omg yaaas @bomberqueen17 girl I want to write so much about my/Kylo’s death metal identity and death cultism and post pics of my mayhem tattoo. but I think at this point my followers are probably like “wtf is this ashgate business”
I DID NOT KNOW YOU HAD A MAYHEM TATTOO
Well, *I* feel like it’s relevant! Also you’re not the only person I’ve seen dealing with the Ashes Of His Victims thing, it’s been most of my dash even though most of my dash Doesn’t Even Go Here (it’s been entertaining how Star Wars is sort of universal like that).
I was actually in Norway in 1997, and visited the site of one of the churches that the satanists burned– Bergen’s extremely old stave church. My relatives were beyond incensed; I hung out with a bunch of high school kids and even the ones among them who were sort of into various scenes all still soundly condemned the church-burners because Bergenese loved their stave church and let me tell you it was something, Norwegians are pretty reserved and it’s hard to get them fired up but when you do it’s, well, you don’t forget it. And it was the first I’d heard of any of it, and so that’s how I first found out about death metal. (TERRIFYING.)
But is there anything more Dark Side than that! The church burned at night and the whole city witnessed it, given its location on a mountainside– the city is on a series of mountainsides that all radiate towards the fjord, and so the huge fire was visible from almost every neighborhood. Imagine all that energy. Imagine how angry all those people were. It was 900-year-old pine soaked in pitch, it went up like a torch, and everyone saw it and instantly knew what it was. (And Bergen lost a lot of its historic architecture in an accidental explosion during WWII– some asshat was welding on a ship carrying a high-explosive cargo– that flattened a big section of downtown, including the medieval king’s hall, so they’re already tetchy as fuck about their history stuff.)
ANYWAY I am digressing. (And of COURSE I don’t condone burning antiquities. But fictionally————)
