&lt;br /&gt;
The Death Guard are one of the nine [[Space Marine]] Legions who betrayed the [[Emperor]] during the [[Horus Heresy]], and became [[Chaos Space Marines]]. They worship the [[Chaos God]] [[Nurgle]] and in return he infests their armor with pestilence and disease. The Primarch of the Death Guard is [[Mortarion]], who has been elevated to [[Daemon Prince]] status. Their original homeworld of Barbarus was a septic tank disguised as a planet, entirely populated by country bumpkins (and a few Dark Eldar) and stank continuously of horseshit. Barbarus has since been destroyed (probably for the best). The new homeworld of the Death Guard is now the lazily named Plague Planet (&amp;lt;strike&amp;gt; it fucking rhymes too!&amp;lt;/strike&amp;gt; Actually it&#039;s an alliteration, which is still awful) where all the Galaxy&#039;s diseases from meningitis to crotch rot collect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Not many neckbeards dare to paint them up. Back during the Unification Wars of Terra, before the coming of Mortarion, they were known as the Dusk Raiders due to their early-evening assaults, using the confusion of the afternoon twilight to catch their enemies off-guard, during dinner. Because Mortarion had been endowed by the Emperor with the aspect of humanity&#039;s Teenage Edginess, he renamed his legion the Death Guard instead, and &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;had them repaint their armor to the charming colors of algae-green and mudslick brown white &amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; their armor was unpainted, save for a snot green trim and the legions heraldry. They got dirty after they started swimming in the drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to living in the utter shithole (in their case, quite literally) that was Barbarus, where the local air was equivalent to huffing the engine exhaust from a Chinese cab, the Death Guard soon grew proud of their &#039;ridiculously tough beyond humanly possible&#039; bodies, which made them resistant to almost all forms of poisons and diseases (didn&#039;t stop them from succumbing to Nurgle&#039;s Gift, hur hur!). Due to their affinity to biological and chemical elements (likely programed into their Geneseed as well), the Death Guard quickly became the Emperor&#039;s personal bio-chem experts. It wouldn&#039;t be a surprise if their main source of orbital bombardment was [[Exterminatus|Virus Bombs]]. In fact, they probably bathe in that shit on a daily basis. They also smoked A LOT of weed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before the Horus Heresy, the Death Guard differed from the other 17 known Legions in that they had only [[Nurgle|seven]] Great Companies, although these held far more men than those of other Legions such as the [[Ultramarines]] or [[Space Wolves]]. There were three privileged titles held by captains of the Death Guard. The captain of the First Company was known as the First Captain, the captain of the Second Company was known as Commander, and the captain of the Seventh Company was known as Battle-Captain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Death Guard tended to be organized into units of foot-slogging infantry, rather than mechanized squads (since the Death Guard themselves were already tough to the point they might as well have Hull Points). Mortarion ensured that his men were [[Ultramarines|well-equipped and highly-trained.]] He also ensured that they could fight in almost any kind of atmosphere, and placed little emphasis on specialized units using jump packs or bikes. The Death Guard did not have dedicated Assault and Tactical Squads. Every Marine was equipped with a bolter, bolt pistol and close combat weapon and told to fight with whatever weapon circumstance dictated. The Legion was also well known for its use of Terminator Armour. Possibly as a result of this, the Death Guard were highly successful at high-risk boarding and close-quarter operations such as [[space hulk]] clearance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Horus Heresy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time of the Horus Heresy, the Death Guard was known to have had roughly 95,000 Space Marines. One of the most isolated Legions, they tended to take on the most inhospitable warzones of all. They developed a rivalry of sorts with the Iron Hands, priding themselves on their innate resistance whereas the Iron Tenth got theirs from intensive augmentation. Having found their Primarch relatively late, tensions persisted between the Barbaran &amp;quot;true&amp;quot; Death Guard and the old marines who remembered the Dusk Raider days. Barbarus brought other baggage, including a fanatical hatred of psykers which would lead to Mortarion calling for an end to the Space Marine Librarius.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the [[Horus Heresy|Galaxy&#039;s Greatest Hangover since the]] [[Fall of the Eldar|Fall of the Eldar]], the Death Guard and Mortarion were one of the first traitor legions to rebel against [[Emperor|daddy]]. Within the Heresy, Mortarion&#039;s smaller fleet led a [[Fail|failed]] attempt on [[Prospero]] to convince [[Jaghatai Khan]] and the [[White Scars]] to join with them, only for &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;Genghis &amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; Jaghatai to tell the psychic-hating bigot to fuck off and thus, the White Scars and Death Guard battled to a stalemate. Some fight scenes later, Mortarion meets up with Typhus (then Callas Typhon), who pulled a dick move and killed off the [[navigator]]s, but convinced Mortarion that he could lead them to Terra. As you might expect, entering the [[Warp]] without a Navigator&#039;s help is just asking for something bad to happen. [[Rape|Then came the Destroyer Plague, and their fate was sealed.]] Their superhuman constitution and grim determination proved worthless against the Destroyer, and so they embraced Papa Nurgle to be freed from the plague and relieved of their suffering, at the cost of, well.....  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mortarion also had a personal guard, the speechless and silent [[Deathshroud|Death Shroud]], who were known to be within 49 (Get it? Nurgle&#039;s holy number is seven and 49 is seven squared?) paces of their Primarch, Morty.&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, and they enjoyed drinking a cup of venomous, poison bile to commemorate victory. Mortarion drinks that stuff like water, though his captains have trouble holding their guts inside after drinking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the Heresy was properly underway Mortarion rose quickly in Horus&#039; esteem by not going bugfuck insane and/or turning (his brothers) into a daemon. A few years into the war, Horus charged him to wipe out the White Scars. Mortarion duly pursued them to the Catallus Rift, only to be thwarted by a Webway portal he had no reason to expect and a heroic last stand by the Scars&#039; Sagyar Marzan kill-squads.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All in all, the Death Guard were stoic, poison-drinking, sour-faced martial warriors before [[Horus]] threw his [[Horus Heresy|surprise birthday bash]], and ended up rotting avatars of &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;[[AIDS]]&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt;, Syphilis, and decay by the time the party was finished. Just like [[That Guy|that ONE GUY]] who always shows up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Post-Heresy ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Death Guard Assraping Tau.jpg|650px|right|thumb|After being repulsed by one kind of [[Ultramarines|Blueberries]], Mortarion and co decided to compensate the loss by [[Anal Circumference|venting]] [[rage|their frustration]] upon another pile of [[Tau|Blueberries.]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So the Death Guard and the rest of the Traitor legions failed (what were they even trying to do again?) and were kicked to the [[Eye of Terror]] to do their daemonic stuff in private. The Death Guard, along with any non-[[Word Bearers]] or [[Black Legion]] factions, soon broke apart into splintering warbands. The split of the Death Guard can be contributed to [[Mortarion]] doing what&#039;s trendy when you become a Daemon-Primarch: do whatever the fuck you want and have nothing to do with your Legion FOR 10,000 YEARS. Typhus, who was always a dubious shit-nugget to his Primarch, decided to take as much of the legion into his own hands and go crazy with no intention of obeying Mortarion when he returns. What a douche. Though he did get some shit done.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another Death Guard warleader by the name of Thagus Daravek got similar ideas, but on a bigger scale. Through sorcery he realized the destiny that Abaddon was on course for, and tried to claim it for himself. Rounding up massive warbands, he became the Lord of Hosts, doing everything he could to wipe out nascent Black Legion. He even went so far as to bind the daemon that had been Iskandar Khayon&#039;s tutelary to him, giving him power over Khayon, and used this to follow the Black Legion into realspace. With Abaddon already mired in battle with the Black Templars he would have wiped them out, cleaned up the remaining Templars and sailed off into history. Only Khayon ordered the Black Legion fleet to do a runner, engaged Daravek aboard the &#039;&#039;&#039;Vengeful Spirit&#039;&#039;, and chopped his head off. Good effort, at least.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In theory the Death Guard, like the Word Bearers, are one of the few Traitor Legions that still have some sort of cohesive centralized command structure. Mortarion commands seven Plague Companies, each consisting of multiple Sepsis Cohorts, which are divided into two Maladictums which in turn consist of seven Colonies. In practice, Mortarion rarely commands his minions (especially Typhus), and the forces of the Death Guard are so scattered that they are mainly divided into informal warbands called Vectoriums, mostly consisting of Colonies or Maladictums from the same Plague Company.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As of the 42nd Millennium, Mortarion decided to stop playing X-Box and puffin&#039; his &amp;quot;Barbaran gas&amp;quot; to make up with his old homie Big Blue. Suffice to say, the Death Guard saw what [[Magnus the Red|Magnus]] [[Thousand Sons|and friends]] did with [[Sortiarius]] and decide to do something similar. They carved out their own mini-empire called the [[Scourge Stars]] right to the north of [[Ultramar]], so they can annoy and pester [[Roboute Guilliman|Big Blue Wonder]] for as much as Morty pleases. This act has cemented the Death Guard as Ultramar&#039;s [[That Guy|worst neighbor]] since the first Tyrannic War. Thus Mortarion and the Death Guard launched the &#039;&#039;&#039;Plague Wars&#039;&#039;&#039; after [[Roboute Guilliman|Grandpa Smurf&#039;s]] resurrection and the breakout of the Indomitus Crusade. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the [[Fate of Konor]], Mortarion and his bros decided to launch an assault on the star system. Whilst he had lost three of the planets (unsurprising since Imperial players outnumbered Chaos players to an obscene level), through sheer grit and resistance, the Death Guard mange to take over the planet of Vanitor. Although even then, it was a pyrrhic victory at best since the Death Guard had to lob a lot of resources to finally turn the tide of the battle. They did manage to also take another planet called Drenthal, but they ultimately they lost the final, decisive battle to the Ultramarines. This was due to Mortarion putting all of their hopes and resources in a former Eldar maiden-world turned into the Death Guard&#039;s very own gross-ass Death Star, strapping continent-sized Space Hulks to it and dumping whatever forces he had left in the system onto its surface. Much like the alluded super-space station, it got blown into smithereens during the loyalist assault when strike teams penetrated deep into its engine core and [[Awesome|manually detonated a cyclonic torpedo]]. After a few more battles things finally came to a head on Iax, where Guilliman and Mortarion duked it out amidst the ruins of the planet before Nurgle recalled Morty back to the Scourge Stars. Apparently the other Chaos Gods had gotten jealous and wanted to take the Plague God&#039;s recently acquired real estate for themselves. And so, amidst what is assumed to be the expletive-ridden ranting by Mortarion at the gods fucking him over again, the snide commentary of Typhus at yet another failure of his father and the hearty laughter of Ku&#039;gath at the irony of it all, the Death Guard left Ultramar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the fiasco of the Plague Wars, the Death Guard was forced to go back to their little turf to fend off Tzeentchian and Khornate shenanigans over the Scourge Stars. At the same time, Mortarion and his Death Guard also manage to meet face to face with the remnants of the Tau&#039;s Fourth Sphere forces. [[FATAL|Turned out pretty great.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Disposition ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Death Guard codex indicates that of all the Traitor Legions, they are one of the most ordered and coherent. Maintaining a sensible command structure and chain of command all the way from the top to the bottom similar to how it used to be structured all the way back during the Great Crusade:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the top stands Mortarion himself, attended by the various officers of the legion and his [[Deathshroud]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below him there are seven &#039;&#039;&#039;Plague Companies&#039;&#039;&#039; commanded by a powerful Lord or Daemon Prince. Each company tends to have a preferred combat style as well as carrying a particular disease.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;1st Company - Harbingers:&#039;&#039;&#039; commanded by [[Typhus]], and includes the [[Plague Fleet]]. They carry hundreds of strains of [[Zombie Plague]].&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;2nd Company:&#039;&#039;&#039; Has a huge number of battle tanks and obviously prefers mechanised assault. They carry the &amp;quot;Ferric Blight&amp;quot; which infects armour and vehicles with crawling rust.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;3rd Company - Mortarion&#039;s Anvil:&#039;&#039;&#039; Defensive siege specialists. Its warriors carry the &amp;quot;Gloaming Bloat&amp;quot; which infects them with sweaty fever that makes them speak in gurgles.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;4th Company:&#039;&#039;&#039; Commanded by a sentient plague made up of a gestalt daemonic consciousness called the &amp;quot;Eater of Lives.&amp;quot; The 4th insists on having Sorcerers in command roles and incorporates daemonic summoning into its tactics. Its warriors carry the &amp;quot;Eater Plague&amp;quot;, which is most likely a manifestation of the Eater of Lives.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;5th Company - Poxmongers:&#039;&#039;&#039; Use a lot of daemon engines. They carry the &amp;quot;Sangous Flux&amp;quot; which makes them leave blood clots and red trails wherever they go.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;6th Company - Ferrymen / Brethren of the Fly:&#039;&#039;&#039; command the Plague Fleets and acquire new ships for the Legion. They also have a large number of [[Blightlord Terminator]]s who carry a parasite called &amp;quot;the Droning&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;7th Company - Mortarion&#039;s Chosen Sons:&#039;&#039;&#039; They are the legion&#039;s alchemists and are blessed with &amp;quot;Crawling Pustulance&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Plague Companies are made up of an unnumbered amount of &#039;&#039;&#039;Sepsis Cohorts&#039;&#039;&#039; which contain about 700 Plague Marines each. They probably function similar to loyalist [[Space Marine Chapter|Chapters]] in that they are a fully self contained fighting force, equipped with its own attendant officers, auxiliaries, vehicles and daemon engines. Each sepsis cohort also has command of its own fleet assets so it can move from place to place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each Sepsis Cohort is split into two &#039;&#039;&#039;Maladictums&#039;&#039;&#039; probably of around 350 warriors each, plus any assets that get assigned to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Maladictums are sub-divided into seven &#039;&#039;&#039;Colonies&#039;&#039;&#039; which is similar in function to a loyalist Company. Each colony containing seven squads of variable strength, &#039;&#039;(350 into seven colonies leaves 50 men divided into seven squads of around seven men each)&#039;&#039; and can be equipped in whatever manner their commander deems appropriate. Although typically the 1st Colony of each maladictum will be exclusively made up of [[Blightlord Terminator]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though what this means in practice is debatable however, the Legion is broken up across the whole galaxy with maladictums and colonies from various plague companies fighting together in forces called &#039;&#039;&#039;Vectoriums&#039;&#039;&#039; whose uniform often manifests itself to a single identifiable scheme and take on a new name for themselves chosen by their leader, so identifying which Plague Company that an individual warrior or squad has come from based solely on his colour scheme would be a nightmare, it would be simpler to just identify him by what diseases he carries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The organisation of the Legion probably gets further complicated by the fact that some vectoriums, such as the Favoured Sons and the Rotworm Brotherhood have gone double-renegade and actively rebelled against their Primarch, forming independent warbands of their own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Death Guard are said to be one of the few Traitor Legions to have actually grown since the Horus Heresy; and have fought entire wars over new Gene-Seed stocks or for control over recruits. Coupled with the sheer resilience of Plague Marines in general means that in comparison to before their corruption to Chaos their numbers have only increased more quickly since their damnation. In terms of actual numbers though, it can only be a matter of speculation. It is known that at the start of the Horus Heresy they had 95,000 warriors. Even though is reasonable to assume that number would have been heavily diminished by the conclusion of the Siege of Terra and the Scourging that followed; the implication is that the Death Guard are stronger than they have ever been, thus it can be comfortably guessed that the number has grown to equal or even exceed their former strength, which probably means that each Plague Company has &#039;&#039;more&#039;&#039; than nineteen Sepsis Cohorts of 700 warriors each.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Daily Rituals of the Death Guard==&lt;br /&gt;
