Inspired by @inexplicifics "Your Kind of Heaven"
I don't feel as confident with computer drawing but at least I don't have to wrestle with the scanner to share it. Very much the first scene I wanted to draw when I started making notes for this story.
The Witcher and his Lark
Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Witcher (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Geralt z Rivii | Geralt of Rivia & Jaskier | Dandelion Characters: Geralt z Rivii | Geralt of Rivia, Jaskier | Dandelion Additional Tags: (the other wolves show up but only for one scene), there is notable violence but i don’t think it’s Graphic?, Flogging, Whump, Hurt/Comfort, in my heart this is pre-slash but there’s really no trace of it in the text Summary:
The magistrate of Whitehaven clearly prided himself on his impeccable sense of justice.
“You killed the beast, witcher,” he said, and produced a bag heavy with coin. “So we will keep our bargain. But you let it kill two of our people, when you were there and could have stopped it. For that, there must be justice. Blood for blood.”
final reblog! also I changed the title a day after posting it! which i’m pretty sure is a no-no but i just could not STAND the original title one second longer. it’s still the flogging fic, you didn’t miss anything.
if you like my writing, please feel free to contribute to my ko-fi! i’m disabled and can only work part time, so anything helps :)
Witcher - Inspired by @inexplicifics Wolfblood AU
Summary
Aiden’s been trapped in this hell for far, far too long. He longs for the days when he was happy at Kaer Morhen with Lambert and his clan. He misses his prickly Wolf terribly, but he has to finally admit to himself that his odds of ever getting home again are pretty fucking slim…
I did this pen and ink piece based on a scene from RebrandedBard's fic, Song of the Mockingbird. It's such a simple but well executed kind of fairytale, and I loved it so much! And this scene made me laugh, where Jaskier and the mockingbird yell at Geralt! I literally read it the day after it was published and wanted to do an old-style illustration for it... two months later, I'm calling it. I'll post some process work later, but I have to say, I enjoyed this immensely. Check out the fic if you haven't already!
I’m currently slogging away at another fic inspired by @inexplicifics Warlord AU and I threw in a young lady-in-waiting character and mentioned that she and Ciri got along well, and together with the Mantikittens, Milena, and Mouse, they formed their own little all-girl pack.
And while Ciri could probably handle almost any threat thrown at her, it wouldn’t do for her to go any non-Witcher court functions without bodyguards, and other nobles would think it quite strange if someone of her rank didn’t have numerous ladies-in-waiting, so why not have her bodyguards pose as her ladies-in-waiting?
Cue my brain imagining Ciri and her deceptively dangerous ladies-in-waiting rocking up to court functions in slow mo like O-Ren Ishii and the Crazy 88…
And then I wanted to do up the actual line up based on inexplicifics descriptions and had a go via the “Medieval Woman” dressup game on dolldivine.
Zia, Ada, teenage spymaster Liliana/Mouse, Ciri of course, Elena, Maja (her scars didn’t come up very well :/), and her only proper lady-in-waiting Milena, who’s looking a little more Monica Bellucci than Audrey Hepburn, but oh well. 😊
Now, we all know (or should) the voice acting legend who was Kevin Conroy, best known the definitive Batman for at least two generations, and who we lost last year.
Many of us also remember this amazing scene from the Justice League Unlimited cartoon where a hitherto unknown skillset of the Dark Knight Detective is revealed.
I mean... even years later... just.. WOW!
But did you know that Mr Conroy also recorded a separate, full length version of this song, and had it uploaded on his, now closed, website?
No, neither did I, until happened upon this...
In the immmortal words of Circe: "Beautiful!"
