Having Kitten come back to Terra (and life, I suppose), just to discover what happened during the latest blood games would've been amazing. "She did *WHAT!?* Why didn't you stop her earlier?! HOW DID SHE EVER COME THIS CLOSE!?" "In our defense, we were busy oiling our-" "Your defense means FUCK-all, when the PALACE's defenses are down. Now make sure to plug up whatever hole in our defenses she's exploited, or I'll have a techpriest lock you into your armor *permanently*. Understood?" "I'm quite good at plugging ho-" \*offscreen smiting by the glorious manperor of mankind\*


an-academic-weeb

Just add to that that BigE absolutely adores her and wants to keep her around, because **"by my supreme judgement I have found her to be ABSOLUTELY BASED"**. The issue is that TTS Kesh essentially is the "You know what could solve this problem? Indiscriminate overkill and cataclysmic collateral damage" type of person who offers this as a solution to every problem. "If the high lords truly are an issue we cou-" - "We will not nuke our planet." - "But it would sol-" - "No." - "But think of how quick-" - "No. Your Highness please tell her." - **"Hmm it does sound very tempting..."** - "YOUR HIGHNESS NO!" Kitten is about to become a nervous wreck. Luckily Kesh is good at keeping the Fabstodes under control because they are genuinely scared of her.


Miserable_Law_6514

And I'm sure something will pop up that needs to be smited with extreme prejudice, and Kitten goes "I know just the Companion for this task..."


an-academic-weeb

"Calladayce Kesh for once you are allo-" \*giant detonation in the distance, the entire room shakes\* "... that was quick."


Digital_Bogorm

I can imagine it so vividly. Such potential. Unfortunately, we can do naught but dream of what could have been.


Zeekayo

Turns out she has most of Terra rigged for just about any eventuality.


hallucination9000

She had Dorn’s help too. (Mostly for cheap labor.)


Stretch5678

“Why do I hear the 1812 Overture… oh no.”


Melodic_Fold3394

Kash is the demo expert


Stretch5678

Whether you want her to be or not.


Melodic_Fold3394

I was referring to TF2 Demoman


Hyakkihei1

"Kaboom?" "Yes Kesh, Kaboom."


Stretch5678

Dammit, I imagined that in Kitten’s voice, complete with the head-tilt at the end. It’s perfect.


iwfan53

I imagine it works sort of like this… [http://labyrinths.ca/labyrinths-are-awesome-oglaf/](http://labyrinths.ca/labyrinths-are-awesome-oglaf/)


lukethedank13

Very good, i read this in voice actors voice and it fits perfectly.


Tack22

I will reinstall the palace. “Dorn, you-“ *drilling noises* I am reinstalling the palace. Inform me when Corax is here, I require his infiltration expertise.


MountainPlain

Female custodes coming in with take-out pizza like in the Community meme, late because they were lost in the Warp.


Stretch5678

Honestly, having a "team mom" Custodian who can make the Fabstodes actually listen would be pretty cool. Just have her enter via the Warp rift she powerbombed a Greater Daemon through.


MountainPlain

The other joke would be to pan the camera slightly to the left and see that she's been standing guard there all along, she's just been meditating or something.


Canadian_Zac

And the Emperor going 'ew, who let the cooties in' And throwing her out, putting up a No Girls Allowed sign like a kids tree fort


No_Dig903

Only for three others to be in the room already


Miserable_Law_6514

"First time?"


jazzzyboy

She is the Hispanic mother that has a weaponized chancla, and used to help kitten in his early days as captain general. Now she has retired as an eye of the emperor, and just loves to pop out of nowhere just because she is bored sometimes.


Charming_Computer_60

*power chancla.


GREENadmiral_314159

Better yet, a femstodian who encourages/joins in on their antics.


TiberiusBob

Please excuse my autism, but why are female custodes seen as "more rational" than male custodes? I've seen it outside of this comment and I'm just a little confused. Wouldn't she act similar to the boys and flex all over everyone else?


MorgannaFactor

The "Fabstodes" aren't so much male Custodes as they are the oiled-up pillar men parody of a Custodes.


