I think that of the four Misselina is the most different. I don't know why they changed so much her design, her old sprite was already well rendered.

Fanfiction and Art Submission Guideline

There are several elements the authors must include in their fic/art submissions for @rc-catalog to include the work in the masterlist and to help the readers navigate the list. Those submissions which are missing the information will not be reblogged until they are corrected (the creator will be contacted).

Fanfiction/Art MUST INCLUDE:

Title [REQUIRED]

Characters and/or pairing [REQUIRED]

Trigger warnings [REQUIRED]

Trigger warnings are subjective, but if you think that certain topics may cause discomfort to your readers, please state them in warnings before the fic. If you are not sure whether you should use a warning, you can always contact the mods, we will try to help!

Examples of topics which should be included in trigger warnings: death, violence, sexual harassment/abuse, drug/alcohol use, racism*, sexism*, -phobia*, -erasure, suicide, mental health issues, etc.

With all of these you may state: mentioned, implied, attempted etc., for instance "racism mentioned" to make it more clear what the reader should expect.

*PLEASE NOTE: these triggers are only applicable for themes addressed in the fics. If the mods find out that the author endorses in their fic/engages in any kind of harassment, the reblog will be taken down and the author contacted/blocked.

Rating [REQUIRED]

The preferred rating system:

General [G]: Content suitable for all ages. It should be free of coarse language, violence, adult themes (even if only implied). Teen [T]: Content suitable for teens and older. It may contain moderate violence, swearing, suggestive material and adult themes such as drug/alcohol ab/use. Mature [M]: Suitable for ages 18+ and older; may contain non-explicit adult themes, violence, strong language, drug use. Trigger warnings required. Explicit [E]: Suitable for ages 18+ and older; may contain explicit adult themes, violence, excessive drug/alcohol ab/use, strong language. Trigger warnings required.

A "Read More" page break [REQUIRED]

Please include a page break in longer posts (which is most fanfics). If you need help with adding a page break, you can follow our page break instruction post.

It is crucial that the author tags @rc-catalog to minimise the risk of the mods missing the fanwork! If your submission doesn't appear on the blog within 2 days, please contact the mods (@secret-fungi, @mikaelsrose, @adilqalbi) DMs/send an ask.

Ideally, your submission should look like this:

Title: ... Pairing: F!MC (Vicky) x Lucifer; [optionally: Mimi & Astaroth, Christopher, Sammy, Geralt] Trigger warnings: mild violence, blood mention, character death Rating: T Tag list: @rc-catalog ... :page break:

You are free to add other categories you consider important, such as word count, category, etc., but these are the requirements the submitted fic has to meet.

Dump of HS Incorrect Quotes

I was sifting though my slow ass Chromebook and found my little collection of incorrect quotes. I collect them for comic ideas, but never used them. So thought why not make them into HS incorrect quotes. There's a lot of them.

Heaven's Secret 1

Mimi: I’m begging you, just be cool.

Vicky: Hey, who’s cooler than me?

Adi: Everyone.

Lucifer: I gave Dino a get well soon card.

Vicky: That’s… Surprisingly nice of you.

Lucifer: He’s not sick, I just think he should do better.

Mimi: Your future self is probably talking shit about you right now.

Adi: Jokes on him. I’ll ruin his fucking life.

Lucifer: There’s something seriously wrong with you.

Dino: ...Coming from you, that's actually a little worrying.

Vicky: Do you have a date for Valentine’s Day?

Bont: Yeah, it’s February 14th! :)

Vicky: I— never mind.

Dino: *Holding the door open for Vicky* After you!

Vicky: Oh no, after you!

Dino: I insist, after you!

Lucifer: *Pushing past both of them* After me, peasants.

Vicky: I’m ten times funnier and sexier than you.

Austie: Ten times zero is still zero though.

Vicky: Jokes on you, I can’t do math.

Vicky: What if Cinderella was a baking slave instead of a cleaning slave, and her name was Mozzarella?

Lucifer: Don't ever speak to me again.

Mimi: *Crying in the hallway*

Vicky: Hey hey, it’s okay, don’t cry. What happ- oh wow, where did you get that eyeliner? It isn’t smudging at all.

Mimi: *Sniffling* It’s sharpie.

