Embarrassing Personal Ask Game

i was tagged by @tigerlyla-of-metinna! original post here, tyty for gifting me the curb corner on which i stand with a megaphone to proselytise to the masses about my crushes<3

celebrity crush: Sigourney Weaver

yes yes, this blog description is loud & proud abt my Peter Capaldi addiction. but many years before 12th Doctor, a dishevelled Sigourney Weaver battling aliens awakened smth and i haven't been able to escape her since. her hair, her voice, her fuckin badassery- goddam i've rewatched the Alien Quadrilogy and Ghostbusters a stupid amount of times

soprettyohmygod

2. video game crush: Medivh

before bg3's Gale of Waterdeep and Merlyn from The Once and Future King, i had Medivh of Karazhan, the Hot Wizard Sorcerer in My Area to ponder my orb🧙����. while my first encounters w him were in Warcraft 3 and WoW, his portrayal in the tie-in novel The Last Guardian ultimately stole my heart. unlike in the games, he actually read like a person with Feelings and Goals? enigmatic, unhinged, actually possessed, surprisingly goofy and relatable. he made me laugh then he made me cry. why didn't they let Khadgar hug him during their reunion in Legion. why

also golden: Medivh throwing shade @ Dalaran city for lining their aqueducts with lead? Merlyn whinging abt not having 'electric light and company’s water' in essentially medieval Britain? my beloved sassy spellshites, ahead of their times 👌👌

HE CAN ALSO BECOME BIRB

WHATS NOT TO LIKE

3. current crush: Astarion

nothing special here, just another casualty to the black hole of attraction that is bg3 Astarion Ancunín. the intrigue of his personal questline def played a part in captivating me, the catalyst for speedrunning my 1st playthrough to discover his fate in the epilogue.

that said, idk what it is about his face. it's like his character designer decided to distil beauty into tangible substance. he's MSG transmuted into humanoid form. idk what it is but i'm eating it up. thankyou Stephanie Chafe for this glorious meal 🙏

i tag: anyone who sees this and is so inclined to invite themselves to proselytise alongside, all are welcome <3

straight to jail

Some unflattering (cursed) photos of Emhyr

Many thanks to @eycsnow666 for doing these shots (Strenger-Emhyr swap), some of which I edited in photoshop. There are more here but my heart -and my ribs- could only handle so much hilarity!

I'm gonna grab my coat and to to jail now...

The Emperor does love roses...

A gift for @tigerlyla-of-metinna.

Emhyr dancing with Sarah.

[ladymarinamart]

tigerlyla-of-metinna hypocrite again

About the fact that I asked her for forgiveness, she doesn't care. After all, it's more important for her to expose me as an evil harraswoman (after all, you can't talk about nasty VernonCiri in the fandom) so that she looks white and innocent herself.

The only spam is my cirvran screenshots for her (tigerlyla, don't worry, I deleted this fucking spam from my blog too)

I’m sure that even without your grudge against me, you still wouldn’t have included VernonCiri in the Valentine’s Day Reblog, because he was always an extra ship for you.

Let me remind you that she does not need peace and reconciliation with me. She stupidly only wants to destroy a competitive ship.

[valandhirwriter]

@tigerlyla-of-metinna Not boring at all. I do have an OC for Emhyr too, though I also ship him with Eskel, so I actually find your OC quite interessting. Also your other perspectives of Emhyr, on who he is, and how you see him are interesting. Nothing plain here, and certainly not boring. So no hiding please!

SEND ME A CHARACTER AND I’LL DO THIS;

Sexuality Headcanon: Gender Headcanon: A ship I have with said character: A BROTP I have with said character: A NOTP I have with said character: A random headcanon: General Opinion over said character:

Cozy Up with: Raphael

[Autumn Photography by: coldoctober]

[Raphael Photography by: @tigerlyla-of-metinna]

Author's Note:

Most people wouldn't consider Raphael to be... well... "cuddly." But the cambion has his moments!

You shivered, still feeling the icy grips of death shooting through your veins as your body recovered from blood loss. You blinked, your sight fuzzy and swimming, and glanced around. Deep maroons and mahogany wood surrounded you. You were in a bed. The plush comforter had nearly fully enveloped you, and it would be difficult to move. Your muscles felt sore and stiff, and the weakness in your limbs was staggering. ‘What happened to me?’

