The Collection

[ID copied from alt: illustration of Olruggio from Witch Hat Atelier. He is without his hat and cloak, holding a circle of paper with a fire spell activated. He holds it in front of him at chest height, his arm extending slightly out towards us. His torso twists back a little as his other arm extends back, elbow bent to bring his other hand forward and have his palm face the paper he holds in his other hand. His wand is being held between 2 fingers on this raised hand. A fire spell trails from the paper to his open palm. Within the shapes of the flame is a single star. He is facing the paper and has his head slightly tilted down, eye's closed and brows furrowed in concentration. End ID]

hansry is sometimes misrepresented by fans as a lord x knight romance when in actuality henry is of much lesser status and i think that dynamic is equally intriguing if not more. while henry could in theory be MADE a knight for his service over the course of the games, his bio father may be a knight, and he is kind of in something like military service to his lord, he is a commoner. so the power imbalance that (coupled with the sense of devotion) makes the lord x knight dynamic so intriguing is even more pronounced, especially in intensely hierarchical medieval society. hans isn't treating another member titled, landed elite like an equal behind closed doors, not letting another lord into his bed. he's letting the village blacksmith's son - who, as of a few months ago, was illiterate, had no formal education, had (to his knowledge) nothing beyond a passing secondhand business relationship with the nobility, and no expectations of ever leading a life more complicated than marrying a girl from skalitz and spending his days making horseshoes- into his bed, and his confidence. That Hans sees Henry as something like his equal, in some way, as shown when telling Henry about Galehaut and Lancelot, is soooo. first of all, improper. second of all 😏

star trek heritage post (March 14th, 2025)

I think the hot new trends for this summer should be reading comprehension and critical thinking skills

Oh, to be a little kitten who just got vaccinated and then taken to a high-end restaurant and tasted the best food the chefs could offer and then fell asleep in a basket.

btw it is sexy and cool to uplift and admire people who have skills you wish you had without using their ability as a stick to beat yourself with. even and especially if you are jealous of them.