Vicky: *Talking about Lucifer* So, uh- what’s wrong with him?

Adi: Everyone has a different theory.

Dino: I just realized something. I had a bad childhood.

Lucifer: Yeah, I know.

Dino: What do you mean you know?

Lucifer: Look at you.

Lucifer: *After getting in trouble* I can’t help it, I love disasters.

Geralt: Of course. Self-love is a healthy thing.

Sammy: I’m sure wherever Lucifer is, he’s looking down on us.

Vicky: Lucifer died?!

Sammy: Oh, no. He’s not dead. Just very condescending.

Vicky: Hey, I'm getting in the shower. Wanna help me out?

Bont: ...Have you never taken a shower before?

Vicky: Never mind…

Vicky: If someone attractive disagrees with me I will immediately change my views. I have no principles.

Malbonte: You really should have some principles.

Vicky: You’re right, I should.

Adi: I didn’t want to do this, but I know one way we can get the money.

Mimi: You’d make a decent prostitute.

Adi: I’d make an amazing prostitute, but no.

Misselina: What have you been up to?

Vicky: Swimming.

Misselina: Oh, that’s lovely. Glad you’re getting-

Vicky: In a pool of shame and embarrassment.

Misselina: Oh…

Vicky: What if we kissed?

Malbonte: What if I stabbed you?

Vicky: Even better!

Vicky: Okay, so I’ve got good news and bad news.

Rebecca: What’s the good news?

Vicky: I won’t do it again.

Austie: Well, aren’t you sugar and spice and everything nice?

Vicky: Well, aren’t you rudeness and sarcasm and everything… uh…

Austie: No, go on. You find something that rhymes with sarcasm and makes sense and I’ll stop acting like an asshole.

Vicky: I’m not an idiot. I don’t take risks and I think about my every action. 

Austie: Hey, I bet you can’t fall down the stairs faster than me.

Vicky: Fucking wATCH ME-

Vicky: Revenge is a waste of time.

Malbonte: So is watching TV and eating candy, but you do it because it feels good.

Vicky: In your opinion, what is the height of stupidity?

Mimi: *Turning to Adi* How tall are you?

Seraph Crowley: I’m… I'm at a loss for words!

Lucifer: *Narrating* Despite being at a loss for words, Crowley yelled at me for the next 45 minutes.

Lucifer: What happens when you die?

Satan: I’ll go to the realm of non-existence.

Lucifer: No, I mean when you die, do I get all your stuff?

Lucifer: I was arrested for being too cool.

Austie: The charge were dropped due to a lack of supporting evidence.

Mimi: I left Vicky and Adi alone for two hours and they dumped three bags of sugar into the dryer to try and make cotton candy.

Lucifer: Did it work?

Adi: Rules were made to be broken.

Sammy: They were made to be followed. Nothing is made to be broken.

Mimi: Glow sticks.

Vicky: Karate boards.

Adi: Rules.

Sammy: …

Geralt: Did you four really think you were going to get away with this?

Vicky: …

Vicky: What didn’t he do?

Mimi: Fly fast enough.

Rebecca: Promise me you’ll win this thing today.

Rebecca: That’s not what I asked you to promise me.

Lucifer: *Trips and falls*

Vicky: Are you oka-

Lucifer: You’d better make a wish because you just saw a falling star.

Vicky: To be or not to be-

Lucifer: Don't pretend you read Shakespeare just to try and bond with me.

Vicky: …

Lucifer: You can't fool me. You're illiterate.

Lucifer: Just buy me strawberries like a normal person.

Sammy: What do we say when people get to know us?

Adi: Welcome to the shit show.

Sammy: NO-

Haven's Secret 2

Malbonte: *Watching at the horsemen destroy the world*

Malbonte: Okay, so I know that this is MY fault entirely, but this is OUR problem now.

Misselina: Rise and shine, everyone! Good morning, rise and shine!

Geralt: I’ll rise…but I refuse to shine.

Astaroth: Oh my god, it’s Vicky! I’m in love with her!

Christopher: Oh that’s so sweet! How long have you guys been going out?

Astaroth: No we’re not going out. I’ve never even talked to her.

Vicky: *Smiling and waving excitedly at Malbonte*

Malbonte: What an absolute fucking idiot.

Malbonte: I can’t believe I’d die for her.

