headcannon that Witchers are obligate carnivores and it means they can't just drink normal tea they have to brew that shit with bones in it or something or else it upsets their sensitive tummies.
like whenever Jaskier is brewing tea in camp and turns away for a second Geralt tosses in little bones he won't notice until its time to drink up and little pieces of white bone just plink into his cup. trying to get answers out of Geralt for something like this is a fool's errand so Jaskier just has to figure out why this is happening over time.
made all the more frustrating by Geralt getting miffed about Jaskier not eating the little bones and calling him wasteful and taking them for himself to eat. "the crunchy bits are the best part of tea."
but Geralt will not just call it soup. will not just ask for bone broth with herbs in it. it's "tea" and special "Witcher tea" when Jaskier won't let it go. and people think Jaskier is the dumb and pretty one of their pair.
but the other Witchers all do it to some degree, and if Jaskier wants a hot drink experience that doesn't taste wildy off and like shit he has to start just making broth or soups. crushed rosemary and garlic and a hefty helping of salt along with a big marrowy bone at least.
if he wants his own tea he has to brew it after Geralt is asleep or meditating or off on a hunt becaus he ALWAYS sneaks little bones or chunks of meat into it even when its only for Jaskier. he complains enough about it that Geralt buys a little tea pot Just For Jaskier that he promises not to mess with (but still does because surely the bard will die without animal fat and protein in every cup. Jaskier has to burst into tears for Geralt to stop in truth).
Geralt is delighted that tea is good now--he had no idea humans knew how to make a good Witcher tea! ah the bard has been holding out on him the strange little herbivore. glad he finally saw sense.
now if Jaskier would believe Geralt when he says he can't taste sweet things and stop trying to feed him pastry and wasting their hard earned coin on things that aren't even real. like sugar.
Ciri gets bit by a tick when she's on the run from Nilfgaard the first time and becomes deathly allergic to meat and it is SO upsetting to the Witchers. why even live.

thinking about jaskier who finds good fathers irresistable. the sight of any man gently taking care of his children will have him go awwww and head over heels fall in love. but only. with men. who. aren't. geralt.
geralt: hmm did i mention, very casually, that i'm going to take care of ciri now. you know, ciri, my daughter who i adopoted during a literal war, and fought literally every bad guy in the world to protect. ciri, who i, a good father, love and care for deeply--
meanwhile, jaskier, looking at a passing farmer letting his daughter do the piggyback: dilf! dilf! dilf! dilf! 😍😍
#geraskier headcanon#geraskier#jaskier: aww look at that guy buying a plushie for his daughther because she's scared of monsters#geralt immediately: look at me also buying a plushie for ciri because she's scared of monsters :3#jaskier: huh wait is she not too old#geralt (realizing ciri is now 19 and an independently working witcher who fights monters for a living) : ...so she is

hi i just thought about the fact that Ciri is probably THE LAST witcher. girl is the heir to Cintra, the only surviving Rat and the last witcher. brb gonna go sob......
ciri really is the Final Girl…
also this makes me think about her returning to the world to take eskel, lambert, and vesemir by the hand and into the cold, wet fog… 🥲
#its my headcanon that vesemir dies of old age eskel is eaten by a monster and lambert is killed by another witcher 🤔#but these are JUST headcanons based on their traits (old. normal guy. fighty.)#because we already know how coën… AUGH 😭#i love the continuity from triss and the witchers talking about war. to coën going to brenna. the thread was sewn tightly here#the witcher books#electricbluenb#ask#c: ciri

