But why would the Emprah create a pussy willed faggot in the first place?

Checkmate loyalist!

Hold on a second. He never wanted to treat the Primarchs like his children. The Emperor never even knew his Primarchs when they were literal children. He met them when they were grown ass men. The majority of them had their own adoptive families anyway. They shouldn't have needed the Emperor to be their father figure.

So let's stop giving the Emperor shit about his parenting. He was never trying to be a parent.

Clearly that's because of the Emperor. Many of the Primarchs inherited his autism, loyalist and traitors. See Rogal Dorn and Perturabo.

provide evidence of the emperor's autism. I don't see it.

>>50970054
>HURR WHY DOESN"T OUR FATHER LOVE US!
>Said all the primarchs who did nothing of note.

Meanwhile dorn, guiliman, corax, sanguinius, rus etc all had meaningful and loving parents who they made proud and thus didn't need the emperor to be their fucking parent.

Why does anyone like chaos primarchs? They're literally just faggots looking for a man older than them to be daddy to their little boi.

>>50976298
Yeah. It stands out even more because so much of the rest of the art looks so good.

>>50976630
The only one I legit feel sorry for is Angron. First his supposed super-genius magical daddy suddenly doesn't know how to reverse a surgical procedure from a culture immeasurably dumber and more primitive than the Imperium, and second he won't let his son wreak righteous vengeance on the slaver basters who did it to him.

>>50976630
Horus was the only one who really felt underloved.
Angron told him when they first met that he would kill him someday
Fulgrim was daddy's perfect little boy until he got hooked on drugs
Lorgar rightfully believed that his atheism was wrong
Mortarion didn't give a fuck
Alparius and Omegon didn't care, they had their own reason for stuff
Magnus tried to warn him, and he ignored Magnus because of the method of communication

>>50977290
Mortarion hated him Because he didn't let him kill the Tyrant Sorcerer on his Homeworld

>>50977290
Magnus did fuck up webway and placed Terra in perpetual danger from daemons. I like him and his character but damn that's major fuck up.

>>50973801
But if he wasn't, why was Sanguinius his fav?

Checkmate

>>50978395
I think Horus was his favorite. That's why he still hesitated to kill him after seeing Sanguinius's dying body at his feet.

>>50970054
It all makes sense if you realize that he saw the Horus Heresy coming and realized that it was inevitable.

>>50978589
>I think Horus was his favorite. That's why he still hesitated to kill him after seeing Sanguinius's dying body at his feet.
hate to be that guy but it was Horus killing Sanguinus (in a manner so horrible that it gave the blood angles legion psychic PTSD) that made the emperor realize that Horus was beyond saving.

>>50978869

No friend, that would the the death of Olleanus.

>>50978395
Horus, Russ and Dorn are probably his favorites. Sanguinius wasn't really trusted by Big E and Malcador

>>50977290
>Horus did nothing of note, earned little, gets to be favorite and third most powerful man ever
>Angron was barely a person, why would anyone give a shit about a murderslave lobotomite
>The favorite, only one given the boon of his kings sigil, ruins everything his father did for him, poisoned thousands of minds, ruined millions of lives because he's a faggot addict
>Idiot that couldn't understand basic phrases
>Sadomassochist that marched his legion to their deaths on mass hellbent on suffering instead of growth as a person
>meme for faggots
>couldn't understand basic instructions despite being explicitly told by his king and commander to not do something explicitly. Decides he knows best. Literally. Ruins. Everything. Forever.

The traitor primarchs are failures.

>>50978589
Fulgrim was his favorite as an example to show others.
Horus was his favorite as a person/progeny.
Dorn was the one whose artisanship and resolve he trusted most.

>>50978665
>inevitable
It was not by any means inevitable. All he had to do was stop lying to them about the existence of chaos ad warn them of its dangers. There's no fighting an enemy you don't even know exists.

If you read The Master of Mankind, he refers to them by number when they aren't around.

They aren't sons to him. They are engineered weapons. Just things to expend as needed.

There's more on that in The Master of Mankind.

Jesus Christ on cheeze-whizz BL is determined to make the Emperor into a complete shit, aren't they? What's the difference between Emps and Palpatine besides better fashion sense and a bigger army?

