#i’m sooooo normal about the blorbos

school of the viper headcanons

these are not edited and probably not canon compliant but fuck it we ball

they can’t regulate their internal temperature as well as other witchers, so they have to soak up warmth from somewhere else. you’ll often see vipers curled up as close to their campfires as possible when traveling or taking a nap on a nice warm rock.

gorthur gvaed is filled with era-equivalent space heaters

an older viper some centuries back developed hand warmers. it’s a necessity when traveling.

vipers aren’t outwardly affectionate to each other. you’ll know if one trusts you if they offer to make your potions or food (i like you enough to not poison you) or if they turn their back to you

on the rare occasion that they are more affectionate, they will huddle for warmth or wrap around one another. they may also rub their heads/cheeks together, but not often.

on the whole, vipers are loyal and protective of one another, but have difficulty showing it. vipers on the path tend to avoid one another

building immunity to toxins started as soon as you were recruited. trainees (read; children) would be required to drink poison and identify toxic plants, often running the risk of getting severely ill or dying. older witchers were instructed to slip poison onto food or drinks too

you learned pretty quickly to either smell out whatever was on your food or be tough enough to ride it out

vipers will never eat food they haven’t seen prepared. they go hungry more often than not.

vipers who can get away with it conceal their status as a witcher. a lot of people have crossed paths with one and never known

someone made a hc that vipers will wear other schools’ medallions before an assassination and i love that

vipers are smaller than wolves or bears but more built than cats

the cats and vipers are sister schools. they hate each other and need each other. it’s very strange to see. toxic yuri

cats and vipers are known to trade or buy things off one another, with vipers being able to make quality potions and cats being able to procure harder to find ingredients. they also had similar training so on the rare occasion they work together, they mesh really well

however they will most likely attack one another when out in the wild — cats and vipers both take human jobs, and cats especially are known for poaching jobs that vipers may be interested in

a relatively new practice is “getting your teeth”. after a hard hunt, vipers will have a procedure to get retractable fangs in their mouth. they can load poisons and tear through pretty much anything at the cost of being extremely close combat. vipers without fangs are sometimes called “nibbles”.

maybe also split tongues. is that too quirky

best eyesight among all witchers, which makes it even funnier that vipers keep going blind/get eye trauma

like cats but opposite — their mutagens dulled their emotions to an extreme, so young vipers tend to be extremely blunt and rude. older vipers have learned to fake their emotions to “normal” levels, but will drop the mask as soon as they can

expect your viper to be extremely to the point. they expect the same of you. good luck!

cold and mean and weird about affection BUT. but. after ivar and the old guard died people started adopting animals that were left on the base of the mountains / on the path back for winter

gorthur gvaed is filled with animals that are so so loved and spoiled. it’s atonement for the animals that were killed during training and healing for the vipers that are left

vipers can usually whip up their potions and elixirs while on the road, but much prefer the fully outfitted alchemy labs at gorthur gvaed and *will* complain. loudly.

its not winter unless someone explodes something while experimenting

if an experiment goes particularly wrong it’s not unusual to see a viper face down on the floor. floor time. it’s like a reward

all vipers are fucking nerds. they have an extensive library (added on to after ivar’s death) and many of them learn additional skills (languages, math, other sciences, even music) when out on the path.

most horses don’t like vipers

that tweet that’s like i’m probably nonbinary but i have a job so i can’t worry abt that rn. yeah thats the whole school

