i finally finished KCD1 π i am kinda sad to see it go though. theres really just something about kcd1 henry :']
im having a lot of fun with 2~ i feel very spoiled by it... it improves on what i already thought was an amazing game and all the interactions are sooooo cute. i squealed when there was a prompt to pray for hans... what a shock... and how delicious >:]
also the first sketch is weird quality i had to save it from my priv twitter cus it got deleted lololol
i'm losing my mind. in the good way this time
express feelings and emotions in the most familiar way
babygirl doing all the heavy lifting for that honour
fey & co. law offices
maybe i'll do more ace attorney location isometric rooms? but only if there's no FUCKING bookshelves bc those took forever. thank you to @persep0nee19 for listening to me agonize over that couch and complain about drawing a million gazillion books! but i had a lot of fun thinking about the office when it was still mia's, and how proud she must've been to start her own firm and everything :,)
back on my bullshit
I no lifed KCD 2 in the last 5 days. I actually can't believe they added a Hans romance and I will never shut up about it. I wanted them together since the first game and the dopamine i got from that last scene is wild.
My little knights :,)

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 PtΓ‘Δek
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 (JindΕich and Jindra β 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 Ε½iΕΎka, he kneels down to him and calls him Jan, then PtΓ‘Δek, 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 WΓ‘gner 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.
robot au that i started for my own selfish reasons and now i kinda have a story for? adding previous drawings so it can all be together.
explanation of the au below ig?
ok time for me to be completely transparent with you all, i just like robots, ford is one of my fav characters, fiddleford is engineer, boom gay robot story. it took me a while to actually think of a kinda "story" for this au, it still kinda doesn't have one, very much just a concept and aesthetic. just one rewatch of Ghost in the Shell made me want to come back to this.
but the long and short of it is: setting: future? robotically advanced 1980s? si-fi robotic future with a 1980s aesthetic over it.
STAN-13Y (stan) and STAN-F0RD (ford) were made ~30 years ago, they were both malfunctions in the eyes of their creators. stan with his programing and ford with his misprint (an extra finger on both hands). they were made for one purpose, to make millions helping the world. while ford pursued that goal since his programing was seemingly "normal", stan was thrown out for "not having any use for his program". but ford was a lot more human then people let on, only feared that those emotions he was feeling was another malfunction just like his brother. he kept it in. eventually he went off to continue his studies on his own (was trusted to do so). on the way he found B1LL a program he trusted to be downloaded into his own, it was in fact a virus. And a trusted engineer he met that works for his creators company, fiddleford mcgucket.
now heres a screenshot of a pinterest board thats the kinda vibe i was trying to go for
little scared to post this cause i feel it might be cringe but WHATEVER!!!! IM HAVING FUN!!!!
