Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers (except me because obvs I have done it). Spread the self-love ❤

Hi Val!

Thanks for sending this to my inbox. Sorry for the late reply. Been busy these past weeks.

Anyways I dont have that many fics on A03. Two at present and ficlets on tumblr. So if anyone is interested, these are it!

My main fic (Emhyr x Sarah) (A Painting of You) This is the moodboard and fic link. It's a vanilla pairing and wholesome, with hardly any smut (Im not that good at creating tasteful smut yet but I'm working on it)

2. The sequel to A Painting of You: The Roles We Play. It is still ongoing. I do recommend reading the first fic because it will mention a lot of the previous events.

3. The ficlet posted in episode format. It's Empress Ciri and Emperor consort Morvran and its a hilarious series of unfortunate events. Lots of naked guest appearances parading around, thanks to a stipulation of the constant GWENT winner. Guess who these guys lost their clothes to:

The other two I'll probably reblog on Sunday. So if you've not seen these, please check them out. have a chuckle on the short story :)))

Because the Witcher fandom is stupid haters who are obsessed with their supposedly more correct ships and only spread rot and humiliate the unwanted ship of Roche/Ciri. For the Witcher fandom, even my posts on my blog are stupid garbage in "their" tags and aggression. After all, they do not allow Ciri to be brought together by anyone other than the holy goddess of the same age as cerys or the correct voorhis. The entire fandom has been hounding me for several years now because of my ship that they don’t like, they write insults on Twitter and in the comments, they mock and humiliate me. The fandom made me an outcast for fun.

I want to address the concerns you have raised. Firstly, I assure you that no one in this fandom intends to mock or humiliate you. If you have felt like an outcast, I sincerely apologize. Everyone should feel welcome in a fandom space. I have noticed that every time you send a message, it is anonymous, so no one can be hounding you because they don't know who you are.

However, I must point out that you have been harassing people here. I have seen people tell you that there is nothing wrong with shipping Ciri/Roche, but they simply don't, and you won't leave them alone. I have also seen you go after blogs that aren't even Witcher blogs.

Secondly, while there are people who ship Ciri with Cerys, I am not one of them and never have been. No one is saying that Ciri/Cerys is the only ship, and if there are people who do that, then that is wrong of them.

So, please get over yourself. You are trying to act like the victim when, in reality, you are the aggressor.

For the character game: Ciri (because I'm me 😆) and Boromir 😊

thank you @andordean for the tag. I'd love your version for Ciri, Regis and Geralt. (If you have opinions on boromir, I'd be curious about them too)

Ciri

How I feel about this character: Ciri is complicated character for me. I didn't really care for her in the books and the books came first for me, prior to games or TV. I never really came to like book Ciri. Game Ciri was a definite improvement, and oddly TV Series Ciri grew on me. I also appreciate her story - the direct escape from Cintra - much more than the book version of the events. I think I will always end up writing a slightly AU version of Ciri, but I have come to appreciate her character and have fun with certain stories about her.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Morvran, several Witchers, Eskel and Letho among them. Coën

Morvran - the main pairing in my mind. Empress or Witcheress ending both. In the Witcheress ending Ciri would be free to chose, and when she falls for General Voorhis, she'd not even know he is the man, her father wanted her to marry. And Morvran is simply fascinated with this kick-ass Lady, no matter who she might be. In the Empress ending their start would be a bit more rocky, until Ciri realises that Morvran is willing to accept her the way she is, and to wait for her until she is ready.

Letho/Eskel/other Witchers: Witcheress Ending only. Ciri living the life of a Witcher and ultimately falling in love with one of her brothers in arms. Or maybe with two.

Coën - is my AU ship at the end of Song of the Dragon. Only hinted at, but it is there. He followed Ciri on that long journey to discover her true heritage, and he chooses to stick with her, giving up on returning home in the end. They'll grow closer and ultimately fall in love. Ciri deserves a knight in shining armour and our Griffin is just that.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Regis

The way they encountered in Stygga should have left some impression and I see Ciri and Regis becoming close friends after B&W. I also see Regis as someone who might see Ciri's scars, and slowly help her to deal with the nightmares of her past. Regis will understand the things that Geralt, as a Witcher, cannot.

