incorrectly-quoted-queers:

Jaskier: Boys are gross, don’t have feelings for them

Ciri: Okay

Jaskier: They like being creepy and sticking dirt in their mouths and itching things publicly that they never should. And they can be very difficult with their emotions, just look at Geralt. You don’t want to fall in love with that, would you?

Ciri: Cool with me

Jaskier: You’re taking this disturbingly well

Ciri: I don’t like boys that much

Ciri: Triss is very, very pretty though. I think I’m going to ask her to pick flowers with me

Yennefer: How did scaring Ciri off dating go?

Jaskier: I made a mistake

So I went back and tagged all of my Witcher 3 recaps with “wee precious flower prince geralt” since that seems to be an ongoing theme, and I wanted to be able to find them all again too. 

DF had an office day yesterday so he was home early and spent some time in the afternoon Warframing, so he fired up Witcher 3 while MM was still putting the kids to bed. He figured he had a bunch of boring quest-grinding to do and she wouldn’t miss anything.

But that meant that as we were talking to a man about a cart full of plague victims, the 7-year-old came down to ask for medicine for his stuffy nose. I noticed him first, as the screen had just gone to a cutscene; Geralt standing there looking disapprovingly at a man standing next to a cart full of bodies, glowering skeptically at him, and the 7-year-old boy, standing in the passageway from the kitchen, watching it in entrancement, a faint line of confusion between his eyebrows. “Kid,” I said, “what do you need?”
“My nose is stuffy,” he said, still staring entranced at the brightly-colored video game screen.
“You gotta burn that cart,” Geralt growled at the carter. (Geralt knows about germ theory. HM)
“Then get a stuffie,” DF said, not having heard him amidst the sounds of getting out of his chair to physically interpose his own 6′1″ body between the child and the unskippable cut scene. But it’s a really large television, so this wasn’t super effective.
“No, my nose,” Boy said. “What are you watching? Who’s that?”
“Come on,” DF said, putting the controller down and leading Boy to the kitchen, to give him a completely placebo-level underdose of allergy medication, which, spoiler alert, completely sorted him for the evening. 
(Boy is, after all, the original Flower Prince; he’s very sensitive, and it’s sweet and lovely but occasionally you want to kind of grab him by the shoulders and intone furiously not all sensation is pain, child, it is okay to exist in a body but we do not do this very often because it isn’t particularly effective. But it’s true, child, it’s true.)

(behind the cut: hide and seek, and a reply to a reply about a bookverse allusion. this is kind of a long meandery one, i always mean to make these more concise but i’m just having too much fun. sorry.)( Read more... )

fenharel:

All right, but you gotta do somethin’ for us, too. Play hide-n-seek. Gran never does, says her feet hurt.

when this dialogue option came up I squealed “DO IT PLAY HIDE AND SEEK WITH THE KIDS” and DF was like… really… and I was like C'mon you’re playing this in-character, Geralt would TOTALLY play hide-and-seek with kids, and DF sighed and was like, you’re right.
