the worst thing about writing or any kind of craft is having an idea you're really excited to make a reality but then you sit down and realize how much work it's going to take to get to that point and suddenly you feel like those two little gay guys in the mountain in the lord of the rings

It's just one hour before our life in the 21st century ends and the epic medieval adventure begins.

I'm gonna dissappear from the internet for a while because I want to play it on first feel without any spoilers. So enjoy the game everyone, I'll be back once I finish the main story.

Story time!

I was asked about the story behind this photo, so this is for you @troublemakingrebel

There was an event in cooperation with the Czech company Smarty and Warhorse. We weren't there as the main characters, we were just in the background of an advertising video. (You can see me dying there gracefully.)

We brought the costumes because we were thinking that before the actual shooting, we could do something cool when our larp group was there and we had more people. In the end, few things messed up, we lost a wheel of our car on our way there, the rest of our group arrived late, and many people we brought costumes for had totally different measurements than we expected, so most of our free time we spent panicking and searching for different costumes. When we finally got a while for ourselves, we had a few minutes of light left. We took the poster photo and went doing the thing we came for. So sadly we don't have any more photos. But I think this one turned out amazingly.

First of all, thank you so much for sharing your work with us. The way you write Hans is excatly how I headcanon him as a lover: Very tender and constantly making heart eyes at Henry. Haven't had the chance to get KCD2, unfortunately, but I'm buzzing with excitement. Are you planning on writing KCD2 fics?

ahh thanks for the sweet ask!!! anon love jumpscare 🥺 i'm in the same boat as you. i haven't gotten the chance to play KCD2, but whenever i do, i'm quite likely to write more of them indeed :)

in the meantime, i've been working on something else. i won't spoil too much since i won't publish it in another little while, but it's a post-canon series of vignettes taking a look into the possible relationship between henry and hynek capon, hans's son. it's a bit different, quite angsty, and overall probably not what my hansry readers subscribed to me for lmao, but it's shaping up quite well and i want to develop myself as a writer in areas that aren't just fluff and smut, as fun as that is :P

thank you for the ask!!

hey sexy what time do you plan on being done grieving

This little Cuman gremlin is actually Theresa from previous photos, believe it or not.

*Hans insulting his kidnappers vividly.*

Cumans: "If only we understood Czech."

Henry's last braincell: Must defeat the knot!

Bombastic side eye

Stoned Cuman looking at his hand like he has never seen it before.

"Will you marry me?"

"Jesus Crist, Henry! Could you ask AFTER you untie me?!"

When you are trying to get your drunk frient into bed without anyone noticing you.

But you are equally drunk.

Hans' fall brought out Henry's dance moves.

Accurate depiction of how their way back to Rattay looked like.

And that's all! This was our recreation of The Prey mission. Thank you for all your kind words and love.

all we have to do is deliver a letter to lord otto von bergow and ride back again, so i wouldn't expect much excitement there.

It's not even about the vindication of calling a ship, okay. It's that the supposedly anti woke studio wrote about 3 million words of medieval fiction centering the relationship of the two main characters who are in most ways (or in all ways if you follow the obvious canon momentum of the story) meant for each other, as counterparts who help each other survive the great travails of their lives who challenge/complete the other to become fuller, braver, kinder people. It's so clear these two people are soulmates, platonically or romantically, something observed consistently by the world around them and by themselves.

Except their society (feudalism, Catholicism) dictates that they are intended to be completely incompatible by nature and divine law. Not just for the obvious fact they are both men, but they are separated by what is arguably an even steeper chasm of social class. Their existence even as friends utterly spites, interrupts, and threatens feudal order right down to its theological and philosophical roots. They should not see each other as human and yet.

The fact that they do. The fact that the entire story has been about this--that these two protagonists fit together, undeniably, and grow to love each other fiercely (a love that deepens superbly from their knee-jerk playful puppy-friend-love in kcd1 to something selfless and mature by the end of kcd2). And they do so despite the immense opposition by their world, their social circles, their faith, and indeed their fandom.

And yes, it really does fucking matter that all of this culminates into a deep onscreen romantic love (if you get out of the way and allow it to) between two fandom-beloved male main characters (not just side characters rammed in for an optional gay romance but THE main characters of the duology; the "you" as in the player character and your erstwhile dick-jokes bro you have perhaps grudgingly at first been invited as the audience to love) in a historical fiction story that has been wrongly touted by the worst of our contemporaries as the holy grail of cultural conservatism.

Holy shit. Warhorse -- y'all. I'm sorry I doubted you. So few game writers understand how love and indeed how people work, let alone translate it so well onto the screen.

This is, sincerely, groundbreaking storytelling in this medium and this genre. How fucking cool that we all got to see it now.

Do not go gentle into that good knight. He likes to be fucked much harder than that.

As I way to distract myself from the fact that i have to wait another day for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 to be released I was basically thrown out of my month long Art Block and decided to draw my best boy Mutt! This is also the first ever KCD fanart i have ever made (i think), thats crazy...
