Helldivers - Tumblr Posts
The SES Eye of the State!
✍️ Q&A TIME 🕰️
But this question is for YOU, Helldivers: What is the name of your Super Destroyer?
A Helldiver’s flagship is a key component of their identity and their fight for the future of Super Earth. So, Helldivers, what did you choose to name your ship?
My sister got a new game and she really, really wanted to play with me so I bought it and. Listen.
When I tell you that Helldivers 2 wants my laptop to crash more than it wants liberty I'm telling the truth.
that is amazing.
I just noticed the helldiver eating popcorn in the final panel
THE HELLDIVERS HEROS (artist: heartbreak Juan)
Apparently it's canon that pelican 1 and eagle 1 are married as confirmed by the devs, also I'm firmly on team eagle 1 is a tomboy.
Helldivers II
A few Armors, next up will be who's behind them!
Thermal Prototype 1
A light Top Armor, that is draped over a fire resistant and thermal regulating suit. On the back there are two big canisters of fuel for a Flamethrower, along with multiple small ones stopped to the chest
(It hides the Body Temperature, is Fire Resistant, however very explosive if shot)
Radio Runner
A medium standard issued Armor, it however features a cape with a hood and a thick backpack, used for long distance radio communication without the need of an extra station.
(It allows for long distance communications, gets past Ion Storms, is an easy signal to pick up, due to the frequencies coming from the radio)
Homemade Stalker
An Armor that has been mixed and polished with juvenile Stalker Parts, especially the outer shell and wing membranes. It allows for easier travel on Terminid overrun Planets, however it is easy to mistake and come to blue on blue incidents.
Eyes up and focused on the mission, Helldivers. She's married to Democracy, and Liberty is her boyfriend. 🦅
(Sorry, Pelican-1)

So a spartan, Helldiver and space marine walk into a bar—
What could possibly go wrong?

