After a while of liking and rebloging kcd2 stuff, tumblr starts to show me things from my other fandoms :( its like its saying plz stop
Hans spread out on the bed, exhausted yet satisfied. Beside him, Henry was staring at him, shaking his head in disappointment. Hans rolled his eyes, pointing at him.
"Don't look at me like that. What was I supposed to say?"
"I don't know, Hans," Henry grumbled, rubbing a hand over his face in frustration, "but if my wife just walked in on me in bed with my serf, I'd come up with something better to say than 'oh, I knew there was someone we forgot to invite to the threesome!'"
Hans scoffed, rolling onto his side to face Henry, "yes and if my lord's wife had caught me shagging said lord, I probably would've stopped doing so," he fell onto his back again, his arms folded in a sulk, "so you can get off your high horse."
After a moment's silence, Henry nodded, "aye, that's fair."
relativity falls but fidd is a member of the losers club or something
To any kcd and hansry enjoyers coming across this post who have seen kcd only in English, I need you to know what you're missing.
Hans Capon is in Czech called Jan Ptáček
Jan has a few name variations in Czech, each less formal (and each more unserious, in my opinion). Like if you're called Jan that's on you IDs etc, but your family and friends might just call you Honza, if you prefer it
The Jan scale goes from Jan > Honza > Jenda > honorable mention Janek, but I'm not sure if this variant is relevant right now
And guess what, Henry calls Hans by these variations, which is so precious to me. Yes, Hans is a noble and yes, Henry refers to him as his lord, but he also calls him Jenda, which is very much giving village boy energy, Jenda the stable boy or something. I think it really shows, on another level, how familiar and close they are with each other, and how the relationship shifts in kcd2, how Hans is becoming Henry's closest first, his lord second, how they are on the same level now, in comparison with kcd1, where they tiptoe in some dialog options around Henry keeping his distance and Hans encouraging him to treat him less formally and rewarding when Henry actually talks back.
Side note, I'm glad at least Henry has available name variant in English people who know him use, as well as in Czech (Jindřich and Jindra – Henry and Hal)
And a cherry on top, the situations when Henry uses a less formal variant of Hans' name are rare, but one of those situations that I've seen in someone else's playthrough was specifically the march to Nebakov turned ambush. When you're attacked and fight back you get periodically prompted to follow Hans and defend him, but if you can't find him, Henry will call out and use Jenda variant. And when Hans gets knocked out and Henry finds him in dirt before facing Žižka, he kneels down to him and calls him Jan, then Ptáček, and when nothing seems to work, he calls him Honza. Which makes me think this is something Henry's mind does when everything goes to shit and he's desperate and the closest person he has left and who he loves is in danger and so he reaches, asking Hans to come back to him, not as a noble with unfinished responsibilities, but simply as his Honza.
And I'm totally normal about that.
Beside all of this
I adore Tom McKay's voice and performance, but also Richard Wágner is so good as Henry, and, his words not mine, his Henry sounds much more sillier, which is a delight. And this is such a Czech-specific appreciation, but kcd2 has many iconic Czech actors and it's honestly so amusing to both see and hear them in a video game.
you're the worst scene but it's relativity falls au

Leyendecker's Honeymoon: Hansry edition.
notes:
- Trucy and Apollo know they're siblings here
- Trucy has known ever since meeting him (because of the bracelet)
- takes place months after SOJ dlc but there are NO spoilers past AA4
- also excuse the sketchiness and my bad handwriting >_> (bad hand days)
Hope you enjoy! ♡
I just want to say how much I love how anime writers came up with the idea of a Signal Samurai and the idea of showing the trio as children. Now Miles' obsession with Steel Samurai is not only a funny trait of the seemingly serious and cruel prosecutor but also his escape to a happy childhood with his friends. I remember one post (or comment?) where the author interpreted Phoenix's keychain being more worn as a sign that he wears his heart on his sleeve, while Miles' is treasured because he's afraid to open up to other people and keeps his heart on lock. But then Miles starts wearing his keychain everywhere and isn't afraid to show it off no matter how embarrassing it is and it's a sign of him healing and becoming a better person. I really like this theory and although know it won't happen, I would love to see the Signal Samurai in the games.
