Nurgle zombies shouldn't be slack jawed lobotomites

They should look happy, they should smile. They should giggle like they've just been told the funniest joke in existence and can't wait to share it with you

Imagine you've been holding a defensive position and at the 7th hour of every day, you hear a chuckle from the moors break the deafening silence...then another...then another and suddenly the battlefield has erupted in raucous, raspy laughter

The smiling dead

they are already like this, you just don't see bacterias and worms being happy :)

like

khorne absolutely does not care about gender look at em.

tzeentch has wild complex genders you couldn't even dream of they're 56 genders ahead at all times

nurgles gender is like a soup or perhaps a pustule there's somethin cookin' in there

they're all nonbinary your honor

you are absolutely totally right, and moreover, nurgle actually has fertility symbolic in em. gendering chaos is just plain wrong

The Reveler? She-Who-Thirsts? The Prince of Pleasure? The Lord of Excess?

Slaanesh

i don't ljke him

serious - very misunderstood as well, and people are talking about it, just not my cup of tea. not a fan of pain and pleasure.

tzeentch is my bestie <3

as long as it is not the emperor - you go girl

[plasmometer]

Any thoughts on the Reveler

what?

[plasmometer]

And your opinion for why he hates Tzeentch more than anything?

the selfishness tzeentch encourages, and the supremacy of the single mind, basically

If you view Nurgle as a representation for symbiosis, how do you reconcile that with his struggle against the other gods?

it is a paradox of tolerance situation. if you are accepting of every life, some life may seek to destroy you. that's where your own drive to live on kicks in. nurglites live beyond bodies, they live in lineages, communities, in the food cycle itself. as some may struggle and fight, the clear idea of nurgle is that it is pointless - one way or the other, everything will rot. the way to nirvana is to embrace samsara, and to be it.

so, he doesn't really struggle. his forces want to spread the joy :)

What makes you a nurgle fan, other than a great color scheme?

great great GREAT question. you've walked into the essay checkpoint.

basically, the concept of nurgle gives absolutely unique perspective on illness, which is radically devoid of antropocentrism. i'll try to explain it now.

if you know pagan cultures, in them illnesses are usually depicted as evil spirits tormenting the person, or the curse laid by the ill will. and usually shamans or other threshold figures, so to speak, negotiate with these spirits, figure out their intentions to cure the person.

now from that knowledge we will come forward in time, where we know that illnesses are usually caused by microorganisms who find your body very comfy to live in. nurglite mindset suggests - they are alive as well, they just want to live and multiply as every living creature does. nurgle offers the opportunity of dialogue, and eventual symbiosis.

every nurglite is an ecosystem, it is "we", because there is much more forces in action than a conscious human mind. you do not only connect with those around you, but within you. it is empathy without boundaries, compassion without exclusion, it equals human life with the life of any creature, no matter how small and insignificant. in this, nurglite philosophy is closely related to buddhism, but this is a topic i am not yet ready to explore, not enough expertise.

that calm comes from unity, from the lack of pain, because you stop being enemies with others and with yourself. you stop being judgemental, and everything stops being good and bad, from now on it just exists - and i cannot overstate how much better it makes you feel, because in the end the judgement only burdens your own heart.

yes it is that deep, nurgle is very underexplored and simplified to stereotypes, and that just saddens me, because there is so much to think on.

now to my personal reasons:

i got into 40k because i was invited to black crusade and wanted to play a nurglite here

nurgle corruption mostly flows through commonfolk - i love commonfolk

body horror!

buddhism may be the only big religion i have a little bit of respect for

much space to explore new concepts

greem :)

i came up with nurglite aesthetic that has me and my friends in an iron grip - the benevolent hand

Any thoughts on KHORNE?

GREAT.

[plasmometer]

I know that you generally have non-personal attitude to Chaos Gods in WH40k, but if you were to say, which one do you like the least?

i will say slaanesh just to piss off my friends >:) you know who you are yes

i am still chaos undivided

Wow, nothing gets past you, eh?

Anyways here's another funny one

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

It refers to the fear of long words

the precious hours of my education are getting past me right about now

anyway the word sure is long and pretty intimidating for a person with dyslexia. cracking it like a puzzle of greek roots
