That is how I felt when I realized I could no longer count on you to fulfill my mission.
Thanks for the warm welcome here's another 💛
Random but who are your favorite witcher characters and why? And some of ur posts make it seem like you hate Jaskier and the wolf Witchers is that true?
Haha I def don’t hate Jaskier and the wolves. Eskel and Lambert are awesome characters I really like I just don’t post about them as much and Jaskier is legit one of my favs I love that funky bard sm he’s a disaster. My username is bamf-Jaskier he’s high key the reason I originally started this blog.
My fav characters are Fringilla and Geralt. Why? Because they are both autistic 😂
I’ve said my piece on Cavill so be careful don’t fall down that alt-right pipeline that exists in this fandom.
So now let’s move on to the far superior topic of conversation: Fringilla.
Let’s just refocus and talk about her again.
you're so right!
anyway i think that she loves cats, but only ever admires them from afar because she still feels such guilt and shame about having frozen one as a kid. ("it was an accident" my heart)
yes!
and fringilla who just wants to be part of something! she wants to be valued and she wants to be loved, but even more so, she wanted to feel those things about other people!
After Fringilla escapes Emhyr she decides to chill it up maybe in Ofir or Zerrikania, somewhere far away from the war, and she gets herself a cat. She takes very good care of her cat and she becomes one of those cat moms. Probably enchants the cat to be ice proof too.
The one thing about Fringilla that always hurts my heart is how good she was and how innocent before Aretuza. And how her ambition and desire to help became so brutally twisted.
I want to watch her to gain self confidence and grow into herself.
fringilla headcanons of the day:
- she played a stringed instrument as a girl, probably a violin or equivalent and was never very good at it even though she practiced all the time
- she reads really technical academic books for fun but also secretly really likes fairytales.
- fairytales remind her of the stories her father told her and her siblings when she was very young. she used to sit in her father's lap while he told them, feeling small and safe. as she grew, he never stopped making her feel small but the safety and comfort dwindled to nothing.
- she's the youngest of several sisters, all of which have their shit together and live ordinary mortal lives with husbands and estates plenty of children and grandchildren. she no longer visits them, hating to see them age gracefully and happily with their families while she stays the same alone and unsatisfied.
- her family are minor nobility and despite their connections to the brotherhood through Artorious (who is her father's great great uncle), they have very negative views of mages and are disappointed when fringilla is the first in several generations in their family to show natural aptitude with chaos.
- fringilla was always a very bright and eager and obedient little girl, trying her best to gain the favor of her teachers and her parents, but it never really seemed to matter.
- she has a weakness for things like fruit dipped in chocolate or salted licorice or fudge but does not let herself indulge often. she does not like the idea of enjoying luxuries like that while rations are tight among her people.
- she doesn't usually give much thought to her hair or her appearance, not until she meets francesca. if asked, she would claim not to want to be outdone by the elven mage but truly, she changes to a more elaborate style in the hopes that francesca notices her.
- she knows the nitty gritty details of the tax code of half a dozen countries because she's a weird kind of nerd who likes rules.
- lawful good paladin
- she is either asexual or demisexual and has a complicated relationship with sexuality and her own body in general. 100% a lesbian but hasn't had time to explore that and doesn't know where to start. the idea of being perceived one on one with someone else in an intimate setting is mortifying.
- she has spent a lot of her life alone and prefers it so is also really awkward when in casual social situations. polite small talk is torture, though she is good at it.
- she likes horses and had several as a girl but has never been a very confident rider
- also, she's good at math
while digging through my wips, I found a whole fully finished ficlet so here's that I suppose!
a frinfran corporate office au
*
While her fellows in the office yearn for the weekend with a religious sort of zeal, moaning and gnashing their teeth less and less as their pitiful two days off from their corporate hell finally approach, Fringilla has always dreaded Fridays.
There is never enough time in the work week to do everything that needs doing, always one more memo to write and one more report to look over. Contrary to her coworker’s apparent belief, the world does not stop turning over the weekend, and every Monday brings a backlog of briefs and voicemails and messages to slogs through.
She frets over falling behind, always seeming to miss her next promotion, always landing just shy of the accolades that others achieve, offered formulaic praise for her tireless work but never more than that.
She has already fallen behind, her dear family so quick to remind her of the successful lives of her older siblings and cousins. Her mother calls her each Sunday night with news and gossip, and Fringilla sits in her pristine kitchen with the phone crooked against her ear and makes the appropriate noises in the right places and feels her dread grow all the while.
Fridays also allow for business casual office wear. Fringilla does not observe the practice, keeping to her rotating wardrobe of neutral-toned power suits and simple jewelry, but sometimes, she looks at how the women and even the men in the office dress each Friday and wonders how exactly they make the simple act of wearing clothing seem so effortless.
She fears there has been some memo she missed, not just about fashion but about socializing at all and about hobbies and music and TV shows. About friendship and romance. About life.
In the evenings, Fringilla goes home to her luxury apartment alone and looks out over the glittering lights of the city and sips at a glass of red wine while her microwave low calorie meal heats up and frets and dreads and wonders.
Then, there is Francesca.
Fringilla quotes in her ink collection, part 3
for Witcher Ladies Appreciation Week, day 3: favorite quotes
"But I would never do that. Oh, I would never do that."
- from the conversation with Cahir, when he had just suggested that perhaps she had killed the elven baby
and
"Rave."
- from immediately before that conversation, when she has just paralyzed the Nilfgaardian military leaders, murdered them all save Cahir, and is telling him exactly what he'd better do when Emhyr arrives

FRINGILLA VIGO 1.03 | Betrayer Moon
“ My most valuable lesson, though… came on my last night there. When Yennefer of Vengerberg stole the seat of Aedirn to which I was entitled. And that taught me; whenever a lesser light tries to steal what is yours… you do not sit there and take it. You must do w h a t e v e r i s r e q u i r e d to hold on to what you’ve earned. ”

Yengilla for the wlw who like bingo
Them..them…between this and coenchop I think I have a thing for pairings that are literary foils 😆
I love them. There’s a reason S2E2 was my favorite episode and it’s literally only because of them.
Send me ships for ship bingo
frinfran ship bingo
I love this pairing. Probably the most wholesome thing I ship in The Witcher. They kiss…they hold hands,,,maybe exchange.,,,a flower,,,, 🥺
This is literally the soft wlw ship I have in twn, most of my other ships I’m like “and they stabbed each other lovingly” and here I’m like “they baked each other cookies and cuddled”
This is the ship that is for nice things and heartbreak when they inevitably must leave each other
