I have been looking for someone that wrote for the witcher books as x reader for awhile, who are your favorite characters ( could be game characters to)
Great question, I really like them all. But I think I have some favourite.
Philippa/Filippa Eilhart
(This is an official visual)
Lord I love her. Badass, lesbian, owl, all the story is literally because of her (I won't spoil for those who haven't read the books). In the games she is perfect, In the books too. I have hopes for the tv show... I wouldn't have choose Cassie Clare (tbf I wanted them to go further in the native theme, because she is so native coded in the games and a bit in the books, and to choose a native american/australian actress), but why not.
Anna Henrietta of Toussaint
From the books a bit, but more from the games. Blood and Wine is an awesome dlc. Queen step on me. I like her sister a bit too. I love how this story is borderline coded. I wrote a fanfiction of her and a maid (being a higher vampire), but turned it into being a part of my original universe. I really love Toussaint in the game, very southern France alike, it's fun.
Cerys An Craite
(Artist : Nikivaszi)
Lord, Cerys... I am a whore for this woman. I want to be her property. Ciri x Cerys is so hot btw. She is the reason why I love the Skellig part so much in the witcher 3.
Emiel Regis Rohellec Terzief Godefroy (Regis)
(Artist : shalizeh)
I don't love him in a romantic way, but he is really cool. I think I prefer him in the books, but I also love him in the game (in which they erased a bit his feminism, pro-lgbt and pro-choice positions and that's why I prefer him in the books). I hope Pedro Pascal will be his actor in the tv show... Same here, I won't spoil, but let's say I relate a lot to his questions about the world.
This man is a greeflag.
Lydia Van Bredevoort
(The artist isn't written on it, if I remember well it's an official visual but not sure...)
I like this sweetie pie (she is only a sweetie pie in the books... wtf Netflix I don't understand why did you do that). We don't see her a lot but... she is cute.
I love Yennefer too (more in the books than in the game btw, in the game I chose Triss), but I think these five really are my favourite. I really like Ciri. And of course, Geralt is really cool. I love his character, his development, his relationship with Yen and Ciri. Jaskier/Dandelion is cool too... But... eh... He cheated on Anna Henrietta so jail now. You can't cheat on her. She is perfect.

