#Hans and Henry are in love with each other no matter who else you romance 🤷‍♀️

Why is one of the homophobic dudebro arguments against hansry always “Theresa is the canon romance, she’s Henry’s true love” ???????

Like ok, fine, if that’s how you wanna play your game then by all means, go for it. But considering she wasn’t in the second game at all besides a few casual mentions, it’s pretty clear she wasn’t meant to be the dev canon romance. It also doesn’t negate the fact that Hans and Henry have been through the most together. They probably know each other better than anyone else in their lives.

Falling for each other was pretty much inevitable, either in a platonic or romantic way—so even if Warhorse had restricted romance options to only Theresa, Hans and Henry would still be the canon Relationship™️

Yeah, yeah, this is my opinion that no one asked for, but it's funny, it's very funny to see people deny that Hansry is the main love line of kcd. even if the warhorses themselves don't understand it.

just count the number of illogical and strange dialogues between Henry and girls in other romances. Contrast this with Hans' romance, which is the only one (excluding Theresa, because I'll talk about her later) that starts with friendship.

This is a place for the men's favorite phrase: "Can two people just be friends?" Welcome to the world of every female character introduced in fiction. (irl too btw). That's the problem. until the male scriptwriters realize that love stories which start from friendship will always have advantages over love at first sight. Until this understanding changes, such situations will continue to occur.

It's pointless to analyze Lady Stephanie's romance. It's brief and contains only a few scenes, and Henry does not react at all in kcd2 to the revelation that Lady Stephanie is pregnant with HIS child. if there was a romance in kcd1, then in kcd2 they put big fat **** on it. (according to my personal theory, their romance was created only because of men's fetish to sleep with someone else's wife, but nevermind).

Rosa's romance appears to be just as brief, possibly even shorter than Lady Stephanie's.

Even Rosa herself does not act as if her relationship with Henry has any promising future.

The romance of Katherine... *sigh* It's just weird. I’m not the only one who has noticed that the lead-up to the love scene with Henry feels very strange. It feels cheap and unwritten that Zizka would blurt out such personal information about Katherine to Henry. (I'm not even talking about the fact that Zizka talks about r*p* in the past and Katherine's trauma about it TO Henry RIGHT BEFORE THEIR SEX SCENE) (I am empathetic on this topic (like many women do) and inserting a sex scene right after that is just... disgusting) but if what is in ( ) is a personal opinion, I’ve noticed that many streamers and youtubers remained in a misunderstanding following Zizka's words. lol even one of the most not empathetic streamer guy said something like: "🤨wtf it is definitely not the words that you want to hear about the girl before the sx scene" The buildup to Katherine's romance is... strange.

The romances of Klara and Margaret make no sense at all - they even have the faces of NPCs. (Their only purpose seems to be to please the protagonist.) (I'm not opposed to straight romances; I appreciate the female characters. In fact, I'm madly in love with Lady Stephanie, but her romance is lazy written. I really enjoyed Margaret's quest and would have liked it to be longer. And if only u knew how much I wanted to hug Katherine and kiss her— though not after Zizka told me about her trauma. It’s not me; it's them who don’t leave me with a choice.)

So, here’s Theresa. Henry has finally been prescribed romance with a woman, which is well-founded. Their relationship begins with friendship. Theresa is a well-written woman. but there is a significant issue with their romantic storyline: it begins during Henry's trauma following his injury from the burning his home and the death of his parents. This raises an almost philosophical question: can a traumatized person truly heal another traumatized person? The situation is further complicated by the fact that in kcd1 it’s not Theresa who heals Henry, but Hans. It's Hans who manages to bring genuine smiles to Henry's face (@/autemis written a post about Hans being Henry's light). This leads to the recurring question: "Can two traumatized individuals save each other?" Everyone has their own perspective on this matter, but it’s undeniable that Hans plays an equally important role in Henry’s life as Theresa does in kcd1.

The second problem with Theresa's romance: her relationship with Henry in kcd2 is stagnating, while Henry and Hans' relationship continues to evolve.

(and now in kcd2, Henry is the one who tends to Hans' trauma that appeared in kcd2, and Hans continues to be an anchor for Henry.)

It's just the fact that Hans is Henry's only love interest, with whom he has a relationship that lasts two parts of the game. lol only in kcd2 there is 9 (!) hours of Hansry.

This is enough to say that... yes, hansry is the main romance of kcd.

This progression moves from enemies (2 minutes in kcd1) to friends (100+ hours in kcd1 and 150+ hours in kcd2) to lovers (the last 2 hours in kcd2). The relationship between Henry and Hans (even as just friends) represents the strongest bond between two characters across both games. When there is such a strong and well-defined connection, it often overshadows Henry's other romantic interests. Friendship with Theresa is mentioned in kcd2 ONLY ONCE in the prologue. Henry consistently worries about, cares for, protects, and thinks about Hans throughout kcd2. AND the parallels work better between Henry and Istvan in Hans romance. I mean... the main storyline between the protagonist and the antagonist. "its not a rocket science" (c) Logan Hillier.

Come on, tell me that Hansry is not the main romance of a kcd. and I really don't understand if the warhorses did this on purpose or accidentally created SUCH A BRILLIANT ROMANCE. It's not about "respecting the opinion of others". It's about facing facts.
