TIL "Papa Smurf" is Brazilian

I know "I cast fist" from If The Emperor had a Text To Speech. In that webseries, Big E refers to Marneus Calgar as "Papa Smurf." Marneus Calgar is the Chaptermaster of The Ultramarines, and he is Ultra-depressed.

If you haven't seen it, it's an excellent primer to the lore of Warhammer 40k. It's like 99% canon, other than the fact that Big E never got a way to talk to anyone in the Imperium after the Horus Humbug happened, and Big E got trapped on The Golden Throne.

The "I cast fist" meme predates that, which is where I based my username from :)

This is the scene in question.

That is the playlist I would recommend for a newbie to the WH40K universe.

That is the playlist I would recommend to anyone that actually knows the ending of ITEHATTS.

Fuck GW for their anti-competitive BS.

Oooooohhhh, I don't think I've seen that episode of TTS Emperor! Why yes, I am Marneus Calgar of the Ultrasmurfs and totally not an alphabet legionnaire of a certain scaly type! 🐉🐉
