the return of jask-o'-lantern

MCD HEADCANON WARNING:

Sometimes... Sometimes I make myself sad thinking about Geralt dying and Jaskier selfishly keeping his medallion even though witcher funerary rites demand that a witcher’s medallion be returned to their family because he can’t handle the truth and the medallion is the only thing of Geralt he has left and you can’t make him give that up—

Jaskier never taking it off.

Jaskier wearing it under his clothes so it can touch his skin.

Jaskier holding the pendant in his hand as he falls asleep.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Geralt’s supposed to outlive Jaskier. Geralt’s supposed to be fine. And it wasn’t even a battle that took him out like it should have been, it was a bloody infection. And Jaskier barely made it to Brokilon forest where he’s held by the dryads to say goodbye—he walked for days on end with nothing but his clothes and his lute—and Geralt never even knew.

Geralt died before Jaskier could tell him. At least he could say goodbye to his sleeping body. At least he could see him take his last breaths.

Yennefer says Geralt knew, thinking it would help Jaskier—but that just makes it worse.

Jaskier doesn’t sing for months.

And Vesemir only knows something is wrong when Geralt doesn’t return home for the winter, and come spring, he goes to find Jaskier, knowing the bard he’s never met but heard so much about would probably know where to find Geralt.

Jaskier was supposed to be beautiful, according to Geralt. This man was a shell. And Geralt’s nowhere to be seen. And then… it hits him. And all he does is hold out his hand expectantly.

And Jaskier silently moves away, hand over his chest. His voice shakes. “No. No, you can have it when I die.”

And Vesemir can live with that. Because Geralt loved Jaskier. And Vesemir tells him as much. And from Yennefer it’s a lie to him. But from Vesemir? From Geralt’s father?

Jaskier just folds under the grief and disappointment, sinking to his knees, and starts sobbing because he could have had him. And Vesemir just stares. And for the first time in centuries, he feels the urge to cry too.

This is Ruin's month and I miss them.

Do you guys think we'll get a new song from Joey in Sirens of the Deep?

I don't remember if it was a thing or not but I really hope so I really miss his singing!

Like father, like daughter :D

Blossom for me is about the end of a really bad relationship and the start of a really good friendship with someone else

one of my favourite things about the amazing devil is that they explore more than just your average romantic relationship in their songs, there's so many different dynamics touched upon

to me Fair and Marbles are the only songs that are 100% about still standing/ successful romances (though i love that Marbles seems to be about an older couple)

you've got Wild blue yonder which to me reads like a romantic relationship where they've both realised they're better off as friends and should call it quits but are bonding over being scared of the uncertainty without the other

there's That unwanted animal about a relationship turned sour that they're trying to keep from falling apart mostly with sex but it's just not working

Welly boots has always read as a father who has passed away looking down on his daughter who is struggling in her grief

Chords about parents watching their child grow up and gain independence and their struggle with that alongside how proud they are

Drinking song for the socially anxious contains a relationship that has always read as a strong budding friendship (or qpr) to me of two likeminded people finding each other in an unlikely place

Little miss why so talks about a failed relationship but in such a deep way it doesn't feel like just a break up song

and there's probably even more I can't think of right now but I just adore the exploration of different relationships that aren't just classic romance

Which one's yours?

All I’m saying is that if I had a full length song of Madeleine humming like she does at the beginning of Drinking Song for the Socially Anxious that I could play as a lullaby to go to sleep every night that I would fall asleep faster and wake up more rested than anyone has ever been ever and I firmly believe that

I can’t believe it took me this long to draw her!
