deep in the green woods, when noon brightens sky

I kept talking about werewolves without actually drawing wolves; no more.

[laurikarauchscat]

Ohh please the give me a character ask for: Geralt, Emhyr, Morvran and Ciri ❤️

I just answered Geralt on my previous post, so imma start with...

Emhyr

How I feel about this character

Obsessed. Check out my drawing catalogue. If not for him, I'd not have done a single thing in June.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

otp - Geralt/Emhyr: but I've also enjoyed drawing Emhyr/Letho, and Emhyr/Pavetta.

Non romantic otp

Mererid and Peter, Ciri, Morvran, False Ciri, and the Impera (love fics where they are depicted as loyal and protective - @queenofyumcha 's "wont someone think of the Nilfgaardians" made me think of these fuckers as, ya know, actual people)

Unpopular opinion

This is fandom, so I totally am on board with people ignoring some of his uuuncomfortable actions, I do it myself sometimes... but I prefer engaging with the weight of all his terrible actions present. Makes things more spicy...

Thing that I wish would be canon

Nilfgaard winning the third northern war

Morvran

How I feel about this character

Love him! Even more after I read Eldritcher's fics on Ao3, and drew him pregnant twice ;-)

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Ciri and that baronness (love a man who appreciates milfs, just like me fr)

Non romantic otp

Emhyr, False Ciri and @bomberqueen17 's OC Lulliana (I love the "Fit for Pearls series!)

Unpopular opinion

Only way this man will ever make a kid sharing his and Ciri's DNA is if he carries it himself.

Thing that I wish would be canon

A non fucked up father-son relationship between him and Emhyr

Cirilla

How I feel about this character

LOVE HER! She and Emhyr are the only Witcher characters i actually full on "stan"

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Morvran, Cerys, False Ciri, Daenerys Targaryen

Non romantic otp

Geralt, Yennefer, Rhaegal (Dany's Green Dragon. That bby lizard is even colour coded to be hers)

Unpopular opinion

I tend to Ignore the "time travel" aspect of her powers. It makes her a touch overpowered. That's definately not an unpopular opinion, I see most people do that, but I thought I'd mention it.

Thing that I wish would be canon

The Empress Ending!!!

[tigerlyla-of-metinna]

for the ask game: the witcher - Emhyr, your OC Sarah, Ciri please

and for Baldur's Gate 3: Halsin and Raphael please 😁💜

That is a barrage of arrows hitting the bullseye of my heart! Ok Ok lets tackle them all!

Warning: It's going to be long, so I'll answer under the cut.

How I feel about this character

Emhyr

My love for him burns like a thousand suns. Fascination at first sight. Of course I knew Emhyr from the game first before I knew him fully in the books, which enriched him more. He is an antagonist I love to love, and I know he's done many heinous things (war, unpopular decisions), I can't help but admire the reason behind each horrible decision. And I love the humanity that shines through his armor. You could imagine that shard of ice shifting a lot when he acts human instead of the iron fisted sovereign.

Sarah

My friend from birth. I can't really explain it in normal terms. It's like a childs' imaginary friend growing up with you. She frequents my dreams as a child. Always the woman with wavy black locks, green eyes, attractive smile. Someone that I wanted to be but can't. I have created many OCs: pieces of my secret soul, personalities I couldn't express in real life: Lyla the feisty, fiery, foxy red head. Violet the loud and flashy rockstar (similar to HEART), Sarah Delgado the tragic green-haired spanish fencer. But Sarah is my OC ideal: wise, pragmatic, noble and a smile that could melt any frozen heart (which I can picture her effect on the Ice Emperor Emhyr <3)

Ciri

-Brat, Brat, Brat. And she wears that title proudly. Were it not for Geralt and Yennefers' affection for her, I would've disliked Ciri at the start. But you can see her caring and protective heart when it comes to children and those she love. She's idealistic, as Avallach pointed out correctly, but I love putting her through tough decisions which led her to make the most adult decision and walk the path of the empress. Still, the brat title never goes away and it make the boring empress life much more interesting.

