Juno (Fem Guilliman) The Fem Primarch of the UltraMOOrines is dominated by her dear sister, Atlantia (fem Angron) Lioness of Khorne.
I feel like not enough of the primarchs really have memorable mothers
Like I can only really think of, Guilliman's mom, Leman's Wolf Mom, and kinda Putrabo's sister(not a mom but still very prominent/memorable woman related to a primarch)
Like I get it, give them Daddy issues before they meet Emps, and then they get to have real daddy issues, but still.
I feel that's such a missed opportunity
Like give Angron a warrior mom who survived years in the pit because she had to be strong, but something in Angron unlocks a violent maternal instinct she thought she would never feel. It's not the usual "motherly instincts" but more like a lioness'
Or give Logar a priestess/holy mother nun, someone to foster his love for the religion, encourage his blind worship and devotion. And thinking him a gift from the gods.
Like, I'm not saying replace every dad with a mom, but I feel like an even distribution would give more narrative creativity!
That's also how I ultimately feel about making some Primarchs into Fem Primarchs. I feel they should have had, let's say, half the cannon primarchs be their fem variants. I feel that for some, it would have fit their storylines better.
Like ngl, Morty is my favourite, but hot take...
I feel his story would hit so much better if he was fem.
Cause one thing I picked up on is not a lot of 30k/40k fans like mortarion, or they just find him boring. (Im saying most people i have encountered and also pretty much every 40k youtuber I've seen), but i feel if he was Mortica, something might click.
It would hit different cause now u have a girl being used and abused by her toxic father, and then her vengeance is stolen from her by a man she doesn't even know. She is constantly trying to become more resilient, turning her resentment into bile.
It changes the meta-context and the readers perspective. Sure, 40k is so far in the future that gender and sex don't matter, but us as outside observers would then think and discuss Mortarion/Morticia's position with the very raw reality of how a majority of women/fem people are victimised irl.
And when they overcome it, they're hurt, they're changed and far less willing to be corjal with people. They have every right to be mad, to be hurt, but society sees them as jaded, as "a cold hearted bitch" and "just broken"
And it's this meta text being super imposed from real life experiences and knowledge that makes Morty more relatable.
Especially to a fem audience. She would then feel like the definition of female rage; quiet, intense, lured hate, all hidden behind a mask. Despite most knowing what she has gone through, they still feel uncomfortable being around her. Thinking she could be nicer, she should be sweeter and bounce back like she was designed to do.
But she can't. She's been tortured, her only vengeance taken from her. All by men, all by psykers. She loathes them all. She's traumatised and has built emotional walls so tight, not even Putrabo(who I also feel would be fem) could crack them.
Okay, 1: THAT ARTWORK WAS AMAZING!!! 😍♥️❤️🫶 and 2: what a fantastic headcannon, every serf on the ship totally drinks their Lords' milk no question but I can see it being an open secret for the other legions and their serfs where Macragge's biggest export is milk and every ultramarine cruiser always has access to milk as others would water. I like the thought that's its like a less well hidden version of the blood angels and their own "special red wine"
And it's fuckin hilarious to imagine Leman grabbing on to Robuté's hair yelling "YE HAW RIDE 'EM ULTRABOY!!!" in his thick Norwich accent 🤣😆😂
Kudos to @moociaoafterdark for drawing that one fanart with Cato and the milkmaid.
Part of me feel like it has to go somewhere (the milk) and must be pasteurized but there (technically) human and aren't milked like real cows to an industrial level (then again the milk is coming out of Cato's nipples like a river stream, but then again it can be brushed off as transhumanism shenanigans) so there's no need for pasteurization. So... it's supposed to be ankin to regular cow milk and all but I like to imagine due to geneseed fuckery they can produce varying types of milk (i.e whipping/skin/non-fact/low-fat sort of milk)
On an unrelated note, do you think our good furry wolf leman russ ever tried to jump on romoote guillicow for the kick of it as a bipedal version of professional bull riding?
Sisters' reunion.
Both changed beyond recognition.
Now, they must reform past alliances in a hope to weather the terrible future to come.
*P.S. I know I fucked up Ferra's words "I could say the same for you sister" apologises*
I DID MORE!
Well, a little. I also want to draw her reuniting with her ex-lover/sister, Atlantia!!!
Okay had a pretty shitty day so I decided to focus on making Bovine Juno.
Guilliman was one I was really worried about for this series only because I had no idea which animal to link with her
After I saw the reblog from @moociaoafterdark That introduced me to the link/meme of Ultramarines and Cows. And then I imagined her being one of the few primarchs not to go completely feral after her transformation.
She still has most of her mind in tack and has the same attitude as regular 40k Juno/Robuté, she's just more cowlike outwardly.
And how funny would it be that this transformation happens while/after her fulgrim induced coma.
This leads everyone to expect a completely human-like Juno, (entire murals and renditions and myths) only for her to show up like this!
