Met up with an old friend for brunch that I used to work with at the sex shop. We had a great time, she reminded me of a couple funny stories I’ll write eventually, then talked about playing Baldur’s Gate.

She was like, “I realized that your real life class is a bard. You tell these amazing stories and have such high charisma! You’re a bard who took animal handling.”

I couldn’t stop laughing but I was also wildly flattered.

#ramblies #guess that’s why I play a lot of bards

[fridgewitch]

I feel like Chris Pine has waited his entire career to play a bard. I'm so happy that he's finally achieved the life he deserves.

finally doing a dark urge playthrough which is actually just going to be horny as fuck

#ramble #bg3 #i am alarmed at how hot my guy is #my tav is a bard because theatre kids are inherently evil #also the clothes are from basket of equipment

[possumkingluca]

if i see one more post about Edgin not being a bard because he doesn't cast any spells i will actually lose my shit

that's not Edgin's purpose in the movie??? it's Simon's????? Edgin has a different job??????????? who would've guessed shit has to be altered when formatting something into a movie??????????????? (case in point: in the wildshape chase scene with Doric, if they had stuck to the wildshape rules it would've been way less interesting in a movie format.)

also wasn't even a thought that crossed my mind watching that he could possibly not be a bard?? immediately after watching the first trailer I recognized that he was one without seeing any other promotion?? are you guys ok??????

(also dying on the hill that Edgin 100% used bardic inspiration MULTIPLE times.)

#also it's literally stated everywhere in promotion that he's a bard #please. #holy shit #there is also literally a rogue in the movie already #and if you say forge is a bard i will kill a man #(i saw someone say that and I felt my sanity deteriorate) #(that's a mastermind rogue bestie) #dndmovie #dnd movie #dnd honor among thieves #honor among thieves #dndhat #dnd hat #edgin darvis #edgin the bard #i think #possum rambles #is apt for this #queue gaming

*Leans into mic* If Wyll never made a deal with Mizora and/or after he breaks his pact with her, I think he would make an excellent Bard and here’s why.

Wyll’s highest stat is Charisma, which Bards use to cast

Bards are full casters which means Wyll still gets to keep his spells AND get plenty of them!

Among the list of weapons a Bard is proficient with, a Rapier is among them

Bards are best known for their Bardic Inspiration and Wyll is the perfect companion to give this to because he’s already very encouraging and giving him a magical means of aiding people with said encouragement would be perfect

Wyll would get healing spells which means Shadowheart wouldn’t be the only Origin Companion with them on the team

Bards are a very supportive class and I just think Wyll would enjoy that, especially if this is after being a Fiend Warlock, a very self serving class. The change of pace would be something to get used to but probably welcomed

The Bard Subclasses Colleges of Valor and Swords would be extremely fitting for Wyll considering both deal with Bards being able to be more physical fighters so he could help out on the frontlines OR stay back and provide help from afar, making them very well rounded. (Personally I think he would make a great Valor Bard but Swords Bard is also great for him)

Wyll would get Vicious Mockery. He would be hilarious with it.

Bards don’t need to play instruments to be a Bard, they can both use their way with words to cast spells OR use other forms of art if they so wish. Not only is Wyll charismatic but he loves to dance. He could cast spells while he dances. It would look amazing

I just think Wyll would make for a good Bard. Look at him. He would enjoy the class immensely

Thank you for your time. All of this came to me after I was trying to figure out an AU in which Wyll never met/made a deal with Mizora and was trying to figure out his class. I know you could argue Paladin but they rely a lot on strength, which Wyll is not known for, and Bards are way better for Charisma and Dex! Plus Paladins are half casters and I think Wyll deserves MORE spells actually.

#SB Speaks #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #wyll ravengard #this is my Bard Wyll Agenda #I think post-game he should become a Bard #Grand Duke Wyll having access to vicious mockery and trying so hard not to abuse it when another Duke is being a dick #He’s thinking about it. He won’t but he’s sure thinking about it. #I just think being a Bard in general would bring him joy #No pacts or oaths just a bunch of silly little spells and joy in his heart #As a Valor or Swords Bard he could literally say ‘I studied the blade’ as a pun and he would LOVE IT #Anyways you get the idea #SB Rambles

alright back on my fae!jaskier bullshit

there are myths of fairies assuming the guise of animals

imagining jaskier in animal form acting as a companion for the witchers and helping them out in times of need

like lambert is getting stiffed by an alderman so jaskier turns into a magpie and starts pecking the shit out of the alderman and shitting in his hair until he drops his coin purse for lambert to take

geralt gets injured on a really difficult hunt and jaskier turns into a horse and hauls him bodily back to camp

eskel needs help getting information for a quest so jaskier turns into a mouse and sneaks into rooms and listens to conversations to help him spy and reports back what he's learned

but ALSO imagining him using his powers for evil

jaskier couldn't sleep all night and is up before eskel for once. he turns into a rooster and wakes him right the fuck up because he's bored

jaskier turning into a horse to talk shit about geralt with roach. they keep neighing and whinnying together and geralt gets progressively more and more annoyed. he will not tell geralt what was said

he and lambert need to cross a fast-moving river and the bridge is broken. jaskier, the little shit, turns into a fish and swims easily across. lambert has to figure out how to cross on his own

i could honestly keep going this is so fucking funny to me

So I saw a post floating about questioning the intentions behind Jaskier’s sexuality in S3, and I want to kindly remind everyone that respectful queer representation in media is still sorely lacking and so damn important (perhaps now more than ever) no matter its intentions, and Joey and Hugh handled it beautifully.