Halsin

This guy.... After being on a steady Emhyr diet, it was Halsin who got me to try a different fare. He was just my type! Big protector type with soulful eyes and a winning smile. Personality wise, the complete opposite of Emhyr. When playing BG3, I couldn't bring myself NOT to jump on him because he is that likeable. Whereas Sarah had to content with crumbs from Emhyr because of his imperial priorities, Halsin would give Tav the whole loaf and would sit beside Tav just to watch Tav eat and ask if all is to their liking. It is hard not to fall for Halsin!

Raphael

There is always that one NPC that is unreachable/un-romanceable not because they are unlikeable, but because fate (writers) says so. He is a goal you can never reach, and you make it so in fanon. Raphael is suave, sexy, debonair, and sinfully seductive that it is difficult (not impossible) to not sign your soul away. You have to roll a critical 20 just to break his grip on your heart and soul!

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Emhyr: except for Sarah, all his ships are platonic. But I do enjoy reading others shipping him with anyone. Depends on the writing.

Sarah: Emhyr. Only Emhyr. Everyone stays behind that friendzone barrier.

Ciri: Morvran Voorhis is the main love interest. Always! He is so calm and superior with everyone else, but when it comes to Emhyr's lil princess, he turns into this bumbling goof trying to impress her with his Nilfgaardian charms (lol). Honestly they grow on me as they do each other. Other than Morvran, I pair Ciri with anyone so long as they are written well, and isn't forced on me (you know who I mean).

Halsin and Raphael: besides Tav, anyone in the fellowship (maybe except Jaheira and Minsc). Also not with the Emperor.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Emhyr

Yennefer: shared aims that doesn't extent into the bedchambers. Also I think Emhyr is allergic to mages due to his past as The Urcheon.

Mererid: Loyal chamberlain. Purely servant to his master.

Geralt: Co-parent of their Child Surprise. Can't stand each other, but for the sake of Ciri, they have no choice but to work together.

Sarah

Mererid: he is her stuffy stick-in-the-mud uncle, and loves him that way.

Morvran: she treats him like a brother and ally. Nothing beyond that.

Ciri

Hjalmar..... HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Halsin

Minsc: The Rashemaar cant stand him and would love to one-up him on something!

Raphael

Mizora: they could compare souls they acquire and even make a bet on which of them could collect Tav's soul... or get to make out with Tav.

My unpopular opinion about this character

Emhyr: He is better for the Continent unlike the current rulers.

Sarah: Gurl, just tell Emhyr the truth and damn the consequences1 But then the fic wouldn't be this long if she just spilled the beans, eh?

Ciri: Girl is about as darling as mouthful of wasabi. She is an acquired taste, but once you do acquire it, you will defend her with your life!

Halsin: I wish it didn't take that long to connect with him on a romantic level because I had to spurn Astarion, Gale, Wyll, Karlach and Laezel (sorry Shadowheart) to live a monogamous relationship with him. Yeah I know he is into poly, but I am not.

Raphael: I want to see more of his horned form. I find his demon self sexier than his human skin.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

Emhyr

I wished he didn't fall for Vilgefortz bullshit. Then he wouldn't have to freeze himself and become an emperor with an ice block for a heart, thinking of doing the unthinkable to save the world. Thank goodness Emhyr didn't go through with it.

Sarah

Carrying the beacon (what is the beacon? It's a burden only she can bear). If not for it, she'd live a normal life as a noble. But without it, she'd never have met Emhyr.

Ciri

Wish she could renounce her powers, or never ended with The Rats. Honestly it was the darkest time of her life that I hated slogging through, so as much as I hate him- thanks Bonhart!

Halsin

Wish he went bear savage on those drows who captured him and had their way with him, instead of just taking it in and taking his time until it felt normal to him.

Raphael

Wish we could really get it on with him, and not just his incubus.

Thanks for the ask! Whew! Hope my answers entertains!

Impera Brigade OC Hendrik - In the context of the omega Emhyr WIP, Nest of Leathers

Hendrik, House of *redacted* - The youngest Impera Brigadier.

