i am in love with your sollux i think

sollux love party :]

if you’re interested heres some of my personal fondness thoughts on him.. big warning for the mega long read ahead aye

as we alr know sollux's rejection of participation somewhat mirrors dave's rejection of heroism, but even without getting cooked to completion i still find sollux's character v compelling beyond the fourth wall

as someone who doesnt get a pinch of that Protagonist Sparkle to begin with, he can openly say he wants to leave anytime…. and unlike dave, he actually Can leave the scene anytime. but he can never be truly Free from the story via permanent character death like the other trolls.

his irrelevancy is indeed relevant - he’s there so u can point him out.

while his image is intended to be a relic of past internet subculture, his role is not only about hehehaha being a Chad or a 2000s cyberforum 2²chan haxxor ragequit gamebro.

his continued existence also happens to add a Bit to the overarching themes of homestuck! a Bit that gives him longer-lasting thematic relevance compared to the trolls who could’ve had more character potential but didnt get to survive beyond the main story.

the Bit in question:

his defiance contributes to the illusion of agency (treating characters = people with autonomy). he’s “aware” of it, and that recognition is worth noting enough to forcibly keep him alive as both reward and punishment.

considering how his personality & classpect is designed its definitely a very haha thing for hussie to do LOL. he’s made to be op asf so he's resigned to doing dirty work, gradually deteriorating along the way but never truly dying. as fans have mentioned before, him openly rejecting involvement after a while of grim tolerance is like if the sim u were controlling suddenly stopped, looked up and gave u the finger while u were step six into the walkthrough for Every Possible Sim Death Animation.

but since he’s just a sim… the more he hates it, the more you keep him around. if ur sim started complaining abt your whimsical household storyline you’d definitely keep that little fuck.

but yeah i like that sollux is just idling. the significance of his presence being that one dude who's always reliably Somewhere, root core Unchanged, no individual ambitions (possibly due to fear of consequence?), and design-wise: a staple representative product of his time.

compared to dirk's character, who has aged phenomenally well into the present (themes of control + AR + artificial intelligence, clearer exploration around navigating relationships/sexuality, infinite possibilities of self-splinterhood and trait inheritance), sollux's potential is really... contained. bitter. defeatist. limiting and frustrating in the way old tech is.

the world continues moving on to shinier, brighter, more advanced automated things - minimalist and metaverse or whatever but sollux is still here 🧍‍♂️ going woohoo redblue 3d. (tho personally i imagine his vibe similar to what the kids call cassette futurism on pinterest mixed w more grimy grunge insectoid influences eheh)

conceptually-speaking,

at the foundation of it all, the rapid pace of modern development was built off the understanding of ppl like sollux in the past, who were There actively at work while the dough was still beginning to rise

thats one of the cool things abt the idea of trolls preceding humans! the idea that trolls like sollux excelled back when lots of basic shit still needed to be discovered, building structures like networks and codes from scratch, and humans will eventually inherit and reinvent that knowledge in ways that become so optimized it makes the old manual effort seem archaic, slow, and labour-intensive.

but despite information/resources/shortcuts being more accessible now, much of the new highly-anticipated stuff released on trend still end up unfinished, inefficient, or expiring quickly due to cutting corners under severe capitalistic pressures

meanwhile, some of the old stuff frm past generations of thorough, exploratory and perfectionistic development still remains working, complete, and ever so sturdy.

those things continue to exist, just outside our periphery with either:

zero purpose left for modern needs (outdated/obsolete)

far too important to replace or destroy, bcs of its surprisingly essential and circumstantial usefulness in one niche specific area.

which are honestly? both points that sum up sollux pree well.

dramatic ending sorry. anw are u still on the fence or are u Sick abt him like me </3

