Boy's mom will be in the chapter, also the 5.1 crew
Not watching the premiere, sex with Grimal
>>151785632Sounds Scottish. Chances of it being a Fianna?
I want those Kevin socks
>New episodeFUCK yes
Wait his name was Fred Fuchs?
>FilmCow worked on the episodeI'm surprised he's still doing stuff and not living off of Charlie the Unicorn forever
>>151785567oh shit a fomori, damn. I wonder who he wanted to partake in the gift. Was it the crazy solider lady?Also god I'm retarded and all i can think of is
weak episode desu but its hard to follow up the last audiolog
Well, I think we know who the Patriarch hamstrung by Luna will be
>>151786494>he thinks someone can live off YouTube ad revenue in this day and age
>>151786494Apart from animation he also does some really good radio drama kinda thing
>Do or Die are the final words of the episode>Door DieYeah door's dead meat
>>151786840Boy will save him. Trust the plan
>no new loreDamn
>>151786612I doubt it, "hamstrung" means crippled in the legs.If anything pic related is what will Do or Die, which means Boy is getting some O'Brien levels of trauma upon trauma upon trauma
>>151786840>Door is one of my favoritesFuck...
>>151787087Honestly I don't know if the show could handle his departure. His extremely dry wit is something no one else shares.
>>151786885My dude, the lore was there just not served up for easy consumption.
>>151787095If we assume Horse's prophecies actually come through and not in an erm technically sort of way where the main characters come out mostly fine, it's probably going to be the very end of the show in its entirety.Because in addition to that Horse mentioned the apocalypse and you can't really keep the show going when THAT happens
>>151785567Yooooo
That Fomori seemed pretty easy to take out right?I mean I know a shot to the head from a revolver will take out most but with them being enemies of garou I'd think they'd hold up better
>>151787475There's very few fomori which could hope to take on a werewolf in one-on-one combat.
This is all just a huge death flag for Door isn't it?
Normally I like stories of fathers struggling while trying to connect to/teach their sons, something about this just missed though. Hard to pin what.
>>151787697It's because he doesn't' talk to boy about horse
>>151787095Honestly looking at it that could very well be the pointDoor himself says Ad Verbatim>"Something will go wrong unless I am present"And we know for a fact that things went to shit at the Chapter HouseWe know he has Military and EOD experience, and on top of that he was able to take down the strongest vampire in the Sabbat gang singlehandedly after getting his blood sucked and launched to a stone ceiling, so we can probably assume he's the most practically capable hunter in the family, next to maybe Kitten.Not enough to take down Mathilda by any means, but he definitely could have done something to mitigate the entire situation. Hell, I'd argue that he has what it takes to at the very least resist the Delirium like we saw from Remold. Not to mention the bus turrets.Not only that, but he also seems to have a surprising amount of emotional awareness compared to the rest of the family, not just taking Boy's well being into account, but acting as a mediating force between Marckus and D, which we saw only sour before Marckus got kidnapped.I love Door to death, but I think the fact he's so reliable within the story means that him dying would be a massive turning point for the family from a narrative perspective, forcing them to adapt and grow.
>>151787475Given what Francis was saying, I don't think the Fomor had fully taken hold and was still in the process of taking over his body. Door kill the last human part before the ritual was done, and the fomor had nothing left to hold onto.
>>151787767Door also basically prevented a Magnus the Red scenario and talked with Markus about his feelings, which led to him accepting Big D's decision
Just THINK of how many times Boy and Door have eaten those burgers beforeJust IMAGINE the taint they already hold.Either way, it appears poor Francis was in the process of failing the test. Too much evidence left behind. If anything Boy and Door did Pentex a favour by burning down their mistake. Oh well, they can always build another OTs, the town will need the jobs as part of any economic revival schemes. And now to wait another 3 months for the next episode...
>>151787697Well, Door connecting to Boy is exactly what isn't happening here.No one is hearing Boy out when it comes to Horse (regardless of if they believe him) and Door spent the entire episode stuck in his own mind, rigidly choosing a direction and not really addressing Boy's concerns.Which in his defense may be the most common mistake for parents to make, but still.>>151787767I don't think Door would change much once the werewolf went full mask off or even after Fatigue died, but he definitely WOULD have been able to prevent the chaos that took place right before Fatigue got fucking shredded.If nothing else, he would be much more assertive than Kitten at enforcing the idea of "don't split up"Which I would imagine is exactly why Door was excluded from this arc, he's like a lightning rod for people being morons and you can't have a closed-door-murder mystery without some very poor decisions.
>>151788001Nah, they're built different
>>151787475Most Fomori are shitters and the vast majority cannot hope to match a Garou in a direct fight.
>>151788072Boy is maybe, given Horse actively speaks to him. But Door might be fucked.
>Great-Grandpa-D saw George Washington back in 1776Hm... I am beginning to subscribe to mummy theory. A particular group of them can have children and those kids can be apt to become mages...
>>151788006>I don't think Door would change much once the werewolf went full mask off or even after Fatigue died, but he definitely WOULD have been able to prevent the chaos that took place right before Fatigue got fucking shredded.That was moreso what I meant, less just the werewolf situation and more the entire debacle. But that's just the thing; Door is a fantastic stabilizing force, too fantastic for a story all about insurmountable conflict to allow to stick around for long.
>>151785567EVIL BURGER!
>>151786840>>151787087>you now remember TTS rogal dorn dying to stop the emperor from blowing up terra was the very last scene the public saw before the series got shelvedsince the characters of HTP are HEAVILY based on what we saw in TTS, Door having death flags was the first thing on my mind since episode 1
>>151785567So Door's VA is from Ostermark. I see...
>>151788591>Product placementSo what the hell is MW?
>>151788373The Weaver, watching Door: "He's just like me fr!"
>>151788865MW is a reference to the design of the card backing of the Yu-Gi-Oh! monster cards by Anime by Toei.
Boy a CUTE
is it weird that I wanna eat mcdonald's now after watching that episode? I feel like the worm already has me by the balls lol
>>151788361D did say he was hunting vampire's with his father back in the 90's.I just think that the 90's meant literally 0090 AD.
>>151789459it's a good thing the Wyrm isn't real then! otherwise I'd be scared of going into the woods at night considering how everything near me seemingly decays and breaks faster than it does elsewhere
Honestly "It wasn't supposed to hurt." feels like it's the last coherent thought of whatever was left of the human that became Francis.
>>151789654Felt a little bad for him when I heard that, ngl. But only a little. Whatever he was, it's better that he's gone now.
>>151788865Taking a guess it’s Magic Wizard, I believe it’s an MtG style card game in universe. Marcus has it at his 13th birthday or something. They mentioned it in the first episode.
>>151789748Just looked by it was his 30th, my mistake.
>>151788865Everytime I see this guy's art I'm flabbergasted that he's gay.Just such an insane lust for the female form present in the level of detail in both those girl's tummies.
>>151789849I think he’s a barabro, and barabros are men’s men that know what men want but don’t want it themselves.
>>151789395He trying his best and he was right for wanting give weirdos and other supernatural entities the benefit of the doubt
>>151789934
>>151789995I mean the difference is boy is right
>>151790030Not this time though.
lovely
>>151790212He'll get it right eventually
>>151790235>Really is a worm wearing human skin>Face sloughing offCHRIST
So what was the grease stain from?
>>151790348The wyrm
>>151790348It's in the symbol of the wyrm
>>151790343
>>151789934>>151790030>>151790212Big D's interactions with Kevin and the Elderly Vampire do still show that some people are just victims dragged into these horrors.And then we have the Werewolves, who seriously need to stop being dicks.
>>151790568meant for>>151790348
Door can't die, he still has to play Gmod with Kitten and Markus!Would Door like Animal Crossing?
>>151790600Door is clearly more extreme in his view towards the supernatural. He is never much in the kill them all camp or at least from what we have seen. There is what happened to Anton and Marcus in the 80s, then there is something that may have happened to his wife. Now this is just something that is headcanon atm but Akira Cross showed something interesting that Akira has a twin brother. Now that could just be Boy making something up for the character but since Akira is his self insert OC it’s entirely possible that he has a brother and something happened to his mom and him.
>>151790789From the way the voices in Door's head were going it seemed like the wife is still alive and Boy chose to live with door to avenge his brother
>>151788006>>151787716>Door connecting to Boy is exactly what isn't happening here.Failure is an interesting way to struggle too. I don't know, it might be the delivery in the acting.
>>151791203I think it's the execution of the episode where Door is trying to teach boy to be skeptical about everyone and even boy brings up when they were skeptical about markus but they don't do anything when boy says horse talked and is being weird
>>151791259Not him, but right now I view that as a mix of multiple things. 1. D is hiding something about Horse and the others most likely don’t know.2. Horse is family so Door and Marcus does not wish to be suspicious of their brother. I mean they have known Horse their whole lives and speak very familiarly with him.
