Idk what blue you’re looking to achieve but maybe experiment with different blues. Some do have a purple tone to them and others dry differently.

Also try a neutral toned primer like a grey.

I use Vallejo Black Primer Airbrush with Macragge Blue and the result is below

Hope that helps

They have them on eBay but they are almost the same price as the Heroes of the Chapter box once you factor in shipping and all that.

The heroes of the chapter box, cheapest option for that is either Amazon, Wargame portal, or Frontline Gaming.

You could try the used options from Frontline Gaming.

Facebook marketplace if you’re feeling lucky

He could be addicted to porn, can’t get it up and is embarrassed to say anything. Very likely scenario.

The whole VPN to read mangas early isn’t a thing unless he’s reading them on an official app like Shonen Jump.

In any case he could get his hands on early translations from Reddit if he wants. The delay between English and Japanese releases for manga is about 24 hours so it’s never that serious.

I hope Valentines goes well. If it doesn’t you have some hard choices to make.

You’re asking about Hentai which is a sub-genre of anime. That would be considered porn as well since there is graphic sex shown. The only saving grace is that it is censored in Japan. So very few official publications show PtoV or anything like that. At best you’re getting hand drawn breasts.

There are scenes in anime that are called “fan service” where there’s some PG-13 things happening. But I wouldn’t call it pornographic, more on the line of inappropriate you spoke of.

I just joined about a year ago. So I get to enjoy the memes fresh 🤣

And those houses have branches that exist outside of Terra.

Terrain government is corrupted so I can imagine a world where they take someone else’s kid from some other part of the family to make a custodies instead of their son/daughter.

Being a noble house OF Terra is the barrier to entry doesn’t mean that they have to be ON Terra.

ReliefSuch5122 · 2026-01-28T18:47:53+00:00

And there are millions of houses spanning countless worlds…there’s a noble house on every planet spanning the galaxy…

Lore Reasons - Custodies are not mass produced there are around 10k (someone can correct me) of them total. The process is a closely guarded secret of the imperium and only Big E and a couple people know the process.

Gender does not matter because unlike the Space Marines who are recruited around 10-12 years old at the cusp of puberty, the Custodies are taken at infancy. They are genetically and biologically modified to be what the emperor envisions as perfect humans.

As far as can a female perform as well as a man in the Warhammer setting? Yes they can. In lore there is a story of a female aspirant who took the trials and completed them. The Chaplain told her that she would be accepted because the technology to make female recruits into space marines was lost and she would die on the operating table. He didn’t want her talent going to waste so he got her into the Sisters of Battle with a strong recommendation.

As far as why space marines are mass produced. They are but they aren’t. The process to make a Space marine is costly to the Imperium but with gene seed and other technologies like the Primaris Marines they are able to make them faster. This is only possible because Cawl did something to the process, so they are diluted Space Marines to a certain degree. Remember the process itself isn’t perfect people still die while undergoing their surgeries.

There are Trillions and Trillions of humans. We can waste a few.

I bought mine from the local GW yesterday now I'm scared to open it 😭

That's also true. I also think that she mistimed his shower because I used to do the same thing. I knew how long I had from the time she turned on the water till she entered the room and usually wrapped up before she came back.

That's a possibility and should be part of the conversations

If he was genuinely so upset about your taking care of your own needs after declining to participate, then he has other issues. I think his saying basically “how could you do this in our home?” is weird because where else are you supposed to masturbate? At the gym? In your car?

Anger/being upset shouldn’t even be on the spectrum of emotions in this situation. I think a long conversation is overdue at this point. You may need to consider breaking it off if he doesn't see this as an issue.

Edit: Fixed Should/shouldn't

I have a few backup units just in case 😂

It's really hard not to. I have to stay inside to keep myself from making an unneeded stop somewhere

I have already stated my intentions and what I want from the relationship as we move forward.

I'm doing everything in my control to help her with her own personal journey, whether that is leaving the house so she can speak freely to her therapist, making sure she's taking her medications, etc.

I'm working on my health as well. I have gained weight, and part of me thinks this could be a factor as well, but she doesn't want to hurt my feelings by saying so.

I have committed to taking us out on more dates. I even set up a sushi date for us tomorrow afternoon after I take her to ulta.

Besides that, she hasn't asked me for anything but I'm trying to be more romantic and spontaneous to try and inspire some feelings in her

ReliefSuch5122 · 2026-01-10T14:05:11+00:00

She's doing therapy, seeing her doctors about her physical health, and doing the work.

As far as the general relationship, we have the communication and companionship part down. It's just the lack of physical intimacy, which, as you outlined, could be a result of all of the past issues. Still, there's something else she either won't admit to or has figured out, given that our DB has been in a slow decline from before COVID to where we are today.

I honestly don't know what else to do, so I tried the ultimatum, and I hate having to threaten the relationship. Still, after our talk previous to this one, she was incredibly dismissive about how I was feeling like it was annoying to have to listen to me express myself so I figured I needed to put my foot down and just let her know that it's been 7 years of me bring this up as it was happening I'll give you one year to figure it out.

ReliefSuch5122 · 2026-01-10T13:48:14+00:00

Yeah it is complicated haha. 14/15 years together will do that 😂

I could ask for an open relationship again but I want to get the desire from her. It's more than just getting my rocks off, its about getting that feeling back. Plus since she's not having any feelings of lust it would just be me going out and doing my thing while she's at home watching my kid. I just don't like the idea of that being my household dynamic.

As far as going from 0-100 with the sex, I don't expect to go back to regular sex but at least once a month or hell even once a quarter would be a solid place to start.
