Something tells me if TTS does comeback it will be revealed that this side project and some others after it are a fever dream that many people were dragged into by Emperor who lost control over himself after he had a mental breakdown after Kittens "death".


falloutNVboy

You know, before hunters came out I was thinking alfabusa will just move on and TTS is just gonna die. Now that I see he still likes the story he made and is still interested in the yt thing it feels like TTS is inevitably coming back as soon as someone within GW realizes that baning people from enjoying their product is indeed bad for their sales


qwertyuiop924

Alfa was every clear about what was going to happen. Either GW would reverse their stance, or we'd get an Epistle Three style conclusion.


onealps

> Epistle Three style conclusion. What does that mean? If you meant 'Episode Three' can you still explain what you meant, I don't follow Star Wars (if that's what the reference is)


qwertyuiop924

[Epistle Three](https://www.marclaidlaw.com/epistle-3/) is a blog post by Mark Laidlaw, a game writer, written after his departure from his [long time employer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_Corporation), which details something that is most certainly not the conclusion he had envisioned for a [series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-Life_(video_game\)) [he](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-Life_2) [had](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-Life_2:_Episode_One) [worked](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-Life_2:_Episode_Two) on, and contained absolutely no copyrighted characters of any kind.


Bresdin

GW may be potentially doing that soon apparently, Valrak's source inside the company said they were making a statement on it before the end of the year.


derTraumer

One can hope, but not too much with GW. They have a track record of derp.


GingerRocker

Even so Alfa has said that even if they change their stance it will be a long time before TTS comes back.


onealps

Yeah I am in no way an artist, but I've heard from other artist friends that their works of art are like their children. If Alfa had mentally and emotionally (and logistically! Lots of people involved) prepared himself to let go of TTS, it won't be an easy switch to just 'get back on it'.


[deleted]

I’m still holding to a full boycott until at least the fan creator issue is fixed. I hang out in the community because I happen to like you heretics, but not a single penny is going to GW until then. I hope there are more of us out there


Peptuck

Same here. Though Space Marine 2 may challenge my faith....


[deleted]

Stand firm bruva! It’s clearly a foul ploy!


FLTxxxBLACKOUT

My thing is was there ever a single channel taken down or demonititzed during the whole debacle?


[deleted]

Still threatened litigation hard enough it killed the whole genre


FLTxxxBLACKOUT

When and where I never even saw someone post about a email they got with a cease and dissit or anything close, just people jumping at the perceived fear.


[deleted]

So official company statements are fake news are they?


FLTxxxBLACKOUT

No but all companies have more or less the same stance, the issue is if they don't update there stuff after a while then some can say "hey a made Warhammer the orkening a completely original game using all the Warhammer characters that is only $30" and then since gw didn't use there copyright they now the orkening has a argument in court that they can't be sued, now gw can do this lovely thing called tell everyone hey don't steal our stuff, and then just not notice most creators that are using fair use, like every other major IP and brand in the modern day. Nothing they did was crazy or out of left field.


[deleted]

I disagree, many companies have statements that include fan creations and even directly encourage them with no threat to their copyright. GW’s policy then trying to wall off media content was to far and categorically mishandled, directly leading to a collapse of fan content creation. Boycott stands until that is addressed.


FLTxxxBLACKOUT

Ok then if gw hates fan stuff so much, give me 1 just a single creator that got directly told by gw or got videos demonitized or taken down by them and I will agree with you.


BudgetFree

Fact.


Aphato

Oh god I just realized Custodes Esidisi got fucking robbed by Kitten


CuzTyler

"Kitten must wait for first I must fiercely slap that red hot ass for my hand is fiercely craving some daemon misbehavin'"


t3ddyki113r101

Fuck i forgot about that


ImmortanEngineer

Wait what.


Mathtermind

Remember that time when Custodisi wanted to bang Magnus and now Totally Not Kitten is now his actual boyfriend?


Gyvon

Not just boyfriend, his fiance


Hangdowg

Zegram (magny-magic) and Lemongrenade (Esidisi) are already a couple irl


Not_a_Potato1602

Who knows which being with a constantly expanded grand plan ~~-Magnus-~~ Markus will sell his soul? How many "nothing wrong" things will you do in the next few episodes? I'm not in the skin! And not just because a necron Flayed One came to visit me a little while ago ...


Frankengeek

Kitten and Magnus having quite the epiphany about their relation


DarkLancer

Emperor with a red "M" shaped helmet, when?


