What is it with people shipping two characters who are completely, in no way at all "involved"?
Like Yvraine and Roboute Guilliman, or Captain Titus and Leuitenant Mira from Space Marine. What the hell is making people do this? Not only does it undermine the point of the character relations ("we mortal enemies must come together in a time of strife and common need"/"I greatly respect you as a fellow soldier") to try and push the stupid romance bullshit?
In all likliness, a space marine can't even feel romance anymore and a primarch, if they even could, would be far too busy and "above" other lifeforms to consider one. Am I wrong? Have I missed something major here, Veeky Forums?
Pic not related, I just couldn't find anything more relevant.

Yes. Space Marines are absolutely capable of romantic feeling (because they're capable of empathy). Salamanders have families, even.
Crack ships usually emerge out of a single funny image, a joke, or weird parallels between characters. Sometimes they're just so weird or so forced they catch on because they're memorable.
The examples you give aren't too strange. Sexual tension between enemies is common in fiction, fanfiction, and even pre-Biblical myth. Mira and the Captain legitimately have mild tension going on, though it's more respect and understanding than anything else.
Jordan Allen
>Dumb ships >Mentions Captain Titus and Lieutenant Mira
Objectively shit taste.
For real though, just let people have their fun. It's not like GW is going trawling through Cambodian Pottery Painting boards for ship ideas to include in canon. They almost have a pathological fear of romance anyway.
Luis Cruz
There is a difference between empathy and attraction, though. Salamanders have families, yes, but from my understanding these are more like adoptions if anything - "I will help you take care of yourself and your children" rather than "I am sexually/romantically attracted to you".
>Mira and the Captain legitimately have mild tension going on, though it's more respect and understanding than anything else. I agree partly, there's tension and it seems to be more focused on respect, but that still doesn't equate some sort of romance. I've seen people phrase their relationship as "clearly something romantic going on".
They can have their fun, it just triggers me and I want to know where the idea even came from when there's nothing there to suggest it.

Fans are people, and people like sex and romance. They'll inject it into anything for shits, giggles, or because they think it's hot. This goes double for repressed basement-dwelling nerds.
David Ward
It that Rogal Dorn being tentacle raped? Why does this exist?
John Morales
It's Rogal Dorn ABOUT to be tentacle raped, yes.
Why does it exist? I don't know, but I've also seen worse.
James Miller
>There is a difference between empathy and attraction, though.
Absolutely, but the only prerequisite for the latter is the former. Romance usually has a sexual element, but not always, and Marines are not (necessarily) a sexual anyway.