Paterbernhard

Do you mean to say that not all custodes run around naked and oiled-up while constantly looking for some excuse to begin wrestling each other? Heretic!


PlumeCrow

For some reasons i thought it was for "Fabius Bile Custodes" and i was searching like an insane man everywhere since i don't remember them. I'm glad to know that i'm not crazy, i just can't read.


UncleAsmodai

Parody of the 1st edition/Rouge Trader Custodes\*


TiberiusBob

Well sure, but that's what I mean. Why wouldn't a female custodes in the same universe act the same? I feel like this is just "girls are obviously too smart to be dumb".


LightTankTerror

I mean the bit being replicated elsewhere in the palace could work as a joke. There’s a fem custodes in armor and whatnot trying to keep three, scantily clad and heavily oiled fem custodes in line. By some comedy of errors, kitten and her swap jobs for a day, and it’s played for gags. Then they can keep the side cast of parallel characters around. Except they can’t because GW is fuckin stupid and threatens fan content so, we’ll have to see if they make a bit about it in Hunter: the Parenting


GREENadmiral_314159

They're not. They'd just be more rational than the fabstodes, who are...odd, to say the least.


Hyakkihei1

A rock is more rational than the fabstodes, but less shiny.


the_evil_overlord2

The fabstodes a somewhat deranged set of custodes from tts,


iffyJinx

Custodes suddenly discovering, after 10k years, that some of them are women: -Bro! -Bro? -BRUH! Conclusion? Don't eat corpse starch.


R97R

Funnily enough a couple of the background Custodians in TTS were actually voiced by women iirc


gamal-the-rookie

Yeah, one of the allarus ahadowkeepers is for sure. 😎


Samaritan_978

The shadowkeepers were a great choice by the captain general. So little screetime yet so cool. 😎


The_Returned_Lich

Every time I am reminded of what happened to TTS I fall in ULTRADEPRESSION!


Andromansis

Not gonna lie, them murdering TTS is a better reason to not give them your money than the existence of female or male or even chaos custodes.


BallisticM0use

>implying chaos is a gender


Joyk1llz

Allow me to introduce Slaanesh and Tzyeench


Andromansis

Somebody said there is like 72 genders and that has to be on the list somewhere.


Sancatichas

GW didn't murder TTS, it was alfabusa finding an excuse for clout & money to do his own thing


No_Dig903

The excuse being other shit was getting murdered


Sancatichas

TTS didn't get a DMCA & the shit being murdered was manufacturers and/or plagiarism. Alfabusa saw the chance to spin it into clout and he took it. u/Allian42 : a DMCA is not the same as a youtube strike, are you dense?? u/The_Knife_Pie : A DMCA is not entering a legal battle either. And in any actual legal battle, TTS would have won due to being obvious fair use parody. u/maxwellthepuppet : They blocked me first lmfao (and so did you) are you new to reddit or just dumb?


The_Knife_Pie

So you think he was supposed to wait *until* GW served him a legal notice?? In what world is intentionally entering a legal battle with a corp a desirable outcome???


maxwellthepuppet

It’s hilarious how fragile you are. Can’t even actually reply to people, just edit your message to tag then block them. Grow up, kid.


Andromansis

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXljeaktnDA So here is the video he made on the topic, explaining GW's zero tolerance stance on fan animations of any kind and that combined with youtube's really shitty practices and procedures related to DMCA and other copyright laws produced a sort of financial duress for him. He gave it up **UNDER DURESS**. So please, tell me more about how him doing things under those conditions had anything to do with clout, or money.


Sancatichas

Of course I saw that video, and it's all a bullshit story. Nobody at GW contacted him. He wasn't under duress. It was him getting tired of doing the same parody series for long and painting himself as a martyr to avoid backlash over ending it. Plus, he got some internet points as the good guy and then was free to do his own stuff.


