What gets me is not only do these two cats look damn near identical, one of them decided got picked up by a total stranger and immediately decided ‘this is my human and I’m gonna keep ‘em’.

- you join a zoom call. everyone’s mic is muted, but no one is talking anyway. you stare at the squares with faces in them. which is your face? you can’t be sure.
- the news is full of numbers. you try to learn what they mean, but the articles are full of jargon from fields you have no experience in, and you swear the numbers change when you blink.
- you wake up. you sleep. you wake up. you sleep. how many days was that? you have no idea.
- you go for a walk. a shadow follows you down the street, moving when you move, stopping when you stop. always the recommended six feet away.
- every day you get several emails from corporations you’ve never heard of. each company name sounds fake, too vague, too optimistic. “Stay healthy! :)” they say. “We’re committed to keeping you safe! You must stay healthy! We love you very much! We learned everything about you so we can keep you safe! Please believe us we love you so much we’ r e , s 0Rry:):)):))” You try to unsubscribe, but the link just takes you to a blank black webpage. Suddenly, you can make out your reflection in the screen. What’s that over your shoulder?

Hi, I want to ask you something out of pure curiosity :) A lot of people say Jaskier in the books is sexist and to be honest I dont know where did it come from? I remember he liked to sleep with women a lot but I always thought it was because he easly fell in love or just because he wanted a one night adventure with a beautiful woman that wanted the same with the cute bard? Or its not about his sex life? I read the books a few years ago so i dont remember them well. Maybe you can help me? :)
It is open to interpretation, of course, but the fact is that he usually wasn’t treating women well…
‘She’s furious because I chatted a bit to the gate-keeper when I got here, a pretty blonde with long lashes and a virgin’s plait reaching down to her cute little bottom, which it would be a sin not to pinch. So I did’
So this is how we met Jaskier/Dandelion for the first time. He likes to have many short sexual relationships with women – that’s totally fine, but the usual pattern is: he seduces a woman; lies to her that she’s the only one; she finds out he’s cheating; he runs away while she’s throwing his stuff out of the window.
'I’m generally in favour of sex on the first date. In the future, I recommend it to you in every respect. It eliminates the necessity of any further rendezvous with the same person, which can be wearisome and time-consuming.’
That cynical planning doesn’t really suit ‘a naive guy who just can’t help falling in love with every girl’ type, even if you take it as a joke. Also here is a quote, from where he is pretenting the whole evening to like one girl just to make a move on her ‘prettier’ friend:
'Ha, ha. But you’re so oafishly stupid. You didn’t understand anything. Veverka? I don’t care about Veverka. I simply wanted to stab Miss Akeretta with jealousy, as I shall make a pass at her tomorrow.’
That’s just manipulative and wrong. Poor Veverka.
’Dandelion,’ the Witcher sighed, now genuinely tired. ’You’re a cynic, a lecher, a womaniser and a liar.’
Geralt – who is not a prude and also likes casual sex, so it’s not like he’s jealous of his lifestyle – criticizes him often for that and he knows him best.
Women don’t need money. I mean what for? They don’t drink, they don’t play dice, and they’re bloody women themselves.
Something he said after stealing money from his fiancee he never married, because he cheated on her… And he never shows any remorse or sadness for what he does, like nothing happened.
He also likes to tell jokes and sing songs like this:
No wonder that comely ladies are all so stuck-up For the taller the tree, the harder it is to get up. Simply treat a maiden as you would a tree Whip out your chopper and one-two-three…
And there is almost always someone to comment upon that and call him ‘an idiot’, so it’s not like the author is not aware and portrays his behaviour as acceptable.
He divides women into ‘very likeable, likeable, unlikeable and very unlikeable’ depending on how they react to his proposition of making out, but truth be told there are couple exeptions. He treats with respect the priestess Mother Nenneke, Ciri and Essi Daven (loves her like a sister) and later on, Yennefer and Milva, even if at the beginning he only noticed their breasts, he learns to treat them right.
Jaskier is of course more than a playboy and a comic relief – he’s very perceptive, loyal, well educated, often shows empathy and acts as a moral compass in the darkest moments. And that’s something I would choose to focus on in writing a script. ;)
I love how geralt saw the outcome of the law of surprise and still he said "you know what? I want THAT" and IMMEDIATELY regretted it, like sir, this is what you signed up for
Okay but when Geralt said "don't touch her" in that tone of voice. My panties were off sis.
And then this mf fight scene happened... When he pushes them with the force. I mean his "witchery" I squealed
Sometimes a family is a stray feral princess, her destiny-given grumpy father, her badass mother, her other musically gifted dad, and an ever expanding cast of aunts and uncles
The most confusing part of the Witcher timeline is Jaskier. I've been told he's supposed to be in his 30s in episode 6. Which means that he's supposed to be like 17 or something when we first see him???
