Jaskier is canonically bisexual and I have no fucking time to write new fics. Great.

[wordsbyarwen]

AT LAST, the little florist au that could is complete! Link posts appear to be utterly broken for me so here we are with a new format.

An enormous thank you to all the beautiful people who have been with me through this fic, including my betas and readers. Your commentary and support has made the writing easier in times when writing was tough, and have given me great joy at all steps.

They pass through the remaining glasshouses briefly before heading off to see the rest of the growing tunnels. In the second tunnel, Tissaia bends down to retrieve the pail and secateurs Rita had promised to leave for Yennefer's benefit. It’s not the ideal time of day to be cutting flowers, of course—the morning would be better, or even a little later on in the evening—but there’s a fair bit of water in the bottom of the narrow, galvanised metal bucket, the secateurs are sharp, and the heat of the day has passed them by.

And anyway, how can they not give Yennefer this opportunity?

"Wait—anything I like?" Yennefer confirms dubiously as she takes the shears from Tissaia's hands.

"That's right," Tissaia replies, and watches with pleasure as Yennefer's expression shifts to one of unmasked delight.

Information below is for the full fic -

Anyone who knows me knows how hard I ride for LGBTQ representation, and since today is Bi Visibility Day, why not share some of my favorite bisexual characters?

This is a long ass list, so I'll keep the commentary short. I'll also try to keep it to the main characters, but there will inevitably be a few sides.

Rosa Diaz - Oh, the ways I love Rosa, she's mean, and yet she's kind. She moved because one person knew her address, and I want to live that life. Now, she is a cop, but she does leave the force in B99's attempt to continue the show after 2020.

Patrick Zweig, Art Donaldson, and Tashi Duncan—only one of these isn't confirmed, but it's true in my heart. They're all toxic and a mess, and essentially in a throuple.

Calliope Torres - Later in life realization. Still has sex with men over the series. She's special because she's also annoying.

Carina Deluca, Amelia Sheperd, Maya Bishop - all from the Shondaland ABC universe.

Annalise Keating - Not nearly as celebrated as she should be. Wonder why?

Alice Whitley - she's black, biromantic, and asexual. Get into it.

Bob Belcher - he's "mostly straight," and he's animated, so that's fun.

David Rose - technically, I think he uses pansexual? He likes the wine and not the label.

Random shoutout to Jake from Schitt's Creek as well cause he's bisexual and has the audacity.

Harley Quinn - if you have yet to see her animated series where she gets with Poison Ivy, what are you even doing? That leads me to...

Poison Ivy - She's also mean, cares about the environment, and that's hot.

Jon Kent - bet you didn't know Superman's son was bisexual.

Lindsay - I'm just going to assume that you haven't seen Queer as Folk, and like..you should fix that.

Chuck Bass - I know, I know. He sucks, but that's what representation is all about.

Chuck/God—This is literally from a one-off line in S11, but isn't it cool that God is bisexual?

Leopoldo, Cruz, and Ivan - Elite is honestly kind of a terrible show, but it is fun.

Max - so basically if you haven't seen Black Sails...what are you even doing with your life?

Sarah - Orphan Black is another show that must be seen.

Jaskier - Idk if this is one that people would mind getting into. The Witcher is a very confusing show, but, like, I love it. & Yennefer of Vendenberg is not bisexual, but she is a hot witch, so that's worth it.

Now, I can get into the characters that are extra special to me.

Marie and Jordan from Gen V - okay, these two are particularly special because Jordan has powers that allow them to switch between male and female presenting, and where else do we see the literal physical embodiment of a non-binary person? Also, there's a little slice of commentary about how they switch to their male form whenever they want to make a point, and they are nervous because they don't think Marie likes them in their female form, and that's rectified by the end. & Marie is, of course, besotted by them no matter their form, and she's got cool, blood-bending powers, and she's hot.

Ashley Davies - you will not find her on any of those listicles that publications make of the top bisexual characters, but you must know who she is because she is the character that started it all for me. On a little show called South of Nowhere about her and Spencer (a newly out lesbian) having a whirlwind high school romance. She's edgy and emotionally unavailable, she's kind of mean, but most of the time, she doesn't mean it, and she means a lot to me, so if you don't like her, keep that shit to yourself.

Kat Edison - my main bitch, my main squeeze, and the love of my life. She's a bisexual disaster, but that's okay because I love her. Heavily identify with her, and I hold her close to my heart.

Evan Buckley— I don't make a habit of relating to male characters; that's not my ministry, but Buck is a very special case. I didn't even click with him until 3x16, and then boom. I was rocked to my core by how much I relate to him, and now he's Bi! I don't have enough words yet to explain what that feels like but shout out to him.

OKAY LISTEN UP

Jaskier was written to be promiscuous way back when he was written to be completely heterosexual. And regardless of all the acting Choices and hints and whatnot in seasons 1 & 2, he was textually written to be heterosexual. And in the books and game...heterosexual.