Hello! For the "send a character" ask, could I request my favouritest guy Percival Schuttenbach?
Or Lydia van Bredevoort, whichever you are more inclined towards :0
percival
send me a character and i will tell you my:
first impression
didn't care at first. you see from this long post that that changed
impression now
i find him utterly relatable... his excitement about metallurgy is just so special to me... and this bit, when he's too obsessed with admiring the technology that it doesn't register to him that he's being offered a drink for recreation, rather than being asked a question about how something works:
‘Moonshine,’ Zoltan corrected him gently. ‘And what moonshine! Try some, Percival.’
‘But I’m not an expert in organic chemistry,’ the gnome answered absentmindedly, examining the details of the alchemical furnace’s construction. ‘It’s doubtful I would be familiar with the ingredients…’
favorite moment
it's a tie... my first-favorite moment is when percival and zoltan are showing sihill to geralt, and percival just keeps getting so excited about the technology behind the blade:
‘(...) my sihil’s blade was forged from a refined alloy containing graphite and borax…’
‘It’s a modern technique!’ Percival burst out, a little excited, since the conversation was moving inevitably towards his field of expertise. ‘The blade’s construction and composition, numerous laminates in its soft core, edged with hard–not soft–steel…’
‘Take it easy,’ the dwarf said, reining him in. ‘You won’t make a metallurgist out of him, Schuttenbach, so don’t bore him with details.
my second-favorite moment is when they're all freaking out about the alleged witch-girl allegedly cooking her cat in a stew, and percival points out that the cat is sitting right there... and he specifically points out the cat, using his own vocabulary:
‘It’s a shame about that cat,’ Percival Schuttenbach suddenly said in a loud voice. ‘It was a fine beast, sleek and fat. Fur shining like anthracite, eyes like two chrysoberyls, long whiskers, and a tail as thick as a mechanical’s tool! Everything you could want in a cat. He must have caught plenty of mice!’
The peasants fell silent.
‘And how would you know, Master Gnome?’ someone asked. ‘How do you know what the cat looked like?’
Percival Schuttenbach cleared his nose and wiped his fingers on a trouser leg.
‘Because he’s sitting over there on a cart. Right behind you.’
The peasants all turned around at once, muttering as they observed the cat sitting on a pile of bundles. The cat, meanwhile, utterly unconcerned about being the centre of attention, stuck a hind leg up in the air and got down to licking his rump.
idea for a story
i want to know about him and the grail... that was a fun joke from sapkowski, pointing out his namesake, but i want to know about this...
‘A cup…’ Percival Schuttenbach jabbered. ‘A goblet, I mean… Carved from a single piece of milk opal… This big. I found it on the summit of Montsalvat. Its rim was set with jasper and the base was of gold. A sheer marvel…’
‘Don’t give him any more spirits,’ Zoltan Chivay said.
‘Hold on, hold on,’ Dandelion said, becoming interested, also slurring his words somewhat. ‘What happened to that legendary goblet?’
‘I exchanged it for a mule. I needed a mule, in order to transport a load… Corundum and crystalline carbon. I had… Err… Lots of it… Hic… A load, I mean, a heavy load, couldn’t have moved it without a mule… Why the hell did I need that goblet?’
unpopular opinion
it's easier to avoid antisemitic caricatures when drawing gnomes than people think... though this is a complaint i've had for-just-about-ever, that artists need to be more aware of racial/ethnic caricatures so they don't replicate them in their work
another unpopular opinion maybe since i've seen no one's opinion on this yet, but i hate his voice in the chrzest ognia audiodrama, oh my lord...
favorite relationship
asides from his friendship with zoltan, i think his potential friendship with regis would be really fun. my intense special interest-having guysss... my mule-owning guys... nerds <3
another favorite moment, between them:
At the sight of the stove Percival Schuttenbach first stared goggle-eyed, then gaped, and finally sighed and leapt up in the air.
‘Ho, ho, ho!’ he called, unable to conceal his delight. ‘What do I see? That’s an absolutely authentic athanor coupled to an alembic! Equipped with a rectifying column and a copper condenser! A beautiful apparatus! Did you build it yourself, master barber-surgeon?’
‘Indeed,’ Emiel Regis admitted modestly. ‘My work involves producing elixirs, so I have to distil (...)’
favorite headcanon
ern's design for him is the bestest and most supreme in my opinion
---
lydia
send me a character and i will tell you my:
first impression
also didn't care at first. and you see again from this long post that that also changed
impression now
i already wrote a little bit on how lydia and rience are the "as above, so below" between vilgefortz's reveal as antagonist, but:
i think lydia's relationship with vilgefortz and the way he treated her was the first sign, actually a bigger sign than more 'obvious' things like his repeated phrases, research of the elder blood, and attempted tracking of yennefer..., the first and biggest sign that vilgefortz was a bad, bad person.
his way of treating lydia is to use her as a tool, an assistant who will serve him blindly and literally not say a word against him. in other words, total control.
‘Have you ever wondered what happened when Bekker forced the water to gush from the rock? It’s generally put very simply: Bekker tamed the Power. He forced the element to be obedient. He subdued nature; controlled it . . . What is your relationship to women, Geralt?’
‘I beg your pardon?’
Lydia van Bredevoort turned with a whisper of silk and froze in anticipation. Geralt saw she was holding a wrapped-up painting under one arm. He had no idea where the picture had come from, since Lydia had been empty-handed a moment before. The amulet around his neck vibrated faintly. Vilgefortz smiled.
‘I enquired,’ he repeated, ‘as to your views concerning the relationship between men and women.’
‘Regarding what respect of that relationship?’
‘Can obedience, in your opinion, be forced upon women? I’m talking about real women, of course, not just the female of the species. Can a real woman be controlled? Overcome? Made to surrender to your will? And if so, how? Answer me.’
the way it is introduced all makes sense, then:
Everyone knew that Lydia van Bredevoort was in love with Vilgefortz of Roggeveen, that she had loved him for years with a silent, relentless and stubborn love. The wizard, it is to be understood, also knew about this but pretended not to. Lydia made it easier for him by never betraying her feelings to him – she never took the slightest step or made the slightest gesture, transmitted no sign by thought and, even if she could speak, would never have said a word. She was too proud. Vilgefortz, too, did nothing because he did not love Lydia. He could, of course, simply have have made her his lover, tied her to him even more strongly and, who knows, maybe even made her happy. There were those who advised him to do so. But Vilgefortz did not. He was too proud and too much a man of principle. The situation, therefore, was hopeless but stable, and this patently satisfied them both.
vilgefortz knew she was too proud to ever say anything, so he used her love for him to control her.
favorite moment
we don't see it happen, but the attack and then suicide she commits to buy time for vilgefortz is the most tragic thing...
‘How did it happen, Radcliffe?’ asked Triss, withdrawing her hand from the gilded haft of the dagger which was embedded beneath Lydia’s sternum. ‘How could it have happened? This was supposed to be bloodless!’
‘She attacked us,’ muttered the sorcerer and lowered his head. ‘She attacked us as Vilgefortz was being escorted out. There was a scuffle . . . I have no idea . . . It’s her own dagger.’
idea for a story
the way she lost her face...
Four years ago, on Vilgefortz’s – her master’s – recommendation, Lydia had taken part in experiments concerning the properties of an artefact found amongst the excavations of an ancient necropolis. The artefact turned out to be cursed. It activated only once. Of the five wizards taking part in the experiment, three died on the spot. The fourth lost his eyes, both hands and went mad. Lydia escaped with burns, a mangled jaw and a mutation of the larynx and throat (...)
i'd like to explore how vilgefortz manipulated her while she was recovering, espousing (manufactured?) grief and regret, enough to keep her feeling that he cares for her...
unpopular opinion
sometimes characters are just devices to show something about another character. this is the case with lydia and vilgefortz.
favorite relationship
tissaia and lydia's friendship...
Lydia van Bredevoort, delicately conjuring up a tiny flame between her thumb and index finger, lit the candles in the candelabras. Tissaia saw traces of oil paint on her hand. She filed it in her memory so later, after supper, she could ask the young enchantress to show her her latest work. Lydia was a talented artist.
favorite headcanon
lydia was intelligent enough to guess what vilgefortz had planned. she knew, in the back of her mind, how wicked he was, she had figured it out. but was too loyal to him to reveal anything.

