Just made something fun for a new Witcher Prompt Challenge:

The Witcher Wheel

Spin the Witcher Wheel twice (or thrice for a threesome) to get a ship! Then create something for the ship, a drabble, a one-shot, a meme, an incorrect quote, a drawing, a poem ...

If you want me to reblog, please tag @witchermonstermayhem

and add the tag #witcherwheel

(The characters are only from the show/the books, so this is why your fav game character might be missing. But you can easily create your own wheel if you'd like to.)

If you have no idea what to do with the two (or three), spin the

Trope Wheel

Have fun!

tell me about your fave yen relationships (platonic or romantic!)

Honestly this is another one of those questions where my answer is just “all of them” Yennefer has a really unique way of interacting with the people around her and I love those dynamics so much because a lot of it puts a great twist on relationship tropes that we’re all familiar with.

For starters I am and will always be a Yenralt supremacist. They are LITERALLY destined for eachother.

It’s love at first sight, which is a trope I actually religiously hate, but the way it’s written is just really refreshing, because the only one who’s smitten is Geralt’s stupid ass, Yennefer just wanted her damn apple juice. She spends the entirety of their first meeting being either sarcastic or just plain angry, she entertains Geralt for the sake of knowledge and then enchants him to get revenge on the townsfolk who wronged her. And the whole time Geralt is just like “what a woman 😩”

After that they have a really tender on and off yo-yo kind of relationship, which I can’t help but love because I am a traumatized idiot and if I’m not devastated and ruined by the end of it I don’t wan’t it. But yeah they end up agreeing that what binds them is destiny and what they owe each is “nothing less nothing more” and decide to momentarily go their separate ways to avoid hurting eachother further. This is one of the moments where I wish I could quote the book specifically because their whole conversation is much better than I could ever explain it (I first read this book in my native language and I don’t think I can translate it properly as it is)

After that whole thing they ofc slowly come back to eachother and end up re-bonding in a much more genuine and healthy way over their common love of Ciri which!

Yennefers relationship with Ciri is absolutely amazing. Yen spends FOREVER trying to find a means of regaining her fertility because having that choice taken from her is one of the things she has the biggest internal struggle with (again the theme with autonomy, I really love the witcher for this) and at first she’s (at least pretending to be) really upset with having to spend time with her at all as she generally doesn’t think teaching magic is worth her time, but they slowly get to know eachother over the course of it where Yennefer is extremely loving (in her own way) and seems to be genuinely proud of Ciri for her accomplishments.

She eventually comes to love Ciri as a daughter, which some might argue is a bad trope of female characters only having “maternal instinct” as a motivator, but I actually think it’s quite the opposite! Yennefers wish to have a baby is never about having the baby she doesn’t crave maternity, she just wants her choice back. And her bond with Ciri isn’t rushed in any way quite the contrary in fact, she takes her damn sweet time before she takes up ANY kind of “motherly” role whatsoever.

Having Ciri under her wing also lets her learn that all the sacrifice she’s made might finally be worth something as she learns to trust the people around her trough her adopted snotty brat.

I also do like her relationship with dandelion, simply because the two have such a comical relationship of “I hate you so much I’m going to protect you” and that’s just mutual between them. She burnt a man’s face for the dumb bards sake and then immediately belittles him.

Love that for them.

I do also love her interactions with the other sorcerers/magicians because there is some resemblance of a family-like bond to them that she never really found in her biological family, it’s incredibly strained and she spends a hot second arguing with the others over everything and nothing, but it’s there nonetheless.

Geralt of Rivia from the books

[mostrovskaa]

Rotating them in my mind... ( sorry for all the tw stuff, it just fits them :-(( so I put them in a little polish cartoon style piece as retribution)

[loosketches]

couldn't sleep so I made some iterations of my last work.

[onlymagpie]

Geralt and his two loves at Thanedd (Yennefer and Shrimp).

I had to redraw Geralt so many times.. and in the end his outfit turned out so much simpler than Yen's....

I just think it would be cute if they had matching starry looks!!

EDIT: Please don't tag as witcher netflix thank you ✌️

Season 3 Tissaia: No... It can't be... He couldn't trick me, I love him! I love Vilgefortz with my whole heart!

Season 2 Tiasaia: W-what? He doesn't love me at all? It is all just a game?

Season 1 Tiasaia: Wait, I do drugs or what is going on here-

This!!!!! The male characters are sexualized to the same extensive amount as the female characters, and truth be told the male characters are the ones that are most likely to be one dimensional, I feel like even when we’re introduced to one off characters the women always have such clear motives that are in some way moving or interesting that often have absolutely NOTHING to do with how sexy and pretty they are.

Not even yennefer who has a very stereotypical “woman wants baby” storyline is one dimensional, because as I’ve said a million times she doesn’t even give a good god damn about the baby, she just wants the choice to have one. The witcher IS written by a man but it’s not awful, it’s not exactly perfect either, but believe me when I say, all the characters have an equally awful time regardless of gender

In the witcher EVERYONE suffers EQUALLY

idk I’ve never disagreed with the ‘oh god. the witcher was very clearly written by a man’ statement cause literally yes. it’s so written by a man.

but immediately translating this to: ‘therefore, the witcher is a misogynistic text that needs to be fundamentally altered in order for its female characters to receive true dimensionality’ has always felt out of touch. these women are not flat and they’re not solely props or sexual objects. Their complex personalities, motivations and relationship dynamics (which each other) are driving the narrative and you really don’t need to do a close reading to come away with that realization. ‘written by a man’ disease is not terminal, Ciri’s life expectancy rises by the day

Dandelion giving himself these fuckass crazy stats in his TTRPG book compared to his original character sheet in the core rulebook is the best summary one could ever get of his character
