Geraskier AU ideas, pain and suffering and more pain:

Jaskier ask Geralt why is he here? What Geralt ever wanted from him, because he now knows it wasn’t his friendship, it wasn’t him as a person

Jaskier asks if the only reason Geralt let him stick around is because Geralt wanted someone who loved him unconditionally, who was loyal to him until the end, but nothing else? Whom Geralt could cast aside any moment knowing he wouldn’t feel any guilt, any fear of being not immediately forgiven afterwards?

And when Geralt fails to respond, fails to find the right words — that yes, Jaskier’s loyalty, Jaskier’s acceptance was a part of why Geralt wanted him, but it was only a small part of it, that Geralt always loved Jaskier for who he is, all of him — and when Geralt fails to say that, Jaskier accepts his accusations as truth.

And then Jaskier drinks the potion that was with him, and there is chaos buzzing, a sudden change. There isn’t just pain in bard’s eyes when he looks at Geralt, there is fear and disgust. He calls Geralt a monster. He runs.

Geralt picks up an empty potion bottle dropped on the ground and tucks it away. He’ll ask Triss or Yenn when he meets either of them.

When Geralt gives the bottle to Triss a month or so later, she can identify it: it’s a potion that erases memories, but spelled to target only good parts, leaving all the painful ones in tact.

Triss asks Geralt if someone gave that to Ciri, but Geralt says no — Jaskier took it.

Triss is horrified. There are two names for that specific potion — “lover’s last tears” and “wife’s noose”, and for a good reason: if it targets recent relationships, it helps to move on from it even if in an unhealthy way, but if it erases years, decades of companionship, it can drive any person mad, mad enough to end their own life.

And it was a month since Jaskier took the potion.

just wanted to say that art is not a competition, whether it is drawing, writing, music or anything. and if someone is trying to always highlight how better, smarter and more talented than everyone else they are, probably their art is also going to feel that way.

do your own thing and stop letting yourself get influenced by people who have no idea what art is, if not a mean to put themselves on a pedestal to be admired on and look down on other people.

hi friends! this is my reminder that tumblr is not real. (btw this is all from a girl's perspective)

lets think. what's a fan fav trope? sunshine x grumpy? when have you ever met a "grumpy" guy like rin? THEY DONT EXIST. everyone has at least a basic level of manners, and the people that don't are absolute douchebags who dont have the soft side that makes this trope so good. and even if a grumpy did exist, (you might be able to find a less grumpy version irl??) you wouldnt get to know them well enough for them to open up to you and love you. why? because they're BITCHES. like. IMMEDIATELY. no chance to say hi or get to know them, because it's "hi! nice to meet you! i'm y/n! what's your name?" "rin." *walks away*

also. guys dont hardcore fall for girls like the way we depict them. "the moment i laid eyes on her, i knew that she was the one for me. the one i would marry. the only one i could ever love" like uhhh bro what

LETS THINK OF ANOTHER TROPE!! hmmm only one bed? in WHAT scenario would you be sharing a bed with a guy. group of friends on vacay?? lets be fr the girls would all cram on one bed and the guys on the other. oh! for some reason youre the manager of their sports team?? first of all, girls aren't managers for all-boys teams (at least in the US in high school) but IF IT SOMEHOW HAPPENED, i absolutely GUARANTEE that the school/team would find another way to get you your own bed. there is NO WAY IN HELL you would share a bed with a guy. (as a girl, at least.)

ok! another one! enemies to lovers! ok so who do you know that has an actual "enemy?" NO ONE. people dont have enemies, and thats ESPECIALLY true for girl-guy relationships. "oh, y/n? yeah, she's weird as hell." "oh, *insert boy name?* he's such a creep like omg" THAT is what happens. THAT is reality. there is no hot hatred-fueled hookup. it's just "ewww i hate him hes so weird" like be fr.

what are some popular meet-cutes? first one that comes to mind for me is like A spilling coffee on B. that could be SORT of realistic but like what are the odds of the most gorgeous gorgeous gal (y/n) being in the exact same place at the exact same time as the most gorgeous gorgeous guy (tumblr fantasy man) and just so happening to spill her drink on this very specific man? ALMOST ZERO. this typa stuff just DOESNT HAPPEN. and on the slim chance that this did in fact occur, do you really think that a lot of guys would like offer to pay for your coffee and dry cleaning? NO. i had a guy BREAK my tumbler to the point that i couldn't use it and all i got was a lousy "sorry."

anyways i will still be reading and loving and writing and loving and dreaming and loving and hoping and loving on tumblr. when will i get a bf amen have a good day

angry hot take:

i'm sick and tired of middle aged clash fans who (supposedly) used to be punks in their youth and now have grown into alt-right-sympathising knob-ends; of the shallow pricks who weaponise *that* "life of brian" scene to justify their transphobia; and generally of sad little twats trying so hard to be "alternative" who say "joe strummer would be rolling in his grave for this", "joe strummer would hate that" whenever their backwards beliefs are challenged. just let me politely ask this: who the fuck are you to determine what joe strummer would hate today? why are you trying to push someone who died 20 years ago into your fascist nonsense?? did you attend a seance and asked him personally??? well, i got news for you: you didn't.

people are starving, dying, struggling to make ends meet and having basic rights denied to them because those who are in charge are more concerned about scapegoating to hide their incompetence and taking advantage of people's fear and desperation for votes. this said, we can be pretty sure about what would piss joe off if he was still alive: no need to guess and make assumptions shaped by our own political views and values - just read the lyrics he wrote his whole life and acknowledge the message he wanted to pass on with his actions. personally i don't remember joe saying anything along the lines of "be an insufferable git to anyone who's being bullied and maybe even killed just for having the guts of living how they want without harming anybody else": if he ever did, please enlighten me - i'm waiting.

in the meantime: shut up you cunt, if you haven't got something serious to say - piss off!

“Most loved”

fuck you Netflix

I appreciate the trope in [fan]fiction but if someone tried to shut me up with a kiss during an argument they're getting their spine ripped out through their mouth

[psychoticwillgraham]

it’s Saturday, so let’s post my completely correct doll opinions

[insertdisc5]

remember, kids! to draw well, don't forget to look at real world references!

When Mary Macdonald was getting to the end of her days, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren knew.

They knew because she began telling stories of things she had suddenly remembered, things they knew had certainly never happened.

But at the center of every fantastical story the old woman would tell, was a girl of bright red hair and with an even more fiery personality.

She could never quite remember the girl's name, but it always felt like it was on the tip of her tongue when she looked out the window to her garden of lilies.

Honestly, it was such a wild experience watching the show before being in the fandom and exposed to nuclear waste levels of toxicity

I took it for granted that everyone understood Boil and Waxer are Numa's gay dads, Rex and Cody are stress-married, Torrent Company is one giant polycule, and The Bad Batch show only exists because the Empire forced Crosshair and Hunter to get a divorce. Like, what's not clicking here people

The Clone Wars fandom experience is finding art/writing/fun stuff about clones and then the creator in the same breath going “no clonecest lol 🤪🫣🤮”

Is this the fandom version of “no homo”
