I made fanart for "A Hoard of Witchers" Witcher fanfiction

[thedemonofcat]

The Pankratz family is renowned for being Dragon Slayers, having mastered the art of defeating any dragon on their own for generations.

Jaskier, born Julian Alfred Pankratz, is often questioned about his family's history. Even Geralt is curious about how his flamboyant bard could hail from a line of dragon slayers.

What no one, not even Geralt, knows is the family's centuries-old secret: The Pankratz family has been perpetrating one of the greatest scams ever known.

They don't slay dragons. They are dragons.

Prompt 131

Jasker is a dragon, sure. But he prefers his human form. He prefers pretty clothing and lutes over his scales and wings. He hasn't a hoard yet. He thinks. He's never truly cared for gold, though he knows that not all dragons have hoards of gold. That's just the default. What if he did have a hoard, and it just wasn't some boring old gold pieces? At first he thought his hoard must be his many exuberant outfits, but when he got into a scuffle and one outfit was ruined, he was disappointed but that was it. There was no anguish, no mourning, no big depressive meltdown over it's destruction... So probably not a hoard. Just an interest. He then thought it must be his songs. But when he heard a bard in some town playing one of his songs, he didn't erupt into scales and roars. He didn't burn down a city. He didn't even rip out his hair or anything. He wasn't even mad. He thinks you'd be more possessive and jealous over a hoard. He was mostly proud. The bard said it was a song he didn't write, he said it was by Jaskier, and he sang it quite well. But even if he didn't do any of those things, Jaskier would be mad, sure, maybe even mad, but never MAD. He thought of lovers being his hoard, but the thought went away very quickly. None of his lovers stay, and though it stings sometimes, he thinks he'd be flinging himself off a cliff if a treasure of his hoard literally got up and walked away from him. And then one day he meets a Witcher. The witcher looks at him with these piercing golden eyes, and Jaskier feels an audible shift in his soul, his being. He found it. His treasure. Maybe witchers are his hoard, and Geralt is just his first one. Maybe his hoard is just friends he meets. He doesn't know, all he knows is that he can't stop himself from staring at the gold of Geralt's eyes. Perhaps Jaskier does care for gold.

I, for one, am really glad that we as a society are finally starting to understand the importance of bards

Honorable mention:

I remember this, lol ridiculous little man

Ever see a baby alligator get dizzy?

[feykrorovaan]

Bards aren't recruited into the party. We just materialize one day in our found families lives and we don't leave.

Watch me get progressively lazier with the backgrounds on this one 🙈

Read “How to be a Dragon” on Webtoon!

[scrambleddragonegg]

okay so i have been reading a lot of witcher! jaskier fics and also all of the other ones where jaskier is long lived and geralt doesn’t know (this is also operating on the knowledge from s1 and s2 of the netflix series) and i read one ages ago about jaskier knowing vesemir from when he was younger so i bring you dragon! jaskier and emotionally hurt vesemir 🥰

vesemir: *not moving as he sees a familiar face*

jaskier: OLD FRIEND!!!

geralt: *watching in horror as jaskier tackles vesemir and the old wolf just lets it happen*

vesemir: you were gone you bastard

jaskier: i thought YOU were dead! how was i supposed to know geralt’s fighting wasn’t just standard wolf training? eskel and lambert do the same thing!

eskel: he trained us all but back up for a second, how do you know vesemir?

jaskier: i used to travel with him! back when dragons were more common anyway

vesemir: dear melitele julian, let me breathe for a moment?

jaskier: *hanging on even tighter* no 🥰🥰🥰

lambert: what the fuck?

jaskier: have you been lonely the whole time? you know guxart is probably still around if aiden’s still alive, right?

aiden: you know old guxart too?

jaskier: KNOW him??? i know too much about that old cat! vesemir, remember that time-

vesemir: *tries to smother jaskier*

geralt: *grabs jaskier* hey that’s MY bard

vesemir: *snatching jaskier back* and that’s MY dragon

jaskier: so you do still like to cuddle!!!!!

basically after the sacking jaskier thought vesemir was dead so he never came back to kaer morhen and vesemir thought jaskier was dead because he hadn’t seen or heard from another dragon in a few centuries

also just a random thought that originally witchers weren’t supposed to travel alone, whether that be another immortal creature or their fellow witchers, but jaskier found his way into kaer morhen and latched onto vesemir right away and then everything else happened

also at that point the other wolves should know jaskier but in dragon form but that’s a plot hole i don’t want to touch rn i just like the idea of jaskier being older than the others and still this bubbly excitable bard

Today we really get called homophobic /queerphobic for nothing these days.