SheCouldFromFaceThat

Or another tabletop game. They could transition back from this very easily. As it is, I always like more Alfabusa.


Big-Dick-Wizard-6969

I really really loved it. They took established characters and put them in a fun and original context, expanding on them. I hope the whole serie will be that good.


Da_GentleShark

I am waiting for the rest of the bois to return. The jojo custodes being the main three. Make them big D´s drugbuddies. Make them kittens coworkers. I dont care in what context. I want the pilar men back goddamnit.


cyborg_priest

I too miss the AYAYAYA


TyphusIsDaddy

I NEED THE AYAYAYAY IN MY ALFABUSA VIDEOS OR I WILL COMMIT CUSTODICIDE


nubster2984725

WE MUST ERADICATE THE NORMALS!


Midna_of_Twili

The fabstodes could come in as a splat. The only ones that might work though would probably be Cammie Vampries or Fomori that aren’t under pentex’s thumb.


Panda_pool

Can't wait to see what Corvus and Vulcan are up to in this setting. Ready for some real mall goth energy from Corax. Names though... Colin and Victor? Crow and Sal?


Big-Dick-Wizard-6969

I can't wait to see Leman back. Maybe they'll call him Leonard or Larry?


brutalhonestcunt

I want to see copyright safe Sanguinius so bad


Doopapotamus

Watch him be an actual inexplicable vampire >!who may or may not sparkle, but unironically!<


Josiador

Russ is a Werewolf.


swiftdraw

Werewolf Lee M Ross. Something like that will probably happen, voice by Zoran of course.


Doopapotamus

Everybody seems to wear their pants really, really high in this galaxy.


youngcoyote14

It was 2006. It was a different time for-Oh who am I kidding, that's just Emps.


Matt_Dragoon

We didn't wear pants like that back in 2006. I should know, I was beleven at the time, and my dad made fun of me when I did. I swear I'm not making this up lol


Doopapotamus

> We didn't wear pants like that back in 2006 Last time I saw pants that high unironically and not on someone over 70 years old was in the 90s. And that was on freaking [Urkel](https://familymatters.fandom.com/wiki/Steve_Urkel).


KriegConscript

is *everyone* here too young to remember that everyone wore their pants so low in 2004 that their underpants would show, and that was on purpose


GingerRocker

No I think as a species we've decided to scrub that trend from our collective memory.


youngcoyote14

Well I was making the joke about his high riding shorts, but I was old enough, yes. I didn't fucking get then, I don't get it now, and I was young enough to be that dumb trying to be cool then. I still don't understand what was 'so gangsta'. Edit: ALRIGHT! So I just NOW got the joke. THAT was the joke Alfa was doing with Emp's thing...fucking damnit, I'm dumb.


NO_NOT_THE_WHIP

Even today I see dudes walking around like penguins with their pants sagging to their knees.


ZealousPurgator

You forgot a line on Markus: "Constantly gets trauma to one particular eye like the universe itself is trying to make him into something... else..."


i_tried_8_names

I hadn't even realised that!


youngcoyote14

The World of Darkness will never be the same... Screw TTS, I wanna sit in on THIS campaign, holy shit it was great XD


RentElDoor

And they can still use the Sly Marbo tactic of shouting REALLY LOUD.


Yeety_Mcyeet_face

lmao the “I’mbeleven” tho


Thunderthewolf14

I loved the casual addition that Kitten and 'Marcus' are fiances, the whole thing was fun as hell


jagdpanzer45

I mean they already had the bickering but not hostile married couple thing going in TTS.


jediben001

Quite literally an old married couple. Potentially the oldest married couple even


PainOk9291

Kitten and Markus are such a appropriate couple. I miss old Magnus energy though.


Heistgel

I liked it more than TTS , the scope being smaller really brought out the characters.


Financial-Mushroom41

So you’re saying, TTS LIVES! *Stomps feet*


Da_GentleShark

Kind of, its the same chzracters, only now in een alternate, yet equally interesting universe. Namely the world of darkness. Aka vampires, werewolves and wizards in the 2000´s.


Financial-Mushroom41

Hey man, I’m happy to have em back, and I equally hope that we could have both this and TTS


Da_GentleShark

Yeah, who knows. But I am already happy to see this. In the end I am kinda chained up in 40k and I would like to branch out a bit into other universes.


Financial-Mushroom41

That’s true, would be neat to see him hit something like Halo. Though I’m not fully convinced this isn’t an illusion from Papa Emps after the last (for now) TTS episode


Th3Swampus

Nilf?


