4/3

So besides the usual state testing, today was dull. The only parts that made it better were my friends making my laugh until I couldn’t breathe. Today’s mischief was throwing ice at each other. I know we’re so mature.

SODARUSH: One of Food Trucks I stopped by

So it’s been a couple a solid month or two since I’ve been getting back into doing photography. Now I’m really trying to network myself being a freelance photographer better. When I heard there was a festival going on 10 minutes away from me.  I did some research, bought my ticket and came to the event with a goal and I knew what I came to the event for. If you haven’t lived in Phoenix or the west valley they have a event called “Arizona’s Balloon Classic” they have two events that go on both sides of the city, Eastside and WestSide(I attended Goodyears 7th Annual Balloon Classic. It was my first event went by myself without friends, family not even my boyfriend came. It was quite a last minute decision to make. I did some last minute research on what to look forward too. I brought my Dslr, 30mm prime lens(Which I only used and I didnt mean to do that),200mm zoom lens and my trusty tripod. 

I expected to see a lot of photographers...I was right there were TONS. I noticed they all hundled in the same area as me.  I also made sure that I would be at the event from open to close.  I did exactly that, running, crouching, weird angles. It was a fun experience it did make me miss my boyfriend he’s my best friend before anything.  He would have enjoyed it, he hasn’t even seen this very popular event. They said you could buy tickets there...I was close to doing that but instead I bought mine online, that saved me a whole bunch of time.  SO I could get a good amount time dedicated to talking to food trucks, local businesses. I was pretty much just trying to get my name out there. Like Ive been trying my best too. I just wish next time I bring business cards ready at hand. For these last couple months I’ve been focusing on refining my style, look and I completely redone my site. On top of that been pushing myself socially to get shoots going to rank up more experience.

It's good to see a male fantasy hero whose quest is to learn to be a dad.

hell yea it is it’s what makes the witcher so addictive. the goals and themes are family and friendship... that’s all

What some batty traits (physical, biological and such) that Regis (and other higher vampires) can have in human form (and monster form too). Give us all the HC!!

okay so for this we need to call to the spotlight the only two vampires in the books

preeeetty different individuals. but as far as my headcanons go, higher vampires’ Vampire Traits really fade as they get better at mimicry and learn to disguise themselves better (if they so choose… usually with age, but that’s usually)

the most apparent change with this is switching from telepathic speech to speech spoken aloud, and the adoption of common or elder speech  (usually common since they can blend in easier with humans, and elf blood tastes like juniper berries :P) instead of vampiric speech

another apparent change is in movement. vampires tend to move very quickly and rigidly, like birds, or bats. they don’t really adopt ‘human’ movements unless they try to.

let’s start off the list of eventual changes with some immediately recognizable physical traits, comparing and contrasting between our two characters here:

eyes: quite a difference. the large round eyes of younger vampires are strikingly inhuman (especially at night, as all vampire eyes reflect light). they also do not use their eyes in the majority of facial expressions, they are pretty static and unchanging except for when they blink, which makes their appearance more unsettlingly inhuman. contrast with regis’s eyes in the year 1268 which just radiate kindness and safety. id go to sleep with this gaze even if he didnt hypnotize me. sleepytime tea but its just a kind glance.

nose: YES young vampires have little pushed-up bat noses. but this fades pretty quickly, within about half a century or less (unless their noses are… pushed-up in their human form as well).

ears: younger vampires’ ears are shaped like bat ears, in the same positioning as human ears. with age, they transform into a regular human shape, but keep the ridges.

teeth: depends really on how addicted they are to blood, not so much how much they have learned to blend in with humans, but here you go:

hands: they can get really long nails if they don’t file them down. how this works when their bodies are supposed to regenerate everything, i don’t know

as you can see, regis looks more “human” or “normal” than vereena does, and that’s because he’s had a couple more centuries to learn how humans look, speak, and act individually and with one another. he’s still learning of course, but everyone is a work in progress. these adaptations and mimicry will only take place if the vampire in question associates themselves with humans and makes an effort to learn so they can blend in. if they don’t give a shit and would rather just live on the outskirts or with other vampires then they can look more vampiric/inhuman for a long time. vereena and regis are kind of two opposites on the “would talk to a human” spectrum so. expect vampires to have really any combination of these traits. and like regis didn’t look like he does now a couple of centuries ago.

while doing this i was like “this makes regis seem very cozy and normal” but then i came to the question of, is it creepier to look inhuman, or to learn slowly over hundreds of years how humans look act and think to appear human but never actually be human, and what you see in regis is solely an imitation of all of the thousands of humans he’s observed over the years and it’s not really his true form. basically vampires ARE shapeshifters because they move between their human and bat forms but they also move between states of humanoid and it’s really based on what they learn and can summarize from humans.

