And then Jaskier gets home after a meeting one day and he's cagier than ever. He immediately locks himself in his room and doesn't come out until dinner time and while Geralt wouldn't think it too strange, Jaskier seems perfectly happy when he reappears. Geralt asks him how work went and Jaskier says he doesn't want to talk about it. Two bottles of wine change his mind in a hurry.

He's worried about another photoshoot, really anxious about it to the point where he won't even tell Geralt what it is. Which is odd because Jaskier's done nude shoots before and tried to hang the results in the living room. Geralt wasn't opposed to the idea, per se, but having naked portraits of Jaskier around the apartment would be bad for his sanity. 

Jaskier throws himself dramatically onto his back, scowling up at the ceiling and Geralt does the only thing he knows how to do to cheer Jaskier up: he offers to help. Normally, Jaskier is thrilled to have his input. Normally, his cheeks don't flush bright and he doesn't turn and look in the opposite direction. Whatever it is, Geralt has to know.

He gets an answer the following afternoon. Jaskier collects him while he's brushing his teeth - having slept in until nearly noon - and asks him to come and give his opinion. He looks fresh and tidy as always and Geralt grunts at his cheerfulness but follows nonetheless. 

He sits on the couch and wonders as he waits, contemplating what Jaskier could be more nervous about than being fully naked in front of a bunch of strangers. Then Jaskier shouts through the door and makes him promise not to laugh and Geralt really wants to know. 

inspired directly by this, imagine Bog being called to his daughter’s school after she punches a kid for touching her in a way she didn’t appreciate

imagine the look he gives the teacher/principal as soon as they explain why exactly they called him. The quiet, disbelieving glare, the way that his jaw tenses. He takes a deep breath, because he remembers what happened the last time he lost his temper at the last school. “And what, she was supposed t' let him do whatever the hell he wanted t' her?” 

He doesn’t even stay long enough to hear an excuse.

“Tell ye what,” He stands up, “Ye don’t even have to suspend my daughter. I’m taking her home 'n she’s not coming back. Don’t think I want her anywhere near someone like ye anyway.” He opens the door, motions to his daughter, and she can’t quite hide the smirk on her face as she strolls out with him.

his birthday is june 2 and he's a double gemini… it makes so much sense

he's 5'10" and was taller than all his friends in middle school and bragged about it. then moritz had a growth spurt

he does theatre at school but unlike hanschen he also does musicals; he's also in the school choir because he actually has a really nice voice

(in their senior year their school did les mis and he was valjean. hanschen was javert. otto was thenardier. max von trenk was marius)

he's also on the debate team at their school with hanschen… boy likes to argue

he plays soccer and that's where he directs all of his anger

mostly. he also gets in a lot of fights but only with people who are mean to moritz or ernst because he loves them okay (he also loves georg and otto but. they don't need fighting for because georg sticks up for himself and everyone likes otto)

so he's been suspended a few times but everyone still likes him anyway because he's funny and cool

his mom is a college professor and his dad is a lawyer and they pretty much let him do whatever he wants. he used to have a bedroom upstairs but when he was like 14 he begged to have the basement so he switched rooms and in high school constantly has his friends over (mostly moritz bc moritz is literally like always there. then he moves in at the end of senior year)

he has two big ass dogs! one is a saint bernard and one is a great dane

this is how he dresses

he's dummy thick (hnnng moritz i'm trying to defeat the parentocracy but i'm dummy thicc and the clap of my asscheeks keeps alerting the professors)

he goes to community college after high school because he couldn't stand attending another institute and then he basically becomes like, a freelance journalist

he listens to 80s music all the time and forces his friends to listen to it too. him and otto have this in common. his favorite is kate bush

moritz is his best friend (duh) and they became friends in kindergarten but he's been friends with the other boys since elementary school as well. melchior is the only one who's friends or at least acquaintances with everybody (except thea… he's not friends with thea bc she had a weird middle school crush on him and he thinks she's annoying)

he's actually really good at baking & cooking and when him and moritz are roommates after high school he makes a full breakfast like every day

he doesn't like cats but he deals with moritz's cat when they live together (even though moritz's cat doesn't like him)

he needs glasses but he only ever wears them to read in high school. eventually he just wears them all the time

spring awakening modern au — hanschen

likes: ernst, shakespeare, acting, waxing poetic dislikes: everyone except ernst

Melchior — Melchior is a fan of never wearing a shirt so whenever he’s hanging out casually with his friends he doesn’t wear one. But when he has to be human and go in public he literally dresses like an 80s teen movie character… like he wears striped or floral patterned button-ups (and Hawaiian shirts) tucked into shorts. He literally only owns shirts like that. He also does that Teen Boy thing where he wears a jean jacket over like…a gray pullover hoodie with jeans. He also wears Converse like Moritz but they’re new and not like 6 years old. He also wears reading glasses.

