Slaanesh being a legitimate and rightful god of the Eldar race spawned from their own desire for ultimate hedonism/annihilation is a great interpretation.
could they not just mitigate the damage by worshipping her then?
@@karlwikman3874When Slaanesh was born, they were so super-charged from such direct and overwhelming worship that she easily devoured every other Aeldari God and Goddess. There is no way for Aeldari to worship as Slaanesh devours their soul on the mere direct mention and thought to them, to then be tormented by him for all eternity.
@@karlwikman3874 Giving yourself up to the service of an unspeakably evil interdimensional god is a pretty bad option for mitigating damage. But yes, that is actually an option. The Drukhari (Dark Eldar) are basically Eldar which decided to give themselves to Slanesh. Their existence consists entirely of torturing innocent people to death in intricate ways, and raiding foreign worlds to get more people to torture.
I don't think easily is exactly right. She did have a huge death match with Khaine after all.
@@BoneCrusherXDYes and Khaine got blown into bajillion pieces
Ah Slaanesh, every warhammer lore Chanel’s try not to get demonetized challenge topic;)
A while back, I asked my lore nerd how "bad or good" the orgy the Eldar were having when they " murder fucked" Slaanesh into existence. She gave me a bunch of Dark Eldar lore to read (some real dark shit) , then proceeded to tell me, that they the Dark Eldar were the conservative ones who weren't invited because they were too lame.
Makes you think huh.
The sentence "The Dark Eldar were the Conservative ones" is single handedly one of the funniest things I've read in a while.
Jesus christ
The dark eldar are the ones who wanted in but wern't invited
The craftworlders where the ones who were disgusted and left
And the harliquines saw what was going to happen tried to warn everyone but were to cryptic in their messages and now do whatever
Eldar being Vague and Cryptic!!!?
Big if true
When I think of Slaanesh-related orgies, the first thing that pops into mind is flaying. First the clothes come off, then some of the skin comes off, then someone gets surgically altered into a living sex toy. Then things get _wild._
basically Khore warriors are obsessed with killing the strongest foes, the Slaanesh warriors are more obsessed with getting the most applause while doing it
The danger of Slaanesh is that even the most pious Inquisitor who enjoys his job feeds She-who-thirsts, the noblest Custodes who takes pride in his skill feeds the Prince of Pleasure and even a Khornate who relishes in butchering worthy foes feeds Slaanesh.
Honestly an interesting theory with Slaanesh that I like is that Slaanesh's and their daemon's forms are completely dependent on the proclivities of whoever's viewing them at any given time, even down to specific details like if you prefer tomboys or twinks or himbos and anything in between.
I think that concept really helps highlight the weird eldritch/memetic cognitohazard effect Chaos is supposed to be in general.
Bro i swear i dont like horses with 6 tits or intergender / intersexual guygals with 1 tit, that's totally not what im seeing im not weird trust me, the models look completely non-perverted to me and you cant proove otherwise
Well same thing with Tzeetch. Anything you hoped for, every impossible thing you want to happen and every ambition you have will be conjured though in a sense of a twisted bad genie perspective
So in the 40k verse everyone’s attracted to crustaceans?
@@ijustreviewI mean, _you_ see them as crustaceans....
@@mnk9073 does daemonette bondage involve rubber banding their hands?
Personally I think there being crab claws is a metaphor for how crabs in buckets usually try to escape, but craps being spiteful with grab the escapee and drag them back down.
LOL
And here I thought it was supposed to be a joke about pubic lice. (crabs)
The claws are there to pinch your nuts
Slaanesh is HIM from the PowerPuff Girls.
"Tiddy Horse"
I want a whole ass army of Tiddy Horses.
Cold One Knights better
Crabs are perfection, please see Carcinisation / carcinization
Not sure whether I should google it.
@@user-df5ym9dv5gFour months late, but It's just the theory that everything will eventually evolve into some sort of crab.
So theoretically this is lore accurate
in short, sex, pain, pleasure, luxury, secrets, comfort, sadism, masochism.
To excess. That's the thing people often miss. They have to do all of these things to excess, because they have to top the last high. And as they get more extreme, their sense of what pleasure and pain are gets warped and twisted. Ultimately, they end up doing very alien and bizarre things just for a flicker of feeling.
