call me gay which i am but i think it’s valid that bruxae live and fight just naked, tits out.

before you call me horny on sideblog, think about how threating a regular vampire from the witcher universe can be. okay. now think of that same level of threat, but if you were fighting someone who had no clothes on. at the very least, unsettling or distracting, right

and i don’t mean distracting because “oooh, titties,” but because european human society (especially in the 13th century) places so much emphasis on being clothed as part of being an upstandable person... the idea of a woman screeching like an animal and ripping someone to shreds, while naked, is so incredibly terrifying

it also shows just how little vampires are like humans in the witcher universe... bats don’t wear clothes... vampires don’t care about clothes... they’re completely feral, and the uncanniness like “looks like a human, can maybe talk a little bit like a human but not too much” is very unsettling. again, the idea of a sickly pale, unknown woman nursing a bat the size of a dog in her arms is pretty weird and scary to humans

everyone always portrays bruxae as sexy nakey women which like okay they are but no one ever acknowledges their SICK BAT FORMS
