This is such a baffling part about a good chunk of the Warhammer fandom
How do you start a post with "these are my two favorite characters!!" and then proceed to ask a dozen questions that show you've not only never read any Ahriman or Iskandar books, but seemingly also haven't even read their lore wikis? What are you a fan of exactly?
You can just say "I'm curious about these guys" but then also, at the same time, if you are interested in them enough to want to know more and you think you'd love them: why not just read the fuckin books to find your answers?
You see a lot of this in WH40k spaces and I've never seen it anywhere else.
I learned the terms metafandom/second-degree fandom, but this isn't even that. Those terms refer to, like, someone who loves the LOTR movies but hasn't read the actual books. This shit is just...being a fan of media in an entirely abstract, hypothetical way? Where you're not actually consuming any of said media? On any level?
I'm not trying to gatekeep here, if anything I WANT them to ACTUALLY engage with the media. Because as of right now it's like if I made my friend give me a completely second-hand account of the plot of Euphoria and started telling people "God that's my favorite show" even though I have no way of knowing if ANYTHING they said is real. In fact, half the shit I'm going off of ISN'T real. I'm just the fan of a theoretical version of Euphoria.
It's surreal