[luce-speaks]

wow… rgb from fire emblem echoes… in my class

[vigilskeep]

the negative comments about a character in posts about a character are sooooo fucking annoying especially if it's already a disliked/controversial character whose tag you can't enter without being bombarded with negative takes anyway. like listen i get being a hater i do it all the time but idk do it in private. i personally censor the names so it doesn't show in tag but i'm not asking people to do that but can y'all maybe not comment "yeah i dumped them for [the main fandom guy] lmao" under a character romance gifset. litcherally who asked. all this does is makes me dislike the main fandom guy bc somehow it's always their fans acting like dickheads. and the guy himself is like fine i don't hate him he's pretty neat but he's covered in the fucking Ooze™ bc the people who like him are toddlers who don't know how to behave. not to mention doing all that on a post of an artist [as in person who makes any kind of art and not necessarily drawing] who spent their fucking time and effort on something clearly dear to them and you just go "yeah i think they suck" the only one who sucks is you dear commenter. i swear i try to be a nice person but if this goes on i'll lose my shit and start being such a cunt to those people i'll end up with a bajillion callout posts about how i'm soooo negative and ruin the fandom and get in the way of people having fun. WELL THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN IF Y'ALL WEREN'T GETTING IN EVERYONE ELSE'S WAY OF HAVING FUN. idk what this is and why only fans of characters like g*rrus or ast*rion do it and everyone else has the braincells to have some decency and be a normal human who doesn't comment their very important (no) negative opinion on people's work. MAKE YOUR OWN FUCKING POST TELL A FRIEND HOW MUCH THAT OTHER BLORBO SUCKS COMPARED TO YOURS IDK TOUCH GRASS

you're probably gonna look at this and go "anon what the fuck" and yeah i don't blame you i'm just. very tired. feel free to ignore or respond with that mcdonalds cashier meme idk i just needed to say this

i’m patting you on the head consolingly. yeah

[sol-shines]

Hey I already know about our blorbos but. I’m enabling you. Talk about Audri ❤️

HI BABY !!!

explodes . where does one begin. "talk about audri" to me is like "write a novel" (i know that you know this and i love you btw,,)

WELL. here she is

she's my skrunkly. she had a great life for like a decade or so until an actual god was like actually what's up small child you're my Special Little Guy now :) you're gonna have to be the hero of prophecy and clean up my mess btw . i hope you enjoy being hunted for sport and also being treated like a concept rather than a person !!!! so as you might imagine she turned out to be Well-Adjusted and Normal (lie)

sooooo said god kinda just went "lmao bye" after all that and didn't really give her a bunch of other instructions so she's been sorta fumbling around trying to figure out wtf she's supposed to do to save the Entire Multiverse. at first it was scary and now she just has intense trust issues and is tired of giving a shit !!!!

she met emma when audri was on the run from some folks and surprisingly decided to trust each other at a crucial moment. it took a while for them to warm up and fully trust each other but once they did they were fucking inseparable. they were the first two members of the crew and the rest got built up from there

that's the sparknotes version i am clawing at the walls trying not to overshare BUT she's so much please trust me when i tell you this. she's repressed rage and religious trauma and she's getting truman show'd as we speak :))))) PLEASE love her

(ty again em for letting me rant !!!!! love you mwah <3)

Blorbo Make Many Happiness Blorbo Is Good Person And Good Blorbo

*flops*

You have no idea how much I needed this…..

Thank you.

Rant below btw I’m just- yeah…. You don’t have to read it…. You can just keep scrolling.

Just got off the call with the therapist…… and ick…… I’m not sure if it’s a good fit…. I tend to hate the first session? But this…. Was odd. Another moment of I know I’m Internet scum and that’s all I’ll ever be…… I can’t pretend to be normal…. And I can’t change that….. I fidget. I fiddle. It’s not wrong to flap. It’s not wrong to feel a little sad sometimes. And to be at peace with that. I’ve had sooooo many people leave because of that…. No irl friends at all at the moment for just that reason. Everyone thinks I’m too weird, cause I don’t fit in their glass jar. You can’t “fix” me….. cause this is normal…. That’s just me…… you take it or leave it. And so many have left…. So so many…. She was talking like some of this was “fixable” but I don’t want her to fix that. And the parts I wanted her to fix she brushed aside…… which does kinda happen I guess, nearly every time. They reroute pretty quickly…. But I’m always so scared they won’t…… *sigh* anyway….. enough of my rambling. Sorry about that.

*hugs* thank you for that ask. I needed it so bad.
