    I feel like this misrepresents the chaos gods, except maybe Tzeentch.

    Khorne: Drown your depression in HATE!

    Nurgle: That’s just how some people are, you’ll learn to live with it. (Unstated, “Because I’ll give you no choice.”)

    Slaanesh: What you need, is a distraction. We have sex, food, drugs, or art.

      Nurgle: That’s just how some people are, you’ll learn to live with it. (Unstated, “Because I’ll give you no choice.”)

      But people love their Papa Nurgle, because he cares*

      *caring includes being inflicted with the most horrific diseases imaginable, and some unimaginable

      Slaanesh: What you need, is a distraction. We have sex, food, drugs, or art.

      I mean, Slaanesh does say here “There are many pleasures waiting for you to experience.”

      I feel like Khorne is the weakest one here.

    How can the emperor be so smart, brilliant, etc… and so obviously terrible in all the soft skills needed to actually enact all his genius plans?

    OP this is clearly some heresy. The Emperor ask his fellow men to rise above their base desires and embrace the highest virtues, while the gods of chaos only seek to bring you to down to their level.

    I’m of the thought that Slaanesh would encourage you to indulge and dive deep into your depression. You’d begin to find comfort in avoiding anything that worsens the accompanying anxiety until one day you find something that lets you avoid it all and even feels good in ever increasing excess. Eventually all that matters is your quest to get more of that something leaving behind a wake of chaos as you leave your job and destroy your family, community, and yourself.

    “Just man up” doesn’t work in the long run at all. You will die to a heretic before you realize it though.
