FUCK . Okay it seems I gotta be on Gwent lockdown this Valentine’ s if I want a chance at getting at Least one of these …

[tddoodles]

It's quite funny to watch shipper debates in which people argue in all seriousness which ship is toxic and which is not, based on the events of TDA and TDWT. Like… guys, almost ALL of the romantic relationships are written poorly here, how can you even use that as an argument?

In itself, each of the ships has potential and positive aspects: - Gwent is a soft and calm soul-warming thing. - Duncney is a timeless classic "he was a punk, she did ballet" with huge potential for character development and the bonus of the ballerina getting to kick punk's ass. - Gwuncan - a strong duo that accepts each other in all aspects.

*heavy sigh about what we could have gotten but didn't get*

I just want to say, actually here are no bad ships, only bad writing.

*throws the mic*

[donovaneagle2098]

Something I really like about Gwent's Witcher Mentor cards is the little things their armor design's imply. We see throughout the books and games that Geralt generally sticks to similar outfits to the armor of the School of the Wolf, simple jackets and loose clothing that doesnt impede movement, and its the same with each mentor.

The Cat School's mentor is wearing a simple jacket and hood over what looks like an old vest from the enhanced version of the armor set. He clearly likes the anonymity of the hood, but as his set has started to take damage, just used simple clothing to replace it rather than repair it. So as his armor got destroyed, he kept the look but made due with whatever he liked, which fits how Witchers are generally portrayed as poor and working almost gig economy jobs.

One of the biggest questions surrounding the Bear school is how they afford to repair their gear, and while their school being better stocked and having quartermasters is one answer, the Bear Mentor's outfit shows that he ended up also ditching his chainmail instead of repairing it and keeping the under layer of gambeson, which is both warm and protective, perfect for the Bear's more defensive twist on the Witcher fighting style and gives credence to more recent lore drops that imply the Bear's tactic of tanking blows to stay in sword range is more up to their skill with the quen sign and they still dodge and fight similarly to other Witchers. It makes sense, since even their sturdiest armor is still designed around flexibility. The gloves are also not from the Bear school set, and it looks like he bought new ones and modified them to include the traditional Witcher silver studs, in the event he loses his sword mid-fight.

This is less apparent in the armor of the Griffin and Viper, though the Griffin mentor does swap out his gloves for a more basic pair you'd find throughout the Witcher 3

All in all I love the implication that each of these mentors were given a set of armor, and as it took wear and tear, found similar bits of gear to what they were familiar with, similar to Geralt buying himself a nice leather jacket similar to Wolf School tradition.

Regressor!Geralt Headcanons

(with cg!Eskel)

When it comes to witchers and whether or not they experience regression, there is no discriminatory factor based on the School of their training, because it is the commonalities that they share that make regression quite common. These commonalities by and large are some form of trauma—the trauma of being taken from home at a young age, the trauma endured while undergoing the Trial of the Grasses, the trauma of being ostracized from most of society to slay monsters (which, again, slaying monsters isn't exactly a pleasant experience, but rather a matter of survival of the fittest). Whether it be any one of these events or a long life of built up stressors, that burden eventually becomes too much to bear and something has to give. Even for someone that the outside world has labeled a 'mutated freak' at best and 'inhuman' at worst. But witchers are secretive as a means of self-preservation, and while their lifestyle might breed trauma responses like regression they aren't going to key everyone else in on this little fact. Most deal with it alone, though back when there were more of them it wouldn't be uncommon to see glimpses of one helping care for another. That's the only reason Geralt has any sort of inkling about what starts happening to him not long after the Blaviken incident. He hadn't wanted to get involved either way, had tried to dissuade Renfri from her plans but she had been stubborn and he got caught up in a mess like always... Killing was no stranger to him, but he hadn't wanted to kill Renfri. And something about it was the last stone on the scale, creating an imbalance within him that was now tipping down heavily into 'small'.

