“welcome to ruin” “let’s bury this” and “no no not I” or, as I like to call them, the holy trinity of joey batey growls
honestly dk if I’ve heard the “welcome to ruin” either that or I don’t know what ur referring to? would appreciate if someone would put links to these moments lol
~“Life is too short, do what pleases you, while you can.”
~I’ve heard it was Joey’s birthday so I had to draw our dear bard. I’m still sick and a little dizzy so this is the best I could do with the time limit I gave myself :D
And I’ve been raising a glass to every one of you. Which now means I’m v drunk.
Just wanted to drop in and say thank you. I’m not very good at the internet, but when we threw the album up last night Madeleine and I had no idea you lovely gang were hidden away here. And your response has made me, MH and Tom and all the Devil just combust. With all your heartfelt comments, your stories of what the songs mean to you, the easter-egg hunts (there are a few of em) and the unadulterated love you’ve sent back to us from the other sides of the wood… We are so happy other people out there feel what we do. Know how blashy the world can be, how hurtful the voices can howl and what it feels like to sit on the bathroom floor cos the mirror’s a scary place.
But reading what you’ve written and drawn and sung and painted. It’s made us feel like we’ve got devils in corners. Everywhere. Together. And that’s just shiny cap’n.
You are our everything, you new tumblings. Madeleine and I send you all our love.
Jx
P.S. Someone explain to me how to do AMAs on this thing and we might work up the courage.
P.P.S Not sure how to prove to you guys I’m not a fake account, so I’ve pinged new images to my header. It’s me I promise. x
You guys are adorable! It makes sense that your devil army would be hiding out on this hell site. If you’re taking a sip every time someone tells you how amazing you are, you’ll all be in the hospital by sunrise. Now go take care of yourselves and get some rest. You can read all the NSFW Witcher fanfiction when you’re sober.
you were supposed to be my light and keep me safe against them all how could you leave me here you’ll scream and louder i’ll scream back to you from that unknown and say i know you’re strong enough to do this on your own
So, that’s three songs off that album that could be for the Witcher…
Joey Batey: Hey guys, I’m doing this show where my character and the main female character both break up with this guy. We should write a ballad from their perspectives.
Rest of The Amazing Devil:
FYI, They were filming The Witcher from October of 2018 to March of 2019 per wikipedia. The song came out February of 2019. Coincidence? Or Destiny?

Joey:
With you I could summon the gods and the stars And we’d laugh at the ghosts of our fears We were kids.
Come at me you blaggards, you’d yell from the banks Wielding words against make believe wizards and tanks And by god, love, believe me I wanted to play too, I did.
But we sunk into water no creature could know You dragged us both into the darkness that grows Our devils broke ranks And out of the depths came an army.
I won’t let you turn our last night into this Gonna binge watch a box set, drink wine, reminisce This isn’t a breakup, dear heart, it’s the season finale!
—————————————————————-
Madeleine:
Come on love, please don’t start Sing your notes, play your part And you’ll leave We were gods.
Come at me you blaggards, you’d yell From the back of the gallery Say goodbye
I am not a drunkard, a daughter, a creature, god knows How you dragged me along To watch all of your shows Oh dear god
I won’t leave without a fight I’m gonna binge watch a box set, drink wine, reminisce This isn’t a breakup, dear heart, it’s the season finale!

(this is only a snippet of the lyrics. Turn on closed captions and follow along. It may take a few tries)
This started as a joke between me and @aplaceofnonsense in our Discord group, but it’s grown into a psuedo-headcanon. We have concluded that Jaskier is either the physical embodiment of Destiny or he’s the Slavic equivalent to the god Pan.
—————————————-
The convo:
Saph: With Jaskier being human and Geralt aging slowly, he’ll have to watch him get old and die and now I’m sad…
Me: I’ll laugh my ass off if it turns out if he’s secretly immortal and more powerful than any of them, but doesn’t tell them because he just wants to sing xD
Saph: …what?
Me:What we know about Jaskier:
He hasn’t aged a day in the decade-plus Geralt’s known him
With his penchant for getting in trouble, how has he survived this long?
He and Geralt aren’t always traveling together…
…but when they do, Jaskier’s the reason behind Geralt being in “the right place at the right time” to meet his destinies (Yen and Ciri)
Jaskier dragged him to the ball where he evoked the Law of Surprise
Jaskier got injured down the road from the only mage that could save him (Yennefer)
what was Jaskier doing in the area, anyway?
he literally came out of nowhere just to be a catalyst in their meeting
This dude is the embodiment of Destiny
Meanwhile, Geralt’s over there thinking Yen and Ciri are his destiny, while actual Destiny is huffing in the corner
But what if he’s Pan?
I mean, he’s musical, likes the sex and is a fun-loving guy
and he’s pansexual (Joey Batey said he falls in love with everyone)
The possibilities are hilarious!
——————————–
Geralt, learning Jaskier is immortal: Why didn’t you mention this?!
Jaskier: Didn’t seem important…
Jaskier: Btw, I’m writing a new tune, have a listen–
——————————–
Yennefer, being emo: Do the gods hate me?!
Jaskier: Yes–I mean what?
——————————–
Additional headcanon: Roach is the only one who knows about Jaskier.
Imagine,Welly Boots (TAD), but it’s sung by Maglor (/ Maedhros?) and about Elrond & Elros!!!!!!
(my favorite pastime: pretending that tad songs are about the silmarillion)
the whole “awake awake” thing has the vibes of an abrupt change; eg. get up now because we’re in danger, + a storm is coming on = the battle between the valar & morgoth and the resulting Events that cause the separation of e&e and m&m
maedhros pov — he’s, yk, not alive, but he’s watching over the children and reminds them to be kind despite their hardship, just like he did
i know this is supposed to be a witcher reference BUT SHUT UP IT’S MAGLOR LOOK AT THIS HE LITERALLY LEAVES FOR THE COAST AND HE SINGS BUT THEY CAN’T HEAR HIM AAAAAAA
maglor again — need i explain more??
both of them this time… elrond and elros don’t know how much they are loved :(((((
STOP I’M GOING TO CRY
elrond, years later… everyone from his upbringing has left him
you know all those illustrations of maglor singing(/screaming) in a storm by the sea? anyway maybe elrond connects maglor to storms
this is now heavily deviating from canon BUT WHAT IF MAGLOR LEAVES LITTLE THINGS AROUND FOR ELROND IN PLACES HE FREQUENTLY GOES TO
