TTS Short : Squats Reborn

  • Опубліковано 28 сер 2021
  • This is an official TTS short. It was meant to be released on Alfabusa's channel, however the whole IP fiasco came when this was 99% done. So, it is to be released on this channel as specifically suggested by Alfabusa himself.
    In a better universe, this would be released on Alfa's channel as normal. However this is the universe we got.
    Thank you to everyone who has supported us.

    When the whole IP fiasco dropped, this was so close to being finished, I simply couldn't let the mountain of work people have put into this, go to waste.
    It's released here since I am not monetized and thus still within the line of the current IP policy.
    However it is still the last one for a long time.
    Please enjoy.

      You know, given the description of Haggis (I'm guessing Baggis is meant as a 41st century pronunciation of it, since many other common things now sound a bit different), I'm really not surprised it's a managed to survive into the grimdark future. It's basically offal (animal organs, in this case the heart, lungs, and liver of a sheep) mixed with a bit of hard fat from the loins and kidneys (also sheep), minced with onions, oatmeal, spices, and bone broth, and traditionally cooked while encased in the animal's stomach. A few older recipes also utilized the animal's blood as well. The result is a sort of meaty pudding.
      I've heard Haggis is pretty good though (haven't had the chance to try any myself), so despite its rather unsavory description people probably won't be too unhappy with ample Baggis rations in the Imperium. Hell, similar dishes have existed around the world using animal organs cooked in a stomach, likely because such leftovers were immediately available after a successful hunt and could be prepared without carrying any cookware since the stomach contains it, so it's a fairly traditional human dish, the Scottish version seeming to be the most popular one.
      I'm sure the traditional pairings of Haggis would also be welcome, those being mashed turnips/rutabagas, mashed potatoes, and a glass of Scottish whiskey.

    I'm convinced that canon-wise, the Squats were still a part of the Imperium for a very long time, but the Mechanicus have been diligent in deleting/altering records of them b/c the Squats were the only other group within the Imperium that could reliably build, fix, and occasionally innovate on technology and therefor they were hereteks.

      Honestly I’d believe that the Imperium would declare them all dead and forget about them simply for being abhuman. Just strike them from Imperial Records. Really their entire culture spits in the face of the Imperium. They were inventors and tinkerers. That would piss off the Mechanicus, they are Abhuman which many parts of the Imperium doesn’t like and they did fine and dandy on their own. Even the Orks made a peace deal with them because they weren’t fun to fight and Eldar thought them more trouble than their worth. The Squats owned everyone and if they were disowned by the Imperium and left to hopefully die out or fade into obscurity then The Squats would make their own Empire which probably functions a lot better than most of the Empires known because they actually have their shit together.

      It's also I believe an unsubtle but very bloody refreshing commentary on how various writers over the years and even much of the fandom has steadily tried to defend the Imperium's ridiculously grimdark regime, its horrible practices, unironically trying to rationalize its irrationality to the point of justifying or validating one the literal worst institutions to have ever been conceived by fiction. It's one thing to like the Imperium's style as a tabletop player or really playing on any kind of gaming platform or genre these days. (the hordes of trash spinoff games based on Warhammer 40K not withstanding)
      But to go so far as to feel personally attacked whenever someone points out how unnecessary alot of the imperium's policies and actions are as an organization kinda misses the frickin point of it all, ofcourse it's all stupid, over-the-top, unnecessary evil, *the Imperium is both a figuratuve and literal parasite that's been feeding on much of humanity's collective suffering for over 10 mellinia,* it's completely defunct and that's partly why it's SO interesting. The Imperium is indeed responsible for making much (if not most..) of this hell of a grimdark reality for itself and its citizenry, *its not entirely the fault of Chaos plots or some xenos shenanigans for why things are so shit, (the Imperium has its lion's share to bare)* alot of the time for many innocent people in-universe, because its an objectively awful, abusive, zealous promoting, coldly callous, neglectful, infuriatingly self-aggrandizing oppressive regime.
      And this is coming from someone that absolutely loves playing Imperium and loves alot of its aesthetics, and even lore! You can call out something like the Imperium's totally unnecessary evils and why its a objectively horrible institution without being seen unironically as some out of universe *"heretic"* to certain fans within a beloved franchise.

      @@ValeTheOwl It's sometimes joked that 40K doesn't have Space Skaven, because the Imperium of Man already occupies the same mechanical and thematic space. A corrupt, sprawling civilization whose population breeds extensively in overcrowded hives, and whose lives are considered worthless save as slaves or fodder. All with specialized subfactions devoted to different areas of expertise or ethos: Clan Skryre (AdMech), Clan Verminous (Imperial Guard), Clan Pestilens (Sisters of Battle, Ecclesiarchy), Clan Eshin (Assassins), etc. All engaged in infighting and subject to the whims of a ruthless ruling council.

      Heck, Chaos wasn't even a factor in the 40K game at the start. It got ported in later. From the outset, the problems of the 40K universe almost entirely arose from the singularly awful Imperial system. Different forces within the Imperium fought each other due to administrative errors.

      From what I understand they used to inhabit a bunch of high-gravity mineral-rich worlds near the galactic core collectively called the Homeworlds which they heavily fortified and defended with tech at least on Imperial level and sometimes a bit better. Combine that with their distinct lack of dumb tech restrictions because Machine God and similarly distinct lack dumb Emperor worship and it seems like a pretty decent faction to exist in. Granted they still practice hereditary monarchy and have an aristocratic class, but hey they survived the Age of Strife on their own so we can't expect them to be completely based.

Still doesn't explain how they were quietly gobbled up by the Tyranids seemingly overnight and without the rest of the Imperium really giving a damn despite the sheer quantity lost of raw resources, technology, and manpower the loss of the Squat Homeworlds represents.

      @@ancientscion2381 Well in various fantasy settings including warhammer fanatasy, engineering and technological innovation does seem to be a thing dwarfs have an inherent knack for. Considering Cawl's already been commiting tech heresy for a while and getting away with it mostly thanks to him being slick as an oil margarita while navigating mechanicus internal politics, I imagine he would have some respect for squat engineers, even if they don't believe in the omniasiah.

      @@7ElevenTruther it’s not really tech heresy since such a concept is degrading for them to have.
      Unless it involves warp stuff now that’s tech heresy

    I love the idea of Squats making their own rival empire.
    They dissapeared because they didn't give a shit about the emperium and just grinded power in a lonely corner of the galaxy.

    Thank you for this. Even since gw went all horus and bit the hand that fed them, its been dark times. But you guys bring some light and levity with the odd little releases like this. I hope you continue to work on TTS without releasing so that when gw comes to its senses or is over thrown you guys can release what youve worked so hard on... But i also want to see you guys branch out into new stuff, and see where your creative genius takes you. I know you guys will be able to turn anything you touch into gold, and i look forward to it.