06:00 - The Death Guard awake in the hand-dug graves. Massive, 10,000 year hangovers and rotting ligaments make getting out of bed difficult, some are unable to be roused from their graves for hours and have to be dug/scraped out to perform their daily rituals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
08:00 - Morning Meal. A zombified serf prepares the meat of another rotting serf, alongside a bit of fungus. Marines who are unable to rise from their graves make due by eating the fungi that grow on their bodies, or sometimes their own limbs by mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
08:30 - Morning Prayers. A prayer is dedicated to Papa Nurgle. Each Death Guard secretly wishes a Nurgmas present from Nurgle himself. They all get presents, as every day is Nurgmas as long as you asked for more mutations or nurglings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
09:30 - Morning Firing Rites. The Death Guard proceed to have target practice upon captured Imperial citizens. Its a win-win situation as the citizens are revived as zombies and the Death Guard gets experience. Nobody loses, everyone wins. Such is life. Well that is unless said Death Guard is a horrible shot (and when your joints and eyes are rotting, steady aim isn&#039;t an easy proposition), in which case the citizen&#039;s terror and pain is prolonged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11:00 - Battle Practice. The Death Guard engage in battle practice within the mud swamps of the Plague Planet. Unfortunately, the [[Slaanesh|Pleasure Pits of Pussy Planet]] were booked for the day. The stuck Death Guard are now able to climb out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12:00 - Tactical Indoctrination. The Death Guard plan out their latest campaign to spread Papa Nurgle&#039;s Gifts. Unlike traditional legions; the planning phase looks and sounds more like preparations for a party, rather than a tactical debriefing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13:00 - Evening Meal. A medium meal of Maggots, Dying flesh, and diseased organs is prepared by the zombified serfs. Most Death Guard prefer to order from [[Emprah Burgers|Chaos Burgers and McNurgle&#039;s]] as the food delivery is faster, and the quality is pretty much the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14:00 - Plague Checks. The Plague Surgeons now examine the Death Guard legion to see if any new diseases develop within their bodies. Typically nothing new happens, but they&#039;re always optimistic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15:00 - Pet Training. The Death Guard now begin combat training with their daemonic beasts. Its mostly harmless (atleast for the marines), but will occasionally end up with a friendly &amp;quot;fatality&amp;quot; when said beast gets too enthusiastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16:00 - Evening Prayers. &amp;lt;s&amp;gt; This time Papa Nurgle has heeded the wishes of the Death Guard and has given them Nurgmas presents &amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; NO PRESENTS! THEY GOT THEIR PRESENTS ONCE, NOW IT&#039;S SOMEONE ELSE&#039;S TURN!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17:00 - Pet a Nurgling Period. The Death Guard are allowed to pet some of Papa Nurgle&#039;s blobs of rotting cutsies. If they were gifted a nurgling then they can pet their own nurgling, who will then follow the marine around until they inevitably get stepped on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18:00 - Daily Nurgle Wedding. A local wedding is held by two love birds in the Plague Planet. Celebrations are held as the Death Guard congratulate the groom and bride. Much confusion is had as to which is the groom and which is the bride. The Death Guard attempt to coax Mortarion into leading the procession, but typically gets silence in response. The Deathshroud are also visibly tense by this hour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19:00 - Wedding Meal. A feast is held to congratulate the newly wed couple. Everyone is happy and the imperial citizens who were shot for target practice are now revived as zombies and are invited to see that not all things in Chaos are bad. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22:00 - Time with Daddy. Mortarion gathers whatever faithful Death Guardians he&#039;s commanding at the time and tells tales of the Heresy and how to serve Nurgle best. All the marines sit cross legged in a circle listening while petting any surviving nurglings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23:00 - Free Time. The Death Guard have their free time where they pray to Nurgle, get as much disease as possible, help the locals, and be overall model citizens to those who inhabit the Plague Planet. Sometimes, the Death Guard congregate, and an ancient Terran plant species known as &amp;quot;The Weed&amp;quot; is ritually inhaled through an equally ancient tool known as &amp;quot;the Bong&amp;quot; in faint imitation of their Primarch&#039;s need for Barbaran gas. It has strange, pleasant effects, and Sometimes, Mortarion may share his &amp;quot;Barbaran gas&amp;quot; with his sons.&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s good stuff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
24:00 - Rest Time. The Death Guard go back to their graves and rest for a bit. Mortarion ponders where to spread Nurgle&#039;s gifts next. On rare occasions; Mortarion may leave his quarters during rest period. Reports of him playing with his own menagerie of pet daemonic beasts in the middle of the night are unsubstantiated and will result in horrible dismemberment if he ever hears you mention it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== New models and Codex inbound ==&lt;br /&gt;
That&#039;s right heretics, new models coming out, including the Daemon [[Primarch]] [[Mortarion]] himself! You can see it [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BceinBiT9jQhere in this video by Warhammer TV]. A Death Guard codex is also coming. [[Warhammer 40,000/Tactics/Death Guard(8E)|They&#039;re here!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you really want to make an impressive Death Guard army, don&#039;t forget who you&#039;re painting. These guys SMELL. Forget the conventional painting guides. You&#039;re going to want to first apply an undercoat of literal shit, snot, piss, and neckbeard wearing spandex level sweat. Follow up with coating the armor with actual spit (smoker&#039;s tar filled loogie preferred), earwax, pus (cheap hooker...?) and vomit (any source, preferably with bile). Next, trim the armor by smearing the model in the bloody, bloated necrotic flesh of some local roadkill laying in a pool of gasoline. Using dirty syringes, apply even coats of AIDS, anthrax, cholera, cancerous cells, necrotizing fasciitis, ebola, influenza, prions, plague, smallpox, herpes, salmonella, tetanus, and poliovirus. Lastly, mix the model in a bin of rotting irradiated garbage and grease, making sure to keep what sticks to it for accents. Voilà! Death Guard.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;We poison our air and water to weed out the weak! We set off fission bombs in our only biosphere! We nailed our God to a stick!&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Don&#039;t fuck with the human race!&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Out of all threads that appear at the [[/tg/]], it is this kind of threads that hold that one special place in the hearts of [[neckbeards|fa/tg/uys]]. It shows [[Humans|humanity]] for what it really is: a savage but superior bunch of mighty and brilliant alphas with machines that [[rape]] any organism that dares stand in its path, then proceed to do the same to any aliens across which they come, as they are all pathetically inferior in every way. This can take many forms, including military, cultural, culinary, and sexual(is surprisingly not much). The foremost is the most common in these stories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many glorious hours of dedicated hard work were given to these threads, the finest lines of which would make any xeno race run to the edge of the known universe, even if the humans were still in the stone age. Reasons why humans are such a threat to the rest of the galaxy are various, but a good deal can be summed up in the following list:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Our evolution&#039;&#039;&#039; - We evolved and THRIVED on all range of extreme environments all over the Earth, from the infernal heat of Africa where everything is trying to KILL YOU! &#039;&#039;&#039;ALL THE TIME!&#039;&#039;&#039;, to the frigid apocalyptic wastelands of the North and the Ice Age where survival depended on constant invention and ingenuity. Aliens usually evolved on some herbivore world or become less &amp;quot;on their guard&amp;quot; due to centuries of living away from nature, not troubled by survival.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Our history&#039;&#039;&#039; - Humans have been getting better at killing each other basically even &#039;&#039;&#039;before&#039;&#039;&#039; they made stone axes, and we got [[awesome|better]] over time. You think proud warrior races have shit on us? Spartan style training they undergo makes only a handful of survivors. No matter how good they are, we&#039;ll just drown them in conscripts. We also nearly went extinct once, BECAUSE A &#039;&#039;&#039;HUGE&#039;&#039;&#039; VOLCANO EXPLODED, making us only have about 5000 INDIVIDUALS left and of them ONLY 40 PAIRS were BREEDING ONES. Did that make us quit? NOPE. Only about 70000 years later we had 7,4 BILLION INDIVIDUALS, having 100 TIMES more biomass than any other large animal species in the history of our planet!!! That is a [[Promotions|hell of a lot of breeding]] (which has also made us have a very low genetic variety almost making us inbred but not quite. BUT STILL)! The moral of the story is that do not fuck with us, xenos. No matter what you do WE WILL SURVIVE. And after a while: WE. WILL. THRIVE.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Our bodies&#039;&#039;&#039; - We&#039;re the ultimate Omnivores, we hunt down, kill, burn and eat absolutely anything until totally nothing is left, even more so than so-called &amp;quot;apex&amp;quot; predators like lions, bears, snakes and sharks (in fact, contrary to what &#039;&#039;Jaws&#039;&#039; may lead you to believe, we &#039;&#039;eat&#039;&#039; sharks so much, hunting them down to near extinction. Why? Simply because they make &#039;&#039;fancy soup&#039;&#039;). We are like [[Tyranids]] without a hive mind. We also drink alcohol, one of the most volatile, flammable, caustic solvents in chemistry that is for all intents and purposes, POISON. It&#039;s the same toxic stuff used to [[Exterminatus]] bacteria, fungi and everything else biological, and a VX-like neurotoxin to invertebrates, arthropods and almost every other small animal. Why? Because it&#039;s FUN!&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Our mind&#039;&#039;&#039; -The most terrifying aspect of us would probably be our brains and technology. Our aggressive instincts combined with our intelligence will never cease to come up with better and deadlier ways to warp reality in our own Image, and to torture and exterminate the enemy, and such would probably seem like incomprehensible Lovecraftian Magic to lower species. Our modern tech would scare the shit out of tribal communities. We have exterminated a lot of species like the Dodo &#039;&#039;simply by uncaring accident&#039;&#039; (which is probably why &#039;&#039;&#039;we are thriving during an extinction event&#039;&#039;&#039; (for now at least)). What we can come up with scares the shit out of ourselves even. Think Nuclear Weapons and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_assured_destruction M.A.D.] for example.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As you can see there is a lot of material to roll around in these kind of threads. Humans may not be as powerful sometimes, just a serious player in the galaxy through economic superiority or science, but that&#039;s not the real &amp;quot;Humanity Fuck Yeah&amp;quot; thread. The real deal is us having our way with the galaxy as we see fit. Murdering billions of xenos, or fucking them if they&#039;re hot enough, taking their delicious alien babies and eating them in front of their parents, mining their planets to the core and moving on, leaving nothing but dead rocks in our wake. We march on, our mantra singing through the stars:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvlFvp8j6d8 &#039;&#039;&#039;GENOCIDE! MINING! GENOCIDE! MINING! GENOCIDE! MINING! &#039;&#039;&#039;]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Xenos Pay Attention You&#039;re Next ==&lt;br /&gt;
