i’ve been playing a lot of meditative comfort games recently and i am currently kind of obsessed with the idea of Yennefer as a Moth-Long favored by the Ring-Yew. the principle of change and metamorphosis, chaos and secrecy? the Hour of desire and relentlessness, a God-from-Flesh whose other principles are Heart, of ceaselessness and protection, and Grail, of birth and thirsting? a pathway to ascension marked by the shedding of one’s flesh for new shapes, the trading of form and life for power? like, that’s Yenna!!
#my niche crossover headcanons are sexy and irrefutable 😌#‘The Ring-Yew commanded I bare my flesh and I obeyed. I will not always obey the Ring-Yew.’ LIKE#frankly when i say ‘of the Ring-Yew’ i mean ‘ascended under the Ring-Yew‚ now an Obliviate in opposition to the Hours’ rule’#Ciri is Knock like her mother btw; of openings and gateways‚ oracles and wounds#Geralt is Winter: of grieving‚ quiet‚ death and kindness by death#Dandelion is 100% mundane and everyone is working so so hard to prevent him from getting ritually sacrificed#Philippa is Edge & a Long of the Colonel (‘the actual canon polymorph should be Moth’ u say pffffft ok fine acknowledged but consider this)#(the Colonel gave his sight for power; the patient‚ lethal‚ & cunning; the counterrevolutionary & promoter of current power status quos)#(but also the one who stands against the Worms in the World just as Philippa stands against the White Frost)#so u might ask: does that make Yen’s rival Philippa? the answer is no. chiefest among Yen’s obstacles is Emhyr#Emhyr is Lantern and of the Sun-in-Rags; and more than anything he wants the daughter he fathered with the Long Pavetta returned to him#(he is consumed by it. no one knows if Emhyr himself was a Long when he fathered Ciri—but they whisper)#(supporters of his point out if Emhyr had been Long then it would likely have been Pavetta who committed the Crime of the Sky)#(...unless Pavetta made a deal in secrecy with a reluctant reckoner for him to take her child to save its life ohoho)#also listen Yen would never if she could avoid it—the House is no place for lovers#but TELL me if she wanted that Geralt wouldn't LET Yenna kill him & root the Wood in his rotting lungs so he could follow her to the Mansus#hot.#laurelnose.txt#i made this post for Me but if you need context it’s about#yen of the Moth#secret histories tag