My unpopular opinion about this character: She never even considered returning to Cintra, or negotiating as the Princess for some type of vassal state for her homeland. She never thinks of what her people go through under Nilfgaard, she just runs away. Even as she gets older and realises that Nilfgaard wants some kind of legitimacy for their claim, she never even tries to make use of that. In that way she is a spoiled Princess brat, not seeing her responsibilities towards her people.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon. That instead of becoming a murderer among the rats, she'd have considered the slower and unglorious way of finding honest work. As a farmhand, in the stables, as scullery maid, whatever - she goes down the way of the thief, plunderer and murderer too easily, and I wish she had a crossroads there, where she went a different path.

And ABOVE ALL: I wish canon, especially the books, would not objectify Ciri the way they do.

Boromir

How I feel about this character: This was the character that fascinated me from my first reading of Lord of the Rings on. I was 13 at the time, and to me Boromir had clear Hagen of Tronege vibes. And I was a fan of Hagen. What fascinated me was that Boromir came from the direct border of the dark lands, so he must have experience with the enemy they are faced with, but somehow no one thought to ask him. I also wondered what drove him to turn on his companions and my earliest conclusion was, that he did not see how they could succeed. Gimli and Legolas were bickering about whether Axe or Bow were the better weapon, Aragon was focused on becoming King, so he could marry Arwen and the hobbits had no clue about anything - so i thought he felt his companions did not really take the whole danger serious. Later, as I grew up, that view evolved on a more psychological question, and also considered the burdens Boromir already carries, as a commander and the son of a deeply unhappy family.

To this day Boromir is my hero, he always will be. Even as the picture of him that I had in my mind, got deeply changed thanks to Sean Bean's wonderful portraying him.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: None actually. I got told my story had vibes for Boromir/Kili and also for Boromir/Shakurán. (Shakurán being an OC Easterling soldier, invented by me so Boromir would have a named opponent to scheme and fight against). Both pairings are absolutely imaginable, only I was maybe never able to write them.

I always wondered why Boromir in the books wasn't married. He was 42 when he died, and coming from a noble house with only two children, I'd have expected him to be married at a young age. But he wasn't. One can wonder about the reasons, which would allow even more speculation on potential pairings.

My non-romantic OTP for this character:

My AU: Kili

This only makes sense if you read my story, but their story is one of a friendship that transcends destiny and death itself.

In canon: Faramir I'd say. The two brothers against the rest of the world.

My unpopular opinion about this character: he was a better leader than Aragorn ever was.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon. There are two. One is of course that he survived Amon Hen and made his way home, to fight in the war of the ring.

And the second: that he had a family. As i said before: according to Tolkien Boromir is 42 when he dies, and there is no logical reason why he wasn't long married, and be it to secure the Stweard's line. It would have been fascinating, and hopefully deeply shaking and uncomfortable, if Aragorn reached Gondor, became King, only to be faced with Boromir's widow and sons. It would have been such great drama and emotional hurt potential. (I had even started writing a story in that vein, but never got far)

“Why are you in my rooms?” she asked, sounding angrier then she thought she would.

Triss raised an eyebrow. “Why are you not?” and this time Ciri could feel herself blush all the way to the roots of her hair.

“I had urgent business to-” she started but Triss interrupted her.

“Alone, barefoot and in your night-robe? Please Ciri. As your political adviser I’d be embarrassed if you told such obvious lies.” She shook her head. “You were visiting general Voorhis chambers weren’t you?”

Some of the earlier anger flared back. “Were you spying on me?” she demanded.

Triss continued unfazed. “Of course not, don’t be absurd!” She waited a second before adding as an afterthought, “Fringilla was spying on you.”