so ive come up with a new au idea,,,,,
FF7 x The Witcher
because we can all see cloud as geralt right???!!!?? like, clouds wolf emblem in ac??
this au isnt gonna be 1 to 1, its gonna have its own original plot, but there will def be a lot of parallels
so heres my assignments so far:
cloud - wolf school witcher (geralt)
zack - wolf school witcher, has gone missing
angeal - oldest wolf school witcher (vesimir)
aerith - elven bard (jaskier/dandelion)
tifa - sorceress (triss)
nanaki - monster cloud was paid to kill but instead saves, feels indebted to cloud and has no home so he becomes clouds traveling companion
shinra - imperial empire (nilfgard)
barret - shinra resistance leader
yuffie - runaway princess after her father willingly lets shinra take over their kingdom (somewhat like ciri, but not a child of destiny)
vincent - 'retired' viper school witcher, cursed by a monster to slowly turn into one
reeve/cait - reeve is the mage advisor for rufus, cait sith is a fae cat creature he is soul bonded with
cid - dwarf blacksmith
sephiroth - powerful mage from another sphere, wants to avenge his mother being killed by humans after the conjunction of the spheres
jenova - replaces lara dorren???
anyways im having sm fun with this, i have a bunch more written down but this is the basics of it all
and yes, there will be clerith in this bcuz i love them and the witcher/bard dynamic is too fun >:3
#au#alternate universe#final fantasy 7#ff7#the witcher#witcher 3#final fantasy vii#cloud strife#geralt of rivia#clerith#ff7 au#ff7 headcanons#tifa lockhart#aerith gainsborough#yennefer of vengerberg#jaskier#witcher ciri#cirilla fiona elen riannon#video games#art#fanart#yuffie kisaragi#zack fair#sketch

♡ My thoughts on Yennskier + headcanons ♡
(Edited post)
- What makes this whole thing so funny and exciting to me is that Yennefer used to think that Jaskier was just some annoying sing songy twit before. While Jaskier's dramatic arse used to consider Yennefer an enemy until she saved him from Rience XD XD XD
- I adored the everliving FUCK out of their scenes together in season 2! Their dynamic is so fucking good! AAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!
- Yennskier, the ship we didn't know we needed, but definitely deserved! Their chemistry is so fucking perfect and their dynamic works so well!
- Personally I think that this ship is actually, currently, THE healthiest and most wholesome one of all my Jaskier ships! At least as of season 2! (Even if Geraskier remains as my OTP)
- In Oxenfurt, when Jaskier and Yennefer got to know eachother better without Geralt's presence to distract them both, ever since they saw the real, raw and vulnerable sides of eachother and became friends, I couldn't help but notice how absolutely toothrottingly perfect they are together!
- Legit, and I kid you not! I can't picture Yennefer and Jaskier having anything other than that deep kind of connection where you know that you are loved, appreciated and adored, despite all your flaws. The kind of love where you know you're not alone, that this person is your family and will always have your back no matter what.
- Yennefer, despite being one of the most powerful sorceresses on the entire continent, treats Jaskier as an equal by the time Ciri gets possessed. (Bro, like even Geralt doesn't do that! Jaskier is his friend, sure, but I've never seen Geralt treating him as an equal.)
- Yennefer and Jaskier have a mutual respect for eachother, they trust eachother, they enjoy eachother's company. All of those things are A CRUCIAL part of having a solid foundation to build a honest, sturdy, long-lasting and happy relationship upon.
- From compatibility POV, they work together a lot better than Geralt and Yennefer did. With Jaskier, there are no djinn related consent issues, there wouldn't be any communication issues and he would probably be a positive influence on Yennefer's mental health.
- Whereas her relationship with Geralt was quite frankly chaotic, explosive, sometimes even toxic. It was built upon a shaky foundation of lust, djinn magic and exchanged favors. Like c'mon, their time together as an on-and-off couple mostly consisted of having kinky unicorn sex, trauma dumping, dealing with magical, gorey and insanely dangerous situations, then talking about said situations until they have a fight! Leaving eachother every time in the end because they can't seem to make it work long-term. They're incompatible because in canon, the only thing that finally made them stick together for good, was an orphaned girl in need of protection. It's not right, kind of like parents who are postponing their divorce until their daughter grows up :/
