I'll just say that we're very happy with how this one turned out. In our attempt at expansion, the next project we're focusing on is a Half-Life project we call Half-Life: Zero Viscosity, a four episode affair. We'll be exploring the sunken depths of our roots by screwing around with something heavily inspired by the late 2000s/early 2010s Gmod era that we all were obsessed with, but with our own, uh, twist, of course. HTP Audiodramas will continue to be released, however! All the way until HTP returns in a second Arc. To keep our balls rolling we've now also implemented UA-cam Membership as a long sought after alternative to Patreon, for those interested in supporting us but not wanting to deal with Patreon. No pressure there though, there won't be any changes to the channel with this, we'll just be doing the same thing we've been doing on Patreon for years. The only difference is that you'll have access to funny emojis if you join here. Other than that though, *THANK YOU* for giving us a shot with this. This has been our first attempt at expanding outwards horizontally, and it has been like a direct spinal injection of dopamine and other foreign happy fluids. I am hoping you will continue to give our conjurations a shot like you have with your powerful gun-shaped brain. Thank you for your time.
Hi Bruva. Have you ever considered going to new tech sites like Odysee or Rumble. Will you do a collaboration episode with Adeptus Ridiculous? Thoughts on the upcoming 10th edition codices?
Just noticed a small detail, Door keeps his composure through this ordeal but the second an ambulance is mentioned his eyes start to bug out. Peak American behavior.
What’s the chance that another of the Dademporer's sons is a member of the police force that was recently transferred to the area and happened to receive the fallout?
Every single time Door refers to his old mining days, he wasn’t talking about rocks and stones, dude was a EOD tech, hence the suit, the mines and his cold and calculating demeanor.
That makes a looootta sense. Especially since he seems sorta like a military man. My money would be on marines cause of the 'Do you wanna live forever?' line. Also it would explain the mines and the guns in britain.
And before anybody gripes saying “but it’s a revolver! He messed up, he should’ve said 44 caliber!” The revolver could easily be chambered in 45 Colt like the Single Action Army, 45 Long Colt, or be a 44 Magnum utilizing a .451 caliber bullet because the actual size of a 44 mag bullet can vary depending on the grain and what size works best to engage with the rifling the firearm possesses. This has been a brief public service announcement by your local redneck. Thank you for your time.
@@n-signia1087 Then we find out it's a .357 because vampires are like bears. Big and mean when hungry, very supine when plugged full of fist sized holes! (I'm aware that .357 isn't *that* powerful but it's the caliber my local rednecks have convinced me is best in the back country, would love your opinion?)
Prob go more along the lines of 454 Casull, uses 45 Long Colt as the casing but loaded with a full power modern powder charge. It has nearly double the muzzle energy of your typical 44 mag. After seeing the size of Door, he could prob handle it.
When Door talks about his "old mining days", he didn't work in a mine, he worked with MINES, landmines. He was an explosive ordnance disposal technician, which is why he knows how to plant landmines on the front lawn and how he has an EOD suit. He's a veteran of some war or conflict where he worked as an EOD technician.
Kitten breaking out the stilts was a 5D chess move: By being on the stilts, he ensured that Pyotr kept his eyes off the ground, and Kitten could also mask the unusual path he took through the minefield by acting as if he wasn't very good at walking on stilts, so he could lure Pyotr into the minefield unaware. Barring the Markus Missle, it was the perfect plan.
@@fakerthedaker15 when you are fighting beast who are way stronger then you the most you can do is play the role of the devil and not tell lies but trick for if the monster doesn't see through it then it's mind cannot comprehend it
Man, Shitbeard is even sadder now. He was not only in college, but he was also a part of a Blood Drive trying to help people, only to be embraced against his will. Man never caught a break
It get worse if you take in consideration the fact that Brujah used to be warrior poets and philosopher, and unlike Ape, he wasn't a shovelhead. So he likely was noticed for his gentle, caring behaviour and his political studies, but upon realising what happened, likely went bitter, and from here, either was deemed a failure and chased out, or ran away.
@@blackguard5883 Being Shitbeard is suffering. Either the bitterness or frustration mixing with a weird, unnatural rage that keeps him from thinking properly.
I just realized that Pyotr is consistently looking over his shoulder to check on D and make sure he’s unconscious. That is a fine little detail and fits with his character, as, while he is high on blood, he still considers D to be a major threat.
Eh I don't think that's what he's doing there, he's probably just thinking. Especially since he hasn't seen how dangerous Big D is, only Kevin has an idea of that
@Mindless Scientist Maybe, but after hearing that D is aware of diablerie, and knowing that D is the most experienced of the group, I’d say that Pyotr’s instincts are at play. Especially the cut at 12:36. C’mon, you can’t tell me that cut implies Pyotr isn’t assessing the biggest ape in the room and calculating his chances of getting Door, after the question was posed about taking chances. Pyotr is too methodical of a character to neglect that basic survival fact. It’s just that Pyotr miscalculated the importance of Boy, and underestimated Door’s cunning, that’s what did him in.
No, it's more along the lines of wanting to make sure that the others are still unconscious and unable to act. He was making sure that Door wasn't stalling for time for someone to get a drop on him. He'd either completely forgotten about Boy, or simply never considered him to be a potential threat.
Hey everyone - Voice of Pyotr here. I just want to say everyone did an AMAZING job with this episode and we're all so excited to share it with you! From the voice actors to the animators, Writers to artists, everyone is super proud of this episode. Big props to papa alfa and the chattering void of madness known as Speaker D, for giving me the chance to voice everyone's beloved sludgelad. It's a blast!
You are the best voice actor Alfabusa has in my opinion, your role as Pyotr is some of the best voice acting I have seen in fan animations, period. Good job, m8!
I read this in Pyotrs voice and that makes me very uneasy coz it sound like you’re trying to lull me into a false sense of security. Like how you did to Ape
Damn dude, I gotta say, your voice acting really sold Pyotr as a character, let alone an antagonist! You really took the nosfie vibe to a whole new level and I just wanna thank you for doing such an amazing job!
Interesting that while Pyotr went to hell in the post credits, Shitbeard instead faded away into a white background while talking about the importance of a college education and supporting your local colleges.
Pyotr 'gave into the sad quirks of circumstance and degenerated into a monster' while Shitbeard held onto his humanity despite the Sabbat propaganda and apparently had a stockpile of good deeds from a long human life to boot. Hope Kevin was watching so he could see the inevitable end that will come for him if he embraces the Sabbat ideology, a miserable death where you die alone and unmourned.
@@hariman7727 Shitbeard probably had only slightly less than an un-Embraced human. Same with Kevin. Both appear to have abnormally high Humanity for Cainites. I like to think Shitbeard was forgiven due to how he was before Embrace, as well as how it was entirely against his will, and the fact he never gave into the Beast., which gave him a bit of a slide to Heaven. Pyotr had fuckin -12 Humanity. That dude was as Wight as Wights could get.
"Playing God is a 'sometimes' thing" is absolutely going into my stash of quips for the Necromancer I'm playing in a current DnD campaign. That shit's gold.
I thought he was going to say something like “playing god is something you shouldn’t do” but no, he just thinks there’s a time and a place for it. Good to know he isn’t a hypocrite considering his response to “god forgive me” is “you’re forgiven”
I find all of the voice actors to be incredible, I hope they will be able to make TTS in the future again once GW stops clenching buttcheeks so hard over the fan creations.
@@Lerciezje that would be babulous, but so long as they're making something - anything incredible like this - it eases the hurt more than I would've suspected
"Maybe my gun finds you, and maybe the force of a .45 caliber bullet sends you plummeting straight to hell." Door explained his plan out loud, and it still worked. Holy shit.
the "maybes" werent just hot talk for "im willing to take that risk" its refering to the fact his plan does not in fact involve his gun finding pyotr, but the boys
EVERYONE is talking about how Pyotr went down, but are we not going to acknowledge the absolutely stunning instance of badassery that Door and Boy pulled off? What a couple of champions.
Well being in EOD requires nerves of steel, so it explains why he's so level headed under pressure. Boy waiting for the shot is pretty unexpected and impressive though.
Despite Marckus being dumb enough to jump out of a two story window, he was exactly correct. They did have a much better time once they had him out in the open, where he could not spring ambushes. When he decided to go out into the yard, confident that he had taken almost everyone out, was when everything started to go wrong for him. He was very clever with how he used a shovel of all things, but it wasn't enough. Being so stupid but so smart is very on brand for Marckus.
"An angry vampire is a predictable vampire. If I attack without thinking..." "I am beyond human, but I am not beyond rage!" He lost sight of his own (co-opted from Kitten) advice.
it's actually a pattern I noticing. Marckus has good ideas but they didn't get executed in a silly or sloppy matter that backfires on him. where's Kitten executes equally silly plans but they're working out. I'm worried this may cause a rift
High intelligence with low wisdom. The concepts are clever and do end up working in thr end, but the execution is always his downfall since he doesnt consider things like his personal capabilities or the specifics of his enemy's behaviors, and in love it
Kitten's "reason you suck" rant at Pyotr is my favorite part of this episode. How ironic that while Pyotr did manage to piss him off in a cruel mirror to their Episode 1 encounter, it just ended with him being the one overwhelmed with rage beyond reason.
"I bet you think that really pissed me off" Everything about that moment was perfectly executed, the voice acting, the actual lack of music, the silent beat before the fight started
I prefer the fact that that hole is quite large. That would have taken quite some time to dig. So everyone's fear was unfounded. The dude would have been in the basement setting that shit up for kitten.
@@sealevel5961 you are forgetting that he's basically a super charged vampire now capable of tossing cars. it probably took him a minute if not less to make the whole.
Given how powerful Pyotr was by this point, I was wondering why he didn't just straight up murder them. But later on, you realize that he is still in his coward mindset. Previously, you think all the playing around is just him being overconfident and sadistic. But really, he's paranoid and acting as if he were still pre diablerie pyotr (all that vampire experience backfiring on him). As Door said, he was too afraid to take even the smallest odds in order to win. His defeat was do to a lack of confidence, rather an excess of it, too afraid to let go of his eternal life - very vampire like indeed.
He had all that power But in the end was held back by the fact that if he sliped up once and they got a good hit in, and a Stake? Then they would leave him out for the Sun
Yeah I was just waiting for him to say some sadistic comment and then just fucking decapitate Marckus with the shovel. He chickened out of a lot of opportunities to take out at least 3/5ths of the Hunter crew.
the other issue he had, was he distracted himself with all his rantings about being the "sword of caine" and thinking himself the hottest of shits , sounds like apeboy may have gotten one last laugh on him from the inside...
See, what gets me the most is how lore accurate this all is. Pyotr was the careful planer - he had to be, given his weak vitae after all. He could be an filthy opportunist, but his actions were led by survival logic. So why, all of a sudden he just throws cars and jumps at heavily armed people, walking into traps? For vitae of another kindred - blood of another vampire - is beyond any drug. It elevates you and sends the Beast roaring into satisfied frenzy. Before he may had preached it, but then, high on blood, he believed he is so superior to them he does not have to concern himself with anything they might pull off. He was done for the second he stopped even entertaining, let alone consider the hunters a threat, certain of his immortality.
but he did plan. he took out their strongest first. the car was an ambush to set up another ambush with a backup trap behind that. he held back on just chasing kitten at first, and tossed markus at him instead to immobilize them. he was overconfident, but only barely. He was caught up in what was in front of him. when kitten and marcus were immobilized, he figure he had them. same with door. he would pin someone and assume that was it. that is why the mines got him. that is why boy got him.
not to mention he clearly took up some of the personality of those he diablerised - his clearly being riled up by kitten's reproach was probably shitbeard showing up, and his monologuing, sword of caine thing and fear in the face of final death are like what we've seen of ape
@@gege0298 no, that was straight up how he was. he TAUGHT that to ape. It was his own beliefs. I didn't see ANYTHING of the others in him. He wasn't even riled up by kitten, and said as much. He just calmly yeeted makus at him.
I am a total neophyte when it comes to World of Darkness lore, but does diablerization also mean you absorb the soul of the other vampire? Like they don’t just dissipate or cease to exist, but they become a part of you and your subconscious? You could argue the other two started affecting his conscious judgment and personality too. Correct me if I am wrong.
@@DeusExAngelo They can if you consume the blood of a stronger generation. However consuming the blood of a very strong generation might get your body jacked (As in the older Vampire you ate takes over your mind for themselves and your body taken by them)
When Pyotr said: "an angry vampire is a predictable vampire" - that was really fucking awesome. What can be scarier than a vampire, what can easily rip you into aparts, run faster than cars and climb buildings like nothing? A vampire, what can tear you apart, and smart enough to not being outsmarted by you.
I just realized that the reason Kitten was using those ridiculous stilts was an attempt to both draw in Pytor to the Minefield while keeping him clear of the blast and to distract the vampire from Marcus. The plan didn't work at first because Pytor learned his lesson from Kitten, but then with Kitten calling him out and the rush of vitae in his veins, he became overconfident and fell for the trap anyway.
@@The_Natalist yup.correctly saw it was a trap of some kind. but didnt bother to put any thought into trying to figure out what kind. "why stilts of all things?" an attempt to answer that probably woulda saved his ass. at least from the mines. im not sure at any point he woulda noticed the stalls for dawns light.
Just realized that when Pyotr is thinking his next move and muttering "an angry vampire is a predictable vampire", he is quoting what Kitten said when he staked Pyotr in the first episode.
@@Subject_Keter the mutation was stealing Disciplines from his fellows. He definitely got Potence from the Brujah and the Gangrel. Given the glowing eyes? Protean 1 at the very least as well, probably 2.
@@rhorybader4054 Gangrel don't have Potence in-clan. They have Fortitude, which is probably the reason why Pyotr survived the initial encounter with the minefield. My guess is he had a little Potence already from being a nos but was just keeping it hidden for the most part, and Shitbeard just brought him up to car throwing levels. Seems like he also got a little bit of Celerity as well from Shitbeard given he was pretty quick manuevering around the house and digging holes and the like.
There is something profoundly sad about the fact that Bikerbro/Shitbeard was kidnapped and murdered during a Blood Drive. He was a human being. He valued his education. He was interested in philosophy. He travelled. He had a hobby. He cared enough about others to donate his own blood for a good cause. And as a "reward" for that act of kindness, he was grabbed and turned into a monster - cannon fodder for a war that has been raging for more than 500 years. That little tidbit alone captures how horrible existence in the World of Darkness is. Great episode. Great writing. Great acting. This is amazing all around.
You really think you have a "reroll 1" for being good? When all else is removed you will only do good because you put faith that will drive back the darkness from the world, there was never any surety, no plan, no path, just us trying so all the sparks can be enough to bring the day.
He and Kevin seem to have had something in common. Kevin was just an ordinary accountant who got caught up in something awful too. Though Big D seems to have gotten through to Kevin in some form or fashion and judging from that outfit-swap cutscene, it looks like Kevin may have a shot at redemption. (Kevin even LOOKS more put together and humanlike now, bothering to tie his hair back and trying to look decent.) Maybe someone can even find out about Golconda and tell him…if anyone WOULD know, it’s Big D given that he may be a younger version of the Emperor.
@Doc K We MIGHT be keeping Kevin though, as the equivalent of Malcador the Sigilite. I even noticed when I went back and re-watched the first episode that even when he was fully caught up in Pyotr’s cult, Kevin ONLY did the minimum he had to, to get a meal (holding Big D at knifepoint and forcing the others back and NOT going mad slasher on everybody), when it seemed like he couldn’t control himself anymore and he was starving/the Beast was coming out. He was the Great and Mighty Kevin but he sure was damn restrained compared to the rest, especially when we’re dealing with the Sabbat.
Did anyone else see the date of death for the three vamps,ape was a shovelhead,sh*t beard was got at biker rally, pyotr was nabbed in a underwater welding thing(making the bit were his eyes got fryed all the funnier).
Genuinely. Pyotr isn't a terribly complex character but he doesn't need to be. He's cruel, vindictive, and strong but also cunning and cautious. The Nosferatu clan helps define a lot of his powers and abilities but it also lets him look like a horror monster. You get the sense of him acting as an ambush predator, stalking his foes from a distance until he gets just the right moment to strike. And the right moment always comes, if you're patient enough... but he wasn't. If he'd stayed calm and drank from Markus, he could've lured Kitten into rushing back to kill him, avoiding the mine field entirely and putting him into a vulnerable position.
@@sm901ftw I mean, he fucked up a lot of stuff, but generally he had some of the best intentions in the Imperium. Too bad Big E was his father, and too bad Big E is a massive disaster. I like Big D more.
I don't think anyone is truly comprehending the sheer mind numbing potential someone like Door has if they gained access and understanding to Gmod, I hope they make their projects public.

