Messages for Dad
This article or section is EXTRA heretical. Prepare to be purged. |
Summary
In the grimdarkness of the uhh... 31st Millennium... what? Somebody is fucking with timelines again.
After the triumph of Ullanor, the Emperor was walking aboard his over-decorated golden toilet of a flagship *BLAM* the Mighty Bucephalus. When a random aid stopped him, telling him that his brohad sent him allot of holovids containing "important information" about the future. The Emperor then decided to call some of his sons, the Primarchs to join him aboard the Bucephalus in a very lovely, totally not gold-plated viewing room. This resulted in the longest netflix binge in the history of binging as all of the Primarchs along with the Emperor watched and reacted to the entirety of If the Emperor had a Text-to-Speech Device along with a plethora of other 40k fanfic and canon material. Until eventually they stumbled upon the abomination that is Messages for Dad.
This sent the entire family down the massive gaping hellhole of parenthood by beginning to follow a hybrid Primarch-Eldar son of a certain Rowboat Girlyman until it leads Angron (rightfully) down the path of RAGE against his brother Lion El'Jonson for being the king of dicks to his own son and wife, destroying a big chunk of the Bucephalus' internal structure and forcing the family to actually act on all of the events they saw happen or were going to happen.
This leads to the fanfic actually getting complex and having a Humanity Fuck Yeah future in the current M31 even as the old M42 gets continually more and more grimdark.
The Threads A.K.A The massive fuck off leadup to this fanfic
Alright fuckers, strap in and listen to this shit. It all started when Alfabusa (blessed be his name) made TTS and some autists on SpaceBattles decided to have the canon Emperor and family react to it. This was done by the magnificent bastard, Praetor98, who did this exact idea. "If the Emperor watched Text-to-Speech device". That's when all hell broke loose.
The Emperor and family got to watch all of Text-to-Speech device before any of us did. Or technically, way after all of us? Get the Ordo Chronos on this, because the timelines are fucked beyond all recognition. It all started right after Ullanor happened and Fucking Horus threw a Warboss out of a window and the Emperor saved the day with his massive army of golden people, daddy tried to leave and do Emperor things when he was sent some files. All of them being TTS. So he decided, "fuck it" and sat down to watch them and on a whim asked the Ullanor Primarchs to come on to his ship and watch them with him.
As you can imagine, this all went SWIMMINGLY. They only tried to kill each other... twice? And so, after a few episodes, the others began to trickle in and now we have all Primarchs and Emperor under one roof and watching youtube vids together. Yes, this is basically what happened. The family slowly shifted from their stoic, war hardened canon selves where no fun is allowed, to... Actual human fucking beings. They start unwittingly doing group family therapy and actually talking with each other. They know about Chaos, they know about the future and basically the heresy can't happen now because of this. Sure yeah, Lorgar was supposed to already be corrupted at this point, but posters and thread canon said no and we changed it to Lorgar not going on his pilgrimage and getting roofied yet.
Posters not satisfied with just this, decided that they must all react to other canon parts of their future, and some wanted them to react to... other things as well. So after many derails, and mods getting pissed, someone decided to just make the second thread for extras. If the Emperor watched Text-to-Speech EXTRAS, the thread, was now available from Guestlurker.
This thread devolved into madness as well. What do you get when you have a mixture of 4channers, redditors plebbitors and 40k fans with some autists mixed in? These threads.
So people just had the family react to canon side stories of the future, scarring them for life with some certain posts about certain terrible things. During the viewing sessions, Lorgar fully awakened to his psychic powers, Magnus admitted he was wrong, Leman admitted he was really wrong, everyone admitted they fucked up a lot. Especially the Emperor. It took literal teeth pulling, but it happened.
And you would think it'd end there but nope.
Then someone wanted to do the same thing, but have them react to separate realities. Yes, they now have TRANSDIMENSIONAL VHS TAPES. No, this actually happened. So the family got to see the Roboutian Heresy, the Dornian Heresy, the Cyclopian Heresy, the Lion Heresy, the Sanguinary Heresy, the Emperor Heresy (Renegades), If Isha ran to the Emperor, EVEN REALITIES WHERE THE CHAOS GODS WERE FRIENDS WITH EMPEROR and so on. Now no one was safe and everyone realized that all of them had the potential to be just as fucked up as the enemy. And yet they still watched the tapes. JUST AS PLANNED!
Yeah no, this ain't JUST AS PLANNED, Tzeentch has been screaming for days and it's fucking hilarious.
At this point, you'd think they'd stop and get back to their jobs but no. They have been sitting in the Bucephalus for weeks just watching youtube vids, reading 4chan posts and drinking their woes away. They even took a break from vids watching to play video games. Yes, we made them play video games. Angron has an Animal Crossing town and he loves it very much. He gardens.