>>151790974You think she will show up? I wonder if she will be an OC or an expy.
Now this is Alfabusa thread, i always wondering this for a while, Do we have threads for TTS?, it's really odd that i don't see many discussion around it except maybe /tg/
>>151791522Used to, but no point unless they come back
>>151791417Yeah but boy also brings up how they basically water boarded markus because they thought he was a homonclus for being autistic about dragons
>>151791465I think she'll be a OC and will be heard and talked about but not seen
>>151791581I would contribute that to Marcus getting up to shit that he probably shouldn’t and being very experimental and at risk given what happened with him as a kid. With Horse it feels more like a known thing and D would be the one to push any impromptu torture sessions. D most likely knows what Horse is but with Marcus he doesn’t want to risk someone getting him.
>>151791522Since it went on indefinite hiatus its not really discussed outside of these threads and only then it is to lament its fate and compare characters as part of theories for how the story of HtP might go and how they may be adapted in it.
>>151791547Even if GW stops being retarded I feel like enough time has passed that they won't want to come back to TTS.
>>151791639Still I think not telling Boy what horse is or investigating it will make him more skepticalWith his sympathy for the supernatural and the way his family brushes off his questions to protect himIt's similar to how Markus is treatedWhich makes me realize D does that to him because he still sees Markus as a kid. Especially with his autistic fixations No wonder boy sees him as a figure to look up to as they both have a similar mindset
>>151791593Got plenty of material that she could potentially be.
>>151786370Exactly my thought
>>151790600And some of them are too far gone. The elder woman for example wanted to die. Mr Fuchs sounds happy, but how much of that is the worm talking?
>>151791681>Still I think not telling Boy what horse is or investigating it will make him more skepticalPart of that feels like a calculated move on D’s part since he probably wants him to form his own opinions and not openly tell Door how to raise his son while and his own difficulty in trusting his own sons with info. >Which makes me realize D does that to him because he still sees Markus as a kidYeah, I think it all stems back to the incident in 88. He lost one son and nearly lost another. He is afraid of losing Markus and most likely still views him as the boy that was nearly taken. >Which makes me realize D does that to him because he still sees Markus as a kidYeah it’s a sort of endless cycle, D coddles Markus and tries to parse what information he believes that he can be trusted with, Markus then grows dissatisfied as he is a grown man and wishes to be treated with respect so goes off on his own to show his father that he can handle things himself. But due to his lack of knowledge and experience due to being coddled he usually ends up messing up and subsequently needs to be saved by D or someone else which solidified in D’s mind that he is still very much a child. Both are unwilling to compromise in the situation so it just continues on and on. Hopefully when they get Markus back they can have a long talk and not the HtP version of the Council of Nikea.
>>151791742>tfw no panzerschrek wielding flemish hunter gf
>Door and Boy almost could have turned into these if they ate their meals
>>151789230>>151788865In the Yugioh manga Duel Monsters was called "Magic and Wizards" until it was changed for legal reasons. The first anime from Toei had the cards with a MW logo, which is what the shirt is referencing
>>151790343The horror of Pentex is basically a chaos cult focused on capitalism. Not only are they insidious but this fucker is a baseline boob.
>>151791932Strange that he wanted some random people off the street o take the gift as well
>>151792041Well the guy/girl he planned for had enough sense to reject him so he was probably desperate. A failure means punishment by the higher ups.
>>151790235So..., What the actual fuck is Francis on Canon WoD?, changelings?
>>151792288He's a fomoriHuman who fuses with a bane to become it's vessel in service to the wyrm
>>151790789So, kind of about a previous audiolog but do you think D screaming during Boy's story (at the massacre) was him just being weirdly too into it or was he reliving trauma and then deflected by pretending he was into the story ?
>>151792288Fomori. As he said earlier. Worm wearing human skin. That is likely the human bits left of him crying out before the fomor takes over.
>>151792307Probably reminded D of his own childhood
>See what kind of fucked-up shit corporations get up to in WoD>Blair threatening to employ you is a legitimate threat
>>151792352>check the wiki>other names>Nutritional Supplement Users >(By Pentex)
>>151792352Makes them even scarier when you realize that vampire and mages are employed by them as well and even have high positions in their organization
>>151789654It probably was. At least he's in a better place now (just kidding, his soul is being diddled by Banes as we speak).
>>151792288Fomori. So a Bane basically wearing a dude's skin to act in the mortal world.
