Doodling the main Five in their younger years alongside their mentor figures.

For Tina, since she was raised by composers and musicians, Vivaldi took it upon himself to be her father figure, always ensuring she was cared for, even if it meant giving her that nasty cough syrup she never liked. That's why Tina's favorite instrument was the violin. Vivaldi didn't just keep Tina in order, he also kept the house in order, Tina lived with many composers, and Vivaldi became the head of the house. 🙂

For Groger, since he was raised by historical figures, his father figure was King George III, and they were very close- Groger saw King George III as a big brother. Their favorite activity was catching butterflies. This is how Groger grew to be a monarchist and one who respected authority. King George was always by Groger's side, teaching him to be strong and gentle, but also be direct when necessary... like a king! 😊

Stella was raised by famous artists of time, and her father figure was Michelangelo, she saw him as a father- and he saw her as a child he never had. The two of them would work on pieces together, though Michelangelo wasn't very fond of young Stella's Macaroni art. 😑

Edvard was raised by scientists of our time, two of them became his mentor figures, they were rivals- trying to see who'd raised him better. Issac Newton and Albert Einstein trying to see who'd make him a batter genius 🤣.

Lastly is Quinn, in his prototype years, he would hang around Cavalcade who was his mentor! The two would always train together (though Quinn knew Cavalcade was dying) they were inseparable. Cavalcade was his big brother, and Lasvender (Quinn's creator) was his father. Quinn's personality is a mixture of his own, Lasvenders', and Cavalcade's... Making him a mixed bag of unpredictability.🤗

Hope you enjoyed my doodles and lore!

Disclaimer: This choice does not appear in the keep, but is a decision made in the game and is mentioned in the epilogue.

Urn of Sacred Ashes Polls

Dragon Age Origins Polls

See quest and choice descriptions from Dragon Age Wiki/Keep below

Brother Ferdinand Genitivi is a Chantry scholar with a prolific body of published academic chronicles, with one particular study on the Urn of Andraste. 

The Warden meets him at the Haven Chantry where he is held hostage by the local inhabitants. Once rescued, he insists on traveling with them to the mountains and thence onto Andraste's tomb, although he can be sent back to his home in Denerim. 

Refused to take him with you [returns to Denerim]

If Genitivi agreed to return to Denerim then he will show you how to use the Medallion to open the Temple door.

If Brother Genitivi is told to return to Denerim before the Warden explores the temple

“Rumors that the Urn of Sacred Ashes had been found, and that it was used to heal Arl Eamon of his poisoning, circulated in Ferelden in the months following the darkspawn defeat... slowly, at first, and then with growing frequency as the grand cleric failed to deny them.”

If Brother Genitivi was allowed to accompany the Warden:

As the party returns to the entrance of the Ruined Temple, Brother Genitivi will be extremely excited about the news, and ready to share them with the entire world. Alistair, if present, will express concern that there would not be enough ashes to go around if lots of pilgrims were to arrive.

2. Allowed him to come, but killed him to keep the Urn's location safe

There is no way to dissuade Genitivi from spreading the word except to kill him. There is no actual battle, just a cutscene of the Warden killing Genitivi. Genitivi is a well traveled and learned scholar who has written many of the books (excerpts of them are found in the form of codex entries), so the homicide will trigger some reactions among the companions

If Brother Genitivi does not return to Denerim [killed]

“Rumors that the Urn of Sacred Ashes had been found, and that it was used to heal Arl Eamon of his poisoning, circulated in Ferelden in the months following the darkspawn defeat... slowly, at first, and then with growing frequency as the grand cleric failed to deny them.”

3. Allowed him to come and let him live, knowing he would reveal the Urn's location

Brother Genitivi returns to Denerim

“News that the Urn of Sacred Ashes had been found in Ferelden did not spread outside the Chantry until Brother Genitivi made an announcement several months after the defeat of the darkspawn. The manuscript detailing his research and his experience with Andraste's cult drew huge interest among scholars throughout Thedas.”

If the ashes are not defiled (no deal was made with Kolgrim):

If the High dragon is dead

“Some years later, the Chantry announced that the resting place of Andraste's Ashes had indeed been found. A ripple of excitement spread among the pious people of Thedas, with many undertaking pilgrimages to see the Ashes or partake of their healing powers.”

If the High dragon is not dead

“Some years later, the Chantry announced that the resting place of Andraste's Ashes had indeed been found. They were located, however, in ruins that were also the lair of a high dragon, thus proving too dangerous to approach. Many made demands to secure the Ashes so that followers could undertake pilgrimages to partake of their healing powers.”