THEN WE FINALLY GET TO MESSAGES FOR DAD.
So on the old EXTRAS thread, some shipping autist of a drawfag called DuskDawnAndFate decided to not read all the lore yet and made a shipping fuel fanfiction about her stupid fucking OTP of 40k. And that's how Messages for Dad started. Eventually, this fic got kinda popular and then branched off into it's own thread. Then suddenly the quality skyrocketed once Showtime178 joined on as co-writer and ever since then, the two of them have made a whole lot more sense.
And that's why this page was made.
The Primechildren
Aegidius Guilliman, Longer and not just a point, because he is the MC
Aegidius Guilliman is our main character and SPOILER he has to live with the Emperor's main soul shard inside of his mind and influencing everything he does. Aegidius, or Gill for short, is basically our shonen protagonist except he's seven years old at the beginning and life slowly gets worse for him like accidentally causing the death of teachers, accidentally letting Daemons manifest on Macragge and having his mind shatter. The kid goes through way too much, and the writers take a lot of joy in making him cry and wish for death.
Born around 100ish years after the Indomitus Crusade, the worst happens and the Golden Throne finally fails, leading to the death of the Emperor and Terra imploding into another Eye of Terror, this one called the Eye of Despair. So everything went tits up and fucked up beyond all repair. Before this happened, the Emperor told Guilliman that he had to evacuate the throneworld and get them somewhere safe. Knowing that he didn't have the ships and resources available, he turned to the Eldar and made a treaty with them for the coming dark times. That's where the Treaty of Eden happens and they seal it with a representative of both sides to marry and lead them. Yeah, totally not a contrived way for the author's OTP to be canon in here.
So yeah, Emprah dies, the Astronomicon falls and the Silent Year happens where people are stranded, communications are down, the warp is beyond fucked and everything is so grimdark, you can barely comprehend how everything is fucking alive. The Silent Year is so deadly, so fucked, that countless people die on all sides because holy shit, this is beyond fucked. The death echo of the Emperor is enough to calm parts of realspace and warpspace, ironically, which leads to certain Primarchs being able to return. Along with other shenaniganry.
Then, exactly one year after Emperor dies, Aegidius is born and with it, a new Astronomicon flares alive and everything isn't so bad anymore. This is the part where the Emperor decided he didn't like being dead, so he soul bound himself onto a barely being born Aegidius so Emps could have another shot at life. Not once considering he's putting a newborn through the worst physical pain anyone could ever go through. Yeah, Emps ain't a fucking great guy. With the Astronomicon flared back up, warp travel isn't as bad, communications are back up and everything doesn't fucking suck anymore.
Aegidius Guilliman is protected on all sides by not just the entirety of the Ultramarines, but the Adeptus Custodes, the Ynnari, the Aeldari, all combined forces to make sure this kid doesn't fucking die. All this would mean he'd be spoiled beyond reason and be the worst little shit compared to his baby sitter, Cato Sicarius, but nah. Aegidius is actually a sweet kid who just wants his parents home. He can be a bit short with Damien and get progressively more done with everything, but granted, he's still a kid and has the entire Imperium on his shoulders and two Emperor's trying to take over his body. It's fucking tragically hilarious.
Freya Russ
- Freya Russ, daughter of Leman Russ and his psychotic Valkyrie Wife Hrist, is a wild wolf child who does her father proud. Except being born a girl. She isn't over that. Freya loves fighting, loves her father, loves the Space Wolves, hates nerds and knows that you must kick a daemon in the balls. Truly, a wonderful girl. So far, we have seen her show up a couple times and mentioned a few times. She used to live on Fenris, with her father and mother, but after Leman took her on a trip to meet her uncle and get better acquainted with everything, they got lost in the warp (Like father, like daughter) after Aegidius had a bit of a temper tantrum. Freya was scarred for life on the things she saw, and refused to leave through the warp again after they made it to Macragge. From what we can tell, Leman isn't too heart broken over how his only daughter, his only child, wants to stay put. Definitely no daddy issues there. Nothing else about her has shown up yet, but she did decide to punch Aegidius and Damien once, so we known she has a bit of a temper. That's it really.
Venus and Perrin
- All we really know about them is that they are Vulkan's blood kids, along with a multitude of young siblings and adopted siblings as well. Because of course Vulkan adopted kids. Venus is actually quite motherly and seems to deviate away from the stereotype of Nocturnean women being fuck off angry and tsundere. She keeps her siblings fed, cared for and keeps them in line. Perrin and his younger brothers are already full Space Marines and serve under their father already. Perrin is stoic, quiet and apparently is a good leader? Not much on them, really. Same with the rest. All we really know is that they are most likely on Nocturne at the same time as Magnus is attacking it. So most of them are probably going to die.