Rebecca: *Eating* This is really good, who made this?

Vicky: Oh, I did.

Rebecca: *Spitting food out* This is fucking disgusting!

Vicky: I thought happiness started with H but mine starts with U.

Malbonte: Are you sure you’re not dyslexic?

War: *Standing outside holding a sign that says “Marry me?”*

Adi: *Looks out window*

Adi: Oh, Shepha! YES!

War: No! Tell Vicky!

Adi: VICKY I'M MARRYING YOUR BOYFRIEND!

Malbonte: There’s a tree out there growing wood for your coffin.

Vicky: Bold of you to assume my body will be found.

Astaroth: Tell me a joke.

Adi: You look great today!

Astaroth: Thanks!

Astaroth: …

Astaroth: Wait a damn minute-

Vicky: Awww, look at you, finally trying to be romantic with all these candles.

Malbonte: First of all—

Malbonte: I’m about to sacrifice you.

Vicky: I love you guys. You're the best thing that ever happened to me.

Mimi: We're the best thing that's ever happened to you?

Vicky: Yes.

Adi: Now I'm starting to feel a little sorry for you.

Sammy: Adi!

Vicky: *Accidentally doing something really well*

Vicky: Ah, shit. I’ve given them higher standards now.

War: My head hurts.

Plague: that's your brain trying to comprehend its own stupidity.

Rebecca: I hope you get run over.

Malbonte: Hoping is all well and good but ultimately it gets you nowhere. Get in the damn car and run me over yourself. Be the change you want to see in the world.

Malbonte: [Enters the room]

Rebecca: Do you ever get pre-annoyed? Like you already know someone is going to piss you off before they even start talking?

Malbonte: How do I make a date really romantic?

Shephamalum: Be mysterious.

Malbonte: Okay.

*While on a date with Vicky*

Vicky: Where are we going?

Malbonte: It's none of your business.

Plague: Hunger hasn’t stopped staring through the window since the storm started.

Plague: The French have given us many good things.

Plague: *Sighing* I guess I should let him in.

War: French toast.

Plague: The guillotine.

Mimi: My wife looks so good right now.

Adi: You haven’t seen Vicky in a couple of days.

Mimi: Yeah, but I just KNOW.

[ultimatebottom69]

Dino nooo. Also yeah. Mimi is queen

New life part 4 - the harbinger of doom is the seagull

(Heaven's Secret x MC brother reader)

words: 2055

Y/N POV

Vicky got Mimi's room and I showed her around the school, the next few days went pretty much without a problem, Lucifer and I started to respect each other, but I wouldn't call it friendship When Misselina and I were going over history I noticed my curious sister asking questions, but I didn't pay much attention. One day she took a "test" like I did. Mimi couldn't tell her anything, Adi and the others started encouraging her and eventually she jumped. We all watched to see if she would spread her wings. She was too late and probably set a new record for this "tradition". Everyone started chanting, whistling and clapping.

Y/N:" that's my sister, bitches" I yelled with pride in my voice

Y/N:" Geralt's lesson is about to start, we have to go"

we came to the garden and Geralt was waiting for us

Geralt:"Today, we will focus on energy exchange. It will allow you to identify the person in front of you, even if their true identity is concealed

Andy:“ Can we hide our true indentity?“ He asked with a surprised look on his face

Geralt:“Of course.You can pretend to be human, alter the look of your wings…. For a time, at last.“

Geralt then walked closer to Vicky and looked into her eyes

„Our eyes can be deceived. Our feeling cannot.“ As soon as he finished, he touched her stomach

„this is energy. Like fingerprints, everyone has a unique energy signature“

Geralt stepped away, marched across the row to students and, returning to his place, stood stil again.

Energy alone can indentify a demon’s or angel’s ranks. Who can named hem?“

then Austie held up a finger, I knew about her, typical demon

Gralt:" Austie"

Austie:“Demon’s and angel’s hierarchies are the same. As student, we’re at teh bottom of this chain“

Great, so if I get expelled from school, I'll be some kind of worm for everyone to boss around.

She briefly glanced at me, Vicky and Andy.