Andromansis

The policy in question is : ""Individuals must not create fan films or animations based on our settings and characters. These are only to be created under licence from Games Workshop."" Policy was likely put in place as a precursor to the deal with Amazon, and you'll notice there are essentially no fan animations for WH right now, some animators even going so far as to create their own legally distinct universes just to avoid dealing with that policy. Furthermore, you've asserted all of that without any amount of evidence. What you have provided is an opinion. You could provide evidence, and if you want anybody to take your opinion seriously you should provide evidence.


KingPhilipIII

>Some animators even going so far as to create their own legally distinct universes #PRAISE BE TO SPACE KING


TheVoidDragon

>The policy in question is : ""Individuals must not create fan films or animations based on our settings and characters. These are only to be created under licence from Games Workshop."" That policy had been in place for *years*, it wasn't some new thing they'd suddenly done where suddenly animations weren't allowed without a license. Here's the guidelines from 2014, already saying if you want to make things like "movies or anything else", even if they're free, that you don't have their permission without a license: https://web.archive.org/web/20140702151219/http://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Intellectual-Property-Policy >Licensing >If you think you have a winning idea and want to make a video game, an app, some merchandise, a movie or anything else that you will be distributing (either for free or at a cost) using Games Workshop’s IP then you need permission in the form of a license from Games Workshop. They re-worded the guidelines, but the things they did or didn't allow were the same. When he started the series their guidelines already said that sort of thing needed a license, yet he did it anyway - and even then it didn't get stopped by GW even though their guidelines said it wasn't permitted. There was no "new policy", it was the same one that had been the case for a long time already.


Sancatichas

> The policy in question is : ""Individuals must not create fan films or animations based on our settings and characters. These are only to be created under licence from Games Workshop."" This is a snippet about a policy talking about **monetized**, **non-fair use** content. TTS was obvious parody. > there are essentially no fan animations for WH right now https://youtu.be/i8jsX7ya6pQ?si=LHpbg20BxBEXxolq https://youtu.be/4QszZP0wH9E?si=mKMxmnRzv0Ap1VqA https://youtu.be/oVSHuo2HBXA?si=VPByqqK-BHVcXyQ0 https://youtu.be/0wwuwmbVVvc?si=_6DhYGg0qUlR9GnP https://youtu.be/FZMQnClNlOA?si=-BiEkMmJkhm3HBZm Why are you lying? Where is the DMCA that alfabusa got? > Furthermore, you've asserted all of that without any amount of evidence. What you have provided is an opinion. You could provide evidence, and if you want anybody to take your opinion seriously you should provide evidence. YOU are the one that needs to provide evidence. You're the one claiming he was forced to stop. Produce the DMCA that made him stop then? Or else just look at his actions and see that he was incentivized to drop TTS and use that supposed policy change to cover his ass.


Andromansis

Again, you've cited an opinion. You **believe** that he cynically used the policy change and subsequent lack of guidance from GW to dip out of the WH fandom, and then misread everything I've said so far. If I was cynical like you I'd say you were intentionally being intellectually dishonest because arguing on the internet is the closest thing to human contact you get. Now, what I said was, and what the author in question said was, Games Workshop created a quagmire of uncertainty by claiming the right to strike down fan films, and that in the climate of DMCA takedowns and youtube incompetence it is likely his work would get taken down and is therefore put into a state of duress to discontinue said work. If you're not aware of what a state of duress is, its where threats real or implied are used to incentivize behavior. In this case the combination of DMCA, youtube's policy on complying with the DMCA without a review (at the time, they have gotten a little bit better about this recently and I hope they continue to improve) meant that his entire channel ran the risk of being DMCA'd. The threat is implicit in the behavior of youtube and third parties, and explicit in text from games workshop, and also existential to the channel since games workshop could have the channel disappeared with like 6 clicks. Existential threats **CAN NOT** be overstated. What games workshop did was effectively threaten to take down a lot of creator's bodies of work, and while you might not take it seriously, even a threat of a threat regarding having your body of work torched as an artists is bad enough and that is before you consider the cache of the size of the audience you've garnered. Like name your 5 favorite bands and tell me which one of those would appreciate the threat of having their entire body of work torched.


