wrote up that whole last post bc i got distracted thinking abt the ethical quandry of warhammer and forgot to post the thing i actually wanted to talk about which is that leda's approach to the iconoclast route and empathy is very much akin to a modern day liberal who's trying to go vegan but also fucking just LOVES cheese. like ok its worth it and she's going to put in a concerted effort but ohhhhhh its hard. its so hard. and killing people/eating pre-grated cheese is sooooo easy. and so what if she has a cheat day here and there. its fine. she can pick it up again tomorrow.
#oc: leda#tay plays rogue trader#she also takes a very academic/theoretical approach to ethics because in 40k the entire concept of being nice might as well BE hypothetical#its hard to get a solid foundation of what to strive for. there is no manual to goodness & as a former adeptus mechanicus aspirant she rly#wishes there was lol#ultimately no matter how much she BELIEVES in iconoclast values and strives to uphold them she is still a product of her time and clings to#present REALITY when shit hits the fan lol. regrets it after. but again - the same way a vegan might regret eating dairy lol#secretly a lot of its aesthetics to her. theres a hypocrisy in her kindness because (and god i Need to make a follow up post for this)#she does think she was directly chosen by the emperor to be his prophet and messiah. LOL. DFGJKLFGDJKL#you cannot think shit like that without being a bit of a maniac!!!!!!! and tho she is kind in game#she can switch up pretty much instantaneously if the need actually arises and suddenly reality doesnt subscribe to her ideals#ie cammorragh. void shadows. likely post game nomos era etc.#shes maxxed out the iconoclast branch but my GOD do those two dogmatic points do some heavy lifting when the going gets tough