Hendrik is the second son of a minor house, disowned when his loose lips and open candour result in the greatest scandal amongst the Nilfgaardian nobility since the Usurper's coup.*

*This is all according to Mererid, so one might take that with a pinch of salt. The man is known for his dramatics.

In no certain order, the scandal involves Duchess Aep Dahy's prized show dog, an admiral's favourite hat, a young lady of questionable parentage and a young lord related to House Voorhis who was besotted with the aforementioned young lady.

Hendrik insists it was all a terrible misunderstanding. None of the Impera can get him to tell the full story and it isn't from a lack of trying.

In the small hours of the morning, lying side by side, Emhyr manages to coax the story from Hendrik once and only once. That morning, the entirety of the royal wing is prematurely woken by the ferocious howls of laughter coming from their Emperor.

Emhyr laughs so hard, hunched over on himself, that he manages to pull a muscle in his back and has to spend the rest of that day in bed. Which was perhaps fortuitous, because the Emperor continues to laugh until he is sedated.

Ciri spends months trying to get Hendrik to crack and tell her the story. He remains stubbornly silent to the point that she decides it may well be easier to get the story from Emhyr.

It is not.

When asked, Emhyr laughs hysterically until he pulls a muscle in his back again. Mererid unofficially bans the topic of Hendrik's disownment from the Imperial Palace lest the Emperor end up permanently bedridden.

Hendrik's path to the Impera Brigade

Emhyr acknowledges him once during a military skills competition held in the capital city, praising his archery skills. Emhyr mentions off-hand that the only man he believes could parry/evade Hendrik's attacks would be 'the Witcher', and that he was sure the mutagens would give the man an advantage.

Hendrik develops a disdain for Witchers, and a special disdain for whichever Witcher that had managed to catch the omega Emperor's eye and impress him, no less.

Hendrik applies to join the Impera Brigade. He is immediately rejected for his youth, lack of military accomplishments and lack of experience in close-range combat.

On the day of the rejection letter, Hendrik leaves his place as a senior archer in the calvary behind and applies to join the infantry, happily accepting a lower-paid, junior position that is rarely filled by a member of the nobility - no matter that he was disowned, Hendrik's blue-blooded Nilfgaardian accent never leaves him and a number of his new colleagues salute him upon hearing him speak, assuming he is their superior officer.

He applies to join the Impera Brigade so many times that his handwriting is recognisable on sight to the Impera recruitment officers.

After three years of serving in the infantry, Hendrik's successes in battle against Nazairrian highlander clans win him some hard-earned repute amongst his superiors.

Finally, after Nazair is conquered, Hendrik's request is approved. When he joins at 23, he is the youngest officer in the Impera's ranks and his fellow officers never fail to remind him of that.

That compliment, that acknowledgement from the Emperor and that fateful day of their meeting is enshrined in Hendrik's memory and shapes his future.

For Emhyr, it was a Tuesday...

-/-

Hendrik is uncommonly blunt for someone born to the Nilfgaardian nobility. His open honesty is often confused for naivety and many of his superiors have thought him skilled and obedient but not very bright - A perfect soldier.

Emhyr finds his honesty and good-tempered nature rather endearing. A biddable alpha who is happy to take direction from an omega is rare. Emhyr trusts him.

-/-

Hendrik's scent - the blue roses of Nazair and the metallic scent of iron

Emhyr's scent - candied ginger and citrus, when he's upset or stressed, which he almost always is, he smells like burnt sugar and charred lemon peel

When Emhyr is happy or aroused, the scent of the spicy candied ginger is much stronger than the smell of citrus.

[tigerlyla-of-metinna]

@valandhirwriter I'm afraid I might disappoint you with my version of Emhyr :p. In my headcanon, all ships with Emhyr are platonic:

Sexuality Headcanon and Gender Headcanon: Cis man, straight and stiff as a strippers pole :D. He takes in a lover or two into his tower on a nearly daily basis. Of course, when the day's work are stressfull enough that his stoic demeanor cracks, the sex gets to be... creative. Might involve a third party or some toys. Work hard, plough harder! He really doesn't form any emotional attachment to his lovers as he thinks they are there to sleep their way into the throne. Might as well have his fun with them until they no longer interest him.

