My art and story

[jaskierswolf]

Witcher Fandom (if you're still out there), I have a proposal.

If you're a writer, reblog this with one fic you're really proud of that may have been lost to AO3 time. If you're a reader, reblog this with a fic that haunts you, that you think of constantly. If you're an artist, reblog with a link to your favourite art.

Or all of the above?

Let's spread some love!

__

A fic of mine that I love is Wild Blue Yonder - Modern AU where Geralt runs a bookshop and Jaskier is a flirty mess

A fic that haunts me is Sweat and Sex and Sin: The Passiflora in Bloom - Which is a beautifully written smutty/pining/idiots to lovers AU in which Geralt meets a whore that looks an awful lot like his bard.

Art that I love is probably anything by @spielzeugkaiser but particularly their Shifter!Jaskier series, it's a trope I love and their style is just so beautiful.

[queenrenfri]

Great idea!

A fic of mine that I'm really proud of is my sort of space opera inspired by the AWAU, would you find me in the stars?

One that haunts me is definitely Full Circle by CreativWit. This Eskel is just *chef's kiss* and I've reread the fic so many times.

Actually I've got two, another one I think about all the time is Bring Me Home Even Though You Don't Want Me by Karlethandra_Merthensa. I'm a sucker for a good reunion!

[major-trouble]

Excellent idea!! Also a good way to add fics to my list, thank you.

I'm really proud of The Subtle Knife, an Eskel centric, detective noir fic with amazing artwork done by the extremely talented Cylin.

One that haunts me is Singing Silver by FledglingQueen. Just an absolute gorgeous read with an unusual fae!Jaskier (and you know I'm a sucker for the fae).

[enthusiasticconsentacles]

a fic that was such a clever execution of a very tricky idea (and I especially loved this Eskel) is The End is Where We Start by Dira Sudis: https://archiveofourown.org/works/35103520

I think my favorite of my own fics is This Light-Struck Country (archive-locked): https://archiveofourown.org/works/35103520

what fun!

[d-andilion]

this is such a sweet idea <3

if i'm going to rec a fic it has to be better than we'll ever be on our own by @whispered-story. it's about geralt and jaskier going camping, i've read it more times than i can even count. i always always read it when i go camping and it feels as essential as setting up my own tent at this point

as for my own fic, i think i'd want to highlight this one, the viscountess de lettenhove. it has such an odd premise, i couldn't tell you what possessed me to write it, but i'm very proud of it and i remember feeling like it was a big stepping stone in my writing ability

[duointherain]

So I had to look back.. so many things I need to write and do. I fear I've moved into The Sentinel.

This is called Time Magic. It's pretty old, but also pretty popular. After a long time of not seeing each other, Geralt learns that Jaskier might have withheld some information. https://archiveofourown.org/works/61493326

Clip from Son of the Moon

(A government official tries to bully Killian into not offering gender confirming care to minors at the hospital.) "You, sir, are insulting," Wilbur said definitely. 

"I haven't even gotten started so you should probably leave if you already feel offended," Killian said. "Know that we will not harm children, even if your king so wishes it."

"Do you have a French accent?"

"I do. I spent a great deal of time in Paris."

"Are you in the country legally?"

"For all intents and purposes, yes. I knew George III, you know? I like him better than the one you're trying to present now. George had an innocent elegance to him."

If you are an ally (or even a trans person), I really need you to stop showing pictures of masculine trans men with "so you want HIM in the women's bathroom?" as a "gotcha". Because yes, yes they do. Can I tell you why?

Before I do, I need to make one thing clear: I am not a "discourse queer". I don't get involved in the labels shit, the oppression Olympics, or any of that BS. I don't see the point in inter-community bickering. So save the "well actually" shit and listen to a queer man just this once. We all have our battles to fight but at the end of the day I'm going to be in exactly the same fucking camp as you, if I haven't already stepped in front of a bullet for you instead.

They want trans men in that bathroom to make them stand out. They want transness to be obvious. If they could make trans people wear a pink triangle, they would. The easiest way to drive trans people to suicide or back into the closet is to make it impossible to live a quiet, private life as a trans person. To expose them to as much pain, ridicule and suffering as possible. If they make transition a gauntlet of agony where you will never fit, never have peace, very few people would survive it.

Trans men are viewed as lost incubators. Their sacred bodies belong to the state and the nation as mothers and wives. Their masculinity is viewed as stolen valour. Transition is a radical act of defiance against that ownership, as it is for trans women in the opposite direction. Forcing both trans men and trans women "back" into their "spaces" where they can be suitably punished for the audacity of putting themselves over society's choices for their bodies is exactly what transphobes want.

It was never about safety. It was never about the dignity of the masses. Only the thickest terfs swallowed that cover. It was always about lumping as much indignity and cruelty onto trans people as possible so no one ever transitioned.

