I was a total nudist until like eleven or twelve. I think most kids grow out of it before then, but I also thing the Nudist Phase is pretty normal. Also, plus side: child is not ashamed of their body?

Oh yeah, she’s fine– and she’s actually way less of a nudist than most of the kids of my acquaintance. She’d just been allowed to go skinny-dipping in the pool in the backyard, before her bathtime. Which is maybe what made it even funnier– she’d been fully nude for like, an hour and a half by that point. 

Her best friend’s mom has been trying with mixed success to enforce a bare minimum rule of wearing underpants, at least, in the front yard in their little suburban neighborhood. Farmkid is usually amenable to wearing clothes, though sometimes she insists on pajamas at inappropriate times and suchlike (which, like, also super normal so whatever) and actually asked permission to forego the bathing suit for the pool visit.

Interesting sidenote: Children of that age learning about social distancing and mask-wearing– Farmkid and her friends have had slight difficulty with the concept of estimating six feet, but have not had any forgetful moments and have been really obedient about keeping their masks on when told to. FK and her BFF (who are in the same quarantine circle) will take their masks outside with them and put them on if they want to talk to people, and then take them off when playing solo together, and then will remember to go retrieve them and put them on again if another visitor comes they want to talk to. (A lot of people come by the farm during CSA pickups, especially, and most of them are people FK has known her whole life and is delighted to see.)

fellow hypermobile, all my sympathies!! my shoulders also sublax if i sleep on them. the most comfy way for me to sleep is on my back (which i can actually do now that i have a cpap machine praise the spirits) because literally any other position means bad pain days to follow. a firm mattress is the very definition of hell tbh!

For a while last night I lay on my face on the carpet on the floor so I’d be in the full stream of air from the fan pulling air in from the hallway window. 

I almost fell asleep there. It’s approximately the same hardness as the mattress. I considered it, and it was only because the wool was scratchy that I bothered getting up into the bed.

I’m too fat to lie facedown, I’ve got too many lumps and bumps so my spine ends up curved. If I lie on my back, my butt makes my spine  have to curve as well– I don’t even have much junk in my trunk, but even a flat ass of sufficient size makes that tricky. IDK what kinds of pillows I’d use to correct for that.

I mean, ideally, I’d sleep on a yielding surface, but like. One makes do.

HA

I think it’s really funny that in the games when they want you to follow a scent trail of course it’s got to be depicted visually so it’s this weird red cloudy trail in midair. 

I researched elephants intensely at one point for an original novel I was writing with genetically engineered woolly mammoths in it and they also have incredible senses of smell, but they can use their trunks for that, and often do, they’ll put their trunks right on the ground and whuffle back and forth to warm up the thing they’re trying to catch the scent of. Humans don’t have trunks, though. (I had a great scene where the protagonist is trying to find someone she’d hooked up with the previous night and her mammoth sniffs her clothing where she’d embraced him and is like “oh I can definitely find that guy” and leads her straight to his window in a kind of warped version of cinderella’s slipper.) (listen I can call my own shit great if I want, I’ve been having a hard day.)

(It’s always funny to be in a particular fandom and then do some self-analysis and be like Hm I Have Written This Exact Trope Before. What Does This Say About Me As A Person?)

I know you siad you don’t want to write this and no prressure but this is amazing and if you only ever drrop rarndom thoughts on this AU i will eat them up with a spoon! I really like the idea of Jaskeir having to warm up to Geralt cause that is not something which is explored in this fandom

ooooooooooooooooooh bbbbbbbbbbbb i waaaaaant ittttt

s-leary

I don’t talk about it here much, but I am a CASA volunteer. Which might be a role Yen would fit into, here… Not that you’re writing it.

OK OK y’all I do have some more thoughts.

 I had the seeming-at-the-moment brilliant thought that like… it’s not that Geralt’s been transplanted to the modern era, it’s that he’s survived. He’s a couple of hundred years old and is fitting in to modern life as well as he can, and the world doesn’t have much room left in it for Witchers.

Here’s the thing I thought was such a brilliant idea. IDK how it holds up but listen for four hours on the Thruway I thought this was fucking brilliant. 

The social worker’s name is Pancratz, and Geralt’s like, fuck, I used to know a Pancratz. But that happens to him a lot; he’s super fucking old and he’s known a lot of people and they’ve sort of come and gone, over the years, right? So who fucking knows; it’s not relevant at the moment, so he forgets about it.

Until maybe the Snowed In incident, and after young Mr. Pancratz has gotten over some of his terror at being unexpectedly trapped in a remote half-ruined compound with a bunch of Witchers, he winds up hanging out with Ciri, and finds her toy ukelele and tunes it up and reveals that he’s got a night job as a musician, and as soon as he starts singing, Geralt’s like

ah fuck that’s who I knew who was a Pancratz

and young Mr. Pancratz is like uh excuse me?

and Geralt’s like fucking Dandelion, his real name was fucking Pancratz, you fucking sound like him, you even smell like him, I can’t believe it took me this long

and Young Mr. Pancratz is like I’m sorry what and it turns out Dandelion was his like, 9-greats-grandfather and it’s a big deal and he’s been researching him and performing under his name and all of that and is like we thought all the Witcher stuff was fake and Geralt’s like well, i mean, it was heavily fictionalized, but no, that was me and goes into the back of one of his closets where he’s got a handy enchanted trunk that keeps shit from getting wrecked by the lack of climate control and hauls out a lute Dandelion’s daughter or somebody gave him after the old man dies and is like, well, I should probably give this to you then, and Young Mr. Pancratz pretty much faints on the spot.

Anyway. I am not writing this but I was highly amused by this imaginary scene.
