humanity in monstrosity

Part of socializing and having friends is being a good listener even when you don't actually give a shit about the subject.

Your are hurting other people's feelings when you bluntly respond with "Anyway..." and then change the topic.

It can not always be about your preferred topic.

No matter how long you scrub you'll never be clean

Misthopper secret strahd exchange! This time with nautical themes. The prompt i recieved from @inkycapomen was for rahadin washing blood from his hands/hair and looking at his reflection with slight guilt.

I'm SO excited to finally share these pieces I created for D&D's Ravenloft: The Horrors Within.

Peetah.. the giant horses are here 🐎🧛‍♂️

Both of Henry's responses are to decline, just, one more polite than the other.

"I have to rescue Sir Hans! I made a promise I'd protect him!" or "It's Lord Capon, Your Grace. I came to find out where he is and rescue him."

Obviously, this is because the story can't happen if Henry returns to Rattay, but I like what it says about Henry and why he does things. Because Istvan was kinda right, this isn't Henry's war, he isn't too invested over who's king. He is allied with Wenceslas supporters because Sigismund burned his home, his father, and his best friend and crush are all on Wenceslas's side. Henry is doing this, definitely in this stage out of his personal loyalty to Hans.

He outright tells Jobst he came here to rescue Hans. Not because of his duty, but because he made a promise. He promised Hans he wouldn't let anything happen to him and I feel so much about it.

As Jobst and zizka keep arguing, Henry repeatedly says he can't leave because:

The image is from the last time he says it but he tells Jobst multiple times in such a soft voice that he made a promise... he promised Hans and that is one promise Henry does not intend to break. I am unwell.

And Zizka is using Henry's desire to rescue Hans for his own ends, telling him he would help him rescue Hans if he has his men, but Henry then goes to rescue Hans alone.
