Well, hope is evil, if you think about it you realize it is the only thing that actually hurts, If you have no hope you have no pain, a man with no desire is invincible; want none, suffer none.

Someone described seeing Tzeentch to me as: “if you see a guy who says he saw tzeentch and tries to describe something, he’s a liar. If you see a guy frothing at the mouth who clawed his own eye out and is now saying something that sounds like they could be trying to say Tzeentch but their too busy making guttural noises and hiding from water on an ocean planet? That guy MIGHT have seen Tzeentch out of the corner of his eye.”

I'm disappointed bricky didn't use the best quote for Ghargatuloth: 'You just had to look around you, Grey Knight, and you'd have seen it. What is Chaos? Suffering, you might say. Oppression. Deceit. But could not all these things be said of your Imperium? You hunt down the talented and the strong-willed. You break them or sacrifice them. You lie to your citizens and wage war on those who dare speak out. The inquisitors you call masters assume guilt and execute millions on a whim. And why? Why do you do this? Because you know Chaos is there but you do not know how to fight it, so you crush your own citizens for fear that they might aid the Enemy. The Imperium suffers because of Chaos. No matter how hard you fight, that will never change. Chaos exists in a state of permanent victory over you - you dance to our tune, mortal one, you butcher and torture and repress one another because the gods of the warp require you to. The Imperium is founded on Chaos. My lord Tzeentch won your war a long, long time ago.'

[@jocosesonata]

_"My lord Tzeentch won your war a long, long time ago."_ That is just applause worthy. Just the thought of all the hardships and pain, all those bitter victory, and attrition upon attrition, not only was it a losing battle, but it has always been a lost battle from the very start. Victory was *never* on the board.

I believe that concept was borrowed from Alchemists back in the day when chemistry was still viewed as magic. A Homunculus just means “tiny man” which the reason for the name in itself is a rabbit hole but a long story short is that it’s believed theirs literally tiny people in us making our bodies function like it should “why can we see? It’s because theirs a tiny man gathering that information behind our eyes. Why can we hear voices when we think? It’s a tiny man in our heads that’s churning out ideas” it was just made a little more metaphorical once reaching psychology.

Lots of folks posting favourite Tzeentch quotes, so here's mine. "I'll never serve your cause", said Dathan, "Never. I will always betray you because I am a man, and Mankind is all that stands in the way of things like you and the ultimate annihilation of everything." "Nothing stands in the way of the ultimate annihilation of everything," Tzeentch said. "In the end, everything possessed of life returns to air, and ash, and dust. Everything possessed of energy returns to lifelessness. All that matters is how things burn - not how quickly, but *how* . I need enemies, Dathan, more than I need allies. There is nothing quite so precious to me as a traitor."

couple tidbits i'd like to add because tzeentch is amazing: Those flamers of tzeentch? Their flames don't always burn. Their flames have built in RNG that can cause someone to smell sweet, get covered in wine, burn away their soul and not their flesh or make them immune to all fire. In a similar vein there is the Mutalith Vortex Beast, a massive daemon that has a giant rift into the warp open on it's back that radiates magical effects. It can cause people to turn inside out, vaporize an enemy, give healing properties to anyone near it or give a random nearby person the exact power necessary to kill a Mutalith Vortex Beast. The self-defeating randomness of Tzeentch is my favorite part of his lore.

One of the wildest things about Tzeentch is the fact that he also represents hope... he literally is behind your ear when you want things to be better. In the Ahriman trilogy Tzeentch tells him that he is his favorite human, and his favorite servant, because despite betraying the imperium, despite ruining the golden throne and dooming the human webway, and then literally betraying his genefather Magnus, and using a spell that turned so many of his loyal soldiers into dust slaves.... AHRIMAN STILL HAVES HOPE! he still hopes and plans and schemes homehow hoping that next time...the next thing will work out...somehow he will fix the spell, he will be accepted by Magnus again, he will stop the Thousand Sons' mutations, all will be perfect! Ahriman is mad enough to think there is a way out of this hell, he still hopes he can fix this shit...

[@reaperking2121]

Broh if you really want to get wacky, because he represents change as well as hope with him living, all of the 4 gods can be killed, as it would be right in line with his idea that everything is possible. The only snag would be you have to kill all 4 all at once because if any of them dont die simoultanously the world would probably get all sorts of fucked.