So please, for the love of fuck, stop posting Leo's picture up with "HIM IN YOUR SPACE?" Because yes. They would love the opportunity to humiliate and belittle Leo. Putting him in women's spaces would do exactly that.

[unfairlyfallen]

Hello, Associates,

This is a serious one.

If you cannot comfortably donate, do not feel guilty, you are valued regardless, and should not worry. However, if any of you are in the position to help, please consider contributing to this fundraiser to remove my best friend/girlfriend, the most important person in my life, Emily ( @azirawaffle ), from her abusive household.

Her 'guardians' are doing everything in their power to prevent her from leaving, and if they are allowed any choice in the matter, she will never escape. They are making independence impossible by withholding money that is hers and sabotaging her every attempt to start her own life. Every day she is dealing with severe bullying and hate-fueled harassment in her own home. One of these individuals is a truly dangerous and unstable man, and I worry for her safety as his mental health continues to decline.

I would solve this issue myself regardless of the cost, but the reality is that I am disabled and jobless, and there is an Ocean between her and I. I feel helpless and terrified for the person I love more than anything. I will be doing everything in my power to get her out, but my help alone will not be enough.

Again, only contribute if you can do so comfortably, but in the case that you do, I am so incredibly grateful.

This is the link, please read her description of the situation, not just my summary:

I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-Nazi ones, which is great, but I felt like we needed one to show our support for the Jewish community.  

[bipolar-bubbeleh]

all you goyim I follow - I see you reblogging this and it warms me.

[ameerawritesstuff]

do not reblog this unless you mean it. I have dealt with so much anti-semitism in my life and the number of times I get it from “open-minded liberals” is disturbing. Remember this summer when the Dyke Marches banned people for having a rainbow flag with a Star of David on it? I was accused of playing my “Jew card” too much when I tried to get my shitty goy roommate to stop making Auschwitz jokes. 

Being anti-nazi does not equal support for the Jewish community. Do not claim you support Jews just because you recognize that Nazis are terrible. Surprise, we actually have more to us than the Holocaust!

If you DO support the Jewish community, reblog the crap out of this so people can feel safe!

[writingmyheartoutforyou]

The thing that gets me is how little things have changed over the years. The OP was deactivated in 2019, and the replies on this post go back to 2017. The post had nothing to do with Israel or Zionism, but to the users, that doesn’t matter. It mentions the Jewish community, and that’s all they need to go off.

I’d be more likely to believe that “anti-zionism isn’t antisemitic” if anti-zionist didn’t insert themselves into posts that aren’t about Zionism in the first place.

“I support Jews, except for these ones! These ones can go die!” Is not the show of solidarity you think it is, and it’s frustrating that I keep seeing it.

You can’t just add conditions to your support. You either support a community (yes, even the people in that community you personally don’t like) or you don’t. There’s no third option where you support 10% of a group and tell the other 90% to fuck off.

[spacelazarwolf]

yeah this is what the notes look like. which is why when gentiles insist “zionism is not judaism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” i do not believe they believe that. they do equate judaism with zionism, bc they can’t see a post abt supporting the jewish community without bringing up israel or palestine. they’re not saying “zionism is not judaism” because they actually believe that, they’re saying it because they want to create a Perfect Jew, one that says and does all the right things and has the right kind of trauma and the right kind of opinions, one they could NEVER be bigoted toward. the problem is that none of us can ever be the perfect jew. “zionism is not judaism” to them means “my perfect ideal image of a jew could NEVER do the things these awful horrible jews are doing right now (like being upset with rising antisemitism or having family in israel that they care about or reacting from a place of trauma) therefore they are not a REAL jew so i am not being antisemitic!!!!!!!”

anyway i still stand by this statement:

Jesse Jackson’s daughter reveals she has converted to Judaism

Ashley Jackson says her late civil rights leader father embraced her Jewish journey, revealing the deeply personal story in a Washington Pos

by Annabel Sinclair

Writing in an opinion piece for The Washington Post, Ashley L. Jackson said she completed her conversion on 12 June after what she described as a years-long spiritual journey shaped by study, illness and a growing connection to Jewish life.

Jackson, a writer, producer and founder of the nonprofit Push The Next Generation, said her father attended a Shabbat service at her synagogue two years before he died, where he joined in the celebration despite coming from a Baptist Christian background.

She wrote: “As the Saturday morning service proceeded, my father sat in the front row – holding my hand, dancing to prayers in a language he did not speak, eating the Sunkist candies the congregation had tossed to celebrate a bar mitzvah.”

Reflecting on her decision to become Jewish, Jackson said she had found a faith that matched the values she had been raised with.

“I was raised to believe that faith must lead to action,” she wrote. “In Judaism, I found an enduring expression of this belief.”

She said she had long been struck by Judaism’s emphasis on learning, ritual and the concept of Tikkun olam – repairing the world – adding that the sound of the shofar during her first Rosh Hashanah moved her deeply.

Jackson also reflected on becoming both Black and Jewish, saying the identity carried both challenges and hope.
