the best thing about playing tw3 is making geralt be completely indulgent to every one of dandelion’s ridiculous whims

you want me to dress up like a bandit and let you beat me in a fake duel to impress a girl? fine. you need someone to stand around looking threatening and telling everyone they better listen to you? i’d be delighted. you want me to advise on your interior decorating choices? it would be my pleasure.

this version of geralt is absolutely whipped and i love him

all versions of geralt are absolutely whipped

the short stories are fun and i’d recommend them honestly? the main saga is… a lot more difficult (‘war stories’ by A Man),

but it has great moments, like geralt’s fellowship collectively dunking on his inability to accept help while he literally sulks with his back to them

–also, i’m sorry for being a rando with too much to say, i’ve no outlets but my partner right now orz

Oh no worries, we’re all taking our socialization where we can get it, and also, do you think I really have better things to do than read replies on my Tumblr posts? no! it’s just that I’m not always good at answering them, or AO3 comments, currently. But like, please, I like to be talked at even if I don’t always answer. – well, maybe someday I’ll read some of the short stories, but I’ve had a bunch of them excerpted at me, including the bit about the sulking. I get why people like them but I think I probably won’t seek them out. Maybe I’ll save it for when I’m old, LOL.

aww no, poor sad jaskier. also lol'ing at Geralt’s extreme literalism that turns into accidental flirtation, that’s delightful

Oh that wasn’t accidental, he was trying to get firmly back on-topic there. I might alter how that was all worded, it’s definitely modern slang to say “hot” for attractive, but I couldn’t resist Jaskier using it and Geralt not being familiar and getting confused.

How can a man who’s SUCH a dweeb hold my entire heart?? @ geralt I need that back? Sir??

oh my goodness he is such a dweeb.
Spending so much time watching the games being played is kind of assisting in that– we stopped playing last night (which, uh, that recap is going to be uh, epic but disorganized, as we were quite tipsy) when Geralt accidentally leapt from a high walkway to his death while trying to cross a street, and died with this sort of “huargh!” noise. He also yells “OW” a lot, which is really inappropriately funny. They really leaned-in on the dweebery for the game, and it’s hilarious because in all his static poses he is So Badass and then whenever he does anything he’s like, a huge dork.

I was just re-reading Fugitive last night, so I am SUPER excite about that snippet. Thanks for sharing!

Ah, thank you for expressing excitement about that– I’m slightly worried that since I didn’t mark it as having multiple chapters when I started it, nobody’s gonna notice or care when I add a chapter, but I didn’t want to promise another chapter if I didn’t have a good plot for it, so– anyway. I’m working on it only because it hooked me pretty solidly just the other night.

So, my dude has come out to visit for the weekend. (Our isolation circle is this family, plus him, plus his mom, and nobody sees anybody else. it’s weird and involves the Thruway. w-ev.) We were like, well, if there’s a Responsible Adult here we should do something civilized like watch a movie or TV show or something, but my dude was like, no no, I want to understand why you all talk about a video game constantly, and I’ve seen the show so I should have some notion what’s going on anyway right? so hook me up.

SO… we fired up the Xbox.
( behind the cut: super tipsy gaming )

Okay, here we go. It’s a WIP, but it’ll be updated regularly. This one is for The Witcher. And it’ll be ridiculous. Sorry to my Merthur people. I’ll write more of that soon, too.

If you’ve written one of these, do the people a favour and drop a link?

themarevlousmadmim:

How is it that over all the comments/shares no one has given any links to any stories! How hasn’t anyone jumped on this bandwagon yet?! I want to read this fic so hardcore (I wish I had the ability to write it myself, but I’m talentless swine 😭)

(excuse me while I go search zoommates on AO3)

***Update***

Oh my gosh its not on AO3! Not under Skype, or Zoommates, or Quarantine; I’m so sad now! Please someone fill this new void in my life!

ao3commentoftheday:

How dare you hide this in the tags??

Of course I love ‘and they were quarantined’ but take a moment and consider 'and they were videoconferencing.’

Two people who meet for the first time while social distancing. They work in different departments or in different cities. At first they’re dressed business casual and keeping things professional. Then one day a pet appears and conversation gets casual.

They start sharing tips for how to exercise in a tiny apartment. They commiserate over the lack of favourite foods or activities. It turns out they were both going to go to an event that is now canceled.

Eventually, they’re both in their pajamas. Work day is done, but their call has now moved to the evening. They cook the same meal, stream a movie together. When will this lockdown end?

So much potential for pining. So many longing looks. Social distancing video calling coworkers to friends to lovers.
