Brutus, der Dorftrottel

Balancing sensitive topics like disability and abuse with a fantasy setting must have been challenging. I wonder what inspired the approach to make these themes integral rather than background details.

The depiction of vulnerability and trust felt so real — I’m curious if that was based on personal experience or pure imagination, and how the author approached writing those moments.

Blending heavy real-world issues with fantasy can be risky but impactful. I wonder what motivated that decision and how it shaped the story’s message.
