one of the many things i love about this show is that, of the ample geralt sex scenes, women are always on top, and the direction makes it very clear they’re basically just using his body and he is totally into that. so even though it’s not “bottoming” i def think canon supports the idea that geralt is happy to please.

i’m def drawn to the angst of yennefer/geralt. theirs is a relationship of high highs and low lows, on again off again kind of deal. there’s a lot you can do with that fic-wise, both canon and au. i like the idea of geralt being aware of the toxicity of their relationship but pursuing yennefer as a self-harm/comfort kind of deal. and i like yennefer as someone who has extreme emotions but keeps her cards close and doesn’t let anyone in, even though she needs someone to love her in order to heal from the ways she’s been hurt. so their relationship is great for angsty one-shots and potentially a recovery/healing slow-burn.

obvs i love renfri/geralt too, in part because we’re given so little about them, but just enough that i’m interested in exploring it more. renfri is a princess turned bandit, a badass, not necessarily good aligned, and likes putting geralt in tough moral situations while messing with his head and heart. again, angst, but i like the idea that he’s soft for her despite not wanting to be, because he’s a romantic at heart and drowns himself daily in respect women juice. a lot of their canonical relationship happens after she dies – he welds her brooch to his sword. he thinks about her while he’s on the brink of death. she’s a person he carries with him always, even if their time together was brief. also i’m dying for a good fix-it where renfri lives. (which i am trying to write myself and have 2k words done, but wow is it hard)

geralt/jaskier is probably most conducive to fic-writing, because they have a good chemistry and great banter, and enough sincere admiration for one another that their relationship is easy to pick up and expand on. and they have a really classic slash dynamic that i think a lot of fan writers are drawn to. i definitely ship it but i haven’t read or written any fic for them yet. it’s probably only a matter of time though. i’m sure by now fanon has been established of their relationship and begun speaking back to itself in the way that good ships do.

of course there’s geralt/ciri which i think would be more popular were we not living in the era of anti. (my god, they are each other’s DESTINY, and we have a parallel Law of Surprise in which both parties get MARRIED) so, while i would love to comment further on that ship, i’m waiting to see how the fandom shakes out purity-wise. you would think that a show with canon incest, infant death, age gap, non con, dub con, and which centers entirely around moral ambiguity would drive away the purity police, but i thought similarly of kylux and look how that turned out.

lastly i think geralt/original character is a totally valid ship. one thing that’s great about this verse is how sprawling it is – geralt has lived a long time and has come into contact with a lot of people. his adventures are conducive to episodic storytelling. he’s a character who is reluctant to love but it always manages to find him. he’s not supposed to have feelings and yet he’s quick to divisive loyalty, and he’s very earnest in his relationships. it might be very fun to make the character you want to see him with and craft a believable story around them. 

HE STRAIGHT UP MURDERED ME YESTERDAY

Mr. Gold just wants to buy a black coffee and get a start on the next grumpy day of his grumpy life, but the chipper Killian Jones insists of “lightening his spirits,” much to Gold’s chagrin. But for a week, Killian mysteriously disappears and Gold realizes he misses the pain in the ass. When Killian returns, Gold actually does lighten his spirits...and his heart for him.

7. what is ur  guiltiest guilty fave fandom

I shouldn’t enjoy parts of the Twilight fandom as much as I do. It’s a shitty book, Stephenie Meyer is a pretentious douchebag and yet…Rosalie Hale and Alice Cullen are my everything

10. what is the worst thing you want to become canon (character death, trash-ship etc)

If I had it my way, Emma would’ve lost the baby in S7. And a part of me headcanons that the pregnancy that she announced to Henry and Baby Hope were two totally separate pregnancies.

@mathildia reblogged your post and added:

Oh my god. This is INCREDIBLE.Bless your heart for...

Why, thank you! Would I be evil if I said I actually wanted to write more, with that particular scene to be the ending, but was bored and also thought it would be a total repeat of your own fic “Blame”? I just wanted some dirty CC sex and decided I should try to write some myself. You and your writing are most definitely a great inspiration for that.

OF COURSE!!!!

The moment I saw that shirt, I was like, “WHERE’D YOU GET THE SHIRT, COL?!?!” because we know this man just wanders through life with, like, five shirts total and someone at Hulu was like, “We need to clothe this man,” and then they gave him a shirt but what was he doing with Hulu people in the first place?!

So I went looking for Hulu projects in production and Wikipedia actually has a great working list of them here. 

Now, you all know I love whump and I want my boy to get whumped in everything he does (and bless his heart, he seems to want the same thing; it’s like kismet all up in this joint), but I immediately spotted an adaptation of The Devil in the White City and OMG the only thing I want more than Colin getting whumped is Colin playing a serial killer. I mean, the way he can switch from charming and innocent little cherub to cold, calculating evil villain is amazing and I neeeeeeed to see him utilizing this in a more serious and chilling environment than he did on Once, because I think it would be amazing to see him master both sides of a role like that. It’s also got Leo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese at the helm, and those are not names to mess around with. Of course, having a big actor like Leo involved points to him likely playing a role himself (and he was allegedly planning to play Holmes in the film that’s been not-getting-made for the last 10 years), but it would still be a good project for Colin to be involved in, even if it’s not as the legendary murderer himself.

But! My own personal need to see Colin murdering many, many people aside… Hulu’s also doing two (why two?) separate series based on George R.R. Martin’s Wild Cards series. It’s basically about a virus that hits mankind in the 1940s, killing 90% of the population and altering the DNA of the survivors - so everyone either becomes grotesquely deformed or develops superpowers. Obviously, we’d want Colin to get the superpowers, because him being dead or deformed would certainly not be as enjoyable for us viewers (no matter how much Colin loves dying in things). Unless the deformity is, like, whumpy and kinda hot instead of grotesque. Then I’d be into it. Look, I’m a simple woman and he is a hot man. Don’t touch the hotness, people.

Hulu also has the rights now to Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles, which would be interesting. I’ve never actually thought about Colin playing a vampire, but I bet he could do it brilliantly. Also, long hair? Rockstar vampire later on? Okay, I’ll sign up for these things :D

There’s also some John Grisham adaptations (legal thrillers) and a short story adaptation called Simultaneous by the guy who wrote Bird Box. And countless other things on the list, as well as stuff that maybe isn’t announced yet, so… Really, this whole post is just me spitballing here, haha :)

Also, he could’ve just stolen the shirt off of some set somewhere I mean… umm… like, found it somewhere? And walked off with it like it belonged to him because it was nice? I dunno, man. It’s complicated. Nah, but seriously, lots of media companies give out t-shirts and things at various industry events (like SDCC and what-have-you), and I could see Colin just, like, taking them all because they’re nice getting one that way.

We’ll have to wait and see…
