#roche/ciri

[dreamofbecoming]

reminder that since one of marina’s favorite victims closed their asks (totally understandable, no one should have to put up with constant harassment) she’s going to start sending asks to random users out of lim’s likes and followers. she may message you even if you have never posted about her ship or any of the characters she’s fixated on. Do Not Engage! she feeds off of negative attention. she wants you to reply and be angry or annoyed or even confused. if you get an ask about roche and ciri, or iorveth or cerys, just block and delete. do not feed the trolls.

HELLO. THANK YOU FOR HATING ROCHECIRI OR JUST THINKING THIS SHIP IS SHIT, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY NO ONE CAN LIKE THIS SHIP! BYE!

whoa. okay buddy. uhm.

i dont go here??? i dont know who these people are??? holy fuck dude you cant just come out swinging like this.

i don't "hate" any ships, my guy. i just don't know what the hell is going on. you've been running around on anon, yelling at random people to like a ship that you don't explain. I AM NOT IN THE WITCHER FANDOM. I DO NOT KNOW WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE.

how, pray tell, am i supposed to hate a ship that i know literally nothing about???

i'd love to have an actual conversation with you about this pairing. i would love to see you start writing fic or making fanart for them. they clearly mean a whole lot to you if you're getting up in arms about them. but this is not the way to get people invested in your ship. this just leaves a bad fucking taste in peoples' mouths.

please, log off. go outside. eat a banana. do a push-up. literally anything that's not sitting here and yelling at strangers on the internet over fictional characters.

peace love and little donuts.

Shit is you and your dumb fandom, not this poor dead ship that could have a bright future if people weren't shit and haters!

Which fandom? Resident Evil? Assassin’s Creed? Warrior cats? Puella Magi Madoka Magica? I’m in a lot of fandoms “nonny”. I offered to write your ship if you paid me. I don’t do free work for just anyone.

Especially not for someone who’s been pushing their ship everywhere.

[laurikarauchscat]

The whole witcher fandom is evil people who can only shit up an unwanted ship and write a lot of nasty things about it.

Two new Roche Stories

After my great fan went from writing to me, to writing to my friend, going as far as sending 100 messages in one night, I decided to write that Roche/Ciri story she was so looking for. So here we go. Another smaller Roche story comes as the top of the cherry.

[she-sends-these-asks-to-anyone]

this is a blog for people who wonder why they got this ask and the answer is "don't worry she sends this to anyone, it's best to just ignore her"

there is one person who is angry that not everyone is into her ship and tries to force it on us all

I'm reblogging asks that were sent to people who have nothing to do with this part of fandom or already told her to stop sending these kinds of asks so we all know that this is just random spam, nothing to lose your energy over

there is no sense in arguing and please don't attack her, she craves bad attention, just ignore future asks, mark as spam, delete and block (tho she uses vpn)

if you want to know more go to @marinamd29-stopharassingpeople

or read @she-who-drank-vodka-with-cats posts recounting a full year of trying to reason with marina aka the roche/ciri anon

yes, people were nice and polite to her and still got anon hate in their inbox

PS: Her Instagram account dedicated to the ship has over 800 followers and each post gets some comment and likes. I don't know why she's so desperately looking for more approval from random people on tumblr instead of interacting more with those who like her ship

_________________________________

I didn't want to share her accounts before, because I worry that people will use it to do exactly what she accuses everyone of, but it's the best way to limit the anon asks. blocking an anon blocks the IP address, but since she uses VPN, she can still send anons from her usual blogs. if you block those blogs directly, she has to create new ones before being able to send you more asks. Just, please, only use this to block her, don't become the asshole sending around hate yourself

block those "marina's old blog" accounts too! that's just her playing dead!

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (2015)

[revoevokukil]

TW3 Story Leaks

It's Saturday, and I bring you some cold, hard rumour.

It seems somebody on reddit is working through the leaks of The Witcher 3, claiming approximately 300k of lines relating to the previous story iterations also leaked in 2023. Much of what they are claiming matches with the leaked files from 2014, which I have also worked through. There is completely new information too, though, and they plan on publishing their work-through early 2025.

So far, this is the information I've gathered from their posts:

Iorveth's daughter was Vernossiel. Her quest had her involved with a cult of the Bloody Mother; spores from a particular "flower" affected her thinking so she got brainwahsed into being sacrificed in a ritual killing in order to rise as the Bloody Mother herself.

Cerys was fake-Ciri.

The Baron (or Baron’s men?) was originally a rapist.

The Big 4 was originally Big 5, including Isengrim. Isengrim and Iorveth had houses in Novigrad.

Vincent Meis' model existed.

There was a quest with “thralls” (most likely Following the Thread involving Jad Karadin and the Faroe island) where Geralt would temporarily get married to a chieftain’s daughter.

We’d lock Yennefer in dimeritium handcuffs at one point to prevent her from interfering with the King’s Gambit questline.

Avallac’h provided Geralt with the means to warg as a rat in order to eavesdrop on the meeting of the Big 5 (including Isengrim) on Dijkstra’s ship. (Iorveth was planning on blowing the ship up.)

The Catriona Plague questline. It had a Nilfgaardian general Martin running a krankenhaus, where was infecting his countrymen with the plague and stealing their valuables. He made deals with Gaunter O’Dimm (his involvement in HOS is as a leftover from here) to get a cure for the Catriona, then with Gaunter’s archnemesis to get to keep the cure. Geralt had to figure it all out as Catriona was becoming more and more rampant and the faction with the cure would have huge leverage in how the war questline would resolve. Geralt would get the chance to hand the cure back to Gaunter, to Radovid, or Emhyr.