#no hate whatsoever but like I said #it may have been for profit but ultimately it was well-handled and respectful #which makes it more than a cash grab cause they could have been just like WOOP THE BARD IS GAY #but they didn’t they made jaskier and radovid’s relationship organic and believable #they didn’t make a mockery and I thought it was so beautifully done #don’t complain about queer representation in media we don’t have enough of it #jaskier #radovid #jaskier/radovid #the witcher #the witcher netflix #the witcher season 3 #personal #ramblings

Aside from finding out Zachary Gordon didn't fully sing in DOAWK (love he turned out to be a singer tho lol), I'm not that person to typically have a "childhood ruined" moment even after finding the original stories the Disney Princesses was based off. HOWEVER, Tinkerbell's villain au song is just scarring every part of me rn. I can't look at the fairies the same way from now on because Tink's attempts against Wendy in the original somehow makes sense with this reason. Like oh my... most of the fairies are dead?

Also, I know it's only in this AU where Tink was successful in killing Wendy (kinda breaks my heart since they're going home anyway, but Tink still wanted to punish her), but it doesn't help that Pan in this genuinely cares about her. The way he cries in the end while he watch his friend murder a girl he cares about is just so crushing. Everyone is so miserable in this, and you bet Pan would never look at Tink the same way. Imagine if he either becomes a villain or just straight up leave Neverland to stay away from the fairies and eventually grow up to forget them. That's bad karma for Tink. By trying so hard to protect herself and the few she still has (Terence wasn't even in this, oh gosh), she ultimately drove Pan and the lost boys away.

Prompt 4

Geralt is the captain of a pirate ship, named "Kaer Morhen." Perhaps he's still a witcher, perhaps he's just a regular old human (with white hair and golden eyes? Lol) His brothers (and "cousins" from other witcher schools) Now I can see this going two different ways, so choose a favorite (or make up your own, I am only the beginning, I hold no affront of being anything more) Jaskier is a nobleman's son, aboard his family's ship, possibly on his way to be forced into a marriage to a woman he doesn't love. And either he falls overboard or he's shoved off as a murder attempt, but he's lost in the ocean. Lambert (or someone else, but I love to imagine how Lambert would attempt to call this out to his captain who he doesn't take seriously 90% of the time, #brothers) calls that he spots a man bobbing in the sea, and they haul him up. The majority of the crew sees sight of his jewels and finery and insists on holding him ransom. But when the prisoner wakes up and isn't afraid of death, Geralt looks into this a little more. Apparently their prisoner won't get a ransom because his entire family despise him and his want to run away and become a bard. Funny. Most pirate ships have entertainers aboard to help the pirates deal with months of nothing but ocean. Perhaps they'll have use of this dumb twink after all. OR, option number two Jaskier is a nobleman's son, chained and starved for the crime of wanting to become a bard and not wanting to marry some prissy noblewoman. He hears a lot of loud noises and screams and then a bunch of burly men in fur cloaks stomp down and start rifling through their supplies. One catches eye of him and immediately yells to the captain. The captain is a very handsome man with silver locks and bright eyes, and the dreaded pirate captain is treating Jaskier with more kindness and gentleness than his family or their workers ever have. The pirate hauls Jaskier up into his arms and carries him to their own ship, laying him down in his own bed, and looking over his injuries and sending one of his crewmembers to make hm a fine meal. Jaskier begins telling the captain of his abusive life beforehand and mentions that all he's ever wanted is to spread music and love, and shockingly enough, this big scary (gorgeous) man doesn't even laugh at him for it.. Oh fuck he's falling in love-

♡!Optional addons!♡ • Geralt gayly teaching his bard how to swordfight!!!

• Perhaps Jaskier's family is crueler and has done more than beat him, perhaps they've stabbed him or something, and the very last thing he sees before he passes out from bloodloss is Geralt (Maybe he even thinks he's an angel! Lmfao)

• Geralt getting lovingly bullied by his brothers for taking care of his songbird so well

• Geralt's crew revenge-robbing or revenge-killing Jaskier's family if we do Option one for the story (attempted-murder route), since it's implied it happens in Option Two while they ransack the ship-

• Perhaps I'll do a sequel for this prompt one day for Mermaid Jaskier, I do LOVE mermaids, take this as a much smaller and much less detailed prompt for if you want that idea, too! Perhaps the Pankratz ship has a captured mer aboard, parched and dehydrated (I just mostly think it'd be funny if Geralt was checking his pulse and if he has any injuries while random other witches dump buckets of sea water on him-)

Idk if i mentioned this before. It's funny, I might need to replay Jinx's playthrough one day, but I'm thinking about how everyone in act 3 has their little spiel when Orin is revealed to be a shapechanger. Thing is, it has a whole different tone if you hc your Tav/Durge to be a changeling as well.

The second Astarion mentions being infiltrated by a shapechanger and what-not, Jinx is just sort of like 🤨

Good job, Astarion. Now he has a changeling who is 100% gonna copy his form for the day, mocking him the whole time until he finally goes, "Oh, come on! Do I really sound like that?" all while the others are watching, going 👀
