I should hate how mean or scared the peasants are to Witchers

But

If my friend went missing in the forest and the local mayor was like ‘no worries I hired a guy’ and then the most fucked up looking guy turned up. Like a he’s an intimidating leather biker gang looking guy who proceeds to downs a potion, of what you can only assume is a meth-coke-speed combo. Then he gets extra veiny and more fucked up looking and he begins to sniff the air and tells you about the trail he can now magically see. He later emerges covered in blood saying ‘your friend is dead’ shows you the head of the gnarliest creature and demands payment.

Maybe I would develop a strong fight or flight vibe with that guy. Like the peasants don’t know he has a good backstory and a heart of gold (Until bards sung it) I’d start to pray he wont shank me while high af.

please someone tell me what I wanted to express with that one, I can't put it into words

The one siren he couldn't kill

Some of the fan art of Jaskier as a siren is absolutely adorable, and I couldn't pass this idea up.

And I drew the scabbards empty because I didn't have the patience to figure out the sword grips.

That one oomf who does not play about Yenskier (me)

[inanoldhousewrites]

“Tell me, Jaskier!” Jaskier quit his efforts. He forced a shaky breath. “I bought us time.”

a small piece (cause it doesn't look finished ik) inspired by a fic that I read about two years ago and it hasn't left my head since

[inanoldhousewrites]

No witcher has ever died of old age, so they have to watch their loved ones do it instead.

human witcher jaskier

imagine, for a second, witcher Jaskier ... who isn't actually a witcher, but he's trying his damned hardest at it.

after he splits from Geralt at the mountain, people keep recognising him as "the witcher's bard," and they think the witcher isn't far behind him. they give him contracts and ask him for help, except ... well, Geralt isn't here, is he? but witchers are a dying breed. how many more people will die before an actual witcher will finally meander into town? Jaskier can't just turn away people in need!

so, what does he do?

he puts down his precious lute, picks up a silver sword, and he uses the long-ago sword lessons he learned as a noble's son to dispatch the nekker's nest.

he employs his own skills and uses the knowledge he gained from Geralt over the years. and he almost dies and gets hurt really badly, but the job is done! he actually did it! and when he goes to confirm the kill with the alderman, he lies and says that Geralt is tending to his wounds while Jaskier picks up the money.

this creates a dangerous pattern of Jaskier unwittingly picking up contracts when given them, even fighting off larger monsters sometimes. he eventually stops lying about Geralt being around and just takes on contracts himself. this creates rumors that travel fast, about a human taking on witcher contracts, and succeeding. and let's just say, actual witchers? well, they're mighty curious about this little human parading around as one of them.
