#Radovid V The Stern

[veralevina15]

Collab with @wildelighten (the 1st half-frame by me, the 2nd half-frame by wildelighten)! For the first time, the netflix!Radovid experienced a magical political maneuver of such a scale! Translation: - First time? - Huh? Original meme:

I've read several Witcher fics in Polish where Radovid's name was shortened to 'Radko' as a way of showing endearment and I think it's adorable. I also really like the Russian version, 'Radya'

[definitely-not-iorveth]

a title for a fic? let's see...

How about...

"of fire and bones"

ahhhh love that title 💚 very juicy

setting: game canon

summary: various characters reflecting on the burnings of mages and non-humans in redania.

triss: her conflicting feelings of relief because of getting the mages out of novigrad and guilt because of the shift to persecuting the non humans instead.

geralt: pondering the senselessness of human cruelty and how remaining neutral in these kinds of situations is impossible because inaction enables the oppressor, effectively putting you on their side, with a conclusion that there is still a glimmer of hope because there are still people willing to help the persecuted even at the risk of their own wellbeing.

dandelion: thinking about how those are dark times, and the victims should be mourned, and it's understandable that the overall atmosphere is dreary and gloomy, so it's no wonder that people keep asking why and how he's able to keep up a cheerful atmosphere and demeanor. how his answer always remains the same: that times like these especially call for some joy and appreciation for the happy and carefree moments in life—because melitele knows the people need it now more than ever.

dijkstra: he's not happy with radovid giving the witch hunters so much power, with them persecuting and burning people whose only crime is that they are different. but he is happy with the opportunities that it presents him with. how it showcases how cruel of a ruler radovid makes, how much easier it will be to sweep in in the aftermath of the devastation he wrought.

radovid: he started something he perhaps shouldn't have because of a grudge against a mage that he never got over. it's not that he cares so much for those he is hurting, but ruling with an iron fist can be a double edged sword if he pushes his people to a breaking point. but this is exactly why he can't stop now. if he wavers, if he shows weakness, his rivals will see this as an opportunity to strike. if the people stop fearing him, they will raise against him. and this also means that he needs to stay in the witch hunters' good graces, because they are a valuable asset, a defense against any potential retribution... and so the spiral continues. he can't stop now.

this was fun!!! i quite enjoyed trying to get into these characters heads and considering what their thought processes could be! thank you for the ask! ^^

send me a made-up fic title and i'll tell you what i would write to go with it

Well, at least they weren't like two pale coconuts colliding

I've wanted to make this for such a long time :') I've always been intrigued by how the books and even the games portray Radovid and Phillipa's relationship. The background and origin behind Radovid's hatred and trauma for Phillipa may just be a short paragraph in the books, but it was impactful enough when paired together with our knowledge of how ruthless and manipulative Philippa can be in politics, to see how that could have fucked up young Radovid's life.

Thank you to @windflowerofskellige for the Radovid Reworked mod for Radovid! I hate that he looks old and bald in the games. xD Thank you to @bathsebah for Philippa's face variants mod, I love every single variant so much.

Mod used for Philippa's dress here.

It never even occured to me I'll have to filter a ship containing Jaskier and Radovid. That they'll have a ship name I'll have to type with my own two thumbs. That they'll be shipped by larger number of people in completely serious non-crackish way, but here we are, I guess...

HELLO BOYS AND GIRLS I RAN OUT OF ART TO POST HOWEVER I did a thing with @fawnnbinary where I sent him lineart and he sent ME lineart and we coloured each others lineart. Here they are side by side! Obviously, it is my son. Because you couldn't pay me enough to shut up about him. I had a lot of fun with this !

Who is more fashionable - Radovid or Roche?

Now it's Candidates 3 and 4...

As much as I don't like the guy, I have to give this to the King of Redania, Radovid V. The king can certainly afford the finest garments to drape himself with and, like I mentioned previously with the Emhyr post, it is expected of every head of state. Also Radovid wore a chainmail under his royal vestments. That is chic!

For Roche, every outfit is a uniform. Colors he wore serves as his badge of loyalty to a king or country. No fashion, purely function. Though Roche is the only character in the game that rocks the chaperone!
