Witcher Kas, School of the Leshen

[kenobihater]

Listen that post about the Griffins being a Cstholic School has been haunting me and it is SO correct. However, as someone who never went to Catholic School and only has heard Snippets of what happens there, could you elaborate a bit on what you'd envision the Griffin School being like, based on that comparison? Maybe like, how things are in irl Catholic Schools and how that could translate to the Witcherverse?

Tho with how traumatizing Catholic School had been for you, if you don't wanna talk abt it, that is alright!!!! Happy (late) Chanukah and New Years!!!

Happy belated Chanukah and a happy new year to you as well! I'm gonna offer a disclaimer that I didn't attend Catholic school for my entire highschool experience (thank GOD for that) and I'm not Catholic, though half my family is. That said, I don't think you need to have either been in the private school system or be a Catholic to have criticisms of their schools! Also, Catholic school truly sucked as an experience for me, but it wasn't all miserable all the time, so I'm totally comfortable with talking about it.

The biggest similarity I see between Catholic schools and the School of the Griffin is their emphasis on "proper etiquette". Catholic schools and their concept of proper etiquette obviously work primarily within the framework of religion, but I don't really see that being the case for the School of the Griffin. Perhaps there are some devotees to Melitele or Lebioda among the Griffins, but I don't see them as dominant or anything.

That said, there is a book that is said to be central to the Griffins' education and likely their etiquette as well, the Liber Tenebrarum, or Book of Shadows. We don't really know what's in it, but we do know that to pass their Trials they can either find a griffin's egg, or recite this book verbatim, of which no one has ever chosen the latter (though one Griffin did memorize it, Keldar, though apparently not for his Trials). Because it's important enough to the Griffin way of life to warrant memorization, I'd speculate that their "proper etiquette" is outlined in it. This gives off MAJOR "studying scripture/catechisms" vibes to me, especially because they're only required to recite it, not expound upon it and actually show true understanding, a critique I have of the Catholic school method for teaching theology that often prizes memorization of concepts and arguments rather than real comprehension of the material.

The "proper etiquette" thing and studying the Liber Tenebrarum like that are the biggest most central similarities between Catholic schools and the School of the Griffin that I can think of to be honest, though I do admit it would be funny to imagine more superficial similarities between them, like requiring uniforms or something, though the canon we have doesn't really support that aside from standardized armor.

Now, this bit isn't really Catholic school coding or anything like that, but I do find it fascinating that the Witcher George is a dragon slaying knightly figure, just like Saint George of Catholic tradition, undoubtedly a reference on the part of CDPR! Because of that historical reference, I really started thinking about how the knightly order of the School of the Griffin compares to the knightly orders of Europe. By far the most similarities I saw were between those of the Griffins and the Knights Templar, who happen to be Catholic. Both the Griffins and Templars were powerful organizations in their heydays and held substantial influence over politics and political figures, and Templars even had their own code of conduct known as the Latin Rule just like what might exist in the Liber Tenebrarum!

Idk, I just found this all super interesting and I'm glad you sent this ask bc "Griffins are Catholic coded, and Kaer Seren is a Catholic school" is really funny to me and I love it as a concept!

Geralt of Rivia as St. George ✨🗡️ (+ details )

And there it is! This took me like 7 hours to finish but I’m really proud of it!

Honestly, since I played the Witcher wild hunt I always had in mind to recreate some St. George’s art (the dragon slayer) but with geralt. I also really really love Christian and medieval art so I made this! I guess you could call it a little tribute to a game/ book and character that helped me so much in this last year.

Hope you like this as well! 🌈✌️

GRRM has had some misses with some of his takes, but this is not one of them. All of this can easily be remedied by adopting the "Don't like, don't adapt" philosophy.

[sophiemariepl]

Don’t you guys have a feeling that House of the Dragon, for a series that officially and according to its own creators, is supposed to portray strong female characters and have a feminist message, terribly badly portrays female political figures?

