Missionary So They Can Keep Arguing

It makes me angry how cute the baby seal is. Absolutely furious and shaking with rage.

another heavy handed symbolism moment: my mom has a potted sunflower in the kitchen. because it is a sunflower, it keeps turning towards the light from the window. my mother keeps rotating it so it faces inward because she wants "to see its beautiful petals and have it really brighten up the space!" . the sunflower is visibly wilting .

Came Back Wrong dark!fic with Izzy getting revived after a month underground

only it's told from Ed's perspective

and you don't know if Izzy actually came back wrong or if Ed is just unable to accept that there's a happy ending here/is trying to convince himself this isn't HIS Izzy so he doesn't have to actually put in the work to properly apologise and make amends/is freaking out because Izzy is starting to critically think about everything Ed did to him and realising that, no, he didn't deserve to be abused like that, and Ed cannot handle the thought that Izzy might CHOOSE to leave him and would be in the right to do so -

I want Ed spiralling deeper and deeper into uncertainty, questioning his own judgement, leaping to wild conclusions, spying on Izzy to try and compile evidence, the works!

And then you have Izzy - who's either slowly coming to terms with the fact that what Ed did to him and the crew was never Izzy's fault, and starting to put distance between him and Ed because he wants to return to his real family, the crew... OR WHO LEGITIMATLY CAME BACK WRONG AND THE TWISTED THING WEARING HIS BODY IS TRYING TO MENTALLY DESTROY ED

But we as the audience don't know and Ed sure as fuck doesn't~

>:D

"Jaskier teaches the Witchers how to accept affection and soft touches" headcanons are so 2020, and they always paint the Witchers as inept, uncivilised or animalistic. Silly, stupid Witcher can't do the most basic, human thing, and that is to show love. It leaves a bitter taste in my mouth and I wish it was relegated to early naïve fandom where it belongs.

How about the Witchers showing Jaskier what real love looks like - platonic and romantic? Jaskier has a superficial understanding built from fantasy, yet it's still somehow chained to the requirements of his society and background. Jaskier doesn't know how to love in any way other than how his society has taught him is acceptable, and he leaves broken hearts in his wake because he can't even do that bit right.

I think it's time to explore how Witchers know damn well how to express affection between themselves, but humans are just a whole different ball game. Humans are unreliable, flighty, mired in politics and societal prejudices that Witchers simply Do Not have space for. Witchers know the meaning of love and they know the meaning of loss, which makes their love for each other all the more powerful.

I'm going to love you even though I know I could lose you tomorrow, because life is short, and cruel, and you're a light in the darkness.

Geralt, Eskel and Lambert embrace readily. They express fondness for each other. They rough house, drink and laugh. Depending on what you ship, it's plausible their first intimate experiences were with each other. Because who else are you going to explore that with in a deadly military boot camp where you're treated as less than dirt? Where there's every likelihood that the only soft touch you get is a forehead bonk under threadbare covers?

They all have a complex relationship with Vesemir, but the foundation? It's love. Be that fatherly, or as a mentor, or respect as a fellow Witcher.

Witchers know how to love. They love fiercely, readily, and in their own way. But you have to earn it.