„Disregarding the unclaimed, of course, who don’t even reach that level“

Y/N:“ "I'll show you what we're capable of." I said in a firm voice, looking at her with a fixed gaze." She was surprised at what I did and Luficer just smiled

Austie:“ Folloving the angels and demons are the archangels and archdemons. Next are principalities, dominions, virtues, powers, thrones… Eatch higher rank rules over those below. Together they rule over heaven and hell, keeping the world in check. At top of the chain are the cherubinm and the seraphim. Only Shepfa is above them all.“

Geralt:“ that’s correct, Austie“

After she mentioned the seraphim, Vicky looked like she was lost in thought.

Geralt:“Most likely, you’ll never meet anyone ranking higher that the archangels and archdemons. Unsless your father is Satan“

After that some people started laughing and Lucifer put on this sly smile

Geralt:“ Judging by energy alone, you shoud be capable of determining how powerful is the demo n or angel standing before you. This is important and it may save your life“

Vicky:“ Would the attack us?“

Geralt:“How do they say it back on earth? „hope for the best, prepare for the worst“. You shoud learn to fight, even if you end up never needing to. Now I want you to feel eatch other’s energy. Split into groups of two and stand face to face. Touch the one in front of you. Embrace if you must“

Adi:“ can we kiss?“

Geralt:“ So it be. You may kiss Sammy“ I laughed after that one, too.

but Adi took it literally and they actually kissed

Y/N:" they're together, aren’t we?"

Mimi:" yeah"

Geralt:“ Enough with your sideshow. Study one another’s energy for few minutes then switch partners“

Austie was standing across from me, luckily I'm taller than her.

Austie:" Show me what you can do."

Y/N:" whatever you think," I said and with one hand I pressed her head against mine and the other hand on her stomach she did the same, after a while I felt the energy, it tasted like roses. It appeared to me as dark red light.

Austie:" your taste like iron, grey light, I like it" After that we switched partners and Mimi was across from me, my heart skipped a beat, we took each other's hand, and let the energy flow.

Mimi’s tasted like sour raspberry. It appeared to me as red light.

Y/N:" your energy tastes good"

Mimi:" your energy is iron, very interesting energy"

We looked into each other's eyes for a moment when Geralt shouted "Nemesis, let her go"

I turned around and saw this weird statue holding Vicky and mumbling something. Such a nice moment, and the stupid statue fucked it up.

Dino finally pulled Vicky away from the statue. After the situation calmed down, Geralt split us into groups me, Vicky, Mimi, Adi, Sammy and Andy and we had time to check out the others' energies for an hour.

Mimi:“ I suggest we go to our hideout“

Vicky:“ Your hideout“

Mimi:“ to crying virgins“

it was in a place where we'd have to fly, and Vicky seemed like she could handle it. Luckily Vicky made it but lost her balance on landing and fell on her face. Then Adi and the others explained the history of this place after that we had to climb a lot of stairs after that, but it was no big deal. 

Adi:“ Let’s play wagat“

Vicky:“ What’s wagat“

Mimi:“ It’s game of the fallen who’ve had too mutch Glif to grink.“

Sammy:“ It can by played sober as well.“

Vicky:“ tell me rules.“

Adi:“ My dear Vicky, are you aware that the only things that no one can conceal – not even Shepfa- are their eyes? Eyes are the window to the soul. But I’m sure you knew that“

Sammy:“ According to the rules of the game, you have to read other player’s past by looking into theirs eyes. If you uncover something meaningful, the others player fulfills your wish“

Mimi:“ if not, you fulfill his“

Andy:“Doesn’t sound that bad to me“

Adi clapped his hands together „ Wonderful. I’ll start“

He walked over to Vicky, took her cheeks in his hands so she couldn't turn her head and looked long into her eyes.

Adi:“ Weeelll…. I see…..Misselina. She told you something important---- something stunned you.“

Vicky:“ that’s right. She told me my mom is a sereph“  This was too much even for me

Y/N:“ we're a really weird family" Everyone looked at me.

Andy:" you didn't know?"

Y/N:" does my reaction look like I knew?!"

Adi:“ Did you feel her energy? How exited she got?“ Said with big smile on his face

Sammy:“ you owe him a wish“

Vicky:“ Fine, What’s your wish?“

Adi:“ I’m kind demon. I love passion. Kiss one of us. Whomever you want“

Vicky:“ Even you or Sammy“?