Morvran Voorhis dressed as a Redanian nobleman (my design)

Let's take a look at his outfit:

1. Lush, richly decorated and bright clothes of the Redanian nobility largely inspired by the costume of the szlachta (gentry of the realm in the Kingdom of Poland, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania) of the 16th-17th centuries;

2. Collar (jewelry) with eagle pendant, symbol of power;

3. Redanians don't need eye makeup ;

4. Warm schaube with puffy sleeves just for northern latitudes;

5. "How to put on a zupan, so already become a pan"; ( Pan - it's slavic honorific, it was equivalent to "Lord" or "Master" )

6. Kontusz - it's pride of redanian nobleman. Doesn't fasten to the end to bug was seen zupan;

7. Satin Ofiri belt with ornament from golden threads;

8. The cane is an attribute all the archspies and conspirators;

9. Saffiano boots with embossed pattern.

“You, Spy. You are amazing with ladies. You know, classy ones. The kind that smell good and can read. And always have their glasses on just kind of crooked. You know? The ones that don’t go for a guy like me”.

“But you know what book-smart ladies like me find sexier than anything? Waitin’ patiently for me to change my mind!”

Morvran Voorhis, first-ranked prince of Nilfgaard, has been sent to Kaer Morhen on a diplomatic mission. His tasks are twofold: first, negotiate a nonaggression treaty between the wild barbarian Warlord of the North and the Nilfgaardian Empire. And second, ingratiate himself with the mysterious Warlord’s daughter and heir apparent, Princess Cirilla.

Sir Cahir Mawr Dyffryn aep Ceallach, a Vicovaran knight, has been assigned to protect young Prince Voorhis on this mission. Prince Voorhis may be the best of a bad lot, but Cahir’s still not looking forward to the threats or the temperature of a winter in the distant North.

They both know their mission is a dangerous one. But they don’t know where the true danger lies…and while they know how to navigate Nilfgaard’s treacherous court, they are not prepared for Kaer Morhen. This is a mission they might not survive…and if they do, they might be changed beyond all recognition.

Because the Witcher fandom is stupid haters who are obsessed with their supposedly more correct ships and only spread rot and humiliate the unwanted ship of Roche/Ciri. For the Witcher fandom, even my posts on my blog are stupid garbage in "their" tags and aggression. After all, they do not allow Ciri to be brought together by anyone other than the holy goddess of the same age as cerys or the correct voorhis. The entire fandom has been hounding me for several years now because of my ship that they don’t like, they write insults on Twitter and in the comments, they mock and humiliate me. The fandom made me an outcast for fun.

Oh hiiii Marina, still hasn't learn how to say hello I see! ((:

Spoiler: don't think I'm gonna pity you, you're clearly not on the right blog honey Still, that doesn't answer my question: what was your goal by sending me this ask? Was there a purpose? Because I didn't read any question or request. And beyond that, why coming to complain? I'm not here to be a referee in a childish game of "my ship is better than yours" in a whole ass fandom; people are grown ups, and enjoy what they want, and that includes you.

What are you expecting of me exactly? To pity you because people on the internet are mean? Welcome to the real world, if you despite the witcher fandom so bad, ✨be my guest and stop any interaction with it✨ (you can still ship on your own side, be an adult please)

But on the other side you're the one coming into my (aka a random stranger) asks hurling your opinion and complaining... ironic for someone who complains about being bullied isn't it?...

Once again: I literally do not care about who ship which character with another. People are being mean to you? I'm not your mother or internet police.

I won't answer you from now on so I'm just wishing you a good day, and hope that someday you'll understand that harassing people won't help your cause.

[bloededhoine]

hi! I loved the last headcanons I requested so I'm sending more, hope u don't mind and sorry if this is late and if it is not Friday for u anymore. ☾, ■ and ♡ for Morvran (coz the one u wrote is the most amazing thing) and ✿ for Ves. Thank you so much and btw I abolutely love your witcher memes

you sent this 6 november. it is currently 12 december (by time i finished it its 11 january on my god) i am so fucking sorry but here you go! also the ves one.. yes.

