I did have a lovely enough evening, we got a fancy pizza and then went and got takeout ice cream sundaes from the fancy ice cream and candy place down the street. (I also bought $100 of fancy artisanal valentine’s candies for my mom and sisters and me shh.)

but I was pondering what i really want in life, and what i really want, is to sit in a hot tub somewhere– and like, not a hot tub in like a rec center or something, no. i want like. a hot tub on a deck. on the deck of like. a cabin in the woods, with a breathtaking view of the snowy woods and such. like, a nice big hot tub. yeah.

and i want to sit topless in this nice hot tub with this great view, and drink champagne.

and then– well ok over the weekend MM’s kids were playing Minecraft and one of the items in Boychild’s inventory was just called Bucket of Salmon and like

hell yeah i want a bucket of salmon and some champagne and to sit in a hot tub in the snowy woods with my tits out.

(this led to a discussion of where i could source sushi in the remote woods and the suggestion that i just catch a salmon myself, and someone had pointed out that my initial description of the fantasy sounded really like the selkie lifestyle, so i supposed that if i were really a selkie i would have little difficulty in managing a fish straight out of a stream, so now this idle fantasy has taken a hard left into being an A/U where I’m a selkie, but like, that’d be cool and I’d have badass teeth and be way more buff than I am, so I guess that’s where I’m mentally going, on a Wednesday night in February 11 months into a global pandemic that has prevented me from having any kind of travel or vacation or indeed very much fun of any kind in my life, so.)

  the thing about hot tubs on the decks of cabins in the woods with great views is that they run the risk of a bear approaching and trying to pry open the metal cage around your cabin’s trash can while you’re having a soak. happened at my cousin’s bachelorette party lol. though i suppose that wouldn’t be as concerning for a selkie, maybe? unless it comes for your bucket-o-fish

oh in this daydream I guess we’d better assume I am ready, willing, and able to fight a bear. If I were a selkie probably I would not hesitate. (Your picture was not posted)

There’s this ask reddit post about your weirdest childhood and the story is about this guy who was playing in the woods by a creek with his friend when a guy in full late 1800s formal clothing including a top hat just walked out of the forest, said “Hello boys!” and kept walking. This is why I want historical clothing so badly. The ultimate prank.

give someone something to think about for the rest of their life

be the ghost encounter YOU want to see in this world

In my last year at uni, I was living in the top floor of a Victorian terraced house. And wearing a lot of Victorian inspired clothing with my goth stuff

There was a girl aged about five who lived down the road, and whose mother always made a really big point of completely ignoring me.

So the child makes the logical conclusion of Victorian house + Victorian woman + mother apparently cannot perceive = I CAN SEE GHOSTS

My dad, at the time in his late 20s, got super into re-enacting Revolutionary War right around the bicenntennial. He and some friends were downstate somewhere, Long Islandish I think, camping out in a field by some woods. They were drinking and getting a little rowdy and a neighbor must’ve called the cops for the noise, because they saw a police car approaching.

Dad’s friend George https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Woodbridge decided he was going to go talk to the cop, as he was in real life a respectable person, and knew how to talk to authorities. Dad went along, to hold the lantern to light the way.

The men stepped out of the woods at the edge of the road just as the cop got out of his car. It was summer, and both had removed their wool coats in the heat, and were wearing white linen shirts and buff breeches; George had a pale beige weskit on.

The cop looked at them, went pale, backed away, and ran around the hood of his car to get in it. Before they could say anything, he drove away.

Only then did they think that maybe two men wearing white carrying a candle lantern melting silently out of the woods might have been alarming on a level beyond a simple noise nuisance… (Your picture was not posted)

Ooh I don’t care for Instagram’s new posting interface at all. Winter is cold and we are surviving with naps and buckets of salmon and memes. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLJ_J35B3ad/?igshid=ts9fioo0cng0 (Your picture was not posted)

Hey Witcher friends, you only have one week left to sign up for the Fisstech and Succubi Eskel Celebration Exchange! Sign Ups are live here! https://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fforms%2Fd%2Fe%2F1FAIpQLSeHocxg7KfEJQsS5zCsIAXCftNrNtOcHvo9Y3PFFZo_W5kRWg%2Fviewform&t=MDVjNWJmZjFiNTAwYTlhNTI3YWU1YzNmMDI3ZjY4OTc3ZGUxMmY5OCxmN2JmODI5MWI4YmI4ZDM1YTc2YjBiY2I1YmY4NDI3OGUxYTA3MzM3&ts=1611881036

Since we’re all still stuck in our snowed-in crumbling fortresses isolated by forbidding mountain passes, or at least trying not to catch the plague from our neighbours, now seems like the right time to warm ourselves up by creating fanworks about our favourite witcher! No, not that grumpy White Wolf guy, he already has a bard to sing his praises. I’m talking about Eskel.

Schedule

Signups: January 9 - February 14, 2021 - I will be posting a running list of DNWs during this time so if you remember or are reminded of any additional DNWs that you don’t want, you will have unlimited opportunities during this time to submit additional DNWs for your prompt.

Claim Period 1: February 18 - 23, 2021

Claim Period 2: February 25 - 29, 2021 - for those who didn’t get any of their first round picks

Posting Deadline: April 15, 2021

Rules

The update to the rules is that the upper word count limit on fics and the upper page count limit on comics has been removed.

Each person who signs up will get one fanwork and give one fanwork. You MUST sign up to create a fanwork if you want to receive one.

What counts as a fanwork?

• Fics: You may give one fic of more than 1000 words

• Art: You may give at least one complete illustration (finished linework and flat b/w) OR at least 5 rough sketches OR one comic based on the giftee’s requests.

• Some other form of fanwork if the recipient requests it and the creator is willing to produce it. If you have some other form of fanwork in mind, you should be specific in your request form, and you should provide several alternatives in your request form (including fic or art) in case there is not a creator who is able to produce the type of fanwork you’re hoping for. A game-accurate suit of armor or a five-tier cake is likely more difficult than a playlist or a moodboard.

Your work should:

• feature Eskel as a character;

• be tagged responsibly; and

• follow the prompt you chose and respect the DNWs your prompter listed;

but other than that, there are NO HOLDS BARRED AS TO CONTENT IN THIS EXCHANGE. Do you want to request something light and fluffy where Eskel gets a lot of very nice things and nothing hurts and everything is beautiful? Great! Do you want to request something canon-compliant where Eskel suffers terrible facial scarring and then later does fisstech with a succubus? Great! Do you want to request something dark where Nilfgaardians overrun the North and the Emperor keeps Eskel as his sex slave? Great!
