this is a conversation Geralt and Jaskier have 100% had.

well i think we all would. You’re not special

Kid!Jaskier and Essi were cute 🥺

Geralt can’t help but notice how often people touch Jaskier. Whenever the bard performs, hands are constantly on him—grabbing, pulling, lingering. Even when he’s not on stage, someone always finds a way to lay claim to him with a casual touch or an overfamiliar grasp.

Once, in a tavern, Geralt watched in disbelief as a stranger simply scooped Jaskier onto their lap without so much as a word of permission. Jaskier had only laughed, brushing it off like it was nothing.

Geralt often wonders how Jaskier manages to breathe beneath all those hands. He, at least, is careful—always asking before he reaches for him, always making sure his touch is welcome.

Jaskier, for his part, doesn’t understand why Geralt is the only one who won’t touch him freely. Everyone else treats him like something to be claimed, handled, passed around without thought. A small, aching part of him fears it’s because Geralt sees him as something fragile, something already broken.

“If you know my name it is only because you know his songs” from Geralt directed at Jaskier’s CHILDHOOD BULLY I’m never recovering from this

I finally got to watch “The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep” again, so here's the third part of:

Things we learned/confirmed about our bard in “The Witcher: Sirens of the deep”

Geralt is always ready to protect his bard on hunts.

He and Geralt share the coins from the hunts and his performances as a bard (awww like in the fanfics). 

He often suffers from financial problems thanks to sharing Geralt's coin and moral code (but he never leaves him alone)

Geralt lets Jaskier touch him as he pleases even though physically Jaskier couldn't move an inch of the witcher if Geralt didn't want to (you know, that scene at the beginning where they're in the tavern, Geralt gets up to leave and Jaskier with a firm hand on his shoulder puts him back in his sit)

He went to Bremervoord, his old town where no one appreciated him and he suffered from bullying and from which he fled so desperately to be himself, just because Geralt was avoiding you-know-who.

He never misses an opportunity to badmouth Yennefer LOL.

He was the driver of the carriage on Ellander's trip to Möen that Yennefer was talking about in S3E1 where she and Geralt did everything but talk (to be honest, I'm not really sure on this point but in the scene where the driver is seen steering the carriage you can see a blue doublet that may be Jaskier's trademark, but maybe I'm just projecting my bard on everything LOL)

It's Jaskier The Bard, The Song Don of Oxenfurt, The Crooner of the Continent

Essi “Little eye” is like Jaskier's little sister and the bard's #1 defender (Sooo cute and sad considering that probably, and following canon, that was the last time Jaskier saw Essi)

Geralt only learned that “Julian” was the bard's real name 20 years later. 

He used to say he was originally from Oxenfurt (considering this point, it makes me wonder at what point the Viscount of Lettenhove thing came in).

He was meant to be a man of the sea, but he was “creative and different and they treated him horrible because of that” (MY SHYLAAAAAA, I liked that they gave more lore to his past, is it better than what I've read in fanfics? I don't think so, but it's appreciated anyway)

He's a superstar, master of the scene (we already knew this but it never hurts to remember it).

Jaskier steals Geralt's beer 

Geralt is quite used to Jaskier's nonsense and dramatics (that scene where Jaskier spits out the beer, which he took from Geralt, for knowing that Essi is a bard and the witcher just shakes the drink off without blinking)

“If you know my name, it's because you know his songs” (What the hell???? Geralt was so ready to defend his bard's honor).

Jaskier is Geralt's official wingman (he just doesn't want him to be with Yennefer). 

Geralt hunts and cooks for him (awwww)

Jaskier doesn't like Geralt's cooking.

Jaskier knows that Geralt has a big heart and is a softie. 

And there was only one tent, Geralt sleeps outside the tent (probably to keep watch, but there's no way they haven't shared a tent at least once)

Jaskier is a very heavy sleeper

As a bard, he is aware of political, social and economic issues in many parts of the Continent (which helped Geralt to solve the Sirens' problem). 

He is the beauty and moral support in the team (he is gorgeous).

Geralt removes Jaskier from the path of danger (that scene where Melusina in the form of the princess goes for Geralt and he removes Jaskier)

No matter what anyone says, Jaskier solved the case. 

Moral support of Geralt when they call him “sewer cleaner”. 

“And yet, for all the talk of Witchers lacking emotions, I know how to hurt you *proceeds to order Jaskier's death.

Jaskier was already saying goodbye to Geralt and blaming himself for returning to Bremervoord.

