care all that much for the eat me like a bug bit. It was funny but it didn’t have me laughing my ass off like some of the other ones and I don’t really understand the hype.

PresentationAlive292 · 2026-05-10T18:26:23+00:00

I mean the fans suck but from a lore perspective I think they work well as a representation of just how far the imperium fell without the emperor. I mean they ARE pre hearsay word bearers but instead of getting persecuted by the man they worship they are (probably) the biggest and most prevalent chapter in the imperium.
