DON'T WORRY IT'S ON THE HOUSE! THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR RIGHT?

Hey, I assure you my comment wasn't a slight. When I first saw you I was like "oh cool, a Beard!" then I played HM2 and saw your guy was a director, so I figured he was THE Director and I made a mistake. I knew nothing of the theory or what not, or your reason behind keeping the name and such. I was, until this day, under the impression that you were portraying someone else and not Beard. I know you are now, and that's cool. I apologize to everyone, especially you, for the assumption.

Thanks for following up, I appreciate the clarification.

I can understand where the confusion came from, and I’m glad this whole thing is sorted out, but I do want to say that if you’re ever confused about someone’s character/portrayal, the best thing you can do is send THEM an ask. It saves a lot of trouble, and pretty much eliminates the possibility of miscommunication. What I don’t recommend doing, is messaging other people with assumptions. I know you meant well, and again, I really do appreciate you following up (a lot of the time whenever someone’s on anon they tend to just disappear).

well uh since apparently there’s a problem somewhere

i’m well aware that the rouven blankenfeld used in hm2 isn’t beard. but if you’ve been in the hm fandom as long as i have, the theory that was big back when hm2 was first being announced was that they were. and...yeah. i really liked that idea.

beard has been my favorite since the first game came out and i’ve put a lot of work into my idea of him. i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, i really wasn’t happy with the direction the plot of hm2 took, so i’m sorry that i’m not all that content with dropping everything i’ve worked for, including the name i’ve used for years before hm2 came out.

so. yeah.

He’s knelt in front of her, hands taken into his own, looking up at her with a mixture of worry and compassion. Rouven never has been able to stand seeing her upset, especially not when someone’s wronged her.

But her smile comes as a relief, and he cracks a small one of his own.

“----I’m here to help, yes? To say what’s true?”

lazy doodle of beard

this is actually the first time i drew him

Rouven can’t resist a chuckle. Of course he doesn’t, but he knows Jacob’s nature. More so, actually, he knows people’s natures. People always want to owe and be owed. Not Rouven Blankenfeld.

“Says who? You?---God?” He laughs again, softly, but quiets not long after. Something in his posture changes as he leans forward, propped up on the counter by his crossed arms. The look in his eyes changes as well; none of the light fades, but it’s clear that he’s serious.

“------I helped you. And you know what? You helped me more than I think you wanna give yourself credit for.” Rouven pauses. “----So now we’re both here, alive, having this conversation. If you really wanna owe anybody, owe it to yourself.”

He hums lightly in acknowledgement, waiting for his response; Rouven is well aware that his friend is a pessimist, and granted, even if he wasn’t, it would be difficult to reach his own level of optimism. That’s no fault of Jacob’s, and though it might test someone else’s patience, Rouven doesn’t mind. He has time.

Jacob’s statement is enough to satisfy him, and he nods.

“There isn’t a whole lot you can do that’s for nothing, Jacob-----for better or worse, it’ll catch up to you,” From anyone else, that might be intended to be patronizing. A small laugh escapes him, bordering somewhere in between pure good nature and tired acceptance, like he’s had this realization a hundred times. Not far from the truth.