Jaskier may always be the damsel in distress, but when the situation calls for it he knows how to use a sword and fight in spite of his fears (keep the swords away from the bard when he is shocked and scared)

Zelest, welcome to Jaskier's harem.

Despite all the drama and commotion in the fights, Geralt constantly checks that his bard is alive and well, always ready to drop everything and help if needed.

Jaskier is quite used to Geralt's favorite technique of being eaten.

Jaskier has been to many royal weddings 

Jaskier gave up his life and everything he knew in order to fulfill his dream of being a bard (and he made the right decision) 

“But for now, looks like Jaskier will have to do” (To be honest, I don't know how to take this lol).

Jaskier is the one who decides where to go in his adventures with Geralt. 

The whole Sirens of the deep is set immediately before the dragon hunt (and that breaks my heart)

And last but not least, Joey Batey is the love of my life (and I love that they respected his incredibly blue eyes). 

(I didn't think this would turn out to be so long but here we are, sorry for the verbal vomit).

You can check the previous parts here and here

omg and i hope jaskier is finally like “now you see how i felt for years, geralt. YEARS!” and he’s all smug about it too

Okay so after the mountain breakup and makeup, jaskier has a new horse. He super excited to introduce Geralt “horse girl” Riviera to his sweetheart of a horse, Pegasus. He talk about how well mannered and precious his horse is; and how he just had to buy him off of his old owners who didn’t treat him right — “ I mean they didn’t even give him apples, Geralt, who does that?? —

Geralt is expecting a dainty normal horse, maybe with ribbons in his hair, like his owner. But they get to the stables and jaskier skips over to this behemoth of a war horse. (I’m thinking like a shire horse type breed).

Jaskier is just absolutely besotted with the “sweetheart” and Geralt is petrified. This horse is bigger than roach. It’s glaring at Geralt with the rage of hellfire. Geralt is like 57% sure it’s a hell horse.

It’s also super protective of jaskier and it hates Geralt. Pegasus is always moving in between the two and when Jaskier starts giving Geralt attention Pegasus whines and Jaskier will go back to him.

Geralt is not jealous no matter what anyone says. He tries to tell Jaskier about how his demon horse keeps glaring at him and bumping him off the road. But everytime he tries to point it out Pegasus has the most innocent look on his face.

It would be so funny to see a horse and a Witcher try and fight for Jaskier attention

jaskier and the plank

Childhood's trauma

Reactivated... once.

Twice...

In a short period.

Ciri: this is my father Geralt and this is my dad Jaskier and this is my mother Yennefer and this is my mom Tissaia-

[thedemonofcat]

At seven years old, Jaskier first realizes he has no real friends. The other children in Lettenhove only play with him because their parents are paid to keep the young Viscount entertained.

Even after leaving for Oxenfurt to become a bard, things don’t improve. He soon discovers that his fellow students see his noble status as a means to gain entry into the Royal courts rather than valuing him for who he is.

For a long time, Jaskier believes Geralt is different—that the witcher likes him simply for being himself. But that illusion shatters the night he returns to Lettenhove with Geralt. Hidden behind a pillar, he watches as his parents hand Geralt a sack of coins.

“For looking after Julian.”

[scrambleddragonegg]

de-aged! geralt who ends up younger than ciri and she sure as hell doesn’t know how to change him back

he willingly follows jaskier because he likes his singing so much it reminds him of the lullabies his mother used to sing for him

he then trails after yennefer like a duckling because he thinks magic is awesome

the two of them give into his every whim and spoil him rotten while ciri and vesemir try to figure out what the fuck is going on because she even took his mutations and didn’t just make him tiny??? like he has his curls again and everything???

triss eventually gets involved and geralt panics because he doesn’t recognize her and he’s scared of mages for some reason now??? they try to explain that yennefer is also a mage but he is like “but yenn wouldn’t hurt me!” and literally it takes everyone telling jaskier that geralt will be sad if he gets hurt to not have the bard of all people storming ban ard and aretusa right now to find who hurt him this young

POV: Geralt was hexed but still has a type.

i'm sorry for the quality, but I had to finish it quickly and tonight, beacause otherwise I wouldn't have finished it ever, at all. So yeah, moonshine drinking scene from Baptism of Fire, but instead of mandrake hooch It's Cer-ve-zaa Crii-stal! Based on this meme.

Also, I know, my version of Regis looks different every time I draw him. But my headcanon is that higher vampires in the Witcher Universe trigger uncanny valley in many people, so like people's perception of him changes, yada yada, more excuses. I do plan to make pretty portraits for my Hansa so I might try harder another time.

Jaskier prancing around in these:

Chainmail is a kind of fishnets
