Jaskier’s Fear

bug fairies yknow I decided might as well post original drawings too

I thought I might as well post my Star Wars stuff here too, so have some Chiss children. I like to imagine the chiss have traditional wear made to withstand extreme cold. They've been underground on Csilla for a while, so the traditional wear could be reserved for like some ceremonies or holiday celebrations that involves going back to the surface (festivals maybe?). Off-worlders use it for the colder months.

Pompoms and little appliques on pouches and coats are popular for kids, with animals and snowflakes designs being very popular. That one on with the stick is a young Thrawn, who insisted to have the expansionary defense fleet logo on his coat. I also like to think he would still have his snowflake pouch and he wears it at the belt on his current traditional outfit.

okay new ask game. what's your ethnicity and can you slav squat (squat directly down with your heels touching the floor).

Why does every Thrawn artist draw his hands so well??? What dark power is this? Are you afraid he'll analyze your art and see your weaknesses?? Are you just hand kink people?? What is happening???

You guys think Hellboy and Geralt would get along? I think they would. I mean, they’re both dry-humored monster hunters who get fucked up by destiny or whatnot (and they try really really hard to avoid said destiny, with varying success)

I am presently part of circuit class and it helped remind me of a specific attribute of silver.

Silver is the most conductive metal on earth. Witchers carry a full, 1m+ bar of it sheathed on their back.

If electricity works about the same on the continent as it does in the real world, I think that it would affect Witchers, in some way. Imagine this: fellow stopped by the side of the road to fight some nekkers in the middle of the rain, just to get himself struck by lightning when he dared raise his sword. Though luck surviving that.

It reminded me Geralt hate storms in the games. (as in he always calls out when they start and sounds positively annoyed at them), so what about a hc/AU thingy about Witchers fearing electricity?

By fear, I mean full-on rejection and avoidance of everything that has to do with electricity. I imagine that half-inspired to prevent scenarios like the one presented above, and half by their own personal fear of it, the schools would encourage their students to be scared.

The young ones learn quickly about the dangers of electricity. All are forced to touch a statically charged object with their finger at least once, to distinguish what being shocked feels like, what your hair sticking up with static feels like. The kids are then thought, both by education and the adult’s obvious revulsion, to absolutely hate both.

I would imagine, since corporeal punishment was used in keeps, that one of the punishments would be to make a student touch a charged object again. But the instructors hate electricity as much as the students, so it was a rare one.

Lightning storms in keeps are a nightmare. Everyone can’t sleep and no one wants to go higher than the first floor. The keeps are fully reinforced with ceramic, glass, and magical lightning rods but that does not stop the resident’s agitation in any way.

The younger ones are all scared of thunder and the cracking sound of electricity. The older ones are too, they are just better at hiding it. Witchers can withstand these sounds and the visual of it, but if it gets too close, they can’t stop themselves from backing away several feet, flinching or startling.

Horror stories for Witchers tell of their kin being paralyzed by lightning until they slowly died of starvation while the decomposers ate them whole. Of bad children whose skin turned to silver when they misbehaved, then kicked out in the pouring rain. Of sorcerers who torture you slowly with lightning magic.

On the Path, Witchers will hide themselves deep into caves when a thunderstorm rages outside. The sheath of their swords is lined with natural rubber, ceramic, or glass. This I think would be interesting to explore because rubber is native of oriental countries. Technically speaking the sheath would be as, if not more expensive than the sword to make because of importation alone. And both Ceramic and glass have like, a tendency to break? How would it be put onto a sheath, so it does not? Magical glass/ceramic? Sounds expensive as well. Witchers may have to recycle their sheaths like people did book covers before print.

Also did you know some oils have a decent resistivity? Witchers like theirs oils, so I recon they would have one for that too. I’d becon if they’re pretty agitated, they would go as far as to pour some on their heads.

And think of boots; the could have soles made specially to reduce direct conductive contact with the ground. The soles would also be a bitch to make, I reckon, so these need to be recycled as well. Maybe some Witchers are also uneased by the idea of walking bare-feet or without their Special Soles because of the little comfort it offers that you’re less attractive to lightning.

I’d actually thought of a little scenario where ciri shocked Geralt’s hand as an innocent joke. He immediately flinches away at the contact and scurries a few feet. The girl’s very confused as of why her guardian reacts so strongly to it, but the weird, almost fearful face he gives her makes her agree never to do it again.

Another is when it’s her first year in Kaer Morhen and a thunderstorm starts. She’s pulled out of bed by her guardian, who leads her downstairs to join the others. The Wolves huddle together in a corner while the thunder roars outside. Ciri notices how every strike makes Geralt’s fingers around her shoulder twitch. How the men all appear on edge, even Vesemir. She fell asleep somewhere in the night, to wake in the same corner as before. The Witchers have all remained. They do not appear to have slept at all. There was no training session that day.

Lambert is one of those Witchers who’s very uncomfortable walking around without his boots. Both Eskel and Geralt had become agitated by electricity enough to pour oil on themselves some few times. I’d Imagine Geralt poured some on Ciri too when they just begun to travel together and hence Geralt was very stressed about keeping her safe. Eskel is also a bit wary of sorcerers because sorcerers potentially means lightning magic.

Wow I thought I was the only one who had to deal with the door thing! The attic door of our house is a small door that’s extremely similar to the one in Coraline.

It was in my room when I went to see the movie.

Let’s just say little me had nightmares for weeks and it’s at least half the door’s fault

this movie is so fucking creepy jesus fuck

I was really happy to see people liked the chiss children so have more of baby Thrawn having fun in the snow. Plus a rendition of how the adult equivalent of the traditional wear would look like on Thrawn (he has his snowflake pouch of course!). I know it's somewhat been debunked but I will die on "the chiss are a long haired culture" hill.

(also wanted to say sorry for how muddy some of the lines look, my eraser has been acting up recently and idk why :/)

Love these additions, especially the Lambert one!

Do you guys care for some really bad shitposts? Dosen’t matter, I sketched some and took bad pictures of them anyway.

Plus a pencil drawing of Jaskier wearing “Armor”, or as close to armor as he’ll get`: A Freya Warrior’s armor redesigned to fit his style.