As the VJ started giving bullshit racist excuses about “narrow-casting” and making things more palatable for white 17 year olds in little towns, Bowie pressed even further and said, “Surely, [black artists] mean something to black 17 year olds. They are a part of America, too.” This goes on for several minutes and Bowie never lets up. Finally, after more bullshit from the VJ, Bowie says “Interesting…” The VJ thinking he may have won Bowie over says, “Yeah, valid point, right?” And Bowie corrects him with a ridiculing laugh and says, “No, I UNDERSTAND your point of view.” In other words, I understand you and MTV are a bunch of racists assholes. I highly recommend everyone find this video and see the entire exchange…and god bless that cameraman for getting that tight shot of Bowie’s “Bitch please” eyes
Oh my god, Bowie was having NONE of it. His entire demeanour was just unimpressed to put it very lightly. Also shout out to the camera person who thought the zoom in on Bowie’s face was needed because it totally was. Also here is the link for y’all to watch it. Please do:
this is a solid way to ally for white people, or other people in privileged groups. Just … politely pointing out the obvious. Not rubbing it in people’s faces, just asking a few pointed questions, giving people enough room to hang themselves, and then making them realize that they’ve put their foot in it. and letting that silence speak for itself.
All this bullshit newsprint black and white ain't got nothing on our technicolor, babe.
(And yes, I was smart enough to put up some shirt designs this year.)
The Witcher is yet again consuming my life
Drawing on the lute courtesy of @ceteiq. Thank you for sharing it!!
I wish you would write a fic where the Sheriff is the one bitten in the woods instead of Scott, leaving Stiles to help his dad make friends with the surly werewolf who can help them.
Oooooo I don’t think I’ve seen an AU like this before. So like, do Scott and Stiles get caught together, and both shoved off home, while the sheriff and his deputies keep searching the woods? Does the sheriff shoot the wolf before it bites him (or after)?
Does he go to Melissa to get the bite looked at, making sure he doesn’t need any shots, before he heads home? On a scale of one to ten, how MUCH does Stiles freak out when he sees that his dad got attacked by a WOLF? “There are no wolves in California, Dad!” “Oh for God’s sake, clearly there was just one. I’m fine.”
And obviously Stiles would be paying super close attention to this bite (because if his dad shows even the slightest hint of pain or infection, he is going to drag him to the ER SO FAST it’s not even funny) and so he would notice super early that this thing healed in, like, a DAY. And he saw that bite, okay? It was not a pretty bite. His dad should still be wincing when he lifts his arm over his head. And he is NOT. The bite is GONE.
Cue Stiles’s research spiral, and the extremely awkward conversation where he has to sit his dad down and say “So I think you might be a werewolf now.”
His dad is very much not impressed. The opposite of impressed, you might say.
They have a fight, Stiles ends up going to the party on the full moon with Allison and Scott (even though his dad told him he couldn’t), and that’s how the sheriff ends up in the woods, shifted, looking for his son because every instinct he has is telling him child in danger, find him now.
That’s when he gets shot at by hunters, THAT’S when Derek saves his ass, and that’s when the sheriff realizes that 1) he is in over his head and 2) he is too fucking old for this shit.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SUBMIT that the sheriff would be an awesome werewolf, because Derek would explain anchors once and he would be “oh my family.” Because this man is wearing his wedding ring for nearly 10 years after his wife dies, okay, Claudia and Stiles are his anchor and nothing you say will ever convince me otherwise.
And of course Stiles hangs around during their werewolf training because “screw you, this is my DAD, and I am 100% GOING TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS OKAY.”
Derek and Stiles snark at each other the entire time, but training still gets done, and they go out for dinner every night after. AND WE GET OUR WONDERFUL LITTLE AWKWARD FAMILY.
And on the plus side, despite all the wolf stuff and the hunters and having to take the day off every full moon, the sheriff gets to eat as many cheeseburgers and curly fries as he wants now, and Stiles can say nothing.
It’s a good trade-off, he thinks.
had to reblog this again to add, omg, can you imagine the events of Magic Bullet?
Derek getting shot and going to the Sheriff and Papa Stilinski is like “you were shot? Honey say what now?” and then like “okay, you need a bullet to cure it, I’m going to get you that bullet”
and just marching over to the Argent house with his badge and his handcuffs and being like “you have 30 seconds to produce that bullet or everyone in this house is under arrest, I’ll find something that will stick”
(Stiles waiting with Derek at the police station like “don’t worry, my dad will come through, he always comes through”)
poor Chris being like “well, you know, werewolves”
and Papa Stilinski showing his fangs and being like “tell me about it! Actually, yes, tell me all about it because something’s going on and I’m pretty sure your family is involved and by the way I know all about you smashing up Derek’s car windows for literally no reason other than being a jerk”
tl;dr Papa Stilinski laying down the law and looking good doing it
OH MY GOD YES.
