#warhammer40kkin

❌ "My hearing keeps getting muffled due to earwax buildup" - Distressing because I don't have my augmentations - Further reminds me of the failings of flesh - Kinda gross

✅ "This unit's auditory systems are prone to malfunction" - Affirming language - Makes it sound less worrying - I get to daydream about a tech priest fixing me up

What do you MEAN I've been having some kinda Warhammer 40k skitarii cameoshift where my legs feel as if they've been cut off and replaced with metal. WHAT DO YOU MEANNN.

At least the skitarii brain is helping me lock in and be productive??

I had a dream about a techpriestess, once.

She was incredibly sweet. I must've told her about my insecurities, because she was giving me a pep talk as she led me through great bustling halls.

We stopped in this side room by the entrance to a stage. A sicarian sat on a nearby platform, patching up their arm.

I remember the priestess gave me something, I did the sign of the cog in thanks, she did it back, and it took every ounce of willpower in me to not blurt out "maam this is the best day of my life" ghsdjf

I just felt so welcomed in that moment. Like I truly belonged, like I was exactly where I was supposed to be. I would've eagerly explored the place if I hadn't woken up soon after.

Sometimes this unit feels inadequate. Its status as a tech-priest-in-training is born of many factors, putting it in a strange position.

Terran-born, so far back into the past, left to pick up the pieces. Scanning through wiki articles and old quotes as if they were holy texts, admiring artwork as if it were painted in a time both familiar and foreign.

Lighting the spark, holding it close, keeping it alive through whispers. A feeling of legacy, a sense of duty.

But is this unit truly worthy? It struggles. It struggles so much. It is neither the most knowledgeable nor the most capable. Sometimes its best is not enough.

The fingers that thread into the sign of the cog tremble, nails bitten down to the quick.

But whenever this unit's thoughts sink, whenever the maladies of its brain begin to buzz like scrapcode, there is one thing above all else that lifts it to the surface:

This unit is alive.

This unit is alive, its blood pumping and its lungs filling with air. Even when it is at its lowest, even when it is merely surviving, this unit is cherished by both its peers and the avatar of knowledge to which it turns for guidance.

For what more could be asked of it than to survive, and if possible, to live, when it is adrift in such a dangerous galaxy?

This unit's inexperience is an invitation to learn, not a discouraging force! It has so much to do! So much to see! Its journey has just barely begun, and its peers are already so proud!!

This unit is worthy. This unit is not inadequate. And as it looks to the stars, it knows that all will be well.

I finally said fuck it and updated my kinlist with my "problematic" sources like Warhammer 40k and I'm so anxious-- I keep trying to tell myself things like, if my friends ditch me for being Lorgar or something, they were never really my friends. But the idea of maybe them being mad at me is still really scary -- sometimes I hate kinning from sources like that, but it feels bad to repress
