#tw3 headcanons

Gaunter O'Dimm is likely a very ancient deity in the witcher world who no longer has a cult but exists because the fear of something is a belief in something and I have been thinking about this extensively it fucks me UP. He's a god in the way the devil from the bible is a god and that makes me feral.

It would take a lot to convince me that Az doesn't move through the shadows like higher vampires do in Blood and Wine.
And I absolutely do not want to be convinced otherwise.

Hey! You asked me, and I love these sort of games, so I'm paying it forward.
If you want to do the character aske, I'd ask for your take on Geralt of Rivia 🥰
ah Geralt, my beloved most neutral witcher and bestest monster killer in all the land (/s ^^)
Sexuality Headcanon: once upon a time, a young Geralt fancied himself strictly as a woman’s man, and that his same sex dalliances w other witchers were simply bc of lonely nights in Kaer Morhen. Until he left KM and found himself not averse to bedding women and men alike. Life is full of surprises and sometimes they are children, sometimes the discovery that cock is prettty good. And since life as a witcher is Toil and Labour, he wasn’t about to over-complicate smth he personally had no objections with just because some rando noble might be uncomfortable. Quite the useful attitude for a witcher living on the outskirts of civilisation, so that worked out for him.
This is just my hc for a TW3 timeline with overt homophobia, based on the encounter with Mislav. Because CDPR have proven themselves cowards by not showing a single dick in the entirety of the games and therefore cannot be 100% trusted with canon, I like to also imagine another where homophobia is less prominent (and non-existent in most regions) where geralt is…exactly the same. no fucks given except for in bed ;)
Gender Headcanon: a cis man, and pragmatic and doesn’t give a hoot if prudes shake their heads at his gender non-conforming habits. if a warm, comfy article of clothing in his possession happens to be a dress, it’s being worn, and how majestic. he knows how to braid hair, bc it doesn’t hurt to know how. Bonus: kid!Ciri adored him for it. Besides, gender-coding things sounds like an Other People kinda problem, and he is but a simple witcher with potions to brew and blades to oil, so…
A ship I have with said character: Geralt/Emhyr is my current obsession💖 Geralt/Regis and Geralt/Dettlaff are two close faves. All simultaneously within the same timeline bc my blorbos love to share
A BROTP I have with said character: a begrudging understanding between Geralt and Mererid, whose dislike of Geralt rose exponentially when he heard of Emhyr taking on Geralt as a lover. But Geralt worked some magic (read: really good sex and perhaps some axii for the nerves) to make emhyr’s mood do a 180 or maybe just a 90, he’s still a grump sometimes
and mererid was like, ‘you. you can stay.’
A NOTP I have with said character: none particularly? m8 if I encounter a ‘squick’ ship (think themes of incest for example) that’s also well-crafted, count me in for eating the dead dove
Random headcanons:
The only time he seriously reassessed his sex life was: 1) after falling for Regis, and even then it was more bc of the mental image of Papa Vesemir scolding him that he was meant to fight, not fuck this creature, and 2) falling for Emhyr, but then he seriously contemplated many other things too…
No way is he not a good cook what with those witcher-level potion brewing skills and olfactory senses
he has really nice hands! when they’re not encrusted with monster gore, anyway. and he takes good care of them too
General Opinion over said character: one of my fave things abt his character is that even though he’s pushing 100, he’s still a big awkward turtle. and also that his hero complex pulls him in directions he wouldn’t intentionally go makes him even more fun (see: every single bit of politics shenanigans his allegedly neutral arse gets swept into). I love him. my babygirl.
that was fun, thanks for the ask!!

