Jaskier To Triss Swap Mod(bonus Dandelion Netflix Style Recolor)

Jaskier to Triss Swap mod (bonus Dandelion Netflix style recolor)

Okay so—

It’s 3 am and I’m watching YouTube randomly and come across a video showing the characters of Steven Universe the first time they’ve showed up and then the last time they’ve showed up, so I gave it a watch. I’m just gonna say this now and let everyone know I’m not, a big part of the fandom or the show really, I think it’s an amazing show and I’ll watch some episodes but I can’t sit down and watch it beginning to end, its just not my person.

Anyways, me being me, while watching this video I start to come up with ideas. When I was friends with people who were in love with the show at the time, they’d get me to make some gemsonia’s for theirs and they hang out and party y’know? Like oc’s do and I come up with an idea, which could possibly already be out there, of maybe..... I dunno....

The Witcher characters as gems?

Hear me out hear me out, okay? For the people who know of the Witcher book series and game series, I’m sorry, I’m not that well informed about either though I wish to be, this will mostly tag along to the Netflix show of the Witcher. Just letting everyone know, just in case

Let’s start with little Ciri, our Lion cub, child surprise to multiple fans. I haven’t really thought too much about her situation, because it’s 3 am and I don’t want to make an exact copy of Steven Universe because everything should be original! But for her, I do know I think of her as the human, the small kid who’s pushed into situations like Steven, not sure if she should be half gem or just, human, but if she was half gem it would explain her powers— my point is, is that she is the tiny one the world, or her gems, revolve around.

Next, let’s go to the fool who called the law of surprise. Geralt himself. I’m stuck between thinking of him being a moonstone or an opal. One, I think moonstone just sounds really cool, and two because I know opals have that rainbow effect and I would love to have Geralt feel f e e l i n g s and he blushes and that exact same rainbow effect happens to his cheeks, I think that would just be adoring, wouldn’t you? He is a fighter, a protector, he cares deeply for Ciri and will do anything for her, her own little (big really) opal/moonstone. I would think his stone is on his hand, making his weapon(s) appear and able to use quicker.

Now, you maybe thinking well who else you got, and I’m gonna say it fellas, yes our beloved bard is in this too. I want Jaskier to pop out, like he always has, so I’ve thought of Lapis Lazuli. Reason? Well I got a few *shuffles cards* lapis is a beautiful and rich royal blue, eye catching, and in some lighting can be seen as purple, I know some lapis stones can have bits that make it looks like gold is laced into the stone, so it’s even more of a reason why, also Lapis Lazuli? Come on man, even the name is fancy. His stone would be easy, I know people may want it on his throat because uhhh duh, he sings, but I think it would be on his chest. Jaskier’s character has a big heart for everyone he meets, our dear heart Joey himself has told us that. If you want reference on how he acts, Steven universe’s Sardonyx personality is what I’d point my finger to. He’s a bard, he lives to preform. His weapon? No idea but don’t get on his bad side man.

Finally, and certainly not the last, Yennefer. Immediately I thought of Amethyst, a purple and beautiful gemstone. Amethyst is used for a lot of purposes, to looking pretty on a shelf to holding purpose in witchcraft, I’m not well educated in such thing, so I’m not going to say much other than I know it’s used in it. I’d say her gem is on her stomach, reasons being is that i just feel like it would be placed there and for the episode she traded the ability to give birth for beauty. Her weapon? I am not sure of that either, but like amethyst in Steven Universe, her mood varies.

For now, that’s all I have. I am tired, so that’s all I’m going to make for this. If anyone else wants to add or replace something, by all means I am open to anything, anything at all. I know I would like to add Esekl and Lambert somehow and what I’m thinking is maybe those two fuse to make Geralt, like Garnet with Ruby and Sapphire, and frankly, I think it would be hilarious. But for now, it’s time for bed.

Had a thought. Might already exist. Not too sure. We’re going ahead anyway.

So it’s modern Geraskier once again and this time they’re neighbours in an average apartment complex that has thin af walls. They’re not thin to the point that you can hear every single word said, but they’re thin enough that you can hear the strum of a guitar and rather lovely voice come through every night at some ungodly hour.

