I wrote Yes, You Are Trans Enough. I’m also a big ol’ nerd with ADHD who really likes stuff like Warhammer, Batman, and magical girls. Yada, yada, yada, I’ll write a proper bio later. She/her

But it’s so much effort :(

I’d have to leave the house and everything.

Right? And with how many die in recruitment, wouldn’t they want to double the pool of potential candidates?

Yuuup. I mean Stormcast show it’s pretty easy to do. Just need the heads.

Mia Violet @ohmiagod.bsky.social · 1d

I do! ☺️

I keep getting bombarded by texts from Specsavers like “Waaah~! It’s been years since your last eye test! Come see us! It’s really important!!”

Pssh. You’re not the boss of me, I’ll go blind if I want to.

I thought that was an arse at first.

£700?!

Damn.

Maybe I can make my own from some old iPhone charging cables and one of Mittens’ cardboard boxes?

Maybe she’s just got into Corsairs and is looking for some neat new lore so she can impress Barack?

I’m almost embarrassed by how much this made me laugh.

Exactly, yeah.

I love them. But it’s a weak argument to say they’re the full equivalent of female space marines.

Space Marines are the face of the franchise, it revolves around them. It feels very antiquated for the brand to be growing progressively mainstream but have no women in the spotlight.

I personally think female space marines are inevitable, eventually.

Just for sensible business reasons, it would making the brand seem broader and more accessible by having their primary faction no longer be a boys club.

Especially with TV shows coming, now is the time to do it.

A lot of people assume I’m desperate for female space marines.

But honestly I’m neutral.

I love 40K as it is. I don’t need it to change.

However, I do think it would be positive because it would be great for kids, I want girls to see badass armoured women and see that the hobby is for them too.