For some reason I considered pain and pleasure the opposites.
With even shorter, one word. More.
@@user-df5ym9dv5g Yes & no. Pain has the odd effect of releasing endorphins as a natural pain killer response. Couple that with the fact some people are just kinky as all hell & will do whatever it takes to get off, hey presto - Masochism!
If i recall correctly the crab claws are a representation of lobsters or crabs as some scientists/psychologists view crustacians as having the most optimal or best society. This adds to the whole "perfection" trope as the daemons of slaanesh are the most optimal/the best/ or perfect.
One aspekt of slaneesh that often goes unmentioned but should be, is the way the dependence escalates.
To worship slaneesh is like a drug of it‘s own. And not one you wanna take if you see anyone addicted for a longer time already.
Because the hightened sense of pleasure and enjoyment and all the other emotiona you get get‘s less and less thrilling with each time. The high is less rewarding so to say. And the influence of the god of excess drives the worshippers to do more and mire extreme things to chase that high and go down more and mire in regions that are not „uh it‘s the god of sex“ and more „the god of CP, SA,Cannibalism and skinning your closest friends alive all at the same time in the desperate hope this time it‘s gonna be enough to feel the high again“ kind of way.
If you obly describe it as sinning and sex and debautchery it can sound kinda fun. But the catch is that it starts like that, but oh boi does it go down hill.
Oh, you may 'kind of get it'
But make no mistake meeting a chaos god halfway, you're going to get it how 'they want it' and you're just coming along for the ride one way or another.
for everyone, who tries to understand slaneesh... look at the origins, read le fanu's carmilla. pure emotions dialed to 11. papa will embrace you in the end anyway, might just suffer/have fun till the end of time
take a look at the old steed of Slaanesh and apply your imagination as to why they are always seen straddled by a daemonette. They weren't as subtle back then
I would've thought the crab motif among Daemonettes was self-explanatory: what activities can you engage in that fill the room with the scent of lobster thermidor?
Right.
Slaanesh is the god of perfection, crab is the perfect body plan, evolve to crab!
Also they're probably pretty handy for nipple pinching.
also pubic lice are called crabs
Hi, i enjoy your videos so far. Your style, humor, and visuals are cool. Hope to see more so i subscribed.
awesome!
Glad you enjoy!
I'm gonna be trying to make a lot of content in the coming months
see if I can maintain a 2-3 video a week type schedule
or wither to ash like Malcador on the throne doing so
Not needed but when you do khorn you need to add a segment for daemon princes specifically so you can talk about how Agron when he ass a daemon prince beat a Slaaneshi greater daemon so hard with a pipe the pipe turned into a sword
With how the warp works when slaanesh was birthed, it had always existed.
It was the eldar holding hands that gave rise to she who thirsts.
The Eldar didn’t just get bored. Think about the timing. They were spiritually stable for literally tens of millions of years. What happened around the time they began to lose their collective minds? The AI rebellion slaughtered trillions upon trillions of humans, pouring terrified and tormented souls into the warp.
So Slaanesh is essentially David Bowie on acid and with a BDSM fetish...
Summon a choas god (gone wrong) (gone sexual???)
Crabs are scientifically the sexiest species of animal. You may not like it, but they are what raw sex appeal looks like.
Not even Slaaneshi demons can escape carcinozation!
They have crabs claws because crabs are the ultimate life form. Source: nature remaking crabs over and over again, can't wait for flying crabs.
Slaanesh is my favourite god out of all possible fictional gods in any media
I expected all of this to be way hotter and more tempting. Maybe I'd do fine in 40k, and wouldn't instantly be corrupted or anything.
I’ve always described it as “the god of Woodstock”
It starts out that way, but in the end, it's more like the God of Fyre Festival.
Me, an Iron Hand: “Meatbags…”
*[DISGUSTED MEDUSAN GRUMBLING]*
You forgot that the Chaos Gods have always existed too.
"In the warp, things are different, for the immaterium is not bound by linear time, and events do not occur in a strict sequence of cause then effect. As his rival gods reckon it, Slaanesh has always existed and yet never existed at all." (8th edition codex)
Really liking the videos keep ‘em up
The claws make perfect sense. Everyone knows that crabs are the sexiest animal. Why do you think carcinisation is a phenomenon?
