Ok so maaaaaaybe Dadzig had a very "specific" reason to stay away from his son's life until he was a functional adult

Beware minor spoilers for the DLC (like the first 40mins or so)

Like you take one look at little Hellion Hal and tell me that Radzig didn't go "Mmmnnnnnnnn idk about this one love, how about instead...... Groschens? You want some Groschens? tell you what Martin, why don't YOU raise my son instead yeah ? give him a safer life and all that"

Never though the day would come when we would see a Child in our Hardcore medieval RPG, and what a stink face Warhorse gave him, like from start to finish, his brow never "un-forrows" he is very much unimpressed with this trip. (a trip that he "fondly" re tells Sam about Years later when he ask him about his dad)

At least he has his wooden stick for whacking, and his wooden dagger on his belt to keep the boredom at bay, Christ's wounds hahaha.

Also kids do be hitting things with random sticks.

The first look at the DLC new quests and mechanics, so far my favourite quest has been the "Fisherman" that pays you to let him watch you forge something, role-playing being your apprentice while yelling "Way to go Master, Amazing Master, look at you ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧" and ending the session with "( •̯́ ₃ •̯̀) well that was a nice dream while it lasted, wait until I get home and tell the wife about this" HAHAHA insane.

(ㅎᴗㅎ )… Henry unprompted: "Does it excite you? The heat of the forge? the thundering clank of the hammer? The rivers of sweat???? (˘ŏ_ŏ) Fish monger: N..no NO! wh...why would you say that ? is not, it doesn't .... I just ...... want to watch you ....forge a sword....I'll pay you.

That AND the Multi-part side-quests were you slowly realize that :

Random guy wanted a new sword so you obliged.

[later] Second Guy HATES how his neighbour won't shut up about his stupid sword, so he ALSO wants a sword BUT ! "make it 𝕱𝖆𝖓𝖈𝖞 even if it cannot cut anything it just needs to look better than the neighbour's sword", so you make him a sword.

Second guy is so impressed with how beautiful the sword turned out, that he is going to walk around town with it (originally he was only going to put it atop the fireplace as a display ) but NOW hohoh he is gonna show that good for nothing what a real sword looks like.

[much later]Random "distressed" Woman is waiting for you at your forge early in the morning and ask if you could make her "special" horse shoes, ok? you can do that.... there are many types of horse shoes though, what does she have in mind ? "I want my horse to run faster than the wind, faster than anybody's" ......So you forge her some race horse shoes..... why ....why does she want race horse shoes if you may ask? "ohhh it's silly.....it's all that CURSED sword fault" I'm sorry the... the what now ? "ever since my husband brought it home it's been nothing but trouble" yeah ... I'm going to need more info than that "My husband brought home a sword cause our neighbour wouldn't shut up about his new sword, but BUT the thing is possessed! he won't let go of it, he takes it everywhere, he even brings it to bed at night!!! I had enough he loves that sword more than he loves me! so tonight, I'm putting these shoes on my horse and leaving him forever, he won't even notice since he has that stupid sword"

She has essentially become the medieval equivalent of

ahh yes me, my husband, and his Beautiful custom made Cursed sword.

6. So Henry has to convince her that sometimes, Men are just INCREDIBLY STUPID, and just big kids at heart, and that is what this is, he is just a big kid with a shiny new toy, he is just excited about it, he doesn't love it more than her, that's absurd, is just a stupid sword, nothing special about it, he should know, he makes sword ALL the time, and Maybe now that she has these new horse shoes she can go on horse rides on her own, something just for her, and his husband once the novelty wears off, will come back to her when he notices that she spends more time outdoors.

At not point does ANYBODY clocks that Henry Has become the corner piece of the neighbourhood drama, he is simultaneously Master Blacksmith / Town Nuisance / Home Wrecker / Marriage counsellor all wrap in one, he has no idea, he is just happy to be able to make thing in his fancy new forge, Like Pa' always wanted for him, now if only all these weirdos would stop bringing all this gossip every-time they place an order.

Also ALSO

There was an addition to the game with the new DLC, the improved photo mode, which at first I was all like mehhh whateves why are people raving about, it's just a photo mode, screen shot exist for a reason.... ¯_ (ᵕ—ᴗ—)_/¯

But BUT

I get it now, like I GET IT

Ignore the miming lady in the back, she just has incredible core strength.

Can you tell I've been having fun with the photo mode?

Tournament? what tournament ? this is a Photo Shoot now,

Barely Winning the tournament? naw naw,

Getting the perfect photo right as you perform a weapon combo Before your opponent gives up! now THAT's what's really difficult, you only have so many tries before you beat them to a pulp after all.

and SOME of the faces the NPCs make mid combat are just *shivers*

Yeah Henry I totally agree, there's no need to bring in that type of energy, look at my boy, you are upsetting him.

But also

Look at him (ᵕ,,¬﹏¬,,)

can you believe this man pulls like crazy, he has that "accidental Rizz" but here, Jesus he looks so 𝒟𝑜𝓊𝒸𝒽𝓎 yeah bro i see the fit, it's not fire It's Tournament regulation

Pocket Animator AU- Who’s Who from a Borrower’s View

AN: This is actually earlier in the timeline for this series and is built on Henry being careful to not be seen by the studio staff, but also him needing a way to identify which people in the studio he's talking about.

