I'M JUST A JEALOUS GUY

Is it though? After all seems Hans is more interested about Henry's "PRIDE AND JOY" as he so eloquently said in the prologue 😏😏😏😏

How dare people doubt the word of our lord and liege 🙏

HENRY AND HANS CAPON        ↳ Contradiction.

This isn't what i meant when i said "rearrange his insides" jayce...

right through

No matter how good your actors are, they can only do so much if the script you are giving them is nonsensical. You can have characters who are conflicted and make wrong choices based on their situation. But Alicent giving up Aegon like that, as if her getting in front of Meleys to protect her family wasn't a pivotal point for her in showing her choice to Rhaenys last season? Rhaenyra too shouldn't have even given Alicent the time of day when she already tried and did basically the same as her but got told it was "too late" and an invasion of King's Landing is inevitable at this point. I know they shared a relationship together and do think that even if it was long ago, it still can determine how they interact with each other, but even that being the case, sometimes you need to prioritize some things over others. I don't doubt that Alicent cared about Rhaenyra, but that didn't stop her from advancing her own interests with her family. I don't doubt that Rhaenyra cared about Alicent, but she still put herself and her family first by leaving King's Landing and pretty much never visiting again, even when her father was there wasting away. That's what makes them interesting. The conflict within themselves and choosing one thing over the other. That even if it hurts, some things just turn sour.

Not even mentioning that since it's obvious that Rhaenyra will take the city, this whole interaction could have happened then and with bigger stakes, like Alicent begging for her life and Rhaenyra having to make the choice of whether she dies or is imprisoned or something. 

This whole scene gives me the impression that they wanted a dramatic and emotional scene for the end of the season so they came up with this.

Henry of Skalitz and Hans Capon, Kingdom come deliverance 2

(This is literally how i see them)

Bonus:

God I love the Hansry kiss scene so much, but what I really admire is Hans’ expressions. Especially this one:

You can just tell exactly what he’s thinking. That he has fucked everything up, that this could be the last time he sees Henry and he’s ruined it. Probably questioning why he even did that, how foolish he is to put his feelings out in the open. You can just see how he mentally kicks himself. Only to then be taken off guard a few moments later by Henry reciprocating those feelings, and the relief that clearly washes over him. It’s just so perfect in every way, I love it.

plus the cutest lil’ fluffy bear! ❤️

This fits so well if you have henry cut through hans' excuses and swear his lid off in the beginning. To have the only person that sees you for who you are and treats you like an equal unlike all the rest acting up as a yes man due to your status must've been devastating. The only person who sincerely enjoyed your company and you let them down. No one can be proud of you.

henry's boyfriend sure is bratty and dramatic

i have to hand it to warhorse. responding to the men screaming "IF YOU WERE JUST GOING TO TURN HENRY QUEER WHY WAS HE STRAIGHT IN KCD 1???" with

"budget constraints"

is the funniest fucking thing a dev has ever said

"Anything for you, My Lord."
