    Some of this isn’t quite completely accurate, but funnily enough some of the inconsistencies match up anyway. For example, Big E full well believes in the gods because he knows they exist for a fact, they’ve been knocking on his doors for centuries. He just can’t let anyone else believe in the chaos gods because they’re literal infohazards. Likewise PBub knows of and frequently makes use of magic via Marceline and Peppermint Butler, but prefers science and doesn’t want magic to get out of hand in her society.

    Also PBub totally enjoys being worshiped as a god. She had a choice to give her people intelligence and didn’t. Whether that was for the better or not is a minefield of an ethical question but the fact remains that instead of a society of complex individuals she created a society of easily managed simpletons that must look to her for caretaking. At least when the Emperor created life he created proper badasses that went out and fucked shit all up everywhere and made their own marks on the galaxy.

      Well according to her “all magic is just science, you just don’t know what you’re doing so you call it magic” but either way there’s a large amount of amusing parallels

        Ahh OK. I was thinking he might be from WoW.

        Warhammer lore is way too complicated for me.

          No, but Warcraft was intended to be a Warhammer Fantasy game. Similar races but in space, 40000 years in the future, humans hate everyone else and everyone else hates them. Also there are gods in a parallel universe that influence and make everything suck as they represent atrophy. Kinda like the lich but there are 4 of them representing pestilence, war, deviancy, and change and just like to fuck with the mortals.

          This is more grimdark, everything sucks, and everyone is afraid of the technology because Dad god says it’s scary, except the tech priests who worship the technology and are only allowed to do so because without them the Empire’s industrial military complex collapses.

          It’s pretty cool