“Following numerous failed attempts to deal with the dragon, the beast finally flew off to find another haven... but leaving the mountaintop sanctum in ruins. An excavation found no traces of the Urn.”

“People began to doubt that the Ashes had ever been found, while others claimed that a cult of Andraste's followers stole them from the temple. Still others say that the Maker Himself removed the Urn, deeming mankind unworthy of it. For now, what happened to the Urn is simply unknown...”

If the ashes are defiled (a deal was made with Kolgrim):

When the next snows began to fall, the high dragon of the temple made its first appearance in the skies over Ferelden. As it laid waste to the countryside in its rampage, rumors began to circulate of a strange cult that believed this was Andraste returned. Efforts to locate the dragon's lair failed, and no connection was made to the Urn of Sacred Ashes, while the cult rapidly gained converts

Attempts to verify Brother Genitivi's claims, however, proved impossible. Agents of the Chantry sent into the mountains found little more than empty ruins. There were no cultists, and more importantly, no Sacred Ashes. Several years later, Genitivi's research was declared fiction and his work discredited. He killed himself not long afterwards.

PINNED POST !!! (as I revamp this blog for the umpteenth time)

hello and welcome! this is an independent roleplay blog for geralt of rivia from The Witcher series (also lovingly referred to as Catdad🐱). primarily book/game canon and extremely headcanon-based (as i'm too lazy tired to keep up with the ✨lore✨)

includes verses for other fandoms such as dragon age, skyrim, genshin impact, botw/totk, etc.

written by sammy (she/her, 25+)

rules below cut for everyone's ease! 😊

RULES

low/sporadic activity.

selective and private, which means I will only roleplay with mutuals. This goes for ask box memes, starter calls, etc.

very crossover friendly. Honestly, I actually rather prefer writing crossovers, as I find it more fun to develop relationships with characters Geralt would otherwise never meet. Of course I'll write with Witcher characters, too, but just to throw that out there for the other fandoms; you're exceptionally welcomed here!

multi-ship.

I will NOT roleplay smut on tumblr. Anything leading up to it is fine and I'm 100% down for flirting and the like, but any ships on this blog will be naught but "fade to black" in those situations. Thank you for understanding. 😊

Quick Guide to the Muse

Geralt is a witcher, or a monster hunter for hire. He fulfills contracts that earn him coin.

His eyes, gold and cat-like, are what people recognize and what mark him as a witcher along with the wolf head medallion around his neck.

He carries two swords on his back—one made of silver, the other of iron. It is believed that the former is for monsters and the latter for humans, but a myth, as iron too is lethal to particular breeds.

Due to mutations undergone in witcher training, he has superhuman abilities—heightened senses of all kinds—in addition to the use of certain magic.

As a witcher, he has a bad reputation. Witchers aren’t regarded highly. This goes for all verses; in most cases he is considered a mutant, abomination, freak, etc.

Chris Chan has got to be one of the most documented people in the internet. I can't imagine having almost every detail of my life for the whole world to see even though I haven't done horrible things like Chris has

god I know right. the idea of everything being that documented... it's honestly eerie as hell. no matter what Chris Chan does or tries, it's all being watched and documented and analysed and man. to think she could have avoided all this if she had just unplugged the internet in like, 2007.

right now I'm still in the early stages, like 17 videos in or so. at the moment I just feel desperately sorry for her. I'm not sure what fucked up shit she might do going forward, and of course I know about the incest charges which is yikes all on its own, but at the moment I can't help but feel desperately sorry for her. like, it's funny in a car crash way, but it's also really not funny at all. right now she's just this autistic young adult living with two abusive parents, who's being harassed by dozens of people online. because of her autism she's incapable of being able to identify trolls until it's far too late, and then more trolls befriend her and she falls for the exact same tricks again because she's inherently too trusting and can't tell when people are being sarcastic or when they're actually ridiculing her. at the moment her closest friend is a girl named Kacey, who's trying to give Chris "advice" to better her life, and on the surface it's all solid advice -- get a job, exercise more, eat healthier, etc -- but it's all designed to set Chris up for more ridicule, and no matter what progress Chris reports, Kacey twists it and uses it to ridicule her and trash her confidence. earlier on I listened to a phone call recording where Chris's mother was caught berating Chris and emotionally manipulating her in the background, and when Chris got back on the line to Kacey, Kacey took Chris's mother's side and started also berating Chris for the same thing. it's honestly so fucked up -- like underneath all the inherent hilarity that comes from a situation so fucking weird, it's impossible to ignore the fact that this is an account of the long-term emotional abuse of a deeply vulnerable adult. whatever Chris might have done in the future, I firmly believe that there's a strong case to be made for the fact she was driven to this point. the constant trolling and the fact that she cannot trust anybody in her life to be who they say they are has created a deep rift between Chris and reality, and I wouldn't be surprised if she's been driven to honest to god clinical psychosis because of all the stress and torment.