Our species thought we knew war. We built our civilization on foundations of honor and prowess, we were like a rapier; crippling our foes with small yet decisive blows. We killed our enemies yet we allowed them to surrender, there was no needless  killing. That was before the humans came and they showed us the truth...That we were just naive children and that true war is won through unrelenting cruelty and spite. Despite our warriors training, despite all our experience, still we fell to the innumerable waves that the humans sent against us, they burned our worlds; slaughtering our children in horrific ways using them to learn how to kill us more efficiently.  After many blood filled years these Terran butchers arrived on our home and they transformed it into a corpse-filled landscape. I tried to take my life but one of these power armored animals stopped me. As he leveled his vicious weapon at me I noticed his face for the first time; His eyes were filled with murderous glee and his mouth twisted into a sneer he whispered three final words to me...&amp;quot;Humanity, fuck yeah&amp;quot;...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Do they not know who we are, my brethren? We are the chosen of the Emperor, the scions of Terra.  We are dominion and we are numberless.  We are war itself and the death of all who oppose us.  We are Humanity and we shall educate our ignorant foes as to the true meaning of that word!&amp;quot; -- Lord Inquisitor Aedrick Mantel of the Ordo Xenos, from [[Imperial Armour]] Volume 12 &amp;quot;The Fall of Orpheus&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In real-life there are people who claim encounters with aliens.  Contrary to the popular trend here on HFY, the people who supposedly encountered aliens in real-life are often shocked or even frightened of them.  In addition, abductees and witnesses stated the aliens had advanced technology beyond anything humanity has made that rendered the humans involved helpless against the aliens before being taken to their spaceships for experiments.  But don&#039;t despair HFY, there are a few accounts where the people in question fought back; in one account a person was about to be abducted by an alien but stabbed them with a knife.  Though the knife couldn&#039;t pierce the alien&#039;s skin, the resistance resulted in the aliens were driven off without abducting anyone.  There was also an incident in which the would-be abductee ran inside, grabbed his rifle, ran out, and starting shooting at three aliens coming at him.  One of them had to be dragged away by its compatriots.  He hasn&#039;t had any xenos problems since then.  In other words, if you&#039;re being abducted by aliens, fight back!  Armed or not.  Kick them in the gornacks!  Gouge out their eyes!  Bite them!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-- There was also a reference once on an infamous board to a story about an overweight powerlifter who was abducted, woke up and threw a few greys off him after breaking from restraints, afterwards he was lead down a hall where he passed out and woke up at home.  I dont think he killed any of the aliens but they were suppposedly the 4ft tall skinny greys, and he was able to punch one which flew with a wall, and the others retreated.  He was then lead into the hall.  Source pending.&lt;br /&gt;

== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Humanity Fuck Yeah&amp;quot; sometimes refers to omnicidal maniac-level racism against everything that isn&#039;t non-powered and normal human beings (because, you know, a human with superpowers is not really a human, right?). &lt;br /&gt;
Readers may experience ocular bleeding due to excessive [[TVTropes]]isms escaping from humanity&#039;s natural habitats.  This is a normal, if unpleasant side-effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== Recommended media about humans kicking ass ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; While any media can actually bring a moment of a human kicking ass, it is imperative that such narrative presents humanity as a whole showing exceptional abilities to defeat super-powered/non-human adversity. For example, a book about humans slaughtering hyper-advanced alien invaders is absolutely &amp;quot;Humanity, Fuck Yeah&amp;quot;. A book about World War 2 is not &amp;quot;Humanity, Fuck Yeah&amp;quot;, because although it presents humans kicking ass and taking names, it is against other humans and there&#039;s ass kicking on all sides so that does not count.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, &amp;quot;Humanity, Fuck Yeah&amp;quot; only applies if humans are defeating super-powered non-humans through strictly technological means. For example, in &#039;&#039;X-COM: UFO Defense&#039;&#039;, regular troops gunning down aliens is HFY, as are heavy weapons platforms (big robotic gun platforms). PSI troopers, despite being humans, use supernatural powers so they are not HFY.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Behold a list of &amp;quot;Humanity, Fuck Yeah&amp;quot; works:&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/wiki/ref/universes/jenkinsverse Kevin Jenkins universe] Humans are from a &#039;deathworld&#039;. Lot&#039;s of stories here. [&amp;lt;-- These stories suck. They have a terminal case of &#039;no plot just backstory&#039;. There&#039;s no red thread of a tale being told snaking its way through the writing, no meaningful happenings. If you want random fluff, go for it, but there&#039;s no crunch here, not for anyone who demands a modicum of standards to his writing.] [I would disagree with this, IDK when this opinion was given, two years ago I would say it held some truth. However the main story as well as a few of the canon stories by different authors do have a plot and quality. Of course this is only my opinion on it.][Now in it&#039;s 3rd year of serialization, with 40+ chapters and 2 million+ words in the main storyline alone, there&#039;s a lot to sink your teeth into if you&#039;re into this kind of thing.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Independence Day&#039;&#039;&#039; (1996). This is a must-see film. &amp;quot;We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We&#039;re going to live on! We&#039;re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
**Now having a sequel &#039;&#039;&#039;Fuck YOU ALIEN SCUM&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;[[Starship Troopers]]&#039;&#039; novel by Robert A. Heinlein. The &#039;&#039;ST&#039;&#039; movie by Paul Verhoeven has humanity taking Humanity Fuck Yeah by the balls and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIGHCoVzqtk cranking it up past 11]... and failing miserably at almost every turn for black comedy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Conan the Barbarian]] from Robert E. Howard, because going hand-to-hand combat with a cthulhu-like daemon-god and making it run away screaming in fear is the very definition of HFY. Remember that R.E.Howard and H.P.L. were friends, and many of the Cosmic Horror entities that HPL created are actually canon in Conan&#039;s universe, and he banishes them with brute force and axes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Incidentally H.P. Lovecraft, who was pals with Howard, got a few tales where humans beat back the Great Old Ones, namely The Dunwich Horror (elegan/tg/entlemen professors fight back a huge eldritch demigod), The Call of Cthulhu itself (badass norwegian officer ramming a ship against Cthulhu&#039;s head anyone?) and the Dream-Quest of unknown Kadath (/x/ dreamer rallies an army of ghouls and nightgaunts to kill lunar toad-like abominations and then storms Kadath, residence of Earth gods).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Damned trilogy, by Alan Dean Foster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Warhammer 40000, obviously, particularly when it comes to the [[Imperial Guard]]. Although admittedly, Humanity Occasionally Does Not Fuck Yeah here, but then again, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzPuK1vib_c here is the awesome].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Traveller&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Star Trek]] - yes, somehow. A note - the Mirror Universe episodes (TOS - Mirror Mirror, various DS9 ones, ENT - In A Mirror Darkly part I and II) in general are basically Humanity Fuck Yeah at it&#039;s best. In TOS-MU, everyone is more badass and horny, and mass killing alien scum who refuse to submit is the order of the day, but get told to make things better and more peaceful by our flawless prime universe counterparts. Does that sound like humanity to you? No? Good, because it&#039;s not because fuck that noise. Even their uniforms are more awesome (and sexy). ENT&#039;s In A Mirror Darkly shows the Empire at it&#039;s most brutal, starts with Zefram Cochrane &#039;&#039;&#039;trying the Vulcan salute, only to pull out a shotgun and shoot the Vulcan point blank!&#039;&#039;&#039; And from there, they straight up are attacking THE THOLIANS, and STEAL the USS Defiant from TOS&#039;s The Tholian Web! Many other shenanigans ensue.  No less than later in DS9 confirms that hippy peace kumbaya is bullshit as in the intervening 100 or so years, M-Spock became Emperor and instituted weakness, and the Empire is predictably overthrown by the Alliance (a Klingon/Cardassian dominated political order) - and it&#039;s not just humans that are mass enslaved, but all the core races who were cowed or bros with humans and the Empire like the Vulcans and Andorians. See, conquest and HFY is good for the galaxy! But thanks to efforts of people who find themselves on the other side like THE SISKO, not only do the enslaved start a rebellion, but by the last Mirror episode, are looking like they will seriously win it. According to some books, this was actually Emperor Spock&#039;s master plan - cause reform to weaken the Empire, and lead to it&#039;s seeming death, which would make him one of the best alien believers of HFY of all time. Eventually, revolution will come, and the Empire is reborn as a sort of human-centric Galactic Republic - shorn of all the weaknesses but with an unquenchable thirst for HFY. They are last seen conquering the Breen and Klings or some shit - pure [[awesome]]. Hell, lots of REGULAR Trek episodes eventually are filled with HFY - especially anything involving THE SISKO, later era [[Mary_Sue|Kathryn &amp;quot;KILL THEM ALL&amp;quot; Janeway]], or Section 31.&lt;br /&gt;
** Also, [http://beka-tiddalik.tumblr.com/post/150425828285/roachpatrol-deadcatwithaflamethrower a tumblr thread of utter hilarity] showed that compared to Vulcans, humanity is an entire species of Doc Browns -- a bunch of deranged hyper-neophiles tooling around in ships packed full of beyond-cutting-edge tech they don&#039;t actually understand very well. And constantly succeeding. When Vulcans have two warp cores, they experiment on one and save the other for a backup. When humans have two warp cores, they plug them both into a third warp core, travel to an alternate dimension, steal &#039;&#039;their&#039;&#039; warp cores and plug &#039;&#039;those&#039;&#039; together, punch their way back here, then try to turn a nearby sun into a torus because that was what their initial scientific experiment was for and they didn’t want to waste a trip. That happened last week and we still have no idea what the torus sun is supposed to accomplish.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mass Effect. Only on certain Renegade playthroughs, though; Paragon is hippy dippy &amp;quot;live in peace with xenos&amp;quot; Federation bullshit (to be fair, xenos in Mass Effect are actually friendly or reasonable, with a few exceptions). Even just the backstory has only-just-then-become-a-spacefaring-species humanity fighting a widely-feared and centuries-old galactic superpower to a standstill, followed up by earning their respect to such a degree that they let us jump the queue to join their galactic council club (or letting the current heads of the galactic council club die in battle so humanity fills the power vaccum).  Although is just in the first game; in the second and third games reality ensues, concepts are deconstructed and the only way to beat the several-million-millennia-old alien main villains is to turn their resources against them or humanity gets wiped out more thoroughly than the dinosaurs were (if you believe some dinosaurs evolved into birds).&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
* X-COM: UFO Defense. And XCOM Enemy Unknown/Within. Turns out humanity is the greatest hope the alien invaders have, and we&#039;re being tested to see if we are worthy of it (we are). And XCOM 2, because even when we lost the war, we WILL win it!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. &#039;&#039;&#039;BELIEVE IN THE ME WHO BELIEVES IN YOU!&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Gurren Lagann&#039;s precursor Getter Robo deserves mention, too. &#039;&#039;&#039;WHY DID THE GETTER RAYS CHOOSE LOWLY HUMANITY?!&#039;&#039;&#039; Also &#039;&#039;&#039;FUCK DINOSAURS!!&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Stargate, both SG-1 and Atlantis. Stargate is the most Humanity Fuck Yeah thing ever. A bunch of people extends Earth influence across the entire galaxy in less than ten years. When we manage to build the first real space combat vessels, it&#039;s too late. Job&#039;s already done, galaxy is ours. So we move to conquer the next one, with another bunch of people and a couple of ships. Entire races are wiped out by teams of five people armed with submachine guns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Pacific Rim.&#039;&#039;&#039; [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vU7XqToZso Ye Gods, Pacific Rim.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Halo, because being the [[Mary Sue|special snowflake race that can manipulate]] [[Old Ones|the technology of long dead, super-galactic, hyper advance aliens]] [[AWESOME|and yet still having the &amp;quot;Humanity first and only bitch!&amp;quot; personality, as well as standing up to (and winning against) a massive alien hedgmoney and then an omnivorous parasite in a war lasting nearly THIRTY YEARS gives the UNSC the honorable status.]] . Further noted due to the UNSC Marines (Whose personality is a fusion between Alien&#039;s Colonial Marines and Starship Trooper&#039;s Mobile Infantry) and because the UNSC built a NOVA bomb which is a petaton-exaton thermonuclear bomb that vaporized an entire covenant fleet in orbit and the entire nightside of a planet, and completely SHATTERS another when its detonated on the surface.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Command and Conquer]] Tiberium Wars. While it sucks compared to the earlier ones, Xeno scum come to harvest Tiberium on our planet, then find out they got played like a bunch of fools. More forces wouldn&#039;t have helped the Scrin, Kane has a motherfucking Scrin battleship he built &#039;&#039;&#039;when Bill Clinton was president&#039;&#039;&#039;, and another crashed UFO chilling out in Egypt. &amp;lt;s&amp;gt; What the hell were the expecting, trying to fight a grandchild of [[God]]? &amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; They were expecting no resistance because they assumed all life on the planet had been consumed by Tiberium. The Scrin &amp;quot;invasion force&amp;quot; had only come to Earth to harvest Tiberium.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Marvel Cinematic Universe. At numerous points in the setting (read: every other week), everything from alien empires and planet-eaters to GODS come to Earth looking to squash humanity like a Warboss sitting on a grot. They’ve conquered/destroyed/eaten every species/planet/galaxy they’ve encountered up to that point. Humanity’s heroes fly up and kick them in the dick!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Salvation War. Demons invade Earth and begin attacking cities. In response, we invade Hell, curbstomp the forces of Chaos (they expect us to have swords, we actually have tanks and big fucking guns) and even end up perma-killing Satan with a ship-to-ship missile. THEN we invade Heavens and exterminate angels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*GATE: Thus The Self-Defense Force Fought There. Related to the above, but its other humans from a magical realm with mystical creatures backing them up invading modern-day Tokyo. Turns out swords and shields dont work to well against machine guns and attack helicopters...and then the JSDF proceeds to roll through the gate they came from and basically conquer the entire world on the other side...without a single casualty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Gears of War. A horde of inhuman killing beasts erupt from every human city and then later on our would-be &#039;fuel&#039; turns out to be an ever-infectious virus of OMNOMNOM! which screws both of our races up. We came back, re-strengthen our forces and gave a response which includes the massacre of all three species including ours via mass orbital bombardment of lasers from SPEHS!, detonation of a bomb that kills by intense light and heat akin to a flashy nuke, the flooding of every cave and hole on our planet(by sinking our last sanctuary no less) and the detonation a fucking NEUTRON BOMB... all because we could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The annihilation series. Book one love conquers all. It&#039;s a stupid name but the book is really good it&#039;s about a boy who figures out that he has psychic powers that grant him the ability to fuck over people&#039;s shit the 2nd book is where things get crazy. An alien race who are arrogant and want nothing more then the human race to be gtfo go behind the galatic alliances back and attacks a colony killing 1/3 of the population. That&#039;s when the humans go batshit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The humourous Poul Anderson novel &amp;quot;The High Crusade&amp;quot;. A hyper-advanced alien empire tries to &#039;ave a go at medieval England and get hilariously rolled over because EMP doesn&#039;t work on knights and longbowmen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Peter Bergs&#039; Battleship. Generally shit storyline; basically aliens come down to Earth to fuck shit up, and accidentally land in the middle of a global naval wargame.