Bounce a Coin Off Your Witcher

—- —- —-

Henlo friends in The Witcher fandom!

I know I’ve shown up rather late to this fan space, but I’ve developed a nasty Geraskier brainrot recently and, well… you see what happened.

Will I draw more Witcher nonsense? Absolutely.

Also, I designed his adorable little doublet myself, complete with buttercup embroidery.

I love how as a society we have all agreed that if a character dies and comes back to life they’re hair is gonna turn white :)

Examples

Jason Todd (DC Batman)

Danny Phantom

Wilbur and Tommy (Dream Smp)

Shiro (Voltron)

Geralt (Witcher .... I dunno probably??)

Yue (Avatar the last Airbender )

Gandalf ( Lord of the rings - literally goes from grey to white )

Jack Frost (Rise of the Guardians)

Darth Vader (pre 2004 goes from bald to white hair “Force Ghost”)

I’m probably missing some...... hhhmmmm

Witcher fanfic

“Butch” and “butcher” sound a lot alike and Getalt has always been one to take things the wrong way

I'm sorry (no I'm not), but all about Jaskier screams "I'M GAY"

Witcher S3 really said…

Promiscuous womanizer is pansexual (great characterization; absolutely not a stereotype)

Said womanizer has random, unnecessary romance with a genocidal maniac who would murder all his friends if given the chance

Most powerful sorceress on the continent commits suicide, sometimes a flower is just a flower, etc., bc Scorned Woman (TM)

Woman rebellion leader learns practicality way too late from Random Capable Man with no relation to the plot

Powerful sorceress abandons family to save other sorceresses only to be saved by murderous misogynist and the power of racism

…bc the books needed better representation. Ok.

Ugh, is Season 2 ready yet. Need me some tasty Geralt in my life 🤤

Geralt

The Witcher

Love these additions, especially the Lambert one!

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.

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.

Pictures are captioned if you can’t read my handwriting

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.

Hello there, may I share an AU/drabble of sort concerning Lambert!

So, while lurking I learned Paul Bullion can play the guitar. Inspired by that, what if Lambert gets a guitar while on the path? (Or perhaps something else. I believe they were around at that time period but I could be wrong?? I’ll go with the guitar for now.) 

In my mind he got it while hanging around Novigrad. He was just looking at a music stand out of curiosity and the vendor told him something like “Go away, Witcher you’re scaring my customers! What’s a witcher gotta do with instruments?” To which Lambert takes offence, tells him to go fuck himself and stomped to the music vendor on the opposite side of the street to buy the nearest instrument. To prove a point.

The guitar is forgotten for a little while. He just hauls it around in its case as he goes from contract to contract. He owns it for about a year or two before he considers scrapping it or reselling it

That was until Eskel comments on it. He dosen’t understand why Lambert carries around a guitar when obviously he would never learn to play it. He tells Lambert just that as they reunite one winter.

Lambert’s response is to rush back out of Kaer Morhen to a bookstore before the snow comes in. He buys himself a manuscript on how to play guitar and he starts to learn right as he comes back to the keep. Eskel’s not about to tell him what he can and can’t do. 

He practices over the winter and it all sounds quite horrible. He only plays in his room when he’s certain no one’s listening.

Come next winter he’s not an expert but he’s passable, and of this the Witcher is proud. His plan to show off to Eskel was forgotten and he kept on playing in his room. He might of started to enjoy it at some point, but he wouldn’t tell anyone that.

One day he stops by Oxenfurt and buys himself a second manuscript, full of new music for him to play. He’s trying to figure one of them out when some man he never met walks up to him. 

The guy is a bard, he learns, and an absolute asshole. A complete elitist who belittles him for how he plays and his little knowledge in the classics. Lambert would love to shut him up, really, but he dosen’t understand a single thing the man is saying. 

He ends up punching him unconscious and storming off. Another book is bought, on music theory, before he leaves the city.

Lambert would love to learn this music theory thing and shove it in that bard’s face. Thing is, he’s a casual player and some music theory is a lot harder to learn on your own than it is to learn how to play an instrument.

So he’s really pissed off to admit he cannot put the bard in his place. Enough he stops playing around humans altogether.

Until he meets Jaskier, whom he refuses to even talk to at first because of his previous encounter with a bard.