Adi he just grinned and said "why not?"

Vicky took Andy's head and kissed him.

After a while they stopped and Andy had a look of confusion on his face

Sammy:“ that was…“

Adi:" Hot. We’ve seen enough shades of your energy, time to move on.“

For the next hour into eatch other’s eyes to try and unclover everyone’s most vulnerable moments.

We heard many thing:

Mimi:“ Wait, Adi, why are you bi?“

Adi:“Can’t you tell?“ said with smile

Sammy:“ Mimi, you’re love with Lucifer?“

She flared up, the went silent. After a few moment, she answered.

Mimi:“No!“

Sammy:“ Then why do  you always stare at him? His imagine is engraved in your eyes.“

Adi started to cough and elbowed Sammy.

Mimi:“ Shut up. That’s not true! I’m nobody compared to Lucifer. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t be allowed to by rank…

Y/N:“ and you like someone else?" everyone turned to me and Mimi replied

"Yes, but I'll never tell his name."

Adi:“Sammy, you’ve lost“

Sammy:“ What? It’s clear as day…“

He looked at Mimi’s face and shut up.

„okay, I lost. What’s you wish?“

She straightened her clothes and hair anxiously. „Steal something from angel Fencio. From his office.“  she said with an innocent smile.

Sammy:“ What?! Are you just mad about me telling the truth?

Mimi:“ Do it“

Sammy:“ He’ll kill me if I get caught“

Y/N:“ in your own interest, you should try not to get caught.“  I said with deep smile

Adi:“ it looks like a new demon will appear," he said with excitement.

After a while, Sammy flew in and showed what looked like a small phonograph

Mimi:“ the Translator? You intentionally took something that Fencio doesn’t care about?“ she said in disgust

Y/N:" what can it translate?

Sammy:" Anything you want“

Y/N:" what about the old statue"

Andy:" you mean Nemesis"?

Y/N:" yeah"

Vicky:“ What language did Nemesis speak?“

Adi:“ Old Angelic“

Vicky:“ Do you know it?“

Mimi:“ No. No one’s relly used it for a long time. When demons and angels began to work with humans, they picked up on their dialects“

 Y/N:" so let's try it!" I took the translator and went to the statue"

The others followed me. When we arrived there was no one there.

Vicky:“ where is everybody?

Mimi:“Geralt is always late…. But we’re also about ten minutes early“

Y/N:“ So, how to use it?“

Adi:“ Puti t up to her mouth like megaphone“

the statue was taller than I expected but I was still able to put it in her mouth and then she started moving her lips and started talking

„Changes are coming. The day cannot last foraver, but the night will be ruthless and terrifying. Your demise has one blue eye and the other red. He will come and také your peace away. He fill the pools with blood and tears. What happened once will happen again. She stopped speaking and returned to her previous pose as though she’d never moved at all.“

We looked nervously at each other

Y/N:“ it looks like we're in for trouble“

After a few minutes, we heard hurried steps coming toward us.

Geralt appeared at the countryard’s entrance.

He came down the stairs, disheveled and little out of breath.

The others angels and demons followed him in a line.

Geralt:“ Ah, you’re already here. Good.

 Arrange yourselves into several rows.

Geralt:“ Vicky, stand here in the center. Turn around so you cannot see who is standing where. Now, I will call out yours group members. Your task is to locate the person I name. Without looking. Relying on energy alone. Do you understand?“

Vicky:“ Yes“  then asked her where Andy, Mimi, Sammy, Adi and finally me were standing. She was able to identify all of them. This one tested us all. We all made it.

All of a sudden a deafening screech ochoed thtough the sky. Everyone looked up, trying to find the sourse.

Mimi:“ is that a seagull?“

Austie:“ It can’t be“

The screech came again. This time, it was louder and longer. The next moment, a tiny white appeared from behind the academy towers.

Andy:“It is a seagull!“

Mimi covered her mouth with her hands, staring at little bird in horror.

Y/N:“ I knew there would be trouble!"

Vicky:“ What’s the matter? It’s just a seagull“

Mimi:“ You don’t understand“

Sammy:“ A seagull above the academy is forebonding sing“

„It’s harbinger if disaster“ Mimi added

After a while, the whole flock was in the sky until the cola covered the sky

Geralt:" Shepha, enlighten us" he said in fear and amazement

One by one. The birds were dropping from the sky---- dead.

