Okay, I'd always noticed the way Jaskier immediately presses his body into Radovid after their lips make contact, and how Radovid seems to be caught off guard and slightly jolts in response...
But, because of how dark that scene is lit, I hadn't paid proper attention to their physical environment, and the way Radovid somehow "stands his ground" against the sudden pressure (i.e. there's a surprisingly large space between him and that wall behind him that very much stays there).
I'd always assumed Radovid was leaning against a wall, and had always found that sort of "upward pelvic push" Jaskier gives him whilst kissing rather bold (and sexy).
But that "pelvic push" actually has the effect of helping Jaskier "lift Radovid up" - bringing him out of that slightly slouched and defeated posture - to make him stand a bit taller so he can properly meet him in that kiss!
Jaskier is sort of simultaneously pressing against Radovid with his hips, while also bringing his own shoulders and weight backwards, thus forcing Radovid to slightly move up and forward.
And that "slight jolt" in Radovid's shoulders is him immediately compensating by "catching Jaskier" in his arms and steadying them both.
Jaskier basically just gave Radovid the kissing equivalent of a "trust fall"!
Are you kidding me?!
Like: "Here! Stop worrying about your playing, stand up straight very gay and catch me, there's kissing to be done!"
And the second Radovid felt his balance shift he immediately caught Jaskier in his arms and kept them both from toppling over.
Jaskier is simultaneously taking charge of the situation... while putting Radovid in charge.
That boy really wants a partnership, doesn't he?
He's wordlessly going: "Here, I'll help lift you up, but then I need you to catch me and keep us steady. We've got this! "
Also explains why that movement is so synchronized...
From the first gif, it appears that, when Radovid caught Jaskier, he brought his hands up to his shoulder blades, or very close to them (at least, if you look at the way Jaskier's arm and sleeve move when he grabs him).
So, the moment Radovid relaxes his own shoulders while holding Jaskier in his arms, Jaskier's shoulders should automatically follow his movement, too.
I've paid so much attention to the way that Jaskier is touching Radovid's hair and face in that scene, that I'd totally missed that Radovid caught him and is holding him in his arms while they're just standing there together in an open space the whole time... What is this?!
how can you sit there and say you're basically skint whilst when looking for your, son you have at least five unnecessary extra rooms that include a fucking library (/study, whatever the fuck it's called?)

“Well, when I was on my first day in the recording studio, Baz wanted me to get as close to performing as possible,” he says, searching his mind for that day years back. “He had all the executives and everybody from RCA, who were back in the offices, he brought them into the recording studio and he goes, ‘I want you all to sit facing Austin,’...and he told them to heckle me. So then they were making fun of me and stuff while I was singing.” There was, of course, a reason behind the humiliation. “When we were filming this moment when Elvis first goes on stage and he’s getting heckled by the audience, I knew what that felt like,” he says. “I went home in tears that night. I really did.”

I don't think any of you know him, well, okay, his name is "bee Tails" (lol, I'm waiting for jokes that he's "Charmy Tails", well, or that he's their son), I plan to make a remake of him
Eh, although I plan to make a so-called "remake" of this Lisa, but it will not completely become outdated, it may be called "aphid bee Legacy?"
And yes, meet his "family"! (actually, this is based on the fact that he was sometimes called "Tails Charmy")