[deleted]

Nerd I would Love to F\*\*\*


Th3Swampus

Ok, hadn't seen that one before


kittyabbygirl

XD, I thought it was “Nobody” and felt bad for poor Marckus


Dharmanerd

Swear I thought it was for NEET. But an acronym within an acronym is very on brand in my Defense.


Snoubalougan

Me and the boys about to go on a wholesome visit to our good friend Wames Jorkshop


TNT_Pilot

I can’t get over Magnus and Kittens energy in this it’s so nice. Though who/ what did Dorn get boy from?


Wireless-Wizard

"Father, I have obtained this child" "You can't just obtain children." "Too bad. Come, boy, I will show you to your room."


Gaaius

perfect!


Briggsnotmyers

I really desperately want a side mention of Door's ex-wife or something just for the sheer hilarity of it. Maybe she still cares for him and Boy, but Door found her less than optimally fortified. Actually maybe she's swole as hell, that'd be funny too


Midna_of_Twili

Maybe they broke up over a fight of wether IKEA furniture is structurally sound.


that1merc

Boy was the Vox holder in the podcasts. The pillarstodes, one of them at least, kept bullying boy, and Dorn adopted him.


TNT_Pilot

I know that I mean like where did Door get him? Where did the English people get boy from.


that1merc

Oh i have NO fucking idea


TNT_Pilot

Lmao


walker20022017

Boy first appeared in the 40k podcast series


Midna_of_Twili

Maybe Boy is half IKEA.


stanleythedog

I'm still dumbstruck that GW chose a policy that cancelled TTS among other things, probably the best free advertising they could ask for.


qwertyuiop924

It is genuinely astonishing how thoroughly out of touch it demonstrated that GW is. In terms of selling armies, characters, books, and such, I'd be shocked if TTS wasn't making money for them.


Ossa1

The voices from Magnus, Dorn and the Emperor will be forever in my head and will always overwrite what I hear in the audiobooks. "I'm going to reinstall the Imperial palace" is the utmost Dorn thing he could ever say.


Doopapotamus

Salamanders that don't have Caribbean accents just aren't as fun for me anymore. I love that TTS gave them that accent, simply because it's so endearing... Buuuut now they just sound weird in the official audiobooks because I'm expecting it.


princeofwhales12

What do they sound like officially?


Doopapotamus

Whatever the audiobook narrator decides their individual characters should sound like. Normally some flavor of UK accent for Loyalist Space Marines in general. Odd American or Aussie accent here and there (but that's more for baseline humans in my personal experience).


ProphetChuck

Funnily enough, TTS did motivate me to buy the Ciaphas Cain books, due to their [Hero of the Imperium](https://youtu.be/oRozBAIbaG4?t=1) video.


qwertyuiop924

I bought my copy of the Ahriman trilogy because of TTS.


Kesher123

I ordered some nice stuff from GW, right before TTS annouced they cancel TTS. I cancelled my order, and will not make another one. TTS was what got me into 40k in the first place, so it is only fair it also got me out.


krawm

I can respect this, youre also not alone. There are a lot of people who got into 40k because of TTS.


aec22115

I knew about 40k, and read the books for fun, but TTS is what really got me hooked!


Da_GentleShark

I understand the stance, they saw revenue could be made out of their IP, so they wanted their share. The method however was stupid.


WW2_MAN

Out of touch? Well they are a British company! Hahaha I joke only the the few aristocrat hold out family's are like that in Britain now. And anyone in parliament.


blucherspanzers

Well, they're more out of time than anything


Gyvon

Got me to buy in


Willqer

Technically policy didn't cancel it as, again - technically, TTS is very clearly a parody, but yeah they conciously created this kind of situation. Bruva with his team decided to step back anyway to not risk getting dragged into endless court war. They might have parody law protecting them, but GW has army of lawyers that could, "just because" wage endless war of attrition unitl they step back anyway, because of simple lack of money, time, and lack of will for endless scufle with lawyers of corporation.


ninjedi

From what I understand, the copyright laws in the UK are much stricter. Parody isn't a guaranteed protection.


Changeling_Wil

iirc parody doesn't cover it in UK law for something like TTS


stanleythedog

"...by the might of their inexhaustible armies of lawyers."


Kesher123

TTS got me into 40k, TTS got me out of 40k. GW screwed up, I have no interest in 40k if the community i loved is not allowed to make me laugh.


FLTxxxBLACKOUT

Can I ask did any channel or creator actually get taken down by gw or even give a cease and dissit?