The original "strong foreboding witcher in a red bobble touque" popped up in my notes, reminding me once again about @on-a-lucky-tide 's excellent Grey Army post and my brain demanded doodles. 💜🐺
So have a really quick doodle with more knitted things for the best witcher 💜

while we’re talking about lesbians, i claim intellectual property of milva being a lesbian, this is the home of lesbian milva (as if she were a specialty lemonade or something), all others are pretenders and imitations

A friend was telling me about herding a pack of beagles into the car to go to the vets and how impossible it is! Anyway I was thinking how they get themselves into trouble with that damn nose of theirs.
SO
Imagine baby witchers straight out of the trials, their senses are heightened and everything is so much and all at once, especially their sense of smell is just overwhelmning.
The trainers loath having to herd them into the training grounds because they are scattered in all directions following their nose to a pretty flower or a scrap of bread in the garbage, or the scent of kittens they want to pester. Just a courtyard full of boys not paying any attentions to their teachers with that enhanced hearing because THE SMELLS are just so good and so distracting.
Baby Witchers are basically beagles

I spend more time playing gwent in the witcher than I do playing the actual game but also I never quite vibed with the standalone gwent game so every time I wanna play gwent I have to boot up the witcher 3 and find someone to play a game with, and half the time I have to ride across half the damn map to do it lmfao

wait explain the haunted house post tags
are you talking about kaer morhen
sorry the curiosity is eating at me lmao
(this post for context)
Yes I was talking about Kaer Morhen! What follows is mostly speculation and personal headcanon:
So post tw3, I do see the tragic appeal of Vesemir (or any number of dead witchers) haunting Kaer Morhen, but I prefer not to think of Vesemir as a ghost, or at least a pained, sinister one. He was laid to rest with love, and he died fulfilling his devotion to his family. And maybe the other witcher spirits that remained were given a more full sense of closure after his funeral too.
So that leaves Eskel as the caretaker of Kaer Morhen. Geralt has his family, Lambert knows better. It’s just Eskel. He’s the last ‘true’ wolf witcher in the keep, not even a troubled spirit to keep him company, to rattle the doors and open the cubbards, not even the distorted voice of dead Vesemir to tell him what to do with himself, no one to guide him, no one to fill the silence.
Eskel himself is the ghost then. He’s the cold, silent, shape of a witcher that walks the halls of Kaer Morhen night and day. If you were to hike up to the castle, you might see his form in a window, you might hear his footsteps on the stair, see a flash of igni on a dark night. The age of Witchers is dead, the school of the wolf with it, all that’s left is Eskel, dragging around its corpse, muttering the names of dead men.

