Duality

Jaskier waits at night. (1.3k, kind of sad ☆ also on AO3)

Jaskier is not sleepy.

No, no, no. He is not sleepy no matter how much his head is drooping. The night is young, and he mustn’t fall asleep.

The chair digs into Jaskier’s bum uncomfortably, so he curls his legs despite the faint ache in his joints. The door to their inn room remains shut, the corridor outside quiet without the footsteps of a witcher returning. He strains his eyes open, keeping the frame of the door in his vision.

The hunt sounds dangerous from the too-brief description Geralt gave him in reluctance. He could get injured. He could need Jaskier’s help when he gets back bleeding half to death—but still insisting he’s fine, of course. Jaskier has not stayed with the witcher for long, but he knows better than to believe those lies.

He knows quite a lot about the witcher, even though Geralt never admits they are friends, even though they’ve only been traveling together for two years.

Or is it three years already? Four? Time flies when adventure awaits at every corner, and Jaskier loses track of the days between monsters and ballads.

But, yes, he knows a lot about Geralt. The subtle smile on his face when Jaskier tells a particularly cheeky joke, the silver glint of his hair in the shimmering morning light, the elegant stance when he readies for a fight, the sharp line of his jaw, the curve of his lips, the softness of them when he kisses Jaskier—

In his fantasies, at least. Jaskier shakes his head to chase away those unbidden thoughts. It’s truly too late and his mind is jumbled. Geralt cannot learn the thoughts he harbors. He tolerates Jaskier as it is, and this will certainly be the last straw.

Geralt would leave, if he learned how much Jaskier loves him.

And it’s not like the witcher hasn’t tried. At the beginning of their acquaintance, Geralt has sneaked away one too many times while Jaskier slept, being the quiet witcher he is. Or, he has also fled right after a hunt, leaving Jaskier in a room that was no longer theirs, not realizing until sunrise.

“That was…”
“A one-time thing.”

(You liar, Emma.)

I was inspired to revisit this scene when @sotangledupinit reblogged my other take saying “It’s like they’re in their own space”… so I tried to double down on that vibe here, like they’re in their own little world (and it’s getting kinda hot).

Please don’t tweet or repost this. Reblogging is totally fine and welcome, thank you!

We all know the classic Brennan-isms that he sprinkles in everywhere - you got your "hell yeah's," you got your "IN-credible's," you got your "buh buh buh's," but here's a shoutout to his other lesser appreciated sayings/habits:

-"give me a (insert type of check or saving throw), if you'd be so kind"

-use of the word "asunder"

-"you see that-"

-NPCs wordlessly exchanging quick nods to PCs and one another after the party makes a plan

-NPCs having undercuts/the sides of their heads shaved

-"jeeEEzus chrISt" when a fuckton of damage is dealt to an enemy

-"this dude is looking Fucked Up"

feel free to add any I'm forgetting I bet there are at least a couple

-"uh, yeah" whenever someone rolls so ridiculous high he has to get the gears in his head turning

-any time he's describing something and uses words I have never known to exist but they still

Welcome back to another episode of "I can't think of anything else except Dimension 20 right now". We obviously love all the characters Mr Lee Mulligan plays in D20, but here is a definitely-not-comprehensive and ever-expanding list of some of my favourite Brennan character archetypes, in no particular order...

Uhoh gang, Brennan's gone full feral: eg Bill Seacaster, Wretchrot/Baby, Master Ipskix

Look, man, I'm just a guy, ok? eg Gilear, John Feathers

I'm chill, but the darkness inside me isn't: eg Evan Kelmp, Tracker O'Shaughnessy

Mossbrow: Yes, Mossbrow gets a category all to himself, despite not even being a Dimension 20 character (you can see him here). He is a precious bean and he deserves it.

Amazingly supportive guardians/mentors: Too many to even list, thank you Brennan

Straight-up dunking on Elves: Every elf except, like, Sandra Lynn. If we're talking a sliding scale, Sandra Lynn is at a zero, and Telemaine is a 100.

(PS I have not watched every season or side quest so no spoilers thank youuuuu)

tumblr guide for new users:

1) there is no algorithm for your dashboard. can't stress this enough. your dashboard is in chronological order of posts and reblogs from people you follow. "based on your likes!" is a joke and they removed that feature in a week

2) because of the lack of algorithm, likes do nothing. if you want more people to see a post, you have to reblog it so it goes on your follower's dashes

3) the vast majority of posts on a person's blog tend to be reblogs. think 90% or so. some of those will have that person commenting on it, and more will have tags

4) comments stay on reblog chains, while tags only show up on your reblog of that post. it's kind of like a whisper voice. in either case, both op and the person you reblogged from see that in their notifications

5) tags don't go in the body of the post. writing "staying in #lasvegas" won't make it appear in the las vegas tag, it'll just look weird

6) it's totally normal to reblog and post multiple things in one day. it's normal to reblog the same post twice in a row. it's normal to have 100 posts+reblogs in a day. post limit (the total number of original posts and reblogs) for a single day is 250. you heard me. 250. go hog fucking wild

7) it defaults to having a visible likes tab on your blog (but only on your blog, not the dashboard) but most people toggle it off

8) "tumblr clout" is a fucking joke. no one can see your follower count, and no one makes money here. there are no influencers. enjoy not giving a shit about maintaining a public persona. it's all anonymous and your employers won't find you here

9) you're not expected to create a bio/carrd and in fact it often looks weird if you do

10) most people have varied interests and post about many different things, often right after one another. I, for example, post stuff about writing, sewing, about a dozen different fandoms, and anything that catches my interest.

11) actual personal information is rare, and usually only between two users who know each other.

12) Reblogs are encouraged, though it does make the post fucking long. (Often, though, long reblog conversations can turn into talking the the DMs and that's how you make internet friends, kids)

12b) long posts torture your followers, thus they are common and always inflicted upon everyone. Color of the sky will never die.

13) to reiterate, there is no clout. Popular users suffer because once a post breaches containment people will put all kinds of shit on it and that's before the fandoms get to it. Be cringe with no fear.

14) tags are both for public use and personal identification, most people have their own tags they use to keep track of their stuff, like #my writing or #sewing information. My personal favorite is #sebastian speaks about space pirates. Sky is the limit guys.

15) we all appreciate yet mildly mistrust staff.