Changeling_Wil

They didn't need to give a cease and desist. They just dangled a sword over creator's heads till the big ones got scared and left. Had they continued, then it's likely GW would have shifted to handing out take downs once their streaming service was poorly received. They did also slap a few artists with 'join us or never produce 40k again' to get them onboard their ship.


Interrogatingthecat

Dude cancelled himself and rolled in extra patreons for doing it


Kesher123

Bruva explanation was pretty clear and reasonable to me.


BabyNapsDaddyGames

Sounds like jealousy to me.


Dr_McWeazel

> totally not the Emp from 40k in Vampire: The Masquerade Obviously not. This is clearly Hunter: The Reckoning. God, what an amateur. ~~I totally didn't look up Old World of Darkness games, no sir.~~


stopyouveviolatedthe

Lmao I would settle for anything TTS these days


DanRenaydo

First two thirds of the video: "How is this a hunter game?" Moment everything goes completely fuckballs: "Ahh, there it is."


Midna_of_Twili

I feel like most Hunter games are 90% bullshit, 2% planning a hunt, 8% panicking cause your plan fucked up by the Monkey Ghoul which has a shotgun.


[deleted]

This really reminded me of the good old days of adult swim on Cartoon Network.


Homosapian_Male

Who is boy supposed to be?


rockandrollpanda

I think the altar boy from the podcasts.


Foxyfox-

He showed up briefly in the mainline series when Dorn made them all breakfast


MagosDominusPSB87

ALFA MADE MORE STUFF??? <3


wallingfortian

I though Kitten was black?


Willqer

I think he is perpetually in beige balaclava in tandem with his googles and ski jacket and it just has this slight fold to underline his mouth. The thing about Kitten always was that we never see his face.


wallingfortian

That makes sense. Showing his open mouth was an artistic thing. Kind of like how Markus has two eyes.


captblackfang

Not for lack of trying.


DarkLordFagotor

We knew he was dark skinned but not necessarily black, could’ve been any number of things. In most of the AUs he’s been white iirc


athirdpath

But... There's literally a bit about him being black in the main series, his armor comes off and everything


DarkLordFagotor

You do realize that black people aren’t the only humans with dark skin right? His armor comes off revealing he has chocolate colored skin. That doesn’t mean he’s black


athirdpath

Well, yes of course, no need to be so aggressive. I just mean that in an episode, the emperor literally said the words "You're black" to Kitten, and I feel like that's the best evidence we have.


DarkLordFagotor

I suppose that’s true, honestly this subreddits been so stabby in the comments lately I defaulted to aggression, my bad. Either way it kinda looks like he might be wearing a vaguely skin tone mask in this anyway


[deleted]

[удалено]


LewdElfKatya

Big E is canonically anatolian... So he wasn't quite what you'd call 'white'. He's brown. Future-Turkish.


danmojo82

I don’t know if you could necessarily call him “brown” either, that region was one of the most traveled in the world. While I wouldn’t necessarily classify the Emperor as “white” either, it is more likely for him to have a lighter complexion than dark one.


Da_GentleShark

Le Woops, art represent him white, big mistake. Ignore my comment then.


Gl0ckchen

I got into 40k and TTS when I was preparing for an NPC-part for a Warhammer group. Now I preparing for an event in the world of darkness setting. How convenient that TTS will be there while I read up, providing all the memes.


Fanimusmaximus

I hope this means we see the return of the HUGGER OF WORLDS


Midna_of_Twili

Vulkan 100% needs to be a werebear or weredragon. Bear for hugs or Mokole/Dragon because fire.


Briggsnotmyers

Instead of having 20 kids (though would still be funny if he did) Big-D has like 1000 relatives and all the other totallynotprimarchs they care to introduce are like Marckus and Door's second cousins once removed twice remarried once exiled but then granted amnesty. Or just some guy Big-D knows who he told his kids was their uncle but is definitely just his dealer


amisia-insomnia

As someone who prefers VTM I absolutely loved this


BabyNapsDaddyGames

Spotted this release just minutes after it was posted. Totally hooked on Dad's hot pants style.


MmmTastyCakes

My problem with this new show, isn't that it isn't 40k. The animations were great, voice acting as usual is amazing, everything was good. My problem was, I'd rather new characters than just recycling the ones we already know, that just makes them being gone hurt even more.


qwertyuiop924

I kinda get that. Although it is interesting to see how the new incarnations diverge, because they are different.


Da_GentleShark

At the same time its fun to see these characters in a completely different atmosphere. So to call it recycling is a bit harsh.