What?
8:39 GW names are always either awe inspiring or dumb.
On one hand you have things like "Archmagos Dominus Belisarius Cawl", "Szarekh, the silent king", "Warlord titan", ....
And then you have Ferrus Manus (Who has iron hands and his name means iron hands in latin), the leader of the iron hands and Slaanesh's pony.
Great video mate, do I do not understand why you use "Everywhere at the end of time" for the background music of some of your videos, kind of weird choice if you ask me.
Don't forget Corvus Corax, which is the primarch of the Raven Guard. His name is the scientific name for the common Raven.
Actually every song I use is from that album lol
It's kind of a running joke with me and a few friends to see if anyone would ask about it.
so congrats on being the first to point it out.
@@TheBoneZone40k And Angron, because having him be a gigantic red daemon (or a gigantic man who can only feel either extreme rage or extreme pain) with both a humongous axe and blade was not enough indication of his emotional state, like at least give the poor man a surname.
And also, yeah, it seemed kind of odd to use basically the soundtrack of dementia to talk about "She who thirsts". Though I am proud to be the first to notice your secret .
I think a good runner up is Mortarion from the Death Guard, but his name isn't too on the nose.
Still counts tho.
Yeah, it is a bit odd.
I'm thinking at some point I'll switch it up to some other royalty free meme music like all the good little lore channel nerds, but for now I just want people to feel that slight edge of existential dread whenever they watch one of my videos
ya know
for laughs
@@TheBoneZone40k don’t change it, it is ads to the video immensely
@@TheBoneZone40k I noticed almost as soon as I started watching your videos and I gotta say, it works perfectly for 40k. 40k lore SHOULD be unsettling.
Crabs are a perfect form of evolution
"And they come in different shades of lilac, which is very nice." loool
I've never seen anybody fight a clawed demon wearing pantyhose before. I hope I never do.
Great, you spoiled it. Now we have to do something else for 2025.
They really made the cenobites from Hellraiser
A race
explaining go:
eldar were so fucked up they murderfucked slaneesh into existence - yes that is a fact not a meme
she - yes she, eldar refer to her as "she who thirsts" and since they created her they know the best what they created
so she hunts for eldar souls
normal eldar big tiddy elf girlfriends have tied their souls to gems on their armors - if they die, they die
but dark eldar - those who reamain as fucked up as they were when they murderfucked slaneesh into existence hide in their realm, if they die she snacks
now the misconception comes from "fourth chaos god"
deamon this, chaos god that and all of a sudden people talk about "prince of excess"
but that's not when misconceptions end
pleasure and excess are not only related to sex and blood orgies - something wich people forget about
one of ways slaneesh messes with people is pursuit of perfection - you will never be perfect, do this fucked up thing, cut that part out and it will finally feel good, for 5 minutes...
pursuit of happiness
and others that every warhammer lore enthusiast wish he had...
and the reason we know relatively so little about slaneesh is that GW writers can't go past sex and blood orgies with their imagination and that's why she basically did fuck all for so long
like that one sister of battle that fell to slaneesh... she basically sealed herself and violently masturbates for 10 thousand years because writers don't know what to do with her
that's GW's biggest failure
making great setting and plotpoints
and making it stupidly grimdark so it's not only edgier than a pizza cutter
but also trying to hit target audience under 18 so they have entire traitor legion of sodomites and goddess of bdsm sex but can't do anything with them
But hasnt slaanesh been shown with a cock and balls? And doesnt the imperium refer to him in male terms?
I think that particular Chaos Sister of Battle was challenged by an inquisitor
This is what keepers of secrets used to look like?
The oldest models had fully bull heads: one half "rape minotaur", one half "golden calf" idolatry.
Spinal Tap turned their amps up to 11. Slaaneshi amps start at 12 as a standard. No one has actually managed to turn the dial up any further than this though as they're always too fucked out of their boxes & forgotten what a dial is.
That is his actual full name. Jagatai Fucking Khan. It's on his driver's license, in his wallet, right next to the card his dad gave him that lets him drive through STOP signs, because? He's a good boy.