I have more nicknamed characters, but most of the ones here all are referred to by their Job titles. I may post a list of various staff nicknames later. For now, however, I just wanted to write something for this AU.

Borrower’s, generally, never remembered the names of the humans they borrowed from.

There was a reason for it, one Henry knew well.  Remembering the names of humans could lead to familiarity with them.

Borrowers that let themselves feel too familiar with their humans would get too comfortable with them. They wouldn’t be as cautious.  And forgetting to be cautious could lead to getting hurt, or even getting caught by the humans.

The closest they would get would be calling the humans by descriptions. Things like Male human, Female human, Old human, girl child, boy child, etc. Simple things to tell which ones they were referring too, but also detached enough to not let themselves be too close.

But the studio had so many humans moving about each day, Henry realized that he would have to refer to his humans with more personal terms just so he could tell them apart.  Many more than most Borrowers would have to keep track of.  It lead to him taking time to spy on the humans to find features about them he could use to tell them all apart.  It also helped that, being a studio, a number of the humans had titles he could use for them.

After a while, Henry had figured out a schedule for his humans, including ways to refer to them.  And learning about them as he went.

The first person to come in every day was the Music Director, closely followed by the Projectionist.  They would both come in as the sun was rising, eat breakfast they brought with them in the Lunchroom (they were both very neat eaters, meaning little to no crumbs for Henry to nab),  then they would split apart and start working.  The Music Director would go to his department and work at his desk or he would examine all the instruments in the Recording Studio.

The Projectionist, on the other hand, would go through the studio and check all the projectors before retreating to either the Theater (where he would watch some of the reels and check them over) or to his booth in the Music department.

After those two would be the President and the Accountant, both of whom would eat something from the Lunchroom then go to their respective offices to work.  But, after a few hours, the President would leave his office and start helping the artists and storyboarders finish the next cartoon on time.

Following them would be the Lyricist and the Janitor.  The Lyricist would just head to his workplace and hole up for the day, only emerging for food and drinks and to go home at the end of the day.

The Janitor would go off and meander about the studio for most of the day, cleaning as he went.  He wasn’t very thorough, but he did enough for the studio to be considered “clean”.

And, about once a week, the Gent Mechanic would come in after them.  He wasn’t there often, but he worked hard to keep the plumbing in the studio in good condition.  Then the rest of the staff would arrive, all of them in larger groups that were harder for Henry to keep track of.

Henry also kept notes on the behavior and his opinions on the humans that worked at the studio.

The Music Director was a very punctual man, but also very prone to stress and had a very short temper.  He was very good at his job, there was no denying that, but he was very critical of the other workers. Henry liked him, he had a very good work ethic, but he needed to let himself relax more.  He couldn’t help thinking the man would make a great Borrower.

The Projectionist was a favorite of Henry’s humans.  He liked hiding in the walls of the man’s booth when he felt overwhelmed and couldn’t borrow.  He would sing to himself sometimes, Henry found it very relaxing to listen to.

The President owned the company and had it named after him.  He was a touch of an egoist, from what Henry could tell. But he had a good heart and tried to take care of his employees as best he could, taking care of complaints as quickly as he could manage, making sure there was dry food in the Lunchroom if anyone forgot to bring food, and helping out where he could.  He also gave amazing inspirational speeches.  

The Accountant was as punctual as the Music Director and was prone to twice the stress.  He drank his coffee “black as tar”, hated when his work was interrupted, was prone to gossip when he visited the Lunchroom,  and ate muffins every morning. He didn’t suffer fools and got frustrated very easily.

The Lyricist, despite working in the Music Department, was a very quiet man.  He tended to lock himself in an office in total silence to write lyrics for the Music Director’s songs.  Henry wasn’t sure how the silence helped him write, the borrower thought that at least listening to the song he was writing for would help but apparently not.

Henry had a bit of a soft spot for the Janitor.  He was the youngest staff member and would help out other staff members by doing snacks and drink runs for people who couldn’t leave their desks.  He was clumsy and always stumbling over his own feet, a messy eater (so many crumbs for Henry to grab!) and incredibly forgetful. He didn’t think the teen wouldn’t make a very good Borrower (as harsh as it seemed),  but Henry was sure the poor human would forget his own head if it wasn’t attached to him.  And the human had an appetite that was downright otherworldly.  He would eat anything and everything that he could get his hands. (Henry deeply wished he could do that.)

The Gent Mechanic, though he wasn’t around very often, was the most dangerous human for Henry.  He was harsher than most of the other people who worked in the studio, he was a hard worker, and took his job very seriously.  But he was so dangerous to Henry, simply because the human in question was the only one who regularly went inside the walls of the studio.

He had nicknames for other staff members, but the fact that so many of them had titles for their jobs helped him, but it was still hard at times to remember each of their schedules so he could work around them.

Even with all of that, Henry rarely left the walls anyways.  It was easier and safer to just wait until the end of the workday to go borrowing.

But that didn’t make people-watching (or rather, listening) any less of an entertaining hobby for him.

You go teeny Henry!

He did! He almost got another one but Charles stopped him. Henry would’ve had a big stomachache.

Henry had to eat the first muffin in bites but he did it.