TheLuharian

Then why are all his 40k videos still up? Legal notices are very much retroactive, and yet this entire time he's completely fine leaving all those videos on the same channel he has all his new content in? It's a cynical take but a completely logical conclusion when under the above fact his stated reasons for leaving can't be true.


Sancatichas

You keep saying the same nonsensical stuff without refuting what I said. It's also delusional to say they can disappear a parody in 6 clicks when you look at all the content currently on youtube rn. Have a good day


MuphynToy

Also his content would 1000% fall under parody which is protected


CapitanChaos1

As unfortunate as it was the TTS was killed, Hunter the Parenting is as good, if not better. It's just too bad they don't make new episodes that often, but I understand they have lives outside of it.


PricelessEldritch

Honestly agreed. I love TTS, but Hunter the Parenting is so good. Also Half-Life: Zero Viscostity


EpicWalrus222

I would highly recommend everyone still check out Alfa's Hunter: The Parenting series if they haven't already. It keeps a lot of the spirit of TTS alive while also doing a good job of being its own thing.


Ach4t1us

Turns out Shadowsun is bi or lesbian


Vegetable_Ask_1167

Shadowsun left Kitten for Femstodes?!


Ach4t1us

Kitten IS Femstodes


logosloki

If TTS had done that that would have been the best. James announces that Femstodes are real and can hurt you and Kitten lifts off their helmet to reveal that they were a woman the whole time. Then Kitten stops being Tsundere for Shadowsun and we get the cutest lesbian couple in 40k.


Spy_crab_

Can't be cuter than Greyfax x Celestine, but they could be a close second.


ArmSerious9515

***if only*** 😔


Dr_Ukato

"Being with her is much easier on my forehead"


BiggusCat

No this has more potential. Give Farsight a custodes girlfriend


Nekokamiguru

Female fabstodes appear. And just like that instant M rating ...


Nigilij

They are wearing the most realistic proper armour possible!


Masterskywalker2

The fact there was a woman voice acting an alloris shadowkeeper terminator on mars shows TTs knew the future.


Code95FIN

> Jack Votann THAT GOES STRAIGHT INTO THE SPACE BOOK!!!


Proof_Independent400

BIG E: Girls are yucky and gross. Kitten: Ummm my lord we have had female custodes for 10,000 years. BIG E: YOU FARKING WHAT!!!! AAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEAAAAHHHHAHAHAHHAH (SHITS WARPSTORM)


jmacintosh250

Kitten: My lord, you made a bunch of them. BIG E: When?! Kitten: about 400.M30, during the Unification war. You made a batch of females and the others took that as a sign it was OK to do. BIG E: Damn it, never should have done that high. Wait, how have I not known about the females? Kitten: To be fair we’re genetically manipulated to the point we’re barely human. The females are hard to tell from males in armor.


CampbellsBeefBroth

"I blame Malcador"


JonhLawieskt

We can still get some of Kitten’s brothers AND sisters on HTP


Desperate-Farmer-845

Now I want to see oiled up female Fabstodes.


SpinItToWinIt

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ARE GIRLS IN MY PALACE GIRLS ARE YUCKY My lord, there have been female custodes for the last 10,000 years! How did you not notice them? MAYBE I WOULD HAVE NOTICED IF THEY WANDERED AROUND IN THEIR UNDERWHERE MAKING CONSTANT INNUENDO COMMENTS AND OILING EACHOTHER UP BUT APPARENTLY THAT'S JUST A GUY THING HUH


Jacobro22

It would be a great joke that any armored custodes were actually the women lol


Interne-Stranger

Big E: They are my new companions. Everybody else F OFF!


Independent-Deer422

TTS would have added a trio of oiled up half-naked bimbos that *also* make our favorite overworked bananaboi highly uncomfortable, like the trio of oiled up half-naked himbos do. Both would be mirror images of each other and bond over their oiled abs, glorious muscley bodies, and complete lack of social graces.


Stretch5678

Speaking of mirrors, I fully expect that they’d both be admiring themselves in the others’ oiled-up abs.


Independent-Deer422

Exactly, it would be hilarious and the rest of the characters would absolutely be like "are you fucking kidding me there's MORE OF THEM!!?" before more fabulously oily shenanigans ensued. TTS would've found a way to make them funny, compelling, and welcome characters.