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Factorio. The premise sounds weaker than most other entries here, but considering you start with nothing but a steam drill, and you are going to have to wipe the floor with the local [[Tyranids|giant bug creatures]], even the smallest of which is about the size of a Smart car, in order to expand your mining, smelting and assembling industries, it is pretty much &#039;&#039;&#039;GENOCIDE! MINING! GENOCIDE! MINING! GENOCIDE! MINING!: &#039;&#039;THE GAME.&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yDZM0diiYc To whit].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* All Brotherhood of Steel Fallout 4 breakthroughs. The Brotherhood supports genocide of all the non-human abominations that exist throughout the wasteland. Ad Victoriam! The Minutemen kinda qualify as well for the same reason as the Rimworld example listed above - less on the non-human killing, but instead its humans coming together, working together, and taming the everloving shit out of the irradiated and mutant-infested swamps of Massachusetts (post-nuclear war, must clarify) to make the cosiest apocalypse ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* While on the topic of [[Fallout]], the Enclave are most definitely HFY. Using a modified virus to systematically wipe out any and all mutated scum that rove the wasteland like it&#039;s theirs is a prime example of how awesome humans are at causing mass destruction, and even if a certain tribal mutant was able to infiltrate their base and blow it up, the legacy of the human patriotism of the Enclave will always live on. In New Vegas, even down to only five [[Old Ones|oldfags]] and a snot nosed kid, they kick veritable &#039;&#039;ass&#039;&#039;. Though this one&#039;s a little up-to-you, as the Enclave were a wee bit too enthusiastic about the genocide part of HFY for their own good, as they actually wanted to bump off most of the human population of the post-apocalyptic US too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Muv Luv franchise. In 1967, all consuming aliens (BETA - Beings of Extra Terrestrial origin which is an Adversary of the human race) are found on [[Mars]] during the explorations there. They land on the Moon, and even though we stand no chance then on the moon, America fights back with fucking prototype SPACE MARINES, space fighters, and re-purposing exoskeletal lifters as power armor. While the universe proves to run on a lot of Humanity What The Fuck Are You Doing too (the first BETA Hive on Earth lands in Kashgar, [[Derp|and the PRC and USSR get greedy letting them get powerful enough, so they can harvest whatever goodies they have]]. When they try landing a hive in Canada, America says &amp;quot;lol fuck no&amp;quot; and nukes the Hive to oblivion with only minimal apologies). What makes it so wonderful is that even for decades, as humanity loses constantly, as literally children are forced to fight, the breathing HFY of everyone involved making last stands and killing wave upon wave of alien scum in [[awesome]] mechs or as infantry on the battleline is enough to make you shed [[manly tears]]. Even when we&#039;re down to less than one billion people, we do NOT, STOP, FIGHTING. And then to crown it, in 2001, we have our first major victory with a captured Hive. The main storyline ends with humanity just about ready to start the great reconquest of Eurasia.The snippets in Exogularity show how AWESOME Humanity has become with the break-neck technological advancement fueled by alien tech. I mean Shielding, Mecha Hand-held practicle beam weapons, ships that have length measure in 8KM-9KM and HUNDREDS of G-17B(Descendants of the Susanoo, which they use to GLASS BETA hives on Mars) and other shits. HFY indeed.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Doom]], Doom 2, Doom 3, and DOOM. Because one human can slaughter every breathing thing on two moons and then in Hell. And again. And again. The reboot takes it even further by taking the whole &amp;quot;ancient evil being locked away to prevent it wiping us out&amp;quot; trope and &#039;&#039;&#039;reversing it&#039;&#039;&#039;. So you, the human main character, is the ancient evil while the demons are the horrified and massacred prison wardens. &#039;&#039;&#039;Fuck yeah.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Pokemon. I mean, mere human children can capture and enslave(those little balls they use to contain GIANT MOTHERFRICKIN DRAGONS! must be some brainwashing device!) peaceful creatures and then force those peaceful fire-breathing, water-spouting, grass-grassing monsters to fight each other to the death while the kids... KIDS! just stand behind them giving them orders. Also these little kids at the age of 10 are expected to go off on their own around the globe for fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Space Battleship Yamato. Aliens (humans with green skin... they count right?) enter our solar system and we blow their spaceship up for no reason! Then our arse gets handed to us as they start bombarding our planet with meteorites using a tractor beam. However the moment a friendly alien race (hot chicks) gives us a power generator what do we do? We use it to invent a destructive ima-firin-my-lazor-cannon stick both items into a battleship turned spaceship, send that one ship off on its own to go get a life-saving tech thingy from hot chic aliens while single handedly blowing up an entire space empire armada... [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs7r9NUlAuI All with a kickass main theme]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The space opera grand strategy game by Paradox, Stellaris, can be played many different ways and allows you to go full HFY if you would like, you could even play as human fanatic purifiers. HFY is encouraged by one of the preset empires, The Commonwealth of Man, a xenophobic and militaristic faction of humans bent on enslaving xenos and dominating the galaxy. Refreshingly, humanity isn&#039;t actually special; if humanity wants to go full HFY, then they must work for it just like any other species.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Rescue Party by Arthur C. Clarke. While there is not conflict in the short story it still counts. Hippie aliens arrive on Earth only hours before the sun will explode, destroying the planet. The mission of the hippie aliens is to try to save as many people and as much of the culture as possible. Normally the galactic civilization does surveys of planets every one million years for new species, but the human race did not exist the last time the survey was done – four hundred thousand years before. We simply evolved too fast for them! However, radio signals had been detected on a planet 200 light years away, indicating intelligent life had arisen. They arrive, but nobody is home. As they search for any living humans, we learn that its typical for races to take thousand of years between the invention of the radio and space flight. The only thing they find is a communication tower beaming into space. They follow the beam with their FTL ships and discover an enormous fleet of rocket space ships (the largest fleet in galactic history), traveling into space without any FTL tech. Their tiny alien minds melt in the face of the sheer determination and steel balls Humanity posses. As they watch Humanity flying toward their birth right of total Galactic domination, the hippie aliens know that they are fucked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Worldwar&#039;&#039;&#039; by Harry Turtledove. A series of eight alternative history novels. World War II is doing well, and humanity is having a lot of fun with itself, until 1942, when the reptilan aliens known as the Race  attack. They start off by detonating nuclear weapons in the stratosphere, creating EMPs, which most developed nations don&#039;t even notice, because primitive vacuum tubes don&#039;t care about that at all. Their technology is pretty superior to the humans&#039;, but humans have a knack for thinking so far outside the box that the box can&#039;t even be seen anymore, combined with the fact that they simply don´t give up, like, at all. Notable HFY moments include all human armies, including lots of nasty partisan groups pretty much halting their previous conflicts, and all descending on their new, common foe (almost makes you pity the invaders); humans destroying an alien spaceship with a motherfucking huge cannon (hint: Dora), humans turning the aliens into drug addicts and disrupting their whole culture with their &#039;&#039;corruptive nature&#039;&#039;, an alien invasion on Britain stopped by chemical warfare, humans nuking a whole alien fleet killing millions, and finally humans driving the Aliens away and forcing them to accept a jolly human tradition: peace by &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;mutual assured destruction&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The [[Transformers]] &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Beast Wars: Uprising&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; series of comics and short stories covering the intervening years between the Generation One and Beast Wars cartoons is an interesting case, focusing entirely on the aliens and rather than depicting the conflict with humanity itself, it deals with the disastrous effect that being on the receiving end of an HFY story has on their society. Tired of being caught up in the Autobots&#039; and Decepticons&#039; various conflicts, humanity steadily grows more and more militarized and eventually kicks the Transformers off Earth and forces them back to their dying homeworld of Cybertron. Confined to a single planet with limited supplies of energy, Cybertronian society begins to unravel even worse than it was before as the larger Transformers are left crippled due to their high fuel requirements and begin using smaller ones to fight in proxy wars. The Autobot/Decepticon conflict soon gives way to infighting as the energy crisis exacerbates the already existing inequalities between the two factions various sub-groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==An Alternate Take on HFY==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
— Proverbs 16:18&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9g2r0SdEZc| I&#039;d like to share a revelation that I&#039;ve had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species, and I realized that you&#039;re not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment; but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer on this planet. You are a plague, and we...are the cure.]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
- Agent Smith, &#039;&#039;The Matrix&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What started as a reasonable response to human suffering in fiction has blossomed into a cringe-fest of masturbatory autism that can be seen in the page quote. [[Eldar|Haughty pride, arrogance,]] [[Imperial Cult|zealotry, blind idiocy, self-righteousness,]] and many more vices are enabled by such tooting of our own metaphorical horns. [[Cancer|The worst part is how this attitude spreads to other fandoms like wildfire, even if humans or aliens aren&#039;t interacting with each other or even involved in the setting!]] The irony kicks in when you realize that many of the idols that HFY memers get their [[Heresy|Idolatry on for]] would be disappointed at such vainglorious pride, the [[If the Emperor had a Text-to-Speech Device|The Man-peror of Mankind]] would not approve! Even more ironic is how this attitude is exactly the same as [[Matt Ward|a certain fluff rapist]] [[Ultramarines|and his favored infallible, can&#039;t do wrong, and always victorious]] [[Mary Sue|mary sues.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The real crime however, is how HFY quashes new ideas, sucking the rest of the entire fandom down a creative black hole. Guess you can in fact get sick of winning in fiction all the time!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basically put, what little potential HFY had has long since been stifled in a sea of mental masturbation over our own imaginary greatness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So when would such attitudes be appropriate? In dangerous settings where such attitudes are backed up my much human suffering and bloodshed. In settings where we truly earned the right to be a bit proud of our survival. [[Warhammer 40K|In settings where humanity is beset on sides by hostile foes within and without, eternally under siege, with their very vices and souls threatening to rebel against the- hey wait a minute...]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
HFY tends to manifest itself especially terribly in fanfiction, where whole fandoms are plagued by a never ending slew of shitty fix fics that look at settings where humanity is already ridiculously special for no good reason and already has disproportionate influence on the setting and is already among the setting&#039;s winners and go &amp;quot;nah, humans need to win some more&amp;quot;. Thus turning the sentiment into a code for &amp;quot;this fanfiction is shit written by some moron who doesn&#039;t understand how dramatic tension works&amp;quot; and turning HFY from a statement of pride to an ironic statement of mockery and a seal of low quality writing. The worst kinds of these fanfics tend to be written by people who legitimately think that the [[/pol/|unfamiliar needs to be purged]] and it all starts reading rather disturbingly like Mein Kampf more than good literature (and worst of all, these fanfics will also have writing quality about as good as Mein Kampf, which is legendarily terrible and incoherent if you&#039;re unfamiliar with it) as the more mouthbreather type of fan projects their race war fantasies where they think no one will notice. However, much like with FATAL or Racial Holy War or other works written by the inbred, these attempts to escape notice tend to fail and instead will only draw further mockery upon discovery. Original works, even on /tg/, are little better in this respect due to the community that springs around them acting like an echo chamber to drown out any kind of negative feedback no matter how justified it may be. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most important rule in any story with a conflict is of course a need to maintain tension.  If people win without effort, it gets very boring very quickly unless effortless victory and anti-climax is the whole joke (and most fanfic writers simply aren&#039;t funny enough to make the space opera/high fantasy equivalent of one punch man and probably shouldn&#039;t try to either), so when you start writing humans as simply piledriving everyone in the way without trying you end up making the humans more insufferable than pretty much any variety of Elf has ever been. Instead of badasses, you have turned our species into uninteresting Mary Sues who most people who don&#039;t have their heads up their asses will start to root against, much like how people generally start rooting against a sports team that always seems to win.   With no effort being expended, there&#039;s no reason to care about the struggle because there is no struggle to care about. Bad HFY forgets all this in favor of what amounts to masturbation via text and unfortunately, as most writers aren&#039;t all that great, most HFY fics will tend to be of the shitty tensionless curbstomp variety where humanity does nothing to deserve any victory it gets.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can express how great humanity is, but always remember these few rules:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Don&#039;t make everyone else stupid, this is not only a lazy means of making your favoured faction right it&#039;s also one of the strongest signifiers for a Mary Sue as not only are they always right, anyone against them is a moron and probably eats babies too.   Do make humans suffer setbacks and make mistakes, nobody wants to read about a hero who is never challenged and never stumbles or fucks up.&lt;br /&gt;