if it had just been brief -- a spate of the earlier trolling at the beginning, where they teased her a bit about Sonichu and convinced her she was in a chat with Billy Mays or whatever, that would have been fine. everyone was getting trolled like that back in the day. but at some point it veered away from trolling and went into literal torture. like, I'm going to go under the cut here because this got suddenly serious on an ask that's pretty casual (sorry about that), but it's been bothering me since I saw it and I have to mention it now. sincere warning for anyone reading my Chris Chan documentary chronicles just for the lighter parts, because in my mind what I'm about to discuss is literal, actual torture of a disabled person.

the other day I watched the video where the trolls hacked into Chris's PlayStation account, which had a lot of games and progress she was obviously proud of. being autistic, she's obviously much more attached than these trolls can appreciate -- video games are clearly one of her special interests, and she understandably gets very distressed when the trolls threaten to sell the account. there's a whole bunch of convoluted stuff that happens, but the main event is that they use the leverage of the account to get Chris into doing shit to "win" it back. they end up making her cut her Sonichu medallion (a comfort item that she wears constantly) into four pieces, and stick the pieces up her ass. on video.

the video isn't shown on YouTube, obviously, but the audio is. in it, the trolls can be heard urging her on, insisting she stick it properly up there ("until I can't see it anymore", is how one of them put it). also captured on the audio is Chris, making sounds of pain and also apparently crying, which she is then ridiculed for.

I mean. I was genuinely disturbed by this, as I'm sure most people with even a smidgen of a conscience would be. this is sexual abuse. this is torture. this is not trolling, this is not doing something "for the lulz". this is a small group of genuine psychopaths banding together long after the regular trolling is done, to torture a person who is incapable of defending herself and who has no responsible adult in her life to protect her from people like this. this shit, when compared to legitimate harmless trolling like Liquid Chris, who winds Chris up but never actively harms her (at least to what I've seen so far) and is so ridiculous that everybody can see through it (even Chris herself, who knows that Liquid Chris is a faker and isn't being deceived by Liquid Chris in any way), is night and day. Liquid Chris is genuine trolling, the kind that aims to get you mad and then goes no further. what these other people are doing is abuse and torture. they're clearly a core group of individuals who realised they had an easy target and decided to take advantage of it, and they're all honest to god sociopaths. they should face charges for this shit.

I apologise for getting serious on this post, but I need to be honest here. as much as I'm enjoying the drama and the more ridiculous and admittedly hilarious bits of this story, between all the tamer pieces of legitimate trolling is a serious case of ableism. vulnerable adults like Chris are abused like this every day, and the fact that this can be so well-documented online and still nobody did anything to help her is absolutely astounding. because Chris is "cringe", everybody seemed to collectively decide that she deserved this treatment, when really at the end of the day she began as an autistic teenager who was super passionate about her OC and wanted to upload comics about him online. like. that was her only crime, and it ended like this.

just... god damn.

Lore dump time!!!! Oracles... What are Oracles Within the Locket Mythology/Storiverse, Oracles are machine like yet organic cosmic beings, that live within the stars, they protect the stars and keep them burning brightly.

They were created by Locket for that purpose! Oracles are close knit, and aren't eager to meet other species (Authors Note: Think of less intense Gravitals from All Tomorrows.) They have hierarchies, Magenta Oracles are of the highest status, green Oracles are their second in commanda (they NEVER really take a human form.), Red Oracles are authorial but not that powerful, Blue Oracles are of lower status. All Oracles have white skin with colored lines and glowing pupils in their eyes in their machine-like forms, all their human forms are of pale skinned males with brunette hair of differing shades with eyes matching their like and eye color in their base forms. They can take other forms thanks to some form of shapeshifting. They possess laser vision, and use that often...

There are no female Oracles, and they reproduce like amoebas, splitting apart and forming another entity. They can live for a long amount of time, and withstand extreme environments (obviously) of high temperatures ranging in the tens of thousands, they can survive without oxygen, they resist the crushing weight of black holes... As well as other hazards of space, but due to being in extreme temperatures most of the time, they do not like cold weather at all! Another thing, Oracles are kind of... Warmongers. They love to fight, to battle, and view injuries or deaths resulting from war as rewarding. Art wise, they were based on the body type of Mr. Sys (especially Symon.) Now more about Symon.