Geralt:“ everyone, get inside! Now!“ He was scared

I literally grabbed Mimi and threw her inside then yelled at the others to hide.

BAM

I turn around and I see this thing. Subantra, that thing is standing over Vicky, about to attack.

I ran and threw the thing to the ground.

Y/N:" RUN" I helped Vicky up and ran into the building, but the creature was faster and slashed me across the back.

Y/N:" AAAGH!"

everything happened so fast, when I turned around Geralt disarmed the thing, then came running up to me

Geralt:" Hang on, boy, you're gonna be all right"

There was a lot of blood coming out of my back, Adi and Sammy grabbed me and carried me.

Then I just heard Geralt explaining to Vicky what Subantra was, then I passed out.

So apparently I’m loving the romance of side characters more than me and my own LIs 😂

Adi and Sammy - Young Love and ✨GAY✨

Mammon and Eliza - Spicy old married couple

Even Geralt and Misselina, with little subtle interactions they have, melt my heart 🥹

Mimi and Christopher is growing on me 🫶

[gorgeousgreymatter-x]

me, a simple bisexual wishing to be the jam in a yen and geralt sammy with a sprig of jaskier on top

[will-bite-if-given-the-chance]

Hs accent headcanons and voice claims because it’s plaguing my mind

Mc is the classic western American

Mimi sounds like nadja from wwdits

Lucifer sounds like lazslo from wwdits

Dino has an Irish accent maybe?

Andy has an Australian accent (cuz Australia sounds exactly like the place he would voluntarily go to)

Seraph Crowley sounds like David Attenborough

Satan has a Texan accent

Rebecca has a classic harrypotter-ish British accent

Winchesto has a slight Russian accent

Geralt has a more prominent Russian accent

Malbonte definitely sounds ANCIENT

Sammy maybe French?

If Sammy has a French accent then Adi definitely has a German/Dutch accent idk it just fits

✨I ran out of ideas but all of those are true in my head✨

PINNED POST !!! (as I revamp this blog for the umpteenth time)

hello and welcome! this is an independent roleplay blog for geralt of rivia from The Witcher series (also lovingly referred to as Catdad🐱). primarily book/game canon and extremely headcanon-based (as i'm too lazy tired to keep up with the ✨lore✨)

includes verses for other fandoms such as dragon age, skyrim, genshin impact, botw/totk, etc.

written by sammy (she/her, 25+)

rules below cut for everyone's ease! 😊

RULES

low/sporadic activity.

selective and private, which means I will only roleplay with mutuals. This goes for ask box memes, starter calls, etc.

very crossover friendly. Honestly, I actually rather prefer writing crossovers, as I find it more fun to develop relationships with characters Geralt would otherwise never meet. Of course I'll write with Witcher characters, too, but just to throw that out there for the other fandoms; you're exceptionally welcomed here!

multi-ship.

I will NOT roleplay smut on tumblr. Anything leading up to it is fine and I'm 100% down for flirting and the like, but any ships on this blog will be naught but "fade to black" in those situations. Thank you for understanding. 😊

Quick Guide to the Muse

Geralt is a witcher, or a monster hunter for hire. He fulfills contracts that earn him coin.

His eyes, gold and cat-like, are what people recognize and what mark him as a witcher along with the wolf head medallion around his neck.

He carries two swords on his back—one made of silver, the other of iron. It is believed that the former is for monsters and the latter for humans, but a myth, as iron too is lethal to particular breeds.

Due to mutations undergone in witcher training, he has superhuman abilities—heightened senses of all kinds—in addition to the use of certain magic.

As a witcher, he has a bad reputation. Witchers aren’t regarded highly. This goes for all verses; in most cases he is considered a mutant, abomination, freak, etc.

2022 Fic Year in Review

Scope note: I am including the WIP I completed this year, which will also appear in the previous year during which chapters were posted, if I ever get around to making a fic year in review post for that year. Stories posted for 2022 Christmas fic exchanges are included in this post.

