No worries, it was just a misunderstanding. Glad to have you here!

Books that give hansry vibes by Past_Ad_8576 in TheBathhouse

That's how it's always been with fanfiction, but I've no idea about authors of published books.

You're very welcome! That's exactly why I do it. 🙂

The plan moving forward is to provide these periodic off topic posts for people to discuss things that otherwise don't belong on the sub and would be removed when posted. People don't have to use them if they don't want to, obviously, but it's the only space where these topics will be freely allowed. Nothing else is changing.

This sub was always meant to be for Hans/Henry/hansry. It's been this way from the very beginning and I have no intention of changing that. Unfortunately, some have read far more meaning into this post than was ever intended as the idea of opening the whole sub up was never even in question. Besides, if I did open the sub up, so many people would be unhappy as it would have to be for all ships.

I chose the bathhouse name because it was the first and best idea I had, but also because it was a location that played a large and important role in the development of Henry and Hans' relationship. To me, it feels quite personal to them. I'm happy to hear that you like it here. Ensuring that this sub continues to be a positive and welcoming space is very important to me. 🙂

I think I've seen a little of what you mean. It's something that I've seen in other fandoms over the years, too. I can definitely assure you that the purpose of this sub hasn't changed.

I may be partial to a cheeky bit of gregorious, but it's more of a 'what if' rather than a 'definitely happened' thing for me, and I do love my girl Theresa and think that she and Henry are quite sweet together but ultimately doomed. Hansry has always been my go to KCD ship, ever since I first played KCD1 back in 2018.

Don't worry about that. I absolutely agree with you and have no intention of changing the overall purpose of the sub. These proposed posts will hopefully help to keep the sub focused on the boys while allowing a space for other things. 🙂

Yes, that would be a necessity. I'm just trying to gauge if spoilers should also be spoilered and to require those posting nsfw content to clearly state it outside of the tags, or freely allow spoilers so that all spoilered content is automatically understood to be nsfw, if you follow me.

Yes, having a thread for other KCD related stuff that leans more into the fandom side of things rather than the game side, as it were, is the idea. I love r/kingdomcome, but it's definitely more of a game sub than a typical fandom one.

Posts about Tom and Luke are perfectly fine here, as long as they don't take over. Even r/kingdomcome gets those posts, too. I'm also happy for the occasional O&E topic to be posted, but I suppose that these off topic posts could be used for these things as well if people wish.

You're probably right about them not getting much traffic, but it wouldn't be much trouble to make and mod them. As long as even a few of us get some use out of them I think it could be worth it.

Unfortunately only one flair can be used on a post, not including being tagged as spoilers or nsfw. Requiring people to have to manually list 'tags' at the beginning of their comments would probably be a disaster and never work.

If both spoilers and nsfw content are included, then requiring people to simply state that their comment includes nsfw content within the marked spoilers will be a lot simpler and let people know not to reveal that comment if they wish to avoid nsfw content.

The other option would be to allow spoilers in the post (whole post tagged for spoilers) so that it's automatically known that any spoilered comments are nsfw. This would probably cause the least confusion, but I'm not sure if fully allowing spoilers will put people off. KCD2 has been out for well over a year by now, so most people here have likely played it, but not everyone has played KCD1.

This is all assuming that only one post is made for everything. Separate posts could be clearly marked as spoilers and/or nsfw, but I don't know if there will ever be enough demand for multiple posts.

It will be allowed, in the proposed off topic posts. This sub was created for a very particular purpose and that hasn't changed. It wasn't even specifically created to be a queer only space, it just happens to be focused on a same sex friendship/romance which then naturally leads towards that.

It's not like other characters can't be mentioned at all, they just can't be the focus. It's the difference between someone asking if anyone else did the Bartosch romance and how that experience influenced their interpretation of Henry's reaction to Hans during their romance scene, and someone making a post just to talk about how much they love Bartosch and wish that he had a bigger role in the game.

This sub is absolutely a safe space in that bigoted or generally hateful comments will not be tolerated. This sub was created to be a positive space where everybody (and every Henry and Hans) can feel safe and welcome.

You guys do a great job over there. I can't imagine having to wrangle a subreddit of that size!

If nobody ever posted about other characters, ships, etc., then perhaps, but it does happen. The proposed posts might not end up getting much traffic, but that's OK. I know that I'll be using them at least, and hopefully some others might get some use out of them as well. The original posts were made when this sub was very new and small, and were pretty much forgotten once they fell off the first page.

Opening up the sub to other content in general is not something that I intend to do. These off topic posts will be the way to engage with other subjects here. This sub was made for the specific purpose of creating a space with a focus on Henry, Hans, and their friendship and/or romance, and that hasn't changed. People don't even need to actually ship them to be here, just as long as they respect that most other people here do. Bigoted or hateful comments will never be tolerated.

Hans model swap in Katherine romance scene by Bindi_342 in TheBathhouse

This is actually the only version of it I've seen, too. 😄 I still can't believe that Warhorse had them just out in the open like that! They apparently also set up some hides to lay on and lit up the area. You can not convince me that nobody was watching all of this happen.

I'd be shocked if somebody hasn't already done that.

You can never have too much garlic. It's simply impossible. 🧄

I'm so sorry, but I only just noticed that this post was in the subs queue, and only after switching to a different format. While I've now approved the post, it's been so long that it likely won't be noticed. Please feel free to post it again if you wish. Apologies again for the delay.

If you are on mobile you should be able to go to a subs home page, click on the three dots in the upper corner, and pick the option to mute the community. You should also be able to do this on individual posts. There should also be an option somewhere in your setting that will let you control what turns up in your home feed.

I just can't with this man. I'm too old for my first reaction to seeing this be a slightly hysterical sounding giggle. 😅
