and you only shove your foot onto a spiky baby dragon once before you learn a valuable lesson

I made fanart for "A Hoard of Witchers" Witcher fanfiction

I just finished Witcher s2 and I have thoughts.  Once again, I bounced this off of @aplaceofnonsense​, my enabler.

Me:  Hey, remember that “Jaskier is immortal” theory I had from last year?  I have to amend that.  I don’t think he’s immortal.

Saph: ...he’s not?

Me: He’s not immortal.  He’s a dragon.

Saph: um...WUT

(Season 2 spoilers below the cut)

So, not all dragons are bards, but all dragons sing.

As dragons, it sounds a bit strange. More like humming, voices woven together like a thick rug. The youngest one get to sing the melody, because their voice hasn’t deepened yet.

It is a sight to behold, and so rare most thinks it’s a myth.

Especially because dragons are so rare now, and it is dangerous to meet up in your true form. (I’m sticking to the idea that their dragon name is something they saw or something that happened as they hatched.)

Jaskier is a dragon, isn’t he? One of the younger ones, one of the best kept secrets on the continent.

It will take him a few hundred years to get his voice as deep as his mothers, but he practices every day. But he has to practice as a human.

The thing that makes him such a wildly popular bard, is that he has history on his side. His memory runs deep, and human words come to him easily. He enjoys all kinds of singing. He listens to birds, converse with sirens, enjoys the crickets small accompaniment to the nights symphony of noise.

He takes inspiration from all that he sees. His best love song may star humans, but it is not always the inspiration behind the song.

The most moving love story he ever saw, he saw in a riverbank, and he translated their fight to an epic, spread the tale of longing, heartache and lust.

There are dragons that despise him for it, but when he meets Jackdaw upon that wretched mountain top, he is nothing but kindness.

Essi was not a bard. She was but a human, but Jaskier loved her as deeply as any sister he ever had. For her, he tried to sing in the old way, let her sing the melody.

Geralt almost found out then.

But the day he actually finds out, the day Jaskier reveals his long held secret, is when he brings Geralt to his hatching place along the coast.

He brings Geralt to meet his mother.

Geralt listens, as Jaskier and his mother sings together. And at night, laying in rented beds at the inn, one entire room apart, Geralt asks him about it.

Geralt never asks to see his dragon form, he knows of the dangers.

But when they have found the cub of cintra, when they are in the deep mountains of Kaer Morhen, Jaskier spreads his wings for them, scales glistening in the sun.

Then there was merman!Jaskier

Now get ready for red dragon!Jaskier

case in point:

Shiny Boy.

so explain me this.

This is the scene where Borch gives the dragon teeth to the dwarfs. Now Jaskier just arrived and has no idea what really happened yet. They allegedly came here to kill the dragon and if anything he should just be surprised to see Borch. But that is not a surprised expression. That is a sad expression.

Also here's something else: the clothes and their meaning. So if you look at Borch's clothes, they clearly resembling him being a dragon with the colourful scaley pattern.

And here are Jaskier's clothes, rather scaly if I say so myself, which is something I noticed with his other doublets as well.

Now I know that the creators of the show did not age Jaskier by accident, so I highly doubt that they would make him dragonborn on purpose.