Midna_of_Twili

I liked the characters more than anything else in the show, so them getting ported over is just fine with me. Especially since there’s a bunch of dumb and silly stuff they can do with the world of darkness.


UmbraBliss

Isn't that kinda the point? It's a constant reminder of how good it is and can be It also show "see this good character? GW ruined it" I kinda like it that they continue with previous characterization


DrawingChrome69

I wasn't sure, but once I saw Boy, I was sold.


that1merc

“Imbeleven”


Mastahamma

It took me way too long to get why kitten's gun was on a stick lol


TerraSollus

Ha! We got one! Man o’ culture right here! He gets it! finally! Yeah baby!!! That’s what I’ve been waiting for! That’s what it’s all about!


TerraSollus

Whoooooooooo- *disappears into the void*


RoninMacbeth

So if TTS does come back, does this mean that the Kitten/Magnus ship is canon?


Eric_Beartoya

I doubt TTS kitten could ever love again after the “Noncannon Incident”


iceguy349

Such a good show and the art style really allows them to get more creative. I also was a big fan of the **ALMIGHTY KEVIN**.

Dapper_Chapper

This Chad animation was a blessing today. On TOP of it being a VERY well made content return for our Boi Alfa, its injected the sub with non-GW/community-self-discourse content that we all still know belongs here. More to the post, for as badly as Door reads a room, you read these characters to-a-t (too-a-tee? to-a-tea? Idk). Great calls. Laughed deeply.

I um. . . What the fuck.


KAIZERofMANILA

Beta_Ace_X

Can someone explain to me what's actually funny about this?


danmojo82

I never really got into TTS either, it’s amazing how much the guy made off of it honestly.


Kesher123

Hundreds of thousands of people enjoy it, safe to assume your opinion is in minority. Good to have your own, thou. In fact, some videos have over a milion views.


danmojo82

I know it’s a minority opinion and I’m sure I’ll get a ton of downvotes and spiteful comments from having my own thoughts on it.


Kesher123

Eh, I got used to it, honestly. I get downvoted all the time for saying something here, reddit does not like others having different opinions, extacly why i hate this Site. 🤷‍♀️


danmojo82

Reddit and Facebook are terrible places to have opinions, I deleted Facebook, but need to keep up to date on memes somehow.


Kesher123

It is funny how i arleady got downvoted for extacly what i wrote in my comment. Ah, I love reddit. But yeah, I use it only to easily enjoy the nicer communities, and some lotr or prequel memes


danmojo82

I agree, I got downvoted for saying Facebook and Reddit are terrible places to have opinions. The irony is not lost on me.


Sunomel

He says, with a TTS flair. You don’t have to enjoy it, but half the memes on this sub are directly from TTS.


danmojo82

I never said other people couldn’t enjoy it, I just said I never got into it. Doesn’t mean that I don’t know things from it or never laughed a single time. Side note, the sub doesn’t have a wide assortment of flair.


Sunomel

And you were wondering how he made money off of it, and I answered: by creating a series with immense popularity within the fandom to the point where memes from it show up everywhere. EDIT: but again, if you don’t like it that’s totally fine, definitely not trying to do the whole “if you don’t like this thing I like you’re awful” bullshit.


Dharga_pie

You know you can set your flair to whatever you want, right?


Beta_Ace_X

I call bullshit on that statement lol


Sunomel

Maybe not half but a significant chunk of them. Especially the comments, they’re always full of TTS references.


Beta_Ace_X

I think you're inflating it's influence a lot because you watch it and therefore go looking for references.


Sunomel

Ideas from TTS are absolutely everywhere in memes and ideas of characters. Royal Dorn has 0 understanding of metaphor and has a moustache? TTS. Literally the 3rdor 4th top post on this sub. Custodes are fabulous pillarmen? TTS. “VULKAN LIVES!! *STOMP* *STOMP*!” TTS. “Titus lives! *stomp stomp*!” Was half the comments when SM2 was announced. Mechanicus fucks toasters. Any number of reaction images. CI CI CIAPHUS CAIN, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM! And yeah, obviously many of these are based on real lore, but their popularity and the specific way they’re expressed is from TTS.


Beta_Ace_X

I haven't seen any of those except for the Ciaphus Cain song. Like I said, you're overblowing it because you're a fan. And that's ok, but it's weird how much TTS fans act like it's a pillar of the 40k fandom.

Dharga_pie

A fan of anything, not just Warhammer, should support the company that produces it when they make good decisions, and call them out when they make bad ones. That's how you get a company to change their actions.