Geralt's just chilling in the tavern when this toddler valtzes up to him like "Hi! Guess who is your new PR manager?"
“waaah the Witcher was inspired by medieval Poland and so putting POC in the show is disrespectful to our history and culture bc it’s inaccurate and ahistorical!”
yeah but there are also dragons and shit, so…
“but that’s ok bc it’s still based on Slavic folklore!!!!”
ok well as a person of Polish descent myself, let me remind you that the books have:
- the multiverse theory
- time travel
- intricate discussions about genetics and DNA
- in-vitro fertilisation experiments
- mutants
- Geralt referencing the 1995 film The Usual Suspects
all things that do not exist in medieval Slavic history or folklore
if you can handle Sapkowski going completely bugfuck in what inspires his lore (which is frankly one of his strengths as a writer) you can handle seeing a few black and brown people on your screen
Henry Cavil did nothing for me as Superman, but does everything for me as Geralt.
Even so, I miss sad, self-loathing Geralt who is gnarled and scarred and monstrous, who sees a doppler take his form and thinks “how hideous I am,” who has cat eyes that react to light, who makes people flee when they see him just because of how inhuman he looks.
Because Henry still looks mostly human except for his eyes and even those aren’t as weird as they ought to be.
Jaskier makes a comment about Chicken looking plump, and Geralt rolls his eyes all "and who's fault would that be? You're the one feeding him"
"You try saying 'no' to an adorable face and a pair of big beautiful eyes!"
Geralt, probably, "I already do. And have. Plenty." But something tells me he's not talking about the hirikka
But then Chicken isn't seen for days. Weeks. Jaskier is visibly upset, he tries calling for him on their trips. Tries leaving scraps out-Geralt stops him, because the last thing they need is a hungry animal who isn't so friendly attaching itself to Jaskier.
"Someone probably killed it. Doesn't help it's been hanging around close to town. People don't take to strange beasts too well. Why do you think they're so endangered?"
"He wouldn't hurt a fly, Geralt!"
And yeah Jaskier writes a song about it, he's about halfway finished, on a two week trip. When he spots a familiar pair of eyes in the dark. "Chicken! Geralt! Geralt it's-" "I heard. Be quiet. You'll scare them." "Them?"
And there's Chicken, emerging from the bushes. Looking kind of... lumpy? But then the lumps have eyes, and long limbs. And Chicken turned out to be a Hen. She has four little cubs all clinging to her hide and Jaskier is-he's crying.
And she wants to show them to Jaskier. At least once. Before she has to make the trek back home to raise her cubs somewhere safe-which is a good thing, says Geralt "Last thing you want is for the cubs to be too trusting of humans."
Jaskier hugs them all and cries, "I only have two arms, Geralt! ;A; How will I hold all of my bug-eyed beauties??"
I feel like Jaskier shakily singing “toss a coin to your Witcher, oh valley of PEEENIS” when Yen grabs his crotch in bottled appetites is a highly underrated moment of poetic cinema
the witcher is great, not only because it has women and poc in it, but mostly because oh so stonecold apathetic geralt 'Goth Thot McHorny' says fuck everytime something mildly inconvenient happens to him
Anonymous asked:
I always imagine Geralt (especially in modern au) hating crowds and interacting with others and so Jaskier finally gets to help is boyfriend out for once instead of always being the one needing taken care of. (Geralt with anxiety in any for is my kryptonite) It also helps make Jaskier feel important and useful
(oooooo f c k, alright modern au but there are still v much monsters and beasts and mages ye? Ye)
They-and by they he meant Geralt, mainly, he was but a tagalong-had been tracking this troublesome doppelganger for weeks now. And it wasn't quite easy. Especially in such a large city. Much less in a crowd as packed as this one.
Geralt was at his wit's end. He never liked crowds. They made getting around hard. And keeping an eye on a target even harder. And when said target was a threat, well, suffice to say Geralt's nerves were all over the place.
The only thing keeping him grounded was Jaskier's hand clutching the back of his jacket. A hand which moved to take the Witcher's hand. "Don't worry, we'll find the bastard soon enough."
"If it hasn't already changed face." He growled, turning left. Then right. Right again. Trying to keep track of the scent. But with so many different smells and perfumes around him it was near impossible. Crowds were the worst. Too many people. Too many different stimuli. Sounds. Touch. And Geralt has bared witness to just how easily a crowd could turn on you.
"You're getting nervous." And only someone who knew Geralt would have guessed it. But that didn't mean he had to respond to what was so blatantly obvious to Jaskier. "And something tells me it's not just the doppler that has you worried."
The only response he got was a grunt. Which, granted, he expected.
And he knew talking wouldn't help things. Geralt wasn't really the type. Jaskier could adapt. He always did.
He fit his fingers between the Witcher's, giving him a firm squeeze. Just to let him know he was there. Geralt didn't hesitate in returning it
And he always would be.
