So uhh guess who just started reading the tower of the swallow 😀😀

i NEED the yennskier premonition scene to happen in s4 like i will actually die if we won’t get it… the implications of geralt and cahir having prophetic dreams about ciri because they love her and are so worried about her and jaskier having them about yennefer and keeping them from geralt… andrzej sapkowski you’re a sick bastard for feeding my delusion like that

If Avallac'h were using a normal-sized brush, it would take him a long time to finish coloring the purple buffalo.

New favorite quotes from the books

Geralt: Jaskier, don't sleep on your saddle !

Jaskier : I don't sleep, i am thinking creatively !

I love that Sapkowski just stopped to put this dialog there. Like stop! This is important. And narratively it makes sense as after the break it's Jaskier memories.

Full bellies, empty bellies. Ha, more often empty. I've eaten everything that crawls, anything you can fucking catch. And things that fly? I even ate a child's kite once, 'cause it was made of flour and water paste.

Inspired by Angstpril and Whumpril prompts.

Denis Gordeev's Witcher art is so good. They're all so chaotic and unhinged, but also have that 80s fantasy novel vibe. I love them

She's a clever and essentially good woman... But she doesn't have any scruples. She is ruthless. And merciless.

The Tower of the Swallow (Andrzej Sapkowski)

Me when my favorite teenage female characters commit mass murder:

Ciri doing Murder on Ice was not on my Witcher books bingo card.

“Why should I give up revenge? On behalf of what? Moral principles? And what of the higher order of things, in which evil deeds are punished? For you, a philosopher and ethicist, an act of revenge is bad, disgraceful, unethical and illegal. But I ask: where is the punishment for evil? Who has it and grants access? The Gods, in which you do not believe? The great demiurge-creator, which you decided to replace the gods with? Or maybe the law? [...] I know what evil is afraid of. Not your ethics, Vysogota, not your preaching or moral treaties on the life of dignity. Evil is afraid of pain, mutilation, suffering and at the end of the day, death! The dog howls when it is badly wounded! Writhing on the ground and growls, watching the blood flow from its veins and arteries, seeing the bone that sticks out from a stump, watching its guts escape its open belly, feeling the cold as death is about to take them. Then and only then will evil begin to beg, 'Have mercy! I regret my sins! I'll be good, I swear! Just save me, do not let me waste away!'. Yes, hermit. That is the way to fight evil! When evil wants to harm you, inflict pain - anticipate them, it's best if evil does not expect it. But if you fail to prevent evil, if you have been hurt by evil, then avenge him! It is best when they have already forgotten, when they feel safe. Then pay them in double. In triple. An eye for an eye? No! Both eyes for an eye! A tooth for a tooth? No! All their teeth for a tooth! Repay evil! Make it wail in pain, howling until their eyes pop from their sockets. And then, you can look under your feet and boldly declare that what is there cannot endanger anyone, cannot hurt anyone. How can someone be a danger, when they have no eyes? How can someone hurt when they have no hands? They can only wait until they bleed to death.” ― Andrzej Sapkowski, The Tower of The Swallow

"Oh, my flames of vanity, how hard it is for the artist in me to quench my soul."—— Avallac'h

This is the final portrait of Avallac'h that I painted this year

By the way, I'd like to share my first fan art of Avallac'h that I drew this year. It's a simple doodle because he is quite unfamiliar to me, and I didn't know how to draw him. XD

Andrzej Sapkowski, The Tower of the Swallow

the fact that both yen and ciri had visions of geralt having sex with fringilla.... embarassing for that man. i KNOW he was ashamed

The snag was that Lara Dorren wasn’t an ordinary she-elf. She was genetic potential. Especially prepared. The results of many years’ work. In combination with another charge — an elven one, naturally — she was meant to bear an even more special child. Engaging with the seed of man, she ruined that chance, wasted hundreds of years’ planning and preparation. At least so it was thought at the time.