“Ah, you've awakened at last.”

You knew that voice. Panic gripped you. Raphael. Had you died? Were you here to pay your eternal debt? What was he planning to do with you? You wriggled in the bed, moving so little that it caused your panic to rise and your heart hammered in your chest. 

“Come now, Little Mouse, your body has not healed well enough to be thrashing about.” There was a tone of amusement to his rich, deep voice; he had you right where he wanted you. 

“I-Is it time? Did I fail?” You stuttered quietly, your body slowly succumbing to your fate and relaxing back into the soft mattress. 

“No. You have not failed yet.” The devil replied, walking to the side of the bed so that you could see his face. What you saw sent your thoughts spiraling wildly in confusion. He was in his human form, his hands clasped behind his back, and his face void of malice. He smirked at you, but it held no anger. 

“I… I don't understand,” you said, watching his expression shift to one of bored indifference. 

“Your companions were foolish enough to leave your scrolls in camp. You were dying, and I could not have my favorite client perish before our deal had been completed. I returned you to my House of Hope and remedied the matter. You now rest in my Boudoir.” 

You blinked. He saved you? Gods, he really did want that crown. A bolt of icy cold ran through you all of a sudden, and you shivered violently, your teeth chattering with the sudden impact. “T-Thank you,” you muttered, curling into yourself to attempt to get warm. 

“Fulfilling our deal is the only thanks I require, Mouse,” he replied, crossing his arms. You nodded, shivering again, and he let out an exasperated breath. “Mortals are so fragile,” he scoffed. You caught a glimpse of light in your peripheral vision and let your head flop back to the side to look at him. He had shed his human skin and was now in devil form. He stood at least three feet taller and red, leathery skin stretched over protruding veins, with massive bat-like wings dwarfing even his large frame. 

He waltzed out of your vision, but moments later, you felt a dip in the bed on your other side. Your immediate reaction was to try to escape again, and you tried to wrench your body up and away from the devil, but with a single hand, he pushed you back down with ease. “Do try not to undo all of the effort I made in patching your feeble form back together,” he chided with some obvious annoyance, and you went limp immediately, thinking it better to let him do what he wants than to anger him in your current state. 

He huffed in approval and pulled you back towards him. Only then did you realize how warm he was. Your cold body shuddered at the searing contact, and you let out an unintentional sigh. “Yes, that is the idea, Mouse.” He was amused again. You heard the lilt in his voice. Suddenly, a leathery wing covered you and enveloped you in warmth. His strong arm wrapped around your stomach, and he tugged you even closer, your chest meeting his. You laid your palms against him without thinking and hummed as the feeling began to return to your fingertips. You felt yourself dip into relaxation, all the soreness slowly leaving your muscles. 

“Sleep,” the devil commanded quietly. “You will feel renewed when you wake.” 

You nodded, too groggy to make any kind of protest, and nuzzled closer to the heat of the devil's skin. Belatedly, you noticed the smell of sulfur, subtly eclipsed by the alluring scent of cherries, sinking into you as you drifted into a peaceful, comfortable rest.

I literally squeaked when I accidentally tapped my home screen three times and got almost life sized Emhyr. :')

The original picture (by @tigerlyla-of-metinna ) is much smaller. I'm going to do it on purpose from now on, though.

[valandhirwriter]

Post the names of all the files in your wip folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it.

Now, that sounds like an interesting game. :) Point is: you got to a person with a looong list of WIP Files. And a lot of my "master " WIP Files look likes this:

So I decided to use the Master file names wherever possible. Here's the current list:

Modern AU The Kite Fangs and Falsehoods Blades 2 The curse of Novigrad Zerrikania - The Dragon Call of the Blood Holdup Midsummer Carriage Shadow of change Shards The longest road The time of the wolf Valdo War without end The Wolf and the Hawk King of the Wolves or: how I learned to stop kvetching and love the Barbarians Midsummer's ghost Scars The Survivors Oubliette Arena The silent trap The Woe of Vattier de Rideaux Shadows of Spring Cintra Prologue: The Fall Bath 2 The world as we knew it Wasteland Warrior

There might be a few missing, I am notoriously chaotic with file keeping.

So: everyone who likes to ask, or get a snippet - here you go!