☾ - sleep headcanon

■ -  bedroom/house/living quarters headcanon

♡ - romantic headcanon

✿ - sex headcanon

list

sleep headcanon

morvran is generally a pretty light sleeper, to the point where someone walking loudly outside will wake him up

so, he takes it upon himself to be properly tired before he goes to bed so he'll sleep through the night

this is usually accomplished by riding (a horse or a diplomat? who's to say)

good god it's the third bullet point how did i already make this sexual

alright...

he totally gives me monogrammed matching pyjama set vibes

like they're a mahogany coloured silk with a little MV embroidered in cursive

ciri loves making fun of them

but he's comfy DAMNIT

he sleepwalks... and didn't think it worth mentioning until emhyr hired a witcher to deal with the palaces supposed wraith problem...and of course he didn't want the city of golden towers to have a reputation as a hotbed for monsters.... but he eventually decided he liked his status as the local ghost

he keeps a dream diary.

like most of these hcs are based on tiny details in some obscure translation, but trust me bro morvran voorhis keeps a dream diary

he plays the dapper dude game, but with enough sambuca he will absolutely tell you why journaling your dreams is the most important thing you can do

he wears slippers. i know this for a fact. they match his pyjamas and he leaves them right next to his bed every night

of course, this started with morvran's father making sure he was always prepared for a quick getaway

even after the assassination he just couldn't shake the habit. he also always stays on the ground or first floor and won't fall asleep in a room unless the windows open from the inside. precautions, you know?

great now i'm sad

bedroom/house/living quarters headcanon

okay here's the thing you need to understand about morvran voorhis: he did not have any autonomy for the first 20 odd years of his life

growing up in the imperial palace doesn't leave a lot of room for individuality. sure, he had expensive toys, soft fabrics, and the nicest governesses and most intelligent tutors in the empire, but none of it was his

even after his father died, he couldn't leave because he was getting married off to some girl he'd never even met!

so, by time he had command of the alba division and, by extension, his own life, he got creative

i'm talking a tapestry of his favoured stallion that takes up an entire wall

and a custom plaque of the merchant's guild insignia on the mantle

and a hook right next to his bed to put his medallion

and his own gwent card, framed

and a map of nilfgaard he annotates himself, with markings such as "bastard who stole fire scorpion, cheats with scoia'tael deck", "pretty girl witcher", "annoying witcher", "guild army contact", "actual 25 centimetres, take portal or carriage"

and a desk he never actually uses because it's too orderly and looks too nice to mess up

should all those mismatched patriotic and egotistical things look good together? no, no they should not. but do they?? fuck to the yes! our mans knows the importance of a colour scheme!

when you first walk in his quarters, it looks kind of like most of the others in alba, except with a few extra empty coffee mugs

but he HAS THOSE MOTHERFUCKING DETAILS

i don't know why i'm so invested in this i just fucking KNOW it's true

he's a neat freak. i feel like we all knew this.

there's a designated spot for everything, and don't you dare mess up the system

also if you drip water on his rug he will 100% throw your ass out onto the street

romantic headcanon

now, i'm almost exclusively romantically attracted to women, but i would marry voorhis and not just for the money

he definitely has a huge romantic streak that he really loves indulging. buying flowers, writing love letters, all of that, he genuinely enjoys it

yes, he's a busy man, but he makes the little moments count! he definitely bugs assire for a new xenovox like every week because he breaks them so often

morvran voorhis is a massive flirt. i will not be taking questions

i told myself i wouldn't work in my voorhis used to be a sex worker hc in this, but you know what he did and that's important to him!

the flirting is definitely an issue in relationships, especially with people who didn't know him before he was a commander.

i'm not saying he's two faced, he just has very distinct business and pleasure personas that he doesn't want to mix

he also sees relationships as fairly contractual. he gave those diplomats a little of ~this~ because it helped him succeed. somewhere along the way he began to enjoy the feelings of courting someone, but it was largely because he knows you're always better at work you enjoy.

ciri has called him out on it a few times... he was not happy

how dare you ask this man to be vulnerable he is a BOTTOM

but i honestly think that if there is someone he wants, he will make himself worthy of them. voorhis is nothing if not confident and determined, and i think those are more powerful than the massive daddy issues and praise kink

he really just puts in effort and concern to all aspects of a relationship

like dates? unreal

he always starts by going to the vegelbud estate, partly because he is desperate for his peers' approval and partly because he wants to see if this lucky person is a good match

he also knows all the places around the estate where wildflowers grow. i told you he's a romantic.

