My constipated little lady (11 y/o cat) spent the day at the vet for observation as they gave her fluids and a bit of laxative. Still didn't manage to pass the mysterious blockage, doesn't show on x-ray other than that she's got some pockets of gas in there that haven't moved. Brought home with expectation to likely have to do surgery tomorrow if she doesn't fart it all out tonight. She's still got a thingy (don't know the english word, "kanyl" in swedish) on her leg so they don't have to stab her again tomorrow, which means she has to wear the dreaded Cone so she doesn't bite at the well-wrapped bandage.

Life is very difficult for little Smulan right now.

The vets did however tell me that she's been a Very Good Girl. Very well-behaved and easy to handle. Proud of my brave little lady.

After another 20 pulls, I got her... I lost the 50/50 getting so many Seths I had enough to fill his Mindscape before I could level him. XD Well, I got her, and that's all that matters. Time to farm for her W Engine :3 Also, the devs knew what they were doing with this pose...

After borrowing snips from my mom and making a quick run into the city to get it...

I build some little guys.

Still need paints which I forgot to get. Gonna swing by the hobby shop in the other city to get what I need. Considering it was very fun... Maybe some more guys?

Originally only wanted to post that here:

And then, because I was curious I searched it up for Germany and...

I... I thought it was US only or something? Was I living under a rock? How did I miss that?

HORRIBLE man . i am spraying him with water

[hanzajesthanza]

my attempts to avoid thoughts of geralt's hanza continue to fail, as sapkowski talks about them in front of my face.

(from manuscript, on the subject of the hero and the quest):

On this expedition, the Hero (Simple or King) is accompanied by others who are stereotypical-canonical fantasy characters, in other words - clichés:

Wizard-Mentor (the aforementioned MERLIN, Obi-wan Kenobi, Gandalf, Allanon, Belgarath, Sephrenia or Moiraine, who supports the hero with advice and help); Faithful Servant (in the case of the King, literally, in the case of the Simple, rather a childhood friend, Sam Gamgee. He serves the plot to recite wise folk maxims and prove that the simple people are the most morally healthy; or to save the ass of his master/friend where magic and a sharp sword will not help, and common sense and a strong, faithful arm will suffice). Good Knight (charismatic LANCELOT, always loyal and ready to fight, sometimes with some dark secret in his life); Worse Knight (always with some dark secret in his life, ambitious like Boromir, in the clutches of Evil, secretly collaborates with Evil, regrets betrayal, undergoes catharsis, perishes); Trickster - Conniver (see LOKI in "Materia Magiczna"**), cheerful, but can cause trouble, which attracts like a magnet; Damsel in Distress, who is saved from danger on the way and included in the team. Usually a princess in disguise. For several volumes of the cycle she does not like the Hero, in the last she becomes his wife.

* Type A = Percival, a hero who does not have power and is searching it, and Type B = King Arthur, a hero who has lost his power and wants to regain it. in other words, Type A = Reynevan and Type B = Geralt :)

** another chapter of the book, "Materia magica, or the Little Magical Alphabetical Lexicon," it's a glossary of various myth and legend. in loki's entry, he recounts some myths of loki and equivalates him with other figures across various traditions: Odysseus, Pryderi, Bricriu, Mordred, Alyosha Popovich, Coyote, Anansi, Maui). then he lists a few fantasy/spec fic characters he categorizes as trickers: Cugel (Dying Earth), Kickaha (World of Tiers), Coyote (Coyote Blue), Peter Lake (Winter's Tale), Moonglum (Elric of Melniboné), Nifft and Haldar (Nifft the Lean), Random (Chronicles of Amber), Saruman (Lord of the Rings), Shimrod (Lyonesse), Silk (The Belgariad and The Malloreon), Gray Mouser (Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser), Talen (The Elenium).

my thoughts:

pretty obvious assignments here, for the most part.