@@fishpop the idea of world of darkness and Warhammer 40k being a shared universe is absolutely terrifying because that could mean big E is Caine or at least a top tier vampire.
6:10 That's a nice hindsight detail, Markus never thought Kitten was leaving them behind, he was concerned because Kitten was walking towards the family minefield on stilts.
Still don’t get why Door didn’t take the shot. A 45 would have more than enough stopping power to knock Pyotr back and into a mine. Just seemed like an unnecessary risk
@@j.g.3293 ignoring how stopping power isnt real (but movie physics are a thing) Pyotr is strong enough that even with one leg he could react or maintain his balance by tanking it (which would still be foolish). Its interesting the Door seemed to be preparing for him to commit to a jump to shoot, which is a good idea.
Seriously, the two hisses from the trap hole (2nd one being the FUCK YOU hiss) had me break down laughing my butt off. That was too funny. And, well, he *is* named Kitten!
I friggin love how in the stand-off sequence between Door and Pyotr, Door is illuminated by yellow moonlight (or early sunlight?), evoking the whole thing in spaghetti westerns with duels at dawn, while Pyotr is illuminated by blue moonlight, a much more classic vampire color
Oh man, I missed that. It works on multiple levels too. Boy wants the hell that the night has become to be over, AND he remembers Pyotr's comment from before.
Those last moments of pyotrs life just perfectly show his character. Why he didn't just outright murder the hunters. He was a coward to the very end. No amount of vampire blood can get ride of that.
Not really a coward but he was human in the simplest way, his desire to life. It's not cowardly to desire life. Also he faced the hunters face on in the end, they outnumbered him if he was a hero this would be cunning not cowardess. In the end he is as tragic as any vampire, just with the extra topping of having diablirised his brethren, an action also easily explained by the warped morality one probably gains by becoming a vampire.
@@dariusgunter5344 The true curse of vampirism is the fact that vampires can never truly trust one another and only see each other as potential threats rather than their own kin. Just like how God was forced to watch Caine murder his brother Abel so too must Caine watch his vampire descendants kill and betray each other for an eternity.
@@dariusgunter5344 He might've been outnumbered but he was also Diablerized. He could've busted into the room with all five of them and slaughtered them in seconds, but instead he kept resorting to hiding and setting traps to coax them out one by one. He did the "smart" thing by being cautious. Had he done the brave/reckless thing by just busting into the room, the hunters would have been mincemeat.
@@dariusgunter5344 I honestly feel sorry for the guy, he was probably a decent person before the vampire shit but after…. Assuming this is 2008 based on Marcus saying TF2 is out next year. 28 years of being a vampire, he just got warped into a monster
Also another small detail to parsed from this masterpiece. Boy's quotes Pyotr after shooting him. "It'll all be over soon" is what Pyotr had said to boy in the tunnel when he had been captured.
Marckus didn't screw up. He INTENTIONALLY tried to appear as weak and vulnerable as possible, so to get Pyotr to become visible and attack him. Unfortunately, Pyotr will to hold his laughter was greater than Marckus cunning. In short, Marckus did nothing wrong.
He intentionally fell out of a second floor window then proceeded to double kneecap himself. He did everything wrong for the right reason! At least he tried to stay and help his father after he got yeeted
In all truth it reminds me of a mix of xombie and other earlier works, but in a very good way, the way he moved the angles of the house, it all felt so good. Also door was awesome in this, being bait and making sure even if he missed boy would be there to down the beast. Honestly loving this and reading about the other projects have me interested as well.
Pyotr's overconfidence here really did do him in. Fresh off diablerizing his way into Celerity, Potence, and Protean, not to mention jumping two generations of blood potency probably left him feeling like a frickin' God. He was absolutely, totally, and completely unprepared for the kind of trickery that could be pulled by D's family. The mindfuck gambit of the stilts, the reason you suck speech, Door's stone-cold lecture, and the ambush snipe from Boy - all things he never considered. Hell, he didn't even consider Boy a threat he needed to neutralize, despite the fact that Boy was brought by *a team of Hunters* to a hunting expedition. D might be certifiably mercury-licking batshit-huffing absolutely-smashed-on-DMT insane, but he's smart enough not to bring someone on a hunt unless they've got honest-to-God combat skills that meet *his* level of stringent approval. Pyotr almost learned the 'angry vampire is a predictable vampire' lesson - only to immediately forget it in the face of two badass lectures. Hell, Door just about told Pyotr to his face what he was about to do, and he still did it. The dirt-spray smokescreen was clever, but what did Pyotr do right afterward? Try to jump the goddamn mines and pounce Door, just like Door predicted. They had Pyotr played from the moment Kitten tossed the boot at him. If Pyotr had been even half as smart as he thought he was, he would've let the boot sail down the hall, then ripped Kitten's throat out as he was sighing in relief. No stilts, no lecture, and no going outside to get exploded by mines. Kitten would be dead, Door would have to come engage Pyotr on Pyotr's terms, and once Door and Boy are dealt with, Marckus and D's fate could be decided at his leisure.
I think part of why Pyotr caught the boot in the door was to traumatize Kitten so that when he fell into the hole Pyotr could make a proper shovel head out of him. So I’m addition to everything you said, Pyotr’s pursuit of turning the hunters was ultimately the first step in his undoing. It was a plan that would have never succeeded and the vampires arrogance that he even could- was his end.
The first third or so where Pyotr was stalking them around the house was genuinely spine-chilling stuff. Felt like I was watching a mash-up of a comedy movie and Halloween. The bit where Kitten had to shut the office door genuinely had me sweating, as the idea of approaching an ominous dark door is one of my strongest real-world fears. Describing the sudden shift from tension to relief to shock when Big D was grabbed as tonal whiplash would be an understatement. Just wonderful stuff all around.
Very much so, but also the catch of the boot by a invisible hand was terrifying, a single moment of hesitation and precaution saved Kitten there since that likely would have been a head grab had he retreated away from the car. its subtle in visuals but terrifying in a what might have happened kind of way.
I expected invisible Pyotr to be in the room already, but the window grab was really unexpected and damn scary. They really made a great scary episode here.
I really miss tts; but what you have created here is beyond amazing. Not a substitute but rather a masterpiece in it's own right. I genuinely can not express how entertaining this new series is and can not wait until the next episode drops already.
It's the surge in support after GW sharted him. (I was typing "shafted", but typo'd "sharted", and it fits given how awful GW has gotten to fan creators.) That support surge has allowed him to hire and pay a staff.
This man with the physique of a stick broke out of a well fortified room. Probably breaking down a perfectly well constructed door. this I can not forgive.
@@hariman7727 I feel like it might have also involved betrayal by a relative, a family friend, or being abandoned by one or more of 'em during 'the incident' as well, considering he seems to be particularly triggered by Pyotr's _betrayal_ most of all.
Even without a tragic backstory, the fact that Kitten relies so heavily on his new family for support, and literally has to trust his life in their hands in a world where anyone could be a vampire spy, means that the bonds of trust & found-family are highly valued by him. So to see someone so easily throw such bonds away is not only inconceivable, it’s downright Repulsive to him!
Has anybody else noticed how Door names his tools? The rotary saw has “Bobby” printed on the side. We can tell that the shovel didn’t belong to Door though, because it says “PNDLND” (Poundland) on it. Therefore it must belong to Kitten since he’s known to shop there.

