The thing about the KCD2 romance paths is it really kind of feels like Katherine is too busy being a spy and wrangling Zizka like a cat for Henry to even register as a long term romantic partner for her (and that’s without the added context of her Tragic Backstory), Rosa probably would marry Henry if he wasn’t a bastard but she knows she can’t, and so they have one bittersweet night together with the understanding that it isn’t meant to be, and then Hans is like. “Hey Henry, let’s do our best to delay my upcoming arranged marriage as long as possible in some place more private, and then after that you’ll still be my loyal squire that I would die if anything happened to, right?”

One of my Top Five Favorite things about Henry of Skalitz gotta be his stupid face when he Acts Like A Noble for his “Do You Know Who I Am?” Charisma check. You just know he’s doing an impression of Hans.

Th-they called him Anthony Head b. Because I. I wanted to give him sorry I wanted to give him hea… h—I’m sorry this isn’t appropriate right now.

Joking over I do think that it is worth addressing that 90% of “queerbaiting” is just jokes where queerness (especially between men) is the punchline. JD and Turk weren’t like that on Scrubs to draw in queer viewership, they were like that because the joke was that they were abnormally close for male friendship at the time and haha that’s gay. A lot of examples of “queerbait” are just homophobic jokes from that era of “comedy” that were designed to enforce the idea that men shouldn’t care about each other on anything deeper than a surface level lest they be subject to ridicule. Some people have tried to reclaim these jokes as hints of queerness but that was never their intended purpose. One of the most frequently cited examples of “queerbait” that falls under this brand of jokes is Sherlock’s “one for you, and for your date.” The punchline is them being mistaken for being on a date, and you can reclaim that moment by saying “actually they are <3” but analysis of baiting has to first acknowledge that the intent was always a punchline, not a hint.
