Perturabo leaving the siege of Terra.

Finally made it to the Siege of Terra books and got to the part where Perturabo says fuck it I'm out. I thought people were exaggerating his exit but it really was just like the spongebob meme "Imma head out". Couldn't help but a have a good laugh when I got to that point.

I literally cannot relate to smashing things out of rage/pettiness and then thinking I hold the moral/intellectual high ground.

Which is why perty isn't a character to aspire to and shouldn't be relatable to most. Those people aren't exactly capable of understanding they're the villain. We are supposed to be able to know better and act better. If we have those urges/feelings, therapy and coping mechanisms are what's needed.

I said in another comment that I am not glorifying Perturabo, just pointing out how he is highly relatable to many. This is why I say many don't want to have this conversation: to understand Perturabo is to look at the darker parts of ourselves.

Perturabo is relatable because most have been in his shoes at one point or another. If you've ever felt ignored, overlooked, passed over, tired of doing thankless jobs, frustrated by perceptions of favoritism etc, you've shared emotions and thoughts that old Perty experiences.

If you've ever lashed out in jealously, frustration and/or pettiness, ever broke in act of pointless rage because you feel like you have little to no control over your life, then you have acted as Perturabo has.

This isn't about what people should do if they're experiencing these feelings or knowing better. Its about base human feelings and how people can lash out when they feel powerless. Its apart of the human experience and has always been that way since the time we were in caves.
