#i want like half the tattoos i give Geralt tbh

[comfyswitcherblanketfort]

Geralts tattoos?????? 👀👀👀👀👀 I love how much thought you put into Jaskiers 😭😍

Oh then you're gonna LOVE how much goes I to Geralt's. I'm not projecting or anything I swear also thank you for the ask I've been itching to do it

alright we're going limb by limb again bc it's easier.

So his left arm has a half sleeve of a wolf's skull across most of his bicep with a sapling growing out of a crack in the forehead. It's framed by some ferns and other little forest bits, but the main deal is the skull and the baby tree. A la this style: ⬇️ This is also the forearm he's saving for a tattoo that he really really wants but he just hasn't come across anything yet.

His right arm is a bunch of monsters in traditional black and white style. Basilisk on his lower inner arm whose tail kinda wraps around his elbow, a gruesome looking kikimore on his bicep, a griffin on his shoulder, and a dragon on his upper inner arm. Can you imagine walking into a bar with Geralt pouring drinks just covered in monster tattoos with a scowl on his face and that nasty ass kikimore staring down the door??? All impulse to start shit is out the window 😂 that boy would be intimidating af but then he smiles and you go "oh? You're not gonna kill me? Okay, can I get a manhattan" and start a drinking game with your friends to drink every time he smiles but turns out he's a softie and y'all get fucked up REAL fast.

He's got the Honeysuckle band on his right knee, but he's got the luxury of having a tattoo artist husband so he's not worried about filling up the leg as fast as he can (like Jask and his arms), he's being meticulous and planning with it. He wants to get a bunch of other plants but he and Triss haven't narrowed down the list far enough and she keeps adding more. - it's a very long project.

For his other leg he's gonna get family tattoos. He has a wolf in typical traditional style on his knee like this ⬇️ for his brothers + Ves and cried like a baby the whole time. Jask held his hand and was so sweet to him, but him and Yen ROAST the boi after it's done.

He's gonna get something for the girls and another for a character I haven't introduced yet 👀. He told Jask to draw up "whatever he wanted" for the back of his thigh and he would have Yen tattoo it bc Yen is ruthless and doesn't give a fuck if Geralt is crying. Jask took this as a personal challenge and took two months to draw it up then on April fool's he presented Geralt with a giant meme. Geralt just stared at it for a second like "babe are you serious?" before Jask called the prank bc Geralt was absolutely gonna get a stick figure singing "dick in a box" bc he just loves Jask that much. The actual tattoo is still in the works because Jask wants it to be perfect and "nothing can be as perfect at you Geralt! This will take time!"

On his torso he has the swallow on his hip and just beneath his collar bone he has a little string of mint leaves and baby's breath and buttercups to match Jaskier's sleeves. The buttercups are the only things colored in like Jask and they look extra delicate next to all those monsters and skulls. They're quite possibly his favorite.

He's got a BITCHIN sword back piece. Like the hilt ends at his hairline and the hand guard spreads out over his shoulder muscles and the blade goes all the way down his spine. Idk anything else about it bc I haven't been able to like go through and flesh it out but it would be ornate and at least a three session deal.

Then of course we have the tattooed wedding band and he loves it, more than anything, but FUCK did it HURT. And it stung for Daaaayyysss after and Geralt was whiney and sad and had to wear a glove at work and Jaskier was like "okay that's it, no more. You're too much of a whimp and I feel too guilty to hurt you like this"

So all in all: I have a lot of feelings about Geralt with tattoos and he's v soft but v methodical and precise with them and he loves his family and found family v much.

For the ask game: 💚💖💩💦 any or all!

Ship that you secretly like: 💚

Oh huh, I... don't know if I'm secret about any of my likes lmao. But I guess... Roche/Foltest? Because it's objectively a terrible ship and the power imbalance alone is enough to make one scream... but I actually really like exploring what it means for their characters.

Oh, Gascon/Roche too lmao. I hc that Gascon chose Roche to get rid of his virginity with 'cause they were bros and Roche kinda specializes in that lmao. I'll share a snip just because I can, but this is from a fic where the Throne3 meet Saskia/Iorveth/Roche. (I'll put it under a cut 'cause it's kinda long)

Ship that needs more love: 💖

Isendain for sure. Which, for those who haven't heard is Isengrim/Eldain and it's wonderful.

