This Will Probably Be My Most Controversial Design For Now, But I Think I Have Nice Explanation. So,

This will probably be my most controversial design for now, but i think i have nice explanation. So, i drew fan favorite ✨Regis✨

Regis is one of the best people in witcher universe, but he is still a vampire. Geralt always felt weird about him, and when he found out what he was, he was terrified. Fringilla was also catious around him, so i figured that his very presence is intimidating.

In my headcanon, Vampires are similiar to dopplers, they can turn into various animals but only one person. And their tranformation is much more painful and grotesque which we can see in this drawing. I relied on uncanny valley, i don't want vampires in my drawings to be just another pointy thooted undeads, i want them to be smthg else. His human look should look human, but with a very small unnatural feeling, so guess what i used for inspiration. Botched plastic surgeries! Like Simon Cowell, Donatella Versace, etc. I wanted to focus on creepy smile, since in the books in the scene where Dandelion hurts his head, Regis is described with a huge scary grin. When he transforms into huge bat like creature, he basically rips his human skin off revealing horrifying, gorey insides. I think it's very interesting for Regis to look uncanny, since it's a very nice contrast for his great personality. Plus, it creates very unique dynamic between him and readers, since you will never know if he'll end up being bad, which makes his sacrifice in the end much more meaningful imo. My idea for vampires is that they can mimic human shape, but not what makes us humans. Bcz they do not understand our emotions, our mannerism, social gestures and basic human experiences, so even tho they can look human, they can never capture humanity, which causes uncanny valley.

Another subtle detail is that i tried making him look similiar to Geralt, almost like a demonic version of Geralt. And that's mostly bcz we all mimic people we like. We copy their movements and their speech when we feel comfortable. And i assume, Vampires are no different. Except instead of movements and speech, vampires borrow faces. Think of my Regis as a parody of Geralt, an extension maybe. So that's another neat detail i added.

In the upper image, he is simply discussing poetry and art with Dandelion, regardless of his creepy smile, Dandelion knows that Regis is harmless...

In the middle is my favorite scene in which when he was challanged by that priest. Here we see his petrifying and vampiric side where he walks towards the priest while scaring him shitless with his mandela catalogue type face.

And then at the bottom are simply few of his faces, mostly during the Stygga battle.

Thx ❤️✨

my jolly reaction tbh

if i see one more person describe geralt of rivia as emotionless i'm gonna end up on the news.

even beyond the plot of witcher 3 being Geralt Loves Ciri So So So So So much, two of the best quests in the game, imo, involve geralt beating the everliving shit out of guys who abuse sex workers.

he's often quite stoic, sure, i just don't think that someone who consistently gets pissed at abuses of power (it happens all over the place in 2 and 3, i can't speak for 1 or the books) could ever be reasonably described as emotionless.

I have soooo many ideas for different 1670 headcanons or fanart, especially for a modern version of all the characters. I’m so desperate for more content in the fanbase at this point that I have different ideas 😭😭

Nah this is wild but I can imagine Jakub asking that from Geralt

1670 x The Witcher crossover

Now I'm thinking we really need it!

Imagine Geralt coming to Adamczycha.

Geralt: Hey peasants, do you have any quests for me? Any monsters to kill?

And Jakub be like: Yeah, the members of a touring theatre troupe.

The people who dismiss the Terrifier films as nothing but torture porn are seriously doing a disservice to David Howard Thornton’s acting as Art the Clown. Man is so good at physical acting and making faces that he doesn’t even need to speak to command attention. His acting is what I believe absolutely makes the series, and what I believe separates it from the typical slasher film. Also Sienna and Vicky are incredible characters for different reasons, some of the best female characters in horror

class of 09 girls + their aesthetics bc i’m tired of people not getting them.

(minor tw for sh & ed):

Class Of 09 Girls + Their Aesthetics Bc I’m Tired Of People Not Getting Them.

jecka: she’s literally a preppy, trendy 2000s teen. she wears lacoste/abercrombie polo shirts, hollister skinny jeans, american eagle, bebe jackets, and juicy couture. a lot of her clothes come from her mom’s job, as apparently her mom gets them for free.

she is a “pharma-princess” and openly idolizes paris hilton. she smokes cigarettes and casually abuses painkillers. she may be a little trashy, but she dresses like any other fashionable girl from that era.

