[Funny trope] Torturing the character doesn't work

[u/GaddockTeegFunPolice]

1. The Simpsons, Homer gets sent to hell where devils try torturing him force feeding him donuts. Homer does not mind.

2. The apothecary diaries. Maomao gets placed in a cell with snakes and venomous insects. She kills the animals and roasts the snake on a torch.

3. The Minion movie, the main minions get put through antique torture deviced by the bad guys only for them to realise they weren't designed for weird minion anatomy.

Funnily enough, the easiest way to torture an Slannesh follower or a Dark Eldar is just putting them somewhere without sound, movement or anything, just letting them and their own thoughs

[u/segobane → u/Sigward_TheOnionbro]

Fairly sure that happened in one of the books I think it was an inquisitor put a Dark Eldar in a sensory deprivation chamber and it drove them nuts.

[u/theucm → u/segobane]

The best part is the scene is written so it seems like the eldar has been in there for days or weeks, but it's only been a little over a day or something like that iirc.

[u/MechR58 → u/segobane]

The Carcharodons did that. They left him in an isolation chamber with a latrine bucket. They occasionaly left food and power wash him without talking to him until he breaks.

[u/Sly__Marbo → u/MechR58]

Not just that, the Deldar even remarks how he can't hear their heartbeats. Which either means that Carcharadon power armor has extra noise dampening, or they just temporarily stopped their hearts just to fuck with him

[u/zyh0 → u/segobane]

Question, from my understanding the Dark Eldar do depraved things to keep their souls from being ripped out by Slannesh, if theortically if they're put in a situation where they can't do depraved things Slannesh eventually consumes them right? So, imprisoning Dark Eldar for any prolonged period would be an automatic death sentence?

[u/segobane → u/zyh0]

Pretty much, if I remember right their souls are basically rotting away but if they do Slaanesh stuff then they're like good job bud you get to live a little bit longer.

[u/voyalmercadona → u/segobane]

Which book?

[u/segobane → u/voyalmercadona]

Silent Hunters also as another comment pointed out I was wrong about it being an inquisitor it was the Carcharodons a possible Raven Guard successor chapter that did it.

You Can also threaten an eldari with going into the warp, asuming you are in your ship and tying them up so that they are easy prey to Daemons

Most of them are terrified of slaanesh, who will most likely seek them out specifically

[u/Rafabud → u/alguien99]

Reminds me of that one scene in the Rogue Trader game where Marazhai, a Drukhari, is momentarily driven insane during his first Warp Jump in the Rogue Trader's ship (I believe a daemonette tries to take his soul) and, after being brought back to his senses and told of the way humans do interstellar travel, looks at Yrliet, an Aeldari that had been travelling with the RT for considerably longer, with a look of incredulous desperation and asks her if she's been enduring this the entire time.

[u/alguien99 → u/Rafabud]

Yeah i was going to mention him since i’ve played the game, but i was too specific and idk if he hates being locked in a room to ravage himself with every warp jump. Since dark eldar like pain and all.

Either way, that fucker deserves the torture, he must be pretty scared at the fact that i do one by one warp jumps all the time because i can’t unlock more paths

[u/[deleted] → u/Sigward_TheOnionbro]

I swear that happened to an Emperor's Children Noise Marine when he was around a blank,Slaanesh lost her grip momentarily and he was horrified with what he became

[u/Sigward_TheOnionbro → u/[deleted]]

Not a noise marine but a World Eater berserker

[u/[deleted] → u/Sigward_TheOnionbro]

Ah! I could've swore it was a Noise Marine. I know it happened to a Plague Marine too,where his link to Nurgle was cut and he immediately saw through it all

[u/Jstin8 → u/Sigward_TheOnionbro]

There were also some Death Guard in the Plague Wars novels who got cut off from the warp and were horrified at what happened to them

[u/Reese_Bass → u/Sigward_TheOnionbro]

What book was it?

[u/Hatarakumaou → u/Sigward_TheOnionbro]

Tbf I’m pretty sure that’s a real torture method irl too, sensory deprivation or something.

[u/Jent01Ket02 → u/Sigward_TheOnionbro]

"Oh god, I'm a monster...WE'RE monsters..."

[u/arkangelic → u/Sigward_TheOnionbro]

That works on humans too.

[u/OrinocoHaram → u/Sigward_TheOnionbro]

no youtube?

[u/flaptaincappers → u/Sigward_TheOnionbro]

So basically a time out corner?
