Somehow obsessed with those night scenes
So here is one more Geralt under the moonlight

Geralt was born a seal-brown, with the trials triggering a natural-ish greying process. This pic is some time beforehe meets Jaskier as he’s still got some baby brown and black.
He’slooselybased on the Percheron breed.
Oh wow, that’s lovely

I just finished Witcher s2 and I have thoughts. Once again, I bounced this off of @aplaceofnonsense, my enabler.
Me: Hey, remember that “Jaskier is immortal” theory I had from last year? I have to amend that. I don’t think he’s immortal.
Saph:…he’s not?
Me:He’s not immortal. He’s a dragon.
Saph:um…WUT
(Season 2 spoilers below the cut)
Me: This is a lot, so I’ll break it down.
The “Golden One” Story
- It was played as a joke that Jaskier slept through the dragon fight, but what if he was all “Borch got this fam I’m catching zzz’s”
- Who told Jaskier the story? The dwarves don’t like him. Borch was probs like “yeah, so here’s what happened, FUCKING MORTALS AMIRIGHT?!”
The Dress Code
- Borch wore this frankly obvious gold scale garb in the dragon hunt ep
- Jaskier wore this frankly obvious red scale, spiky garb in the same ep
- And then spends the entirety of season 2 cosplaying as a human dragon
- Hey look. He’s got scales going down his legs. Or are they leathery folded wings?
Literally Burning
- My boi singing his heart about about Geralt burning with steam (smoke?) coming out of his mouth. Sure, it’s cold in there (the set was outdoors in the winter) and he’s breathing pretty hard, but this happening on “BURRRRRNNNN” is too good. He’s also the only one that does this either above or in the sewers.
- Also, did that fire ever touch his finger? If it did, he’s fireproof cause there were no burns…Yenn couldn’t heal him and he used that hand just fine afterwards…
(pic from here)
Saph: So, he’s a red dragon?
Me: Well, the Witcher wiki says red dragons “can be prideful and aggressive, but also delightful conversation partners and debate competitors”.
Saph: OMG JASKIER IS A RED DRAGON
Dave, reading our convo: HOLD UP. If anything, he’s a silver dragon. Silver dragons LOVE telling stories, they love music, they’re flamboyant dressers, they can’t stop talking, they’re very curious…. The first thing Jaskier wants to do when Geralt breaks him out of prison is get a bath. Dragons are incredibly vain. Source: I played a silver dragon in a DnD campaign and did a LOT of research.
Me: (reading the Forgotten Realms DnD wiki) Yup Jaskier’s a silver dragon.
- Enjoys the company of humans and elves
- takes on the guise of kind and elderly humanoids or very attractive and young humanoids*coughJASKIERcough*
- waits for others to ask them for help (which Yenn and Geralt both do and Jaskier immediately agrees to help even though he’s angry)
- would attempt to right an injustice if they saw one (Sandpiper)
- interested in protecting the humans or elves it came to care for
- do not enjoy combat, but would own you if forced to fight
- have ice and gas abilities (is that steam from the cold or ICE BREATH while he’s angry singing?!)
Saph, Dave and Me: Dragon.
Me:Joey Batey is also a DnD nerd and is probaby doing this shit on purpose…and Valdo Marx is a rival dragon CHANGE MY MIND.
——————-
Edit: I can’t believe I forgot to include that Jaskier tells Yennefer he’s like the elves because he’s in the “other” category. Artist? LGBT+? Dragon? Yes ;)
My muse, @aplaceofnonsense, sent me this amazing art postby@craftgamerzz where Jaskier is playing with baby griffins while Geralt fights off their annoyed mother, and my mind immediately went to “Jaskier’s Babysitting Service”. So apparently I shitpost for this fandom, now. I am so sorry.
(go check out the OG art post!)
—————————————-
(FYI: “Destiny’s Bitch” spawned from our previous ridiculous convo and became an in-joke referring to Jaskier. Poor guy.)
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.
I’m obsessed with The Witcher!! I have no idea what to do with my self now that I have no more episodes to watch.
I think Geralt would have let Ciri put flowers in his hair