i think if vampires who have adapted lose concentration on their form (i.e., they’re extremely agitated, or they’re drunk) they can ‘revert’ back to what they look like in a humanoid form without the modifications they’ve made… like at stygga i headcanon that regis’s eyes kind of got round and extremely dark, his teeth were much sharper, because he just lost it for some hot seconds there

I had the weirdest fcking dream. I was at Regis and Geralt's house that they were sharing. They decided to make me pasta. They tried to impress me by pouring the boiling water on Regis' hands. He was really tall and lanky, and slouching a bit. Weird.

this sounds in character bc 1. geregis domesticity. 2a. regis can make pasta 2b. the boiling water thing is legit because he has that power and also boiling things is a surefire way to sanitize them, hes a doctor, whatever, they kind of use alcohol to sanitize his hands in baptism of fire so i mean its kinda canon 3. thats an accurate description of regis’s body type

i hope the pasta was good gfhjdkls

[gayregis]

(Regis gets stabbed) Regis : Rude. Geralt : That's fair. Milva : Not again. Angoulême : Can I keep the knife ?

YES... in character humor... that reminds me of the “milva teaching angouleme archery and angouleme accidentally sends an arrow at regis” mini plotline... i really need to write/draw that at some point

[uppik]

OMG MY SON ; -; So soft, so pure. I love it!!

My part of the art trade! I don’t want summer to be over yet, so I drew @uppik ‘s precious OC with a flower crown. He’s such a soft boy.Uppik, I hope you like it!

[gayregis]

Help I can't stop thinking about the hansa being a DnD party.

dandelion, milva, regis, cahir simultaneously: “i cast vicious mockery on geralt”

[gayregis]

I've been watching videos about bats being rescued and cared for, and sorry, but a giant bat!Regis will forever be cute to me now. Bats are adorable I don't make the rules.

he’s basically just still like himself in his regular humanoid form:

because on one hand he’s soft and can go “owo” ... and on the other hand,

regis had a little too much fun at stygga if you ask me i mean i dont have the official translation with me rn bc im not home but

but even when he goes stupid goes crazy its ok because he’s fighting on the right side <:)

[gayregis]

Okay, so Regis' voice in BaW is super cute, I really like it, a benevolent elderly gentleman nerd... But holy shit his Polish voice *_*... HUNF!

hjfdgshgdsfgjks its so deep they didn’t need to do this it was SO unnecessary. also same actor as polish thanos … but tbh the polish voices are mostly better imho especially geralt’s and dandelion’s... like geralt is not batman im sorry doug cockle...

i unfortunately prefer the english audiobook regis bc the narrator’s voices for all of them grew on me... unfortunately. 

it’s really a tie between that and the english tw3 regis VA for me. on one hand audiobook regis sounds like he makes tea roleplay ambiance asmr videos and on the other the english tw3 va sounds like he would read you his dissertation on essential oils. 

i like how the audiobook narration really makes him sound nervous and yes, cowardly at some points:

when he first joins the company and finds out that geralt is a witcher (”a... witcher? a monster slayer... my, my. very interesting.”)

when he confesses to geralt and milva that he is a coward

and also when there’s vocal directions like “regis said softly/gently” the narrator really does his best to abide by that ... when he comforts milva (”calm down, archeress. there you go, drink that.”) and also when he’s being asked abt his background in the beginning of baptism of fire... like there’s just such a tone change between the pre- and post- reveal

BUT ALSO we get fun stuff like “regis snapped” “the vampire said frigidly” “the vampire hissed, smiling gruesomely” and its like [earthquake.gif] ....... 

regis asking geralt how high he would place the bounty for him, the narrator took some artistic liberty imho and said the line in this very demanding tone (“HOW MUCH?”)

when he’s scolding geralt about suspecting cahir of treachery (“ANYWAY”)

drunkenness (“I FeEl sUcH StReNgTh iNsIdE Me i cOuLd pRoBaBlY LaY WaStE To tHiS EnTiRe cAsTlE”)

the audiobook narration gives regis such a VASTNESS of emotion, i feel like tw3 regis is just like ehhhhh in comparison bc... well for starters its not a fair fight, he has much less dialogue. but he just has ONE mood, and that is Sad, Rueful, and Distressed. and sometimes patronizing scolding of geralt and syanna

they are kind of tied though in the fact that they do both have a good in character tone for scolding geralt in a patronizing voice (”i’m not trying to be a mentor, i’m trying to be rational” VS “a bit more finesse, i implore you”) and also adapt that Academic Lecturing tone...... unfortunately there is no space to skip dialogue in the books