Radovid Joins the Hansa
At the Radskier discord we are Goncharov-ing what Radovid-joins-the-hansa (aka: Hansovid) AU would be like and here's some of the ideas shared so far:
the exact details on HOW this happens are not set in stone (Did Radovid escape before Vizimir got offed, leaving Pip and Siggi without a convenient spare? After? More importantly, does he have the annuity??), but some headcanons are:
Art major nerd perk, Radovid knows a lot about slightly more practical things, like art, history and architecture and sometimes weird law facts that he personally found interesting
barding- under Jaskier's tutelage, Radovid's playing has improved dramatically, which is great because unlike jaskier who is kind of recognizable, Radovid can more easily go into towns as a perfectly average, unremarkable bard, making getting items/information while keeping anonymity (they usually pair him up w Regis for safety reasons)
Very good at looking dumb and pretty and quite pathetic which makes people underestimate him more
Courtly training so he's polite and educated… and good at remembering faces and names.
THE ONE NORMAL PERSON IN THIS GROUP. Radovid often ends up being the most sensible/practical person in a situation simply by process of elimination. Radovid will read a potion saying 'drink me' and...not do it. He'll see spoopy shit and walk the fuck out. He's the guy who asks who's on the other side before opening to sus knocking.
he's very bad at athletic stuff and takes awhile to build stamina, but at least this time everyone's got horses and boots so it balances out
Radovid is not good at self defense BUT does have some concept of swordsmanship/archery… from like like 20 years ago. He is, however, decided not to be a burden and not to get left behind. He's especially invested in protecting Jaskier- who Radovid is horrified to find- is even more useless than he himself is (bitch you live like this??).; Because Radovid has common sense and self preservation instincts, things jaskier is mostly lacking).
he eventually starts getting lessons from Cahir and Milva when time permits, and healing stuff from Regis. He's got excellent memory and attention to detail, but remains average at swordsmanship/archery.
he is, however, fairly good with a crossbow (no the wrist ones from TW3, the bigger ones ).
he also gets a cute ponytail/braid and smiles more! (original art by naumaxia-art)
Tumblr media
Still too weaksauce for the path?
Tumblr media
we've named him 'Faro', after a type of Cintran beer
Tumblr media
He's a Polish Tatra Sheepdog and was acquired by the group when Geralt was handling a monster infestation. Unfortunately neither the puppo's owners, nor his sheep were spared, but puppo not only survived, but saved Jask and Radovid and became extremely protective of them.
Tumblr media
I imagine the acquisition goes something like:
Geralt: absolutely not. Radovid: I'm calling for a vote! Milva: You. You're calling for a vote? Radovid: why not? is this not a democracy? Radovid: I'm of course voting to keep him. Jaskier: I second the vote to keep the very handsome boy! Angoulême: come on Geralt, we'd never have found where the Barghest were coming from without him, AND he saved your bard from walking straight into it. Jaskier: yes Geralt, he saved your bard! Geralt: fine, then I vote no. Milva: I'm not taking care of any more mutts than I have to Radovid: he's clearly purebred! Cahir: still no. Geralt: see? We are done here Angoulême: *the little shit* nunca hasn't voted yet. Geralt: *sigh* Regis, can you please tell them so we can leave? Regis: Geralt: Regis. Geralt: Regis, no Regis: *trying not to smile like he's entirely charmed* … well, he is a very handsome boy.
In the end Regis suggest they at least try to get him to civilization so he can be adopted by a good family, but in the week it takes to get to it, Faro proves himself the MVP, not only will it defend the weakest party members, but it's a vert smart dog who will deter wolves/and will bodily shepherd jaskier away from dangerous areas/items as needed.
the one and only drawback is that Jaskier and Radovid can no longer have obnoxiously loud sex since Faro gets stressed thinking they're getting hurt and will try to intervene, effectively cockblocking them.
Finally Geralt gets some (relative) #blessedsilence
Geralt: *hugging the dog* I'm so sorry i ever doubted you
feel free to add to this!
#it's free real estate prompt just tag me so i can read

Short Story: Winner takes All (Finale)
*sound of something crashing inside*
Morvran and Ciri enters the room...
Tumblr media
Ciri: I knew it! You couldn't resist this game of GWENT even with its ridiculous conditions!
Morvran: Knowing Master Geralt, princess, I'd be shocked if he did not, at least, made an attempt.
Tumblr media
Morvran: And by the looks of that pile, Master Geralt played down to his smallclothes.
Ciri: Put up with wearing a doublet for now, Geralt. Beats killing monsters with your tool flapping about.
Tumblr media
Geralt: Done laughing at my expense, you two? I'm not about to prance around in those chaffing tunics. I'm off to fetch my swords.
Tumblr media
Geralt: One of these days, I'm going to wipe that smirk off his face-
Tumblr media
Emhyr: A rematch? Then I shall look forward to adding another of your witcher's armor in my gallery. One down, four to go.
Geralt: Kiss my ass, Emhyr!
Tumblr media
Emhyr: (chuckles) Interesting, I'll add that condition the next time you challenge me.
-The End
These series of events were inspired by the next gen update of TW3, which my headcanon includes a new GWENT player that I always wanted to challenge: the emperor himself.
And I also believe he is the hardest GWENT opponent to beat!
Many thanks to @i-be-busy-witchering for indulging my requests and delivering splendid shots to fit my narrative! Photoshop edits and story by me.