Tagging: @tigerlyla-of-metinna, @regis-favorite-raven, @bittersweetbark, @laurikarauchscat @she-who-drank-vodka-with-cats, @andordean, @ginstermoff, @do-androids-dream-ao3acc, to post their lists in turn, and send asks for snippets from the other's lists in turn. Everyone who wants to participate is welcome!

Ask game!

Which actors/actresses would you headcast as your (games/books) blorbos? I know about Emhyr, so maybe Morvran and Sarah?

Ehem... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Sorry! Thanks @bittersweetbark for sending me an ask. I do have my fan cast for Emhyr, Morvran and Sarah! I will include images @alphagravy gave me.

For Emhyr, the handsome Lee Pace. Not a stretch. He already played an emperor.

For Morvran Voorhis, I cannot think of anyone else beside his voice actor Geoffrey Breton. I mean, he already has the accent! Just give him the hair and that bored look!

And my OC Sarah, I believe Jennifer Connelly already personified her when she was in the movie The Rocketeer. Give Jennifer a youth potion and we have Sarah!

Hope you like my choices!

[laurikarauchscat]

You didn't know what tragedies people were bearing in their hearts but you dared to laugh at them and their stories. You are garbage, can't be called human

So, this was very clearly pulled right out of her ass, but I have noticed something from this clown in particular that I am burning to point out.

Every. Goddamn. Time. Someone in this fandom creates an OC character, especially one with ties to Nilfgaard or Toussaint, they get accusations of "stealing" in their inbox. It does not matter if they are pro or anti Nilfgaard. In fact, the funniest examples I've found of her righteous fury have been on anti Nilfgaard accounts (like bitch - where would these people have seen your work??? Why would they want to steal it?? What is you doing 🤣)

She literally bullies other people for the art they create, then moans and bitches at me for pointing out the extent of her bullshit. Then she accuses me of doing the shit she actually, provably does (??!!) and implies this accusation renders me human no more.

Fucking Hysterical.

Anyway. The point I'm trying to make is - this nonny is very unintentionally funny. I will continue to laugh at her.

Ps: I have never in my life claimed to be human in the first place. Get fucked.

witcher screenshot compilations

got a bunch of stray imgur links floating around on discord, but here they all are! mostly of character swaps to emhyr. be warned that character swaps involving female->male skeletons may be a bit...cursed ahah. check the reblogs for further additions, because the original post is cranky abt any more links being added to it.

shoutout to @tigerlyla-of-metinna who's done amazing edits to some of these pics and also for enabling my new hobby

Emhyr visits Kaer Morhen

quest is No Place Like Home, swaps are Lambert to Geralt, Yen to Ciri, Geralt to Emhyr. Emhyr graces Kaer Morhen with his imperial presence. in return, the witchers convince him to drink himself silly. welp, what dignity was lost was regained in camaraderie

La Cage au Fou ft.a sad hedgehog

while out trapping monsters, Geralt accidentally captures...the emperor of nilfgaard?? how he got there aside, he's in pretty bad shape and has apparently gone feral. lucky there's a witcher who's been through this rodeo before, so emhyr's in safe hands <3

Roche to Emhyr and Ves to Ciri

quests are Eye for an Eye and Reason of State, with bonus swaps Dijkstra to Dettlaff and Thaler to Regis. Ever wanted to see Emhyr plotting against Emhyr? these pics have you covered! also included: emhyr and geralt being big damn heroes, and drunk uncle Dettlaff giving Regis a headache by quoting Macbeth Vakmeth scenes. See one of my reblogs for this link, bc this post doesn't want to save with it here for some reason.

Emhyr x Geralt hugs (Blood Run quest)

Regis's expressions make Emhyr look so soft 💖

Something Ends, Something Begins (Geralt to Emhyr)

soft moments with Ciri and Emhyr getting some dad moments in.

Ciri's Story: Out of the Shadows (Baron to Emhyr)

Emhyr has a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Emhyr may be a snacc but his daughter's here to make sure he doesn't become a snack (for basilisks)

The Battle of Kaer Morhen ft.The White Flame (Geralt to Emhyr). lots of Sadmyr and tender moments with Ciri

father's day at kaer morhen

Geralt to Emhyr swap, quest is Blood on the Battlefield. Emhyr and Ciri destress with a snowball fight. Geralt's sitting out this one, probably collapsed of sheer shock from learning that Emhyr is capable of experiencing fun.