regis is the Wizard-Mentor, but, as he soon loses his mystique, his intellectual, philosophizing manner becomes mundane and irritating than providing magical provenance. he advises incessantly, answering questions before they're asked, giving guidance when no one asked. he only appears to be omniscient, and the others may think he's so smart because he's hundreds of years older than them, but is really just a guy, a middle aged man with a troubled youth which he learned from. his advice is not magically guided and for this reason is fallable, mortal, human. maybe the cliché is also played with in that he's a vampire, not a wizard, sorcerer, or priest, "‘I see.’ The poet sighed. ‘Is Regis a sorcerer?’ ‘No. No, not a sorcerer.’" ... as vampires are typically evil and regis is decidedly a force of good. (on this topic, @wampirzielarz once compared-contrasted gandalf and regis and it was super interesting :))

dandelion is a combination of the Faithful Servant and the Trickster. he's geralt's best friend, and doesn't fight alongside him with sword but his presence is necessary to our hero for moral support, that all makes the first part an obvious assignment... and... sapkowski lists a wide variety of tricksters of various moral alignments, but amongst them are some heroes and some best friends of heroes (and anti-heroes). and asides from being geralt's closest friend, dandelion is, after all, a rascal, who uses words and good looks to get what he wants from people. "a cynic, a lecher, a womanizer and a liar." (also, because i think szarlej also fits this double-definition as well, i won't hesitate to give them to dandelion, as they serve pretty similar functions alongside their respective heroes).

milva is the Good Knight, "always loyal and ready to fight" describes her perfectly, and her 'dark secret' was her pregnancy and plans for abortion. (though, the attribution of lancelot... well, maybe this is why some keen eyes saw a potential in yenva). anyhow, the playfulness with the cliché comes from the fact that she's a woman, which is supposed to be surprising that the hero's strongest ally is a woman. i think the "charismatic" attribute is also supposed to be played with here, as milva is simple and not too well-spoken, only so in her cursing. in other words, she's a peasant woman, and not a born-and-bred nobleman. also, for her gender, she is a play on another trope sapkowski mentions a couple of pages later, but i can't go into it now because it's too funny.

cahir is the Worse Knight, though perhaps in reverse, for all of his associations with Evil was in the past and shed like sports colors when he changed teams. he has no betrayal, "I will never betray you, witcher," all of his ‘betrayal’ was before he was even allied with the hero. but of course, for these sins, he "undergoes catharsis, perishes".

the Damsel in Distress is evidentially angouleme, being "saved from danger on the way and included in the team." the rebuking of the cliché, of course, is that geralt is "genuinely angry, genuinely confused, genuinely embarrassed" when she offers her "gratitude" to him. also, that she is no princess in disguise, just an ordinary girl, though she is confused for the princess they're after (who also happens to be another play on the damsel in distress cliché). and again, like milva, i think angouleme is related to another specifically female character cliché sapkowski calls out; but i'll save it for another post.

ITS THEM ITS THEM ITS THEM ITS THEM

Also a PSA: according to the leaks these guys will be AWAKENED. If you want them, save up your timecards as well as your stargazer cards.

[edit] new update! Apparently one of them will be available through events, and you'll be able to get several copies, not just one! (Though take this info with a pinch of salt)

Snippet #12

No CW, just wholesome

There was something off about [Hero], but [Villain] couldn’t put their finger on it.

[Hero] had always been that genre of shy and pure person that makes people want to squish their cheeks until they were reduced to tears- however, they had somehow become even more squishable over the past few days. [Villain] narrowed their silver eyes as they pulled on the two rosy pieces of flesh and hummed, thinking.

[Hero’s] watery doe-like eyes looked down at them, “mwehhhh?????”

“Shhh. Im thinking.” The world’s most notorious businessman says in their gorgeous low voice. It makes [Hero] squirm.

“Maybe…” [Villain] pulled [Hero] forward toward them until their noses were just shy of touching each other, “ you found yourself a lover?”

[Villain] saw those pools of hazel blink rapidly in panic, those tortured cheeks turning more ruddier by the second and that hitched breath speeding up. They had hit the jackpot.

[Hero] watched, flustered, as a mischievous smile bloomed on that beautiful face. Suddenly the person under them seemed too bright for the world, they even sparkled.

[Villain] couldn’t help themselves from teasing when those eyes left theirs, “oho, so my little birdie has gone and found someone to serenade huh?”

OMGTOOCLOSETOOCLOSETOOCLOSE-

A hand pulled down the avoiding chin. Brown eyes were forced to meet amethyst ones and [Hero] knew the gig was up.

[Villain] chuckled, having read their mind.

“Well my sweet little Angel, aren’t you going to say it out aloud?” They gently hugged the feathery half-beast in front of them.

[Hero] buried their face under their white feathers and shrunk into [Villain’s] arms, whispering with soft embarrassment, “I love you.”

[Villain] gave a soft chuckle,“I love you too my precious jewel.”
