Thinking about Hans keeping 'The Ghost' nickname and going out on more stealth/assassin missions with Henry :3
liking someone platonically is so embarrassing like. yeah i admire you. yeah i think about you all the time. yeah i look forward to every time i see you even if it's only for a minute. yeah it's all platonic and yeah i couldn't explain this because it'd sound romantic. fucking hell

"Papa?" Heinrich sat up in bed, clutching his little toy wooden duck, "what happened after uncle Henry fell off the cliff?"
"I brought him to a local herb woman," Hans said simply, sitting beside his son on the bed, "she saved his life."
Heinrich frowned, confused, "oh. That's not how uncle Henry sees it."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you carried uncle Henry through the woods. He was really hurt and talking nonsense," Heinrich explained enthusiastically, "you kept him sane and alive. You're a hero, Papa! A brave knight!"
Hans chuckled, shaking his head, "I didn't do anything Henry wouldn't have done for me."
"Does that mean uncle Henry isn't a hero?" Heinrich asked, lying back down onto the bed. Hans folded his arms thoughtfully.
"No. Of course not."
Heinrich smiled sleepily, "so why is it different for you? You can be a brave knight, too."
Hans just smiled softly, brushing his son's hair from his face as he drifted off to sleep. He found Henry by the fire, pouring them a goblet of wine each. He took one gratefully, sipping at it thoughtfully as he sat with Henry.
"You've been telling him fairy tales again," Hans murmured, staring into the fire, "of brave knights and heroes."
Henry chuckled, nudging his lord, "nah, I don't believe in fairy tales. I only told him the truth."
"Thank you, Henry," he reached across, gripping Henry's knee, "you're my hero, too."
dear people with OCD: the next time you have spiraling & intrusive thoughts, what-ifs, or catastrophizing scenarios, I am sending a cardigan-wearing 46-year old NYU professor directly into your brain and he says "Aaaaand scene!!!" and he claps his hands slowly. and he says "Wow. Wow. Powerful stuff. Evocative imagery. A little bit post-modern, a little bit hysterical realism in the vein of Don Delilo but let's pause right here." and you will recognize your thoughts as a perplexing avant-garde film shown to an audience of 15 liberal arts students who are now trying to get a good grade and sleep with their professor.

Sooooo unserious
this has probably been done before but i was bored so it exists now
i also really like the way vinland saga depicted slavery. there's a frankly disturbing amount of anime out there (especially isekai ones) that tend to depict slavery as something awful, yes, but only if you're a bad person. like... what if you were to become a slave master but you were really niceys to your slaves? 🥺 and they all liked you?? 🥺🥺🥺 then surely that would be okay, because YOU wouldn't be cruel, right???
it almost looked like vinland was going that route with ketil at the start of the farmland saga, since he was, comparatively, one of the 'better' slave owners, but they completely destroy that notion by the end of it, especially highlighting the difference in treatment between male and female slaves through arnheid. there's just no dancing around it: slavery is always an inhumane practice, regardless of the personal morality of the slave owner in question