Tzeentch is notable for actually having one of the biggest "pet the dog" moments in 40k. That being he thought Ahriman did such a good job being his favorite champion Tzeentch wanted to gift him with "oblivion." Basically wipe his soul from existence. Considering every other Chaos follower is destined to an eternity of damnation and suffering with their souls being devoured by daemons. It was probably the kindest thing a Chaos god could "gift" someone. His court of Daemons were completely shocked. Though he did reconsider later on.

[@Brutalyte616]

The problem is that Tzeentch doesn't have full control over his sphere of influence, or himself for that matter. He can't enforce stagnancy and order on to his work as it runs contrary to his nature, so inevitably things slip out of his grasp and go against his intentions, including himself, as his machinations run contrary to one another. For Tzeentch, the 1st perfect plan is inconsequential to the 2nd, and that 2nd plan inconsequential to the 3rd, which is in itself invalidated by the 1st; Tzeentch can't help but change his mind constantly, and the fact he is an omniscient being that perceives time in a non-linear fashion complicates things IMMENSELY because his past, present, and future selves are planning around one another just as much as the other Chaos Gods and the Emperor.

When I saw the title, my brain immediately started to play the Vsauce theme and began imagining a video of the indecisive mollusk trying to convince us chaos both is and is not evil and how the parodox makes perfect sense.

Shortstack goblins are top tier Bricky is becoming less based by the minute I'm guessing he never played Twilight Princess because Midna cannot be beat Also Shy's editing is amazing

My new head cannon is that depending on how nice his breakfast was Like he had a really nice bacon sandwich on a weekend so a random mortal gets like immense psyker powers and near or no downsides and gets out alive While if TZEENCH had like 6 grapes for breakfast he just tortures and moulds mortals that enter into fucking clay pots

Just as they were talking about Tzeentch’s connections to Egyptian culture I got a notification for a video titled something like “Why the Ancient Egyptians went Extinct” I feel like the Changer of Ways is up to something here…

[@JEilonwyn]

Jesus... the subtle change from "normal" to smoke and green flames and Shy looking VERY worried... wow! I did not actually realize it was happening until about minute 40. REALLY well done.

[@khylerbane4523]

You would ask Tzeentch a question, and that question leads to three more questions and those questions lead to the heat death of the universe which asks four answers to those questions and then he thinks to himself "What are questions even really? And are you even asking the questions? Or are you simply giving paths to answers?" -Bricky describing Tzeentch in a nutshell.

[@1000Tomatoes]

An important bit of Tzeench lore is that it used to be the strongest chaos god, but the other chaos gods came together to defeat Tzzench and instead of being defeated it shattered it's crystal staff in surrender, losing a lot of power. The shards of the staff supposedly spread across the universe and that was the birth of sorcery.

You see Tzeentch made sure that matt ward would become a writer at GW ensuring that the Ultramarines would be over represented, while at the same time he would also influence the creation of orks so that shy would get into warhammer, thus that would make it so years later she would invite bricky in order to make Adeptus rediculus and DK would sell his soul to Tzeentchb ALL ACCORDING TO PLAN !

1:00:44 Bricky mentions the impossible robe, the relic that gives a 4+ invul save, essentially making them as durable as a Custodes. There is a neat catch, once per game you can re roll that save of it fails, if you land a 1 on that re roll, the wearer immediately dies.

I know that y'all aren't as into Age of Sigmar but I do want to bring up the Silver Towers of Tzeentch. They are run by nine of Tzeentch's Gaunt Summoners who are these powerful mages, they basically exist as dungeons and challenge points to entertain Tzeentch by luring adventurers in with promises of treasure and rewards, and often not fulfilling their promises. The Silver towers can travel between the Mortal Realms of AOS with little Rhyme or Reason, being in the Realm of Fire one day, only to be in the Realm of Beasts the next. They're kind of a trippy microcosm of Tzeentch's realm without being in the realm of Chaos.

Tzeentch used to be the strongest chaos god, the other three had to work together to sunder him, the Blue Scribes are working to find all pieces of him to return him to his previous strength. Also suprised there was no mention of the young girl that completed Tzeentch's maze with no adverse side effects. (Alice in Wonderland reference)
