Anon asked me the following: Hey probably something weird which is why I ask anonymously but how do you think Geralt would act with an s/o he loves that doesn’t feel or get anythhing from sex or anything sexual/can’t orgasm who feels inadequate for him? It’s sad boi hours for valentines because it seems nobody wants a girl like that heh
*SLAMS THE BRAKES ON ALL PROMPTS I WAS WORKING ON TO IMMEDIATELY ANSWER THIS REQUEST BECAUSE YOU DESERVE LOVE AND VALIDATION ON HEARTS DAY YOU GORGEOUS ACE/ARO ANON BBY* (however u identify i support u and i hope u know that u deserve to feel loved exactly as you are because you are precisely who you are meant to be)
Okay so honestly? I feel like the most important thing with Geralt is emotional validation
Don’t get me wrong, he loves a good orgasm, but!! He rarely has anyone who cares for him genuinely, and even more rarely does he feel the same in return
He’ll appreciate that he can be open and vulnerable around you, it’s nice to have a chance to drop his guard
He’s not very good with his words, so sometimes his gruff demeanor and monosyllabism can make it seem like he’s frustrated or dissatisfied but this!! Is!! Not!! The!! Case!!
He’ll love holding you in his arms, just gentle cuddling with no expectations because that simple intimacy is so rewarding and nice, and he rarely gets a chance to indulge it
He’ll also enjoy just sitting quietly in the room with you, maybe while you read and he works on his potions or fills out entries in his bestiary, just sharing your company
He will never look down on you or want you to force yourself into anything you don’t want. You’ve already given him your heart, and that’s a treasure he feels he doesn’t deserve. He would never take or demand anything from you that you didn’t want to give
He might try to show affection with physical gestures (holding your hand, hugging, kissing your forehead or your hand, cuddling, etc.) but only if you’re comfy with it, he’ll always make sure that he’s not pushing your boundaries
Geralt is very old. Like. Love him. But oooold old man, so he’s been around long enough to know that sex is not the be-all and end-all of romantic relationships
Geralt is also old enough that he’s wasted enough time, he’s not going to waste more pursuing something that he feels isn’t worthwhile. He’ll bluntly tell you as much, and then assure you that he wants you. Not some ideal version that you think you should be, but who you are is who he fell in love with and that is who he wants
You are worth so much more to him than just your body, he loves how kind you are with him, how you accept him, and the least he can do is accept you in return
He loves your smile, loves hearing you laugh and hearing your heartbeat when you’re just quietly resting together, it’s soothing and peaceful and it’s one of the rare times he feels like he can truly relax and be at rest
When he learns that you have doubts, he’ll ask if he’s done anything to make you feel that way. If so he’ll try to correct his behavior (let’s be real he’s not perfect, but he’s going to try his damnedest and put in his best effort) and if not, if it’s just an anxiety thing, then he’ll reassure you as much as you need because when called for he can be incredibly patient
I have lunch with actor John O'Hurley, who begs me to go on a top secret mission that'll require me to jump out of a helicopter into shark infested waters. Needless to say, I refuse and demand to hear the song "Walt's Wish" by The Asexuals. Then, I have an unexpected reunion with an old friend.
