The Imperium in Warhammer 40k is a very interesting and haunting dissection and personification of Empire, a structure of power. Obviously the Primarchs have been my first entry into WH40k, thus many of my queries begin with them. What are the Primarchs? What are all of the individual devices, these Primarchs, that make up the essence of Empire? What message do each of them convey, and what do they represent within the contexts they are shown in? What could have been the two Primarchs that would have been culled out of the 20?
From there, based on what you personally know as the reader and have experienced/are familiar with, at your heart you begin to mentally overlay many ideas at once. You realize there are always more questions, some with intersecting results and others answered more specifically - if you can garner these responses from your reading. Personally this is something I love testing, and I have a lot of fun focusing on individual dynamics between characters before stepping back to see how their environment, or life, has shaped them.
There will especially be more questions if you pull the entirety of 40k sheer to reach the expanse and complexity of our own real histories. Namely done for the purpose of drawing these connections, so it's also fair to understand the lens of the authors as well! This is why perspective is so important. There are many perspectives and all are vital to understanding the whole image as it has been written down across texts and now displayed on screens.
Okay! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I just wanted to take some time to somewhat coherently explain why I've been going insane is all :) ty for ur time
