With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

Batman might. It'd take some time, but he probably would once he gets back to the Batcave and tries to pull a "For Your Eyes Only" bit to identify him.

("PIZZICATO PLAYTIME" INTENSIFIES)

 

Ok I’ll try and ignore the troll

 

Good point. Yeah, that's way better than dealing with these people.

 

I've never really understood the phenomenon of being "flashbanged by words" until I read this and it clicked.

 

No, he means ignore as in, click on their username, then click the ignore button.

 

Everyone going 'augh why' when Googling 'DC Bruno' made me do it. Honestly amazed it wasn't buried under pictures of guys named Bruno in the Washington DC area. And you weren't joking

 

Wait we have an ignore buttone????

 

'sounding'

"move my own"

"an ewe"

"to have"

 

Someone is getting a lap full of consequences.

 

Thank you, corrected.

 

The call of the Furry is a difficult one to resist.

 

I love Warhammer Paul. I know it's not going to be a full series because it would be a complete curbstomp but it's fun to look at what his actions are causing. If he manages to actually take some beastmen from chaos that's going to cause all sorts of headaches because beastmen or beastkin (they will need a new name from their chaos siblings) will be a great boon for the good guys. Strong as hell, durable and able to live anywhere. Will his people eventually grow to have beast like features naturally? Also what does the rest of Bretonnia think of this. I know he's in the worst territory of the country but he has fixed it to my knowledge and greedy assholes are going to be greedy assholes.

 

I guessing that getting the ewes to learn about non-Chaos gods like Rhya would be too complicated, for some reason.

Or, if they're very similar to Skaven, purging the subacute Warpstone from their bodies.

 

Simple solution. Just ensure his testies no longer produce Y-chromosome swimmers.

Well, a solution for this happy couple, anyway. For the general population, some sort of spell/curse to ensure they can only bare daughters is probably the best bet, without needing you to constantly check and micromanage the issue.

That, or just cut out the problem all together and spay them, until you've finished the research into deChaos-ing them. Frankly, that is probably the best solution if you don't want to outright kill them. Just turn off their ability to breed, until they're no longer inherently tainted and designed to produce Chaos footsoldiers.

 

Well, if Brettonnia is Fantasy Britain, clearly his people are the Fantasy Welsh, so what the Britons usually think of them.

"Oh, it's those weird guys that talk funny and fuck sheep".

 

I'm kind of bewildered that neither Tzeentch or Slaanesh have attempted to recruit Pavlos. Sending a disfavored priest to recruit him as a longshot attempt seems right up their alley.

 

Pretty sure Brettonia is more fantasy France actually. Albion is Britain, except nobody Romanised it in this setting.

Everything we know about Arthur et al. comes from French fanfiction, and French fanfiction of that fanfiction. There's, like, one super short British story about Arthur, and you'd never know if not for the character names.


So I guess Brettonia is what post-Charlemagne France wished it was. Hilariously.

 

France and Bretagne

 

It's worth a try, but I wouldn't just assume it will work, because Chaos.

 

the issue is the other side that poop out the egg

Chaos run on it own logic law, the odd of a boy still popping out is quite high

 

Such is the nature of feudalism. In most cases, any problems get settled at the local level, long before the Lord needs to deal with it. Especially since that sometimes meant dealing with it by removing some heads... Bothering you with something like, say, an issue with a field would be unthinkable...
(Edited: Okay, so a Knight of the Realm is a pretty immediate authority. I still bet their go-to punishments are pretty harsh...)

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

Vanda, of the female beastfolk. Part of his experiments to give the Chaos Gods a middle finger the size of Middenheim. I see things haven't been going entirely smoothly.

Yes, I think we can guess the problem here. The kind of problem usually settled by either a quick wedding or a shotgun and a shovel. Depending on the young man involved, anyway, and the father of the young lady. ...Probably why they're here.

Yeah, that's the sound of someone who knows they're neck deep in the septic pit. Ad given the way she's acting, she's expecting to be an ex-beastwoman very soon.

There's always one who doesn't think the rules apply to them, isn't there?

Lucky girl. Hopefully she'll learn a very important lesson about this stuff.

Heh. Someone's going to be getting a lesson about the birds and the bees, I see. Kind of closing the stable after the horse has bolted, but...