A ship I have with said character: Ehehehehe... with my OC of course! Romantic ship is Emhyr x Sarah. Everything else is a platonic ship. Buuuut.... since I am quite partial (oh who am I kidding, I am nutso about yaoi) I indulge in some m/m pairing with Emhyr. Heck, I've even been reading your little drabbles and I'm like this meme:

"Emhyr/Roche, Emralts??? Piqued my curiosity!" And I've mentioned before in the past, good writing can win me over! So... there is hope for me yet!

A BROTP I have with said character: Mererid would normally disapprove of the budding affection he notice between Emhyr and Sarah. I mean, the emperor dallying with the help is like a kings worst nightmare: his son running off with the scullery maid. But seeing Emhyr smiling genuinely, no hidden motive of, say, "someone will hang that's why I'm happy", makes the chamberlain think- this isn't so bad. Emhyr has very little to be happy about, and if his happiness came from a forest unknown, then let him have his little light of joy! Also, he will eventually earn back some of his daughters' affection. Time and circumstances can heal even the deepest of wounds. Antis might rip my windpipe for saying this but I must remind you, tis my headcanon!

A NOTP I have with said character: Emhyr with anyone related to him. Just not my kink, y'know. There are specific pairings I will not mention cuz someone might get their feefees hurt.

General Opinion over said character: Overall, he is a fascinating human! he gives off an appearance of strength, determination and cruelty. A man of great focus (yeah quoting John Wick here) and will do whatever means necessary to achieve his goals. That is, until he saw his daughter's tears, we saw his heart isn't completely frozen. And that is the beauty of this man. Incredibly and beautifully flawed! Just wanna give him a hug (well, I made Sarah to give him a hug and more)

Now you know! Plain and boooring. Now make like smoke and disperse!

SEND ME A CHARACTER AND I’LL DO THIS;

Sexuality Headcanon: Gender Headcanon: A ship I have with said character: A BROTP I have with said character: A NOTP I have with said character: A random headcanon: General Opinion over said character:

[do-androids-dream-ao3acc]

hello! :D

emhyr, gaunter o'dimm & eliot waugh for the ask game please :3

Oi, those are all good :)

How I feel about this character, Emhyr ... complicated, conflicted. I don't actually like Emhyr. I like my version of him, which is mostly TW3 and a tiny bit books. My personal Emhyr is my little meow meow. 😂

How I feel about this character, Gaunter o'Dimm Don't like that guy. I do have a thing for a good villain, yes, but I just somehow don't like him. He's creepy. Sorrrrrrriiiiiii (I know I have a couple of Gaunter stans in my followers)

How I feel about this character, Eliot Waugh Oh, Eliot. I loooooooove Eliot. He's an asshole, but he's also so funny and sensible and conflicted and... he's got it all!

All the people I ship romantically with this character, Emhyr Geralt. And nobody else, with one exception: Lux (@valandhirwriter's OC). All the people I ship romantically with this character, Gaunter Yikes, nobody!

All the people I ship romantically with this character, Eliot Quentin, of course. And a bit Margo, though I rather see her as his soulmate.

My non-romantic OTP for this character, Emhyr Mmmmh. Mererid 😂

My non-romantic OTP for this character, Gaunter o'Dimm Gods above... Gaunter and his shadow, for all I care 😂

My non-romantic OTP for this character, Eliot Waugh Margo!

My unpopular opinion about this character, Emhyr Most of the book canon has never happened. LALALALALA

My unpopular opinion about this character, Gaunter o'Dimm He's a bully!

My unpopular opinion about this character, Eliot Waugh Uh... I... don't have an unpopular opinion about Eliot!

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon, Emhyr CANON NEVER HAPPENED

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon, Gaunter o'Dimm I wish Regis would have eaten him for breakfast.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon, Eliot Waugh I wish we would have seen even more of all the years with Quentin!