**To quote an old saying &amp;quot;to err is to human&amp;quot;, someone without flaw is more akin to a god (or God) than an actual person, so don&#039;t go that route unless the character is a god or God (whether you believe in a god/God/religion or not, that is a subject that should be handled with care). Push them to the brink of destruction and have them claw their way back up from nothing instead of acting as if the universe will bend over backwards for them on account of their species alone. And remember to give them humility as a result of whatever struggle they go through; they should be very much aware they&#039;re little fish in a very big pond. &lt;br /&gt;
*Don&#039;t use &amp;quot;human ingenuity&amp;quot; as an advantage; this trope is so tiresomely played out that it produces nothing but eyerolling these days, especially since it tends to be a signifier that you&#039;ve created a planet of hats setting where humanity is the only species not forced to have a hat (ironic, since this is itself a hat). This is lazy and overdone so don&#039;t do it. &lt;br /&gt;
**Elevating things like &amp;quot;pragmatism&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;brutality&amp;quot; in its place is just as bad if not even worse, because they make humanity look like a race of [[Tyranids|all-devouring monsters that leave nothing but destruction in their wake]] who need to be wiped out for the sake of all other sentient life in the universe.&lt;br /&gt;
*Don&#039;t force humanity into a hat itself either, saying things like &amp;quot;humans are good diplomats/warriors&amp;quot; is easily disproven by just looking at about a hundred randomly selected people so it&#039;s always going to ring kind of false to people in the real world. Do give people weaknesses of some sort, whether cultural or physical or governmental some kind of flaw will help to make humanity seem human instead of efficiency obsessed robots. After all, racial hat simple means the result of averages fitting into the global-galactic niche. If Salarian artists (which *do* exist) would have overtaken the galactic culture by chance and random luck in the universe of Mass Effect, we would come to believe Salarians are a race of smart artists.&lt;br /&gt;
**Do give other species nuance of their own, just as you shouldn&#039;t give out a hat to humanity, you should try to avoid essentially typecasting the races in your setting without a very good explanation like Orks having their mentalities being genetically programmed or a species being an outright hive mind, this just makes everyone more interesting overall.&lt;br /&gt;
*It&#039;s ridiculous to assume that alien life evolved (or was created, depending on the story and who you ask) along the same lines as we did. Consider showing how humans are just as unsuited for alien environments as the aliens would be unsuited for our own. Oh sure, we can breathe oxygen, but outside any Earth-like planet that&#039;s just a liability. What good is that when the air on most inhabitable planets either has minimal oxygen or flat-out poisons us?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While these tips are just generally good for worldbuilding and story telling, they should always be taken into account by anyone who wants to write HFY without falling into the ubiquitous pitfalls.&lt;br /&gt;

Humanity, fuck yeah.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Let me tell you about humans, using something I&#039;m familiar with in anthropology. When a Shoshone warrior wants a pony, he goes to a herd, picks one, and walks toward it. Naturally, the pony runs away. The Shonone follows, day and night just walking, usually for three full days. Pony runs away, man just keeps walking at a steady pace.  Finally the pony simply collapses from exhaustion after running away for days, and the man walks up and puts a bridle on it. That is the kind of monster humans are.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Dark Elves.jpg|right|350px|thumb|An example of elves who are neither pansies or mary sues (It helps that they&#039;re surrounded by corpses and the leader is riding a [[Awesome|dinosaur]]). ]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{topquote|Nothing is ever done in this world until men are prepared to kill each other if it is not done.|George Bernard Shaw}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Dark Elves&#039;&#039;&#039; (or &#039;&#039;&#039;Druchii&#039;&#039;&#039; in Druhir) of [[Naggaroth]] are one of the major races/civilizations of [[Warhammer Fantasy]] and the dark kin of the [[High Elves (Warhammer)|High Elves]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike most elves, these elves usually get approval of /tg/ for a variety of reasons.  This includes taking their arrogance to its peak and seeing non-elves as slaves/vermin, using technology, scantily clad women (for the fa/tg/uys), not being nature-lovers but being able to tame awesome monsters (including the aforementioned dinosaur mounts) and using ranged weapons other than bows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Dim history to modern day ==&lt;br /&gt;
Once upon a fucking time, there was an elf named Malekith, who was the child of the King Aenarion and the Sorceress Morathi. When Aenarion died attempting to fuck a Daemon of Chaos, there was a debate amongst the Princes of Ulthuan as to who would become the next Phoenix King. Now Malekith expected the princes to choose him, but they instead chose Prince Bel Shanaar of Tiranoc, because they (rightly) feared that Malekith would militarize Ulthuan and go about destroying and conquering shit around the world. Now of course, this decision made Malekith make a huge temper tantrum and vowed to take his rightful place as ruler of Ulthuan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So after a series of events that involved lots of lying, backstabbing, secret bargains and other douchebaggery, Malekith poisoned Bel Shanaar (specifically, he grabbed him and forced him to drink a goblet of poisoned wine after being offered it but tried to politely refuse), and killed many of the Princes gathered in the Shrine of Asuryan. When Malekith stepped into the Flame of Asuryan&lt;br /&gt;
to prove he was the true king of Ulthuan, the flames burned his ass and spat him out because it didn&#039;t like the taste of his dickery. So after his followers escaped with their charred leader, Morathi saved her son from death and commissioned a renegade priest of Vaul to create the Armor of Midnight and welded it to Malekiths flesh. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So after a long civil war, Malekith and his followers were banished from Ulthuan and sailed to a new land, via the city sized Black Arks, which they named Naggaroth and renamed themselves the Druchii (Dark Elves). To this day, Malekith and the Druchii continue fighting the Asur in order to take revenge against their hated kin (because daddy&#039;s little prince can&#039;t be happy being king of a race and a new land, no he has to have the one particular crown after all...kind of being a bit spoiled there Malekith me old mate).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The End Times == &lt;br /&gt;
So Games Workshop decided to end the canon stalemate that the Dark Elves and High Elves have enjoyed for the last fifteen or so years by pressing the big red button and activating complete destruction on the Warhammer world. The sheer amount of changes are staggering but for the Dark Elves it primarily means this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- It seems Malekith was meant to be the one true Phoenix King all along and only didn&#039;t get the crown because he didn&#039;t stay in the flames one second longer (wut?) but this is now corrected and now he is not the Witch King but Eternity King Malekith, all hail!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Naggaroth got invaded by a big hordes of stinky Khornates who pretty much destroyed the country. Malekith though couldn&#039;t care less about it and left along with his people after salting the earth and wrecking the cities so the Chaos hordes won&#039;t have any plunder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Morathi was left to rot in her tower by her son after he finally tired of her slagging figure and now she has been picked up by grand pimp Slaanesh. Cue lolz for the epic just desserts for the spiteful bitch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Malus got ripped apart by his own inner daemon as it grew strong enough to escape thus causing many fan powers of Darkblade to grief and gnaw on their fingernails in fury.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Dark Elves are no more as Malekith becomes rightful king of all elfkind and merges the three kinds (dark, high and wood) back into one flavour and sets up his new kingdom in Athel Loren.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All in all the Dark Elves don&#039;t really exist any more. We just now have Elves. Cue the arguments among elf players over the fact they now have to be besties with races they considered their arch-foes in the past. Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Society ==&lt;br /&gt;
Dark Elf society can be summed as pretty much fucked up. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Druchii love raiding, pillaging, enslaving and killing the lesser races but especially their hated kin. May whatever God have mercy on the bastards that have been unlucky enough to be enslaved by them. Chances are that they&#039;ll inflict such horrific tortures upon the slaves that it will make Ramsay Bolton&#039;s torture of Theon Greyjoy look like a picnic. Alternatively they will gruesomely sacrifice them to Khaine. Doing slave labor isn&#039;t any better, since they&#039;ll be continuously whipped or beaten to work until exhaustion, after which they&#039;ll still be tortured or sacrificed (and on the rare occasions they do get fed, you don&#039;t want to know what the food is or where they got it). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Druchii also have this fun little event called &amp;quot;Death Night&amp;quot;, a ten-day (8th change it to just one) orgy of bloodshed where the Witch Elves go door to door and kill some people in sacrifice to Khaine and kidnap children. Females are sent to become Witch Elves &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;or Sorceresses&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; (Witch Elves and Sorceresses hate each other) whilst males are thrown into a boiling cauldron of blood, and any lucky enough to survive are trained to become Assassins. All the inhabitants can do during this particular night is to blockade their homes and pray for the best, for if the Witch Elves decide to choose theirs, tough luck for them (unless they can bribe the temple with a HUGE slave donation, then they might be spared).  The next day, it&#039;s customary for families spared the attentions of the Witch Elves to sacrifice a member of their household to Khaine in gratitude (in practice often a slave or an elderly relative). Recently, a number of Dark Elf social commentators have complained that Death Night these days is far too commercialized, what with Death Night cards and Morathi costumes going on sale as many as six months in advance. Honestly, Elflings these days have quite forgotten about the true meaning of Death Night. Back in my day, it was all about Khaine! The slaughter! The tradition!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How the fuck they get anything done is anyone&#039;s guess. It&#039;s odd that they seem to still outnumber the High Elves (despite High Elves almost always inflicting far heavier casualties then they do), although their constant sexual orgies may be a contributing factor to their population size. Also, some parts of the lore have implied they kidnap High Elf children and babies to raise as Dark Elves. Then there&#039;s High Elf and Wood Elf defectors. In reality, it&#039;s because Games Workshop has admitted they just write whatever numbers they want at the time and there are as many Elves as the plot demands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Druchii believe that the strong should rule over the weak. They plot against each other on a daily basis in order to advance themselves in the noble hierarchy (just think the great houses playing the game of thrones in a Song of Ice and Fire except with Dark Elves and dialed to eleven). The only ones above them all are Malekith and Morathi. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because of a prophecy which states that Malekith will be killed by a Sorcerer, males have been forbidden to practicing magic. 7th edition does state that male spellcasters exist, they just have to keep their practices a secret.  8th edition shows the ones who were alive when Malekith came to power are still around, only Malekith sold their souls to Slaanesh so they&#039;re too busy trying not to get their souls raped to try and murder his ass.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dark Elves have a hobby of taming vicious monsters to serve as beasts of war (though with great difficulty depending on what they are). They were able tame Cold Ones, Manticores (though their bloodlust leads to temporary losses of control as the Manticore goes LEEROY), sea monsters including the Kharibdyss (though they&#039;re so ravenous and primeval the Dark Elves occasionally lose control of them with mass Dark Elf casualties, starting with the handlers), fire breathing Hydras and Black Dragons (though the dragons are intelligent enough that it&#039;s as much an alliance as taming).  But for some reason, they are unable to control Harpies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Cities ==&lt;br /&gt;
Due to the End Times canon, you can consider this list of cities now outdated because at the last count they are now all salted and burned to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Naggarond&#039;&#039;&#039;, the Tower of Cold, capital of the realm:  A ECKSBAWKSHUEG city (the gates alone are fifty feet high), Naggarond has everything a Dark Elf could want.  Sacrificial altars, barracks, a citadel in the middle and even shops (many that sell BDSM attire).  At the top of the citadel is the Witch King&#039;s throne room where he can (via magic) view anywhere in the entire world (watch his armies march, obsess over Ulthuan, spy on people in the shower, that sort of thing).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Ghrond&#039;&#039;&#039;, the North Tower:  Less a city and more a fortress, it&#039;s proximity to the chaos wastes lets Dark Elf sorceresses see the future in the magical auroras or something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Karond Kar&#039;&#039;&#039;, the Tower of Despair:  Pretty much the main city for all the Dark Elves beastmasters, and where they keep their zoos.  Since Dark Elves view non Elves as little better than animals, it&#039;s also the first place in Naggaroth that most of the slaves who survive the journey will see.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Hag Graef&#039;&#039;&#039;, the Dark Crag: This delightful place is a slave&#039;s worst nightmare. Hag Graef is a city located in a valley where the mountains reach so high that it blots out the sun (hence the name &amp;quot;The Dark Crag&amp;quot;). Slaves are forced to work day and night without rest or else feel the sting of the whip or (of course) something even worse. And if the slaves are lucky to die, the Warpstone mined reanimates their corpses. Hag Graef was also the site of one of Malekith&#039;s dickeries where he poisoned the rebelling lords and only gave them the antidote if they swore fealty to him... Yeah, what a dick.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Har Ganeth&#039;&#039;&#039;, City of Executioners: This is the last place you want to be, since this is the HQ of the Cult of Khaine. If you are a resident, be prepared to fight for your life on a daily basis, since your neighbor or the local priest/priestess of Khaine will want your blood running in the streets. If you are a slave, prepare to be sacrificed to Khaine by hot, sexy and psychopathic Witch Elves in the most gruesome way imaginable.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Clar Karond&#039;&#039;&#039;, the Tower of Doom:  Naggaroth&#039;s primary shipyard.  Surrounded by forests and near the entrance to the underground sea the Dark Elves use to travel to kingdoms worth plundering safely.  Regular passtimes include hunting escaped slaves, monster hunts, and gladiator matches between those same slaves and/or monsters. [[Matt Ward|Now rivals of Karond Kar in place for the beastmaster roles]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Matt Ward|The following was added in 8th Edition]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Har Kaldra&#039;&#039;&#039;, the Forgotten City:  Little is known about it, except Morathi covertly incited them to rebel against Malekith&#039;s rule to make him stop spending all day in front of his computer and get shit done again.  Malekith destroyed the city in a night with magic, but went back to Morathi&#039;s basement.  A theory is that Har Kaldra was Naggaroth&#039;s breadbasket and the city&#039;s destruction reduced the harvest enough that it&#039;s the reason the Dark Elves turned to piracy to sustain their nation, but GW wasn&#039;t clever enough to come up with that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Religion==&lt;br /&gt;