It's little things at first, things that are easy enough to repress if he catches them—like the urge to chew on the leather ties on his gauntlets, or the urge to play with Roach when they're stopped at a stream. Witchers, perhaps as a result of the mutations combined with their survival instincts, are quite good at denying their regression until they are settled someplace safe for what they expect to be an extended period of time. For Geralt, that place is naturally Kaer Morhen. So when winter finally rolls around and he returns home the dam starts to crack after months of repressing everything small. But the old castle is big, and he thinks he can keep hiding most of any sort of tell just by keeping to himself. Until they convene for supper, that is. Then it becomes a lot harder to hide how clumsily he's gripping his spoon, or stifle the slight whine when he spills some of his rabbit stew down the front of his doublet. Vesemir huffs and mutters something about him being fussy, and Lambert snickers, but Eskel? Eskel looks concerned, having picked up on the fact that this isn't just some off day for Geralt but something else. And that's all it takes, really—Eskel has always been protective of Geralt, the two having been in the same group to go through the Grasses together and being close enough that many people thought they were related by blood. While he figures Vesemir has decided to assess the situation from a distance, Eskel believes he will fare better if he takes a more direct approach. Which is why he decides to rope Geralt into a game of gwent up in his room after dinner. It doesn't take much convincing either, as Geralt is happy for an excuse to head up early and not have a round of drinks with the others. After all, it's far easier to hide what's happening if he's just with one other person, right?

Wrong. He was very, very wrong. He gets proven wrong fairly quickly, too. They barely have their cards out when Geralt finds himself slipping quite a bit, though Eskel is nothing if not patient. He doesn't laugh when he makes mistakes concerning the basic rules of their card game, only gently reminds him of how to play. Nor does he laugh when Geralt starts to find the game too difficult, the cards too hard to read. No, instead he simply guides him to bed once he starts rubbing sleepily at his eyes, saying they can share like old times when Geralt hints that the journey through the halls of Kaer Morhen seems scarier tonight. The suggestion is all too easy to accept with his head starting to feel so fuzzy, and without thinking he burrows himself into Eskel's chest and sighs when he's pulled closer. It's achingly familiar, though they hadn't taken such comforts in each other in decades. Such things had become too childish for them both at some point. But all of those years fall away as Geralt lets himself relax and melt into the reassuring hold his brother has on him. For a moment he had feared that it wouldn't be as comforting as he remembered, but if anything it was better than it had been. There was nothing to fear come morning—none of the trials could hurt them now, none of the harsher older witchers either that Vesemir couldn't always steer them away from. No monsters for them to hunt nor man to hunt them. Knowing that this time was different was soothing in a way he couldn't have anticipated. Not to mention the fact that his senses were much more heightened than before, his ears far more attuned to the steady thrum of Eskel's heartbeat lulling him to sleep.

They don't really have to talk about it come morning—even if Geralt had not woken up regressed, there would still be a silent understanding between them of what had happened. The change in Geralt was plain to see, and with regression being common among witchers, well... Eskel doesn't mind that his little brother is considerably littler now and instead just gets them both ready for the day. It's not that big of a deal considering the kinds of things they regularly go through; if anything this is a nice break for everyone involved. So what if Geralt regresses? All that means is instead of helping Eskel tend to the horses that morning he wound up toddling around the courtyard behind Lil' Bleater, pointing out things with an excited albeit soft noise of delight (apparently, Lil' Bleater attempting to eat a rock was the pinnacle of entertainment for the little wolf). And he would have probably been content to continue to chase after the goat all morning had they not gotten called in for breakfast. Geralt is reluctant to leave the goat, and even more reluctant to see the other two witchers if the way he attempts to hide behind Eskel is any indication. What if they aren't as okay with him being...with Eskel taking care of him? But Vesemir doesn't seem surprised at all, only asking Geralt who he wants to help him with his breakfast so he doesn't make a mess like he had at dinner. Even Lambert seems alright with it, the extent of his teasing beginning and ending at the fact that he can now boast about not being the youngest out of the wolves—at least while Geralt is regressed.

As it turns out though, Geralt stays regressed a whole lot longer than he thought he would. Nearly the entirety of winter he stays small, with the occasional period of middlespacing. Perhaps it's the way his body compensates for having to put it off for so long, but Vesemir assures them all that this is completely normal for witchers. This not only eases any worries (and yes, even Lambert was concerned), but the extended time he spends small gives them all plenty of time to get to know little Geralt. After about a week they feel confident enough to say that Geralt seems to hover somewhere in the toddler years, probably at around four if they had to pick an exact age. They also start to learn a lot more about his preferences—this is not to say that they did not know any of them beforehand, but that Geralt is what some might call a picky kid. He needs his things a certain way, or he gets very upset! Things like having a schedule are important to how he functions, and while big Geralt can usually brush aside any deviations from what is expected of his day with annoyance, little Geralt struggles to deal with any major deviations. Accommodations are made accordingly however! Eskel sits down with Vesemir and Lambert so that the three of them can come up with a schedule that not only keeps Geralt happy, but also one that keeps them happy as as well. Mornings he spends with Eskel, tending to the animals. Afternoons are spent with Vesemir, helping sort Kaer Morhen's bestiaries before taking a nap (along with the older witcher, who also needs a midday nap). Evenings he spends with Lambert, toddling after him as he takes stock of their supplies and preparing things for the following day. But Geralt always goes with Eskel when it's bedtime. He just can't sleep through the night without his big brother there to keep away all the bad dreams and scary monsters!