#ask #anon #sollux captor #homestuck #hs2 spoilers #2023 #vioart #hs2 sollux explaining girls and bitches to john: 🗣️🗣️🗣️#mr foods‚ setting up the visuals: LMAO ok pause. cool story bro theyre all gone its just u n ur sandwich bro.#now that i think abt it sol's kind of a toaster? awkwardly takes up countertop space #lacks the versatility and sociability of an air fryer/pressure cooker. unwashed and littered w crumbs!#but sometimes the clear‚ frank simplicity of the toaster is a temporary lifesaver for ppl who struggle w low appetite / decision fatigue #or ppl who just have a habit of eating toast for breakfast LOL #and eh ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯ even if u dont feel like toasting today thats ok he's still gonna be sitting there 👍👍#a funnyman..... i curse him in my pan but root for him in my biscuit 🫶

since we all appear to be talking about izzy 'calling the police' on stede id like to offer my silly little two cents:

its not like the navy wasn't actively looking for him anyway??????

at most, izzys actions sped up badminton catching up with stede, but its made very clear that badminton wanted Stede dead well before this, and was willing to use whatever he could to find him- whos to say jackie wouldnt have cut a deal on her own? that any other pirate thats seen them being unsubtle in a port wouldn't take the opportunity to make a quick buck over a guy who is Nobody and holds no influence that could lead to any consequences for them?

in reality izzy is probably the only person who would receive negative repercussions to selling out stede, given his personal connection with ed- any other pirate would probably have gotten away unscathed, anonymous. they likely wouldnt have even been present like izzy was. izzy had personal stakes, anyone else would have taken the money and ran

the way i see it, with or without izzy the events of episode 10 probably would have happened in some degree, izzy just expedited the timeline

#like ok. i dont exactly support izzys actions but i honestly dont see it as that big of a deal??? to our characters i mean #idk i just. its a dick move!! but i struggle to see it as any more than that #its the actions of a desperate man who made a stupid decision to get his.... ed. out of what he saw as a bad situation #whether it is or not i cant say! but you cant deny ed drastically changed in the time he was on the revenge #in a way that could be concerning from the outside #(i saw a good post kinda comparing it to your friend ending up in a cult and. yeah. excellent description from an outside perspective)#idk theres a lot of. undertones in the way people say 'calling the police' and also they always say ed too and its like. no! izzy tried to #get ed out of there! he set the navy on everyone BUT ed. and its not like the navy really cared about the crew. only stede #i am not the person to talk about why 'calling the cops' is a bad take but the posts are out there. ive seen them.#izzy did what hundreds of pirates did to save their own hide- including hornigold himself (but honestly that was worse because he actively #turned hunter. not just a guy with a tip)#also side historic note that uhh. the navy was casually in Nassau. what exactly was the situation there??? was shit occurring. w #we know it did in history #idk #nyxtalks #ofmd #izzy hands #israel hands #spanish jackie 🤝 izzy: girlbosses for selling stede out to the British/Spanish for their own gain #idk i think thats the one thing he did 'wrong' but ita still very sympathetic to me #its not like izzy dibbed in a guy nobody cared about #'hey hey ill sell you information about this pirate please let me sell you information' ' i mean i guess we are supposed to be doing that'#badminton had an active vendetta against stede and kinda seemed like. he would stop at nothing to get him???#given. the whole 'id rather let blackbeard go and kill Stede than take a huge pirate into custody' thing

it's kinda weird that shadow is known as the guy that uses guns all the time when there's like. zero undeniably canon instances of him using a gun. as far as i can remember the only media where hes shown using guns is shadow the hedgehog (the game) and he has one on the boxart yeah but if i remember correctly he doesnt have one in any of the cutscenes except for the opening animation thing but i wouldnt consider that part of the story just a montage of things that Could happen depending on what choices you make. and within the actual levels there ARE weapons you can use but theyre not all guns and the one you use, if you even use one at all, is entirely up to you the player shadow doesn't just grab a gun and make you use it. and while using a gun definitely makes the game easier there are very few missions where it's actually a requirement. plus due to the nature of the choose your own path thing its unclear which missions actually happened so we dont even know if the parts where you have to use a gun happened for real. and after this one single game shadow never used a gun again as far as i know. this whole idea of shadow being obsessed with guns and using them all the time doesnt really have much canon basis if anything it makes more sense for tails to be known as the gun guy considering hes the one who actually uses weapons like all the time