SO

When, in season 3, they finally decided to make him canonically queer, he was necessarily going to be a "promiscuous bisexual" because he was already promiscuous. Like, can't suddenly do away with the promiscuity part of his character just because it falls into a trope now that he's bi.

AND

I think it's actually a bit of a testament to the writing that the way they went about making Jaskier bisexual is to just sorta retcon the whole thing. Like, make it so he's always been queer...he just didn't say it out loud in any of the scenes we (the audience) saw.

BECAUSE

Imagine the actual disaster it would have been if they'd had Jaskier, like, have a whole 'first queer experience' thing with Radovid. The whole existential crisis of "oh my god I am attracted to a man" thing would've been so boring. Like, I, for one, would've hated that.

[spinningalbinoturtle]

I just hope that Laurence Fishburne plays Regis as he is intended to be- a six hundred year old drama queen-who is very thinly veiled gay. They got Jaskier’s bi disaster down with Joey Batey but Morpheus better be ready for queer icon of the Continent #2.

[followtheravens]

A question for bisexual folks who watch the witcher!

I have seen people on the internet say that they think having a bisexual Jaskier is a bad thing. The biggest reasons I have seen have been these:

It's a harmful stereotype to have a slutty character be bisexual

It's a harmful stereotype to have a flamboyant and not so stereotypically masculine character be queer

So what do all the bi folks here think about this? I honestly love that Jaskier is a bi disaster character and I don't see his sluttiness as a problem. But I want to hear what other people think because this has been on my mind a lot lately.

Please feel free to elaborate on the tags! I really want to hear people's thoughts on this!

#WifeMeUp 3

I wish I could draw worth a shit bc I wanna draw grungy Geralt so bad but alas, I cannot draw hands or consistent faces... 

Warnings: none! other than swearing but like its me... yall should know by now 😘

ITS TIME FOR THE DATE

__________

Geralt showed up to Jaskier's apartment in a dark, emerald green Henley and a black denim jacket with… was that a Blue Oyster Cult patch? Jaskier had to bite his cheek to keep from all-out swooning. 

He locked the door behind him as he joined Geralt in the hallway, "I suddenly feel a bit underdressed." 

Geralt cocked his head to the side, flashing a smile that could kill a weaker man, "You look great. Don't know what you're talking about." 

Oh my gods, he's a puppy. 

Jaskier's cheeks heated up as he shoved his hands in the pockets of his mom jeans (dad jeans?), "Th-thank you." 

“Anytime.” He stepped to the side and offered his arm like a regency romance character and Jaskier looped his arm around his elbow, leaning a little closer than he usually would but Geralt just smelled so good. 

“So where are we going? Or is it a surprise?” he asked as they slid into Geralt’s truck. It was old but well cared for, the type where you could flip the console up and have one long bench as the front seat. Jaskier made a note about that for later depending on how the night went. 

“Well my sister told me to be mysterious, so I’ll keep it a surprise.” Geralt revved the engine and they headed toward the freeway. 

Their conversation was easy, all the ‘where’s your family from’ type questions were out of the way by the time they got to the restaurant. And oh, Jask thought he might be in heaven. At first glance, Hunter’s Pizza was nothing special but its back porch was hanging over the river, and even from the parking lot, Jask could see a huge pizza oven in the center of the restaurant. They were seated outside next to a heater, far away from the 13-top of housewives having a birthday party, thank gods. 

Once they’d ordered, Geralt leaned back with his fingers laced behind his head, somehow making his shining white hair even messier, “So what was on that note? Or am I allowed to know?”

Jaskier pinched his thigh under the table to distract himself from those arms and fucking answer, “Oh just, Essie. She likes to meddle.” Geralt raised an eyebrow but Jaskier leaned forward, resting his chin on his hand and hoping his shirt fell open like he wanted it to, “How were the ponies this morning?”

Geralt mimicked him, leaning forward on both his elbows like he was going to tell Jaskier the secret to life, “Ponies are the devil incarnate, but the horses were fine.”

“But they’re so small and cute! How can ponies be evil?” Jaskier didn’t really care at all about ponies, but that goofy smile Geralt had going on was heavenly.

He spent the next ten minutes listening in complete rapture to why ponies were horrible little monsters and he could listen to hours more. Geralt really did look like a puppy, especially when he was excited about something. He also blew his hair out of his face a minimum of three times before he would run his hands through it, something Jaskier was very much looking forward to at this point. The best part was the hand talking, all sorts of waving and miming and... 

Oh shit, I’m staring. 

Jaskier pulled himself back to reality as Geralt ended his rant, “...never met a pony I or any horse liked.”

“You trust your horses with that? To make character judgments?”

Geralt smiled and nodded, “You should come by sometime.”

“That’s a test isn’t it?” Jaskier didn’t manage to put as much of a joking lilt into the words as he’d wanted to and thought about jumping into the river. 

But Geralt just winked at him as their server set down their pizza and plates, “I’m confident you’d pass.” 

Sonofabitch.

