Hammer believes that every system eventually becomes corrupt and dangerous, and so it believes in periodically smashing those systems. Hammer is an impulse to revolt against the established order, or run away to the frontier where there isn’t one. It cares deeply about justice (however that’s defined) and doesn’t think the past is any indication of how things should be in the future.
Hammer worlds are often borderlands full of misfits and outcasts. Frontier colonies are haphazard and wild; cities are sprawling and dark. Whatever physical or social structures there are, they’ve been assembled by repurposing the discarded remains of what came before. A particular aesthetic of rust, dust, and grime emerges in these worlds.
Hammer thinks Dome is blatantly oppressive. Ladder, meanwhile, is just cowardly.

Jack is a master of the sublte. Epic in scale and delicate in delivery, often turning emotions on a short sequence of notes. I wish they would embrace singing more as well because The Balad of Sister Rust and Tell Me are both incredible examples of their talent and ability. hazelforgotten
