Modern AU: The annual company party is getting close, and Geralt’s team in the Accounting department have been wondering something for some time about the tacirturn man.
“Sitting on his porch the next Sunday while nursing a mug of
coffee, he takes a moment to wonder what exactly he’s done in life to
end up here: watching over a seal lounging in a bright pink children’s
pool that’s really too small for him, sunglasses on because of a
too-enthusiastic exploration of human alcohol the night before. It’s a life Geralt would never have even thought about living a month ago.”
Go read this fic if only for the scene of Geralt meeting Jaskier when he’s passed out on his couch in seal form. It cracks me up
1. Jaskier joins a special choir! No its people worshiping sirens. The final test of faith is they get fed to said sirens.
2. Group of astronomers. They think that Melitele is going to take them on a flying boat and take them on a trip amongst the stars. No they are tripping on herbs and mushrooms in the middle of the woods at night.
3. Living lightly: “honestly Geralt i thought youd support this one, you always insist i have too much stuff. No the leader is just robbing his followers, and geralt has to intimidate him into giving back the elven lute.
4. pyramid schemes… oh sweet Melitele so many damn pyramid schemes.
5. a new fitness regime. Normally geralt loves the idea of jaskier working on his health. however this particular one is extremely unhealthy, has no real science to it, and a hungry jaskier is a scary jaskier.
+ 1. the order of the white flame is taken down by jaskier burning down its entire settlement, and destroying their entire belief system by writing an entire song cycle ripping it apart. No racism on jaskiers watch thank you very much.
(geralt has to prevent his feral little bard from becoming blood thirsty, its one thing to burn down a settlement, its another to attempt to beat their hate filled leader to death with nothing more than his fists and pure rage).
Actually, I love coming into contact with cis people who have said trans people have taught them how to love who they are, and what their gender means to them. It’s so heartwarming.
I love talking to cis men who say that trans men have taught them what being a man truly entails, that manhood isn’t a predestined book written by the gods. That has taught me how to love being a man and, honestly, just seeing positive manhood being shared and celebrated has brought me closer to cis men I thought wouldn’t ever accept me. It’s taught me the opposite is often true.
As someone who is currently figuring out where they are between cis, nonbinary and trans I just want to thank all my beautiful trans siblings who make me feel so at ease on where I will end up. You are so beautiful and I love you all so much
This is Wild Frank (or Frank de la Jungla) and this man is a fucking hero. He’s been involved in a lot of legal battles because he makes a habit of stealing fucking tigers from billionaires in Thailand and helping them get rehabilitation to get back to the wild. Governments hate him, poachers hate him, but in my country this guy is the face of animal freedom.
Transcript: “This might sound like a hot take, but I feel like the Internet’s obsession with uniqueness is causing legitimate brain rot in some people.
There’s no reason why something like mental illness, for example, should be turned into this commodity where you like, get internet points or social currency by being different.
It’s like, by trying to break the stigma, we’ve just come full circle, where now nobody knows what the hell any of these words actually mean.
So when you explain what a panic attack is, people are like "Oh, like that’s like actually really scary.” & “Not something I just experienced when I couldn’t get Taylor Swift tickets”.
And I know this is going to piss some people off so just brace yourself, but I see it the most in fellow white people - Especially people that are like upper-middle-class.
Look, I’m just gonna say it: whiteness gives us access to everything but oppression. That’s the one thing we can’t colonize. So what do we do? We turn oppression into social currency - Because we know if there’s one thing we can do, it’s make money off of something that doesn’t belong to us.
And before the people that grew up on a cul-de-sac start to get offended in my comments, actually listen to what I’m saying: Don’t intentionally misconstrue it because you want to be oppressed. Just be happy and lucky you aren’t.“
i know most of the “jaskier is super powerful secretly” content comes from netflix fans and there’s nothing necessarily wrong with that kind of content. HOWEVER. it has always bothered me because there’s an implication in those works that jaskier must be powerful to have value to both geralt and the narrative, which goes directly against the message the books go out of their way to nail into you every 5 seconds and that is that jaskier is incredibly useless in most ways and even sometimes a hindrance but geralt keeps him around because he values and cares for him so much that jaskier being with him makes geralt’s life more tolerable
Ozai is so pathetic, like that “take his bending away haha he’s harmless now” trick would never have worked on Zuko, if you took his bending away he’d just grab his swords and come at you twice as hard, Azula doesn’t have swords or anything but she’s pretty good at hand to hand and amazing at talking her way out of problems, Iroh bust himself out of prison with no bending at all, meanwhile Ozai? Gets his bending taken away and then just collapses, doesn’t even try anymore, then just sits in prison and tries to get into Zuko’s head some more, he could have trained up and tried to break out too! But no! Bet he can’t break steel bars with his bare hands. Bet he can’t kick a steel lever in two. Bet he can’t even do a flip.
Also we never really see him do any really impressive firebending apart from when he has magic comet power, I guesss he shoots some lightning at Zuko, but that’s it and Azula is still better at the lightning thing. Azula has blue flames. Zuko can do firebreakdancing and bend with his swords. Does Ozai, who is not 14 years old, have blue flames? No he doesn’t.
He didn’t even do his coup himself, Ursa had to kill Azulon for him! Could have just challenged Iroh to an Agni Kai for the throne but he didn’t bc he knew he’d lose.
And then he only ruled for like 6 years! He lost a war that had been going on for 100 years bc of a bunch of kids.