#this isnt even about whether or not it would make sense for shadow to be comfortable using guns considering his trauma #this is about the fact that he doesnt actually use guns as much as people act like he does #like i have to wonder how many of these people actually know much about shadow? both the character AND the game #also tails being the guy who uses guns all the time is just way funnier. like imagine youre a sonic villain. or just a villain in general #the hero shows up to defeat you and all of a sudden their cute baby sibling who follows them around everyone pulls out a giant gun #and aims it at you #funniest thing ever #also if it was any other game that let you use a gun while playing as shadow id be like ok yeah thats canon he uses guns #but like . again in shadows game youre making a bunch of decisions for him and its unclear what he actually did in universe #and if the guns are never shown in any of the cutscenes. we dont know if he ever used them

when you portray pip as the "smarter" one in the dip relationship please remember that neither of them has a brain

#hes not 'smart' hes just politer . a smart person would not [insert like any canon pip moment][i have too many examples in mind]#gott dries #sp dip #actually damien was shown thinking. his firework idea actually worked. show me a single decision pip made that helped him in life #ok maybe like one where he sued cartman but thats it. it actually didnt require that much thinking from his side

Yeah so as expected, it seems like first quantum minerals will be taking the panamanian government to an international court now (arbitration will apparently take place in florida).

I guess there's nothing panama can do at this point but just present our case and hope they don't win, but honestly it's making me angry. I can't even tell you guys how shady this company is.... They did so much illegal shit and covered it up, but bc they have so much money and power/influence nearly every news outlet in other countries is like "well the company denied those allegations" and leaves it at that.

I also want to add that they did something really similar in the congo, where the DRC government revoked a contract and forced FQM out bc they had breached it's terms SO many times. They also left the congo completely in ruins with massive amounts of pollution and damage to the land (which is exactly what they want to do to us here, and would have if we hadn't fought against it and managed to win), and contributed massively to the situation going on in the congo right now too. Not to mention how much damage they were ALREADY doing here in panama, like the locals have been getting sick for years and the water supply is already poisoned in the region where their mine is.

And it still seems like barely anybody in canada has a clue this is all going on??? It sucks knowing I don't have a big enough platform to bring more international awareness to all this myself, but I also am not good at writing and putting things into words lmao.

But anyway... now that they can't tell photographers to go away, we have more pictures of the mine itself (as it is right now) and it really is enormous already. Like knowing how much more it was going to expand is insane, and right in the middle of a rainforest literally full of endangered animals. It's still such a relief to know this was stopped for good even though its pissing me off how they won't even leave without trying to suck as much money as possible out this country and hurt us as much as possible in the process.

(Here's some of those pictures before I end up ranting more though lmao)

#I had to stop reading articles about it from US news outlets bc it was making me so angry how many of them are on FQM's side too #and there's this really prevalent attitude thats like #subtly implying our entire population of 4 million people are somehow all too stupid to understand a good business deal #and sabotaged our own future by not wanting to host what would be one of the biggest mines in the world + endless other mining operations #like yeah ok. sure.#it was a bad decision to not want most of the country to become a toxic wasteland like the other places they exploited for resources #while having even more money stolen from us at the same time.....😐#but sorry this post is so long jsdgfgjsdgs I just had to vent #long post #🐊

ʰᵉᵃᵈᵉʳ ᵇʸ // @buggyandthebartoclub // ♡

Another fun, bright day aboard the Thousand Sunny welcomed you when you woke, yawning loudly and rubbing at your eyes as you pulled yourself from bed. Quickly doing your usual morning routine, you made your way to the kitchen, hiding another yawn behind your hand as you opened the door.

