granted the Emperor is so insanely old he's most likely been an actual good parent at some point in the 40'000 years he's walked the earth it could be that his Immortality and massively long life caused him to loose the portion of his humanity that granted you the paternal protectiveness and nurturing care needed to raise and father children. my guess is that seeing your own offspring being born either dying horribly or growing old and decaying while you remain the same over and over again for thousands of years would cause any man to see that having sons just wasn't worth it even then the Emperor created the primarchs to be his generals not his sons they were tools and war machines not men of the people or his heirs.

@Cian Abroad it was his first major visit as the actual Emperor and not as some other Identity. This was a big, public show with his personal landing craft and an absolutely MASSIVE show. And he also had to simultaneously put himself as the Omnissiah so that the Mechanicum would accept him without question. So a grand gesture and fancy speech and the healing of a machine by accessing its long forgotten self-repair would go a long way to cementing his claims. Which it did.

Hey National Socialism, Congrats to being new to 40k. Taking the BL novels as 100% true, 100% canon is the dumbest thing you could do. They repeatedly contradict established codex lore, contradict each other, and many times contradict themselves. They are not 100% reliable sources, and BL even says this in repeated interviews. Honestly, if everything written was true, then genestealers would have nothing to do with Tyranids, and Irks could have kids. Stop being loud and stupid, pick one.

@@TheArklyte Every time I hear about the situation with the Emperor's status especially as it relates to the rest of the galaxy it seems to be building up to an "unstoppable force meets an immovable object" kind of situation.

[@josefdebnar6500]

13:15 He has seen Astartes more like his best creations. At least by official lore: Coldness. That was the defining sensation of his meeting with the Emperor. Infinite, terrible coldness. He had approached the meeting with dread, fearing what he would find. Would his father be dead? Would he be insane? Would they even be able to talk? When he had been admitted to the throne room and approached the Golden Throne, he had done so as he had approached his foster father Konor's funeral, willing it all to be right, drowning in certain grief. Between the time of the Emperor's ascension to the throne and Guilliman's own death, the Emperor had spoken to no one. How could anything have persisted for ten thousand years, he had thought. There was the wizened corpse surrounded by banks of groaning machinery. His sword upon His knee. Sorrow suffused everything. The sacrifice required to keep the Emperor alive sickened the primarch. If He were alive. He appeared dead. Guilliman had expected nothing. But He spoke. With words of light and fire, the Emperor had conferred with His returned primarch, the last of his finest creations. A creation. Not a son. The living Emperor had been an artful being, as skilled at hiding His thoughts as He was at reading those of others. What remained of Him was powerful beyond comprehension, but it lacked the sublety he had had whilst He walked among men. Speaking with the Emperor had been like conversing with a star. The Emperor's words burned him. What hurt most deeply was what went unsaid. The Emperor greeted Guilliman not as a father receives a son, but as a craftsmen who rediscovers a favourite tool that he thought lost. He behaved like a prisoner locked in an iron cage who is passed a rasp. Guilliman had no illusions. He was not the man who brought the rasp; he was the rasp. While the Emperor had walked abroad, He had cloaked His manipulations in love. He had let His primarchs call Him father, He had let them call themselves His sons. He had rarely spoken those words Himself, Guilliman now realised, and when He had He had done so without sincerity. Buffeted by the full might of the Emperor's will unclothed in flesh, a cloak had been ripped from Guilliman's eyes. The Emperor had allowed them to love Him, and to believe He loved them in return. he had not. His primarchs were weapons, that was all. Though his power was immense, perhaps greater than it had been before He ascended, the Emperor's humanity was all but gone. He could no longer mask His thoughts with a human face. The Emperor's light was blinding, all encompassing, but finally - finally - Guilliman had seen it as a whole. The being he had thought of as a father could hide nothing from him. The Emperor did not love His sons. They were things. Guilliman, all his brothers, were nothing but a means to an end.