See [[Warhammer Fantasy Elf Gods]] for further details on just who&#039;s who in the Dark Elf religious circles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Characters ==&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Malekith]]&#039;&#039;&#039;: The Witch King of Naggaroth and ruler of the Dark Elves who still lives with his mother. Scratch that, he is now the pimped out Eternity King Malekith, kicker of asses, particularly his mother&#039;s since he left her to Slaanesh&#039;s sweet graces.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Morathi]]&#039;&#039;&#039;: Hag Queen of Naggaroth, Mother of Malekith and leader of the Sorceresses of Ghrond.  Often tried to undermine him and manipulate him.  She is now being daemon-whipped in Slaanesh&#039;s pleasure palace after Naggaroth was destroyed and the Dark elves no more.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Malus Darkblade]]&#039;&#039;&#039;: A champion of the Witch King and lord of Hag Graef who is cursed with the Daemon Tz&#039;arkan inhabiting his body. He is also the wielder of the Warpsword of Khaine. As part of the character cull in fantasy he is dead, very dead, after Tz&#039;arkan gained a great deal of power during the recent Chaos uprising and ripped Malus&#039;s body apart from the inside to escape. Ouch!&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Hellebron&#039;&#039;&#039;: Second oldest of the Hag Queens and leader of the Cult of Khaine. She loathes Morathi because she had forbidden her into taking age rejuvenating bloodbaths (no pun intended) in the Cauldron of Blood.  After Malekith became Eternity King and Khaine died Hellebron had a crisis of faith and was corrupted by Bea&#039;lakor.  At Middenheim she got into a catfight with Alarielle, where the former cured Hellebron of her psychosis then stabbed her in the heart.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Ebnir Soulflayer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Most trusted general of Malekith. Tried to unite the Druchii in the Witch King&#039;s absence against the Bloodied Horde at the onset of the End Times. Wasn&#039;t easy. Didn&#039;t work.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Tullaris Deathbringer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Champion of the Har Ganeth Executioners. Actually managed to critically wound Phoenix King Tyrion in close combat, at the battle of Reaver&#039;s Mark and would have killed him had it not been for Nagash&#039;s earth shaking ritual of undeath. Point for Dark Elves. Well liked by everyone really.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Kouran Darkhand&#039;&#039;&#039;: Master of the Black Guard of Naggarond during the End Times. Took overall command of the city&#039;s defenses when the Chaos forces broke into the realm in their millions. Held the city for three months until Malekith&#039;s return. Fought Valkia the Bloody to a stalemate on more than one occasion. Royal boss.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Drane Brackblood&#039;&#039;&#039;: Admiral of the Fleet on the last assault on Ulthuan.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Lokhir Fellheart &#039;&#039;&#039;: Pirate Lord. Defended the ports of Karond Kar. &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Drusala&#039;&#039;&#039;: Sorceress Bitch. &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;Agent of Morathi&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; Morathi in disguise, see above.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Lurhan&#039;&#039;&#039;: Assistant to the ruler of Hag Graef.  Malus&#039; father.  Horrible father (though an excellent one by Dark Elf standards).  Hates Malus and wants him dead, and the feelings mutual.  Tries to have him killed covertly because a direct attempt on his life would provoke the wrath of Malus&#039; mother.  Killed by Malus on Malus&#039; quest.  &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Bruglir&#039;&#039;&#039;: Oldest half brother of Malus.  In an incestuous relationship with his sister Yasmir.  Renowned captain of a Corsair fleet, though not that renowned otherwise he would&#039;ve been given a Black Ark.  Has a moustache in the books, making him one of those rare elves with facial hair besides eyebrows.  Killed by Malus.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Isilvar&#039;&#039;&#039;: Half brother of Malus and an entrepreneur among Dark Elf merchants.  Covert Slaanesh worshipper and in an incestuous relationship with his sister Nagaira.  &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Yasmir&#039;&#039;&#039;: Half sister of Malus and the most beautiful woman in Hag Graef.  Was in an incestuous relationship with her brother Bruglir.  Called the Bride of Ruin, while Malus is the Lord of Ruin. &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Nagaira&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Half sister of Malus, a sorceress of some power and very curvy, which makes her fat by Dark Elf standards. Had an on-again off-again incestuous relationship with Malus, an ongoing one with her brother Isilvar and she is also a secret Slaanesh worshipper.  &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Urial&#039;&#039;&#039;: Half brother of Malus.  Born crippled because Malus&#039; mother poisoned him during pregnancy.  He was given as a sacrifice to Khaine for being a cripple, but a miracle occured and he became a rare male priest of Khaine.  Lusts for his sister Yasmir.  &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Urian&#039;&#039;&#039;: Agent of Malekith within Ulthuan.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Hauclir&#039;&#039;&#039;: Malus&#039;s bro.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* According to the map, Naggaroth takes up part of what is the United States. Goes to show what GW thinks of the colonies.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;We poison our air and water to weed out the weak! We set off fission bombs in our only biosphere! We nailed our God to a stick!&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Don&#039;t fuck with the human race!&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Out of all threads that appear at the [[/tg/]], it is this kind of threads that hold that one special place in the hearts of [[neckbeards|fa/tg/uys]]. It shows [[Humans|humanity]] for what it really is: a savage but superior bunch of mighty and brilliant alphas with machines that [[rape]] any organism that dares stand in its path, then proceed to do the same to any aliens across which they come, as they are all pathetically inferior in every way. This can take many forms, including military, cultural, culinary, and sexual(is surprisingly not much). The foremost is the most common in these stories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many glorious hours of dedicated hard work were given to these threads, the finest lines of which would make any xeno race run to the edge of the known universe, even if the humans were still in the stone age. Reasons why humans are such a threat to the rest of the galaxy are various, but a good deal can be summed up in the following list:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Our evolution&#039;&#039;&#039; - We evolved and THRIVED on all range of extreme environments all over the Earth, from the infernal heat of Africa where everything is trying to KILL YOU! &#039;&#039;&#039;ALL THE TIME!&#039;&#039;&#039;, to the frigid apocalyptic wastelands of the North and the Ice Age where survival depended on constant invention and ingenuity. Aliens usually evolved on some herbivore world or become less &amp;quot;on their guard&amp;quot; due to centuries of living away from nature, not troubled by survival.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Our history&#039;&#039;&#039; - Humans have been getting better at killing each other basically even &#039;&#039;&#039;before&#039;&#039;&#039; they made stone axes, and we got [[awesome|better]] over time. You think proud warrior races have shit on us? Spartan style training they undergo makes only a handful of survivors. No matter how good they are, we&#039;ll just drown them in conscripts. We also nearly went extinct once, BECAUSE A &#039;&#039;&#039;HUGE&#039;&#039;&#039; VOLCANO EXPLODED, making us only have about 5000 INDIVIDUALS left and of them ONLY 40 PAIRS were BREEDING ONES. Did that make us quit? NOPE. Only about 70000 years later we had 7,4 BILLION INDIVIDUALS, having 100 TIMES more biomass than any other large animal species in the history of our planet!!! That is a [[Promotions|hell of a lot of breeding]] (which has also made us have a very low genetic variety almost making us inbred but not quite. BUT STILL)! The moral of the story is that do not fuck with us, xenos. No matter what you do WE WILL SURVIVE. And after a while: WE. WILL. THRIVE.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Our bodies&#039;&#039;&#039; - We&#039;re the ultimate Omnivores, we hunt down, kill, burn and eat absolutely anything until totally nothing is left, even more so than so-called &amp;quot;apex&amp;quot; predators like lions, bears, snakes and sharks (in fact, contrary to what &#039;&#039;Jaws&#039;&#039; may lead you to believe, we &#039;&#039;eat&#039;&#039; sharks so much, hunting them down to near extinction. Why? Simply because they make &#039;&#039;fancy soup&#039;&#039;). We are like [[Tyranids]] without a hive mind. We also drink alcohol, one of the most volatile, flammable, caustic solvents in chemistry that is for all intents and purposes, POISON. It&#039;s the same toxic stuff used to [[Exterminatus]] bacteria, fungi and everything else biological, and a VX-like neurotoxin to invertebrates, arthropods and almost every other small animal. Why? Because it&#039;s FUN!&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Our mind&#039;&#039;&#039; -The most terrifying aspect of us would probably be our brains and technology. Our aggressive instincts combined with our intelligence will never cease to come up with better and deadlier ways to warp reality in our own Image, and to torture and exterminate the enemy, and such would probably seem like incomprehensible Lovecraftian Magic to lower species. Our modern tech would scare the shit out of tribal communities. We have exterminated a lot of species like the Dodo &#039;&#039;simply by uncaring accident&#039;&#039; (which is probably why &#039;&#039;&#039;we are thriving during an extinction event&#039;&#039;&#039; (for now at least)). What we can come up with scares the shit out of ourselves even. Think Nuclear Weapons and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_assured_destruction M.A.D.] for example.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As you can see there is a lot of material to roll around in these kind of threads. Humans may not be as powerful sometimes, just a serious player in the galaxy through economic superiority or science, but that&#039;s not the real &amp;quot;Humanity Fuck Yeah&amp;quot; thread. The real deal is us having our way with the galaxy as we see fit. Murdering billions of xenos, or fucking them if they&#039;re hot enough, taking their delicious alien babies and eating them in front of their parents, mining their planets to the core and moving on, leaving nothing but dead rocks in our wake. We march on, our mantra singing through the stars:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvlFvp8j6d8 &#039;&#039;&#039;GENOCIDE! MINING! GENOCIDE! MINING! GENOCIDE! MINING! &#039;&#039;&#039;]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Xenos Pay Attention You&#039;re Next ==&lt;br /&gt;
Our species thought we knew war. We built our civilization on foundations of honor and prowess, we were like a rapier; crippling our foes with small yet decisive blows. We killed our enemies yet we allowed them to surrender, there was no needless  killing. That was before the humans came and they showed us the truth...That we were just naive children and that true war is won through unrelenting cruelty and spite. Despite our warriors training, despite all our experience, still we fell to the innumerable waves that the humans sent against us, they burned our worlds; slaughtering our children in horrific ways using them to learn how to kill us more efficiently.  After many blood filled years these Terran butchers arrived on our home and they transformed it into a corpse-filled landscape. I tried to take my life but one of these power armored animals stopped me. As he leveled his vicious weapon at me I noticed his face for the first time; His eyes were filled with murderous glee and his mouth twisted into a sneer he whispered three final words to me...&amp;quot;Humanity, fuck yeah&amp;quot;...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Do they not know who we are, my brethren? We are the chosen of the Emperor, the scions of Terra.  We are dominion and we are numberless.  We are war itself and the death of all who oppose us.  We are Humanity and we shall educate our ignorant foes as to the true meaning of that word!&amp;quot; -- Lord Inquisitor Aedrick Mantel of the Ordo Xenos, from [[Imperial Armour]] Volume 12 &amp;quot;The Fall of Orpheus&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In real-life there are people who claim encounters with aliens.  Contrary to the popular trend here on HFY, the people who supposedly encountered aliens in real-life are often shocked or even frightened of them.  In addition, abductees and witnesses stated the aliens had advanced technology beyond anything humanity has made that rendered the humans involved helpless against the aliens before being taken to their spaceships for experiments.  But don&#039;t despair HFY, there are a few accounts where the people in question fought back; in one account a person was about to be abducted by an alien but stabbed them with a knife.  Though the knife couldn&#039;t pierce the alien&#039;s skin, the resistance resulted in the aliens were driven off without abducting anyone.  There was also an incident in which the would-be abductee ran inside, grabbed his rifle, ran out, and starting shooting at three aliens coming at him.  One of them had to be dragged away by its compatriots.  He hasn&#039;t had any xenos problems since then.  In other words, if you&#039;re being abducted by aliens, fight back!  Armed or not.  Kick them in the gornacks!  Gouge out their eyes!  Bite them!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-- There was also a reference once on an infamous board to a story about an overweight powerlifter who was abducted, woke up and threw a few greys off him after breaking from restraints, afterwards he was lead down a hall where he passed out and woke up at home.  I dont think he killed any of the aliens but they were suppposedly the 4ft tall skinny greys, and he was able to punch one which flew with a wall, and the others retreated.  He was then lead into the hall.  Source pending.&lt;br /&gt;

== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Humanity Fuck Yeah&amp;quot; sometimes refers to omnicidal maniac-level racism against everything that isn&#039;t non-powered and normal human beings (because, you know, a human with superpowers is not really a human, right?). &lt;br /&gt;
Readers may experience ocular bleeding due to excessive [[TVTropes]]isms escaping from humanity&#039;s natural habitats.  This is a normal, if unpleasant side-effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some great examples of &amp;quot;Humanity Fuck Yeah&amp;quot;:&lt;br /&gt;