Ah, the old times, when you wouldn't know what you were getting until they arrived.

And given his reaction, it's not a pleasant thought.

True enough. There's a reason every nation of Humans kills or casts them out when they're born.

By the power of Avarice!

Let's put it this way: If you sired a son, he'd be more likely to try and rip your throat out than hug you.

...Says a lot that he's asking that question. Looks like he takes his expected role as a man and a father seriously.

And with him around, the likelihood of miscarriage is even lower.

Ah, the fatherly talk. Probably one the boy's own father should be giving, if not for superstitions and beliefs about the beastfolk...

Yeah, he's not going to kill you. For one thing, imagine the mess. Oh, sure, he could clean it up easily enough. But why have to?

Instead of dying, kid, or becoming unmanned, you get to taste the good stuff. Be glad.

Plus it'll settle his nerves a little. Just enough to calm him, without making him fall-down drunk, so he doesn't forget what he's about to be told.

To be expected, I guess. This whole 'book learning' thing is probably a bit too unfamiliar to someone his age to be enjoyable.

That's a good question. I mean, I expect the townsfolk and the herds have at least seen each other. That would be largely unavoidable. If nothing else, the biggest of the She-Gors could have done work as plow-haulers. But I doubt the townsfolk would invite them to dinner...

And it's this or the shovel speech, lad. So, get to talking.

Well, she certainly got wood of some kind.

...I know, natural functions. But... Ew.

This is what you get for letting your little head do the thinking, Gary.

...Because of course he went back to the well.

I hope you did her well, at least.

I know, he's certainly not the first man to lay with a beastfolk... But could we be meeting the Old World's first Furry?

<Sigh> Young Love, I guess. Or Lust, in this case. I'm betting that Slaanesh is sitting somewhere fapping to this.

Ah. There's a good punishment for them. Letting Wizards do Science! sorcery most unusual upon them.

I bet this is what Paol never though he'd be dealing with when he started out on his little quest. Amazing where life leads you, especially when you're trying to foil the largely-inevitable. Let's hope that the Wizards can work something out from the research, though. And meanwhile, I expect we'll be seeing what Doctor Balewa has found out about OL's little conundrum, tomorrow.

Might read better as 'and a Bretronnian'?

...any beastman they bear will be just as murderous as its kin elsewhere.

 

The Chaos Gods would curbstomp Paul if they took even a minor interest in his existence.

Thus MrZoat never actually writes the Chaos Gods so much as acknowledging Paul's existence. Even when they absolutely should.

 

They worship Taal.

Killing all y-swimmers would be simply enough. Stopping his testicles producing more is a good deal harder if the SI doesn't want to sterilise him.

That's not a sort of spell you want to cast in Warhammer. It's not going to be reliable, it will get all sorts of undesireable attention and it will make your allies distrust you.

But he needs them to be able to breed so that he can experiment on fixing their sons.

The location is very isolated. While they could send someone in his direction, not only is it going to take them ages to get there, that person is going to stick out like a store mutated thumb.

No. In Bretonnia, individual villages are ruled by a Knight of the Realm. They are actually a fairly immediate authority.

Thank you, corrected.

 

Isn't that just recreating QQ's Monstergirls/Warhammer Fusion AU from first principles?

 

Do you have a link to that? I need to... Do research.

 

You’re a good egg, Paul. I’ve been reading a D&D 3.5e rework (PM me for a link). A few sections deconstruct peasant life from the glamorous way most media portrays it. It was a rather eye-opening look at truly depressed economies, life based on 1000 calories, and the facts like completing awful chores (cleaning pig sties) is far more acceptable trade for lodging than metal coins. There’s a reason farmers paid taxes with their harvest rather than with coin. And lords “knew better than” to invest in quality of life for peasants since they could not be taxed for gold.

I thought I understood how transformative the roads WHF!Paul was building would be. No, no… peasant life did not resemble the medieval era shows and books I’ve read. Your characters are genuine heroes, Mr Zoat, and not just for their insightful ethics.

 

Paul is just jealous he didn't get in first.

 

Medieval healthcare. Medieval make up. Medieval hygene. Medieval diet.

Though the diet has its up sides as well. Almost no refined sugar means that dental health is actually pretty good. And heart disease is also very rare.

 

I would also like to do some research on this subject.

Not that I do much in the way of writing.
