Look. Ive been pretty much Rocky training montage-ing for weeks to prepare myself for season 2 of the Witcher. I am not a person who cares about spoilers so like, I knew things were coming, I fully accepted that. Its an adapation, I told myself, its a different world, its basically Witcher fanfiction. There is still interesting things! Jaskier -hes in more episodes than I thought! That burn song is so good! Cant wait to see that or the meeting of the other Witchers!

Yall.

I mean it when I say I struggled, that seeing Eskel broke me. Who was that? I honestly wasn't sure what they were even aiming for character wise? If they hadnt named him out right, gun to my head I wouldnt have known it was Eskel at all. -and I don't want to be hyper critical of the actor, I still think it was a miscast in general but even just....the lines/the vibe was so... so weird.

The introduction of the witchers whole episode was like chewing tinfoil for me, that only Lambert seemed to be Lambert.

I finished that episode and stopped because honestly I could not find the will to go on. I will probably muster up the courage to eventually continue but right now all I got is the loud, overwhelming feeling of what the fuck did I just watch?!

*Edit* After reading some articles about the Eskel choices....uh still not great? Like you killed him off for emotional impact without giving us anything? Idk what I am literally meant to get from this except that they tried to pull an emotional string for Eskel lovers to be sad?

#theres so much you guys #I know everyone told me but jfc #this...this is not good #like there are parts #Yen has some cool stuff #Jaskier is always a ride #uhhhhh #*struggles to think of more*#i think im just....gonna go back to the games and forget this ever happened lol

My good writer, I love everything you have written!!!👌👌👌 I just spent the past day reading the entirety of your blog and could not be more happier!!! Your writing is so good and great and amazing and spectacular!!! Thank you for making these stories that have captivated many, I'm just wowza my friend, I can barely contain all my emotions writing this I feel ive just made myself come off as awkward but uh *throws fingers guns* you got this bro keep doing what your doing it's great👍👍👍💞💕❤💖

I died at the finger guns, it has been too long since someone has done that to me, thank you! If you ever want to be awkward together, my DMs are always open for a chat :D Just bring more finger guns.

And, as it has become tradition it seems, a little ficlet of thanks for your kindness in reaching out and making me smile so much brighter with your words.

For a bard, Jaskier was really rather dumb. At least, that was Yennefer’s assessment as she watched from the door of the tavern. For months now, she’s seen Geralt mooning over him, trying his witcher-y best at emotions. Alas, it was all for naught and more often than not, he ended up sulking into a tankard of ale while his bard smiled and flirted with someone else.

The only problem was, while Geralt only saw his failures, Yennefer saw the other side of the pining too. There were longing looks, lines that Jaskier sang with his eyes fixed only on Geralt.

“Just use your words,” Yennefer nagged at Geralt as she sat next to him. Together, they watched Jaskier sing. Yennefer’s eyes were fixed on his fingers dancing over his lute, Geralt’s were following the sway of his hips. If he kept staring somewhere other than his face, no wonder he missed the longing looks sent his way. In fact, if he stared like that, it wasn’t surprising Jaskier was convinced Geralt glared at his crotch in the hopes of manifesting a new witcher trait and setting his trousers on fire with gaze alone.

“I tried.” The words were gruff and tinged with sadness. “He doesn’t want me. Not when he can wax lyrical about a village hunchback, make them sound like the most beautiful creation on earth. But when it comes to me...”

He doesn’t bother finishing his sentence. It was worse than flogging a dead horse. Sure, Jaskier could sing his praises in sing but he needed to if they wanted any coin. It was a matter of gritting his teeth and lying about Geralt to make ends meet.

Everyone had a breaking point and Yennefer had reached hers. As funny as it had been, watching to idiots be convinced they were both pining from afar, there were limits.

“Right.” She stood up and marched up to Jaskier, who had thankfully just finished a song so it was fine to interrupt. “You like Geralt, yes?”

“Well-”

“Yes or no? Do you want more than a friendship or just a fuck?” Yennefer wasn’t in the mood to beat around the bush and she watched as Jaskier’s lips turned down unhappily.

“Yes.”

“Good. Now, describe his hair.”

Confused, Jaskier glanced at Geralt who was staring into his ale with a grimace. “It’s like freshly fallen ash, a soft cascade of mercury that glistens in starlight. The gentle light of the moon has nothing on it when it’s freshly brushed.” He sighed wistfully. “To have the privilege of washing it, tangle my fingers in it is a greater pleasure than the finest whores of Cintra could bring.”

“Good.” Yennefer nodded. “Now describe my eyes.”

This was getting ridiculous but Jaskier wasn’t in the mood to defy the wishes of a powerful sorceress. Dutifully, he looked at her and did as asked. “They’re like the dewy glisten of nightshade on a shimmering summer morning.”

Before he could carry on, Yennefer was grabbing him by the wrist and pulling him towards Geralt. Stopping in front of him, she made her next demand. “Describe his eyes.”

After a long silence, Jaskier licked his lips and looked at Yennefer with worry. Of all the things to ask, this was just cruel. However, the hand around his wrist tightened and he hastily obeyed.

“They’re yellow.” Dumbfounded, Yennefer looked at him while Geralt just looked resigned, used to such lack of eloquence from Jaskier. He could see the the way Jaskier’s nose creased, lips curving awkwardly around words. “Like the egg yolk I had for breakfast. Sprinkled with pepper.”

Disasters, that’s what these two were. Yennefer despaired and all but threw Jaskier’s wrist from her grip. “And his hair?”

