i love it when characters are package deals, i love duos i love trios i love quartets, i love groups and squads, i love it when you can’t find one without the other(s), i love it when they’re glued at the hip, i love it no matter the context of these dynamics, i lov
#the hanza is the ultimate because each individual duo/pairing has their own distinct and funny dynamic#remember that time geralt and cahir were trapped in the mountains together. i can say that bc it happened#remember when milva and cahir met and he goes ‘i knew i would get a chance to give you back your arrow elf’#and she goes ‘im not an elf nilgaardian’ and hes like ‘im not nilfgaardian’#and then we cut to an actual elf and nilfgaardian (isengrim pulling advanced honey tactics)#remember when they approached the refugee camp and dandelion and regis started talking about the symphony of human survival#and then milva: ‘why three dozen words when three will do? it stinks of shit and cabbage’#i think originally it’s like ‘half a hundred words’ but perhaps it was changed for alliteration?#remember when geralt dandelion and milva cuddled. for warmth#remember when everyone got drunk in regis’ hut and percival ended up sleeping in a bush outside using regis’ doormat as a blanket#zoltan and all of his company are honorary geralt’s company and vice versa ofc#remember when geralt ran into caed myrkvid to save his girls (and dandelion) and regis and cahir got left behind with roach#and when he got there and started slaying bandits milva spotted him and yelled IM COMING WITCHER DONT WORRY#and there was literally no one else to save him from because she had already shot them all#remember when geralt spoke to milva about her pregnancy#remember when geralt and cahir held the bridge and dandelion screamed ‘chickenhearts!’ and regis saved milva underneath the bridge#remember when cahir is injured and geralt tells angouleme to get help and she asks what will i tell the aunt and he tells her to tell regis#and then regis shows up and is cooking trout on a stick#remember when they get to beauclair and fall in love#remember when milva cahir regis and angouleme spent yule night together talking in the kitchen#remember that they all ate breakfast in the kitchen every morning for two or three hours except dandelion who broke his fast elsewhere#remember that when milva dies the entire rest of the company is doomed because it sends regis spiralling#remember that angouleme wanted them all to stay together and wanted to get them all elected to city council through nepotism#remember when dandelion has his vision of their ghosts only regis is absent suggesting they are eternally separated#tag: a hansa’s a hansa

I recently had surgery, and at the time I came home, I had both my cat and one of my grandma's cats staying with me.
- Within hours of surgery, I wake up from a nap to my cat gently sniffing at my incisions with great alarm.
- I was not allowed to shower the first day after surgery, and the cats, seeing that The Large Cat is not observing its cleaning ritual, decided I must be gravely disabled and compensated by licking all the exposed skin on my arms, face, and legs.
- I currently have to sleep with a pillow over my abdomen because my cat insists on climbing on top of me and covering my incisions with her body while I sleep (which is very sweet but not exactly comfortable without the pillow). She also lays across me facing my bedroom door, presumably on guard for attackers who may try to harm me while I'm sleeping and injured.
That's love. 🐈⬛🐈❤️
#why does this cat look like a descendant of lara dorren#tag: golden afternoon#i was a cat in my first life

As you likely well know, A Little Sacrifice is my favourite of the Witcher short stories. I'm a big fan of Little Eye and the old bugger she's friends with :')

i took elvish in school and i fucking hated it. the teacher was like 700 years old and he'd like take us on field trips to sit on the banks of babbling brooks and watch the fall of sunlight through the leaves. my friends in spanish class were like conjugating verbs and shit and meanwhile i was in an old-growth forest being overcome with awe at the sight of a majestic stag. like uhh yeah mr autumnheart when are we gonna learn like any grammar "listen to the murmur of the wind in the treetops, and you shall find the grammar you seek" like fuck dude your pedagogy leaves much to be desired
#oh no#not an elf but#tag: i’m not your uncle dear child#my teacher was like 400 uears old and he’d take me to sit on the moors of an evening and listen to the wind through the trees

A rare sight! a traditional piece of a tiny Ciri hiding behind Geralt's leg.

"Sen, który śni, jest snem czarownym i pięknym. Ale każdy sen, zbyt długo śniony, zamienia się w koszmar. A z takowego budzimy się z krzykiem."
- Andrzej Sapkowski "Wiedźmin"
#c: regis#book: lady of the lake#the witcher books#excerpt#i’m somewhat satisfied that i recognized this without the use of any online translator#just from remembering the english version because it is my favorite#and recognizing like 6 words here 🤣#hey… it’s not nothing…#as geralt thought to himself… ‘well… that’s progress’

the boys cuddling next to marcille’s lifeless comatose body
#i was going to tag this with my tag for geralt’s company#but it would actually be quite inaccurate not to mention ooc if i did#because in the two times milva was down the guys dropped everything for her and attended to her and defended her and anguished over her#because they were all brothers in arms… they would not desert each other…#wow they would never ignore her pain and actually her demise is what breaks the entire company and dooms them all#however perhaps this was cahir regis angoulême while milva was depressed in beauclair. that could be accurate#she’s not dead she’s just in the throes of relationship drama#you ever think that at stygga when regis was staring at milva’s dead body that he was remembering that last day of august#when they were both terrified and he saved her life despite it#and now there’s nothing left to save anymore#tag: a hansa’s a hansa
