Cahir Mawr Dyffryn Aep Ceallach - Tumblr Posts
More Witcher doodles for you. Featuring milva and cahir for the first time :D
going through the cahir tag on literally any site actually makes me nauseous sometimes because so much of the content is either netflix cahir who id rather die than look at or ciri/cahir which id RATHER DIE THAN LOOK AT or some blatant cahir mischaracterization in service of a ship or narrative LEAVE MY MAN ALONE
mi-mi Cahir ‘cause recently I’m recalling Time of Contempt before S3 comes out
something i haven't seen discussed in my limited viewing of book-fandom spaces: cahir's attitude towards women and what it says about nilfgaardian attitudes towards women, especially women's health/reproductive health.
there's a throwaway line in baptism of fire where the hansa is discussing regis' danger to them as a vampire, where regis mentions that some cultures make their women isolate during menstruation, and cahir says "only savages" or something similar (it might be "barbarians", i listen to the audiobooks so i have a hard time finding exact wording). there's also the probably more well-known statement that he makes later on in the book when the men are discussing milva's pregnancy and he alludes to women having the absolute/final decision regarding whether to continue a pregnancy or pursue an abortion in his culture.
idk i just think it's neat. and he's an early-twenties soldier, so logically he should be pretty far removed from discussions of that nature - the fact that he's willing and able to make comments like that indicates to me that southern cultures speak pretty freely about menstruation, pregnancy, etc., and of course he mentions his sisters in relation to the comment about a woman's right to choose, but his remark about only savages making their women isolate themselves struck me as really interesting - like at best you would expect a man his age and of his status to just not care or pay attention or more likely to think it's disgusting - but he specifically goes out of his way to indicate his disapproval of women being forced to isolate for something natural and he goes out of his way to express that where he's from, women make their own reproductive choices. i am probably thinking about this more than sapkowski did but daddy i love him.
A little milva and cahir doodle I found and finished off or... redrew to a more presentable level.
I give you Cahir Mawr Dyffryn aep Ceallach 🌞

thinking hard about whether the song about Vicovaro girls from tw3 could be a reference to the three Cahir sisters nothing is random in this universe u know
Reblogging LongHair!Cahir, because this is giving him serious Mcconaughey vibes & I'm here for it. Plus, wink to Flame magic.
He hadn’t been touched in months, except for pain. I wrote a little something something. https://archiveofourown.org/works/35999854/chapters/89741110
He tucked her closer, hand on her womb. "We have to move as one. Here."

After a time, her head emerged from the waters. Her hungry lungs took a deep breath; but the weight on her chest didn’t disappear. Then, a gasp. He was there. Penetrating gaze. The ice of his iris was burning. My mind has all those CahirxYenn scenes and I can't stop writing them I'm sorry— https://archiveofourown.org/works/35999854/chapters/93377830
Flame & Chaos
Gradually, Yennefer had pieced together why his reactions were each time arousing such rage in her. And such longing. can't stop won't stop writing about these two~ https://archiveofourown.org/works/35999854/chapters/94650988
Yennefer finally reaches Cintra. Cahir welcomes her. "My head didn’t roll as soon as I stepped through the gate. I must thank you." https://archiveofourown.org/works/35999854/chapters/98672205
Flame & Chaos
Things were shifting indeed. Like a rogue wave. A chuckle. It was all it took. A warm gaze. A soft and comforting pressure on her arms. A welcome. A promise fulfilled. Even if her logic had resolved this previous tedious problem, even if she had felt the breakthrough of ending the cycle in her very bones, Yennefer of Vengerberg couldn’t deny the frivolous, appealing warmth of a bath. A warm embrace. A piece of solace, corrupting her mind, yet healing the body. Yennefer experiencing some treacherous thoughts about Cahir while taking a bath.
I had to know you could be trusted. That I had not lost you.
I asked for a private audience to protect your secret. But Cirilla... Cirilla is out there. I am having dreams about her. She wants me to find her.
