Comfort.

after seeing yet another huge post where young people rail against AO3 and older people have to explain that censorship is bad actually, I gotta say that as someone who reads a fuck ton of books a year, these younger people could really benefit from doing the same for a little perspective. fucked up content is not just a fanfic thing, and with books, you don't get any warnings! you just turn the page and gaze upon the most fucked up scene of your life! these people do not know how good they've got it tbh just filter tags my lieges

Behold! I give you Muppet Jaskier! Inspired by this fantastic post from @mawbwehownets. I absolutely fell in love with this idea, and since I’d just watched the Muppet movies on netflix, I was overcome with the desire to make a muppet. I hope you don’t mind the liberties I took with the design.

Phew! Alright, I haven't seen a post about it here yet, but all writers and fans of the witcher need to go and download this FREE resource by Sara Thompson called 'Medicine on the Path'. It has amazing art, lore and will help improve the diversity and representation in your writing.

It has amazing new witchers like this guy, Joren of Ellander, a wolf school witcher.

And Vesemir doing witcher sign language, which I'm totally going to use when I borrow @tumbleweedtech's headcanon about Letho being hard of hearing.

There is so much, this is just a taster to whet your appetite.

Go download it! Share it!

Below the cut is the bingo card for Disability Pride Month 2021.

jaskier constantly flopping all over geralt, leaning against his side, using him as a back rest when they're sitting down, as elbow rest when standing, throwing a leg over his lap at campfires, just generally having no personal space with him.

and then one day geralt finally replies in kind, just lightly leaning his weight against jaskier's side when they're sitting down, and when jaskier doesn't protest or act differently he relaxes a bit more and leans a bit more heavily.

jaskier for his part is desperately trying not to make any sudden moves in case he scares him away like you do with a cat that finally trusts you

Jaskier: *Says something beautiful- poetic- profound- a quote for the ages*

Geralt: Eh. Dumb bard.

Also Jaskier: *Fights off a group of bandits with a dagger while snarling like a maniac and covered in mud*

Geralt: Hot. Gotta take my clothes off right now. Get over here you sexy, sexy man.

The meme really screams geraskefer so I had to draw them

[sootdust]

Jaskier and Geralt are at a tavern... someone begins talking shit about witchers.

Geralt: *Already has an idea on what’s about to go down* Jaskier, don’t—

Jaskier: *Ignoring him completely* Excuse me, I have to go make a scene.

[sootdust]

I just think geralt and jaskier should sit in a meadow of wildflowers and that's it.

Lmao I honestly did think anyone would see this, but people have so here’s a edited one

[sootdust]

my cat drinks very little water, which is worrying because cats in general tend to not drink enough water already, leading them to have kidney problems. the one exception to her drinking water is if i leave my own glass/mug out, then she will drink from it because it’s mine and obviously, illegal water tastes better. unbeknownst to her, i have been leaving my glasses of water around full to the brim and unattended so she’ll drink enough water. she thinks she’s soooo slick and i’m like HA LITTLE FELINE! YOU GET HEALTHY KIDNEYS! U HAVE BEEN BAMBOOZLED !

11 👀

Okay I know I said I wasn’t writing anything immediately but this one? I had to do this one.

11. Blood at the corner of your mouth

"You're a fucking idiot," Geralt says, tugging Jaskier into the alley behind him, presses him up against the wall to hide him with the bulk of his body.

"They fucking asked for it, you should have let me kick their ass, Geralt," he growls, shifting as if to duck under his arm and meet their assailants out on the street where Geralt can still hear them.

"Shut up. You're hurt."

"So? I'm fine." He grins, sharp and aggressive. His teeth are red with blood. Geralt's not sure if he bit his lip or the inside of his cheek, he hasn't had a moment to look.

"Jaskier," he hisses.

"What? I am."

"You're bleeding."

He just shrugs and makes to duck under his arm again.

"Son of a bitch--Jaskier," Geralt growls, gets an arm around his waist and hauls him back in, presses him back up against the wall, hard. "I'm not letting you go out there and get hurt again. Stop it."

"But they said--"

"And I don't care," he cuts off quickly. He knows what they said about him. He'd heard. He just hadn't expected Jaskier to spin around and deck one of them over it.

"I do," Jaskier spits, venomous. There's blood on his lips, vivid and bright. It makes Geralt sick to his stomach.

"I know," he says softly, raises a hand to run his thumb along his lower lip, wipe the blood at the corner away delicately. Jaskier stills. "I know, Jaskier. And it's not worth it."

"I hate it when you say that," he says, but his shoulders sag, the fight leaving him all at once, "It is worth it. You're worth it." Something in Geralt's chest flips uncomfortably. Jaskier believes that so wholeheartedly.

"It's not worth it if it hurts you," he says, hand drifting to cup his jaw, touch gentle. He wants to kiss him, thinks maybe he should kiss him. The look in Jaskier's eyes implies it might not be unwelcome, but--

"Come on," he says, drawing away, "let's get Roach and go. There won't be any room at the inn now."

He's not worth it, but Jaskier is. And he's not allowed to tarnish that by loving him.