Beautiful. Because he would have done his research first, all right, so he’d show up and give his ultimatum, and when they refuse, he’ll just be like “Okay, well, here are just a few of the charges I’m about to arrest all of you on. Someone called about gunshots going off last night, that’s disturbing the peace. I’ve got a report that you broke someone’s car window, that’s vandalism. And Miss Argent, I gotta say, running your name through our database brought up a frankly astonishing number of outstanding warrants.”
He gets the bullet he needs 30 seconds later, and sternly informs the Argents that if they touch so much a hair on the Hale kid’s head, they’ll be arrested so fast their heads will be spinning.
AND CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE THE LOOK ON DEREK’S FACE, when the sheriff walks into wherever he and Stiles have holed up (probably the Stilinski house, because somebody looking THAT BAD at the police station was making the deputies antsy about calling an ambulance). And Derek sees that, like, barely half an hour after he asked for help, help arrived to save him.
(And then they all get burgers for dinner, because healing a wolfsbane bullet requires a fuckton of energy. John is pleased to see that Derek’s appetite has returned.)
(THIS ALSO MAKES ME WANT SEASON TWO, because alpha!Sheriff versus Gerard. Just…imagine that for a little bit, okay.)
*fans self* Mark me down as scared and horny~
Papa Stilinski has a restraining order against him before he’s been in town for 24 hours. He’s like “gee, real sorry about your daughter, too bad she was a murdering psychopath, but the guy who killed her is dead so I see no reason for you to be in town, if you violate this restraining order in any way I will have you in jail so fast that your head spins”
“PS I can tell you’re dying of cancer so let me tell you right now that it will be a cold day in hell before I give you the Bite”
and of course there would be no kanima, because Papa Stilinski’s not stupid enough to bite someone as unstable as Jackson, so Gerard is basically left spinning his wheels in the mud, trying to threaten and intimidate the teenagers while Papa Stilnski is literally the least impressed person in the world
(bonus points if Peter tries to use Lydia to come back and Papa Stilinski is like “so, Alan, do you know any exorcists? Because this is not happening on my watch.”)
For @stetersecretsanta2021 and @a-mere-dream
I wrote a fic! Rated M, Omegaverse, Casino AU with fluff and pining and an eventual happily ever after!
Summary: Peter only has a few months left to prove his family’s hotel and casino business can still end up on top. He plans to save it by putting on his sister’s magnum opus, an ambitious holiday revue. He just needs a star.
Stiles is out of work and homeless, busking for his meals. When he’s discovered by Peter Hale, he has a choice to make: should he continue hiding his dynamic, or come out as a rare male omega and take his place on top of the city where dreams are made (and broken)?
Read, kudos, comment, reblog!
I made a thing! After meaning to make it for about a year!
tangled gave us so much, but mostly it gave us the beautiful and intense love of a horse and the man he is chasing in order to imprison
i personally believe that maximus was the former captain of the guard who was cursed into horse form pretty recently, and everyone’s having trouble adjusting to it.
like, he’s entitled to sick leave, he really ought to take a couple months to break the curse and come to terms with whatever the fuck just happened to him, but instead of embarking on a journey of self-discovery and healing he just keeps showing up to work. no one can get captain maximus to go on his fucking voyage of self actualization and fix the curse because he’s obsessed with catching flinn ryder. everyone really fucking hopes that when he finally catches this guy the curse might be broken anyway, but it isn’t.
he just keeps showing up to work. he glares at the stablehands until they saddle him up. everyone’s gone over the regulations a dozen times but there’s nothing there saying you’re not allowed to saddle and ride the captain of the guard if he makes you do it. his former second in command rides him around like ‘sir i really don’t know about this’ and he’s just like ‘are we going to catch some criminals or what.’
you can see in the movie that everyone in the royal guard defers to this horse. it’s absolutely because that’s their boss. and secondarily because now he’s two thousand pounds of percheron.
there is no evidence against this theory and you cannot prove me wrong.
Please do not use/repost my work anywhere! Reblogs are obviously allowed and very much appreciated, thank you :)
Ciri finds like the ugliest creature and makes it her pet