Because I don't 100% appreciate (without completely hating it, I remind you, I still can't wait to see what Franchaela will give us) the gender change from Michael to Michaela in Bridgerton.

Because I hope we don't change Benedict's romance with Sophie with a man instead, by also changing Sophie's gender for example (although fortunately that shouldn't happen at all).

Because I don't like Rhaenicent (even though this queerbaiting ship doesn't even have a place in the dance of the dragons storyline).

Because I don't like Rhaesaria and I'm firmly against it (it comes out of nowhere and won't go anywhere and what's more it goes against both the character of Rhaenyra who would never cheat on Daemon and that of Mysaria who would never be sincere with Rhaenyra).

Because I don't like the identity and gender problems that the writers attributed to Rhaenyra who in HOTD wants to be a man (seriously, wtf ?), not to mention suddenly inventing her a bisexuality that she actually doesn't have in the original Fire and Blood canon.

The fact of making Jaskier in The Witcher also like men for a plot that serves no purpose ? It doesn't seem to me from what I remember that he also likes men in the books, however I remember that Ciri was on the other hand bisexual ?

So once again, why make a character who isn't queer in the books a character who is queer in the adaptation when you just have to adapt the ones who are queer ?!

Regardless, it kills me to be called homophobic / queerphobic because I disagree with some seriously questionable writing decisions.

Or worse, telling me that I'm homophobic /queerphobic for loving fictional problematic queer relationships... That's still a strong shitty argument.

By human standards, Jaskier was old when he climbed the mountain. In his forties, most would have already settled down and started families. But by dragon standards, Jaskier was still quite young; some might even say he should still be in the nest.

Jaskier didn’t fully align with either perspective. What he didn’t expect was Borch’s sharp instinct to recognize him as a young dragon and treat him accordingly.

Geralt, unaware that his bard is a dragon, found Borch’s unusual interest in Jaskier rather perplexing.

Prompt 50

`An alternate universe where everything is much the same, except Jaskier has D&D-style bardic magic, and is more than capable of joining Geralt on easier contracts, using his magic to boost Geralt's abilities almost as good as some of his potions.

What is "Dragons hurt dragons" about?

I think I’ve been asked this before, but I’ll answer it again, no problem. This time I’ll give more details. “Dragons hurt dragons” is a story taking place in the same Universe as “A Sand Particle Show”.

PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A MASSIVE INFO DUMP

It is about one of the first civilizations of mortals, created by the god of life SamoDobro and led by the god of death GaderyPoluki. The gods are young and haven't figured out how to properly care for their creations. SamoDobro found that experimenting is the most effective (and fun) way to gain knowledge. He came up with the idea of ​​placing mortals on several small planets with different environments and resources.

The main characters of this story belong to the species called kettle dragons, named after the shape of their planet. (It is actually teapot-shaped but shhh). The Kettle is the biggest and the wealthiest planet of all. Its climate is warm, food is easily accessible and the ground is filled with gold. The kettle dragons grew so full of themselves, they believe to be superior not only to other species, but also to their compatriots. Everyone claimed to be a king or a queen and demanded obedience, but in the planet full of arrogant rulers there is no one to give orders to. They split the land into MANY tiny kingdoms.

The three of main characters: Irys, Passiflora and Tulipan; live in one castle, which is divided into 3 parts that they call their own "kingdoms". They hate each other, especially Irys and Tulipan. For fear of passing on their share to their castle-mates (castle-mate?, is that a word?) after death, each adopted an heir, whose names are Jaśmin, Hiacynt and Jaskier. (also main characters)

Irys -> Hiacynt; Passiflora -> Jaśmin; Tulipan -> Jaskier

There is no solid plot in this story, it is mostly about shenanigans of the main characters and how they deal with living in a such nonsensical society.

They follow a some sort of routine; Jaśmin sneaks out of the castle every night and gives her guardian Passiflora a headache; Irys constantly tries to kill Tulipan and forces Hiacynt to help him with that; Jaskier wants to be a soldier and (without the others' consent) transformed the living room into a training ground.

The kettle dragons' routine was interrupted by a mysterious figure. Its appearance alone arouses confusion because it doesn't fit the description of any existing species.

One day, the outsider climbed the tallest tree in the middle of the cemetery, which is a sacred place for all kettle dragons, and began to speak. He claimed to be the Prophet and the future son of the third god who would soon be born. No one believed him, he was quickly thrown out of the cemetery.

But he never left. Many dragons claim that the Prophet follows them or whispers in their ears while they sleep. Soon, kings and queens begin to disappear without a trace.

The gods don't do anything about it, as they said: "It's finally getting interesting" 👍

Other characters here are: Ocel the furnace dragon, Len the true dragon king, Maciejek, also SemiSue and LostMedia.