Symon is an Oracle, he's in hiding amongst humans after a battle with an ethereal went haywire and he ended up getting hurt pretty badly, to the point where he's blind in one eye... Symon's power has been diluted over time as he hasn't used his powers for a while. He has different views than most Oracles as he's been around humans for so long.

He's also friends with Quinn, as per request from Lasvender, Symon was supposed to keep maintenance on Quinn until he woke up from his nearly half a century long nap. Oracles were going to be ethereal, but I decided against it, so they are NOT Ethereals, ethereals are supernatural- Oracles are NOT.

That's the lore dump of Oracles and Symon and how Symon ties into the Storiverse and Medallion Chronichles all in a nutshell!

Picture of the Gojō Bridge from the Chronicle of Yoshitsune, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, 1881, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Japanese and Korean Art

three separate sheets; man at left with legs wide apart, holding a wooden staff with both hands; man wears black armor with red and white trim, and garment with red ground and multicolored floral medallions with straw sandals; white cloth beneath man's PR foot; jumping woman at right with legs drawn up, wearing garments with floral designs on red and green ground, and zori sandals with black platform soles and brown, yellow and purple striped socks; figures on wooden bridge; moon in sky between figures; green mountains in background It is extremely rare that preparatory drawings for woodblock prints survive, since the final versions were pasted on the key blocks to guide the carving of the black lines and were thus usually destroyed during the production process. Such drawings were more detailed and exact than the initial sketches and therefore offered a better representation of the final print. The outlines were the most important part, and some repetitive areas were only indicated but not fully executed—the wooden boards of the bridge or patterns of textile, for example. These drawings could also include coloring instructions. The spacing was not yet finalized in this drawing, since in the finished print the image is spread over three sheets instead of two. Size: 14 1/4 × 9 1/2 in. (36.2 × 24.13 cm) (sheet, each, approx., vertical ōban triptych) Medium: Woodblock print (nishiki-e); ink and color on paper

!!!!Spoilers!!!! Am on mobile so I can't do a read more thing.

Giulia's dad is cool and awesome because he was born with a missing arm. Funny cat.

I hate Alberto's dad. (I knew he was gone when Alberto said he let him to whatever.)

Luca's grandma is so chill. And those two grannies that hit them at the beginning were sea monsters too?! Cool!

I thought the trio were going to switch roles. Alberto does biking, Giulia does the eating, and Luca would swim. I thought that before Luca and Alberto fought though (I saw that coming) and the team split.

Glad the lackeys got their revenge. Deserved. Did he even get that Vespa with the prize money or did his daddy buy it for him?

Them calling stars and the moon fishes was super cute. Makes me want to call them that.

I was under the impression Alberto and Luca were brothers. Was really surprised when they weren't.

Question for systems, sorry if this is inconsiderate or ignorant, or some parts of this are.

When one of your headmates talks to you while you're fronting does it sound like a whisper or is it as clear and loud as another person talking in the outside (?) world?

And does it sound like someone came up behind you and said something or someone to the side of you or does it sound like it comes from inside (?) your head?

AU idea: Jaskier is secretly a Witcher. BUT he has a mage friend that's able to give him the appearance of a child. Looking like a child, but really not, he drops himself off at every Witcher school and acts like an unwanted child. (Before the sacking of them. Making him older than Geralt.) The Witchers take him and he learns their fighting techniques. He also eventually gets that Witcher school's medallion. So he knows everything. He's a myth; A Witcher of all trades. He classes himself as a new breed, a different class, a better Witcher. So he makes his own medallion, keeping the others as well (not melting them or anything) because they do mean something to him.

Other Witchers schools hate him. I think the reason is obvious. So he has quite a few bounties on him. Preferably dead. So he poses, and enjoys being Jaskier the Bard. He has no qualms about switching between the two. He's a damn good and proud Witcher.

Medallion (roundel) showing the arms of Henry VII from Chronicle: Descent of the Kings of England from Adam (1533-34) (Lambeth Palace Library MS 19 f52).

Chronicle showing the descent of the kings of England from Adam, written after the marriage of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn in January 1533 and before the death of Pope Clement VII in September 1534. Medallions, or roundels, throughout the text show biblical events, the arms of English kings, genealogies, the succession of Popes and Emperors. The detail highlights Henry VII and Elizabeth of York’s offspring: Arthur, Margaret, Edmund, Katherine and Mary. Henry VIII is depicted in the next roundel.