The normality that his regression brings is perhaps the most unexpected thing about the whole affair. The winters at Kaer Morhen were already something softer than what the rest of their lives often entailed, but Geralt finds that his regression makes the season spent there almost...domestic. Without the usual pressures bearing down on them all, with his regression stripping away the need to tiptoe around certain sentiments, they can exist almost like a normal family if only for a time. And it's nice, to pretend. Pretend that this was what life was always like, that he had had a childhood not filled with training and mutations. Most people might say that childhood is the spring of their lives, but for Geralt it couldn't be any more different. Winter is filled with short days and long nights, which bring the soothing crackle of the wood in the fireplace. The smell of burning pine coiling around him, the ever-present heat it gives off permeating the space and seeping into his body and with it bringing peace along with its warmth. It felt much like his regression did—safe and familiar, soothing in a way that it had been for all of those who seek the "fire's" comfort. But the fire brings other creature comforts too. The long nights aren't lonely, quite the opposite; nights are spent keeping the fire company, filled with story and song, filling stews, the reassurance of curling into his brother's side, and the soothing touch of his father's hand as he smooths back his hair. The fire and his regression were one in the same, keeping the coldness of the world at bay. And Geralt could stay like that forever if only he did not have spring on the horizon.

Leaving in the spring is difficult. As the snow starts to thaw and melt away, so does the soothing haze of regression that has been all-encompassing for many weeks. But Geralt comes back up with a new clarity to his thoughts and with the burdens he shoulders feeling noticeably lighter. Setting out on the Path again is hard for him, but perhaps harder still for Eskel. How can he be expected to let his baby brother go out into the world to hunt monsters when a few nights ago he was afraid there might be one under the bed? But it has to be done. While they are apart and fall back into the witcher lifestyle, there are small indulgences made throughout the year. Eskel, in his travels, manages to acquire what he's certain will become treasured items: two books containing children's stories and a carefully stitched plush horse from a toy maker in Novigrad. It might have cost the entire bounty he was rewarded for slaying a cockatrice, but it will be well-worth the coin the next time he sees his brother. And for his part, Geralt slowly allows himself a few quiet nights where he middlespaces between hunts. His biology might not allow him to regress fully until he's bedded down someplace deemed safe with someone he can trust according to some instinctual part of his brain, but he can at least alleviate some of the need to be small and lessen the stress. It's small things, like allowing himself to spend some of his hard earned coin on any sweets that the inn he's holed up in may have on offer, or actually taking the time to find a warm bath house as opposed to just washing off in a cold river. The coming year may present him with many new challenges and struggles, but Geralt knows that at the end of it all rest awaits him—on the days where his regression threatens to overtake him, he can take comfort in knowing that his family is waiting for him come winter.

In general I'm not a fan of card mechanics in digital games. I'm already not big on card games in real life (I don't enjoy competitive games in general), but I think digital games are uniquely poised to use card systems inadequately. I think a lot of the time card games are used to try and abstract game actions or resources arbitrarily and introduce a weird sort of artificial scarcity to them (e.g. "I can't perform because I don't have [x] card"), whereas I feel cards are something that...basically don't really need to exist in digital frameworks most of the time because I believe their benefits often uniquely solve problems most relevant to physical play (e.g. randomly generating a unique set of items in a situation where you have a limited base set).

I also think in current game design trends digital card systems are often used like a roguelike shorthand where you can work in a card system to introduce a random element that happens to feel fairer because 'it's cards'. While it certainly enforces the whole roguelike negative feedback loop that is so prominent within the genre, I just think it's so excessively arbitrary when it's tied to cards (why should I fail a run because I got a bad hand, and such).

I'm sure this is also really subjective and nitpicky but I think the games that are conceptually the most interesting involving cards are ones that consciously acknowledge that yes, it's cards, and actively attempt work that into the actual theme and core premise of the game (Inscryption, Balatro, heck even something like Gwent) to make something that is Cards But Cool and Interesting. I think there's little that feels worse than when you're playing a game that has a card game mechanic but the game itself is like, a combat dungeon crawler or shoot 'em up.