- Jaskier on the other hand, despite his magic-less ordinary humanity has a hilariously witty, optimistic, stupidly brave, highly empathetic, loyal and supportive personality. Yennefer would have an understanding partner who loves her, cherishes her, acceptc her for who she is without judgement nor pity. A partner who would make it his life's mission to help her see the good things this world has to offer, to make her happy because she deserves it!
- Damn it all, they both have been through enough, they both deserve a break. They actually GET eachother. I can already feel a drabble forming in my brain, set a week or so after the whole Voleth Mier shebang, Jaskier is struggling with PTSD and nightmares about Rience, Yennefer is struggling with guilt and shame because she put Ciri in danger. So while Geralt is too busy with Ciri's training to be there for Jaskier and he feels too betrayed to be in Yennefer's company, neither Yen nor Jask have anyone to turn to in Kaer Morhen, except eachother. Three months confined to a witcher keep together? Now that is a LOT of time to spend with someone you can be openly vulnerable around, bond with, heal and share joy with, unexpectedly falling in love....
- Yennefer too is an extremely good match for Jaskier, it's almost uncanny how much she completes him! Jaskier would finally have an understanding and loving partner who truly saw him when others didn't bother. And Yennefer liked what she saw, the familiar face of a simple human bard who offered kindness and compassion to strangers even if it could kill him. She saw courage, honesty, forgiveness and so much good, a collection of rare qualities she had never thought could exist within one single person all at once. After Voleth Mier, all that goodness was given to her so freely, it is still being given to her everyday, so she knows a treasure when it looks her right in the eyes with such easy warmth. She would make it her life's mission to cling onto him with everything she's got, to love and cherish him the way he deserves, to protect the only person she deems worthy of holding her heart!
- They have a lot in common too. From both having a knack for fashion, both being mischievous little shits at heart and both having high standards when it comes to personal hygiene. To also having similar tastes in both alcohol, humor, luxury and entertainment.....if Yennefer's kinky orgy party and Jaskier's reputation as the biggest slut on the continent is anything to go by.
- Speaking of sex, both of them having a high libido and exceptional skills in bed aside, they're fucking GORGEOUS people! Why wouldn't they find eachother attractive?
- Yennefer is basically a Goddess, beauty personified! She is elegant and breathtaking, everyone knows it.
- However, since a majority of the Witcher fandom usually dismisses Jaskier in favor of simping for Geralt, I can, I must and I WILL gush about how pretty Jaskier is! Cuz clearly some of them bitches be blind, Yennefer is one lucky witch!
- Jaskier is like only 1,5 inches shorter than his grouchy snowman friend. Meaning he is tall as all hell and he definitely isn't lacking in the muscle department either, that bard is jacked yo. His voice is soothing and his vocabulary is extensive enough to make the most experienced of whores blush from pillow talk. He has VERY soft looking hair and he has one of the most angelic fucking faces I've ever seen. His eyes are the clearest shade of blue and his expressions + mannerisms are absolutely adorable! Ok, I'm done gushing, onto the next point....
- Unlike Jaskier, I don't think I have a dummy thick enough of a vocabulary to express how much dopamine Yennskier fanfics give me, more specifically when their husband and wife act from Oxenfurt becomes an inside joke for them, leaving the rest of Kaer Morhen's inhabitants confused as fuck.
- Geralt getting a bit jealous? His brothers wondering when that could have happened? Ciri feeling bamboozled as well?
- It's all shits and giggles until somebody giggles and shits. It won't take long until their inside joke is no longer a joke. They already bicker like a married couple anyway XD
- I can not help but also headcanon Jaskier as not fully human. It would be sad if he up and died on his dear immortal wife. I don't necessarily picture him having chaos or other powers in this scenario, but when I do, I think that they would discover them together on accident.

