Stuff But I Like My Whimsy - Tumblr Posts
What's the deal with two commissars being so close to Magos Dominus? Are they friends or have to tolerate each other for some task? Why there's visitors from Imperium in the first place? Did someone do a lil heresy? :D And why those three guardsmen in particular are so easy (and fun) to steal? :D
Ooo very fun one 😈
So a bit of both, Storvis wants nothing and had never wanted anything to do with the machine cult as a whole, his old mentor instilled distrust into him when it came to the tech-priests which only continued to fester and grow as he got older and interacted more with them in the lines of duty
But, for most of when he was training and mentoring Galileo he was going through a period of grief and frustration as he had just lost his arm and had been horribly scarred on his face so his normal control over Galileo was half assed and very lax. On one day Galileo gets shooed away for storvis to sulk and while wandering about our favorite Magos Dominus finds him! As pre established, Our beloved centipede has a big soft spot for creatures smaller then him and this pretty young commissar in training wandering about all alone is one thing definitely out of order, but storvis’s hard headed nature and tendencies to yap about people he dislikes is ah a pretty easy way to get your ass in some deep shit (among some other stuff he’d like to keep unmentioned) especially since Storvis’s own mentor was discovered guilty of heresy.
So, since Magos Dominus’s skitarii took a liking to the young commissar, he kind of blackmails Storvis into allowing Galileo come for visits (shared custody B>) for teaching moments for his skitarii and just because he wants to ensure Gali is okay and not being tempted to chaos or something by Storvis (whom is not high on the magos’s favorite persons list)
So in a sense yes UwU someone did a little heresy but not the guy you’d think!
Meanwhile Galileo being the sentimental and goofy fella he is has a connection with the magos so he comes for visits periodically to catch up and be mauled by skits- that and sometimes to confide in the magos with some of his struggles, which Centipede doesn’t always understand but he tries his best to help out ^w^
As for the guardsman! Eerrrrmmmm yes :)
I have no particular reasoning they’re so easy to scoop up and scurry off with other then the fact they’re guardsman, all those guys are practically identical smh— that and I mean if you were one of the most expendable people in the imperium wouldn’t you want a giant scary murder robot who’s literally titled after how good he is at killing things to protect you?
As for why it’s so fun, magos Dominus just thinks the little guys are neat and they get along with his skits so they get to stay UwU