>>151791522No point in talking about it since it's effectively dead thanks to GW being a bunch of knobheads. Plus it seems the team has little interest in returning since their WoD stuff is basically an evolution of that
Am I the only one who thought we'd get literally any development on Boy's paranormality? He sure as hell ain't a normal human. I'm pretty sure D knows or suspects it as well, given they even focused on the 'stronger than you know' comment.
>>151786513>Was it the crazy solider ladNo, it was the body dissolving. I'm not even sure he COULD corrupt that lady, she's like several steps higher on the Pentex ladder than some shitty ass Fomori.
>>151792821I was more looking forward to some bonding and character development between Door and Boy. This was more Door’s episode though as it showed how his mind works and what goes on in his head. Kind of like how Akira Cross showed how Boy thinks.
>>151792838Could be he tried. Fomori do try to push the boundaries of their allowances. And when he says he failed, that would be her stepping out with 36 burgers
>>151792850Door over examining his surroundings, analyzing everyone's actions and plotting out his next position gave me goddamn flashbacks. I was pretty fucking paranoid and hyper vigilant as kid in high school.
I like when the weirdo random monsters show up
Next chapter we'll be meeting the coalition members, any expectations?
>>151793579I feel like Remold’s daughter will show up.
>>151793223I think it fits pretty well. A mix of his hunter/soldier tendencies as well as maybe some ptsd. I noticed he measured everything in very simple means of red and green flags and then depending on the number and severity would decide what to do. It is blunt and simplistic.
What other kinds of monsters do you guys think we'll run into as the series goes on?
Hypothetical, what would happen if someone sold a bunch of m60s to werewolves?
>>151785567This chapter was so fucking good. But fucking HELL, was it basically nothing. I hope they come out faster.>>151786067>Door is a German>Door's Mom is ScottishScottish is more Glass/BSD territory than Fianna. Fianna is Ireland, and Boy and Door and definitely from America, so likely not Fianna. It'd be VERY fucked up if Door's Wife was BSD
>>151794408They are murder machines that can fuck up just about anything that comes their way, m60s would be a downgrade
>>151794408Nothing really. They can already get them if they wanted them. They do actually use guns and explosives when they need/want.
>>151787073>>151786612I doubt any of the cast will actually die, so we're likely getting red herrings for Door. I think what we're looking at here this early at least are some possibilities>Door dies and gets embraced by Kevin>Door or Boy have a first change (hamstrung can mean restrict)>Door's Wife comes back somehow I have an idea that she and Door had a falling out over Garou shit ngl >Ross or a Garou will kidnap D>D dies temporarily (Mummy confirmed)D is much more likely to be the Patriarch as he's the head of the family, as for my two cents.
>>151788373>>151791203If anything, Door being too stable, and therefore rigid, is what's enabling conflict by refusing to bend when he needs to to be able to better understand Boy or Markus. Markus seems to be a much bigger driving force of the story right now from what little is available, but Boy certainly has a lot of built up potential for it.>>151788727>Door Death Flags since pre-episode 1 due to the meta reasonsI think it would be too cheap and easy
>>151794356Umbra denizens are a shoo-in. They might be Wyrm aligned cause that's 1 episode, and 3 audio logs that revolve around the Werewolf splats. And we may see werecats? Fae is a possibility cause of Anton, but how big a role they'll play seems up in the air. But for sure we're going to spend at least one more episode with the werewolves if only to introduce Amanda's pack. If shuck's involved, they might just become HTP's C-plot
>>151794425But it would be really cool to see a werewolf in a large tank top and cargo pants shooting an m60
>>151794644This seems like fan-art or something unrelated, that said>Silver Fang stand-in looks smug as hell as a WolfAccurate.Anton is probably force converted into a changeling, and probably will end up a Red Cap . For the Werewolf subplot stuff and Matilda's pack, we know they have a Glass Walker and another Red Talon probably, or maybe he's just an Ahroun or else. I think Shuck is going to be a continuation of the B-plot with the Hunter Data and the Tremere Regent. I don't believe we'll meet Matilda's pack any time soon pre Markus (at least 5.5 or 5.6) and Episode 6. I don't expect Fae stuff until the next arc after the episode 7 conclusion, though somehow with how much effort is being made to make the Wolves seem like misguided good guys I don't think we'll have a Pyotr moment. Though in terms of story telling convention, this is actually a really good moment to have D take a personal loss. Likely Ross showing up and nabbing him I would think
>>151794425>>151794708Werewolves still get tired, you can't just go full furry all the time. They probably already have some anyway.