Geralt bringing Ciri back to Kaer Morhen as a toddler and getting petty revenge on Lambert for something by asking him to keep an eye on her while he goes and speaks with Vesemir. He doesn't mention that she's recently entered the "Why?" Phase and Lambert lasts about twenty minutes before he kicks the door to Vesemir's room open, dumps a giggling Ciri on the threshold and walks off again. Geralt and Vesemir both acknowledge that he lasted longer than they thought he would before Vesemir lifts her onto his lap, asking a little too innocently if she wants to hear funny stories about her Papa.

As we anticipate the release of volume two of Witcher season three, I'd like to share a hypothetical prediction about a potential transition from Henry Cavill to Liam Hemsworth in the role of Geralt.
But it does involve ending season three on a cliffhanger. Season three should end with Geralt joining the wild hunt.
This would be inspired by the games. It mentions that Geralt ended up joining the wild hunt for a short period of time to save Yennefer. He was then later freed by Ciri although Geralt got amnesia.
Season three should end with that set-up. Geralt being captured by the wild hunt and Ciri vowing to try to get him back.
Then you can start season four and explain that Geralt's new appearance came from his time in the wild hunt.

Hi! Any headcanons for Ciri's death in Imperial AU?
.....
.....
My headcanons for Ciri's demise?
Ok!
Ciri passed away of old age. On her bed. Peacefully. Surrounded by loved ones. People of the continent remembers her and her golden rule fondly. History immortalized her as The Unifier.
The Empress, who is also a Witcher.
And she still has her ashen-haired head firmly attached to her shoulders!

This place is dedicated to Ciri as a character, her journey, the possibilities of how her life goes.
I save snippets and ideas and canon or fanon here, that don't fit into my main account @regis-favorite-raven . And I want to give my 2nd favorite ship next to Geralt/Regis a platform too: Ciri/Dettlaff.
But since I read so many good stuff and wrote a side ship with Ciri/Cerys and read a lot if good stuff about her with other characters, I can't decide who I prefer. They are all damn good!
Ships I personally will only write as platonic because I don't want to write them otherwise: Ciri with Emhyr, Calanthe, Pavetta, Geralt, Vesemir.
Ships I don't want to write: Ciri/ anyone of the Rats. Maybe as flackback...
like I did with @gleamingsilence and that Geralt/Dijktra- ship, I take suggestions if you want to have snippets or ships with Ciri/... or Ciri& ... and I might write something small here if I have ideas.
and I am no fan of Instagram - tried it but Tumblr is more my thing.

Someone reminded me via mass spam in my inbox that I am indeed no multishipper, because I exclude canon pairings. Yes I don't write every pairing like I said already (book canon like Ciri/Mistle) . Add to the list one pairing: Roche/Ciri - highly unlikely I will write them, because my fic is lacking Gale who would consume Roche's ugly magic hat. I can't take responsibility for anyone reading anything involving his hat, except for Iorvet - he has seen so much and Silvanus gave him strength. Also Halsin approved their love and baked special cookies for them 😘🍪🍪🍪 (he appreciates weed so much - always sharing his pipe if being asked). But since he felt not comfortable to join Roche/Ciri (putting a bread in the oven) and thought that she should reach a certain age before stuffing her mouth with his special bear shaped co... cookies. Also Halsin is more into elves 😘 - I can't blame him. Maybe I can convince Iorvet to burn down Roche's head 😂

Witcher Gender Headcanons:
Geralt: Trans man
Yennefer: Trans woman (I will on rare occasion write cis Yen)
Ciri: Trans man
Triss: Cis woman
Dandelion: AMAB nonbinary, genderqueer
Philippa: Trans woman
Lambert: Trans man
Eskel: Trans man
Cerys: Trans woman
Ser Galahad: He/Him Butch, I vacillate between weather I HC them as transfem or transmasc, tbh.
If a character isn't listed on here, I either don't think about them much or I just see them as probably cis.

The Witcher Headcanon Master Post - Part 1
I finally went and did it! I finally got around to compiling all my currently completed Witcher Headcanons into one Master Post. I'm not including the Baby!Jaskier Interludes for the Trouble Headcanon because they are not finished yet. I have more in the works, so those will go in a separate post when they are ready!
Note: I've had a few helpful users point out that I don’t need to censor curse words and swears. I know I don't have to on tumblr, but it's a personal preference/choice. I don't have a problem with other people using that kind of language, I just choose not to use it myself.
Anyway, happy reading!