sex headcanon

i'm about to be incredibly gay on main oh good god jimmy don't read this please

ves is a dom and a top. acceptable titles include Sir, Master, or Lieutenant and you better fucking use them

ves definitely gets around. i mean, just look at her. the energy is immaculate and she knows what she's doing

overstim. just... one is not enough. shaking is not enough. begging is not enough. being completely fucked out and not even able to manage any words while sobbing? that might do. (with consent!)

not that ves doesn't love to hear some begging, she definitely does. it's just not going to motivate or demotivate her to do anything, she already has it all planned out

that plan includes hearing someone beg for her strap even as she's deep enough inside them they can feel it in their belly

good god i'm really exposing all my kinks

anyways let's keep it going!

she's an amazing rigger

not just in technique, she knows exactly when to be gentle versus firm and create art out of a body and some ropes

ves bites

just grabbing a handful of hair and tilting their head back so she can leave marks on their throat... mmhm yeah

i think she fucked geralt

like yeah you can have her fuck geralt in assassins of kings but i think she just did it anyway cause she was bored and smelled a bottom

he had a very good time

ves was eh

geralt's just far more submissive than ves's usual partners. i mean, she's used to handling 5 temerian guerillas. a singular witcher isn't even a challenge

surprisingly, she's quiet. spending 80% of her day within earshot of her father figure made this more of a necessity, but she can fashion an excellent gag for any parties who aren't worried about all of temeria hear them

6 Tarot cards for a Hallowed Eve

For the spirits of inspiration from everywhere. A little gift for some dear birbs @jawanaka @andordean @xuelingxu @nananarc @do-androids-dream-ao3acc One for each of your favorite character(s). Feeling naughty so I will leave y’all to guess which card is for which birb ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) If ye be wondering the extra card, wonder ye no more; tis for moi 👹

If you feel like it, choose any card for its symbolism or face value, major or minor, and pass it on (tag me plzz)! Drabble or sketch. Let’s have some fun?

1. The Magician

The heart of The Magician is a cautionary tale. Once, long ago, when the worlds collided at the will of the Gifted, when he chalked up the matter of Destiny on blackboards as though it was no more than a subject, one which can be studied from a safe distance. He thought he had years and years of learning, perfecting. Of loving. He aged, without withering, without adding lines to his chiseled face, without surrendering one shade less of the aquamarine in his eyes to the fade. He learned without understanding, perfected where perfection bore no meaning, and loved only the stars reflected in the pond. So when the fateful day came and he realized that she had finally, irrevocably, left—their homeland, the promise made for Posterity, hopes and dreams (whose, he would not admit), and ultimately, him. He realized his unlined hands held nothing but quicksand.

2. The Emperor

White. They say everyone start their lives as a white canvas, later, life dabbles and dashes its paint. Their lives started just the same. Before there was black and gold, before there was silver and steel, before the reasons of states and fates of the world, there was white. The incandescence of a dream. The memories of winter. When they collide, when they cross the veil made of wounds and scars—both on rough skins and inside softer hearts—the world returns to that singularity again, even for a moment: brighter than stars bursting into life, the light shines on them. And all is peace on earth.

3. The Hierophant

He couldn’t have guessed her name if he tried. At first, he thought it ludicrous he would ever wanted to try—he thought he knew her kind: angry, arrogant, all edge and revenge. He only needed her to get back to his rightful place. He didn’t need her to ask if he was holdin’ alright, if he had found a place to eat. He didn’t need her to listen to his story of bakeneko, to ask after his childhood. He didn’t need her to come back when all his plans collapsed. She did.

So when she breathed her name against his ear, all the neon nights of The City rolling up in her circuitry veins into one, futureless and heady with dreams—nothing nothing nothing existed besides the electric eyes. When she woke, beside him, her pale hair blanketed them both like snow.

4. The Lovers

She is a princess, he serves her father. When they met for the first time, the seasons were ending, so was the world. When they kissed for the first time, the world was green and growing, their clothes were dripping wet and they spoke of drowners. And there was a chest of treasure like from the olden tales, jewels sparkled in front of them. But the only treasure they found was in each other’s eyes. Emerald and Tiger’s Eye.

