Geralt comes across a book titled "How to Keep Your Companions Happy and Cared For." What he doesn't realize is that it's actually a guide for dog care.
Nevertheless, Geralt decides to follow the advice in the book with Jaskier. After all, he just got his bard back and wants him to stick around.
Jaskier, on the other hand, is perplexed by Geralt's recent habit of patting his head and giving him extra snacks. Despite the confusion, he doesn't really mind; it's actually quite nice.

Alderman: Melitele's tits!
Townspeople: *screams*
Jaskier: People, please! We're all frightened and horny.

meta analysis of Extraordinary Things because I have no life
Keep your words on ice
Your gaze lights the fire.
Pretty straight forward, Geralt’s cold attitude and words combined with his gold, “fiery” eyes.
They say keep on playing nice
But I have no desire
This I feel like is a reference to his bisexuality, being told to conform to the typical standards of relationships, or perhaps to accept his nobility as it reflects on his romantic affairs. Play nice and keep in line. But that’s not who he is as a person and he has no desire to pretend like he’ll ever fit that mold.
Why waste our words
When lips were made
For extraordinary things
Fairly straightforward as well, he’s tired of the fancy wordplay and the double entendres of noble life. He doesn’t want to dance around the way he feels or conceal his emotions. Why waste time with talking around how you feel when you can simply accept it. Which is very fitting as he is very open with his romantic life.
It’s not a want, it’s a need
It is paying no heed
To what others say to sing
Another reference to his orientation, however I also feel like this might be a small reference to the line in Her Sweet Kiss “I’m weak my love, and I am wanting” which could be an indicator of his feelings for Geralt adapting and evolving over time. They’ve deepened into a need to simply be around Geralt, even if his role in Geralt’s life isn’t quite was he desires. Geralt matters just that much to him.
The greatest songs are made up
Of unspoken words of love
Okay this line I feel like is the most damning, but possibly not for the reasons people might think. There’s a lot of focus on the “unspoken words of love” section of this line, but I was more focused onto this reference of his music. He’s saying that of the songs he has written, he has embedded his love for Geralt in every line. In particular, the his romantic ballads. He keeps his love songs inconspicuous, switching around pronouns and never revealing a name. Those are expressions of his “unspoken works of love”.
Of them I’ve had enough
With you I have enough
With you I am enough
I am enough
This is where we get angsty. His tone gets defeated and exhausted singing this line. He’s tired of being so desperately in love with someone who will never be able to share that love in the same capacity. He’s had enough of feeling like he’ll never be enough. Radovid has made him feel like he can be enough for someone, but that’s not quite what he needs either (with unintentional foreshadowing to Radovid’s manipulation). He wants to be enough for himself, in his own right, without relying on other people’s perception of him.
Drop the sweet disguise
Your heart’s beating too loud
The fairytale’s and little lies
Can’t drown out all the sound
So I’ve seen this be translated as foreshadowing for him and Radovid’s relationship, but considering that he would have only known Radovid for a couple of days at best, I feel like this interpretation is a little too loose and abstract. We know he writes his ballads about events he’s experienced in his own life, and he doesn’t tend to write about abstract concepts or future events. I feel it’s more likely that this is a reflection of the fact that Jaskier very much knows that Geralt is aware of his feelings. We know that Geralt can canonly hear heartbeats. Jaskier knows that no matter how many pretty ballads he sings and excuses he gives, he can’t hide his feelings, and Geralt will never address them, whether to protect Jaskier’s emotions or their friendship. It’s a feeling of defeat and almost a bit of self-flagellation. Like he’s shaming himself for daring to have these feelings, using a slightly mocking tone while singing these lines.
So take this heart
And break this heart
For extraordinary things
In this, Jaskier is tossing aside these feelings. He’s willing to let his heart be broken and his hopes be dashed to be by Geralt’s side because he sees that Geralt has a destiny and a purpose. He’s willing to go through the pain of never having Geralt in the way he needs because he knows that Geralt has a greater purpose, and he’s devoting himself to seeing this purpose play out.
It’s not a want, it’s a need
It is paying no heed to what
Others say to sing
The greatest songs are made up
Of unspoken words of love
Of them I’ve had enough
With you I have enough
With you I am enough
I am
I am enough…
In short, I feel like this song is very clearly an expression of Jaskier’s feelings of hopelessness towards his relationship with Geralt. He’s desperately in love with a man who he knows in his heart that he will never be enough for, whether due to orientation or feeling like Geralt has a far greater purpose than Jaskier could ever hope to understand or fulfill. He wants desperately to be enough for someone, and to feel like anybody could be enough to fill the hole that Geralt has left inside him. Enter Radovid, who sees this weakness and immediately exploits it to his advantage. But my rant on the cinematography of the scene indicating Radovid’s calculated manipulation and Jaskier’s emotional vulnerability will come another day.
Thank you Joey Batey for another total masterpiece of a performance and a song that will haunt me till I die. 🥹💕