>>50980924
I thought that he did it so he was like the persona of the omnissiah that a member of the mechanicum expected him to be

>>50981081

>>50981081
Personally I kind of like it just because I like how unreal it sounds. I mean just imagine the Emperor talking to the Primarchs.

>Attention numbers 1-20. With the introduction of numbers 21-50, who are more efficient, you shall be sent to quell the part of space dubbed by number 4 as "The eye of Terror". Number 16 "Horus" shall remain here however for reasons that I and Malcador deem fit.

>>50981024
do you enjoy horrible fluff rape and fan-fiction tier writing? then it's the book for you

>>50981125
Sounds about right. Big E has better PR, hell understands the NEED for PR whereas Palpatine is all "LOL yeah I'm space Hitler ain't even gonna try and pretend brah"

>>50981081

Maybe he was always supposed to be a complete shit and not some compassionate father figure. It would certainly explain why he thought it was okay to completely destroy Monarchia and possibly kill some of its inhabitants simply because Lorgar was dragging his ass.

He can still care about humanity as a race surviving and still not give a damn about individual people or their emotions.

>>50980924

>>50981958
>Maybe he was always supposed to be a complete shit and not some compassionate father figure
White dwarf lore contradicts this, particularly an early story from his perspective set during the siege of Terra. This was back when the murder of Sanguinius made him realize Horus couldn't be saved and the the emperor blew him out so hard his soul was erased

>>50970054

Since 40k lore is always going on about how records of that era are incomplete, much that was known is now lost, blah blah I think it would have been better had BL really played around with that in the HH books. In some novels Emps would be shown as a wise ruler, in others full on space Hitler and everything in between. Just go unreliable narrator to the hilt.

>>50982269
/pol/tard please.

I find it kinda sad that no one has written the Emperor with a weird perspective on time

He's tens of thousands of years old for chrissake. People's perspective on time differs when they're 5 and when they're 50 for example

>>50982151

Because secretly the Emperor is a furBLAM

>>50973742
>>50970054
Because the God Emperor is not without flaws
That, more than anything else is his connection to humanity, being flawed and fallible just like every one of us.

He never pretended to be perfect, and despite his godlike powers actively discouraged the idea of being worshiped in an attempt to remain humble.
The only thing the Emperor is guilty of is trying to be closer to humanity.

If only BL took advice from /tg/

>>50982050

I'd think it matter if you're trying to come off as a compassionate father figure or even ruler, but what he did to Monarchia seems the act of someone only concerned with the grand scheme of things and who doesn't care about crushing people underfoot or trying to use them as leverage to get what he wants.

>>50982168

While this is true, they've stated that when the times comes they're not going to go with that version of the fight or at least as is.

>>50979511
Give me 1 important thing he did before "lol you're a primarch, here's an army."

Emperor was anti-worship because he was the atheist supreme. Humility certainly is not a character trait.

>Thick smoke billowed from the windows, the rain doing nothing to dampen the destructive ambition of the flames, and Uriah wept to think of the wondrous fresco and the thousands of years of history that was being destroyed. He turned to look up at the Emperor, the warrior’s face lit by the fires of destruction.

>‘How can you do this?’ demanded Uriah. ‘You say you stand for reason and the advancement of understanding, but here you are destroying a repository of knowledge!’
>The Emperor looked down at him and said, ‘Some things are best left forgotten.’
>‘Then I hope you have foreseen the consequences of a world bereft of religion.’
>‘I have,’ replied the Emperor. ‘It is my dream. An Imperium of Man that exists without recourse to gods and the supernatural. A united galaxy with Terra at its heart.’
>‘A united galaxy?’ said Uriah, averting his gaze from his blazing church as he finally grasped the scale of the Emperor’s ambition.
>‘Indeed. Now that Unity has been achieved on Terra, it is time to reclaim humanity’s lost empire among the stars.’
>‘With you at its head, I presume?’ said Uriah.

>‘Of course. Nothing of such grand scale can be achieved without a singular vision at its heart, least of all the reconquest of the galaxy.’
...
>‘Didn’t you just tell me of the bloody slaughters perpetrated by crusaders?’ said Uriah. ‘Doesn’t that make you no better than the holy men you were telling me about?’
>‘The difference is I know I am right,’ said the Emperor.

>>50984063
