Is There any Reason why Naruto Didn't Just Become the Jinchuuriki of Bijuus 1-7

Kurama is gone, Gyuki is sealed in Killer B still, I think. But the rest, Shukaku to Chomei, are just kind of doing absolutely nothing while the world is literally ending? They have skin in the game too, it's not like the Otsutsuki are going to leave them alone. They individually have as much chakra as, like, an entire hidden village.

They will literally die if Code wins, and all of them, and Naruto knows that. Sure, they can hate being sealed, but if they have basic intelligence (which we are led to believe), some temporary loss of autonomy being sealed into ninja jesus, the most trustworthy man ever, beats dying.

Looking for an Excerpt

I dimly remember a scene where an Astropath (maybe a Navigator??) beholds Rogal Dorn through their warp-sense, and perceives a being of awesome light caged in flesh. I wanted to read it again, but I haven't been able to find it.

Other excerpts showing the inner warp-spaghetti woven into the Primarchs are welcome, but that's a specific one.

Are the Chaos Gods Fundamental?

I see this claim thrown around EVERYWHERE. "Oh, Khorne is a fundamental being, he is a law of the universe, he could never, ever die..."

Like, no? Each Chaos God has a genesis, and each Chaos God could die. They are not fundamental pieces of existence, they are byproducts of such. Potentially thousands of War gods have been born from as many races; the only difference is that Khorne has outlasted and/or subsumed the rest, thereby staking a claim on all violence and bloodshed in the universe. And even that claim is not absolute when blood is shed in offering to other gods.

There does not NEED to be a personification of War. Daemons are born and die based on accumulated churning Warp energy motivated as a reflection of what happens in the universe; they are not the direct cause of those actions themselves. They can influence the Materium and the skein of fate, manipulating outcomes to generate more of what empowers them or intervening directly by expending their own energy to do so, but are, again, not the base cause.

The famous quote that "When a mother strikes her child, her vicious satisfaction feeds Khorne," literally shows this. People use this as proof that Khorne is fundamental when the statement directly contravenes the idea. Khorne did not cause the rage, nor did He propel the arm that landed the strike, he simply fed off of the occurrence. If you killed Khorne, galactic rage would definitely lessen, but not disappear- because while he has claimed all violence, and feeds off of all violence, he isn't violence itself, merely composed of it and exerting influence over it.

This applies to the rest of Chaos as well, with their various spheres of influence, the most obvious being Slaanesh. They are not fundamental forces, in my view, and I think it is a mistake to perceive them as such. They can be killed, their Mantles scattered and/or assumed by another entity/other entities.

I hope my midnight ramble is coherent. Let me know what y'all think.

Driver's License Never Coming

So, I applied for a DL in February and I passed. I was told to expect the little card within 6 weeks. It never came. I have gone back to the DMV twice and re-applied for a DL since then. It is now June, and it has been 4 months. I am extremely fed up with this as it has SEVERELY inconvenienced my life on numerous occasions. What the hell do I even do now?

In the intervening time, I have applied for and received a passport book and card, and gotten myself enrolled in USPS Informed Delivery. Informed Delivery says I have NO incoming mail.

Would the Third Eyes of Navigators be Extra-Lethal to Dark Eldar?

So, like, Slaanesh is always tugging at their souls, right? And they're somewhat shielded by the Webway, but even if you stay in Comorragh you still need to inflict torture to rejuvinate yourself. When they go on hunts in Realspace, the rate of draining increases, and one would assume that raw warp exposure would generally result in death, as it does for most people anyways.

So, my question is: Should a Navigator turn their third eye upon a Drukhari, could they accelerate the drainage process by Slaanesh? They are essentially bathing the target in Warp energy, the veil between worlds in that moment as thin as the lens of an eye. Normally, the Lidless Stare attracts Daemons, especially when used to kill, so wouldn't any Drukhari within line-of-sight instantly be subjected to the predations of Slaaneshi Daemons?

Or does it not work that way?
