This Man Doesnt Have It Easy - Tumblr Posts

Y’know, it’s not that I’m tired of soft Eskel headcanons, I just equally want Eskel headcanons where he gets upset, down in the dumps, angry, etc.

Imagining Eskel walking into town and getting a contract, talking to the contractor and finding out the the Witcher before that tried to take this beast down didn’t make it? I know they say Witcher’s don’t have emotion, but thinking of the overwhelming feeling he’d get is enough to keep his jaw tense through the entire thing, his wrists and fingers sore from clenching and unclenching. He mourns pretty hard for them, since no one else is gonna do it for these Witcher’s.

Or seeing Eskel fuss over Lambert in Kaer Morhens kitchen, they’re suppose to be making dinner when Lambert uses the wrong ingredients, and he’s not upset over that, but the facts that Lambert kept putting the wrong things in it on purposes after made him set things down roughly and inhale sharply through his nose, before walking out with a long and heavy sigh. He walked the walls a couple of times that night to cool off.

Possibly the saddest of the bunch is maybe he’s having a good day, didn’t get as injured on a hunt and got paid full price and while he’s walking back to Scorpion, a babe let’s put a startled cry from the look of him, causing the mother to startle at him too. This caused a chain reaction, more eyes and more disgusted and terrified looks sent his way and he only just realized he left his hood down. It completely shatters his mood.

I love making headcanons for happy Eskel, but adding a mix of both happy and sad headcanons makes my cake. I like to think that he also has support there for him of course, after ever shower is sunshine.