there's an entire vampire clan in Vampire: The Masquerade, clan Nosferatu, that looks like this, by the way. it's the entire clan's curse and the reason they are usually found in the sewers or tunnels; even showing oneself in public for a Nosferatu would risk breaching the Masquerade
I absolutely adore Pyotr's design. So many of the Nosferatu are, well, just slight variations upon the titular literary/cinematic character's design. But Pyotr? He stands out. Well, not so good anymore without that leg, of course.
Every episode of Hunter: The Parenting is better than the last, and every one serves to show GW what absolute clowns they were to sneer at the free publicity you gave them. Y'all make me want to try the World of Darkness.

Climb out the window and hang from the windowsill, so you are just dangling from the house by your hands in the window. This will reduce the distance that you drop and will be muuuuuch easier on your legs when landing. Will not help so much when going above 2 stories but for a short jump it'll be make it from crippling to just 'that smarts!' If you can, land in a bush or similar. It'll still hurt, and you'll still get cuts and bruises from landing in a rose bush, but it's much better than your full bodyweight hitting your legs dead on. Better a few cuts and scrapes than a injured ankle. If you've a choice between pavement and dirt, aim for the dirt. Keep your legs bent a little as you drop, you want them to compact like you are kneeling down when you hit the ground to cushion the damage more.
Also, let your knees bend ALL THE WAY and don't be afraid to go backwards and fall flat on your ass. Your back and tailbone will smart tomorrow, but it's better than trying to stay upright, toppling forward and potentially breaking your wrist...
@@hisokamorow6709 landing with your feet flat instead of onto your toes. It sends a jolt through your ankle up your shins and it hurts like a MOTHERFUCKER, to say nothing of potential injury to cartilage.
So this confirms that Ape was, indeed, a fresh shovelhead - Embraced only a year ago, haven't even gone through a Vaulderie yet... which says something that Pyotr liked HIM more than Shitbeard, even when the latter had Vinculum and the former didn't. In partucular, since Pyotr is heavily implied to be the Pack Priest of their group (most experienced one, commands the group, declares Monomachy), he was likely the one to have shovelheaded Ape - or, at least, approved of it, since Ape was Embraced by a Gangrel. Was it because he saw in Ape what he saw in himself? The spirit of survival, the egoism, the wish to be The Strongest? And, on contrary, Shitbeard still missed his mortal life (much to the pack's annoyance), cited Kant, and it's even implied in the eye-catch that he participated in a charity blood drive as a mortal! No wonder Pyotr never liked him - he probably saw him as a spineless wimp, only tolerable because he was an extra body for the group and had a lower Generation.
Its a shame for Apeboy that, in the end, survival and power trumped affection for his protege. And its a shame for Pyotr that his twisted selfishness screwed him over, things probably would have gone better if they had just split Shitbeard between them so they could both go after the hunter's together.
@@mizu7662 Must have been hard for Pyotr to be leader. Thin of blood himself with a strong Tremere and Brujah that are both leaning on their human lives in the group.
@@zeppelincraft1443 Yeah, it's also worth noting that the Nosferatu are usually second class citizen even among the Sabbat, with only their fellow deformed freaks in the Gangrel and Tzimisce giving them the time of day. It's hard to say if only picking one of the group or even trying to wait things out would have been more effective honestly, one of those would leave him with half the blood, no diablerie high and the... enthusiastic Ape tagging along. The other would likely just have led to them going into torpor and Door killing them, unless the hunters eventually relented and fed them animal blood or something.
@@tartytart7560 Tzimisce are THE vampire. Pretty much Nosferatu but better. They can masquarade in the open and still maintain monster like capabilities. The only way you can get the most if you end up being Nosferatu is that if you never cared or need to care about your apperance. Like being a exceptional hacker on the net 24 hours abusing your immortality.
@@zeppelincraft1443 Never forget that _Tzimisce_ is the clan of _Vladmir Tepes,_ the *_Red Dragon_* himself. I don't. That's the reason they're my favorite clan. _Vicissitude_ is awesome and all, but that history, and their clan flaw, really makes them for me.
@@jurtheorc8117that’s outside the Tremere wheelhouse, unfortunately. Protean (the Kindred ability to shapeshift into things like mist or animals) is mainly the Gangrel’s exclusive Discipline.
IF people are curious about how Ape actually turned Vampiric, He's a Shovelhead, Shovelheads are people who are knocked unconscious, Embraced, and then thrown into a mass grave. This causes the Vampire to Frenzy and severely hallucinate, with the intended effect to completely strip them of their humanity, potentially resulting in an amnesiac or just a raving animalistic berserker. In reality this typically just caused severely unstable vampires constantly on the verge of Frenzy which was fine as the Sabbat just used these vampires as fodder. In Modern VTM the Sabbat don't typically do this, it still happens on occasion with very specific clans but MOST Sabbat are hyper elitist about who they embrace.
Shovelheading has typically also been a tool of War for the Sabbat. A way to quickly amass conscripts to use as cannon fodder against their foes, with any survivors of said bad odds being grudgingly accepted as proper Sabbat (eventually), though they never let them forget their origins. Presumably, the crusade was in need of troops quite recently within the story, with Ape being the sole survivor out of however many people were shoveled that night (that we know of). That's quite a risky action for a cold war, so it would seem that it's rather warmer than it might first appear.
@@davidfrancisco3502 Died as in "embraced". When you're turned into a Vampire, your body dies, but you live on as undead. Kevin in the 2nd audiolog explains it pretty well. Your heart ceases beating, your skin is cold from lack of blood flowing, etc.
@@davidfrancisco3502 All vampires die, because the process starts with them being completely exsanguinated. They can also embrace fairly recent corpses once they've sucked out all the blood as well, but that doesn't always work and usually results in a completely fucked-up vamp as their soul is ripped from the afterlife and glues back into their body.
@@davidfrancisco3502 Nah, You're knocked unconscious, and while unconscious "Embraced" which results in your "Death" afterwards you are buried before waking up.
I won't say that I love Boy's emotional reaction to shoot Pyotr, but I find it especially amazing. With all the badassery and madness of the adults surrounding him, Boy is still only eleven years old. He has never been confronted with death is such a fashion - even the cameras had the impersonal wall between him and the slaughter. To be the one to shoot and - for all intents and purposes - kill a being that could appear so human would rattle anyone not used to it, especially a child his age. He panics - shaking with a stuttering voice and tears in his eyes - as he tries to come to grips with what he has done. Pyotr was a monster, but a man all the same. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it. Magnificent, I can't wait for the next arc.
Except he was not. Pyotr renounces his humanity at every turn, reveling in the vileness of what he has done, and what he yet plans to do to future victims. Did you not listen to his speech? His is a very Nietzchean, "might makes right" mentality. Just because is man shaped, does not make it man. Even at the tender age of eleven, having witnessed the atrocities this thing has committed, I think deep down Boy realizes that what he is dealing with is not human, and thus should feel little compunction in doing what needs to be done
For those who dont know vampire the masquerade lore, there is a cool reason Pyotr left the hunters alive. In the Sabbat there are recuitts called shovelheads, who were turned by being beaten unconscious (often with a shovel) turned and then buried alive. This traumatizes the new vampires and causes them to immediately awaken the "beast". This is why Pyotr dug a big whole that was shallow enough for kitten to climb out off. He didn't want to kill any hunters, just beat them until he can turn them and bury them alive