-

Geralt flipped the console up on their way home and Jaskier’s heart skipped a beat as he slid across the bench, leaning into Geralt’s side with one of those giant arms draped over his shoulders. He flipped through a box of CDs, teasing Geralt about getting with the times before popping in Weezer and leaning his head against Geralt’s shoulder. 

It was well past the time he should sleep for an opening shift the next morning when they got back to his apartment but Jaskier found himself wishing he had the balls to invite Geralt in. They walked arm in arm back to his door, climbing the stairs slowly, neither of them really wanting to go home. 

When they got to his door Jaskier turned to face Geralt, planning on saying ‘thanks for the bite’ or something else noncommittal but Geralt was looking at him like he was a summer sunset and the words died on his tongue. 

Geralt’s hand trailed down his harm to his hand, hooking their pinkies together, “I had a great time tonight.”

Jaskier bit his lip and hooked their other hands together in the same way, “Me too,” he batted his eyelashes and internally swore at his body for blushing. 

“Hmmm…” Geralt inched forward, the sound coming out almost predatory and sending a thrill down Jaskier’s spine. 

“If I didn’t know better Mr. Bellegarde,” Jaskier breathed, tugging at Geralt’s pinkies to get him even a fraction of an inch closer, “I’d say you wanted to kiss me.”

Geralt’s voice came out just above a whisper, all gravely and sexy as hell, “And if I did?”

Fuck me. This boy is going to kill me.

“I’d encourage it.”

The kiss was everything JAskier had wanted and more. Soft but firm, warm and electric. Geralt dropped Jaskier’s hands and held him flush to his body by the hips, making Jaskier’s head spin. 

When they eventually parted Jaskier felt like he was floating. 

He didn’t even realize Geralt was ten steps down the hall when he called back to him, “See you in class?”

“Mhmm!” the squeak was embarrassing but it wasn’t entirely fair of Geralt to expect him to be coherent after a first kiss like that.

Should anyone be interested, I have written some Witcher fic (poly/open relationship/FWB Geraskier, show!Jaskier blending with a more game!flavored... everything else). Yes, the hyperfixation is truly here to stay. help me

Benefits [AO3] Geralt/Jaskier | E |  3,319 words They have a friends-with-benefits thing going while they travel, but Geralt surprises Jaskier with his preferences, and Jaskier is up to the challenge of making it good. (i.e. Geralt is a subby bottom and you will pry this fact out of my cold dead hands)

Friends [AO3] Geralt/Jaskier | E | 6,692 words The benefits are great, but it’s the friends part of the phrase that ends up mattering the most.

Winter [AO3] Geralt/Jaskier & very faint background Geralt/Eskel | M | 14,758 words Jaskier winters in Kaer Morhen and meets Lambert, Eskel, & Vesemir. Unconventional family feels-fest with Jaskier Meeting The Fam. Fluff, bittersweet, then more fluff.

It will definitely route 1. I enjoy the Witcher but looking at their disaster „ciri has a crush on triss“ scene and how poorly they treated jaskier in season 2 , I am sure he will not have enough screentime for a beautiful coming out storyline. They will act as if it was clear all along that he is bi (well it was for me). This also fits with „hot girl summer“, imo that means he will sleep with everyone and everything that crosses his way

I'm actually really interested in how they'll handle the ""reveal"" of Jaskier being bisexual

I don't mean that as in, I expect a show-stopping and emotional coming-out scene but, just the act of establishing his queerness

I feel like there are vaguely 2 different ways of doing it, and even then there are a bunch of small things they can make different but

Route 1.) Jask will be conveniently bisexual the whole time. they'll act like his being into both men and women was already an established thing, despite the fact that it really was not a reality until very recently (recently, as in recently in the real world)

I have a few mixed emotions abt this route, but ultimately I wouldn't hate it if they went with this (low key it fits with the writing by the seat of our pants vibe the show already has, sorry Lauren)

Route 2.) Jask discovers his bisexuality throughout the season, most likely by developing a male crush and doing some soul-searching.

lovely! heartwarming! And keeping up with the established cannon. Yes, Jasskier is very smooth with the ladies but now he can be smooth with the men as well. I also think it would be very cool to see an older character (jaskier is like 40 right?) discover these new things abt himself, it's never too late for more self-discoveries. go get that dick bestie

I also wonder if they go with "Route 2" if it'll be a slow burn deal with longing looks, confused feelings, and lots of hypothetical internal discussion

or if Radovid will take one look at this fuzzy, emotionally tormented poet going through a midlife crisis and be like "so...wanna kiss? kiss maybe? kiss with tongue?? wanna fuck on this dining table, bard?"

and jaskier just 0-0 "yeah."

omg secret third route, Route 1.5.) Valdo Marx will very publicly and very dramatically reveal his and Jaskiers old lustful gay relationship from their college years while publically shaming Jask for being a bad bf like,

"really panckratz,,, you call yourself a tender and generous lover??? well you never acted that way... WITH ME"