Fellas, is it gay to wanna make out with a 7ft tall brick wall of a man— for democracy ofc!
Lazy yapping abt lore below the cut 🫶🫶🫶
I’ve been putting off on posting this for whatever reason but here they are 🫶 my specialest boys!!
I have been thinking about this Au/Crossover situation for MONTHS now btw they infect my brain like little worms
How does it all make sense for these three to coexist? Easy.
Halo & helldivers are from the same-ish universes, sort of, come from different galaxies the UNSC sends their Spartans out to help Helldiver operations as back up from time to time. Helldivers are seen as slightly crazed quacks by the UNSC but it’s better they have Spartans to keep them sane and controlled on more delicate missions then nothing.
Space marines (and warhammer associated factions ect.) exist in a separate universe (naturally) but warp shenanigans means they can bleed over sometimes to this new foreign area (time travel or multiverse hoping, your pick.) and that’s how we got to our current range :3
A space marine, a hell diver and a spartan make up a crack squad of only slight fuck ups B)
I love them a lot and they’re so silly—
I love them three goobers
They say thank you! Mostly-
Transcript : H - Thank you SuperCitizen™! We do in-fact do many amazing things to win your adoration! I understand you will, however, have favorites & my compatriots will more than understand why it’s me!—. Sm - Thank you imperial citizen! I, as do my guardsmen & many brothers, only seek to do the [emperor]’s will for you see trails off. S - Please help.
Unconventional Company
Warhammer/Helldivers/Halo crossover + writing warmup
Slowly Night clutched its wispy black tendrils around the planet and travel became difficult, forcing the Trio of trained soldiers to set up camp for the night. Seated around the fire the Space Marine would reach back into his satchel, digging out a large book as he leaned back some.
His voice, cutting through the settling air, rumbled the question “So pray tell guardsman, have you all finished your prayers? I hadn’t seen even a single one before battle…” He questioned, strangely nonchalant for how confused the other two were left. The other armored figures glanced to each other with small shrugs.
“prayers?” The spartan echoed, he had heard of a variety of religions back home and on various planets but with the mystery shrouding this giant already he really hadn’t taken the ‘marine’ to be much of a religious man. The Helldiver didn’t seem to be a fan of this topic however as he crossed his arms, leaning back with an aura of disapproval. He didn’t really trust this brick wall much already. Was too big of a guy. Never took off his armor…maybe he was an automaton. These prayers sounded very UN-democratic. Hmph.
Though their confusion deepened as the marine looked appalled, gently digging out an almost rosary like item with a large double headed eagle attached “ahah…yes?— your prayers to the God Emperor?” He pressed, the duo again glancing to one another.
“Doesn’t sound very democratic-“ growled the Helldiver as the marine gave off a sudden menacing aura. The spartan swiftly clapped the back of the helldiver’s helmet with his armored hand, clearing his throat to try and recover the situation, “Right! Right!! our prayers! How could we forget!?” He’d swiftly nod with growing anxiety as the Helldiver grumbled in complaint over being hit. The spartan wasn’t about to be ripped in two by this muscle man freak in super armor because the quack Helldivers like this one couldn’t see the writing on the wall.
“How indeed.” Snorted the armor clad wall of a man before allowing his original aggression, hesitantly, to fall away. “But it is only natural when fighting for the God Emperor.” He nodded matter of factly.
“For Liberty ya mean.” grumbled the Helldiver, receiving another smack to the helmet as the spartan cleared his throat once more “RIGHT! Yes! Perhaps you should lead us through one? We are a bit rusty—“
He gulped, worried of the marines reaction, hoping this would smooth it over. Even still he braced for the worst until— the marine seemed to light up? “Of course! I always am ready to show guardsmen new prayers for our God Emperor!” His deep voice bellowed as he would readjust to be closer to the two.
Despite the Helldiver disliking the idea the spartan forced ‘convinced’ him to go along with it, if only to just please this ‘Space Marine’ into not crushing them under his boot— and he had to admit, it was kind of endearing the joy the marine displayed as he traced over the strange words within his book, explaining these ‘prayers’ he picked out for them and how to say them.
…Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad?
Lovely dividers by @squishyowl (Imperial) and myself :) (Helldiver)
Yapping below the cut
Oh BROTHER this one took a lot. Idk y but hey it happens (mostly due to my inability to stay on a project for too long—) but anyhow
This bad boy had say in my inbox for a WHILE and in my notes even longer….i think I ported it over to tumblr around the time I made the original au post, meanwhile it’s been written since about I first made the au, so woof a while ago
This bad boy took a few months on and off again to complete just due to my spelling and grammatical errors and the whole not working 100% of the time on it X.X
But here it is!!! Idk if it was obvious but the crossover is a really fun idea to me and I definitely wanna do more with if- so we shall see 🥰
I’m just a big huge sucker for sci-fi stuff especially sci-fi battle stuff and these three being big poster children for that idk how I couldn’t
Anywho- thank you all for reading and u all are so cool and thanks to my moots who proof read it for me 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶✨✨✨💪💪💪💪
Everyone have a good day 🫶
Helldivers 2 is pretty great. I'm a really big fan of (Verhoevan) Starship Troopers, and I feel like I could write a whole essay about how "seen" I feel with this game. I do love that this game has resurrected the old discourse about the film, some things never change
My friend got me the game after he found out I hadn't been on it yet, declaring it "made for me" and "wtf are you doing", and yeah he's right. Thanks Gman
Yada Yada for Democracy, feet first into hell, c'mon you apes, all that jazz
Tom Lehrer is to Fallout what Starship Troopers is to Helldivers 2.
Kill them. Kill the Xenos immediately. Then use their body for corpse starch.
I need ALL of you to understand that your silly little technicolor furry/scaly/protogen/“creature” OCs would be shot down the moment anyone saw them without hesitation.
Super Earth is the right hand of the god of xenophobia that is Warhammer 40,000, meaning everyone that isn’t 100% human in appearance is dead on the spot.
Hell, they’d probably do worse than that. I wouldn’t put Super Earth past classified concentration camps for people with birth defects, or worse, grievously unethical human experimentation that’s hidden behind the guise of a placebo medical program.
“Oh, you think we’re just gonna give you some pills for a few weeks and you can just leave? Hell no. We’re going to pump a gallon of medical class deliriants into your body to see how much fear the human body can handle. Our Helldivers will really benefit from this glorious sacrifice of yours.”
They might not even bother with all that. They might have mandatory legislation that states they HAVE to abort the baby, and force the grieving family to work on a hell-colony on Hellmire, or god forbid a Terminid hive world.
You wanna know what’s crazy?! It could be EVEN MORE BRUTAL. They could just toss them off a cliff like the Greeks did and brand it as some sick, demented ritual to appease the “Spirit of Democracy”. Shit’s fuckin’ BAD, brother.
Super Earth is a DYSTOPIAN society that makes no place for anything different or erratic. It’s all black and yellow, and the people who are not wearing black and yellow are killed because the government tells them that they are wrong, bad, stupid and dumb and a bunch of poopy face losers.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk about the nature of societal dystopias like these being inextricably linked to puritanical hellscapes.
(It looks really good btw)

Is this a Megadeth lyric, or a Metallica one? I can’t tell, and I swear I’ve heard that verse somewhere…
Anti material rifle my beloved
I wish Super Earth would give us a bestiary/coloring book of various enemy types and where best to dispense democracy. Naturally, it would be completely empty, and you would need to gather the data yourself.
Major Order complete. Sony is on the backfoot. Don't let them forget this.
Cheers to Arrowhead for making such a wonderful game, and I dearly hope they are able to recover from this.
Super Earth is under threat
Vile bugs and heartless automatons want to take your Freedom, shatter your Liberty and destroy Democracy
They seek to annihilate our way of life
Join the Helldivers and push back humanity greatest threat
I’m doing my part, are you?
Vile bugs are stealing valuable resources that belong to liberty
These greedy insects need a strong hand to make them see the errors of their ways
The Ministry of Defence has stated that high caliber explosives are quite persuasive
Join the fight today
I’m doing my part, are you?
Always be careful when on deployment Helldivers
Alien flora is prone to display explosive traits
Stay vigilant, Stay alert, Liberty is counting on you
Thanks to the Ministry of Defence, Helldivers of every rank will have access to the devastating power of 500kg bomb stratagem
Deploy fast Helldivers, for we are unsure for how long the Ministry can continue to supply these munition in such quantities
FOR DEMOCRACY
