The reason why Nurgle followers are mostly cheerful and devoted is because they’ve fallen into total despair and then gone mad with the love of their god. That lore worth pondering deeply.
And even so, they’ll say things like, “No point in risking your life for a moment’s pleasure,” to Slaanesh followers, and they’ll passionately rebel against Death factions like, “Life is something that’s meant to cycle!!”
I love that they act like masochists who follow a code — even though they’re not actually masochists.
In fact, Nurgle followers aren’t masochists at all. If anything, they believe in love so intensely that they’ve ended up in this weird, sterile sort of purity. That’s what I love about them.
