"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.
I love how everyone just agrees that Wolverine is actually a Kitty cat, and whoever thought it would be a great design to give this 200+ year old grumpiest crankiest honeybadger a cute little kitty ear hair have my utmost respect
Inspired by another meme and I had to.
War would have ended right there.
This is one of MARVEL’s MOST sexualized characters. EVER. Like his sexiness is a punchline we all know and love
But I feel like a lot of the times, we ignore the times Logan was SA on screen???
Mystique pretending to be Jean is one
Viper coming onto him in his sleep is two
And like???? NO ONE talks about how he copes with that
Idk if Logan even knows how to cope with that
But like, I think part of how he copes with it is a very common way SA victims tend to cope - and that’s hypersexualization of the SELF
He doesn’t know anything ELSE but that so he’s just kinda like “okay maybe that feeling will go away if I just…. Force it to.”
And the fandom ignores that he’s got SO many issues. Like dude is madly traumatized.
He needs THERAPY before a goddamn relationship
Idk I’m just rambling and I felt like this was important to notice.
Men can be victims of SA too.

I love this style of drawing!
companion piece to this drawing
"give will a haircut" is such a tired take. Will not getting a haircut is exactly what we need. Apocalyptic overgrown hair for the win
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.
morning fic concept........
Izzy finds a kitten that has snuck aboard the Revenge, during the Kraken era. Knowing Ed is in a Destory All Joy And Love state of mind, he keeps the kitty a secret and looks after it, with the intention of releasing it on shore when next they reach port (if they ever reach port again).
Of course, the rest of the Trauma Crew decide to get involved >:3c
Death Parade, Episode 11 - Memento Mori Music: Moonlit Night - Yuki Haiashi
Death Parade was a bit uneven as a show but had incredibly powerful episodes that went straight under your skin. This scene was a masterpiece but it had many of those. The stand alone episode Death Billiard is a good starting point. The show is no longer on Netflix as far as I can tell but I think it is on Crunchyroll and can also be bought on Amazon.
