So Like Am I One Of The Few Who Thinks Of Eskel As The Older Sibling Kind? Like Hes Got So Much Big Brother

So like am I one of the few who thinks of Eskel as the older sibling kind?👀 Like he’s got so much big brother energy it’s so crazy, let me tell you about the things I’ve thought of for it.

Geralt’s been feeling kind of down during the winter months, sulks here and there, spreading the scent of sadness. Maybe he misses his bard, no one knows because he won’t talk about it. Now think Eskel in the keeps library looking for books he’s read over and over before, and Geralt comes in after doing his chores and walks over to him and just leans against him. Eskel knew it was gonna happen sooner or later, hums, and picks out one of Geralt’s favourite books. He gets the wolf to sit next to the fire with him. By supper time, Lambert finds them laying next to the hearth with Eskel reading out loud and Geralt sleeping with his hair being played with.

With Lambert It’s different, no I don’t think Lambert’s the one to just sit there in silence, I think he bottles it up and gets angry easier. Mixing Eskel into the situation, i bet he’s a lot more daring than Geralt would be, more likely to chunk Lambert off the roof of Kaer Morhen, or tackle him out of nowhere. Not saying Geralt wouldn’t do it, but I feel as if Eskel can tell when Lambert’s gonna pop a lot quicker. This also goes with jokes, name calling, snarky remarks thrown at each other.

Now with Jaskier, I can totally see him and Eskel just reciting old poems written by dead poets. Maybe one night while Eskel is helping cook, and by that I mean he’s just making sure the stew was stirred, Jaskier comes marching in and whips out this poem that Eskel hasn’t heard in a while, but it’s the very poem Jaskier used to express he’s angry. Eskel would reply back with some poem he remembers back on, and they just go back and forth like that. Sometimes it’s just a couple of poems, but the longest they gone was almost four days.

Yes I want to add Vesemir into this, I saw some headcanons about Vesemir and Eskel having a close relationship as father & son and I love it so much. Man, when Lambert or Geralt ruffles Vesemir’s feathers a little too much, I love to think of Vesemir going out to the training grounds and doing drill over drill over drill, and Eskel comes to join him. Sometimes they talk, other times they just fall into sync. Maybe after Vesemir cooks Eskel his favourite soup because he appreciates him being there.

This can also be seen as big, middle or little sibling but I just think he radiates big brother energy so much.

Geralt: oh my gods.

Ciri, dressed as Geralt: it’s like looking in a mirror!

Geralt: no it isn’t, Ciri.

Ciri: who’s ciri?

Yennefer: I already can’t tell who’s who.

Geralt: take that stuff off.

Ciri: Jask, get in here and settle this!!

Geralt: don’t call your father Jask.

Jaskier: what? ohh! hey!! woah, travel sized Geralt, awww!

Geralt: Jaskier, you’re encouraging her.

Dara: I need the bathroo- oh wow, this is confusing.

Geralt: no, it’s not.

Ciri: *Geralt impression* you’re my family and I love you but you’re terrible, you’re all terrible!!

Geralt: I don’t say that.

Yennefer: that’s all you say.

A (very) little sneak peek for a project @vvitchering and I have been working on :)

It’s really the main reason I’m so hooked on Geralt/Eskel right now! I’m very grateful because it’s so much fun developing this, and I can’t wait to show you more!!!

To any Witcher fan who was excited to see Thue as Eskel, let’s still support him! It must have been a really hard decision to quit such a big project and as a Danish actor it’s not as easy to find a big role like a native English speaker would (how many Danish actor do you know who made it big?) And a role in the Witcher would have given him lots of exposure.

We were already in love with him and he’s been very nice to the fans so lets show him lots of love on Instagram and on Twitter (link on reblog cause it won’t show up in tags) to tell him we’re sad to see him go but we wish him good luck and we’re excited to see him do new things. And that just because he’s not in the show anymore it doesn’t mean we’ll forget him! And maybe he can come back to the Witcher in another role.

So maybe just leave him a nice comment on either of those links? Just to show some love and support and good luck for the rest of his career.

Geralt approaching Jaskier from around the corner, doing his best Steve Irwin impression: What a beauty this one is. Just look at this bard luxuriating in its natural habitat. It’s not often we see one of these in the wild, but this is a pure-bred Dumbicus Thotticus.

Jaskier, whipping around to flip him off: (offended bard noises)