I'm greatfull for the likes regardless but alas I must mourn for the loss of the funny number
I just realize.: Door speech was to slow down and distract Pytor from the Sun begining to rise (hinted by the faint sunbeam at 11:48), he planned 3 steps ahead.: - Get Pyotrs atention and shoot him back into the mines if he jump, while making sure Boy isnt spotted and prepares himself. - Have the Demo-suit on to slow Pytors attack if he missed the shot (and possibly Die from injuries). - Have Boi shoot Pyotr while hes mid-air or on Door back into the Mines to slow him down further because He plays with his food and would've likely taunt Boy once he spots him after brutalizing Door. On a sidenote.: Bois face at 14:57 is so fucking cute, what the fuck?!
0:53 So, four months later and during a rewatch but Im FAIRLY certain the picnic table on the right there is the same one that Door used inside the cave (based on the fact its shattered int he middle). Meaning that after they were done with the vamps, Door went BACK FOR THE TABLE.
Shit, how can something like this be so ridiculously high quality. Story, the people (family and vamps), the jerky animation but also art direction. I'm almost compelled to thank GW for fucking Bruva over so they can make this masterpiece series. Almost... (fuck GW anyway)
Boy is truly becoming the man his father was and we are all happy for him. Also, I was somewhat surprised that Door has an EOD blast suit. (Prior to realizing that Door was an EOD specialist and not a miner.)
I wouldn’t wish Pyotyr’s final fate in the post credits upon my worst enemy. Nothing is more terrifying than _Karl._ Absolutely incredible how innovative this series has been for the channel.
Kitten constantly masking himself, the cat ears through the hood, the whole pittrap scene, asking for advice for surviving werewolves and Big D enlisting Kevin to his cause. Kitten may be a Changeling...
Is it Karl? I always thought it was Speaker due to the voice and annunciations and tone, but I'm not all too familiar with the actual people "behind" the voices.
oh *god* he doesnt know Karl ok Karl is the local swedish cryptid of bruva alfabusa's channel who does a lot of voicework for very minor roles in TTS and hes become a massive meme for longtime channel fans at this point
@@mastadonking3816 When you put two very different things next to each other to make a viewer see the difference clearly. Your comment pointed out the juxtaposition that the video has by putting Kitten's quirky cat-like reactions next to Pyotr's inhuman eye-licking. Hope this makes sense!
Man this was a good episode: Kitten hissing like a cat made me chuckle Pyotr is a genuinely scary villain And Doors "DO you want to live forever?" speech is SO badass. Bravo guy's, cant wait to see more both in proper episodes and your more lore heavy "podcast" kinda episodes.
I absolutely agree with that! Also… I wonder if kitten is like a werecat or something. That would make sense. Or it’s just cartoon shenanigans. Either way I like it
You know... I KNEW that Pyotr was going to throw the shovel when Door showed up and started baiting him. I didn't expect everything that followed after.
THIS IS GETTING ME HARDER THAN TERMINATOR ARMOR But seriously, I have a really stressful week, so this is like a great christmas feast for a starving child. Thank you (preemtivly) once again, Alfabusa, for the entertainment throughout all these years.
Oh my god, Boy almost breaking down from a kill is heartbreaking. It was the absolute right thing to do in this case, but this was still a child taking a life for the first time, and that really nails it.
@@jor4114 Knowing Door, Boy was probably visiting shooting range like it was sunday school. Or just regular school. He's probably skilled enough at shooting moving targets; heck, he might actually have even hunted some animals! He's just very, VERY unused to shooting actual living (or un-living, lmao) people.
When Door is standing there with his revolver he was giving me major Hellboy vibes in the best possible way. Especially the shading around his eyes as he stared down a monster.
Yknow, between the moving ears, the complete skin covering, his ability to throw a spear almost entirely through the skull of Mighty Kevin, and apparently having a tail, Kitten is looking more and more like a werecat/wolf by the episode
@@Blunder-Blue additionally 1. He seeks new knowledge all the time 2. We’ve never seen him land hard on his back after a fall (that I remember) 3. Spiky “fur” under his sweater when stressed 4. The second hiss was translated
Also, the fact that big D never aged past 30 besides being a grandfather, is extremely knoweledgeable about everything, constantly teases Kevin for not being a true magi, knows about the Massasa war and has an extremely inf lated ego makes me think he's probably a mage or at least an hedge mage. Idk what his spheres or arete could be, though
Given Big D's brain damage, it would be fun and hilarious to see an episode or skit of him typing into a computer that has a text to speech device to communicate properly, just something to pay omag to the series that came before
I’m not sure if Big-D has brain damage or just has a nasty concussion - I mean, let’s be honest, for ordinary humans this family has an almost superhuman tolerance for injury - if they were going for total realism ( which they are not ) this episode should have ended with Markus dying in Kittens arms.
@@troIIdier I was born pre-brain damaged due to a bike accident my mother was subjected to. Can confirm: once it happened once, it’s hard to make happen again.

@@dracogatom7873 Or an Edge kicking in perhaps? He definitely seems to be an Avenger Hunter. Big D is a Redeemer (and VERY experienced). Markus has the trappings of a Defender, same as Kitten if we're being honest. Boy is likely leaning toward Innocent (considering his empathic assessment of the Vampire Grudge Match) and proving that Innocent doesn't mean 'Pacifist'.
@@boxtank5288 Burden - By locking eyes with a supernatural creature, the Judge can hold it in place from a distance just by staring at it. As long as the Judge is not distracted and doesn't avert their gaze, the creature cannot move from that spot. However, teleportation or speed-based powers can allow the supernatural to escape this edge What if Pyotr could only charge Door cause Door had him Burdened, but when Pyotr broke line of sight, he got the opportunity he was looking for? That's my theory
Considering that it was a revolver, and it wasn't cocked when Door dropped it (Door being competent with gun safety and doing the best with a bad situation,) meaning Marcus had to have panicked some. And then that is why Door invited Marcus to the range, to get Marcus trained on how to properly use a gun. Yes, I consider this head canon.
@@magosryzak7477 I mean it could have been an old single action, but then it raises the question of why Door didn’t have it resting on an empty cylinder.
@@lushedleshen Hunters can't risk having one too few bullets for the sake of gun safety. If the hammer landed on a hard surface like a rock (which Marckus is surrounded by) it would still misfire.
@@45calGunslinger the irony of your username and not knowing a modern revolver won’t have an accidental discharge (or rather a negligent discharge in this case) from hitting the hammer and a misfire is when you intentionally try to fire the weapon but for any one of a few reasons the cartridge doesn’t fire. So it has to be a single action revolver. Which has 6 chambers for 5 rounds. Because having toes is important.
I like that little touch of humanity; of Boy tearing up just a bit. Yeah, he had to and Pyotr was an unrepentant murderer but it shows that Boy still feels something about it. That lad needs a hug and a big 'ol slice of venison cake. Also the theory that he was a feral child is making more and more sense considering the cut-in from last time and his love of venison. Also, glad to see Big D and Kevin chumming it up even if Big D doesn't trust him enough to take the manacles off yet. The Great and Mighty Kevin actually cleans up fairly decent.
I feel like Boy might be just as much of an undocumented Iraq war bring-back as that EOD suit and probably at least half of Door's illegal-in-Britain firearms.
@@TiernanWilkinson ....oooh that's a good theory too. Now, this takes place BEFORE the Second Inquisition so I doubt Door was part of any ops to wipe out Vamps specifically but I can still see him encountering one that wiped out his unit potentially. Maybe even killed Boys birth family.
Not to mention the fact that if he didn’t then Pyotr would of most likely killed Door and him, so that’s probably a shit load of pressure and stress lifting off him at once
HTP has been my favorite project to write for, and I think this is the strongest episode of our first three. I hope you guys enjoy! Fear the Sword of Caine!
Can't wait. I'm enjoying this thoroughly, I feel like leaving the 40kverse behind was actually beneficial to these characters, as they feel more defined and strong here than the 41st millennium ever allowed them to be.
Please keep them coming, and the audio logs are just as good as full episodes when you work nights like I do and need something entertaining to listen to.
Oh crap! Marcus wasn't angry at Kitten running away to leave them, he was scared Kitten might trip the mines and hurt himself! Agh these 2 are too good for each other. Romcon podcast between them when Alfa?
I was thinking: Why stilts in a minefield? Kitten could take larger steps and avoid the mines, if he knew where they were. And of course, kitten has a near perfect memory, meaning he was the only one who could have navigated the minefield without tripping a mine!. EXCELLENT characterization Alfabusa!
@@illiaboiko7354 Honestly does seem like a plot hole, although Markus did know about the mines, so maybe they expected he would crawl around the lawn?
@@illiaboiko7354 The stone paved road is probably safe, it's not easy to plant explosives under solid rock and it's the usual road they take when entering/leaving the house. Kitten intentionally took the route across the lawn so Pyotr would follow him to where he wanted.
@@Crossbow1712 Probably a con to make Pyotr think there was nothing wrong with the lawn. The whole hunter crew was playing 5D speedchess from the start with their communications, including "mining" equipment being an order from Door to lure Pyotr there.
I will be perfectly honest, I held off on watching Hunter: The Parenting for a LONG time after it released. The first minutes felt like it'd just be the Throne Room troupe in another world chatting up a storm, being slightly more quirky. (I somehow hadn't made the connection to WoD with the naming scheme) But the moment Pyotr showed his face I was all the way in that bitch. I make no exaggerations when I say that you guys are masterful storytellers. HtP is funny, endearing, unnerving and beyond all that, seriously engaging. Don't let the cunts at GW keep you down you magnificent bastards
*Spoilers* On a second watch a lot of things make sense: 0:51 I imagine that is Peter leaving the house to go set his trap in the carport, giving the Hunters time to plan (and in Markus' case good-up). 0:55 Nice to see Door took the picnic table from the cave, no good reason to waste it after all! He even tried to repair it! 1:30 In Markus' defense his logic is sound, but the way he went about it was terrible. 2:24 You would think that with Door being the main advocate for Marcus to get a gun, he would follow the first rule of gun safety better. That being to keep your safety on. 3:34 Presumably that's the sword from the first audio log. 4:33 This scene in particular shows off Peter's new found power. Not only was he able to throw a car, as mention by Big D in the audio log, he managed to quickly, and silently, make it back into the house to Kittens position. 4:50 Cat doormat. Its cute. 5:23 The abbreviation on the shovel, 'PNDLND,' likely stand for 'Pound Land' which could be the 99p store mentioned in the first audio log. 5:28 *FurryRun* If you know, you know. (I'm sorry.) 5:35 Naruto run. 5:48 What he meant is that the stilts would come in handy to cross the minefield, having likely got them to help avoid any accidental detonation and give a better view of the mines. 6:12 Markus isn't concerned that he is being abandoned by his fiancé, but is trying to warn him about the mines. 6:30 I imagine that Kittens plan was to lure Peter into the minefield, and not in fact abandon his faimly. 7:21 Who ever wrote this clever piece of word play, please give them a cookie! 8:43 From the tone of Peter's voice its clear that he was, in fact, pissed off. 9:32 The outlines of the mines are finally visible. 10:36 The tag on the suit says "U.S. Army EOD" which means we can safely assume Door was part of a bomb squad. Or at least, has access to the U.S. army's surplus gear. I frankly find it more likely that Door was part of some U.S. operation around 2004, when SchreckNet was compromised by the NSA, reveling to secret agencies the existence of Vampires and giving rise to the Second Inquisition. In truth, Door was likely a member of FIRSTLIGHT or USSOCOM and could have feasibly taken part on their raid of Vienna, which as the time had the greatest concentration of vampire activity. This is supported by his use of the term 'blankbody,' which refers to the low body temperature of vampires which gives away their true nature. If true that would make Door the second most experienced hunter of the group, only behind Big D. 12:11 Dirty Door. 13:04 How very responsible of Door! Giving his son ear protection for when he fires the gun! Tinnitus is no joke people! 13:05 Boy never forgets, and never forgives... He clear has taken a page from his father's book. 13:28 You can just hear the fatherly pride ooze from Doors voice! He really is proud of his son. 14:19 Markus, as he did indeed blackout, does in fact have a concusion. 14:35 Boy's use of 'thing' shows that he clear has understood what his father meant by blankbodies not being people. 15:14 Brotherly bonding at its finest! 15:35 Its good too see that Boy's diet still allows him to partake in other foods (so long as they involve meat). It also seems that venison is Boy's favorite. 15:58 That's just in poor taste, Markus. The more I watch this series, the more I become certain that this is just Boy's backstory for how he becomes the worlds greatest Hunter.
You forgot the scene where rhey show kevin. He's the fly that lands on Big D's butt. If you look closely, you can see the little blue wizard's hat on it's head. Would explain how he was able to slip out constantly without his packmates, especially the Nosferatu and the Gangerel noticing.
You're insights are pretty interesting to read. Please keep it coming. Stay healthy. Ps.: @06:05 When Markus is "distracted" by the stilts, he refers to Kittens "Packet".
Looking at the gun that Door tossed to Markus, it resembles a revolver. I am no armorer or gunsmith, but I know enough about guns that it shouldn’t of gone off at all. I don’t know if Door would follow the old tried and true revolver form of safety, which is leaving the hammer on an empty chamber. Because if he did, then Markus would be entirely fine and Door seems the type to take weapon safety seriously.
@@d.petrovic9721 Indeed, very true. Which is why I mentioned leaving the hammer on an empty chamber, because the only way it would’ve gone off is if Door completely loaded all 6 chambers.
I'll just say that we're very happy with how this one turned out.