>>151794756This makes me happy
>>151794736>This seems like fan-art or something unrelatedIt's from one of their artist's twitter account. Could be just speculation, could be the real thing, we'll see.
>>151794736I think they'll be more heavily involved. (1) Matilda is a Red Talon kinda winging it cause she was found out, and (2) has to put up with Markus in the Umbra. I think that she's going to lose him and that will put Markus alone in the Umbra, and in turn set both D and the Werewolves after him, opening up the plot for a third party to find him.
Boy as a character needs to be constantly bullied by a kars custodes for no reason and he feels incomplete without it
>>151794644Sex with all of these woofs.
I AM A WORM IN HUMAN SKIN
I know there food is full of banes but it still sounds delicious
>>151795258It all sounds horrifically cursed, even without the knowledge that it's filled with eldritch demons.>mfw a 4 pound donut covered in ham drizzle gets dropped at my table
>>151795258God I miss when fast food was actually cheap>mfw $20 for a semi decent meal from McDonald's
>>151789654During his rant on how the Bane was eating away at him, he said that next would be his brain/brainstem and then “[his] and [the Bane’s] thoughts would be one” his brain really was the only thing left of him.
>>151795258The premium sides in that are copy-pasted standard sides, they're actually:>Livernuggets (Ultraprocessed)>Haggis Balls>Scotch Egg (Haggis, Baked Potato, Curried, Bean and Cheese)>Potato Grids>Small Burger
>>151795258I know it's 2006 and demon infested slop, but 5 pounds of ground beef and a pound of bacon for only 6 fake monopoly bucks?? Who wouldn't buy that and feed off it for a week, most weeks?
>>151795468Other than the comical amount of patties in the Gutbusters, the prices are surprisingly accurate to the early 00's.
>>151795258The thing I am wondering is that apparently Door and Boy have eaten there before and the D family and Arcanum use Garg-O’s products. Are people able to eat this shit without becoming fucked up monsters? Does corrupt them or something outside of the obvious health issues? I know in the WoD introduction vid Speaker D said that Pentex uses beer to subtly convince people to beat their wives so what do the burgers do?
>>151795695These products are spiritually tainted. Regular consumption of them can lead to the consumer becoming spiritually tainted too. If the consumer has a particular personality that makes them vulnerable to a certain vice, then a tainted spirit associated with that vice may attempt to enter their body and spiritually merge with the consumer, altering their body according to the vice that the spirit represents.There's faster ways of doing this, such as the ritual that the guy was preparing, which might have invited a tainted spirit directly into the body of whoever ate the cannibalism slop that Francis was preparing, skipping years of gradual taint accumulation through regular Gutbuster consumption.But the point is, no, a single Gutbuster doesn't turn someone into a burger demon. It takes years of eating O'Tolley's trash, a susceptible personality and a lack of willpower, or a profane ritual to intentionally invite such a spirit into one's body.
>>151791522desu their latest episodes were kinda meh so maybe it was better it ended when it was still fairly good than drag forever
>>151795786I miss Sassafras.
It wasn't supposed to hurt...
Go to 29:30 in the episode.You can hear neighing.
So, how the fuck do you even avoid evil Pentax wyrm taint if all the giant corporations are compromised? Are you just fucked? Door and Boy ate O'tolleys before didnt they?
>>151795695>>151795759Here's an official comic from a World of Darkness book about someone going through a similar situation, which puts a lot of emphasis on how gradual the corruption is.
>>151795845Hunt and cook your own food, simple as
>>151795845How do you avoid microplastics?You don't.All you can do is live a healthy lifestyle and hope that they don't accumulate to the point where they cause genuine health issues.Same with the Wyrm's taint, there's no escaping it in the World of Darkness, all you can do is try to live a decent life so that it doesn't reach critical mass and remain a decent person so that you're not vulnerable to being possessed by spirits of hatred, gluttony or whatever else.
>>151795850That's pretty cool. And terrifying.
>>151795879>I raised Door on a steady supply of hunted spy rats, and he turned American, ISN’T IF AWFUL?!
>>151788865Damn that girl on the right is just the right amount of alt.
Hunting must be pretty easy when the things wearing human skin just tell you so unprompted.
>>151795845You're fucked unless you have a way to cleanse wyrm taint. This means moving from the city and living like a monk or something. Usually, such drastic measures wouldn't be necessary, but we're too far down the spiral for moderation to be effective.