In 2022 I posted 17 stories, including the concluding chapters of one WIP begun in 2021, for a total of over 104,000 words of fic posted in four fandoms. This was a pretty average number of stories for the past several years (since 2017, I've posted 12-18 stories per year) and a bit of a bounce back from last year's total of less than 82,000 words of fic posted. Weirdly, my word count total for 2022 was within a hundred words of my total from 2007, when I was, uh… working full time, in grad school, and shoveling most of my writing into a story I wouldn't post until the following year. 2022… also had its challenges, but I continue to regard it as The Year My Writing Came Back From The War, so I am pretty pleased all in all.

I actually wrote over 155,000 words of fic this year, with most of the unposted word count going to the Sandman Nightmare Apocalypse AU I started as a Nanowrimo project which… only needs another 80K or so, so… it could get finished in 2023? Maybe??

Story titles this year quoted The Mountain Goats, Taylor Swift, Rainier Maria Rilke, Beck, Swedish synth-pop duo The Knife, U2, T.S. Eliot and Sammy Cahn, who I have just this moment learned was the lyricist responsible for "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!"

Under the cut: fic list and year in review questions answered!

Critical Role

The Cabots - Cat Sebastian

Caleb Murphy Gets a Hug

My best story this year: Probably "Rock Bottom of a Hallowed Ground", I think?

My favorite story this year: "Licking the Spoon"

My most popular story this year: Also "Licking the Spoon" by a fair margin but I swear I would love it even if it weren't!

Most fun story to write: Probably "Introduction to Goncharov Studies"!

Story with the single sexiest moment: (So I am cutting and pasting these questions from a previous year and the answer to this question from 2018 began with "I guess it depends on how you feel about tentacles?" which technically is not a relevant answer this year because I haven't posted any of that kind of Dreamling fic yet, but it feels very apt anyway.) "One Hit, One Kiss"

Story with the single sweetest moment: "The Weather Outside Is Frightful" almost in its entirety.

Story with the single saddest moment: Logic compels me to at least consider that it's "An Endless End" but I don't think of that as a sad story? I think it's probably "Live Along Some Distant Day" or possibly one of the other ones with Caleb in them because I mean: Caleb.

My weirdest/kinkiest story as demonstrated by reader response: "One Hit One Kiss" wins the private bookmarks quotient with 54% private, edging out "Held Now by This Love" with 48% and "Whomever You Call Out to in the Night" with 45%. "Whomever" did win the highest ratio of kudos to comments (which I fondly interpret as the "I liked this but I don't want to talk about it" quotient) with 21.4 kudos per comment, just edging out "A Dream of Unusual Size" (21.3) and "A Symbol of Your Exegesis" (20).

My most startlingly wholesome story as demonstrated by reader response: "Caleb Murphy Gets a Hug" has just one private bookmark!

Hardest story to write: [2018 answer: Oh, God. All of them, in the first three quarters of the year.] Oh, God. All of them, in the first three quarters of the year. "The End Is Where We Start" probably takes the cake, since I started it back in October of 2020.

Biggest surprise: [2018 answer: Monsterfucking!] My total failure to finish writing hardly any monsterfucking, given that I got into this year's Big Monsterfucking Pairing in September! Also, getting into this year's Big Monsterfucking Pairing in September.

This year’s theme and the story that demonstrates it most: Well, rope bondage made a surprisingly strong showing, but I think I wrote a lot of stories this year about people having their needs understood and accepted and getting what they need no matter how poor a job they do of asking for it, which is pretty on-brand for me, so I'll say that "Whomever You Call Out to in the Night" and "Held Now by This Love" kind of epitomize that (and are also the ones about rope bondage, and also the first and last one-shot stories I posted this year!)

Favorite opening line: Hob Gadling had a great deal to say about how much he had to live for, and no hesitation over saying it to Dream in a great rush of meandering detail. from "Rock Bottom of a Hallowed Ground"

Favorite closing line: It will be a nice problem to have. from "Lying in Wait"

okay so how many of you are tired of hearing about how her sweet kiss is about geralt instead of yennefer? 

yeah none of you that’s what i thought.

so here’s my fucking dissertation on it because i spent an hour crying over this song at work this morning and my sister caught the brunt of my hyperfixation. 

i was listening to it and i sent it to my sister (we work in the same place and i messaged it to her via inter-office instant messenger) and i asked her what she thought of it. she gave it a go and said

“it’s a diss track about yennefer”

sure, but that’s not all it is. and it’s not exactly ABOUT geralt, either. 

it’s about jaskier. this is HIS song, about HIM. and he wrote it, picturing him staring geralt in the eyes as he performs the whole thing. 

her sweet kiss is about jaskier and i’ll tell you why. 