OMG that was so much fun, thank you! :)

[catgirlalchemist]

someday i will have my character designs down enough to draw something other than "figure standing in void." the loops on mererid's left vambrace are to help her shield stay strapped to her arm, since she can't hold it.

[briarfox13]

I would love to know more about Lillie. :) I really like her design too. (And I love OCs. They give me so much joy :3)

Aagh thank you!! <3 That’s ever kind of you to ask =) And I totally agree, OC’s are the best!!

Lillie was my very first Witcher OC back when I first read the books and she’s one of my favourites <3 Her ship is very unusual as it’s with Emhyr var Emreis, a character not many like so I tend to shy away from talking about it even if I want to. But here goes! =D

Lillie is the only daughter of a noble family from Temeria, with the Crows Perch and swamps as their nearest neighbours. She has one brother, called Rowan who she tormented as siblings do-her favourite past time was to chase him around the house and courtyard, she still does this as an adult. 

She loves to read anything she can get hold of and has been known to break into people’s private libraries to get boks, horse riding, word games.

Lillie’s best skills are talking to people and getting them to do what she wants. But she’s a kind and caring person, who fights for what she believes in. Stubborn, fierce, fiesty and beautiful are all words people who’ve met her use. 

She loves wearing, red, blue and cream colours in her recognisable stripy dress! She’s ever so Temerian and wears a Temerian lily around her neck.

Their parents aren’t often around, usually at the court of KIng Foltest or away on business: they are both very good ambassadors leaving Lillie and Rowan to run the estate and lands when they were older. 

She inherited her parent’s people and manipulation skills, soon rising to prominence along with her beauty-she is often known as “The Lily of Temeria” as a pun on her name. Eventually she left Rowan tpo happily manage their home and went to Foltest’s court where was was prompt trained as an ambassador and sent to Nilfgaard with the prompt of “Be as annoying as possible” one of her specialities. 

In her time as the Temerian Ambassador to the Empire of Nilfgaard, she managed to stop several motions, annoy pretty much most of the higher nobles, Emhyr’s advisors and Emhyr himself XD Though she gets on very well with Morvran and Mererid, the chamberlin. 

Lillie is not afraid of the Emperor and it shows, having interrupted him a couple of times. They sort of bond over having to sit in boring meetings for hours on end (she pulls faces and rolls her eyes at him). She intrigues him as she’s just as fierce and clever as he is. It’s when she finds his private library to *borrow* books when they start having a relationship and she becomes his mistress. She ends up falling in love with him. 

But because I like keeping to canon, unfortunately their relationship doesn’t last forever with the arrival of False Ciri so Lillie goes home to Temeria and helps her brother run their home. It’s there she meets Eskell and ends up I suppose in a rebound kind of relationship-though she does have genuine feelings for him. 

Together they have a bittersweet time together. But again it doesn’t last because I’m mean =P Not long after Eskell travels to Kaer Morhen for the winter she succumbs to a fever (or maybe a broken heart) and passes away still quite young. 

And that is the epic tale of Lillie =D 

I’m hoping to turn this all into two fics at some point when I finish my other projects! I even have the titles for them =)

I’m sorry @wholelottatiffy I also may have rambled somewhat =P Thank you for asking!! I really appreciate it <3 I hope you like it

[tigerlyla-of-metinna]

Ohh an ask-back!

2. What character(s) do you find the most difficult to write for? Why?

Just one: this guy

Honestly, I still have no idea if I did Mererid justice in my fics.

6. If you listen to music when writing, what were you listening to when writing [Fanfic Name]?

I was listening to Interrupted by Fireworks (FF7 OST) when I wrote Chapter 25: Fireworks and Farewells (A Painting of You) to get in that romantic yet melancholic mood.

24. Do you prefer AUs with the characters, or sticking to the original universe?

Can't alter the events in canon so I prefer AUs with characters acting canonically (if that makes sense) as much as possible. And what's nice about it is that since it is its own universe, the AU stories doesn't collide with both canon and others AUs. Everyone can get creative as much as they want!

