Video Game Idea.

A game that is marketed as your standard fishing game and for the first 20 minutes or so you catch normal fish like bluegill and bass and what have you. But the further you go into the lake you start to catch fish with mutations and it gets more and more intense until you’re pulling in Eldritch horror monsters and sometimes severed human limbs. You realize you don’t recall how you got to this lake in the first place and the objective becomes to find your way back to shore. You have no real weapons but you can throw the creatures you’ve caught far away from the boat as a means to distract whatever is underneath you, bumping into the boat sometimes. Additional items for the game.

A fishing pole with a radar that starts out with just beeps but later includes noises with hidden messages.

A GPS that displays texts and story elements.

You meet other boaters, all from various backgrounds, countries, and time periods. Some are friendly, others want to sacrifice you to the lake monsters.

You can also take the route of sacrificing others to the lake monster.

Or you can assemble a party and work to keep them safe.

The more fucked up looking the fish you catch, the closer you’re getting to a boss fight, which is usually running from something you can only see part of in the water.

And that’s my game idea.

I have this planner with these absolutely ridiculous pages with like “motivational” quotes on them that are just these bullshit things like “Let your heart sing” and “Always believe in your dreams”

and like that’s always struck me as such meaningless bullshit, I’ve always hated those. They’ve never had that element that truly motivates me.

So, I took matters into my own hands and I made my own artsy motivational wallpapers. Enjoy.

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

The Witcher - Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier

[What is this?]

come to light by leaveanote

( @ welcomemysentence )

“It feels,” Geralt says slowly, “like you’re still trying to prove your worth to me.”

Jaskier laughs nervously, even though something hollow twists in his gut.

“Can you blame me? Old habits, I suppose—”

“No,” Geralt cuts in, sitting up. “I can’t blame you. But I’d like to break those habits.”

Healing takes effort and tenderness.

technically the sequel to something healing, but can be read as a standalone.

to make you enough for yourself by asweetepilogue

Before their first night together, there are some things Jaskier needs to tell Geralt about his reputation as an experienced lover.

someone to hold and be held by by murron

When an enemy from his Sandpiper days catches up to him, Jaskier decides to protect his friends by leaving Kaer Morhen without saying goodbye. This does not go down well with Geralt. It also plunges Jaskier into a shitload of trouble.

Racing against time to find Jaskier and bring him home, Geralt finally figures out what Jaskier means to him. But will he be able to show Jaskier how important he is? Or did he miss his chance?

another angle on the same subject by haysel

Jaskier had opened the door, so he decided to step through. “I think it’s been proven that I do understand when it’s time to walk away.”

Geralt was quiet for a moment longer. “What are you saying? Are you saying that you’re leaving?”

Jaskier glanced over at him. “Yes. I just need to figure out where I’m going.”

oh, the waves. by a_static_world

( @astaticworld)

The shove comes to his chest hard, the force of a Witcher who does not know nor care the limitations of the human ribcage behind it. The words land harder. “Just one big, happy family, eh?” “No.”

Never Heard It Singing by didoandis

They’re walking home from school when Ciri stops him, her hand tugging at his sleeve. “Hey, wait, look!” she says, and Geralt turns to see a notice pinned to the streetlight: one of those hopeful ones, the words a little faded, the strips at the bottom curling upwards.

It reads: Lessons from a music postgrad, 15 crowns/hour, any age, any skill level, almost any instrument! Call Jaskier.

Ciri’s looking up at him, doing the wide pleading eyes that he is irritatingly susceptible to. “Can I?” she says. “Please, Geralt?”

A witcher hiding from the world meets a man hiding from himself. It works out well for both of them, eventually.

It Started With Fish Heads by Prudabaga

Geralt, a merman, courts Jaskier using traditional merfolk customs. Jaskier thinks he’s being punked.

true love’s kiss by leodesic

Jaskier attracts curses like flies to honey. Fortunately, Geralt is an expert in lifting curses.

If Geralt were allowed to have a favorite part of Jaskier, it would certainly be his hands.

…okay but…jaskier’s family…being the addams family of the witcher world

all of them dress in black. all of them say offputting things at events. everyone is like 99.99999% sure they’ve all killed at LEAST three people. they REGULARLY hold court events in their graveyard with VERY unsettling comments about, “oh it does save time later, just having everyone here from the start” 

and they love and support their bright-clothed songbird of a son, but jaskier is just the beloved blacksheep of the WEIRDEST godsdamned family on the continent

Idk I'm getting tired of emails that say "OMG THIS PRODUCT IS SO CHEAP!!!" Instead of "this product is so well made and it will last you several years to come!!"

ive realised there isnt a huge market for shakespeare shit posts

@unpretty

Jaskier: "ugh i need a trim. Geralt do you have any shaving cream?"

Geralt: "no I don't like the taste."

Jaskier: "wait. what? You eat it?"

Geralt: "No. Why would I eat it if I don't like the taste?"

It’s literally that simple

Friend: “hey my son can’t concentrate on his homework. He chooses to do literally anything else everytime. He said his head doesn’t feel like it.”

Me: “Did you give him music?”

Friend: “No! No tech until he’s done! He doesn’t need more distracted.”

Me:

“k, bring me the child”

*Go to her house*

*points to the obviously ADHD boy struggling with his homework*

Me: “so your head doesn’t feel like doing homework?”

Son: “yeah. It would rather do ANYTHING else.”

Me: *unwrapping earbuds* here, listen to this for an hour while you do it.

French voice: 1hr later

Son: “k I’m done! :-)”

Friend: “wow, what’d you give him? Concentra, Adderall, Ritalin‽”

Me: “Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics” and some lo-fi.

i love all the words we have that mean traveler. i love the shades of difference between wanderer and rambler and rover. i love the boldness of adventurer and the purposefulness of explorer, the lawlessness of vagabond and the capability of wayfarer, the quiet reverence of pilgrim and the wild rootlessness of nomad.

you’re hearing it more and more

Ok so we all love a hyperfixation but does anyone else ever avoid certain things because you feel like you don't have the time to be fixated on that, or that you aren't in the right headspace for this to become your latest obsession

Saw someone refer to Cartoon Saloon as the Irish Studio Ghibli and…

Yes. Yes it is. Seriously, watch their films if you have not had the pleasure already. Whether it’s the Irish Mythology trilogy

Or The Breadwinner, and upcoming ‘My Father’s Dragon’ with Netflix.

Watch these films. They are masterpieces of modern animation and innovation. I did my first film final on ‘The Breadwinner’ and have no regrets.