Witcher Watch 3x06
That ... was a very sudden ending for Lydia.
The battle of the mages against the elves has some bloody cool shots. Pun intended.
And an equally sudden death for Rience. I suppose the writing idea behind this episode was quick character decimation?
Noo, not Artaud! (But yay, Philippa in owl form!)
Redemption arc for Cahir in the works, huh.
Also, Stregobor doing something that isn't shitty for once.
Almost everyone is in action this episode and I'm here for it. Like, proper action with combat and chaos. Don't get me wrong, I like good intrigues and subtle, clever strategics, but after all the politics of the last few episodes, this was a nice change of pace.
Witcher Watch 3x01 || 3x02 || 3x03 || 3x04 || 3x05

Random Headcanons about the show
Queen Hedwig and Philippa had a long-lasting rivalry at court - one of the reasons Philippa seduced the queen’s chief handmaiden, Eva.
All of this is supported by the fact that Philippa - and Dijkstra - planned to have Ciri married to Vizimir. Hedwig - being barren as mentioned by Vizimir - feared the loss of her royal position and began conspiring with Nilfgaard/Lydia van Bredevoort (who was presenting herself as working for Nilfgaard) - to prevent this, Philippa and Dijkstra have her assassinated and frame Nilfgaard for it - two birds with one stone - get rid of the problematic queen controlling her husband AND turning said husband king against Nilfgaard
And finally, you only dress up like THIS for the funeral of a bitch you hated with all your guts. This look says it all. Philippa slayed the queen... and then she slayed at her funeral.

Exploring ancient tombs
Jack [long-living human, water type healer wizard, watches over the group ]
Tattoos + skin reconstruction = covering spell. Similar to a spell on Lydia van Bredevoort from The Witcher books. It is common for healers to wear tattoos on their own skin.
Maria [ half-beast mutant, fox species, rouge, scientist, group leader, explores dead bodies ]. Sketch
Tool - Vicarious

Triss smooths her thumbs over the flawless skin under Lydia’s eyes, the rest of her fingers fanning over the ruins of the woman’s lower face, her jaw and chunks of her neck missing completely, skillfully reconstructed with illusion but not real enough to touch. Just gnarls of twisted flesh catching unpredictably on Triss’s fingertips.
She wonders what Lydia can feel.
Triss feels only the vaguest hints of pressure where Lydia’s fingers trace the scar tissue that covers her breasts.
Triss feels nothing as Lydia observes her disfigurement.
Triss presses their foreheads together and slides her fingers over Lydia’s hips nonetheless.

Quick test
I really want to write a Lydia Van Bredevoort x reader right now but... who tf knows Lydia ?
I mean...
She's no psychopath, she's really cute (in the books, bcz in Netflix adaptation she's... well... Idk). I love the way she's calm and don't talk and even if we don't see her much, we know she what she likes and we can see she's respectful and respected (and I find scars really attractive).

Vilgefortz of Roggeveen (d. 1268) was a Kovirian mage and the de facto leader of the Chapter of the Gift and the Art, the highest ranked of the Brotherhood of Sorcerers. He also had a couple other personal apprentices in the form of Rience and Lydia van Bredevoort, with the latter acting as both his assistant and personal secretary.