♡ Elder blood Jaskier headcanon ♡
(Edited post)
I actually had this headcanon for a while now, probably started tossing ideas around in my head a few days after I watched Blood Origin. Here is a special thank you to @melinoiaagesander for reminding me about it and inspiring me to do something about it as well. Seeing as I tend to be a very lazy person (executive dysfunction go brrr), I will not be writing a fanfiction unless the mood strikes and if that happens, I shall gladly fall victim to hyperfixation and shit out a 50 000 word masterpiece with very bad grammar. And no, if I do write it, I will not fix the grammar mistakes unless rereading it brings forth the fattest, most scrumptiously painful dose of cringe in my life.
So OK, here we go....
I think it is common knowledge (despite the few times I've seen posts from confused Witcher fans right after the mini series aired), that Ithlinne's prophecy was about Ciri, the Lion Cub of Cintra and the descendent of Elie & Fjall. However, thanks to a brief lapse in judgement on the production team's part, either because of the way it was shot and edited or the because of the way it was written, when Seanchaí recited the prophecy:
"The Lark's seed shall carry forth the first note of a song that ends all time, and one of her blood shall sing the last"
It came across as delightfully misleading to many of us, even if most of us quickly understood to whom Seanchaí was actually referring to. Still, my bleeding Jaskier stan heart has never felt more glee at the prospect of getting another little Netflix "oopsie" to play with! (The other one being that they forgot to age Jaskier in season 1 and then decided to not even bother for season 2)
Which is why I took my ritalin, rubbed my clammy, cold little fingers together like a cartoon villain and dug deep into the lore, to find a way to spin an intricate web of realistic and clever facts that would serve as my personal foundation for this exciting headcanon! Jaskier is another descendent of the Lark and her Witcher, he has elder blood coursing through his veins and is distantly related to Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon!
(If Netflix weren't a bunch of pussies and if a disgusting majority of the Witcher fandom weren't a bunch of gatekeeping, racist and homophobic Plot-Guardians, this could have been the coolest curveball ever! The adorable, frilly and fragile bumbling human of a bard, going from side-character to focal point.)
Let's lay down the groundwork:
(I AM SO GIDDY AAAAAHHH, somebody catch me, I think I'm gonna faint!!)
- While Witchers as we know them are sterile, Fjall is clearly not. Because his mutation process wasn't designed by a group of mages who spent a long time on optimizing the serum to better serve it's purpose. Fjall was an experimental prototype, created from desperation and a few rush-job elixirs, so his precious elf balls weren't tampered with.
- Elie and Fjall made love after Fjall's transformation, bringing the first child of elder blood into existence. Which happened ca 1200 years before the canon era that the main Witcher series is set in, meaning that Ciri has a shit ton of ancestors that predate her entire canonical family tree, all going unaccounted for.
- Jaskier, as we can obviously see, has visually not aged a single day since meeting Geralt in Posada at age 18-19 (don't quote me on this, finding a reliable info source is a nightmare). He traveled with Geralt on and off for approximately 20ish years, making him at least 40 in the Rare Species episode and at least a little bit over 40 in the Family episode of season 2. That alone has inspired hundreds if not thousands of headcanons about Jaskier not being entirely human, one of which is: Jaskier is part elf.
- And OH BOY, isn't that neat?!?!?! I mean, we see a talented young bard, whom everyone assumes to be human, whom Blood Origin's ending accidentally implied to be a descendent of another bard, an elven bard who lived 1200 years ago and had a child with an elven Witcher. That should be enough metaphorical fapping material for my brain, shouldn't it?
Not so fast....
What if instead of imagining that some long fossil type beat long dead ancestor, lost to history, somehow ended up siring a child into a family of Keracki Nobles (Lettenhove doesn't seem to appear on any map of the continent I could find, but several sources claim that it is a small Viscouncy located in Kerack).....I could instead put in some effort and figure out how to make things more interesting, how to make Jaskier's elder blood ancestor actually traceable and as an awesome bonus, make Jaskier's and Ciri's relation a little closer. Not by a lot, obviously, it wouldn't make sense, but just enough for a new dynamic for fanfiction writers to explore. Personally, the idea of it has the potential to heal my poor broken heart, I adore Jaskier so much, but the way the main 3 characters of the series have treated him until Yennefer finally grew a braincell makes me sad.
Geralt's shitty apology aside, Lambert's cranky "No" aside (yk what I'm talking about), Yarpen Zigrin's unfriendliness aside, I DID NOT enjoy the scenes in which Ciri interacted with Jaskier. This headcanon though? Oh man, if I only had enough juice in me to write something for AO3, spin some epic ass Jaskier-centric tale, sprinkle in some geraskier/yennskier/lambskier and tag it with fix-it? I would!