As always, Sanji had just poured you a cup of fresh coffee, throwing you a wide grin as he called out softly,

"Good morning, Y/N-chan! Did you rest well?"

Your cheeks burned, thinking back to the incredibly filthy dream of him you were enjoying before the sun began to rise and blinded you, even behind your eyelids. You waved him off with a laugh, ignoring how he was staring at you with his own cheeks lightly dusted pink, a curious look in his eye.

"I slept just fine, Sanji-kun. How did you sleep?"

You sat at your usual spot, picking up your mug with a soft groan and taking a sip, humming softly at the perfect taste.

"I... slept."

Your eyebrow rose as you looked him over, noting the slightly dark circles under his eyes with a frown on your face. His breath caught in his throat at your expression, giving a sheepish chuckle as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Don't lie to me, Sanji."

He gave a light laugh, throwing you a wink (or did he just blink?) as he meandered over to the stove, turning it down as he gave whatever was in the pan a quick stir.

"I'd never lie to you, Y/N-Chan!"

You rolled your eyes as you sat back, watching him do his thing as you sipped your coffee. Your eyes followed his body as he moved around, almost dancing around the kitchen. His movements were mesmerizing, feeling almost hypnotized by how flawless he seemed.

Placing a plate in front of you, you blinked a few times as you came out of your daze, giving another soft hum as you took in your breakfast. Realizing he made your favourite, you placed a hand over your heart and gave him a blinding smile.

"Thank you so much Sanji, you spoil me!"

Little pink hearts floated above his head as you praised him, his body swaying almost noodle like as he moved back to the stove.

"Ah, you spoil me with your beauty, Y/N! The least I could do to repay that is make you something you love."

He turned back around and stopped, blinking in shock as he took in your empty plate, the back of your hand wiping your mouth as a grin slid over it.

"Absolutely fantastic, as always!"

Sanji was quiet for a moment until laughter bubbled up from his chest, the sound loud and genuine as he covered his face with a lithe hand. Your face burned harshly, embarrassment rising in you as you barked out nervously,

"What's so goddamn funny, huh?!"

Sanji wiped at his eye, genuinely crying from laughing so hard, only for his expression to change immediately as Zoro walked through the door, an irritated scowl on his own face.

"Why the hell are you being so goddman loud this early, shitty cook?!"

Zoro threw a heavy hand on your head, giving it an affectionate rub with a chuckle as you swatted at his hand, a small grin washing over your own lips at the action. Sanji immediately aimed a kick at his head, swearing out,

"Don't fuckin' touch her, shitty Marimo! You don't deserve to lay your nasty ass hands on the beautiful Y/N!"

Zoro barked out a laugh, blocking the kick with a sheathed Wado as he snarked back,

"I don't hear her complainin', ugly ass waiter!"

You rolled your eyes, finishing off your coffee and getting up from the table, grabbing your plate and empty cup with a joking sigh. You walked past the two boys fighting easily, knowing they'd never get you in the middle of their spat. Placing the dishes in the sink, you began filling it before calling out loudly,

"BREAKFAST!"

The sudden thudding of multiple sets of feet flooded the Sunny, shouts of excitement ringing out from Luffy, Ussop and Brook echoing in the kitchen. It wasn't long til the other members crawled in, Robin being the last as she ran a hand through wet hair.

"Thank you, Y/N. I left you some hot water for the shower if you need," She commented as she sat down, smiling up at you as you placed a cup of tea in front of her.

"Thank you Robin, I definitely do want to shower, I appreciate that!"

Turning back to the sink, you turned the water off and began doing the dishes, ignoring Sanji's pleas of leaving them for him to do. You simply laughed, replying gently,

"Sanji, eat some breakfast and relax. You do more than enough, it's really the least I could do."