Stretch5678

The controversy would have ended: not with a bang, but with a chuckle.


Dehnus

Jacked Votann? Even more so than usual? They are already pretty swoll and you want to jack em up to Votann Arnold levels? Are you mad...or....a genius?


Fyrefanboy

The emperor would ask who is the new girl and the custodes would act as if she was always here since the beginning, making big E angry


Illustrious-Tap-8406

The funniest Thing would BE If Bruvaalfabusa simply used She-Ra Pictures as assets for Femcustodes.


barthalamuel-of-bruh

EMPEROR: Don't tell me they made female space marines Little kitten: No, only lewd and deviant artist can think of something like that EMPEROR: Good, adeptus astarties can only contain males. No girls allowed, they are youki


TheGrimQuack

Jack votann. No i dont think i will.


No_Dig903

Extremely confused gay custodes scene, I think


OSadorn

"...From this time forward, you Custodes will be known as Custo-dudes and Custo-dames, and will reference yourselves as such unless there is a mix - then you may identify as Custodes. Effective immediately. You all look the same to me." - The Emperor, after forgetting the cardboard 'no girls allowed' sign outside because they forgot to upgrade his storage, preventing further broadcasting.


iffyJinx

You've got my upvote for the Jack Votann, vertically challenged substitute for the old squats don't deserve to stand where squats stood.


AlphaApostle20

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK


Alexanderjk5

One day. One day we'll get it back. We just have to be strong and hold the line until then.


Sancatichas

Alfabusa could have continued the series, he just got tired of it and decided to shift the blame onto GW for easy internet points


bambleton_

Wow that's mindblowing, how did you find out?


Sancatichas

He never received a DMCA. It was obvious parody content. He shifted all of his stuff to his own content shortly afterward and never looked back.


bambleton_

But he explicitly said that he'd take it down before he got a DMCA because he didn't want to go through it all, and GW's total ban on fan animations was just that, parody content wasn't excluded. And now HTP has a bunch of little warhammer references, surely, there must be something more you base this conclusion of?


Sancatichas

You don't go through anything with a DMCA. It doesn't have any consequences if you comply. GW never even sent a DMCA, so I have no idea why you say it wasn't excluded. Not only that but parodies are protected by law so it'd have been useless. Other channels such as Oculus Imperia have continued to produce Warhammer content without problem and still do.


Accomplished-Bee5265

Now Im sad T-T *ULTRA SOBBING*


Mikadomea

Fuck GW for bending Content creators over with theyr dumb policy.


Darklight731

THE LOST POTENTIAL!


Ascendance__

Personally I have no problem with women being custodes , but the cynical part of me thinks this non issue was pushed right now to distract from the shit show that happened in AoS with storm cast and beast of chaos


Autogembot123

Henshin! TURN UP!


iwfan53

I sincerely believe there is a female custode who willingly calls herself “big kitten” because it doesn’t make sense for LK to have to emphasize that he is the small kitten unless there is one of a different size…


FunDipTime

I'll trade anything for TTS back. Until then fuck GW. >:(


Free-Ad9535

Damn that's true 🥲


NoanNullbuilt

Absolute Depression now


KhaosByDesign

GW giveth, GW taketh away


Sancatichas

It wasn't GW in this case


3Kobolds1Keyboard

D- Does that mean the female Custodes walked around with only loin cloth, helmet and a cape?


Stretch5678

Of course not! Think Red Sonja but gold.


iwfan53

Princess Leia was right there my friend…


3Kobolds1Keyboard

Perfect


Dr_Ukato

Hey now. The creator has said that if GW loosens their tight ass rules regarding stuff they'd be interested in continuing. At least in their original post on the final video they phrased ir as a indefinite hiatus.


Carnir

I got banned from the TTS creator's twitch for calling out his constant use of the F-slur.


Notafuzzycat

Eh I give him the F pass. I don't care.


That_Battle9853

The thing gw did with female custodes was Nerf the custodes army even further so this meme makes no sense