I've made OCs and AUs in other fandoms: X-Men (OC Diabolique), Transformers (OC Skylark), Thundercats (OC Leona lame I know but I was young!). Ahhh good times! Goooood times!

Fanfic writer asks 16, 23, 26 and 38. Thankies!

Thanks for asking @tigerlyla-of-metinna

16. What fanfic tropes do you avoid writing for?

Dare I admit, that my trope awareness is limited? I avoid A/B/O usually, though I might dare do it, if it was for a good friend. I totally avoid coffeshop/highschool/other mundane AUs, because I really cannot get into them. I do avoid Trans!AU stories, for the simple reason that my knowledge of the matter is too limited to write it in a good fashion, and I don't want to contribute to misconceptions of the subject matter.

23. How much do you stick to canon? 

Now that's a complicated one, truly, because it is a total balance with me. On the one hand, most of my stories take a "What if..." Question and roll from there, exploring the snowball effect of the events, and hence totally disregarding or changing the canon line of events as they transpire. On the other hand I try to keep the lore of the world intact, be it geography, world basics and so forth. It is a weird balance, as I tend to write stories, that will upend the line of events set forth by canon, because one thing changed, causing another change... and suddenly the world wasn't quite the same, which runs counterintuitive to keeping the world lore intact. So I usually approach it like this: it is the world that we know and love, with it's basics firmly in place, but the story that happened wasn't quite the one we read before.

I have to admit, that I also see canon als already done by the author. That's the story, the author wrote, and he wrote the master version of it, no need to re-do that version by a lesser writer. Hence I always try to tell a different story, often my stories are a kind of dialogue with canon.

26. Are titles for your stories easy to come up with? 

Yes. While I often start with a working title, somewhere along the writing process, the title just comes to my mind, or I find the right words for the title. Chapter titles take a bit more thinking.

38. What story of yours are you surprised that people liked as much as they did? 

and

Especially Sine Qua Non, as I think it is one of my weaker writings.

May I ask you about 2, 6 and 24?

Fic Update: A Painting of You Chapter 9

After a long time of no update, I finally posted the next chapter. Sarah (Witcher OC) is, once more, dragged into the service of the emperor. Apart from Morvran Voorhis, she also meets another familiar character: the chamberlain Mererid, and a brief appearance of Peter Eversten. Sorry for the delays: it’s been crazy all around with the global situation, politics, work and personal problems.

Here is an excerpt of the chapter: Morvran Voorhis divulges little of what is happening in the empire.

“The palace? What purpose can I serve other than as a chambermaid?” Sarah asked, walking beside him at arm’s length.

“The palace has more than the required servants that even servants have servants” he grinned, then sniffed at the kerchief-again. “You have skills, Lady Sarah. How you saved the emperor from certain death, is not lost to us. Upon his return, Emperor Emhyr told us of his ordeal, and your involvement in his survival. Even showed the scar: an impressive one at that.”

“So I can patch a wound, any physician can do that. I just happen to be at the right place at the right time-“ she paused, going back to what he said about her saving the emperor. Her ears barely registered the ambient sounds, including the way their shoes scrapped the ground while walking.

 “Are you saying the emperor is in danger?” she asked tentatively, feeling something cold settling in her stomach.

“Im afraid so.”

“How grievous the injury, if I may ask?”

“He is dying.”

Artfight prep continues with a reference sheet for Mererid!

[catgirlalchemist]

"a helping hand"

i really liked the head/pose for the last version i did of this, so i just made a copy of the file and redrew the clothes. i did really like the last outfit but it didn't feel specifically early medieval enough.

[catgirlalchemist]

"a helping hand"

something something excessive polish is the death of art so here's a mererid as-is

[catgirlalchemist]

Mererid verch Vanw, wolf-clothed of Brecheliant, champion of the mortal realm.

Who doesn't love a good Act 3 makeover and/or traumatic amputation?

[catgirlalchemist]

Mererid verch Vanw

By nature quiet and intense, and by cultivation kind, with a helping hand always at the ready, Mererid is a young wolf-clothed of the Brecheliant Greenwood in the land of Ynys Cantrevi, born both woman and wolf.
