KCD names question

Got a question for international KCD fans/fic readers.

Would it be confusing to alternate between Czech and English names for Hansry?

I originally wrote 5k words only using the English names but then changed them all to the Czech versions cuz I like the variations on the names and how it says more about what they feel in the moment. (Like Jan - Janek - Honza is more interesting than just Hans all the time.)

However sometimes the English names fit the sentence better and I adore Henry being called Hal (especially in spicy moments).

Is it too confusing? Would non-czech readers have a hard time understanding who is who with so many different name variations?

Janek to get ppls attention.

tumblr I swear to god if your ads on mobile keep opening popup webpages because my FINGER touched them while I was SCROLLING because they are SO BIG that they FILL THE SCREEN AS I SCROLL PAST THEM I am going to MANIFEST SNAKES IN YOUR WALLS

im not even the type of guy to go "actually it's frankenstein's MONSTER" because a painting by rembrandt or picasso or any other artist is often called "a rembrandt" or "a picasso" as shorthand. so in this respect frankenstein's monster can be considered "a frankenstein"

[parkayquarts]

darling I love your 8 foot tall patchwork flesh creature, it really livens up the place. is that an authentic frankenstein?

[parkayquarts]

it's only a true frankenstein if it was produced in the frankenstein region of switzerland. otherwise it's just a sparkling homunculus

[yeemophantrash]

So like that is kinda canon to the Peggy Weblings play which went on to inspire the Universal movie which most modern interpretations of the creature stem from. Therefore, calling Frankenstein's creature just Frankenstein is canonically accurate unless talking specifically about Mary Shelley's version.

As someone who loves using their partner as a weighted blanket, I'm thinking about Henry putting his whole body weight on Hans for like a second and immediately getting off, realizing Hans's trauma of being stuck under rubble and feeling so guilty for even doing it while Hans hardly even registered he did that.

[r-mad]

do you think Henry keeps helping people with any of their tasks whether silly or serious ones because he got to live after Skalitz was burned down and he has to make it count? like he has to do as much as he can to help others to justify staying alive when many others didn’t?

Děkujeme naší rodině za zapůjčení stromečku, nadepsaných dárků, talíře s cukrovím a psa 🐕

PS: ne, nenadepisovali jsme si dárky jako pro naše postavy, naštěstí se ve správné české rodině sejde u štědrovečerního stolu Jan i Jindřich 🇨🇿

Cením, že nás spousta sdílí tradici se o Vánocích vrátit na čumblr (vidím interakce na starých příspěvcích)

Breaking: RCM officer scares local children

this is my personal injoke - a screenshot redraw of the ex czech president during an interview - why you may ask? Watching clips of that guy made me realise that if electrochemistry harry was ever a president, he would be miloš zeman. trust me, the man was unhinged, one news source literally called him a “chain-smoking, hard drinking president” and if that doesnt scream electrochemistry harry i dont know what does

also i think i drew harry pretty well here, so i want to share :)

The difference between the left and right in America is that if a prominent left wing voice, like say AOC, was shot in the neck in front of a crowd the right would meme the hell out of it. Her slumped over corpse would be redrawn as a wojack and "you talk like you have a hole in your neck" would be the buzz response to any left wing comment anywhere.

They would have zero remorse and they'd be having the time of their lives, yet if a leftist so much as smirks at Charlie Kirk's ironic death then you'll get a half hour lecture about how gun violence is always bad and that killing talking heads won't help the revolution or some obnoxious shit.

Daddy issues Elysium

Disco Elysium thing I don't see anyone talk about: the lack of fathers. Every child's father is gone in some way. Dead, away, too addicted to father. Even Tommy, he's a good guy and caring father but away for work all the time. The man you find dead on the boardwalk was a father. Anette's dad is away. Lilianne is a single mother to 3 kids. Conoesse is called a stray and the only father figure she might have is Cuno's father who is a piece of shit, not a dad. There are no present father's in all of Martinese. I think there's something deeper to this. I just can't put my finger on it.

Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

Little bit from the fic I'm writing these days

“I didn’t think you’re actually taking him in. Are you really gonna be raising a kid, Harry? You?” Jean spat.

“He needs a home. A good one. A safe one.”

“And you think you can provide that?”

“You don’t know me at all.”

“No, Harry. I do know you. I know you really fucking well. I clearly know you better than you know yourself. Whoever you think you are right now, sooner or later, you will be the shitty old Harry “Shit Kid” Du Bois. I’ve seen it. I’ve seen it a bunch of times,” Jean spoke through clenched teeth.

“I can get better.”

“A year ago, I might have believed that. No. I did believe that. Hell, I believed it even a few months ago. I believed you could, while you didn’t. But I’ve learned my lesson. You are beyond help. I recommend putting that kid in foster care. It sucks, but it’s definitely better than whatever you had in mind.”

“Jean,” Harry said softly.

“Harry?” he replied.

“Go fuck yourself.”