== Recommended media about humans kicking ass ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; While any media can actually bring a moment of a human kicking ass, it is imperative that such narrative presents humanity as a whole showing exceptional abilities to defeat super-powered/non-human adversity. For example, a book about humans slaughtering hyper-advanced alien invaders is absolutely &amp;quot;Humanity, Fuck Yeah&amp;quot;. A book about World War 2 is not &amp;quot;Humanity, Fuck Yeah&amp;quot;, because although it presents humans kicking ass and taking names, it is against other humans and there&#039;s ass kicking on all sides so that does not count.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, &amp;quot;Humanity, Fuck Yeah&amp;quot; only applies if humans are defeating super-powered non-humans through strictly technological means. For example, in &#039;&#039;X-COM: UFO Defense&#039;&#039;, regular troops gunning down aliens is HFY, as are heavy weapons platforms (big robotic gun platforms). PSI troopers, despite being humans, use supernatural powers so they are not HFY.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Behold a list of &amp;quot;Humanity, Fuck Yeah&amp;quot; works:&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/wiki/ref/universes/jenkinsverse Kevin Jenkins universe] Humans are from a &#039;deathworld&#039;. Lot&#039;s of stories here. [&amp;lt;-- These stories suck. They have a terminal case of &#039;no plot just backstory&#039;. There&#039;s no red thread of a tale being told snaking its way through the writing, no meaningful happenings. If you want random fluff, go for it, but there&#039;s no crunch here, not for anyone who demands a modicum of standards to his writing.] [I would disagree with this, IDK when this opinion was given, two years ago I would say it held some truth. However the main story as well as a few of the canon stories by different authors do have a plot and quality. Of course this is only my opinion on it.][Now in it&#039;s 3rd year of serialization, with 40+ chapters and 2 million+ words in the main storyline alone, there&#039;s a lot to sink your teeth into if you&#039;re into this kind of thing.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Independence Day&#039;&#039;&#039; (1996). This is a must-see film. &amp;quot;We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We&#039;re going to live on! We&#039;re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
**Now having a sequel &#039;&#039;&#039;Fuck YOU ALIEN SCUM&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;[[Starship Troopers]]&#039;&#039; novel by Robert A. Heinlein. The &#039;&#039;ST&#039;&#039; movie by Paul Verhoeven has humanity taking Humanity Fuck Yeah by the balls and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIGHCoVzqtk cranking it up past 11]... and failing miserably at almost every turn for black comedy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Conan the Barbarian]] from Robert E. Howard, because going hand-to-hand combat with a cthulhu-like daemon-god and making it run away screaming in fear is the very definition of HFY. Remember that R.E.Howard and H.P.L. were friends, and many of the Cosmic Horror entities that HPL created are actually canon in Conan&#039;s universe, and he banishes them with brute force and axes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Incidentally H.P. Lovecraft, who was pals with Howard, got a few tales where humans beat back the Great Old Ones, namely The Dunwich Horror (elegan/tg/entlemen professors fight back a huge eldritch demigod), The Call of Cthulhu itself (badass norwegian officer ramming a ship against Cthulhu&#039;s head anyone?) and the Dream-Quest of unknown Kadath (/x/ dreamer rallies an army of ghouls and nightgaunts to kill lunar toad-like abominations and then storms Kadath, residence of Earth gods).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Damned trilogy, by Alan Dean Foster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Warhammer 40000, obviously, particularly when it comes to the [[Imperial Guard]]. Although admittedly, Humanity Occasionally Does Not Fuck Yeah here, but then again, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzPuK1vib_c here is the awesome].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Traveller&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Star Trek]] - yes, somehow. A note - the Mirror Universe episodes (TOS - Mirror Mirror, various DS9 ones, ENT - In A Mirror Darkly part I and II) in general are basically Humanity Fuck Yeah at it&#039;s best. In TOS-MU, everyone is more badass and horny, and mass killing alien scum who refuse to submit is the order of the day, but get told to make things better and more peaceful by our flawless prime universe counterparts. Does that sound like humanity to you? No? Good, because it&#039;s not because fuck that noise. Even their uniforms are more awesome (and sexy). ENT&#039;s In A Mirror Darkly shows the Empire at it&#039;s most brutal, starts with Zefram Cochrane &#039;&#039;&#039;trying the Vulcan salute, only to pull out a shotgun and shoot the Vulcan point blank!&#039;&#039;&#039; And from there, they straight up are attacking THE THOLIANS, and STEAL the USS Defiant from TOS&#039;s The Tholian Web! Many other shenanigans ensue.  No less than later in DS9 confirms that hippy peace kumbaya is bullshit as in the intervening 100 or so years, M-Spock became Emperor and instituted weakness, and the Empire is predictably overthrown by the Alliance (a Klingon/Cardassian dominated political order) - and it&#039;s not just humans that are mass enslaved, but all the core races who were cowed or bros with humans and the Empire like the Vulcans and Andorians. See, conquest and HFY is good for the galaxy! But thanks to efforts of people who find themselves on the other side like THE SISKO, not only do the enslaved start a rebellion, but by the last Mirror episode, are looking like they will seriously win it. According to some books, this was actually Emperor Spock&#039;s master plan - cause reform to weaken the Empire, and lead to it&#039;s seeming death, which would make him one of the best alien believers of HFY of all time. Eventually, revolution will come, and the Empire is reborn as a sort of human-centric Galactic Republic - shorn of all the weaknesses but with an unquenchable thirst for HFY. They are last seen conquering the Breen and Klings or some shit - pure [[awesome]]. Hell, lots of REGULAR Trek episodes eventually are filled with HFY - especially anything involving THE SISKO, later era [[Mary_Sue|Kathryn &amp;quot;KILL THEM ALL&amp;quot; Janeway]], or Section 31.&lt;br /&gt;
** Also, [http://beka-tiddalik.tumblr.com/post/150425828285/roachpatrol-deadcatwithaflamethrower a tumblr thread of utter hilarity] showed that compared to Vulcans, humanity is an entire species of Doc Browns -- a bunch of deranged hyper-neophiles tooling around in ships packed full of beyond-cutting-edge tech they don&#039;t actually understand very well. And constantly succeeding. When Vulcans have two warp cores, they experiment on one and save the other for a backup. When humans have two warp cores, they plug them both into a third warp core, travel to an alternate dimension, steal &#039;&#039;their&#039;&#039; warp cores and plug &#039;&#039;those&#039;&#039; together, punch their way back here, then try to turn a nearby sun into a torus because that was what their initial scientific experiment was for and they didn’t want to waste a trip. That happened last week and we still have no idea what the torus sun is supposed to accomplish.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mass Effect. Only on certain Renegade playthroughs, though; Paragon is hippy dippy &amp;quot;live in peace with xenos&amp;quot; Federation bullshit (to be fair, xenos in Mass Effect are actually friendly or reasonable, with a few exceptions). Even just the backstory has only-just-then-become-a-spacefaring-species humanity fighting a widely-feared and centuries-old galactic superpower to a standstill, followed up by earning their respect to such a degree that they let us jump the queue to join their galactic council club (or letting the current heads of the galactic council club die in battle so humanity fills the power vaccum).  Although is just in the first game; in the second and third games reality ensues, concepts are deconstructed and the only way to beat the several-million-millennia-old alien main villains is to turn their resources against them or humanity gets wiped out more thoroughly than the dinosaurs were (if you believe some dinosaurs evolved into birds).&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
* X-COM: UFO Defense. And XCOM Enemy Unknown/Within. Turns out humanity is the greatest hope the alien invaders have, and we&#039;re being tested to see if we are worthy of it (we are). And XCOM 2, because even when we lost the war, we WILL win it!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. &#039;&#039;&#039;BELIEVE IN THE ME WHO BELIEVES IN YOU!&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Gurren Lagann&#039;s precursor Getter Robo deserves mention, too. &#039;&#039;&#039;WHY DID THE GETTER RAYS CHOOSE LOWLY HUMANITY?!&#039;&#039;&#039; Also &#039;&#039;&#039;FUCK DINOSAURS!!&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Stargate, both SG-1 and Atlantis. Stargate is the most Humanity Fuck Yeah thing ever. A bunch of people extends Earth influence across the entire galaxy in less than ten years. When we manage to build the first real space combat vessels, it&#039;s too late. Job&#039;s already done, galaxy is ours. So we move to conquer the next one, with another bunch of people and a couple of ships. Entire races are wiped out by teams of five people armed with submachine guns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Pacific Rim.&#039;&#039;&#039; [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vU7XqToZso Ye Gods, Pacific Rim.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Halo, because being the [[Mary Sue|special snowflake race that can manipulate]] [[Old Ones|the technology of long dead, super-galactic, hyper advance aliens]] [[AWESOME|and yet still having the &amp;quot;Humanity first and only bitch!&amp;quot; personality, as well as standing up to (and winning against) a massive alien hedgmoney and then an omnivorous parasite in a war lasting nearly THIRTY YEARS gives the UNSC the honorable status.]] . Further noted due to the UNSC Marines (Whose personality is a fusion between Alien&#039;s Colonial Marines and Starship Trooper&#039;s Mobile Infantry) and because the UNSC built a NOVA bomb which is a petaton-exaton thermonuclear bomb that vaporized an entire covenant fleet in orbit and the entire nightside of a planet, and completely SHATTERS another when its detonated on the surface.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Command and Conquer]] Tiberium Wars. While it sucks compared to the earlier ones, Xeno scum come to harvest Tiberium on our planet, then find out they got played like a bunch of fools. More forces wouldn&#039;t have helped the Scrin, Kane has a motherfucking Scrin battleship he built &#039;&#039;&#039;when Bill Clinton was president&#039;&#039;&#039;, and another crashed UFO chilling out in Egypt. &amp;lt;s&amp;gt; What the hell were the expecting, trying to fight a grandchild of [[God]]? &amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; They were expecting no resistance because they assumed all life on the planet had been consumed by Tiberium. The Scrin &amp;quot;invasion force&amp;quot; had only come to Earth to harvest Tiberium.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Marvel Cinematic Universe. At numerous points in the setting (read: every other week), everything from alien empires and planet-eaters to GODS come to Earth looking to squash humanity like a Warboss sitting on a grot. They’ve conquered/destroyed/eaten every species/planet/galaxy they’ve encountered up to that point. Humanity’s heroes fly up and kick them in the dick!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Salvation War. Demons invade Earth and begin attacking cities. In response, we invade Hell, curbstomp the forces of Chaos (they expect us to have swords, we actually have tanks and big fucking guns) and even end up perma-killing Satan with a ship-to-ship missile. THEN we invade Heavens and exterminate angels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*GATE: Thus The Self-Defense Force Fought There. Related to the above, but its other humans from a magical realm with mystical creatures backing them up invading modern-day Tokyo. Turns out swords and shields dont work to well against machine guns and attack helicopters...and then the JSDF proceeds to roll through the gate they came from and basically conquer the entire world on the other side...without a single casualty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Gears of War. A horde of inhuman killing beasts erupt from every human city and then later on our would-be &#039;fuel&#039; turns out to be an ever-infectious virus of OMNOMNOM! which screws both of our races up. We came back, re-strengthen our forces and gave a response which includes the massacre of all three species including ours via mass orbital bombardment of lasers from SPEHS!, detonation of a bomb that kills by intense light and heat akin to a flashy nuke, the flooding of every cave and hole on our planet(by sinking our last sanctuary no less) and the detonation a fucking NEUTRON BOMB... all because we could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The annihilation series. Book one love conquers all. It&#039;s a stupid name but the book is really good it&#039;s about a boy who figures out that he has psychic powers that grant him the ability to fuck over people&#039;s shit the 2nd book is where things get crazy. An alien race who are arrogant and want nothing more then the human race to be gtfo go behind the galatic alliances back and attacks a colony killing 1/3 of the population. That&#039;s when the humans go batshit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The humourous Poul Anderson novel &amp;quot;The High Crusade&amp;quot;. A hyper-advanced alien empire tries to &#039;ave a go at medieval England and get hilariously rolled over because EMP doesn&#039;t work on knights and longbowmen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Peter Bergs&#039; Battleship. Generally shit storyline; basically aliens come down to Earth to fuck shit up, and accidentally land in the middle of a global naval wargame.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Factorio. The premise sounds weaker than most other entries here, but considering you start with nothing but a steam drill, and you are going to have to wipe the floor with the local [[Tyranids|giant bug creatures]], even the smallest of which is about the size of a Smart car, in order to expand your mining, smelting and assembling industries, it is pretty much &#039;&#039;&#039;GENOCIDE! MINING! GENOCIDE! MINING! GENOCIDE! MINING!: &#039;&#039;THE GAME.&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yDZM0diiYc To whit].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* All Brotherhood of Steel Fallout 4 breakthroughs. The Brotherhood supports genocide of all the non-human abominations that exist throughout the wasteland. Ad Victoriam! The Minutemen kinda qualify as well for the same reason as the Rimworld example listed above - less on the non-human killing, but instead its humans coming together, working together, and taming the everloving shit out of the irradiated and mutant-infested swamps of Massachusetts (post-nuclear war, must clarify) to make the cosiest apocalypse ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* While on the topic of [[Fallout]], the Enclave are most definitely HFY. Using a modified virus to systematically wipe out any and all mutated scum that rove the wasteland like it&#039;s theirs is a prime example of how awesome humans are at causing mass destruction, and even if a certain tribal mutant was able to infiltrate their base and blow it up, the legacy of the human patriotism of the Enclave will always live on. In New Vegas, even down to only five [[Old Ones|oldfags]] and a snot nosed kid, they kick veritable &#039;&#039;ass&#039;&#039;. Though this one&#039;s a little up-to-you, as the Enclave were a wee bit too enthusiastic about the genocide part of HFY for their own good, as they actually wanted to bump off most of the human population of the post-apocalyptic US too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Muv Luv franchise. In 1967, all consuming aliens (BETA - Beings of Extra Terrestrial origin which is an Adversary of the human race) are found on [[Mars]] during the explorations there. They land on the Moon, and even though we stand no chance then on the moon, America fights back with fucking prototype SPACE MARINES, space fighters, and re-purposing exoskeletal lifters as power armor. While the universe proves to run on a lot of Humanity What The Fuck Are You Doing too (the first BETA Hive on Earth lands in Kashgar, [[Derp|and the PRC and USSR get greedy letting them get powerful enough, so they can harvest whatever goodies they have]]. When they try landing a hive in Canada, America says &amp;quot;lol fuck no&amp;quot; and nukes the Hive to oblivion with only minimal apologies). What makes it so wonderful is that even for decades, as humanity loses constantly, as literally children are forced to fight, the breathing HFY of everyone involved making last stands and killing wave upon wave of alien scum in [[awesome]] mechs or as infantry on the battleline is enough to make you shed [[manly tears]]. Even when we&#039;re down to less than one billion people, we do NOT, STOP, FIGHTING. And then to crown it, in 2001, we have our first major victory with a captured Hive. The main storyline ends with humanity just about ready to start the great reconquest of Eurasia.The snippets in Exogularity show how AWESOME Humanity has become with the break-neck technological advancement fueled by alien tech. I mean Shielding, Mecha Hand-held practicle beam weapons, ships that have length measure in 8KM-9KM and HUNDREDS of G-17B(Descendants of the Susanoo, which they use to GLASS BETA hives on Mars) and other shits. HFY indeed.