He faltered as you turned to give him a bright smile, his heart pounding in his chest as more little hearts floated above his head. He sighed lovingly, smoke leaving his lips and curling up into a cigarette-flavoured heart and you rolled your eyes again, turning back to the dishes.

You listened to the chatter of your crewmates, a small smile gracing your lips as you gently scrubbed a pot, making sure to take care of the metal. It wasn't long til their plates lined up beside the sink, nearly everyone giving you a pat on the shoulder in thanks, or a tight hug in Luffys case. That just infuriated Sanji, kicking his Captain quite literally out of the kitchen which pulled a laugh from you.

You weren't sure why Sanji was so overprotective of you, but you didn't mind, thinking it a form of affection from the love cook. You noticed he always treated women with respect but you, he treated just a little different. The look in his eye when you are the first person he sees in the morning, the way his smile twitches when you say something cute, or the way his cheeks burn when you say his name... it was almost too adorable for you.

Sanji suddenly appeared next to, warmth blossoming over your skin as his hand met your lower back as he reached just in front of you to grab a towel. Your eyes flickered to the side, catching him glancing down at you at the same time, and both your faces burned, his hand slowly pulling away from you. You bit back a frown, pulling the middle of the bottom lip into your teeth as you tried to fight off the urge to kiss Sanji.

"Y/N? You okay?"

Your head snapped to the side, eyes wide as you looked to him, asking dumly,

"Huh?"

His eyebrow rose and he puffed out a laugh, smoke flowing out the side of his mouth like an upwards waterfall.

"You looked like you were in pain."

Your eyes shifted to the side as an awkward laugh left your lips, your gaze meeting his again as you somehow bit out,

"Oh, nope, I am oh-kay!"

You gave him a grin that didn't reach your eyes and he frowned slightly, crossing his arms over his chest as he asked,

"Are you lying to me, Y/N?"

You froze, your hands half in the soapy water and eventually you pulled them out, wiping your hands on your pants before you crossed your own arms, hip leaning against the sink. You stared each other down for a moment, the air thick and heavy as your heart rang like thunder in your chest. Your mouth fell open just slightly, no sound coming out as you tried to formulate words. Sensing your inner conflict, Sanji gently tossed the dish towel aside and took the two steps forwards to close the gap between you, his soft yet firm hands moving to hold your arms just under your shoulders.

Your entire face turned tomato red and Sanji chuckled, his thumbs lovingly rubbing over your flesh softly.

"Sanji..."

He almost jumped, not expecting your voice to suddenly meet his ears and he looked down at you, your doe eyes wide and almost desperate as you breathed out,

"What do you want from me, Sanji?"

The chef stilled, his hands still on you as he thought over your words seriously. There were few things the man truly wanted and desired in his life, and he decided then that he wanted to add you to his list. His hands barely squeezed, just enough to ground you as he replied in a soft murmur,

"I want your love."

Your breath caught in your throat as tears pricked your eyes, a slightly confused grin washing over her lips as she asked just as softly,

"R-really?"

He grinned in response, taking a hand away to flick his cigarette out one of the open windows before cupping your cheek, his thumb brushing over your cheek as he confidently replied,

"Hell yeah."

You couldn't help but laugh, pressing a kiss to his palm which caused him to nearly faint, blood dripping from his nose as you finally replied,

"Then I guess it's yours, Sanji."

A breathless moan left you as long fingers brushed over your clothed cunt, a soft hiss pulling from the blonde man above you as he murmurs lowly,

"Already soaked, princess..."

His lips brush over yours, swallowing another moan as one finger presses past the fabric, sliding over your soaked cunt teasingly slow. Your eyes roll back as he chokes, his finger slipping into you easily and pulling a louder groan from you.

His other hand gently meets your lips and he chuckles breathlessly in your ear, slipping a second finger in as he whispers,

"Stay quiet, love. You can do that for me, can't you?"