Moritz — Moritz wears flannels all the time and he’s one of those guys that wears the same jacket every day because he’s insecure but that’s usually just when he’s in public or around anyone that isn’t his 4 friends. He also has owned the same pair of Converse since like 8th grade and he wears them every. single. day. and they’re busted as hell but they’re his favorite. He owns a bunch of lame early 2000s punk band t-shirts (like Green Day and The Cure) and flannels. and like 2 pairs of jeans. That’s all he rotates and we love him for it.

Hanschen — Hanschen dresses like… business casual. He always wears leather Oxfords (you will never catch him in casual shoes unless he’s fuckin hiking or something) and button-ups (but like. t-shirt ones) and slacks and he also wears sock garters completely earnestly (there’s an inherent horny energy behind wearing garters of any sort which is 80% of why he does it). He also wears sweaters but they’re like nice expensive sweaters so they aren’t cutesy like Ernst’s… he wears normal t-shirts from time to time but again they’re expensive. He also probably always wears an expensive leather watch because that’s his aesthetic. He wears jeans probably like… once a month. He’s generally just clean and well put together though.

Ernst — Ernst dresses like he shops exclusively at Old Navy and The Gap (because he does and his mom buys him all of his clothes)… He wears sweaters over button-up shirts or just sweaters with slacks and he’s fucking cute. He unironically wears sweaters with cats all over them (or any other tacky patterns) because he likes fun prints… his gay style is campy and he rocks it. He likes funky socks as well and he’s always cold so he always wears sweaters even in the summertime (in the winter he also wears sweaters that are way too big for him because he is valid babey). Also he likes wearing Hanschen’s shirts because he is gay 💁 He also wears reading glasses!

Georg — Georg really is the dude who wears the same gray hoodie every single day of his life… and I've said this for like all of them but. Converse… boys be wearing them… he also has his classic geek ass thick glasses of course. He owns a bunch of merch shirts tbh like for video games and (even though he stopped wearing them in 9th grade bc cringe) anime.

Otto — Otto shops exclusively at thrift stores but he makes it work by dressing as tacky as possible and being ironic about it. He wears super weird thrift shop shirts that have brand names that don't exist anymore and slogans for companies from the 30s or just things that don't apply to him at all ('World's Best Grandma'). He has no sense of style but he makes it work by pretending it's just a joke. He has also been known to wear ugly patterned Hawaiian shirts and really brightly colored windbreakers from the 90s.

Wendla — Wendla genuinely just dresses like how she does in DWSA… She likes wearing sundresses and floral prints and cardigans with them cute little boots. She also definitely has a collection of barrettes and bobby pins that she puts in her hair that have flowers or butterflies on them.

Ilse — Ilse's style is art lesbian in which she wears overalls or sweaters/shirts tucked into jeans with boots… she has like a collection of different patterned Doc Martens. BUT she also likes wearing long skirts ("bohemian" I guess you could call it) with tons of jewelry (especially necklaces and rings) and floral patterns. There's no way of knowing which style she'll choose on a certain day tbh.

Anna — Anna wears Lots of jean. Jean skirts...jean shorts...jean jackets. She also owns a ton of quirky slogan t-shirts and also she really likes the color yellow. She wears scrunchies a lot and exclusively wears white Keds that she colored on in 9th grade with every outfit. Anna also wears a lot of those slogan baseball caps… like the ones that say 'bad hair day' and such. She never wears makeup except for like, eyeliner on occasion.

Martha — Martha's style is like...academic. She likes wearing plaid and earthy tones. She also mildly dresses like how she does in DWSA (especially the boots). I can also see her wearing different types of hats tbh. Martha is also really into the 40s style so she would be wearing red lipstick a lot… and if she's wearing pants they're never jeans they're like cigarette pants or dungarees.
