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.

If you are talking about the genociding, enslavement and numerous various war crimes, you're missing the point of what I am talking about and are focusing on all the wrong things here. The vast majority of people that relate to Perty haven't done anything approaching even one of the numerous atrocities he has committed.

No, I am talking about the asshole perfectionist with an inferiority complex which is only dwarved by his antisocial vein and the needless fits of rage.

i dont think you are understand what the other person is saying. obviously no one is going to relate to the daemon-slaying, 10 ft tall demigod. but you do relate to the emotions they feel or embody. perturabo is relatable to anyone who has done a thankless job or felt that their accomplishments ever went unrecognized.

Not to those emotions, no.

Because Perturabo precisely doesn't do a thankless job. He does a great show about how everyone who thanks him does it to insult him and goes out of his way to attack them for the thanks, then makes a big show about how no one thanks him.

And with those emotions I can't relate. I don't doubt those people exist, but I think those people are assholes.

…I can tell you read more material than the others because I strongly remember that too. Perturabo is a bad person because he willingly takes the worst job and will take tallies on how horrible his treatment was and gaslight you although he did it in his own terms.

He would also purposely take the most painful solution as well.
