I Found Someone Who Looked Like The Perfect Eskel. So Much So I Had To Draw It

I found someone who looked like the perfect Eskel. So much so I had to draw it

Quarantine activity: take old doodles and try to make them look better.

And I have tons of Eskel to draw again XD

Let’s make a list of things Jaskier does because of ADHD. This is coming from a person with adhd and anyone is free to add things, anyways—

Sometimes while walking, Jaskier could be talking about this amazing song he’s come up with and after taking a small pause he will forget whatever he was going to say and the topic he was just talking about

He may forget the face of someone or their name after just meeting them, but if you ask him about an historical event, he’ll go off

Don’t go to the market with Jaskier, because he’s very quick at planning on what things he needs and finding the fastest way to get to one tent to the other

(Geralt has lost him more than once)

He can also multi task very, very well. Geralt saw him having a conversation while writing a letter for someone else

But, if you give him anything to read like a book or contract, or have him count money, give him a second sometimes it takes reading it over and over again for him

Sometimes inside voices doesn’t exist for Jaskier

Before getting to talk to someone for contract information, Jaskier will do a shake down, just kind of shakes his head, shoulders, and hands

When he’s got a lot of energy inside, sometimes he’ll bounce his leg so hard he forces himself to stand up, walking around helps too

Another thing when he sits, he’s sometimes gets really happy or excited about playing, so he taps his feet(sometimes without realizing)

Geralt learns some very interesting facts about music and the instruments and history behind them, It’s one of Jaskier favourite topics to share

Along with music, he will also share, in detail, information about how boats stay afloat, what certain ropes are for, slang they use, etc.

He won’t share how or why he knows this.

Did i basically write down things I’ve done because of ADHD for Jaskier? That’s for me to know. Again, anyone is free to add stuff.

Here’s my @thewitchersecretsanta gift for @pressedinthepages :D!! 

Thank you so much for your patience, dear Erica! I was so lucky to be assigned you, having seen you in my own notifications before :’> and since I saw you had previously reblogged some of my Geskel comics, I decided to draw one for you as well! You wanted to have something fluffy and nice, and “if that’s my jam”, a bit of smut. Clearly there’s no smut here //D! But I tried to incorporate the idea of potential smut in the fictional future, hohoho.

I hope you had a splendid time celebrating if you celebrated any kind of holiday, and I wish you all the best for the new year!!!

Thinking about largely nonverbal Geralt, who expresses himself through gestures and facial expressions and non-speech sounds, and who tries so very hard to make himself understood.

Not that anybody listens, because they see the white hair and yellow eyes and they think monster, and they certainly don’t hang around long enough to make the effort to hear what he’s saying.

At least Roach understands him, and she doesn’t mind whether he’s using words or making sounds or just petting her mane. She doesn’t demand that he speaks, and that’s one reason he prefers her company to humans. He figures he’ll never really be able to communicate with them.

Until he meets Jaskier. For all that Jaskier never stops talking, he actually listens remarkably well too. When Geralt hmms unhappily, Jaskier will rethink and backtrack what he’s just said, and when he hmms teasingly, Jaskier will grin. It makes Geralt feel that perhaps he isn’t impossible to understand after all.

When Geralt uses signs, Jaskier watches attentively and talks back to him. When he writes or doodles on scraps of paper, Jaskier sits by him and writes in his own notebook. When he grunts or growls, Jaskier will pause his monologues long enough to say Well of course you’d say that or Don’t start with me or I know, Geralt, but the truth is so much more poetic when it’s embellished.

It’s remarkable, this feeling of being understood. Of not feeling compelled to form words, not having to force himself to grind out vocalizations that feel like sand in his mouth. No obligations, no pressure, no tying himself in knots trying to spit out awkward, stilted speech. For the first time, he’s being heard without words.

And anyway, Jaskier talks enough for both of them.

Do you think the boys believe in Krampus?? Like it’s really silly to think of Geralt and Eskel retelling stories told to them by older(teen) Witcher’s about Krampus and scaring the rest of the boys. Truth be told they were also scared of Krampus too but they had reputations to uphold with the other small children there so they pretended they weren’t.

That is until one of the nights during the first snow storm of winter season, the boys help pull out home made candles to chat some more with older Witcher’s home for the rest, instreated by the stories they told, and are startled by the rattling of the keep doors. There was a snowstorm, so it wasn’t so scary. Then the doors really began to rattle, something maybe a snowstorm really couldn’t do, thought the two as Geralt and Eskel glanced at each other.

The older Witcher’s attention isn’t so disrupted but more of the younger boys give each other all looks in concern, Eskel scooting over and sitting closer to each other. After that, it was quiet and stayed that way until one of the instructors told the boys to let the wolves rest, they’ll be there in the morning, and they’re all sent to bed.

Cut to the room the boys are staying in, a large room with small beds inside of it all out of order and some crocked with day clothes scattered around. They had a few busy days before the older Witcher’s got home, and they prepared the keep and food for them, along with supplies for the next year on the path, so Geralt and Eskel and the other boys were out like a light.

Suddenly the sturdy wooden door is thrown against the wall with a loud thud that rumbles the room and shakes the beds, causing most of— if not all boys to jump up in surprise and only scream at what they saw at the door.

Krampus hismelf.

If anyone else was still asleep after the door, they were woken up by the startled screams of the children. Krampus reaches up quickly and pulled off what looks like a gigantic goats head and put it aside, revealing it’s dirty secret. When they saw it was Vesemir, they broke into tears after being scared and Eskel was the first to run to him for comfort, soon followed by more kids.

How it happened, was Vesemir was told by a younger kid(totally Lambert) about the stories of Krampus. This youngling was going off about how if he even tried coming to Kaer Morhen, it’d be over for that guy. Vesemir had some of the returning Witcher’s bring back supplies and by the end of the night after calming all the kids down and getting a good chuckle, it was very much all worth it.