Anyone else realize that Door is the personification of, “9mm kills the body, but .45 kills the soul.”
And before anybody gripes saying “but it’s a revolver! He messed up, he should’ve said 44 caliber!” The revolver could easily be chambered in 45 Colt like the Single Action Army, 45 Long Colt, or be a 44 Magnum utilizing a .451 caliber bullet because the actual size of a 44 mag bullet can vary depending on the grain and what size works best to engage with the rifling the firearm possesses.

Kitten breaking out the stilts was a 5D chess move: By being on the stilts, he ensured that Pyotr kept his eyes off the ground, and Kitten could also mask the unusual path he took through the minefield by acting as if he wasn't very good at walking on stilts, so he could lure Pyotr into the minefield unaware. Barring the Markus Missle, it was the perfect plan.

I just realized that Pyotr is consistently looking over his shoulder to check on D and make sure he’s unconscious. That is a fine little detail and fits with his character, as, while he is high on blood, he still considers D to be a major threat.
Eh I don't think that's what he's doing there, he's probably just thinking. Especially since he hasn't seen how dangerous Big D is, only Kevin has an idea of that
@Mindless Scientist Maybe, but after hearing that D is aware of diablerie, and knowing that D is the most experienced of the group, I’d say that Pyotr’s instincts are at play. Especially the cut at 12:36. C’mon, you can’t tell me that cut implies Pyotr isn’t assessing the biggest ape in the room and calculating his chances of getting Door, after the question was posed about taking chances. Pyotr is too methodical of a character to neglect that basic survival fact. It’s just that Pyotr miscalculated the importance of Boy, and underestimated Door’s cunning, that’s what did him in.
I thought he was going to use D as a hostage, but just an ass shot is fine, too
No, it's more along the lines of wanting to make sure that the others are still unconscious and unable to act. He was making sure that Door wasn't stalling for time for someone to get a drop on him. He'd either completely forgotten about Boy, or simply never considered him to be a potential threat.
Except the D is probably the weakest of the bunch
Hey everyone - Voice of Pyotr here. I just want to say everyone did an AMAZING job with this episode and we're all so excited to share it with you!
From the voice actors to the animators, Writers to artists, everyone is super proud of this episode.
Big props to papa alfa and the chattering void of madness known as Speaker D, for giving me the chance to voice everyone's beloved sludgelad. It's a blast!
Without even seeing the episode, I know the beautiful sludgelad has probably met his end, no doubt with all the glory he deserves
You are the best voice actor Alfabusa has in my opinion, your role as Pyotr is some of the best voice acting I have seen in fan animations, period. Good job, m8!
I read this in Pyotrs voice and that makes me very uneasy coz it sound like you’re trying to lull me into a false sense of security. Like how you did to Ape
Hey there! Pyotr is terrifying, both in design and voice! What a fantastic job! I’m excited and horrified to see what is about to happen!
Damn dude, I gotta say, your voice acting really sold Pyotr as a character, let alone an antagonist! You really took the nosfie vibe to a whole new level and I just wanna thank you for doing such an amazing job!
Interesting that while Pyotr went to hell in the post credits, Shitbeard instead faded away into a white background while talking about the importance of a college education and supporting your local colleges.
Shitbeard went to Heaven.
Pyotr 'gave into the sad quirks of circumstance and degenerated into a monster' while Shitbeard held onto his humanity despite the Sabbat propaganda and apparently had a stockpile of good deeds from a long human life to boot. Hope Kevin was watching so he could see the inevitable end that will come for him if he embraces the Sabbat ideology, a miserable death where you die alone and unmourned.
@@DarthSidian Humanity is a stat in WoD, and I'm betting Shitbeard probably still had a lot of his left.
Pyotr... probably had none left.
@@hariman7727 literally id say 0 humanity, a wight
@@hariman7727
Shitbeard probably had only slightly less than an un-Embraced human. Same with Kevin. Both appear to have abnormally high Humanity for Cainites.
I like to think Shitbeard was forgiven due to how he was before Embrace, as well as how it was entirely against his will, and the fact he never gave into the Beast., which gave him a bit of a slide to Heaven.
Pyotr had fuckin -12 Humanity. That dude was as Wight as Wights could get.