Also, THRONE3!!! I cannot understand how this ship is not more popular, tbh! It's the obvious ot3???? But like, 5 people played Thronebreaker and I don't even count as one 'cause I haven't finished it lmao. Anyway, Meve/Reynard/Gascon is an AMAZING ship with so much potential and people been sleeping on it.

Ship that you find disgusting: 💩

Haha, if we wanna be super niche, Geralt/Stregobor is an actual ship and I hate it. But also honestly kinda game!Yenn/Geralt, but again, mostly because I despise game!Yenn.

Ship that is taboo: 💦

Hmm, idk if I consider anything taboo these days lmao. ask me about my super dead dove fic if you want proof

but yeah, umm... I guess Foltest/Roche/Triss? 'cause tbh, I mostly just have porn WiPs for it. They like dressing up Roche as their little girl and it's fun.

Ask me a Witcher ship question!

Snip under the cut!

By the way her eye twitched, Reynard knew that Meve had no idea how to respond to that. He tried to think of a way to interrupt that wouldn’t be inappropriate, but he was saved from that by Saskia turning towards Gascon and Commander Vernon Roche.

“It would seem some of our number already know each other.”

“Oh yeah,” Commander Roche smiled – and it was quite strange to see a smile on the face of the legendary elf killer who had deserted for an elf’s love, according to the rumors. “We’re old friends.”

Reynard blinked. They what?

“Yeah,” Gascon nodded, smirk spelling trouble. “In fact, this is the man who took my virginity.”

Reynard was far from the only one that choked at that, staring in wide eyed dismay and wondering if he had, perhaps, hallucinated such a wildly inappropriate statement–

“Oh hey, me too!” one of the soldiers with the number 13 tattooed on his neck cheered. “He’s good at it, huh?”

“He really is,” Gascon agreed, amusement clear on his face.

In response, Commander Roche did nothing more than roll his eyes.

“Seriously!?” said the elf – and the very idea that Reynard was standing mere feet away from one of the most bloodthirsty Scoia’tael leaders was not at all giving him cold shivers. The red bandana covering half of his face was rather distinctive, and Reynard wondered, not for the first time, how on earth the elf hunter had turned into an elf lover.

Commander Roche shrugged. “Hey, everyone has a niche.”

“And yours is taking people’s virginity?” Saskia asked, laughter in her voice.

“And doing a damn good job of it, thank you.”

Iorveth slapped a hand to his face, groaning in exasperation. “Should I even ask who else here you’ve slept with?”

“Ah, well,” Roche started, scratching the back of his head with the hand not around Gascon’s waist.

“Raise your hand if you’ve fucked Vernon Roche!” one of the Blue Stripes soldiers shouted, and instantly, all of their hands went up, as did Saskia’s, Iorveth’s, Gascon’s – and Meve’s.

“Your Majesty!” Reynard’s scandalized voice was a little too high pitched, but really!

She lifted one shoulder in a casual shrug, “it was a political thing. Didn’t I always tell you that diplomatic conferences had their upsides?”

Her face was mildly sympathetic to his horror, but it was hard to process that around her words because what!?

“Okay, but can we talk about that guy back there who raised his hand? I see you,” the soldier with the 13 on his neck pointed, and Reynard twisted to see First Lieutenant Rethik of Scala with his hand awkwardly held in the air.

“Oh hey, I remember you,” Vernon Roche said. “Winter of ‘63, yeah?”

First Lieutenant Rethik flushed, but seemed absolutely delighted to be remembered as he nodded.

Reynard shook his head. Even one of his own men! How was this even possible!? Who was this Vernon Roche!?

“Am I the only person here who hasn’t slept with Commander Roche?” he asked hoarsely.

There was a moment of silence as all of the diplomatic representatives present pressed their lips together with a shrug.

“We could change that,” Commander Roche offered.

The croaking sound that emerged from Reynard’s throat was incoherent.

“You are absolutely not fucking my general,” Meve said sternly, “without me.”

Reynard whirled around to stare at her in astonishment, face flushing.

“Oh, oh, I’m in!” Gascon raised his hand, bouncing on his feet, and Reynard rather felt like his brain was on the verge of combusting.