You nodded quickly, tears of pleasure prickling your eyes. Sanji grins down at you as he begins to pump in and out, the slick sounds of him finger fucking you filling you with a filthy heat you never experienced before. It isn't long til you're close, whimpering and whining under his movements, and the chef only smiles as he whispers in your ear,

"Cum for me."

#mandie mumbles ; fanfics #ok to rb #one piece #vinsmoke sanji #sanji #op sanji #one piece sanji #idk how i feel abt this one #i dont feel i really did sanji justice but thats not my decision lmao #PLEASE TELL ME IF I DID I GOOD JOB 😭😭😭😭😭

It's a pleasant night. His belly is full, his feet throbs after dancing all over the tavern like he was the eighteen-year-old bard he used to be. He's no longer that foolish child, not after everything. The only thing, the only one, who remains from the eighteen-year-old Jaskier is Geralt. Jaskier smiles at the thought.

Speaking of certain witcher, he's sitting on the chair by the window, the light from the fire coloring his side with an auspicious orange hue. He’s so handsome.

It's been a while since the last time he traveled with Geralt, quite a while since the last time they were traveling to a big town. Oxenfurt specifically. That's the reason he feels so content, lightheaded in the best of ways and a little bit excited. You see, he's received a letter from the university. He will be named Artist of the Decade in a major award (obviously) as part of the Oxenfurt Music and Arts festival. Artist of the decade, him, Jaskier. Valdo Marx shited in his pants when the results were published, Jaskier imagines.

"I hope he'd be there! I want to see his cherry plump face when I'm called to the stage. ‘Vulgar art’ he said, he called me untalented, the bastard" The bard is beginning to remove his clothes before going to bed, he's undoing the laces of his boots while talking like eighteen-year-old Jaskier used to. "I'm sure he'll be there. That snake. There was a time he told everyone at the music guild that the lyrics of my song were false, that you weren't even my friend!”

"The lyrics are not exactly true" says Geralt in the background, Jaskier ignores him.

"Oh oh oh I want to see his face when he sees you there"

“Jaskier” Geralt calls

"Take that mister 'i'm better than you' "

“Jaskier” Geralt calls

"Yes, darling?" Jaskier responds with affectionate exasperation. He's having a big monologue here and that's the moment Geralt decides he wants to add to the conversation. He's been quiet lately.

"I'm not going" Jaskier feels a cold blow on the center of his chest. His heart hunching on itself at registering those words. He understands perfectly well what he witcher means but decides to play dumb anyway. "Where, darling?" and apparently Geralt wants to play dumb too because he stays silent.

"Can I ask why?" Jaskier crosses his arms in front of his chest, already defensive and Geralt is there, still sitting, with a somber expression. This is going to end in an argument, both of them can tell.

"I can't"

"Alright..." Geralt hates being prompt to talk when the conversation is tense, but Jaskier can help it, doesn't want to.

"I'm sorry" at least here the witcher looks remorseful.

"No, no, Geralt. You promised!"

I'm sorry, Jaskier, plans have changed..." Jaskier takes two steps forward and Geralt stands raising his hands in a placating manner.

"What has changed...?" And then Jaskier remembers, the black speck against the window in the middle of the night a week ago. "Does this have something to do with that raven" Geralt growls, sometimes he forgets this bard used to be a Redanian spy. “Is it because of Yennefer?”

"I'm sorry" Geralt nods, giving the truth. "Is important"

"This is important to!"

And now the bard is shouting at Geralt, he hates doing that, but the witcher is not helping either.