True MVP
And his "mining" equipment being a bomb suit was very good
Despite Marckus being dumb enough to jump out of a two story window, he was exactly correct. They did have a much better time once they had him out in the open, where he could not spring ambushes. When he decided to go out into the yard, confident that he had taken almost everyone out, was when everything started to go wrong for him. He was very clever with how he used a shovel of all things, but it wasn't enough. Being so stupid but so smart is very on brand for Marckus.
"An angry vampire is a predictable vampire. If I attack without thinking..."
"I am beyond human, but I am not beyond rage!"
He lost sight of his own (co-opted from Kitten) advice.
it's actually a pattern I noticing.
Marckus has good ideas but they didn't get executed in a silly or sloppy matter that backfires on him.
where's Kitten executes equally silly plans but they're working out.
I'm worried this may cause a rift
The mines did the majority of the heavy lifting.
@@weirdbutokay4750 It's probably part of the reason why Kitten and Marckus were able to get together in the first place.
High intelligence with low wisdom. The concepts are clever and do end up working in thr end, but the execution is always his downfall since he doesnt consider things like his personal capabilities or the specifics of his enemy's behaviors, and in love it
Kitten's "reason you suck" rant at Pyotr is my favorite part of this episode. How ironic that while Pyotr did manage to piss him off in a cruel mirror to their Episode 1 encounter, it just ended with him being the one overwhelmed with rage beyond reason.
"I bet you think that really pissed me off" Everything about that moment was perfectly executed, the voice acting, the actual lack of music, the silent beat before the fight started
He pissed off Kitten, but Kitten was STILL trying to enrage him into the minefield. Which eventually happened.
I prefer the fact that that hole is quite large. That would have taken quite some time to dig. So everyone's fear was unfounded. The dude would have been in the basement setting that shit up for kitten.
Honestly Kitten’s rant, Pyotr’s declaration and Door’s speech to Pyotr was absolutely fantastic
@@sealevel5961 you are forgetting that he's basically a super charged vampire now capable of tossing cars. it probably took him a minute if not less to make the whole.
Given how powerful Pyotr was by this point, I was wondering why he didn't just straight up murder them.
But later on, you realize that he is still in his coward mindset. Previously, you think all the playing around is just him being overconfident and sadistic. But really, he's paranoid and acting as if he were still pre diablerie pyotr (all that vampire experience backfiring on him). As Door said, he was too afraid to take even the smallest odds in order to win. His defeat was do to a lack of confidence, rather an excess of it, too afraid to let go of his eternal life - very vampire like indeed.
also, hes the most sadistic of the vampires. he wanted to make them helpless first, and kill them slowly
Soooooo you're saying he needed that sigma male grindset?
He had all that power
But in the end was held back by the fact that if he sliped up once and they got a good hit in, and a Stake?
Then they would leave him out for the Sun
Yeah I was just waiting for him to say some sadistic comment and then just fucking decapitate Marckus with the shovel. He chickened out of a lot of opportunities to take out at least 3/5ths of the Hunter crew.
the other issue he had, was he distracted himself with all his rantings about being the "sword of caine" and thinking himself the hottest of shits , sounds like apeboy may have gotten one last laugh on him from the inside...
See, what gets me the most is how lore accurate this all is.
Pyotr was the careful planer - he had to be, given his weak vitae after all. He could be an filthy opportunist, but his actions were led by survival logic. So why, all of a sudden he just throws cars and jumps at heavily armed people, walking into traps?
For vitae of another kindred - blood of another vampire - is beyond any drug. It elevates you and sends the Beast roaring into satisfied frenzy. Before he may had preached it, but then, high on blood, he believed he is so superior to them he does not have to concern himself with anything they might pull off. He was done for the second he stopped even entertaining, let alone consider the hunters a threat, certain of his immortality.
but he did plan. he took out their strongest first.
the car was an ambush to set up another ambush with a backup trap behind that.
he held back on just chasing kitten at first, and tossed markus at him instead to immobilize them.
he was overconfident, but only barely.
He was caught up in what was in front of him.
when kitten and marcus were immobilized, he figure he had them. same with door.
he would pin someone and assume that was it.
that is why the mines got him.
that is why boy got him.
not to mention he clearly took up some of the personality of those he diablerised - his clearly being riled up by kitten's reproach was probably shitbeard showing up, and his monologuing, sword of caine thing and fear in the face of final death are like what we've seen of ape
@@gege0298 no, that was straight up how he was. he TAUGHT that to ape. It was his own beliefs. I didn't see ANYTHING of the others in him. He wasn't even riled up by kitten, and said as much. He just calmly yeeted makus at him.
I am a total neophyte when it comes to World of Darkness lore, but does diablerization also mean you absorb the soul of the other vampire?
Like they don’t just dissipate or cease to exist, but they become a part of you and your subconscious? You could argue the other two started affecting his conscious judgment and personality too.
Correct me if I am wrong.
@@DeusExAngelo They can if you consume the blood of a stronger generation. However consuming the blood of a very strong generation might get your body jacked (As in the older Vampire you ate takes over your mind for themselves and your body taken by them)
When Pyotr said: "an angry vampire is a predictable vampire" - that was really fucking awesome. What can be scarier than a vampire, what can easily rip you into aparts, run faster than cars and climb buildings like nothing? A vampire, what can tear you apart, and smart enough to not being outsmarted by you.
Yet he got outsmarted like the dummy undead fuckboy he was
WORSE: one that actually learns from his mistakes and takes advice from others
@@andreesapissarra Especially if said others are the ones hunting him
@@andreesapissarra yeah, I forgot to say: "to not being outsmarted by you. At least TWICE."
An angry vampire is a predictable vampire.
But even angry vampires can learn.
I just realized that the reason Kitten was using those ridiculous stilts was an attempt to both draw in Pytor to the Minefield while keeping him clear of the blast and to distract the vampire from Marcus.
The plan didn't work at first because Pytor learned his lesson from Kitten, but then with Kitten calling him out and the rush of vitae in his veins, he became overconfident and fell for the trap anyway.
What makes it even funnier is that he said to himself "an angry vamp is a predictable vamp".
@@watze8245 man shoulda followed his own advice
I think he thought that hitting the two into the bus screwed up whatever plan he thought kitten had... Lol, he just didn't think to look down
@@The_Natalist yup.correctly saw it was a trap of some kind. but didnt bother to put any thought into trying to figure out what kind. "why stilts of all things?" an attempt to answer that probably woulda saved his ass. at least from the mines. im not sure at any point he woulda noticed the stalls for dawns light.
Just realized that when Pyotr is thinking his next move and muttering "an angry vampire is a predictable vampire", he is quoting what Kitten said when he staked Pyotr in the first episode.
and all that for him being predictable again when he jumped straight for door.
Guy had like so much essence flowing through his veins, i am amazed he didnt mutate from it.
@@clairelili873 I mean, he did at least throw his aim off by chucking rocks at him and throwing up a dust cloud first.
@@Subject_Keter the mutation was stealing Disciplines from his fellows. He definitely got Potence from the Brujah and the Gangrel. Given the glowing eyes? Protean 1 at the very least as well, probably 2.
@@rhorybader4054 Gangrel don't have Potence in-clan. They have Fortitude, which is probably the reason why Pyotr survived the initial encounter with the minefield. My guess is he had a little Potence already from being a nos but was just keeping it hidden for the most part, and Shitbeard just brought him up to car throwing levels.
Seems like he also got a little bit of Celerity as well from Shitbeard given he was pretty quick manuevering around the house and digging holes and the like.
There is something profoundly sad about the fact that Bikerbro/Shitbeard was kidnapped and murdered during a Blood Drive. He was a human being. He valued his education. He was interested in philosophy. He travelled. He had a hobby. He cared enough about others to donate his own blood for a good cause. And as a "reward" for that act of kindness, he was grabbed and turned into a monster - cannon fodder for a war that has been raging for more than 500 years. That little tidbit alone captures how horrible existence in the World of Darkness is. Great episode. Great writing. Great acting. This is amazing all around.
It seems like Shitbeard ascended to Heaven based on the end credits of Episode 2
You really think you have a "reroll 1" for being good? When all else is removed you will only do good because you put faith that will drive back the darkness from the world, there was never any surety, no plan, no path, just us trying so all the sparks can be enough to bring the day.
@@TheMaabusAdmiral And that brought a tear on my eye. :')
He and Kevin seem to have had something in common. Kevin was just an ordinary accountant who got caught up in something awful too. Though Big D seems to have gotten through to Kevin in some form or fashion and judging from that outfit-swap cutscene, it looks like Kevin may have a shot at redemption. (Kevin even LOOKS more put together and humanlike now, bothering to tie his hair back and trying to look decent.) Maybe someone can even find out about Golconda and tell him…if anyone WOULD know, it’s Big D given that he may be a younger version of the Emperor.
I love that the fan fic for Shitbeard in episode 2’s comment section ended up being canon for the character.
I'm actually gonna miss Pyotr as the villain. His voice acting and design were amazing and I almost wish he wasnt gone
@Doc K We MIGHT be keeping Kevin though, as the equivalent of Malcador the Sigilite. I even noticed when I went back and re-watched the first episode that even when he was fully caught up in Pyotr’s cult, Kevin ONLY did the minimum he had to, to get a meal (holding Big D at knifepoint and forcing the others back and NOT going mad slasher on everybody), when it seemed like he couldn’t control himself anymore and he was starving/the Beast was coming out. He was the Great and Mighty Kevin but he sure was damn restrained compared to the rest, especially when we’re dealing with the Sabbat.
Same he was absolutely ruthless amusing and had just enough humanity in him to need to justify his actions
Did anyone else see the date of death for the three vamps,ape was a shovelhead,sh*t beard was got at biker rally, pyotr was nabbed in a underwater welding thing(making the bit were his eyes got fryed all the funnier).
don't worry he's a great benchmark for the writing team as a example of a good villainous vampire.
Genuinely. Pyotr isn't a terribly complex character but he doesn't need to be. He's cruel, vindictive, and strong but also cunning and cautious. The Nosferatu clan helps define a lot of his powers and abilities but it also lets him look like a horror monster. You get the sense of him acting as an ambush predator, stalking his foes from a distance until he gets just the right moment to strike. And the right moment always comes, if you're patient enough... but he wasn't. If he'd stayed calm and drank from Markus, he could've lured Kitten into rushing back to kill him, avoiding the mine field entirely and putting him into a vulnerable position.
Props to Markus for bearing the torch of "Technically right, horrendous execution"

I friggin love how in the stand-off sequence between Door and Pyotr, Door is illuminated by yellow moonlight (or early sunlight?), evoking the whole thing in spaghetti westerns with duels at dawn, while Pyotr is illuminated by blue moonlight, a much more classic vampire color
Also hints at the dawn itself, which is a nice bit of foreshadowing.
Also the hunter theme is usually based around orange and yellowish colors, to mimic the sun!
It also fits really well given our favorite big yellow definitely not primarch in centurion armor.

He lives. He just had to bloodbond with a ghoul addict
Those last moments of pyotrs life just perfectly show his character. Why he didn't just outright murder the hunters. He was a coward to the very end. No amount of vampire blood can get ride of that.
Vampires often are cowards tho.
Not really a coward but he was human in the simplest way, his desire to life. It's not cowardly to desire life. Also he faced the hunters face on in the end, they outnumbered him if he was a hero this would be cunning not cowardess. In the end he is as tragic as any vampire, just with the extra topping of having diablirised his brethren, an action also easily explained by the warped morality one probably gains by becoming a vampire.
@@dariusgunter5344 The true curse of vampirism is the fact that vampires can never truly trust one another and only see each other as potential threats rather than their own kin.

“Playing God is a sometimes thing” is the most in character line regardless of Big E’s interpretation
Also another small detail to parsed from this masterpiece. Boy's quotes Pyotr after shooting him. "It'll all be over soon" is what Pyotr had said to boy in the tunnel when he had been captured.

“Today on Which Ninja, is Pyotr a ninja?!”
@@jackmack4181
Probably
Pyotr's overconfidence here really did do him in. Fresh off diablerizing his way into Celerity, Potence, and Protean, not to mention jumping two generations of blood potency probably left him feeling like a frickin' God. He was absolutely, totally, and completely unprepared for the kind of trickery that could be pulled by D's family. The mindfuck gambit of the stilts, the reason you suck speech, Door's stone-cold lecture, and the ambush snipe from Boy - all things he never considered.
Hell, he didn't even consider Boy a threat he needed to neutralize, despite the fact that Boy was brought by *a team of Hunters* to a hunting expedition. D might be certifiably mercury-licking batshit-huffing absolutely-smashed-on-DMT insane, but he's smart enough not to bring someone on a hunt unless they've got honest-to-God combat skills that meet *his* level of stringent approval. Pyotr almost learned the 'angry vampire is a predictable vampire' lesson - only to immediately forget it in the face of two badass lectures. Hell, Door just about told Pyotr to his face what he was about to do, and he still did it. The dirt-spray smokescreen was clever, but what did Pyotr do right afterward? Try to jump the goddamn mines and pounce Door, just like Door predicted.
They had Pyotr played from the moment Kitten tossed the boot at him. If Pyotr had been even half as smart as he thought he was, he would've let the boot sail down the hall, then ripped Kitten's throat out as he was sighing in relief. No stilts, no lecture, and no going outside to get exploded by mines. Kitten would be dead, Door would have to come engage Pyotr on Pyotr's terms, and once Door and Boy are dealt with, Marckus and D's fate could be decided at his leisure.
just because you heard the lesson doesnt mean you learnt anything from it eh?
@@IndigoWhiskey Yep, and Pyotr is exhibit A.
Your writing skills are amazing
@@joelvicente1052 Thank you kindly.
I think part of why Pyotr caught the boot in the door was to traumatize Kitten so that when he fell into the hole Pyotr could make a proper shovel head out of him. So I’m addition to everything you said, Pyotr’s pursuit of turning the hunters was ultimately the first step in his undoing. It was a plan that would have never succeeded and the vampires arrogance that he even could- was his end.
The first third or so where Pyotr was stalking them around the house was genuinely spine-chilling stuff. Felt like I was watching a mash-up of a comedy movie and Halloween. The bit where Kitten had to shut the office door genuinely had me sweating, as the idea of approaching an ominous dark door is one of my strongest real-world fears. Describing the sudden shift from tension to relief to shock when Big D was grabbed as tonal whiplash would be an understatement. Just wonderful stuff all around.
Very much so, but also the catch of the boot by a invisible hand was terrifying, a single moment of hesitation and precaution saved Kitten there since that likely would have been a head grab had he retreated away from the car.
its subtle in visuals but terrifying in a what might have happened kind of way.
I expected invisible Pyotr to be in the room already, but the window grab was really unexpected and damn scary. They really made a great scary episode here.
I really miss tts; but what you have created here is beyond amazing. Not a substitute but rather a masterpiece in it's own right. I genuinely can not express how entertaining this new series is and can not wait until the next episode drops already.