5. The Chariot

From the burning ash of defiance my dreams of vengeance was forged. From the shadows of the self-anointed mighty, the machinations of the dark one spread its talons across the galaxy. When the world changes, reborn in a black steel fire, I will be its first flame. I am The Chariot. I don’t look back, and I never stop.

6. The World

Riders masked with skull forever chasing behind the hooves of your horse called you Death. The people whose futures were pushed to the far corners of reservations looked to your spring-grass eyes and called you Hope, heralded you as the Wheel of Fortune. The spirit of lochs bore you like the whirlwind you have always made to be, passed the strangely mournful bells of Cintra and the pyres of Novigrad. The blue-green beak of your messenger cut through the biting blizzard, their wings of azure summoned the winds of spring. Everywhere you go, eyes of star, from the steps of Chaos sprouts life. You are no Death, no Empress, no Wheel of Fortune. Out of all paths, one. And you never lose your own. You are—

—The World.

yeet

ok i spent too long dithering about this so here it is. Direct sequel to A Genuine Talent, this is what happens when Cantarella gets back to Nilfgaard and goes to find out whether Teofina Voorhis knows anything about the Harlot of Repute novels.

A Matter of Principle, on AO3

I quite forgot whether I was being coy about what Teofina does or does not know. This story is not really coy in any way, LOL.

All my beta readers have at the moment become sidetracked and distracted by life events etc.; it’s usually the case that if there are errors they are my own, but it goes double in this case, as I didn’t get any feedback on this one before posting. As there are some slightly sensitive topics in here, I apologize in advance if I missed something super obvious, as I am wont to do. But I did my best.

“You’re a woman without peer,” Amadis agreed fondly, his broad hand sliding familiarly over Teofina’s bare hip to adjust the way her weight was pressing down against his erection.

“How are you still so beautiful,” Malvina said, sounding almost upset about it.

“It’s a lie, that children ruin you,” Teofina said. “It’s a lie that age ruins you. I was not very pretty when I was your age, darling. Amadis married himself a girl everyone considered unfortunate-looking, let me tell you.”

“No one said that,” Amadis pointed out, but Teofina patted his face absently.

“It was an investment,” Teofina said. “I had to live in this body, and live in this face, and grow into it. Most of it is how you carry yourself anyway. I know, dearie,” and she patted Malvina now, “that you’re very pretty, and you were probably a pretty child too, and you were led to believe your looks would peak when you were twenty and it would all be downhill from there, but they were lying. Men want you too innocent to recognize their bullshit, that’s all, that’s why the ideal is a woman who looks too young to have ever been touched before.”

“I’ve been almost looking forward to losing my looks,” Malvina said, a little forlornly. “Then I could do something else with my life.”

“Darling,” Teofina said, and kissed her. “My sweet! Have you been told that it’s a terrible sin and waste not to use this beauty for fucking?”

“Sort of,” Malvina sighed.

“If you don’t want to fuck, you shouldn’t have to,” Teofina said. “What would you rather do with your life?”

“Oh,” Malvina said, very clearly recollecting herself, “I-- it’s not that I mind. I just. You know.”

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!

I was searching for this one little girl from Lost in Space, because I remembered sideyeing that, but it took me a moment, because I guess they apparently recast her or something? Idk. I haven't seen it in a while and didn't get to finish it. But, I wanted to add her in too, and then I found a little tangent.

So.okay. This is the kid I saw...

Playing this person.

If you can't see it in the black and white. She lightskint. I believe biracial irl.

Great actress. Beautiful girl. Ain't responsible for casting.

This the child they had later that I didn't see.

Better job done.

At any rate. Time for my tangent... Ummmmm... I didn't know that Taylor Russell had apparently played Lark Voorhies in a project about Saved by the Bell????

LARK VOORHIES???

Come on Taylor. You know goodndamnwell girl...

ANYWAYS. My point stands.

To be clear, I'm not even talking about the typical colorism of making unambiguous and/or monoracial characters portrayed by light skinned biracial and multiracial actors. I got beef with that, but the thing I'm talking about is within a production, when there are multiple actors playing the same role, and they can't be bothered to accurately cast.

