what’s the point? you’re born helpless, so you find strength and then that’s all they want you for, to use you, and you find love, but it isn’t real. it’s a wish someone made once before they even knew who you were, and you find power and it turns to ash in your hands

Ciri (to Geralt) : “You never gave me piggyback rides at Kaer Morhen. Vesemir was the only one willing.”
Ciri was sitting on the bearskin with Coën, tucked away in the far corner of the hall, and both were busy playing a hand-slapping game…. (Vesemir) fell silent and looked at Ciri, who with a joyful glee, acknowledged she had the upper hand in the game. Triss spied a small smile on Coën’s face and was sure he had allowed her to win - Andrzej Sapkowski (1994), Blood of Elves
I honestly adore the parts where young Ciri were training, playing or interecting with the witchers in Kaer Morhen. It is so adorablee

This has been chilling in my folder for 3 months. I finally had the patience to redraw her face three times, fix her teeni tiny hand and make her breasts not gigantic practice embroidery everywhere which was the original purpose of this drawing.
Included the original look of the character, as well as some step-work on character/ background. Because I am happy it is done.

Got this wonderful novel yesterday. I ordered it together with a dummy book that I needed for my optional creativity classes at college.
It’sThe Witcher: Blood of the Elves, but then in my mothertongue.
I again couldn’t help but take a picture with the first three novels in The Witcher novel series, which counts eight novels in total, and my The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt game.
I still can’t wait for Cornelia Funke’s Reckless IIII: Kitsune to be released in English, though. As well as the English hardcover edition of MirrorWorld(The Reckless Anthology), which is based on Cornelia Funke’s Reckless Ipad / Iphone app.

This arrived today, the second novel in The Witcher Saga. The Sword Of Destiny. But then in my mothertongue.
The cover’s so pretty… I definitely plan on getting all eight novels someday.

I’m very badly obsessed with this stuff.
Apparantely there’s also a Netflix animated The Witcher spinoff movie coming to Netflix, made by the producer which did the Netflix live - action series and the animation studios which made The Legend Of Korra. I never liked The Legend Of Korra nor The Legend Of The Last Airbender, but one could definitely sign me up for an animated The Witcher themed movie.
The title’s The Nightmare Of The Wolf, but its release date is unknown still.
I’m about half way through Baptism of Fire and I’m loving it.
The true fire here is the roasting of Geralt from everyone.
Why should I give up revenge? On behalf of what? Moral principles? And what of the higher order of things, in which evil deeds are punished? For you, a philosopher and ethicist, an act of revenge is bad, disgraceful, unethical and illegal. But I ask: where is the punishment for evil? Who has it and grants access? The Gods, in which you do not believe? The great demiurge-creator, which you decided to replace the gods with? Or maybe the law? […]
I know what evil is afraid of. Not your ethics, Vysogota, not your preaching or moral treaties on the life of dignity. Evil is afraid of pain, mutilation, suffering and at the end of the day, death! The dog howls when it is badly wounded! Writhing on the ground and growls, watching the blood flow from its veins and arteries, seeing the bone that sticks out from a stump, watching its guts escape its open belly, feeling the cold as death is about to take them. Then and only then will evil begin to beg, ‘Have mercy! I regret my sins! I’ll be good, I swear! Just save me, do not let me waste away!’. Yes, hermit. That is the way to fight evil! When evil wants to harm you, inflict pain - anticipate them, it’s best if evil does not expect it.
But if you fail to prevent evil, if you have been hurt by evil, then avenge him! It is best when they have already forgotten, when they feel safe. Then pay them in double. In triple. An eye for an eye? No! Both eyes for an eye! A tooth for a tooth? No! All their teeth for a tooth! Repay evil! Make it wail in pain, howling until their eyes pop from their sockets. And then, you can look under your feet and boldly declare that what is there cannot endanger anyone, cannot hurt anyone.
How can someone be a danger, when they have no eyes? How can someone hurt when they have no hands? They can only wait until they bleed to death.
