jim lost a sparring match so clearly they have to bully the old man in retaliation a piece for my #happyizzyapril project on twt
Devastated doesn't even cover it.
I'm never trusting a cishet writer of queer people again.
For someone who had given up on being happy, of being whole. For someone who only existed for someone else because there was no reason to be alive (I certainly wasn't worth anything beyond the service I could render to others), Izzy Hands gave me hope that it was never too late to be your true self.
He found love, acceptance, and he was beginning to take those tentative few steps towards being whole. He didn't need Ed. He was worth something all on his own.
And they killed him.
They killed the old, disabled queer who had lived a hard, lonely life where his only purpose was to be someone's loyal attack dog, and was finally finding happiness, a family.
"It's about belonging."
"This is a story about queer love, about queer joy."
But not if you're old, disabled, battling with the scars the world has left on you, had to do things to survive. The best you can hope for is to apologise to your abuser and then find peace in death.
Queer joy is only for the right kind of queer.
Steve: Joined the army. Willingly allowed Erskine to give him the serum. Choose his death instead of coming up with another option (er.. escaping before the crash..)
Bucky: Was drafted into the army. Experimented on and given the serum. Fell to his ‘death’.
The way these two characters fit together. Steve is about choices and bucky is about a lack of choices. like don’t even get me started on Bucky’s muzzle vs Steve’s helmet. Bucky’s weaponry choice vs Steve’s shield. Like they’re clearly soulmates okay.
here in the storm, i found peace in you
Evidence:
jaskier: is the white hair part of your cutagens
geralt: what the fuck did you just say to me
the worst part of the second round of trials the mages put Geralt through actually came after the fact.
he lost his human ears. his ear holes moved up his head and he grew actual wolf ears over them, but his old ears were cut off once he was awake and concious for it.
he grew a tail. once they were sure it was done growing, they strapped him down to a table and cut it off. he was awake for that too. the damage to his nerves was so bad, the instructors went behind the mages backs and got an exile from aretuza to reverse the removal of his tail. he doesn’t let anyone touch it.
he grew dogteeth. the mages pulled out the smaller ones so newer, larger ones would replace them. Geralt’s mouth aches for years. he can’t speak through them, he cuts his tongue trying to talk, can’t open his mouth enough to chew, can’t stop his jaw from shaking, can’t sleep for the bone deep pain at the slightest movement of his mouth.
his jaw trembles when he cries.
when he grew furry swathes over his chest, belly, and back, the mages tried strapping him down and skinning him. again, awake and given nothing for pain. Vesemir, who did not particularly care for children at the time, charged into the room before they could pull their knives from the cleansing fire and killed them.
Geralt flinches when anyone tries to touch him, even in simple affection, for over a century.
so. when Geralt is through all of his changes and emerges a witcher juvenile, the first of this new witcher-kind, he takes to standing guard outside the trial room and keeping the mages at bay. holds both his swords, annointed in Hanged Man’s Venom, between the remaining mages and the helpless boys beyond. he cannot stop them from making more witchers, but there will not be another like him.
Eskel is the one to tell him that they will begin putting more boys through secondary trials after Geralt reaches maturity and is sent on the path and cannot interfere. they even have a specific boy in mind to start.
Geralt packs up his things, sneaks into the pups’ room, and steals Lambert away into the mountains just before dinner. Eskel covers for them. not that anyone notices the disappearance of two children with Kaedwen’s army making it’s way up the Killer.
and after the pogrom, Geralt and his stolen brother return to the keep, and find Eskel and Vesemir. with no mages to uphold pretenses for, they form a family to survive. Geralt grieves their lost brothers, doesn’t say he’s glad the knowledge of the second trials was lost in the chaos on the sacking, but Vesemir doesn’t need him to.
and if Lambert favors Geralt, clings to his brother well past the age any boy would otherwise, looks to him for protection from nightmares and monsters alike, for approval of his choices on the Path, and love in spite of them at times, well, Vesemir isn’t in a position to do anything about it.

[id: left to right: childhood versions of lambert, eskel, and geralt, laying under a tree in midday sun. geralt and lambert are leaning on eskel, who is leaning against a tree trunk. all three are asleep. /end id]
I like how Cahir’s chosen murder attire was a slutty off the shoulder sweater. Like “bro will definitely invite me into his chambers if I expose enough clavicle” lmao
granted i havent read lotr since i was 13 but the way legolas joins the fellowship always cracks me up, like hes literally a prince but they sent him as a messenger to basically tell the council like "whoopsiedoodles we fucked up and gollum is gone, that's what you get for entrusting him to the party elves of mirkwood you know how we get" and he feels SO bad he joins this super deadly quest like imagine you're thranduil and you're like "hey son can you go to elrond's house and tell him we fucked up royally" and your son is like sure pops can do but then you don't hear from him for like two months so you call elrond like hey e-dog what's good have you seen my son. and elrond is like. well i dont know how to tell you this but he went on a homoerotic voyage to the most dangerous place on earth. id be so mad
I honestly feel like nobody in lotr mentions how fucking weird Legolas is. He stays up pacing the floor and singing to himself in the dead of night. He deadass stares straight into the tree line in the absolute pitch black when no one else can see anything. He yells goodbye to a river he has heard about in songs. He's so strange and not one character mentions it AT ALL. I absolutely love him.
inspired by @ellliemilller, i'm not half as good as you at this but i had an idea so i thought why not
Din, pointing: May I sit there?
Paz: That's my lap
Din: That doesn't answer my question, Paz.
Don't go where I can't follow

Inspired by another meme and I had to.
War would have ended right there.
Jaskier: *singing about the conjunction and using specific names*
Everyone: “There goes Jaskier, making his characters again”
Vesemir (who knows the actual story of the conjunction and how Witchers were made): “bitch what the ACTUAL FUCK?”
Not someone saying Steve and Robin as Team Rocket, i can't-
Prepare for trouble!
And make it double!
To protect the love of queerish friends!
To unite allies in laughish dumb ends!
To denounce the issue of the Heteronorm!
To extend our love in platonic form!
Robin!
Steve!
Team Rocket has feelings and talks while high!
Surrender now, and prepare to cry!
Am I the only person who genuinely liked Blood Origin? I haven’t seen anyone say anything good about it online which sucks because it was a genuinely good origin story for Witchers, though I do agree it was a bit rushed, I need more than 4 episodes of this story (but that’s just because I would genuinely watch a full series of this and not because I’m shitting in it like everyone else seems to be)
Lambert sucks at flirting. But he still tries with Aiden. Next time they are sparring, without their shirts on Lambert decides to try again.
Lambert: *reaching out to stroke aidens stomach* "you got a nice form, really great abs"
Aiden: (a cat witcher, with cat instincts.) *bites the shit out of Lamberts hand*