“It’s an award, you have plenty”

“It’s NOT an award, is THE award”

They are standing in front of the other, speaking at the other in the face, up this close Jaskier can see the pattern of tiny scars all over Geralt's face. The bard takes a couple of calming breaths, trying to keep his temper. He hates arguing with the witcher. "Can't she wait?" he asks, but Geralt only denies with his head, already so sure "What is it about?" the witcher doesn't reply "You don't even know!" there goes Jaskier temper again, the bard throws his arms in the air, exasperated and frustrated. This is important to him, and Geralt knew it and it pains him to realize that the witcher would so easily push him aside. A if Jaskier achievements aren't a thing to cherish and celebrate, as if... he's not important. "She didn't tell, she said It's important" Geralt said followed by a heavy sigh indicating that he thought Jaskier was being childish.

"This is important to me, Geralt - "

" - I know..."

" I asked you to come last year, remember? I told you that I might win the award and you promised you’ll come! I know you don't like big cities but..."

“-It's not that. She needs me” I need you too. "Last time I spoke to her she told me that if she needed my help she'll send a raven."

And that's it. Jaskier can feel his heart turning into dust and falling heavily to the pit of his stomach. It's not the same as the mountain, but it feels similar in a way. Jaskier is realizing just how much he means to Geralt. Again. Jaskier holds Geralt's eyes from below, at least the witcher have the decency to look remorseful.

"I know I promised, i'm sorry that I can't keep my word. But this is important" More important, Jaskier reads between lines.

And then after a long, resigned sigh the bard murmurs "Whatever" It keeps happening, repeatedly, suddenly and inexplicably he keeps getting hurt by his own naivety by thinking that someday Geralt would choose him, not over Yennefer, Ciri or the other witchers. Just choose him because he wants to. Because it's fair, because Jaskier wants to be choose.

He likes Yennefer now, he even caughts himself sometimes thinking of her with love. The kind of love you have for the one that makes your true love happy. But he also knows that she can fend for herself and that is possible for Geralt to wait at least a day before responding to her siren song. She gets to have him forever, why does Jaskier can't have him only for a fucking day? And now he's being pitiful, and he hates himself a little bit for that.

Maybe he's overreacting, maybe it's not that important… but it is! he wanted Geralt to be there, to share the award with him. But at the end it's not Geralt's fault, he'll not resent the witcher for having priorities, a family to take care which includes Yennefer and the others but not him. Maybe it's time for Jaskier to find his own. He has already spent enough effort in becoming part of Geralt. Jaskier goes to search on his bag for his notebook, he needs to rework on his acceptance speech.

"I'll gather we'll be parting ways at the crossroads tomorrow?" Jaskier turns around briefly, wanting to see the witcher’s expression, to be suddenly confronted with an uncomfortable and unexpected feeling at reading on Geralt's face a lot more than surely the witcher wants to convey. Shame, uncertainty, fear of not knowing what went wrong and how to prevent it from getting worse. And Jaskier feels sympathy, despite everything that has happened, what is happening, Geralt tries, on his own, albeit slow way.

"Yeah"

"Good"

Geralt starts fidgeting on the same spot from before, when Jaskier decides he had enough and turns. The witcher hasn't moved an inch, he's waiting for the other shoe to drop, the bard can tell. But it won’t come to that. Not anymore. Enough of this, enough of scraps.

"I'm going out, don't wait for me awake" murmurs Jaskier when he's at the door. Geralt calls for him, but Jaskier pretends not to hear.

_________________

In the morning Geralt arrives at the stables to find Jaskier already waiting for him by Roach. They travel side by side all morning, Jaskier holding his notebook in front of his face, he seems to be reading and rereading the speech, which is weird because he said he's already memorized it. They haven't spoken much, and Geralt hates it. He should be saying something, anything! Something along the lines of "I'll go with you" but what if Yen...?

Jaskier stops and turns around to face him from below, one hand scratching Roach's neck. They are at the crossroads; it's almost noon and Geralt doesn't know what to say. Their gazes lock for a long time, the wind singing softly around them, the leaves of the trees falling like orange rain. It's so calm. "Take care, Geralt" says Jaskier in the softest of voices and turns right. Geralt watches him marching away, wondering why it feels like a goodbye.
