  • Thank you so much for asking me to narrate this amazing piece of lore! I hope you all enjoy it! ✨
  • Her TTS personality of being a casual mother figure to everyone while still being noble is her canon personality and I will not hear any arguments to the contrary
  • Q: Who is Saint Celestine? A: Someone you should not shit talk within system range of the Sororitas
  • @caraunio2542
    The fact that they get the TTS parodies VAs for the quotes is just so fucking awesome. God this community is a fiction of its own i swear
  • @TheHateCorp
    Sisters of Battle morale rises to dangerous fervor-levels
  • For Every Heretic: It is too Bright, can you please turn it down. Everyone else: TOTALLY WORTH FOR OPTIC NERVE DAMAGE!!!!
  • @lordorion5776
    i really hope i'm not the only one that really loves the videos with Stephanie Swan Quills
  • literally was looking up stuff on Saint Celestine and low and behold you guys deliver.
  • @mikecampos1193
    I think the lamenters really need her help or her boy toy.
  • I love how Cadia never fell Abaddon had to destroy it. the single most badass moment in all of Warhammer 40K is when the Cadia guard stays to hold back the demons and cover the evacuation. you can break the planet but not the will of a stubborn Guardsmen...
  • @awesomehpt8938
    -I love you Celestine! -Adopt me please! -Please great saint. what’s your top 18 best primarchs? -Are you the genderbent sanguinius from my fanfic?
  • The idea of a woman so pure of heart and superbly raised in the ideals of the Imperium that even the Emperor himself, consumed by His duties as He is, can’t ignore her is just immensely cool to me. You don’t associate the Emperor with things like romantic love or compassion, but I feel like He genuinely loves Celestine in a way he never loved Erda, the mother of his sons. She’s his last remaining tie to the species he failed, and I feel like that’s very big part of the reason why He’s so reluctant to let her die.
  • Poor Sanguinor.... in the exact moment change roles with his "FRIEND" he knows dat the Adeptas Yanderitas are even worst than the Chaos and Tyranids
  • @bigz4339
    Last time I was this early she was still in the Schola Progenium. Now? Obviously an Imperial Daemon.
  • @Liethen
    Sororita: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH SAINT CELESTINE! Sanguinor: Things that would make you blush.
  • @vishishify
    Serious answer: Daemon of the Emperor Internet's answer: MOMMY DOMME!!!
  • @RezaQin
    Man, imagine being at Cadia, and then a Living Saint just pop into rescue everyone.
  • @WASDLeftClick
    Very informative, I hadn’t really looked into Celestine too much before this. It firmly cemented my opinion that Living Saints are just Daemon Princes of the Emperor, or at least a partially-awakened god created through the devotion and fanaticism of the Imperium’s people that superficially resembles the Emperor, feeding off the hatred and religious rapture that the Ecclesiarchy spreads. She’s got incredible power, angel wings, is partially de-powered when cut off from the Warp, and can’t be permanently killed. Sounds like a Daemon Prince with a relatively unchanged physical form, still retaining a semi-material body, and being banished back to the Warp to me.