Emralt, now with reduced clothes!

Yen to Emhyr, the opening scene at Kaer Morhen. yeah these are actually Yen's body proportions bc Yen's skeleton but shhhhh

A Midnight Clear: Shani to Emhyr mod

more spooky scary (animation) skeletons

A Midnight Clear: spiciest Emralt highlights

Geralt x Emhyr action. don't look at the proportions too closely, just lie back and think of nilfgaard

Lost scenes/fics game!

Thank you for tagging me, @tigerlyla-of-metinna! Here are the rules:

We all probably have them, those scenes that never made it to the story, the stories that never went anywhere, all those small and larger bits of love we wrote and still hoard on out hard drives. So now - let's share!

The rules are simple:

1. Share a piece of fic that you cut out for some reason, or a piece of a fic that you began and never continued, some lost piece of your writing, be it long or short, prose or verse. Unfinished Art and Illustrations are also welcome.

2. Tag five or more people who might want to share a piece of their writing or art. Specific questions are welcome, but don't need to be adhered to.

3. Be kind. Let's spread positivity. Show support for your fellow artists and writers. Laughing along is great, mocking is not welcome.

4. Tagging someone back is totally fine, if the person doesn't want to share anything else, or anything at all, for that matter, that's fine too.

What follows is a scene I cut from my Mass Effect story, The Precedent. This was written long enough ago that I have no memory whatsoever of writing (or cutting) it, and I can't say, off the top of my head, why it got cut -- likely because it was going to make an already complicated situation even more complicated for no particular gain.

Anyway:

But Saren wasn’t done with the examination. He covered Elethea’s upper body and uncovered her right leg instead. “There’s another problem. Hold her knee up.”

Her skin was clammy, the flesh under it squishy. Nothing like medigel to remove any trace of tone from the muscles. They struggled a bit to plant the foot on the bed with the knee bent above. Apparently, there was something under the skin on the back of her calf.

“She has a—” Saren glanced at the girl. “An emergency termination chip.”

Nihlus silently repeated the unfamiliar phrase. Emergency termination… of what? “You don’t mean, like—” he soundlessly mouthed the words “—a suicide chip?”

“Yes. We have to get it out.”

“That’s insane. Saren—” his options for gesturing were limited and Saren was refusing to look at him, busy trying to get a reading from the back of Elethea’s leg with a small hand-held scanner. “We have neither the skills nor the tools. What if we trigger it?”

“Yes.”

“Yes what?”

“Yes, it’s risky.” His patience was wearing thin, Nihlus could hear it in the rasp of his voice.

But so was his own. “So, let’s get her to a hospital?”

“You think they have better ‘skills and tools’—for this? It’s exactly why I didn’t want you to take her to a hospital.”

Nihlus had to admit, however begrudgingly, that Saren had a point there. Suicide chips weren’t exactly an item on the standard medical curriculum. Like most illegal micro-cybernetics, they usually came with a reflective coating that could hide them from generic scanners, but a full-body medical scan would probably reveal it. Any attempt to tamper with it, without disabling it first, would trigger the release of a deadly neurotoxin into the user’s tissue, causing nearly instant death. And depending on the settings, even aggressive scanning might be taken as “tampering”.

Nihlus had seen it happen. He had lost a priceless source in a batarian slaving ring to a suicide chip triggered by a Citadel customs scanner. His guy had been picked up from the line of arrivals because it looked like he could be wearing a weapon under his baggy jacket. The real reason, Nihlus suspected, was that he was batarian; the C-Sec was notorious for exercising their limited power on minorities, especially those with a bad rep. When the normal weapons scanner failed to confirm their theory, they put the guy through the high-power one used to uncover illegal cybernetics. Nihlus had arrived just in time to see the guy convulse on the floor.

“You don’t have its command frequency?”

“It’s activated with biotics. Only she can disable it.”

“Fuck.”

“Fuck!” the girl echoed.

Nihlus ignored her. Mention of biotics gave him an idea. “Can you… put a stasis field around it?”

“Perhaps. But what then?”

“Then I fry it with a laser.”

Saren put the scanner down, staring past Nihlus as he considered it.

“Would that even work? The laser, I mean, inside a stasis field. Does it… arrest… the light too?”

“Shut up and let me think.”

“Yes, sir.”