"Kraybs"...another example of you making me have weird convos with my workmates about why I'm laughing.
But hey, confounding squares is one of my favorite pass times.
Ain’t no party like a diddy party!
I honestly love ur commentary and cover over this topic so here’s a sub 🎉
Slaanesh loves subs. Doms, too.
Missed anything important?? NOISE MARINES
Bruh calling Slaanesh "they" is so jaring, is it that hard to call Slaanesh "mommy"
I call it "a blight upon existence and tumor to reality that must be either destroyed or changed for the better"
@@theenderdestruction2362 Thought the Arbites would have to kill 2 heretics for a second.
Well they go buy either gender so its pretty fitting
You also get the added benefit of calling slaanesh mommy or daddy depending on your preference which fits super well i think lmao
The crab is the perfect life form
Slaanesh is awesome.
I once went slaanesh .............................................................. NEVER AGAIN!
as someone with extremely fucked up sexual tastes, i know it can always get worse, slaanesh is the infinite and you dont want any of that.
honest love these vids and share them
"Agender: Tyote B" is a great way to explain Slaanesh
is the caretaker playing in the background in your vids?
yes indeed he is!
EATEOT is an amazing album.
keepers of secrets looking like something straight out of the rocky horror show
They have Crab Claws because Crabs STD joke.
Slaanesh demons have extra hands/claws for more unprotected handholding.
personally I like the crab motive much more than a abrahamic religion inspired snake thing
a reason why i like warhammer demons overall, they are not as clear cut catholic seven cardinal sin demons
those are tiresome
even if Khorne could be wrath and slaanesh lust
we still have machiavelli and goop granpa as demons, so that's good
Ok, look. I get how immortality can get boring after a few millennia. However, I still firmly believe there had to be other options to relieve that boredom that didn't require murder orgies. When you are part of a race capable of creating sentient weapons that can warp and twist reality, then you definitely have options that don't require going straight for ultra hedonism. Why not try to expand the Eldar Empire to other galaxies? How about trying to use that psychic power to fix the warp? How about trying ANYTHING that doesn't involve ritualistic murder orgies?
I think the reason for the Crab claws is because Crustations are considerd the perfect evolutionary life form.
Collaboration on Slaanesh with his biggest champion, Majorkill?
A great analog is the rat utopia experiments, look em up
Slaanesh god best god
when first time know about Slaanesh, god of excess and pleasure, i think her demon will have a lot tentacle-like things, turn out it crab claws😂
maybe they have crab claws because a lot of species on earth (and beyond, probably?) actually end up evolving into crab-like things, so thats what they find hot lmao
just like they have tits because there are a lot of mammal like species on the galaxy
best part of 40k imo
when Kharn?
When Lotara Sarrin?
Slaanesh is a wonderfully interesting god as they are a god of excess. As such, the other gods, being excess of the highest order of their respective fields. HATE Slaanesh. There's a reason they sealed them away in AOS, the other three do not like nor trust them.
what about a video on The Masque of Slaanesh?
Crustaceans/the consumption of crustaceans is often associated with high society.
kk, Lore time. In the Early editions 1st and 2nd of Warhammer 40K it was thus: The last sane Eldar realizing the fate of the race built the world ships, left planet and then bombed their own home worlds. The psychic death screams of billions created Slaanesh. The remaining eldar living on in strict secular enclaves aboard the worldships while billions or even trillions where destroyed by there own kind. A lasting side effect was a lack of fertility among the Eldar, Their speacies was dying. So each Eldarlost in battle was worth a 1000 men.
a point reason for aspect warriors that were OP.
I always assume Slaanesh takes whatever form is sexually appealing to the person observing it
I want to meet this Slaneesh.
BRUHHHH WHAT THE ACTUA-
So what you're saying is your obsession with the hard cut leaves you vulnerable to slaaneshy corruption? 🤣
I have to ask, did you take your name from Mr. Bones, the Droid from the aftermath series of star wars? I'm sure there's a different story for the name, I just love that character from those books. For anyone who likes star wars look it up, greatest murder B1 battle Droid ever who makes ya laugh while he does it.