I get banshee sucking and fucking but why with ultramarines?
Nathan White
Ultramarines are the poster boys and the chosen of Ward, of course they're the only ones getting premium xenos succ
Eli King
Why? This is why, foolish mon-keigh.
Cameron Wood
Because the eldar doesn't much gender diphormism, which means that their males are more affeminated which makes humans more attractive to them. And then you have the astartes, that are the manliest humans around. It's hard for a female from a race known for having pussy males to resist the temptation.
The ultrasmurfs are just following the example of their glorious leader that is the manliest of all humans currently active(being a primarch and all)
Isaac Morgan
>Yvraine and Roboute Guilliman This is a given. I bet GW was going to make it canon and they would have been the Adam and Eve of the new !notSigmarines Primaris race.
Andrew Johnson
Female Eldar prefer manly astartes because their men are feminine? I think that logic is flawed.
Human females are attracted to masculine males because we've evolved to do so - masculine males are better at leading, hunting, fighting, etc. They can provide more for offspring and those masculine traits are preferable for survival of the species. Eldar?
Eldar have evolved far beyond that need. Being ancestors of humans in lore, it is likely that they used to have the same attractions as modern humans in the setting do. However, over time and being a naturally more psychic species, they had little to no need of strength or aggression in their males. They would have evolved to be faster, smarter, and more psychic - coming with the psychic aspects, they would most likely evolve to be more emotional as that part of the brain would be responsible for most psychic abilities. This would explain why Eldar females are for the most part, stronger psykers.
So I believe it is the opposite of what you say - Eldar women would detest overly masculine men, especially astartes, as they would be seen as needlessly primitive and barbaric. They are not strong in the ways an Eldar must be strong - wit, psychic ability, and speed. The traits they have are un-needed or even counter to what an Eldar child needs to survive in Eldar society.
Gabriel Miller
So, according to that image, space marines are Winston from Overwatch?
Elijah Hall
>They would have evolved to be faster, smarter, and more psychic - Faster implies and stronger.
Btw, it wasn't a serious post. The simply fact that they're different species would cause repulsion.
Jackson Torres
Did the Emperor not make the Space Marines in His own image?
Sebastian Russell
It would be absolutely hilarious if deamon prince fulgrim drags and skull fucks the pansy in the name of slaanesh.
Even better if Lorgar cucks girlyman by having him watch slaanesh eat her soul
Eli Parker
>This is a given. I bet GW was going to make it canon >was I like your optimism.
Actually I'd like it if Girlyman and his ChadMarines took out Angron, who is then replaced as head of the Black Legion by Fulgrim. Though I have a hard time believing the rest of the legion would accept SnekMan as their new glorious leader, pic related is a throwdown I really want to see.
And it would really be nice if Lorgar put down the X-Box controller, went outside and actually did something, anything, with his legion.
Josiah Gonzalez
>put down his X-Box controller kek
Caleb Carter
Speaking about the primaris, I thought they were obvious, Fabius is making new marines or upgrades and Cawl is just doing the same, sounds very Tzentchian and a plot to keep both sides balanced.
Elijah Anderson
He looks like a neckbeard in this image.
Jayden Baker
I'm not sure what the fuck Bobby B is thinking in this image, because the last time he fought Fulgrim 1V1 he got his ass handed to him in about 30 seconds, and had to send half a company into the grinder to rescue him.
Henry Kelly
(You) *took out Abaddon
>dat pic Noice. But he would get crushed in CoD.
Oh no doubt about it. That's why despite all the recent changes - the primaris, the destruction of Cadia, biel tan and so on - I don't think the scales will tip too far towards one side or the other. We'll just end up at a higher level of stalemate.
The Power of The Emperor protects him, user. And Emps wants some payback against Fulgrim.
Adam Jackson
>They are not strong in the ways an Eldar must be strong - wit, psychic ability, and speed. Eldar canonically admire their martial prowess.
Easton Powell
user, what part of "angsty man-child with edgy tattoos who does nothing with his life except read books all day" not sound like a neckbeard?
user that is clearly a Gears of War controller. He has no time for plebs on CoD when he can play hardcore mode on Gears of War 87: Corpse-Emperor Edition.
I was speaking more about the regular Eldar, since the comment was specifically banshees. Dark Eldar are violent and twisted, of course they want the masculine/deadly/dangerous males.
Jacob Johnson
>since the comment was specifically banshees. Banshees are explicitly said to be most brutal and violent of a all Craftworlders because they take Path of Warrior, they are same crazy bloodthirsty sluts as wyches, they worship Khaine who is hunk mountain of meat, badassness and masculinity.
Gavin Smith
...fair enough. Have a banshee waifu for your efforts.

If Ferrus was better he wouldn't have gotten his ass kicked by Fulgrim twice.

Well 8th edition said that the word bearers are rumored of having a massive crusade with lorgar in the materium and they would have good reason to fight the ynned forces

I seem to remember that he was doing OK-ish until his helmet got knocked off and one whiff of Fulgrim's daemonic musk overpowered him.

As for your overall idea I don't see the Black Legion accepting Fulgrim as their leader, a possible idea instead is Fulgrim gathering all the EC and their splinter warbands under one banner, as well as any non-EC Slaaneshi warbands as well as a horde of daemons and invading realspace.
