#someone NEEDS TO SEDATE ME

[innieirving]

like, okay, i'm sure this scene has been talked about and dissected to pieces already in this fandom but. BUT. i need to put my two cents in or i will explode.

so, your lord and best friend has just admitted to you that if you die, he will be so beside himself with grief that he might just die too.

the game then gives you THIS option in response.

and you, the player, know how video games work. you know this is the press x for romance button. you expect henry to admit his feelings—a culmination of all the hints he's dropped from the heart options we've chosen before—and kiss him as soon as the button's been pressed.

except henry doesn't kiss hans.

instead, henry places his hand on hans' hand. it's the first moment of physical contact between them in the whole scene...but it's not a kiss. it's gentle. it's intimate. it's tiptoeing the line between comforting a friend and something more...

...but henry leaves it at that. and he gets up and goes to leave.

and in that moment of panic. in that split second of 'this might be the last time i'll ever see you again, please don't go' — it's hans that kisses henry.

and it's henry who pushes hans away.

this is—for all intents and purposes—the opposite of what we, the player, chose.

and to add insult to injury, henry looks conflicted.

he looks SO conflicted that hans believes he's fucked up royally.

that he has completely tarnished their final moments together by acting on impulse—by giving into temptation and desperation and feelings he can't even put into his own words—and henry must be disgusted by him.

and hans believes this because he watches henry turn his back to him. refusing to look at him. and head for the door.

but henry stops before he opens it. and i keep thinking back to the heart option we chose.

the player is not making the choice for henry to kiss hans. we are not forcing his hand.

the player is reminding henry what he's been telling himself throughout the entire game.

don't run away, henry.

kiss him. kiss him back.

so henry does.

Ship that couldn't ever be canon in any circumstance more than how they were in the canon dynamic:

Ship that 100% could've been canon given a different ending to the show:

Ship I still can't exactly say is canon or not:

Ship that was technically canon but was bound to end tragically:

Ship that definitely has some weird dynamic going on in canon:

Ship that would've been strangely heartwarming if it ever became canon:

Lesbian ship everyone needed to recover from the traumatizing events of canon:

Ship that would've been AMAZING if it was canon:

And finally, ship that SHOULD'VE been canon:

We’ve got Lord of the Rings playing in the background and it’s making me REALLY wanna write a prequel for my HTTYD/The Deep crossover, specifically the Lemurian times and Lemuria’s fall because building the Guardians background and making all the little leftovers of Lemuria in my fic is FILLING my head with ideas

raise your hand if you left a community on a site that was good and ruled by a bunch of nine year olds for a while and then evolved into a site with a hierarchy and then a bunch of drama happened and you realized that this site probably wasnt worth your time nor mental health but you decided to stay until 2025 and then left oh wait just me oh ok
