Slaanesh being a legitimate and rightful god of the Eldar race spawned from their own desire for ultimate hedonism/annihilation is a great interpretation.

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.

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.

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.

Crabs are perfection, please see Carcinisation / carcinization

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.

"Tiddy Horse" I want a whole ass army of Tiddy Horses.

in short, sex, pain, pleasure, luxury, secrets, comfort, sadism, masochism.

Slaanesh is HIM from the PowerPuff Girls.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Hi, i enjoy your videos so far. Your style, humor, and visuals are cool. Hope to see more so i subscribed.

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

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

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.

It was the eldar holding hands that gave rise to she who thirsts.

With how the warp works when slaanesh was birthed, it had always existed.

So Slaanesh is essentially David Bowie on acid and with a BDSM fetish...

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.

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.

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.

Not even Slaaneshi demons can escape carcinozation!

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)

Me, an Iron Hand: “Meatbags…” *[DISGUSTED MEDUSAN GRUMBLING]*

Slaanesh is my favourite god out of all possible fictional gods in any media

Really liking the videos keep ‘em up

"And they come in different shades of lilac, which is very nice." loool

I’ve always described it as “the god of Woodstock”

"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.

The claws make perfect sense. Everyone knows that crabs are the sexiest animal. Why do you think carcinisation is a phenomenon?

Crabs are a perfect form of evolution

I've never seen anybody fight a clawed demon wearing pantyhose before. I hope I never do.

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

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.

I honestly love ur commentary and cover over this topic so here’s a sub 🎉

Bruh calling Slaanesh "they" is so jaring, is it that hard to call Slaanesh "mommy"

Missed anything important?? NOISE MARINES

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.

Slaanesh is awesome.

"Agender: Tyote B" is a great way to explain Slaanesh

The crab is the perfect life form

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.

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?

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.

keepers of secrets looking like something straight out of the rocky horror show

Slaanesh demons have extra hands/claws for more unprotected handholding.

honest love these vids and share them

I always assume Slaanesh takes whatever form is sexually appealing to the person observing it

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

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.

Collaboration on Slaanesh with his biggest champion, Majorkill?

I think the reason for the Crab claws is because Crustations are considerd the perfect evolutionary life form.

They have Crab Claws because Crabs STD joke.

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😂

So what you're saying is your obsession with the hard cut leaves you vulnerable to slaaneshy corruption? 🤣

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

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.

I once went slaanesh .............................................................. NEVER AGAIN!

Slaanesh god best god

So... Slannesh looks like a Thai lady boy?

is the caretaker playing in the background in your vids?

They have crab claws, because they're pubic lice.

Its a chaos god, im not sure it cares about its pronouns

A great analog is the rat utopia experiments, look em up

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

don't care, just sign me in

BRUHHHH WHAT THE ACTUA-

when Kharn?

best part of 40k imo

Thank you. Praise Slaanesh and their steeds. I am Chara.

Crustaceans/the consumption of crustaceans is often associated with high society.

what about a video on The Masque of Slaanesh?

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

JEFFREY EPSTEIN

Do I really need to explain the link between hedonism and “crabs”? (Hint: “case of…”)

When Lotara Sarrin?

Yall clearly never been on hard drugs which is why people don't like Slannesh.

4:47 So she’s the got of tumber

Custodes, when?

Lmao I'll be like: HELP!! HELP!!!

I’m commenting at the beginning of the video good luck now let’s see how you handle this shit show

The Eldar have BPD.

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.

Do worldeaters

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

cool video

Who else be watching this for Pride month?

Hi Arthur I'm Vlad😂

Craaaaaaaaab people

Bruh 😎……

Bruh…

Now do Malice

They’re gods. They don’t really have pronouns hahah