Again, awesome videos man, I really enjoy the channel so far
Thanks for the comment!
and I'm glad you appreciate my videos, I have a lot of fun making them
unfortunately no, the whole Mr. Bones thing is a silly online thing. My online pseudonym ever since I became a bit more public has always been Arthur Bones, often Shortened just to Mr. Bones
Though I am familiar with the droid you speak of.
@Mr. Bones 40k either way it's a pretty cool pseudonym. It reminded me of those books and I had to ask. Not many franchises have a murder robot who wears bones and his murder talent comes from having a dancing program installed. Before I started reading warhammer novels, I was engrossed in the star wars EU books but eventually I ran out and they don't make those anymore. From there I needed a new long franchise to dive into and I loved dawn of war. That was years ago and now I'm lore obsessed with an endless tide of books to read. And yeah man, thank you for making the videos. I love reading the books but some times I like hearing some things put together this way and I think you do as good a job as most of the other 40k content creators. I look forward to more!
So... Slannesh looks like a Thai lady boy?
A million times to the extreme 🥵
In theory, it would be split down the middle male/female on each side with hermaphrodic genitals. Slaanesh presents both at the same time. I kind of like the lady boy concept more just because it is less off-putting by nature, but it is WH.
They have crab claws, because they're pubic lice.
Do I really need to explain the link between hedonism and “crabs”? (Hint: “case of…”)
4:47 So she’s the got of tumber
Its a chaos god, im not sure it cares about its pronouns
Do worldeaters
Custodes, when?
don't care, just sign me in
JEFFREY EPSTEIN
That's like saying mayo has the same kick as a Carolina Reaper.
Thank you. Praise Slaanesh and their steeds. I am Chara.
Lmao I'll be like: HELP!! HELP!!!
The Eldar have BPD.
Personally, I think the story of 40K would go better if Slaanesh kicked the bucket or was severely weakened.
-Firstly in the setting of constant warfare that is Warhammer, who really has time for decadence?
-Secondly with the Introduction of Vashtorr he could act as the replacement god.
-thirdly, the option of a cloned Fulgrim to redeem himself and kill his imposter would be a great shakeup for the setting.
-fourth: this could lead to more Eldar models.
I mean, no matter how grimdark your setting is, people are gonna get horny. And considering how repressive and totalitarian the Imperium is, a god representing the desire to break rank and indulge in your own desires makes perfect sense.
Also Vashtorr is cool because he's an underdog trying to power play his way to the top. If he succeeds and muscles his way in then you lose the most interesting part of that character.
Also also Slaanesh is the coolest Chaos God and giving them the boot would be dumb.
@@nathanl8622 this has happened in AOS, where Slaanesh was extremely weakened, and compared to Tzeentch, Khorne, and Nurgle. Slannesh isn’t making major power plays. Mortarion had his Ultramar fiasco, Angron got to fight the Lion, Magnus got to fight Guilliman on the moon. Meanwhile Fulgrim hasn’t had anything nearly as close.
Also, A lot of the fan base see Lucius the Eternal as a trash character, and Fulgrim is 99.9% irredeemable. The only one I’d be generally interested to see struggle through this is Fabius Bile.
@@nathanl8622 this btw is my most controversial opinion. I’d be perfectly fine if it doesn’t happen.
I mean, the Eldar Laughing God does claim to have a plan to steal all the Eldar's souls back from Slaanesh so there is cannon hope for that
I feel like so much of the 40k lore scene has pretty intelligent people who don't know what the fuck they're talking about 😂 crabs are a creature in mythology and around the world that can be associated with greed and excess. That's why Slaneshi demons get crab claws
Yall clearly never been on hard drugs which is why people don't like Slannesh.
cool video
Sad they did away with they whole theme it "feels" like I'm Age of Sigmar. It got a dull edge unlike it's Fantasy originator.
I’m commenting at the beginning of the video good luck now let’s see how you handle this shit show
Love Slaanesh but fuck I'm getting tired of the crab shit like the Remus perfect human form thing is cool by why not go baki levels of grotesque and yet beautiful human forms instead of here's a claw
Bruh 😎……
Who else be watching this for Pride month?
Bruh…
Craaaaaaaaab people
