WHERE is that post about Geralt of Rivia being an exterminator

i hate whenever theres a paladin/knight/generally gruff protector-type character in an alternate or historical time period, and when theyre adapted to the modern day or theres a popular modern AU headcanon theyre ALWAYS a cop. you fools. you fucking fools. a good aligned paladin wouldnt be a cop they would be a drug sponsor. a domestic cleaner. a child support worker. a sanitation worker. its not about cutting people in half with a zweihander its about serving the goddamn community

#wrote a modern dragon age au awhile ago where the paladin last stand against evil type characters (the wardens) were all firefighters #or at least that was the plan i didnt erally get into the details #but one of them was a nurse who had worked as a paramedic bc in canon hes a healer #and the others were firefighters #it got across that vibe of needing to be constantly vigilant #having a strong sense of comradery bc you're living shoulder to shoulder with these folks #not being able to do normal people things like start a family because you have a demanding job with an insane schedule #that tricky balance of being respected by most common people but not really being someone they want to think about NEEDING #worked much much better than making them cops esp since it meant that i could make the actual canon cop characters.... cops #aveline and donnic are guardsmen theyre literally cops so in my fic she was a police captain and he was a detective #cassandra is basically a church cop so i made her the equivalent of fbi #but beth and surana and alistair were firefighters