But Jaskier is intent on befriending Lambert the second Geralt mentions he plays the guitar. Because why would he not? A witcher that shares a skill with him was bound to be interesting!

No time is wasted on trying to talk to Lambert about music. He asks him multiple times to listen to him play. Every single time, the young witcher tells him to fuck off and locks his room’s door behind him. Jaskier even tried to trade his share of pie (plus Gertalt’s, though he wasn’t aware of this) to just hear one song.

Lambert eventually succumbs to his annoyance and lets him in his room while he practices one afternoon.

Jaskier just sat himself in a chair like he lived there his entire life, took out his lute and asked what they were playing.

Before he knows it, the bard shows up in Lambert’s room whenever he practices. Sometimes they play together, others it’s just Lambert while Jaskier writes. He gave really good pointers to help the witcher play. He even went as far as to teach him a bit of music theory when Lambert asked.

Lambert learned the basics, but also that he didn’t care to learn anything more than that. So he gives the book to Jaskier, music theory was forgotten and they went back to playing and writing.

Winter had progressed quite a bit when Jaskier convinced Lambert to practice in the library instead of his room.

Vesemir said nothing at first. If he happened to also be in the library, he would go about his business. Sometimes, when Vesemir was reorganising the bookshelves, Lambert could hear the rustle of books stop for dozens of minutes. He didn’t think much about it.

After a week they were relocated to “the sitting room”, which the witcher swore didn’t exist before. The old witcher played dumb when confronted about it.

Eskel was the next to discover the room. Jaskier could see him pass by through the small opening in the door. He would lean himself against the wall, stand there for a while and then go about his buisness. Geralt started doing it too shortly after.

It’s uncertain when Lambert became comfortable with the idea to play in front of his family, but Jaskier was probably to blame. Two winters of playing in the sitting room had passed when one evening he broke into song after supper (as he often did). Lambert just stood up, left, came back with his guitar and accompanied him.

After that, whatever form of secrecy surrounding music and Lambert just dissolved. They often played for the other wolves.

Jaskier, Lambert had decided, was not a bad man. Enough so he mentions the asshole bard to him one day. Somehow, some way, just by the brief description Lambert gives him, he immediately recognises the man to be Vlado Marx.

So there came a plan. Once it was spring, they parted with a promise to meet in Oxenfurt during the summer.

Jaskier arrives a week or so before Lambert to produce a band permit for “The Northern Harpies”. They found Vlado Marx playing on a stage in the streets and set up close enough to be a distraction but far enough, so they were not breaking any rules and begun to play.

They annoy the man for over a week by just stealing all his crowd. The fact they got a lot of coin in the process was a bonus

Since then, Lambert and Jaskier play together almost every time they meet and refer to each other as bandmates with a bit of humor.

That was the idea! Sorry if any of it is ooc, I haven’t interacted with Lambert much in the games yet.

Other things that would be cool, but I could not fit in this:

 Lambert and Jaskier arrange a duet version of Toss a Coin and harass Geralt with it.

They enter a barding competition as The Northern Harpies a joke and win.

 Eskel finds the Geralt harassment funny. Then Lambert tells Jaskier about Eskel’s adventures. A song is made. Eskel dosen’t think it’s funny anymore.

They can’t ever agree on what vibe(tm) The Northern Harpies should have, so their experimental phase is never-ending.

Sad little pixels

Geralt is convinced that he only helps Jaskier out and keeps him out of trouble because the consequences are much worse.

He wants to fuck a lady or lord in wedlock? Tried that (more than) once and Geralt had to take down a pack of seven drowners to convince the spouse to keep Jaskier alive.

He makes sure Jaskier puts dry clothes on after a fall in a lake? That’s because a sick Jaskier is so so bad and somehow even with a sore throat he talks more.

But eventually the annoyance fades and slowly, so slowly, time softens the doting he does without much thought. Geralt keeps Jaskier warm even before he complains. Geralt steps in front of Jaskier so he won’t scream.

Someone points it out, eventually. Ciri, probably, but when she asks him why he treats Jaskier like a lover, Geralt almost throws himself off the mountain’s side. It’s ridiculous and he has just gotten used to caring for this helpess and annoying creature that has latched onto him and refuses to shake off.

Geralt doesn’t stop taking care of him.

And if he can’t find the contempt that was there before? Well that’s not for anyone else to know.