Like, I’m sorry but main players in HotD are mostly men, not women 😞

These two are cuts from the same cloth. Depressed and passionate messy kings… I love them

[valdomarx]

How do you feel about Regis and Geralt. In other news, I have finished the Blood & Wine DLC and have a new favorite character

oh boy do i ever love those old men. they have the exact energy of two tired dads at the playground lovingly giving their kids thumbs ups as said kids run full pelt into concrete walls. (the kids in this case are ciri, dandelion, and zoltan.)

perhaps my favourite thing about geralt and regis is how inexplicably tender they are with each other??? you might think they'd be jaded or angry or suspicious of the other - they are, after all, on the surface a monster and a monster hunter - but no!! from the moment they meet they're so kind and careful with each other. gives me an aneurysm.

also something about regis (again, an actual monster as per witcher lore) being the one who geralt truly trusts? the one who geralt lets his guard down around? lays bare his soul and talks about how he really feels about himself, and his life as a witcher, and the choices that were made for him? topics he doesn't even dare broach with eskel or lambert or vesemir? but he'll share with regis??? knowing that he won't be judged??? but will be understood and treated with compassion????

and regis does the same talking about his blood addiction, with apparently zero concern that geralt might misunderstand him or find him a threat? they just really look out for each other and want the best for each other? unconditional support and kindness????

CDPR give the people what they want challenge. it's still not too late to make regis romanceable.

Family Line fanfic

So I've been on a Conan Gray binge recently, and my favourite song (and the one that got me into him) is Family Line.

I think the lyrics really go with multiple characters from multiple fandoms, and so I want to write a series of one shots, one for each character with some of the lyrics from Family Line.

I've decided on 5 characters for sure: Claudia (AMC Interview with the Vampire), Lestat de Lioncourt (AMC IWTV), Henry Fox (Red, White & Royal Blue), Wylan van Eck (Six of Crows) and Alec Lightwood (Shadowhunters/TSC).

However I want to do a couple more but I can't pick between lots. So the couple that are most popular on the poll below, I will do as well. So...

RWBY Christmas Tales

The Dragon King

For Kina and Borvak.

Jaune licked his lips as Rouge pulled out the the salmon from the oven. He, Saphron, Verte, Noir, Blanc and their parents, Lucien and Grace hummed delightfully as the rich aroma danced on their nostrils.

Rouge: *grabs a large knife and fork* Alright everyone, let's dig in. *carves the salmon*

The Arc Family devoured their breakfast swifty, leaving behind clean plates. Rouge's eyes were wide in shock and embarrasment.

Rouge: Animals... my family are complete animals...

Lucien: Sorry about that, sweetheart. *wipes his mouth* We just love your cooking so much.

Blanc/Noir: Yeah!

Rouge: Just behave yourselves at the Christmas Banquet today.

Jaune: Don't worry, big sister. You won't hear a peep out of us. We'll be as good as gold.

Verte: Dibs on the last salmon! *goes to grab it*

Saphron: No way! It's mine!

Jaune: Give it here!

Blanc: No fair, I want it!

Noir: Shut up and give it to me!

Rouge: *groans in annoyance*

[Kingdom of Vale- Vale Castle Courtyard]

The Arc Family arrived in the Vale Courtyard and saw that everyone was playing in the snow, even the knights. Noir and Blanc raced towards the commotion and hastily made their snowballs to join in. The older siblings chuckled in amusement, with Jaune fighting the urge to join in.

Saphron: Go ahead, Jaune. *smiles*

Jaune: Yes! *runs up and get hits by snowball* Ow! Blanc!

Blanc: It wasn't me! Noir did it!

Noir: Did not!

Blanc: Did too!

Jaune: I know a way to settle this. *grabs snowballs* Run for cover!