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Doom]], Doom 2, Doom 3, and DOOM. Because one human can slaughter every breathing thing on two moons and then in Hell. And again. And again. The reboot takes it even further by taking the whole &amp;quot;ancient evil being locked away to prevent it wiping us out&amp;quot; trope and &#039;&#039;&#039;reversing it&#039;&#039;&#039;. So you, the human main character, is the ancient evil while the demons are the horrified and massacred prison wardens. &#039;&#039;&#039;Fuck yeah.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Pokemon. I mean, mere human children can capture and enslave(those little balls they use to contain GIANT MOTHERFRICKIN DRAGONS! must be some brainwashing device!) peaceful creatures and then force those peaceful fire-breathing, water-spouting, grass-grassing monsters to fight each other to the death while the kids... KIDS! just stand behind them giving them orders. Also these little kids at the age of 10 are expected to go off on their own around the globe for fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Space Battleship Yamato. Aliens (humans with green skin... they count right?) enter our solar system and we blow their spaceship up for no reason! Then our arse gets handed to us as they start bombarding our planet with meteorites using a tractor beam. However the moment a friendly alien race (hot chicks) gives us a power generator what do we do? We use it to invent a destructive ima-firin-my-lazor-cannon stick both items into a battleship turned spaceship, send that one ship off on its own to go get a life-saving tech thingy from hot chic aliens while single handedly blowing up an entire space empire armada... [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs7r9NUlAuI All with a kickass main theme]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The space opera grand strategy game by Paradox, Stellaris, can be played many different ways and allows you to go full HFY if you would like, you could even play as human fanatic purifiers. HFY is encouraged by one of the preset empires, The Commonwealth of Man, a xenophobic and militaristic faction of humans bent on enslaving xenos and dominating the galaxy. Refreshingly, humanity isn&#039;t actually special; if humanity wants to go full HFY, then they must work for it just like any other species.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Rescue Party by Arthur C. Clarke. While there is not conflict in the short story it still counts. Hippie aliens arrive on Earth only hours before the sun will explode, destroying the planet. The mission of the hippie aliens is to try to save as many people and as much of the culture as possible. Normally the galactic civilization does surveys of planets every one million years for new species, but the human race did not exist the last time the survey was done – four hundred thousand years before. We simply evolved too fast for them! However, radio signals had been detected on a planet 200 light years away, indicating intelligent life had arisen. They arrive, but nobody is home. As they search for any living humans, we learn that its typical for races to take thousand of years between the invention of the radio and space flight. The only thing they find is a communication tower beaming into space. They follow the beam with their FTL ships and discover an enormous fleet of rocket space ships (the largest fleet in galactic history), traveling into space without any FTL tech. Their tiny alien minds melt in the face of the sheer determination and steel balls Humanity posses. As they watch Humanity flying toward their birth right of total Galactic domination, the hippie aliens know that they are fucked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Worldwar&#039;&#039;&#039; by Harry Turtledove. A series of eight alternative history novels. World War II is doing well, and humanity is having a lot of fun with itself, until 1942, when the reptilan aliens known as the Race  attack. They start off by detonating nuclear weapons in the stratosphere, creating EMPs, which most developed nations don&#039;t even notice, because primitive vacuum tubes don&#039;t care about that at all. Their technology is pretty superior to the humans&#039;, but humans have a knack for thinking so far outside the box that the box can&#039;t even be seen anymore, combined with the fact that they simply don´t give up, like, at all. Notable HFY moments include all human armies, including lots of nasty partisan groups pretty much halting their previous conflicts, and all descending on their new, common foe (almost makes you pity the invaders); humans destroying an alien spaceship with a motherfucking huge cannon (hint: Dora), humans turning the aliens into drug addicts and disrupting their whole culture with their &#039;&#039;corruptive nature&#039;&#039;, an alien invasion on Britain stopped by chemical warfare, humans nuking a whole alien fleet killing millions, and finally humans driving the Aliens away and forcing them to accept a jolly human tradition: peace by &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;mutual assured destruction&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The [[Transformers]] &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Beast Wars: Uprising&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; series of comics and short stories covering the intervening years between the Generation One and Beast Wars cartoons is an interesting case, focusing entirely on the aliens and rather than depicting the conflict with humanity itself, it deals with the disastrous effect that being on the receiving end of an HFY story has on their society. Tired of being caught up in the Autobots&#039; and Decepticons&#039; various conflicts, humanity steadily grows more and more militarized and eventually kicks the Transformers off Earth and forces them back to their dying homeworld of Cybertron. Confined to a single planet with limited supplies of energy, Cybertronian society begins to unravel even worse than it was before as the larger Transformers are left crippled due to their high fuel requirements and begin using smaller ones to fight in proxy wars. The Autobot/Decepticon conflict soon gives way to infighting as the energy crisis exacerbates the already existing inequalities between the two factions various sub-groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==An Alternate Take on HFY==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
— Proverbs 16:18&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9g2r0SdEZc| I&#039;d like to share a revelation that I&#039;ve had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species, and I realized that you&#039;re not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment; but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer on this planet. You are a plague, and we...are the cure.]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
What started as a reasonable response to human suffering in fiction has blossomed into a cringe-fest of masturbatory autism that can be seen in the page quote. [[Eldar|Haughty pride, arrogance,]] [[Imperial Cult|zealotry, blind idiocy, self-righteousness,]] and many more vices are enabled by such tooting of our own metaphorical horns. [[Cancer|The worst part is how this attitude spreads to other fandoms like wildfire, even if humans or aliens aren&#039;t interacting with each other or even involved in the setting!]] The irony kicks in when you realize that many of the idols that HFY memers get their [[Heresy|Idolatry on for]] would be disappointed at such vainglorious pride, the [[If the Emperor had a Text-to-Speech Device|The Man-peror of Mankind]] would not approve! Even more ironic is how this attitude is exactly the same as [[Matt Ward|a certain fluff rapist]] [[Ultramarines|and his favored infallible, can&#039;t do wrong, and always victorious]] [[Mary Sue|mary sues.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The real crime however, is how HFY quashes new ideas, sucking the rest of the entire fandom down a creative black hole. Guess you can in fact get sick of winning in fiction all the time!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basically put, what little potential HFY had has long since been stifled in a sea of mental masturbation over our own imaginary greatness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So when would such attitudes be appropriate? In dangerous settings where such attitudes are backed up my much human suffering and bloodshed. In settings where we truly earned the right to be a bit proud of our survival. [[Warhammer 40K|In settings where humanity is beset on sides by hostile foes within and without, eternally under siege, with their very vices and souls threatening to rebel against the- hey wait a minute...]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
HFY tends to manifest itself especially terribly in fanfiction, where whole fandoms are plagued by a never ending slew of shitty fix fics that look at settings where humanity is already ridiculously special for no good reason and already has disproportionate influence on the setting and is already among the setting&#039;s winners and go &amp;quot;nah, humans need to win some more&amp;quot;. Thus turning the sentiment into a code for &amp;quot;this fanfiction is shit written by some moron who doesn&#039;t understand how dramatic tension works&amp;quot; and turning HFY from a statement of pride to an ironic statement of mockery and a seal of low quality writing. The worst kinds of these fanfics tend to be written by people who legitimately think that the [[/pol/|unfamiliar needs to be purged]] and it all starts reading rather disturbingly like Mein Kampf more than good literature (and worst of all, these fanfics will also have writing quality about as good as Mein Kampf, which is legendarily terrible and incoherent if you&#039;re unfamiliar with it) as the more mouthbreather type of fan projects their race war fantasies where they think no one will notice. However, much like with FATAL or Racial Holy War or other works written by the inbred, these attempts to escape notice tend to fail and instead will only draw further mockery upon discovery. Original works, even on /tg/, are little better in this respect due to the community that springs around them acting like an echo chamber to drown out any kind of negative feedback no matter how justified it may be. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most important rule in any story with a conflict is of course a need to maintain tension.  If people win without effort, it gets very boring very quickly unless effortless victory and anti-climax is the whole joke (and most fanfic writers simply aren&#039;t funny enough to make the space opera/high fantasy equivalent of one punch man and probably shouldn&#039;t try to either), so when you start writing humans as simply piledriving everyone in the way without trying you end up making the humans more insufferable than pretty much any variety of Elf has ever been. Instead of badasses, you have turned our species into uninteresting Mary Sues who most people who don&#039;t have their heads up their asses will start to root against, much like how people generally start rooting against a sports team that always seems to win.   With no effort being expended, there&#039;s no reason to care about the struggle because there is no struggle to care about. Bad HFY forgets all this in favor of what amounts to masturbation via text and unfortunately, as most writers aren&#039;t all that great, most HFY fics will tend to be of the shitty tensionless curbstomp variety where humanity does nothing to deserve any victory it gets.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can express how great humanity is, but always remember these few rules:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Don&#039;t make everyone else stupid, this is not only a lazy means of making your favoured faction right it&#039;s also one of the strongest signifiers for a Mary Sue as not only are they always right, anyone against them is a moron and probably eats babies too.   Do make humans suffer setbacks and make mistakes, nobody wants to read about a hero who is never challenged and never stumbles or fucks up.&lt;br /&gt;
**To quote an old saying &amp;quot;to err is to human&amp;quot;, someone without flaw is more akin to a god (or God) than an actual person, so don&#039;t go that route unless the character is a god or God (whether you believe in a god/God/religion or not, that is a subject that should be handled with care). Push them to the brink of destruction and have them claw their way back up from nothing instead of acting as if the universe will bend over backwards for them on account of their species alone. And remember to give them humility as a result of whatever struggle they go through; they should be very much aware they&#039;re little fish in a very big pond. &lt;br /&gt;
*Don&#039;t use &amp;quot;human ingenuity&amp;quot; as an advantage; this trope is so tiresomely played out that it produces nothing but eyerolling these days, especially since it tends to be a signifier that you&#039;ve created a planet of hats setting where humanity is the only species not forced to have a hat (ironic, since this is itself a hat). This is lazy and overdone so don&#039;t do it. &lt;br /&gt;
**Elevating things like &amp;quot;pragmatism&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;brutality&amp;quot; in its place is just as bad if not even worse, because they make humanity look like a race of [[Tyranids|all-devouring monsters that leave nothing but destruction in their wake]] who need to be wiped out for the sake of all other sentient life in the universe.&lt;br /&gt;
*Don&#039;t force humanity into a hat itself either, saying things like &amp;quot;humans are good diplomats/warriors&amp;quot; is easily disproven by just looking at about a hundred randomly selected people so it&#039;s always going to ring kind of false to people in the real world. Do give people weaknesses of some sort, whether cultural or physical or governmental some kind of flaw will help to make humanity seem human instead of efficiency obsessed robots. After all, racial hat simple means the result of averages fitting into the global-galactic niche. If Salarian artists (which *do* exist) would have overtaken the galactic culture by chance and random luck in the universe of Mass Effect, we would come to believe Salarians are a race of smart artists.&lt;br /&gt;
**Do give other species nuance of their own, just as you shouldn&#039;t give out a hat to humanity, you should try to avoid essentially typecasting the races in your setting without a very good explanation like Orks having their mentalities being genetically programmed or a species being an outright hive mind, this just makes everyone more interesting overall.&lt;br /&gt;
*It&#039;s ridiculous to assume that alien life evolved (or was created, depending on the story and who you ask) along the same lines as we did. Consider showing how humans are just as unsuited for alien environments as the aliens would be unsuited for our own. Oh sure, we can breathe oxygen, but outside any Earth-like planet that&#039;s just a liability. What good is that when the air on most inhabitable planets either has minimal oxygen or flat-out poisons us?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While these tips are just generally good for worldbuilding and story telling, they should always be taken into account by anyone who wants to write HFY without falling into the ubiquitous pitfalls.&lt;br /&gt;

Humanity, fuck yeah.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Let me tell you about humans, using something I&#039;m familiar with in anthropology. When a Shoshone warrior wants a pony, he goes to a herd, picks one, and walks toward it. Naturally, the pony runs away. The Shonone follows, day and night just walking, usually for three full days. Pony runs away, man just keeps walking at a steady pace.  Finally the pony simply collapses from exhaustion after running away for days, and the man walks up and puts a bridle on it. That is the kind of monster humans are.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
