Here’s The Thing About Being A Person That Interacts With Warhammer A Lot. There Is An Almost Rapid

here’s the thing about being a person that interacts with warhammer a lot. there is an almost rapid desensitization to the aesthetics, grimness and darkness of it. the scale of things becomes increasingly normal to you. this makes a huge majority of the mainstream things that attempt to be edgy, dark, baroque and ritualistic extremely hard to be impressed by. this has nothing to do with whether something is good or not, mind you. Then this continues within the universe. Few things cause true wonder anymore. I simply find that over time, I no longer see the skulls, the combat churches on wheels, the blowing up entire planets over a couple of cultists, etc. It becomes background information with zero shock value.

what I’m trying to say here is that it takes a real hell of a line to punch me right out of that comfort zone and sense of familiarity, and nothing has ever been as effective as this line from Dan Abnett’s The End and The Death:

Having your own personal blog is honestly quite a nice change of pace compared to Reddit. I could put a funny GIF of George Bush getting hit by a shoe on here and the worse case scenario is that no one even notices.

You put that on a big subreddit and you get your eyes gouged out and a heap of political discourse underneath your post.

i love this app because you can just not tag a post and no one will probably see it.

this, therefore, means i can scream into the void about things and not have to worry about dreaded Repercussions.

white women on bluesky are talking far too much about taylor swift ending her tour. i get that it's the demographic and clearly the music means at least something to these people. i, on the other hand, do not want to hear about the music industry's billionaire AVGAS waster.

like i have no issue with artists utilising a privately-owned plane. just not a small one.

look at iron maiden, a band that i'm not really a fan of anymore. bruce dickinson flies a fucking 747 to carry the band and its equipment around. the livery is also sick as fuck.

if i was a billionaire musician, i would not be in learjets or dassaults. i would be actively the An225 so i could try to reverse engineer and hire a company to build it. shit would be sick.

tl;dr i dont wanna hear about taylor swift cus she's boring and it's broadly unethical to be a billionaire.

The kids on TikTok think that just because he was a classic country singer, Johnny Cash was conservative??? My babies he covered a Nine Inch Nails song in his seventies.

Classic country singers (the majority of which came from poor roots) were always talking about how much The Man sucked because they were taking money from poor rural folk. You’re gonna tell me that’s conservative?? Get outta here.