Back to business, this is Ciri's family tree, it has the royal family of Cintra, girlboss Calanthe is there, Ciri's mom Pavetta is there, her sick son of a bitch father too. As you can see, besides the unknown descendents of Elie and Fjall, elder blood has deep roots and it can all be traced back to these folks: Lara Dorren aep Shiadhal & Cregennan of Lod, as well as Cerro of Redania & King Vridank of Redania....however those two are of no importance to this post.
Instead of trying to squeeze Jaskier into the equation by picking some rando as far back in time as possible, I stumbled across a treasure when trying to go from the bottom up. That treasure being another direct descendent of Lara Dorren as well as Elie and Fjall, his name was Crispin!
See him there? He happens to be Queen Calanthe's grandmother's twin brother! Although his name box is blue and not red, unlike King Goidemar of Temeria, the line that leads us to him is dark red, which means he is of elder blood and bears the activator gene as well, just like his sister. Now, if one needs a sex partner with the green latent gene in order to awaken the dormant powers in this blood line (which although watered down, still is incestuous), then I am not sure how Jaskier could inherit the same powers as Ciri. I myself prefer to headcanon that since Lettenhove is in Kerack, the small Viscouncy is located near the borders of Brokilon and therefore the Pankratz family could easily have a few drops of mixed blood with one of the Brokilon nymphs.
I am not much of a biologist (despite getting good grades in it back in high school), but it does make sense to me that being at least a little bit mixed with nymph DNA could theoretically aid in strengthening Jaskier's elder blood & activator genes. Sort of like how dog breeders play God to make a better specimen for many different purposes. In Jaskier's ancestry case, I like to think that one of his forefathers got seduced by a Rusalka, found out that she used him to get pregnant and then stole the child from her and raised the kid alone, in doing so, introducing nymph DNA into the Pankratz lineage.
Back to Crispin
Crispin aep Amavet, turned out to have a rather convenient backstory!
Apparently, his mother, Anna Kameny, was married to Count Roger Kameny and less than a year before her twins were born, she had an affair with Prince Amavet of Temeria (Queen Calanthe's great grandfather and Ciri's 4x great grandfather).
So with Crispin and his twin sister Muriel the Delightful, both being children of Prince Amavet, making them illegitimate to Count Roger Kameny, their mother Anna had to fight in court three times so that her kids could inherit Roger's estate. Muriel was content with that, she didn't care that her real father was a Prince and didn't push to be recognized as Amavet's daughter. Kameny wealth and her beauty combined, she didn't have trouble finding a husband and leading a happy life.
Crispin on the other hand, knowing that he is of royal blood, proud of his elven heritage, wanted that relation validated. So he started wearing the Kameny coat of arms, which he had custom made to hint at who his real father is by adding burgundy to the Temerian lilies. This caused a MAJOR scandal, turns out his little stunt was illegal and he got his ass arrested. He payed a fine and swore to never repeat that mistake, but what did he do instead????
Yeah, he fucking did it again, enraging enemies and his own mother as well, who fought so hard for his "legality" for the Count title. After that, Crispin, as a massive "Fuck you" to everyone, joined a gang of mercenaries and referred to himself as Crispin aep Amavet. Time went by, battles were fought and eventually he just disappeared off of the face of the earth. People assumed that he died and they were glad about it...ain't that convenient?
For the sake of this headcanon, I think Crispin could have easily just gone into hiding, wandering the continent under a fake name and impregnating some Pankratz de Lettenhove lady in the process. Could have just been a one night stand and nobody would know, nobody would know that Jaskier is related to the Cintran crown, to Ciri herself, to Lara Dorren and finally to another bard, so much like himself, Ellie the Lark.
I fucking LOVE this headcanon to bits and pieces! There is so much here that one can play with! Like Jaskier's meeting with Seanchaí somehow triggering the dormant powers within him and what those powers would look like, I don't think the first sign of it would be a deadly scream. I like to think that his newly awakened chaos would somehow tie into his singing, there is so much potential here, so many ideas to explore!
In canon, Ciri is destined to destroy humanity and return the elves back to power, but Jaskier has already beat her to it a little, kick-starting the process by smuggling elves to Xin'trea.

Sorry for editing this post 5 times, I was still working on it while waiting for AVATAR to start at the Cinema and accidentally published it in panic when the lights went out. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed it and I hope that this post can be of use to you if you decide to write a fanfic about/inspired by it! :3
(Please tag me if you do, I would love to read it! May your writing process be smooth, may your updates be frequent and may AO3 maintenance not impact your creativity!)