Everyone cheered and laughed as they pelted each other with snowballs. Rouge, meanwhile, tried to hide. She didn't want to get her new dress wet. Once the fight was over, the people were invited inside for a lavish Christmas Banquet. The tables were laid out with some of the most exquiste spreads; roast beef, roast pork, roast chicken, roast turkey, roast goose, roast pheasant, sausages, bacon, mashed potatoes, leek and potato stew, carrot and parsnip soup, caramalised onions, grilled fish, potato croquettes, a cheeseboard, cherry pies, mince pies, stollen, strudels, crepéa and figgy pudding. Jaune couldn't believe his eyes. All of this was ready to be feasted on by knights and peasants alike. As everyone enjoyed their meals heartily, the King, George Draco, sat beside his advisor, the mage Ozma.

Ozma: *leans in* Your Majesty, now that everyone is here, I believe it is time to make the announcement.

George: *nods head and rises* Attention, everyone.

The guests all turned to the King at once.

George: Welcome one and all to this joyous occassion. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas. I am grateful to receive the wonderful gifts that you have left me and my loyal knights. But now, I have a gift for you. *raises arms* This very castle.

The crowd murmered to each other in surprise. King George was often referred to as "The Generous One", but to give away his entire castle sounded too much. Even Jaune's family was confused by this arrangement. King George smiled and raised his hand to calm the audience.

George: Let me explain. For 20 years, I have ruled this land and I have watched Vale blossom from a rough and frail land into a wonderful kingdom. But as a mortal, my life is finite. Eventually, I will no longer walk among you and, as I have no heir, you will be left without a ruler.

Ozma: *walks to the center* In the centre of the courtyard stands a relic from the Conjunction of the Spheres; a sword known as Caliburn. It is lunged within a stone and, whomever is worthy, shall inherit the Kingdom of Vale.

Jaune couldn't believe his ears. Inheriting a kingdom just for pulling a out a sword? He couldn't help but smile at the ludicrousy of it all. The guests, meanwhile, chatted amongst themselves in a mix of excitement and concern. Magic wasn't trusted, some outright feared it and to let magic decide the fate of Vale was rather dangerous. But the alternative could power a struggle and eventually a civil war. No one should have to fight their own brothers and sisters for a throne. After the feast, everyone gathered outside to gaze at the sword in the stone. It was a gleaming, silver blade with a silver crossguard modelled after dragon wings, dark blue handle and a sapphire embedded into the pommel. One by one, several people stepped up to face the challenge of Ozma, from peasants to barons, lords, ladies and even the knights. But none could do so much as move it, let alone pull it out. Jaune felt his tunic being dragged by his brothers as they pulled him towards the altar.

Jaune: Wha- hey! What are you two doing?

Blanc: Come on, big brother! You have a go!

Noir: Yeah, you can do it!

Jaune: Hehe, boys, no one else could do this. I don't think-

Blanc/Noir: Pleeeeeeease??

Jaune: *chuckles* Alright, alright.

Jaune grabbed the handle with both of his hands and took a deep breath. He placed his foot on the stone and pulled as hard as he could. Just like the others, however, he top struggled and his face turned red from the straining. In the end, he gave up and returned to his family.

Blanc: Awww.

Noir: Unlucky.

Jaune: It's okay, boys. *chuckles* At least I tried.

It didn't seem like anyone would be able to lift the sword out after all and people were starting to grow weary. At the sky became dark, the courtyard shrank as many of the guests had decided to go home. One young, blue-haired boy, however, stared at the sword with intrigue. He walked up to it and grabbed a hold of the handle. Suddenly, the sapphire started to glow and, with gentle force, the boy pulled it out effortlessly. Everyone's eyes nearly popped from their sockets. This young boy, who seemed to have gone unnoticed throughout the day, had successfully won the Kingdom of Vale. The boy stood back, bewildered at the sight of everyone bowing down, including the Arc Family and the King himself. Ozma stepped forward and smiled.

Blue-haired boy: W-What's going on?

Ozma: You are next in line to rule as King. We have finally found an heir! *bows down* All hail, Prince Arthur Azure!

You know what's sad?

When you make any movie/tv/book/game references at family gathering and no one gets it nor reacts.