Geralt was annoyed with the singing at first since he had had a long day already. But as time went by he came to appreciate it. It was a weird sort of comfort he took in those nights he came home later than usual.

It reminded him of old times. Back when he had a horse, a bard and the empty trail ahead of them. It was a bittersweet memory at this point. Something he enjoyed looking back on but brought an old ache to his chest every time the face in those memories faded a little more with time.

One night when he comes home his neighbour is singing again, out by the balcony where Geralt conviniently had a chair placed. It was an especially tiring day so the Witcher ignores the need for a shower right now and goes to sit in the chair, closing his eyes and just immersing himself in the oddly familiar strum of guitar.

As the strumming goes on it becomes increasingly familiar and Geralt is beginning to become restless with the idea that he knows what song it is. He just can’t put his finger on it...

Then the man sings those first words that had left Geralt feeling guilty centuries after the whole mess and the Witcher is up and running out his front door. He’s not even fully aware that he’s knocked on the door in rapid succession until it swings open to reveal a head of full, brown hair and painfully familiar cornflower blue eyes.

“Geralt?” And it takes everything in the Witcher to not latch onto this man, this bard, his bard, his Jaskier and beg for forgiveness. Instead he stands there, utterly speechless until a soft whisper of, “Jaskier...” Escapes his mouth and said man smiles softly at him.

“It’s good to see you old friend.” Geralt can’t hold it. He latches onto him and holds him close, breathing in his scent that’s always lingered in the back of his mind. They’re still in the doorway of Jaskier’s apartment, Geralt is still dirty from his job, it’s late as fuck at night but he feels like he’s finally home.

Jaskier can do nothing but chuckle as he wraps his own arms around Geralt’s shoulders, mentally shuffling through memories that suddenly came flooding back to him when he saw the Witcher.

He pulls them inside after a while, sitting Geralt on the couch and then ending up in his lap when the Witcher refused to let go of him. The bard continues to just smile and indulge the Witcher, his heart lurching in his chest as past feelings rise and take a fierce grip on him once again.

the animal inside

When the sorcerer throws the spell at Jaskier, Geralt expects many things but not what he actually sees.

The spell is meant to unravel the animal inside one’s soul and turn the person into it. It’s a cynic irony and it’s nor deadly, so Geralt can’t exactly kill the sorcerer. It’s just annoying, especially as Jaskier gets hit. Geralt is sure he’ll have some kind of songbird, or a lark or another annoying singing bird stuck by his side for the next 2 weeks.

What he isn’t expecting is for a big shape to jump on the sorcerer and close its jaws on the man’s neck with a crunch.

“Jaskier!” he yells, sword in his hand. Did something go wrong?

Then, Geralt gets a good look at the animal and all words die. Jaskier, for it must be Jaskier, is some kind of big cat. Sleek and tawny brown, with moving ears and a long tail. He’s big, not quite as large as some tigers Geralt saw, but big enough. Big paws and strong jaws, shockingly blue eyes.

“Jaskier,” Geralt mutters.

Jaskier huffs at him and then goes still. Geralt sees him look at his paws and then turn in a circle, chasing his tail. Then, Jaskier plops down on his hear and makes a small chirp, years standing tall.

The Witcher comes closer hesitantly and the cat pushes his head into his hand. Geralt starts to pet him while looking. There’s solid muscle in the animal’s chest, sleek but powerful and his legs are strong, capable. He looks like a killing machine with a feral glint in his eyes and for a second, Geralt wonders why he was expecting a bird.

It’s not some cliche, it’s what’s inside. And inside, Jaskier is definitely not sweet and gentle and cowardly, so he’s not that surprised to see a feral big cat with stunning blue eyes.

“Only you, Jaskier,” Geralt says dryly and gets headbutted in the side. “Now you have to help with hunting.”

Jaskier just huffs again and yawns, uncomfortably large teeth on display, as well as the strong jaw. Geralt’s aware that he’s probably strong enough to chop a human arm off with those jaws.

They set off again because they’re used to weird things and Jaskier takes to his new form with delight, chasing animals and jumping around, testing his new legs. Geralt just admires from the distance and that night, he has a solid weight of pure muscle and fur settling on his chest, familiar eyes blinking at him. He just chuckles and kisses Jaskier’s forehead.

In all forms, he’s still Jaskier.
