#jaskier|dandelion

Thought: Half-Elven Jaskier who's father never told him about the massacre because he knew his son and didn't want to upset him or make it seem like there was no happy ending

Jaskier, who is vague and poetic with his lyrics, who doesn't even mention Geralt by anything other than White Wolf in his songs even if everybody knows who he is, writes a scathing review with the exact location of the inn of a town who Geralt took a contract in and then they skimped out on like half the payment and refused to let him stay in the town despite what he'd just done for them, and he writes it to a jaunty tune enough that people know he's serious but also it's a kind of a joke- except, that when people are near that town or walking through they'll titter about how "oh we shouldnt stay here, this is the town that Bard wrote about" as a joke but they really dont stay there and when news reaches Jaskier about it, he feels so fucking satisfied

I imagine that if Jaskier got stabbed in a tavern fight (which he probably started) his reaction would be like "I cant BELIEVE you just stabbed me, what the fuck?!" And then Geralt would have to take care of the people AND the stab wound but the fact is Jaskier would be so unbelievably offended at that for a simple tavern brawl that he'd end up just being befuddled

I really want a scene about Geralt and Jaskier which is a reflection of Will asking Bedelia "Is Hannibal in love with me?" Could he daily feel a stab of hunger for you and find nourishment at the very sight of you? Yes. But do you... ache for him?" Because a) that scene is so emotionally overwhelming (at least when I first watched it) and it was such an incredible thing to watch and *chefs kiss* and b) that entire scene is such a culmination of everything about them as a pair, what theyve both become, and, as a reflection of Geralt and Jaskier, I think would work wonderfully with Geralt being the one to ask Yennefer of Jask's love (theyve been friends for a while prior to this) and Jaskier is the cultured musician and artist who does not necessarily look like they should be in trouble but has repeatedly found themselves so in various ways as a result of their own actions

Modern Jaskier as a mega famous musician and, in true over dramatic fashion, doesnt even release the song Her Sweet Kiss with any kind of promotion- it's a heat of the moment thing when he arranges it all, a blur of time when he finished writing the song with it's new meaning, new lyrics, new everything expressing how he feels in the wake of a break up (platonic or relationship) with Geralt, rents out a recording studio for 3 days later, sends the music to the musicians he knows are free (string-quartet-types mostly, aside from himself playing the lute) and so there's just like 17 people in this huge recording studio with 4 cameras on them and Jaskier had his own recording of the song but he would prefer to use a live-version and- he does. Just posts it to his YouTube channel without any warning or any kind of advice or permission from his team (who he ends up ignoring half the time anyway) It's his biggest hit and everybody is in awe because there was nothing about this song released or anything and Jaskier never mentioned anything about new songs or releases any time soon anyway point is he becomes even more famous and Geralt is really just like "holy shit I fucked up" bc he hears it everywhere once its released for radio and that's not even the important part - that's Jaskier singing his heart out to Her Sweet Kiss surrounded by an arch of string instruments in a recording studio and every break in his voice heard is so raw and it just emphasises his heartache and in the video he just- breaks down afterwards. Starts sobbing and be falls to the ground before the video cuts out with several people in the background going towards him to comfort him and its heart wrenching to watch

For some reason I just got the image of Jaskier trying to catch up with Geralt and Roach but, get this, he was fucking Naruto running and i-

Jaskier accidentally goes to a banquet Valdo Marx is performing at bc Geralt was invited for witcher related reasons, and he starts performing one of Jaskier's songs, and Jaskier straight up fucking tackles him in the middle of the room telling him to not "ruin my FUCKING SONG WITH YOUR OFF-KEY CAT SCREECHES YOU GODDAMN BASTARD" and Geralt is like "thank you for a causing a scene so we could leave" bc he was fucking tired, and now all he has to do is carry Jaskier out over his shoulder as he screams obscenities until he's definitely out of range
