Into a bird.

After spending some time flying around in his new feathered form, Jaskier eventually runs into Geralt. It's been a long time since he's seen the witcher—not since the mountain.

And Jaskier is furious, to say the least.

He hadn't expected Geralt to recognize him, of course. Jaskier is a bird now. A very handsome bird, admittedly, but still a bird.

What he hadn't expected was for Geralt to talk to him so openly.

The witcher grumbles to him while making camp. Complains about contracts. Mutters about annoying merchants and stubborn horses. Shares his food. Answers Jaskier's chirps as if they're part of an actual conversation.

All without realizing the bird is Jaskier.

At first, Jaskier tells himself it's irritating.

Then it's confusing.

Then it's downright infuriating.

Because Geralt seems to genuinely like this bird.

He seeks him out when he flies off. Saves him the best scraps from dinner. Talks to him more than he's talked to Jaskier in months.

And Jaskier can't stop wondering why.

Why can Geralt like a bird and not him?

Why is it so easy for Geralt to be kind when Jaskier has feathers and wings, but impossible when he's just a bard?

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

Being attracted to any kind of body is normal. Fat bodies. Trans bodies. Disabled bodies. All normal. Being extra attracted to a specific kind of body is normal too. Totally normal to have a type.

Not unlearning the societal stigma attached to those kinds of bodies, the people who inhabit those bodies, and the people who fuck them, to the point where you do any of the following:

Only want to date/fuck the person in secret.

Reduce the person to the feature that you desire and ignore the rest of who they are as a person.

Expect the person to be a walking porn fantasy instead of a real person with their own sexual preferences and boundaries.

Would no longer love the person if the stigmatized aspect of their body changed.

Consider yourself superior to the person, think the person should be 'grateful' that you love their body, etc.

See the person as a temporary adventure while planning to eventually settle down with someone whose body isn't stigmatized.

Is bad and harmful and you shouldn't be dating anyone until you've worked on your shit, because this makes you a very terrible partner. This doesn't mean you are a bad person with bad-fetishist-desires who can only desire people badly, it means you need to unlearn societal stigma so you can be a better partner to the people you desire.

Imagine what it means to tell a person that sexual attraction to their body isn't normal.