Iorveth got infected with Catriona, then infected Thaler to improve his morale on getting a cure (Thaler promised Iorveth a cure for assassinating Emhyr or some such.)

The war quest lines were somehow related to the dreamer Corinne Tilly who was a Nilfgaardian spy.

Voorhis laid siege to Crow’s Perch because Temerian rebels took it over.

The Sabbath originally had slave markets, an orgy meadow, and ritual suicides. Changed after 2014.

There was an option to assassinate Radovid after taking out Roche, so Dijkstra's rule was always an option.

Roche originally preferred fighting for Temeria no matter what. Reason of State had Roche vs Thaler and Dijkstra.

Radovid was more like his W2 self. Emhyr "more like Stalin."

Radovid took over the Temple Isle.

Emhyr was supposed to appear in the army camp center.

If Emhyr lost, Voorhis would overthrow him.

All the content showcasing Nilfgaardian war crimes was cut: a Nilfgaardian general was spreading the Catriona plague, robbing his dying countrymen; Voorhis' cruelty during the siege of the Crow's Perch, Nilfgaardians' direct attack on Kaer Trolde.

Crach died during the battle for Undvik and Voorhis negotiated over his body; the corpse was returned and Nilfgaard respect local burial traditions.

Melusine quest line had more content related to blood shrines.

There was an opportunity to try and convince Caranthir to betray Eredin, after which he'd get replaced by some elven lady (Isilira?). (Conflicted about this, as in 2013 leaks it seemed Caranthir knocks Avallac’h out on Naglfar when Geralt and him try to infiltrate it.)(Isilira is the lady you meet in Avallac’h’s lab in the released version.)

There was a sequence in White Orchard in the Empress ending where Voorhis had announced he'd arrive and propose to Ciri in few days, but Ciri lost Emhyr's signet ring to prove his approval of the marriage. Then some kind of gamble ensued under the influence of a Korred, and Ciri decided if she'd win she'd marry and if not she'd run away (not sure if this shouldn't it be the other way around).

Gameplay-wise:

There was a 'vital spot' system, where you gained points by performing various actions and could then use those points to perform combat moves that would either weaken of 1-shot an enemy.

Manticores were cut.

Players could buy boats and horses; rowboat for rivers and lakes.

Wind tunnels and proper storms in which a boat could tilt over.

Water combat was cut.

Focus mode in combat was cut.

[piranhaincaps]

What if Vernon Roche runs into Ciri (while she is sad and drunk) in a tavern and cheers her up with he stories?

i don't take prompts atm

but the prospect of Roche cheering up Ciri as they share stories about their loves was too cute to resist a quick sketch 😊

[stophatevernonciri]

@chicaneryatelier

He said that he could love Roche/Ciri, but when I offered him peace and began to show my work, he considered it shit and blocked me.

And he chose, of course, the named rorvethtotalitarianism, because this ship is a favorite of the fandom and everyone loves it and should love it. Any other opinion is condemned.

[cenviswasteland]

write a fanfiction about RocheCiri please

howdy! juno here. let's talk.

i'm not opposed to writing pairings that i have little to no clue about, so i went and did some digging. seems like there's been a weird influx of anon messages to different folks about roche/ciri stuff as of late. and a lot of it seems rude / spiteful / vindictive. i've watched one person's tolkien blog get spammed by roche/ciri anons for seemingly no reason, and it's not a pleasant read.

listen. i don't know who you are, if you've been participating in the spamming, etc. but in general, i'm not interested in dealing with possible backlash. i get nothing out of this. i'm not putting my ass in the fire for a single request, especially when the vibes are so weird. i generally don't like the witcher, anyway. don't know how / why i got this kind of an ask, cuz my blog has practically no witcher content.

be kind to those around you. please don't spam me lol.

peace love and little donuts or what have you.

[tigerlyla-of-metinna]

I got this anon message too from Marina, which I deleted, and I had been wondering...

Where have I read this before? It sounds so familiar, like something I wrote.

This ask has been circulating around tumblr for awhile and it nagged at me that the wording -even with its grammar mistakes- is so... me. So I scoured the tags of Cerys an Craite because the ask mentioned two powerful monarch, and Roche aint royalty.

And I found it! Marina pilfered it from my post!

Under Cerys an Craite, I wrote the following:

Now you know the originals.

My god, she cant even ask a simple question without resorting to A) insults and B) plagiarizing.

[cilil]

Use this hashtag if you are against their (fans of ships Cerys/Ciri/Voorhis and Roche/Iorveth) hate #stophatevernonciri and #cirysnotcanon #rorvethnotcanon

[valandhirwriter]

STOP PLEASE WRITING HAIGHT ABOUT VERNONCIRI!!! I HAVE ALREADY REALIZED THAT THIS SHIP IS NOT INTERESTING TO ANYONE AND IS WORTHY ONLY OF NASTINESS AND HAIGHT!!!

For the last time: just stop making a nuisance of yourself. Stop pestering people with your messages, stop leaving weird comments, or sending pictures. Right now you have racked up over 10 Comments and messages already, and I'll really have to think of some new story about Roche. Stay away, and I'll not think of the next crazy adventure for him, though I think the toads were quite funny.