It's the surge in support after GW sharted him. (I was typing "shafted", but typo'd "sharted", and it fits given how awful GW has gotten to fan creators.) That support surge has allowed him to hire and pay a staff.

Kitten's speech seems so genuine and from the soul, it feels like this is reminding him of this "tragic incident" referenced by Big D
I suspect that Kitten's family died in circumstances where he had to run, and he's had survivor's guilt to an extent ever since.
THE CAPTAIN GENERAL RETURNS
@@hariman7727 I feel like it might have also involved betrayal by a relative, a family friend, or being abandoned by one or more of 'em during 'the incident' as well, considering he seems to be particularly triggered by Pyotr's _betrayal_ most of all.
Even without a tragic backstory, the fact that Kitten relies so heavily on his new family for support, and literally has to trust his life in their hands in a world where anyone could be a vampire spy, means that the bonds of trust & found-family are highly valued by him. So to see someone so easily throw such bonds away is not only inconceivable, it’s downright Repulsive to him!
With the passion...that is not canon!!!
Has anybody else noticed how Door names his tools? The rotary saw has “Bobby” printed on the side. We can tell that the shovel didn’t belong to Door though, because it says “PNDLND” (Poundland) on it. Therefore it must belong to Kitten since he’s known to shop there.
Isn't that just the name of the company that makes them? Like Philips or something but fictional

HTP lore when?
If you don't know MK, Door (Dorn) said the quote "Do you want to live forever, son?" Which some people think is a tribute to one of the greatest U.S. Marines to ever live, Daniel Daly. The actual quote by him was to rally his men to charge at an entrenched German position back in WW1 and it reads as follows, "Come on, you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?" Dude was on some shit back then given he was a two time medal of honor recipient.

@@peterbota1913 the worst enemy to encounter truly were they. even if you manage to get out alive, probably one or two members of your party are now craving blood.
there's an entire vampire clan in Vampire: The Masquerade, clan Nosferatu, that looks like this, by the way.
it's the entire clan's curse and the reason they are usually found in the sewers or tunnels; even showing oneself in public for a Nosferatu would risk breaching the Masquerade
I absolutely adore Pyotr's design. So many of the Nosferatu are, well, just slight variations upon the titular literary/cinematic character's design. But Pyotr? He stands out.
Well, not so good anymore without that leg, of course.
He looks like a MONSTER, as he should.

And for the record, should anyone be chased by vampires or have another compelling reason to jump from a 2 story building, do the following. Climb out the window and hang from the windowsill, so you are just dangling from the house by your hands in the window. This will reduce the distance that you drop and will be muuuuuch easier on your legs when landing. Will not help so much when going above 2 stories but for a short jump it'll be make it from crippling to just 'that smarts!'
If you can, land in a bush or similar. It'll still hurt, and you'll still get cuts and bruises from landing in a rose bush, but it's much better than your full bodyweight hitting your legs dead on. Better a few cuts and scrapes than a injured ankle. If you've a choice between pavement and dirt, aim for the dirt. Keep your legs bent a little as you drop, you want them to compact like you are kneeling down when you hit the ground to cushion the damage more.
Also, NEVER land on your heels.
@@perihelion1225 Why could you want to land on your heels?
Also, let your knees bend ALL THE WAY and don't be afraid to go backwards and fall flat on your ass. Your back and tailbone will smart tomorrow, but it's better than trying to stay upright, toppling forward and potentially breaking your wrist...

So this confirms that Ape was, indeed, a fresh shovelhead - Embraced only a year ago, haven't even gone through a Vaulderie yet... which says something that Pyotr liked HIM more than Shitbeard, even when the latter had Vinculum and the former didn't. In partucular, since Pyotr is heavily implied to be the Pack Priest of their group (most experienced one, commands the group, declares Monomachy), he was likely the one to have shovelheaded Ape - or, at least, approved of it, since Ape was Embraced by a Gangrel.
Was it because he saw in Ape what he saw in himself? The spirit of survival, the egoism, the wish to be The Strongest? And, on contrary, Shitbeard still missed his mortal life (much to the pack's annoyance), cited Kant, and it's even implied in the eye-catch that he participated in a charity blood drive as a mortal! No wonder Pyotr never liked him - he probably saw him as a spineless wimp, only tolerable because he was an extra body for the group and had a lower Generation.
Its a shame for Apeboy that, in the end, survival and power trumped affection for his protege. And its a shame for Pyotr that his twisted selfishness screwed him over, things probably would have gone better if they had just split Shitbeard between them so they could both go after the hunter's together.
@@mizu7662 Must have been hard for Pyotr to be leader. Thin of blood himself with a strong Tremere and Brujah that are both leaning on their human lives in the group.
@@zeppelincraft1443 Yeah, it's also worth noting that the Nosferatu are usually second class citizen even among the Sabbat, with only their fellow deformed freaks in the Gangrel and Tzimisce giving them the time of day. It's hard to say if only picking one of the group or even trying to wait things out would have been more effective honestly, one of those would leave him with half the blood, no diablerie high and the... enthusiastic Ape tagging along. The other would likely just have led to them going into torpor and Door killing them, unless the hunters eventually relented and fed them animal blood or something.
@@tartytart7560 Tzimisce are THE vampire. Pretty much Nosferatu but better. They can masquarade in the open and still maintain monster like capabilities.
The only way you can get the most if you end up being Nosferatu is that if you never cared or need to care about your apperance. Like being a exceptional hacker on the net 24 hours abusing your immortality.
@@zeppelincraft1443 Never forget that _Tzimisce_ is the clan of _Vladmir Tepes,_ the *_Red Dragon_* himself.

Is it weird that my main thought this whole time was: "And what's up with Kevin?! Where is he? What is he doing now?!"
He's a sympathetic character...
Im worried about him considering the cops and all that
i thought Kevin was the mosquito that landed on Big E's butt. Don't know if WoD vampires are capable of transforming into animals like that, though.
He looks happy in the eye catch though. Maybe he is sent to his apartment first so that the gang can meet up with him.
I legit expected Kevin to appear last minute and save them all with Thaumaturgy.
@@jurtheorc8117that’s outside the Tremere wheelhouse, unfortunately. Protean (the Kindred ability to shapeshift into things like mist or animals) is mainly the Gangrel’s exclusive Discipline.
IF people are curious about how Ape actually turned Vampiric,
He's a Shovelhead, Shovelheads are people who are knocked unconscious, Embraced, and then thrown into a mass grave.
This causes the Vampire to Frenzy and severely hallucinate, with the intended effect to completely strip them of their humanity, potentially resulting in an amnesiac or just a raving animalistic berserker.
In reality this typically just caused severely unstable vampires constantly on the verge of Frenzy which was fine as the Sabbat just used these vampires as fodder.
In Modern VTM the Sabbat don't typically do this, it still happens on occasion with very specific clans but MOST Sabbat are hyper elitist about who they embrace.
Shovelheading has typically also been a tool of War for the Sabbat. A way to quickly amass conscripts to use as cannon fodder against their foes, with any survivors of said bad odds being grudgingly accepted as proper Sabbat (eventually), though they never let them forget their origins.
Presumably, the crusade was in need of troops quite recently within the story, with Ape being the sole survivor out of however many people were shoveled that night (that we know of). That's quite a risky action for a cold war, so it would seem that it's rather warmer than it might first appear.
The vampires in VTM can embrace human dead bodies? The description said Pyotr died drowned as a undersea welding worker.
@@davidfrancisco3502 Died as in "embraced". When you're turned into a Vampire, your body dies, but you live on as undead. Kevin in the 2nd audiolog explains it pretty well. Your heart ceases beating, your skin is cold from lack of blood flowing, etc.
@@davidfrancisco3502 All vampires die, because the process starts with them being completely exsanguinated. They can also embrace fairly recent corpses once they've sucked out all the blood as well, but that doesn't always work and usually results in a completely fucked-up vamp as their soul is ripped from the afterlife and glues back into their body.
@@davidfrancisco3502 Nah, You're knocked unconscious, and while unconscious "Embraced" which results in your "Death" afterwards you are buried before waking up.
I won't say that I love Boy's emotional reaction to shoot Pyotr, but I find it especially amazing. With all the badassery and madness of the adults surrounding him, Boy is still only eleven years old. He has never been confronted with death is such a fashion - even the cameras had the impersonal wall between him and the slaughter. To be the one to shoot and - for all intents and purposes - kill a being that could appear so human would rattle anyone not used to it, especially a child his age. He panics - shaking with a stuttering voice and tears in his eyes - as he tries to come to grips with what he has done. Pyotr was a monster, but a man all the same.
Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it.
Magnificent, I can't wait for the next arc.
Nah, you've got it right. Boy is a child soldier, and this war is going to take a toll on him.
I genuinely hope this was their intention
Big D is involved so I am not surprised
And yet, just a minute later: “I shot a bitch! :D “
Except he was not. Pyotr renounces his humanity at every turn, reveling in the vileness of what he has done, and what he yet plans to do to future victims. Did you not listen to his speech? His is a very Nietzchean, "might makes right" mentality. Just because is man shaped, does not make it man. Even at the tender age of eleven, having witnessed the atrocities this thing has committed, I think deep down Boy realizes that what he is dealing with is not human, and thus should feel little compunction in doing what needs to be done
Door is a badass for staring Pyotr down like that and trusting his son so heavily. Loved that whole moment
I must say he probably a veteran demoman thats tasked with garrisoning area of strategic importanve
@@dc-101 probably in his mining days. He definitely set all the mines too
For those who dont know vampire the masquerade lore, there is a cool reason Pyotr left the hunters alive.
In the Sabbat there are recuitts called shovelheads, who were turned by being beaten unconscious (often with a shovel) turned and then buried alive. This traumatizes the new vampires and causes them to immediately awaken the "beast".
This is why Pyotr dug a big whole that was shallow enough for kitten to climb out off. He didn't want to kill any hunters, just beat them until he can turn them and bury them alive
Excellent explanation.
Pyotr seemed sure that Kitten was stuck, so I think Kitten showed a little more physical ability than expected by getting out of that hole.

I just realize.:
Door speech was to slow down and distract Pytor from the Sun begining to rise (hinted by the faint sunbeam at 11:48), he planned 3 steps ahead.:
- Get Pyotrs atention and shoot him back into the mines if he jump, while making sure Boy isnt spotted and prepares himself.
- Have the Demo-suit on to slow Pytors attack if he missed the shot (and possibly Die from injuries).
- Have Boi shoot Pyotr while hes mid-air or on Door back into the Mines to slow him down further because He plays with his food and would've likely taunt Boy once he spots him after brutalizing Door.

I am convinced that in a moment of panic, Marcus shot himself accidentally when grabbing the Gun.
100% canon and not even Alfabusa can convince me otherwise
Considering that it was a revolver, and it wasn't cocked when Door dropped it (Door being competent with gun safety and doing the best with a bad situation,) meaning Marcus had to have panicked some. And then that is why Door invited Marcus to the range, to get Marcus trained on how to properly use a gun. Yes, I consider this head canon.
@@magosryzak7477 I mean it could have been an old single action, but then it raises the question of why Door didn’t have it resting on an empty cylinder.

So it has to be a single action revolver. Which has 6 chambers for 5 rounds. Because having toes is important.
I like that little touch of humanity; of Boy tearing up just a bit. Yeah, he had to and Pyotr was an unrepentant murderer but it shows that Boy still feels something about it. That lad needs a hug and a big 'ol slice of venison cake. Also the theory that he was a feral child is making more and more sense considering the cut-in from last time and his love of venison. Also, glad to see Big D and Kevin chumming it up even if Big D doesn't trust him enough to take the manacles off yet. The Great and Mighty Kevin actually cleans up fairly decent.
I feel like Boy might be just as much of an undocumented Iraq war bring-back as that EOD suit and probably at least half of Door's illegal-in-Britain firearms.
@@TiernanWilkinson ....oooh that's a good theory too. Now, this takes place BEFORE the Second Inquisition so I doubt Door was part of any ops to wipe out Vamps specifically but I can still see him encountering one that wiped out his unit potentially. Maybe even killed Boys birth family.
He certainly looks like he got hold of a brush.
And he actually looks… kind of happy?
I love it.
Not to mention the fact that if he didn’t then Pyotr would of most likely killed Door and him, so that’s probably a shit load of pressure and stress lifting off him at once
@@otakon17 How do you know that? The term "blankbody" was popularized during the Second Inquisition.
HTP has been my favorite project to write for, and I think this is the strongest episode of our first three.
I hope you guys enjoy! Fear the Sword of Caine!
Can't wait. I'm enjoying this thoroughly, I feel like leaving the 40kverse behind was actually beneficial to these characters, as they feel more defined and strong here than the 41st millennium ever allowed them to be.
Oh, I’m sitting fearfully at the edge of my seat! I cannot wait to see this arc concluded!
Hopefully you enjoyed voice acting for it just as much. Big D is _gloriously_ bonkers and an absolute joy to listen to.
Door was badass.
Pyotr was badass.
Eerything was badass.
And hilarious.
And terrifying.
It was amazing.
Well done.
Please keep them coming, and the audio logs are just as good as full episodes when you work nights like I do and need something entertaining to listen to.
The Stilts and Marcus freaking out about Kitten walking towards the bus seemed so random until the landmines.
What great retroactive storytelling.
I can't wait to see Kittens hoodie come off to show he's in literal peak physical condition
Oh crap! Marcus wasn't angry at Kitten running away to leave them, he was scared Kitten might trip the mines and hurt himself! Agh these 2 are too good for each other. Romcon podcast between them when Alfa?
Not quite what I expected when Door kept mentioning his old... "mining" days. 11/10 exceeded my expectations and dear god that speech!
"You wanna live forever son?" - Door
Love how Pyotr's actions in the prior episodes that seem like small things were actually extremely well thought out.
I was thinking: Why stilts in a minefield? Kitten could take larger steps and avoid the mines, if he knew where they were. And of course, kitten has a near perfect memory, meaning he was the only one who could have navigated the minefield without tripping a mine!. EXCELLENT characterization Alfabusa!
I don't understand why they told Marcus to crawl towards the road through the minefield.
@@illiaboiko7354 my guess?
So Pyotr would hear them say it, and therefore presume the frontyard is safe.
@@illiaboiko7354 Honestly does seem like a plot hole, although Markus did know about the mines, so maybe they expected he would crawl around the lawn?
@@illiaboiko7354 The stone paved road is probably safe, it's not easy to plant explosives under solid rock and it's the usual road they take when entering/leaving the house. Kitten intentionally took the route across the lawn so Pyotr would follow him to where he wanted.
@@Crossbow1712 Probably a con to make Pyotr think there was nothing wrong with the lawn. The whole hunter crew was playing 5D speedchess from the start with their communications, including "mining" equipment being an order from Door to lure Pyotr there.
I will be perfectly honest, I held off on watching Hunter: The Parenting for a LONG time after it released. The first minutes felt like it'd just be the Throne Room troupe in another world chatting up a storm, being slightly more quirky. (I somehow hadn't made the connection to WoD with the naming scheme)
But the moment Pyotr showed his face I was all the way in that bitch. I make no exaggerations when I say that you guys are masterful storytellers. HtP is funny, endearing, unnerving and beyond all that, seriously engaging. Don't let the cunts at GW keep you down you magnificent bastards

*Spoilers*
On a second watch a lot of things make sense:
0:51 I imagine that is Peter leaving the house to go set his trap in the carport, giving the Hunters time to plan (and in Markus' case good-up).
0:55 Nice to see Door took the picnic table from the cave, no good reason to waste it after all! He even tried to repair it!
1:30 In Markus' defense his logic is sound, but the way he went about it was terrible.
2:24 You would think that with Door being the main advocate for Marcus to get a gun, he would follow the first rule of gun safety better. That being to keep your safety on.
3:34 Presumably that's the sword from the first audio log.
4:33 This scene in particular shows off Peter's new found power. Not only was he able to throw a car, as mention by Big D in the audio log, he managed to quickly, and silently, make it back into the house to Kittens position.
4:50 Cat doormat. Its cute.
5:23 The abbreviation on the shovel, 'PNDLND,' likely stand for 'Pound Land' which could be the 99p store mentioned in the first audio log.
5:28 *FurryRun* If you know, you know. (I'm sorry.)
5:35 Naruto run.
5:48 What he meant is that the stilts would come in handy to cross the minefield, having likely got them to help avoid any accidental detonation and give a better view of the mines.
6:12 Markus isn't concerned that he is being abandoned by his fiancé, but is trying to warn him about the mines.
6:30 I imagine that Kittens plan was to lure Peter into the minefield, and not in fact abandon his faimly.
7:21 Who ever wrote this clever piece of word play, please give them a cookie!
8:43 From the tone of Peter's voice its clear that he was, in fact, pissed off.
9:32 The outlines of the mines are finally visible.
10:36 The tag on the suit says "U.S. Army EOD" which means we can safely assume Door was part of a bomb squad. Or at least, has access to the U.S. army's surplus gear. I frankly find it more likely that Door was part of some U.S. operation around 2004, when SchreckNet was compromised by the NSA, reveling to secret agencies the existence of Vampires and giving rise to the Second Inquisition. In truth, Door was likely a member of FIRSTLIGHT or USSOCOM and could have feasibly taken part on their raid of Vienna, which as the time had the greatest concentration of vampire activity. This is supported by his use of the term 'blankbody,' which refers to the low body temperature of vampires which gives away their true nature. If true that would make Door the second most experienced hunter of the group, only behind Big D.
12:11 Dirty Door.
13:04 How very responsible of Door! Giving his son ear protection for when he fires the gun! Tinnitus is no joke people!
13:05 Boy never forgets, and never forgives... He clear has taken a page from his father's book.
13:28 You can just hear the fatherly pride ooze from Doors voice! He really is proud of his son.
14:19 Markus, as he did indeed blackout, does in fact have a concusion.
14:35 Boy's use of 'thing' shows that he clear has understood what his father meant by blankbodies not being people.
15:14 Brotherly bonding at its finest!
15:35 Its good too see that Boy's diet still allows him to partake in other foods (so long as they involve meat). It also seems that venison is Boy's favorite.
15:58 That's just in poor taste, Markus.
The more I watch this series, the more I become certain that this is just Boy's backstory for how he becomes the worlds greatest Hunter.
You forgot the scene where rhey show kevin.
He's the fly that lands on Big D's butt.
If you look closely, you can see the little blue wizard's hat on it's head.
Would explain how he was able to slip out constantly without his packmates, especially the Nosferatu and the Gangerel noticing.
@@AnshumanKantiBose god I hope he slipped into D's pocket or something
You're insights are pretty interesting to read. Please keep it coming. Stay healthy. Ps.: @06:05 When Markus is "distracted" by the stilts, he refers to Kittens "Packet".
Looking at the gun that Door tossed to Markus, it resembles a revolver. I am no armorer or gunsmith, but I know enough about guns that it shouldn’t of gone off at all. I don’t know if Door would follow the old tried and true revolver form of safety, which is leaving the hammer on an empty chamber. Because if he did, then Markus would be entirely fine and Door seems the type to take weapon safety seriously.
@@d.petrovic9721 Indeed, very true. Which is why I mentioned leaving the hammer on an empty chamber, because the only way it would’ve gone off is if Door completely loaded all 6 chambers.
To whoever animated Pyotr: Your facial expressions and transitions were superb.
I look forward to watching your team grow with new episodes!
THANK YOU
oh shit its karl
