Watching the Olympics, and I was struck by the idea that Edwin would be a brilliant gymnast in some Catwin sports AU. And now my mind is whirling -- would the Cat King be a rival from another country, or on the same team? A coach? From another sport entirely, but he always manages to watch Edwin compete and it unnerves him? I wish I knew more about the Olympics because OMG OLYMPIC VILLAGE SHENANIGANS, or like an inJURY??? Ugh so much potential!!

p.1
The tavern around them has gone awfully quiet. He knows what the patrons are seeing, can hear their scared whispers, the fearful speculations of what's about to happen to him, knowd about the hushed words of a butcher at work. But Jaskier also knows Geralt, better than anyone else he'd like to think. He knows that the witcher in front of him is absolutely terrified of Jaskier.
The sword's edge held against his throat is silver. Geralt thinks he's a monster and Jaskier can't really blame him. Faced with their impending death, any other human would show clear signs of fear, but Jaskier's heart and mind are calmer than ever. He's been in this very tavern, in this very same situation too many times before. The sword has long stopped bothering him.
"Yes, I am aware how this looks, but for once, could you just trust me? I'm trying my best here but you're not-"
The sword draws blood and Jaskier stops talking. He's pretty sure he's about to fail again and already considers his next time approaching Geralt. Maybe playing clueless is the right choice after all, it definitely takes longer and means a lot more heartache for him in the end, but if he plays his cards right maybe this time-

Yknow something that gets me abt certain fanon depictions of kai is that he’s portrayed with no sense of self preservation, as if he’s self sacrificing and burned out, and I think I dislike it bc it feels like the opposite of his character most of the time.
Yeah some of the actions he takes are harmful to himself in some way, but it’s never intended to, they were ways of coping and making himself feel better.
Like the green ninja plot, he is insecure in his place, so he strives for the highest title to make him feel better.
The red shogun isn’t him beating himself up and not caring about his own well being. He was winning fights, fully engaging in the job, taking his frustration out on others and drinking away his issues, and yeah there’s self loathing in that, but there’s also him trying to make himself feel better, to redirect hurt away from himself.
Him prematurely concluding his parents were the bad guys in s7, is (imo) his way of rationalising his mixed feelings, in order to keep himself okay.
He’s not a reckless war machine who throws himself into battle with no hesitation, he tries to keep himself safe.
Kai is self-prioritised and yknow I think people in general really demonise that kinda of trait both in fiction and irl and that’s actually kind of harmful. The self sacrificial trait is so grossly over romanticised and idk it’s a breathe of fresh air when you see a character who doesn’t start out that way or end that way. Like nothing wrong with that trait being written, it’s just like sometimes it feels like people are only allowed to prioritise themselves if they previously have no sense of self care, bc then it’s seen as a healthy improvement. But in any other case, it means you’re selfish and that’s a bad thing apparently.
Like no. Being selfish and loving yourself and thinking you are hot shit and the smartest person alive and prioritising things that make you happy. None of that makes you evil or morally wrong. If in attempts to meet your needs you try to hurt someone else, or end up hurting yourself, then the action you took was bad but the intent isn’t! Fuck the media that finds people loving themselves as immorally wrong! Fuck it! It is not sexy to hate yourself actually.
I want more fanon Kais indulge in activities that make him happy, Kais that make bad decisions in trying to protect himself and Kais that have good coping mechanisms because he’s still trying to protect himself he’s just found better ways of doing it.
Bc it’s canon and it feels like it gets erased a bit because people somehow don’t find self love appealing unless the character was self hating first.

screw this i want to read a book or watch a movie about some child needing to become a top student in an academy (with lots of aesthetic) that specializes in archery. and the whole entire story just teaches both the characters and readers what archery really is and how unique each type of it really is, and not how media described it to be like- IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES
