[alqatil]

This is an independent roleplay (RP) sideblog for Tolbert, a character from Netflix’s The Witcher.

HOME  |  RULES  |  ABOUT

This blog was made after season 2 and before season 3. I have no idea yet what, if anything, the N.tfl.x show will do with Tolbert. This rendition of the character is thus almost entirely based in my own headcanons.

This blog is also a sideblog. That means any likes or post comments (not reblogs) will come from my mainblog, @bulwarkbolvirk . All asks from this blog will be sent on anon (or from my mainblog, if you have anon turned off) and ‘signed’ with this blog’s URL.

Also:

DON’T REBLOG MY IN-CHARACTER POSTS OR HEADCANONS IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF THEM.

What does this mean?

It means if you are a personal/non-RP blog, or an RP blog who is not taking part in a roleplay thread of mine, do not reblog that thread. You will know if it is a roleplay thread because I always tag such posts with   #rp .

It means if you are a personal/non-RP blog, or an RP blog who is not directly mentioned in a headcanon post of mine, do not reblog that post. You will know if it is a headcanon post because I always tag such posts with   #headcanons .

Posts that are okay for personal/non-RP blogs to reblog from me:

images, photosets, and/or gifsets

quote posts

most OOC posts/non-RP-related posts  (they are tagged with  #ooc )

If you ignore and defy these requests, I will ask you to remove the post(s) from your blog. If you refuse or ignore me, I will block you.

[eskelwolf]

[ 💋 ] - from @alqatil (Tolbert)

Eskel hummed softly as he lingered on Tolbert's lips for a little longer before they parted.

The fireplace was only glooming lightly, embers gleaming softly, but Eskel felt like that they either had to move upstairs or just be down here. The rest was asleep, or at least Eskel assumed so.

His hand under Tolbert's linen shirt trailed up and down wiry muscles but also the soft bumps of his back, every bone unique and for Eskel palpable.

He only brought enough space between them to press another short peck on Tolbert's lips.

"I thought we'd never do that," Eskel murmured.

Well, he wouldn't have done it if Geralt was around, but that bastard hadn't shown up in almost a decade now. Eskel didn't know what happened and he was too bitter to care.

This way, he got to find out about how much he loved Lambert, as well as Tolbert or even Gwain... All these chances had remained untaken for too long.

[alqatil]

Tolbert very nearly chased after Eskel's lips once the kiss broke. What stopped him was the other's gentle touch trailing over his scarred back, how sword and rein calluses grazed warped lines or dragged on smoother patches - all with only the intent to follow Tolbert's spine, and map the muscle beneath his skin. They never had cause to be demure about scars with each other, yet Tolbert's breath softly caught just the same.

One of his own palms cradled Eskel's cheek, while its opposite dipped teasingly past the collar of the other's shirt at the back of his neck, blunt nails skimming lighter skin with each curl of fingers. Tolbert smiled warm and wide enough for a flash of teeth, golden eyes lidded low as he rested his forehead against Eskel's.

"Always hoped for a chance," he agreed just as softly. "So now that we've got it, what else do you want to do?" Tolbert could think of several wonderful ideas, yet was similarly torn about whether to slip back upstairs to one of their rooms or to remain right where they were.

❛ behold! the perfect snowball. ❜

❛ let’s just stay in and watch the snow. ❜

❛ i’m cold, can we cuddle? ❜

❛ i’ll be home for christmas, i promise. ❜

❛ holy shit, your hands are freezing! ❜

❛ there. now your snow angel has a friend. ❜

❛ what should we name our snowman? ❜

❛ i guess it’s just my overused hoodie and i against the world. ❜

❛ i’ll be your date for that christmas party if you don’t have one yet. ❜

❛ being stuck inside with you all day is my worst nightmare. ❜

❛ sorry! i didn’t mean to throw that snowball so hard. ❜