I'm watching Westworld, and this adorable little girl that they let me form a connection with (who look so much like my youngest niece when she was little) ...

They turn around and bamboozle me with an adult version of her played by none other than that girl that had the audacity to steal the representation of Shana Elmsford in that Jem movie that none of us watched, and I personally cannot forgive.

So. Here are a few examples that I recall looking around the room whenever I saw the choices while watching some stuff.

This little girl in the flashback for Ava in Ant Man and The Wasp.

It's not a huge difference in photos, but photos don't be true to how the people look and It's difficult to find images as clear as the production when you're watching it. But, that child is not likely to grow up and look like that. They ain't eeem got the same eyes and Ava was on her revenge thang. She was not about to be bleaching her skin and getting light colored contacts in her revenge free time.

And I was double sideeyeing because that's not even the first time casting pulled that with one of Hannah's characters. Remember baby Dutch on Killjoys?

Maybe Dutch would change her appearance when she got older, because she really wanted tp detach herself from her past... But Aneela wouldn't have, so??? That's simply the form they allegedly grew up into. 🙄

And... I ain't never watch this, because I just didn't, but it's the most agregious example on this short list and that's the Ruby character in The Darkest Minds. Girl, looka dis:

Ruby grew up and lost an ENTIRE HALF of her DNA. Whoever was responsible for this was ON ONE.

Geralt shouldn’t have accepted the invitation but the idea was so tantalising he had to say yes. Two weeks at Castell Haul with Ciri and Emhyr, celebrating the first night of Yule half way through his stay. Of course he absolutely wanted to spend time with his daughter, that wasn’t the issue that made him consider staying his hand.

The issue was Emhyr.

Not because they didn’t get on, in fact they got on far better than anyone could have predicted. He’d even go so far as to say they were friends. That was fine, of course, he would even go so far as to say it was wonderful. What wasn’t wonderful was the fact that Geralt also found himself to be helplessly in love with Emhyr too. Objectively, he knew he shouldn’t love Emhyr with such intensity and passion but he couldn’t seem to help it. Emhyr was handsome and clever and when he looked at Geralt, it made Geralt feel like the most important person in the world.

Which was an issue. It really couldn’t be described as anything else.

Anna henrietta, Morvran voorhis... my nilfgaardian baes

These past few days have been busy af, but I'm gonna try to clear as many asks as I can today! Thank you for your patience and thank you for asking for these Nilfgardian hotties.

I have already rated Anarietta, you can find her in the 'Ask me' tagged on my blog!

Morvran Voorhis

Long hair, pale and dark circles? Love me some sick looking fucker. Will bang. 13/10

I admit I had to go back and watch a couple vids to remember who this hot guy was and I don't regret it. Morvran Voorhis just has something about him that I love and damn. Who interrogates a man while he's naked? I know I would and that's because I'm a slut and I love guys (and girls) and so is Morvran.

He is a very confident man, you need to be if you're gonna be shamelessly ogling a hot, naked witcher, and as I said, we stan confident people in this house. Morvran can definitely interrogate me anytime, provided he is also in a towel fresh from a bath and he can definitely watch me get dressed any time. Might even take him up on whatever suggestions he has, I'm sure he has very interesting ideas.

Morvran also knows how to ride and so does my slut Geralt, but he's had plenty of practice. I've only ridden a horse twice in my life (both very scary experiences), but I'm willing to ride Morvran every single day for the rest of my life without arguing. He's a very hot fucker and my whore ass just can't help it, I will totally give him whatever he wants.

What is it with Nilfgaardian people and their amazing hair and cool clothes? Emhyr, Anarietta and now this fucker? I'm just obsessed. I love him so much and I love the super chill vibe he gives. I can definitely see him more like a gentle dom. He know he's in control, but he also plays along and doesn't really care much about the rules. I don't think we've ever seen him angry in the game and that says a lot about him. He's a chill person who doesn't need to prove anything to anyone and that is just hot af for me.

I won't take Morvrans Voorhis offer for a horse race, but you bet your ass I'm not gonna need that Nilfgaardian saddle for the riding I'm gonna be doing.

Send me The Witcher 3 characters and I'll rate them along with my thot thoughts.