But her love’s as unfair as a crook It steals all my reason

so we’re all in agreement that this is jaskier talking to geralt, telling him that yen’s affections toward geralt make jaskier lose his ability to think logically and calmly as if he ever did anything calmly a day in his life

So tell me love, tell me love How is that just?

pay attention to the way he say love. as this post references, the way he enunciates the vowels is aptly described as wider than the way he’d pronounce the same sound in other worse, like just and judge. he’s putting more emphasis and feeling into that word, directed right at geralt. he’s ASKING geralt, whom he obviously looks up to, how he could be buying into this storm. he almost sounds kind of irritated, imo. maybe a little frustrated? (honestly the whole song is impassioned but it starts off a little more frustrated and by the last stanza he just sounds resigned and sad vs full of heartbroken frustration at the start)

Her current is pulling you closer

obviously this isn’t a narrative ‘you’. he’s straight up talking TO geralt. forget about him - once again, he’s envisioning himself performing this song while maintaining heartbroken eye contact with geralt. 

The red sky at dawn is giving a warning, you fool [...] I’m weak, my love, and I am wanting

NEED I EVEN TALK ABOUT HOW HIS VOICE WAVERS ON FOOL AND WEAK. yes, yes i do. in high fantasy settings such as this, when someone in jaskier’s position calls someone a fool, it’s usually because they’re so overcome with love and worry for said fool. the crack in his voice here shows just how concerned he is for geralt, even after he got yelled at and ousted from geralt’s life. the emotion in the way he says he’s weak and wanting - i can see him furrowing his brow and clenching his eyes shut because it’s obviously the most painful part of the song for him.

If this is the path I must trudge I welcome my sentence Give to you my penance Garrotter, jury, and judge

here’s his resolve - the same resolve that has kept jaskier going back to geralt over and over again for years. this stanza is rolling several of jaskier’s feelings into one and they each bleed very well into one another, from a narrative perspective. “if this is what i have to do, then i’ll do it”. he’s resigning himself to -- and this is open to interpretation. being a third wheel to yen and geralt? remaining exiled from geralt’s life? never having his feelings known, let alone returned? 

give to you my penance is an interesting line, implying that he’s willing to hand over the time he’s going to spend without geralt willingly. he’ll stay away from geralt until geralt seeks him out, because geralt told him to fuck off and yeah it came from a place of anger but jaskier is more observant and intuitive than he lets people think he is, so he knows geralt is going to need his space. so he’s just accepting that he needs to stay away despite the fact that he’s so in love with this witcher that he HAS LITERALLY ONLY WRITTEN SONGS EXCLUSIVELY ABOUT YOU OF COURSE IM IN LOVE WITH YOU, YOU DENSE WOLF.

Garrotter, jury, and judge. here’s another interesting line because of course, we all know that he was toying with gorgeous and lovely at the beginning of episode six. a garrotter is someone who kills by strangulation. so here we have pre-exile jaskier already feeling choked by the resigned fact that geralt isn’t going to love him the way he loves yen. he feels suffocated by their emotions, not his own, and GERALT is the one who has put the nail in that coffin. and aside from that, the whole MOOD of the song shifted wildly from what we hear him humming at the beginning to the finished product. it’s just slightly more jaunty at first, and he’s complimenting geralt. the finished product is a direct result of geralt’s fight with yennefer and his dismissal of jaskier immediately after.

but the REALLY INTERESTING THING is in this same scene where he’s trying to decide on lovely or gorgeous, he asks the two men this:

“Is the whole metaphor landing, or is it too cerebral?”

he’s literally asking two random dudes “do you understand the metaphor or am i reading too much into this and thinking too hard?” 

he wants to know if an audience is going to pick up on the meaning behind his song, his fucking open letter to geralt. he’s asking if he’s being transparent enough. 

tl;dr her sweet kiss isn’t so much about geralt as it is about jaskier and his own feelings. he’s speaking directly to geralt, not about him.

An accurate chart finally.

Love how we all wish Bont was real
