A Romantic Misunderstanding
The meme starts off with what looks like a typical intimate conversation between a couple. The man, with a hopeful expression, asks, “How do you feel about using toys in the bedroom?” His partner, clearly excited, responds, “Omg, I thought you’d never ask!” For a moment, everything seems perfectly aligned—two people on the same page, about to embark on a new level of their relationship. But Warhammer fans know that a setup this perfect is just the calm before the storm.
Here Comes Fulgrim!
Cue the bottom panel, where reality shatters like a Guardsman’s hope against a Tyranid swarm. Instead of the expected adult toy, the man enthusiastically brandishes a Warhammer miniature of Fulgrim, Daemon Prince of Slaanesh! His face is filled with unbridled joy, while his partner, now lying in bed, looks absolutely defeated—not by battle, not by Chaos, but by sheer secondhand embarrassment. This is the moment she realizes that the real betrayal isn’t from the Dark Gods, but from her own expectations.
The Emperor Protects (But Not Relationships)
This meme is a perfect representation of what happens when hobby priorities clash with reality. The guy, absolutely thrilled to introduce his lovingly painted Primarch of Excess and Perfection into their night, is oblivious to his partner’s soul leaving her body in disappointment. There’s something tragically funny about how many Warhammer fans might relate to this—because let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to show off their beautifully painted Fulgrim mid-conversation? In the grim darkness of the far future, there may be only war, but in the bedroom? There’s only one very sad girlfriend and one very excited Warhammer nerd.
