i was so worried …

i told you not to come in here anymore.

do i look that needy?

i’m at the mercy of your sex glands!

don’t you have something better to do than follow me around all night?

you can’t put the superman d.c. #3400 series with the #500’s … it’s a different artist.

if you want your ear pierced, i’ll do it.

are you hungry? wanna get something to eat?

how far are you willing to go?

man, you wouldn’t believe the cool stuff we’ve found in here.

ten o’clock. light’s out.

i can’t sleep with the closet door open, either. not even a crack.

don’t sneak up on people like that!

hell, we’re free as birds.

i hate going into town.

you think you’re cool, don’t you?  you think you know what’s really happening, don’t you? well, you don’t know shit, buddy.

we’re fighters for truth, justice, and the american way.

i miss my family.

i’m my own man.

i had a bad dream.

i hear this is the decade for cute.

get yourself a good sharp stake and drive it through his heart.

we’ve got to stick together.

you had me scared to death. are you all right?

aren’t we friends anymore?

wait a minute, kiddo.

i told you that comic would save your life.

ahhhh!

       they didn’t use the same melody or even tone for all of the different language dubs, meaning eskel’s trail song exists in several different capacities! i don’t have all the language dubs available to me, but i was able to record the ones i did!!! :)

would you like to talk about it?

please tell me what’s bothering you.

hey, are you okay?

i don’t have to know everything. just what you’re comfortable telling me.

i’m your friend. of course i care.

there’s nothing bad about going to therapy.

would you like to try a different approach?

i – i didn’t know that. i’m sorry.

is this helping?

i’ll try not to ask a lot of questions.

i’m always here if you need me.

shh, it’s alright. shh. 

we’re safe now. you’re safe now.

it was just a nightmare.

sweetheart, you have to tell me these things.

you know i’d never judge you for that, right?

i’m worried about you.

is something going on? 

everything you say will just be between you and me.

what method do you prefer?

do you need help falling asleep?

anything i could do to help?

why are you like this?

i understand. 

sweetie, is there something you aren’t telling me? what’s wrong?

let’s get you cleaned up.

this is good. this is important. 

you’re healing, and healing takes time. 

we can do more tomorrow.

how about you get some sleep, hm?

bedtime.

it’s ok not to be ok.

tomorrow is another day.

hey, hey, hey. look at me, look at me. it’s okay.

breath in for seven seconds, exhale for eleven …

do you need some space?

SO LIKE WHAT THE HELL EVEN IS IRIS? :  the  meta  to  end  all  metas

one )  is  iris  an  over - powered  mary  sue ?  sure .  but  you  could  say  the  same  about  almost  all  fem  characters  in  fiction  who  have  any  hint  of  special  abilities .   it’s  a  misogynistic  label  used  to  denote  any  fem  characters  who  are  too  competent  when  compared  to  their  power - fantasy  male  counterparts .   i  un - abashedly  portray  iris  as  she  is  written —   a  personification  of  grief ,   a  woman  caught  between  unknown  realms  &  unexplainable  beings .  she  canonically  had  a  pocket  dimension  form  around  her ,   &   her  husband  made  a  deal  with  an  eldritch  entity  with  her  as  a  focus .   iris  has  a  great  deal  of  uncontrollable  magic  surrounding  her ,   &   i  do  not  tone  that  down  on  this  blog .

two )  how  much  does  iris  control  her  powers ?  very  very  little .   as  eons  go  by ,  she’s  able  to  channel  the  strange  way  things  exist  around  her  ,  but  even  then  she  has  no  real  motivation  to  utilize  this  ability .   her  powers  are  somewhat  like  that  of  a  source —   she  doesn’t  control  magic  so  much  as  she  is  a  conduit  .   the  universe  simply  does  not  want  her  to  exist .   the  only  reason  she  does  carry  on  is  through  gaunter’s  magic ,   &  as  such  it  sort  of  “ warps “  around  her .   it’s  like  looking  at  pavement  on  a  hot  day -   she’s  an  anomaly  to  everything ,  even  this  dimension  itself ,  &  so  reality  is  a  bit  more  lenient  surrounding  her .

three )  what  inhibits  her  powers ?   silver ,  dimeritium,   &  yrden ,  but  no  witcher  would  ever  have  cause  to  harm  her .   she  is  never  malevolent –  even  towards  those  iris  would  have  stood  up  against  in  her  lifetime .  her  only  real  motivation  is  talking  to  those  affected  by  grief ,  nothing  else  matters .  it’s  possible  she  could  be  killed  by  being  trapped  in  yrden  &  stricken  with  silver ,   but  it’s  unlikely  she  would  stay  dead  without  drastic  measures .

four )  how  did  she  escape  the  painted  world  in  the  first  place ?   olgierd  wished  for  immortality  for  not  only  himself ,  but  also  for  iris .  in  the  cannon  of  my  blog ,  geralt  breaks  olgierd’s  pact  with  gaunter .   when  the  pact  is  broken ,   olgierd  is  returned  to  his  mortal  form ,  but  the  same  isn’t  possible  for  iris .   her  death  was  a  weird  occurrence  in  &  of  itself –   her  grief  &  despair  were  so  great  that  she  could  no  longer  remain  in  our  realm ,  but  the  contract  prevented  her  from  moving  to  the  next .   thus ,  she  was  caught  between  the  two ,  in  a  pocket  dimension  of  her  own  making .  when  the  pact  ended ,  it  caused  the  painted  world  to  shatter ,  spitting  her  back  into  a  half - alive ,  half - dead  state  that  she  now  inhabits .