“White and grey? My family once had an elderly ass whose chin was the same colour when he went grey.”

What the hell happened to cascades of mercury in starlight?! All at once Yennefer understood why Geralt was so despondent and Jaskier was a lovesick fool - the emphasis being on fool.

“Right. Well, your egg yolk eyed ass has been moping for months because you don’t seem to want him. And you’ve been pining through songs from a distance for just as long. This farce has gone on long enough. You either sort your shit out here and now or I’m locking you both in the cellar until you work this mess out.”

Wide eyed the two twits stared at each other and Yennefer gave Jaskier a gentle shove so he’d sit down in the seat she had just vacated.

“So...” There was always a first time for everything and it seemed it was the perfect time for Jaskier to be speechless. To which Geralt replied with his usual silence and stare. “You don’t stare at me in the hopes I’d catch fire?”

It was painfully awkward and Yennefer wanted to scream. Instead she turned to the bar,determined to get herself a stiff drink. By the time she turned back towards the corner, Geralt was all but straddling Jaskier’s lap and kissing him. Slamming back her shot, Yennefer turned to order another. After downing that too, she turned to go tell the other two to get a room. Except the corner was already empty. Thank fuck for that.

Thank you for the tag @moonysourenza 💕💕

✨ Put your music library on shuffle, pick a fandom and match character(s) from that fandom for 10 songs you get. (Lyrics optional) ✨

Alright, let’s go lads. Let’s see what we get from my everyday playlist (which is a total mess. genre is meaningless to me)

1. Drop Dead - Badflower

Rare as a roast, the skin in her clothes

But she shivers like a beggar when she cries

—

Quick, pose for the vanity!

Clack clack with your high heels!

Quit messin' with the boys head!

Learn to love yourself, or drop dead

You take what you don't need

You keep fuckin', but you don't breed

Better off if you ask me

Learn to hate yourself, and love me

this one was hard but I eventually decided on Eskel and that succubus

2. why are you here - Machine Gun Kelly

I’m not myself

I’m not myself when you’re around, no

Can’t be helped

We are insane, that’s just the way it goes

I’m a demon in the night

She’s an angel with the white

Told me keep on all the lights

I’ma show you what you like

Help you put back on your clothes

Make sure nothing’s on your nose

Ain’t even tell my closest homies, nobody knows

ngl, MAJOR Geralt to Yen vibes with their whole on again/off again situation

3. Trip Switch - Nothing But Thieves

Sharing secrets with another world

Rubbing shoulders with some unknown lovers

Making waves through the universe

Starting wars with anonymous brothers

i get Ciri vibes just from these lyrics

4. Grey Leaves - Robert Hallow and The Holy Men

And though I may

Remember moonlit halls

The earth suits me better now

As does the sun

For night, it seems, can offer

Sleep, not rest

And must be used to dream

Of those grey leaves

i think Jaskier, thinking about the time he’s spent on the Path with Geralt. he remembers when he was a child, the “moonlit halls” of the Lettenhove House, but he’s older and “the earth suits [him] better now”

5. Heroin - Badflower

She’s in my head again

She knows where I have been

I’m going down that road again

She’s in my bed again

She marks her fingerprints in my skin

I breathe her perfume in

And it burns like heroin

once again, Yenralt vibes, the on again/off again, the perfume line immediately made me think of Yen

6. Toss A Coin To Your Witcher

this feels unfair

7. Promise Me-Acoustic - Badflower

We're getting old now

But I don't feel it

I say you're beautiful

And I still mean it

And I don't wanna know

What old age feels like

So promise me you won't

Give up on this life

And we'll be busy tryin'

While the rest of them are dyin'

Promise me we'll never grow up

I don't wanna let go

I wanna stay young

And even when the wrinkles show up

We'll be laughing, and

We can play forever

Don't make me face the truth

okay OKAY ive been thinking about writing a Geraskier fic for this song for WEEKS. all of the talk of aging and still being happy and Geralt “not feeling” the age theyve both gained even though he knows hes going to lose Jaskier one day AAAAAAAAAAA

8. Warning Sign - The Amazons

Even if you say I'm wrong

You know I'm not the only one

Maybe it's a warning sign

You can barely sleep at night

You're acting like a loaded gun

Like you wanna hurt someone

Can you feel the water rise?

Maybe it's a warning sign

i cant completely explain why, but i get Lambert vibes. its mostly the “acting like a loaded gun.” im sure you get it

9. Despicable - grandson

One day you will understand

Why I pushed you away as I am

And you will find a better man than I am

Trust, I'm doing you a favor, doing you a favor

Despicable

I'm just a bottom feeder

Despicable

I ain't never been a keeper

Despicable

Love her then I leave her

And if I were you, I wouldn't love me neither

oh look its Geralt. our favourite self loathing bastard

10. Somewhere I Belong - Linkin Park

When this began,

I had nothing to say

And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me

(I was confused)

And I let it all out to find that I'm not the only person with these things in mind (inside of me)

But all the vacancy the words revealed

Is the only real thing that I got left to feel (nothing to lose)

Just stuck, hollow and alone

And the fault is my own,

And the fault is my own

OLGIERD!! MY BOY!! Olgierd Von Everec, who had the best intentions and just didnt want to lose the woman he loved and suffered for it and IM STILL MAD ABOUT IT OKAY

that was fun!! so now that ive exposed my music taste to everyone here, im gonna tag @lovelyeskel @lohrendrell @feral-jaskier @patchwork-quilts @in-love-with-writing002

#tag games #songs #lyrics #the witcher