Yes okay you have A Card System but what about Cards is specifically necessary for this to be built this way? Like...why did you need a card system as opposed to just...a random modifier system or some sort of event pool? How do cards as objects specifically fit in with your game or world? Your game isn't about cards in any way, but you're suddenly structuring your game system around very arbitrary rules that cards imply because they're applied to real-world structures of chance???? Why didn't you just...do literally anything else??

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers (except me because obvs I have done it). Spread the self-love ❤

Hi Val!

Thanks for sending this to my inbox. Sorry for the late reply. Been busy these past weeks.

Anyways I dont have that many fics on A03. Two at present and ficlets on tumblr. So if anyone is interested, these are it!

My main fic (Emhyr x Sarah) (A Painting of You) This is the moodboard and fic link. It's a vanilla pairing and wholesome, with hardly any smut (Im not that good at creating tasteful smut yet but I'm working on it)

2. The sequel to A Painting of You: The Roles We Play. It is still ongoing. I do recommend reading the first fic because it will mention a lot of the previous events.

3. The ficlet posted in episode format. It's Empress Ciri and Emperor consort Morvran and its a hilarious series of unfortunate events. Lots of naked guest appearances parading around, thanks to a stipulation of the constant GWENT winner. Guess who these guys lost their clothes to:

The other two I'll probably reblog on Sunday. So if you've not seen these, please check them out. have a chuckle on the short story :)))

i, like many, would like to see gascon and the iron falcons added in remake of the first witcher and i decided to fantasize (go insane) about why they might be added and what role they might play in the plot

the most obvious thing, i think, is that iron falcons could participate in the main conflict between the order of the flaming rose and scoia'taels as a neutral party that could help geralt get through city falling apart from the war or/and also help with salamandras

btw at the same time, it could be done so that geralt had several options to solve the problem: ask for help from scoia'taels, the order, irron falcons, thaler/vincent meis, one of his friends, or solve this shit himself

(perhaps gascon could tell something interesting about salamandras that could help geralt (or it will be just a funfact for player or lore shit i dunno), and this info was conveyed to him by adriano, who had the honor of encountering these assholes a couple of times and say hello from a "mutual friend" (dijkstra or etc who live and work in novigrad in tw3))

in addition, geralt could add in to do list quests from gascon or his people and these quests could be associated with some cards from iron judgment event in gwent for example a quest in which geralt and some of falcons find living armor, from this cdpr can make a couple of funny cutscene dialogues and a boss fight in which your companions can help you or maybe some of them can run away in fear

but also the main reason to add gascon and falcons it's propaganda from developers to play thronebreaker because this is the best game on a planet earth and you should... no YOU NEED TO PLAY THIS GAME RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!

5 facts about Ívarr

Ívarr loves olives and puts them on just about anything - sometimes eats them straight from the jar. 

He is a supernatural boy - an incubus by his father, a human - by his mother. 

He really loves fantasy, and especially speaking of such big fantasy worlds as LOTR, The Witcher and so on - he’s really obsessed with these - watching it together with him is more like taking a tour to Middle-earth, because Ívarr tends to insert a whole amount of different facts about the characters and events, so you’d probably want him to shut up 😂

He is brilliant at Gwent - yes, I adopt it shamelessly and I’m proud to say that it’s a thing in my own CP77 lore. 

He’s a cat person and has two cats - their names are Pizza and Tornado.

what's about your experience on first day of gwent masters? xD

i had a great time!

the thing about my silly little brain is that i can get socially anxious very easily. but it's not my first time at cdpr hq or seeing most of the people there, and after dedicating 5 years to the game and the community and a whole lot of awkwardness and nerves about going to the hq or shaking hands with former masters winners i can finally enjoy feeling comfortable in a single room with 70 other people. that is something that kinda gets talked about later in the evenings when a bunch of us sits in a hotel lobby drinking; the community consisting of and around those content creators welcomes, accepts, and doesn't judge. (we're all cave dwelling nerds in the end. it's only fair we're kind and patient with each other). i am going to miss these events where it all came together forever.

i got to finally meet Thirsty and TC in person! and naturally we came up with more cursed witcher factoids. it wouldn't be a proper finale without that.

people keep complimenting me on the bingo i made for the event, that's amazing and kinda wild to me. it's old grandma game and these dudes are all over it, bless their hearts.

i didn't expect the goodie bag, it's nice to see the studio step up somehow. even if the cynic in all of us may say, oh, they're just getting rid of leftovers xd. nah, i'll cherish these gifts forever too.

today is going to be brutal. after 5 (technically 6) years though, i think i'm ready.