Class Of 09 Girls + Their Aesthetics Bc I’m Tired Of People Not Getting Them.

nicole: for starters, shes lower middle class. her mom buys the cheapest internet and cable packages, as well as having nicole on the assisted lunch plan. with that being said, she’s not buying a ton of miss me jeans, bb belts, or affliction shirts. shes a hot topic/spencers fiend bc she can steal it. her outfits are usually a hoodie, tank top, or t-shirt with ripped skinny jeans- which is to say they aren’t very complicated. i think people get confused and try and dress her in the modern “y2k” fashion, but it doesn’t really work for her.

shes severely depressed and winning the idagf war, which is shown in her makeup and nails. i think her makeup routine is very messy and smudged, but thats lowkey the look.

Class Of 09 Girls + Their Aesthetics Bc I’m Tired Of People Not Getting Them.

emily: shes rich, but she doesn’t care or acknowledge it. she can buy whatever she wants, but chooses to go for the grungey/emo look. even though she’s the most “scene” character, she still follows a few trends- ex: the lifeguard hoodie. her hair is definitely damaged by the box bleach she uses and the excessive use of her straightener. i also think she 100% has raccoon eyes (in the avril lavigne-way.)

she parties with her sketchy boyfriends, day drinks, and does almost any drug she can get her hands on. she’s suicidal and highkey crazy, which results in her tattoos and scars. (the excessive SH-culture is completely on brand for the 2000s.)

Class Of 09 Girls + Their Aesthetics Bc I’m Tired Of People Not Getting Them.

ari: borderline manic pixie dream girl going through a sexuality crisis. she’s almost emo, but not quite. she wears winged eyeliner and red lipgloss. her wardrobe consists of mostly graphic tee shirts and skinny + bootcut jeans. she dyes her hair because “no one understands her,” but she still has a decent relationship with her parents.

she used to be a girl scout, so she definitely cuts her own hair and thinks it’s rebellious. i think her favorite shoe would be black high top converse.

Class Of 09 Girls + Their Aesthetics Bc I’m Tired Of People Not Getting Them.

kelly: is the definition of a trendy, trashy, 2000s girl. kelly is also rich (as stated by jecka.) she’s popular with the boys because she’s pretty, has big boobs, and dtf. she wears a lot of hollister, wet seal, juicy couture, and victoria secret. i think she would wear a full face of makeup to school. her hair is dyed blonde but she keeps the roots grown out just a little.

Class Of 09 Girls + Their Aesthetics Bc I’m Tired Of People Not Getting Them.

megan: 2000s THEATRE KID!! she’s ARTSY, not EMO. she’s apparently pretty, but not pretty enough to be constantly hit on. she wears a lot of media/pop culture clothing and jeans. (if she were in the 2010s, she would wear those hot topic disney dresses.) her hair color is her natural hair color and her nail polish is always chipped.

jecka & hunter say she’s a christian girlie, so most of her outfits are more modest and toned down compared to some of the other girls. she probably wears minimal makeup unless she’s doing a show.

Class Of 09 Girls + Their Aesthetics Bc I’m Tired Of People Not Getting Them.

karen: she’s dorky and nerdy to the extreme. she looks very mousy and homely. she likes twilight and harry potter + she works at a library (and is strict about the rules.) karen likes and is good at school. she probably only wears mascara and medicated chapstick + her glasses. she has a messy bob that she never styles.

she’s also insecure about her body, as jecka and nicole make her relapse on her ED, so she wears baggier clothing than any of the other characters.

i think she would wear sketchers and jeggings.

anywho, i like this game and im also super into the genuine 2000s fashion, so a part of me dies whenever i see someone say “nicole listens to ayesha erotica!!” or “jecka wears affliction and bb belts!” girl bffr.

banned books you need to read

with everything going on in the world, it's so important to stay educated. a lot of these books are banned because there are parallels to dystopia and today. these books are just some that i have read, and i'm working on reading more banned books, so drop your recs below!

1984 by George Orwell

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

The Giver by Lois Lowry

The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

The Color Purple by Alice Walker

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

You're the Only One I've Told by Meera Shah

**note: by the term, "banned books", it means that these books are frequently challenged, usually by conservative groups, and as a result, these books have been banned in some schools and libraries across the US. so these do NOT mean they are banned everywhere.

BUT the trump administration is aiming to ban A LOT books across the US, and most of the books on here are on their list.**