Gerakier prompt
Based From cursed Geralt au by @swan--writes
Once upon a time
A Witch cursed Geralt. Why did the witch cursed Geralt you may ask?
Well this Witch so happen to stumble in a Tavern where Jaskier was meeting up with His Sister
"Julie" The Bard began "Geralt won't eat enough he won't sleep enough he maybe sleeps 4 hours at most.. AT MOST! Julie and he's wearing clothes that He hates!"
Julie Tried to calm her brother down "perhaps bring him to home see if he can resist our baby sister puppy eyes?"
The Witch decided that she would help the Bard with many names. Witchers do need to take care of themselves more perhaps this would help?
---
So basically Geralt didn't anger a Witch
Witch just decided she liked the Bard and wanted to help
The curse last about 3 weeks and it's just full of Geralt getting luxury treatment wondering why the Bard isn't abusing this for other things the only commands Jaskier gives Geralt benefits Geralts wellbeing and as much as Jaskier wants to he won't ask any questions untill after the curse is lifted
Plot twist the witch is Julie girlfriends

Reasons to vote for each of them below:
In the books, they are lifelong best friends and travel companions, and when Jaskier recounts their meeting, he notes that Geralt immediately latched onto him and they were fast friends. You even get to see their first adventure, and they're already talking and bickering like an old married couple, and bravely offering to sacrifice their lives for the other. Both of them do this!! They've known each other like two days maybe. And despite the fact that they're so different, that they don't necessarily have anything logistical to offer each other, they stay together as best friends and companions through the entire series, a great long adventure of hardship!! Just because they care!! Just because they both looked at each other and said "yes, that one please." Obviously I take it in a romantic sense, but romantic or platonic they're just very sweet.
-- @roughentumble, on Gerskier
they fell in love so instantly. charles saved erik's life and I think it was love at first sight for both of them. erik, who struggles extremely in expressing any emotion other than anger, calls charles adorable after less than a day of knowing him. and later thay day when he's about to leave, charles asks him nicely to please stay with him and he just does. they both then immediately became extremely close and road tripped the united states together (some very gay moments on that trip) and then ended up living together afterwards. (they do break up at the end of that movie but they always get back together again after they break up.)

Fic: Didn’t Mean It, Geralt/Jaskier, NC-17 (5/5)
Title: Didn’t Mean It (5/5) Fandom: The Witcher Pairing: Geralt/Jaskier Rating: NC-17
Summary: “You… love me as a friend.”
It’s perfectly flat. Not a hint of what he’s thinking.
Squeezing his eyes shut, Jaskier bows his head, sucks in a breath, and prays to any god that’s listening.
“Yes,” he says. “And I’m sorry I… complicated things. It won’t happen again.”
Jaskier blurts out something he shouldn’t have, and then proceeds to make things so much worse.
Didn’t Mean It (5/5)

A week had passed since Jaskier vanished, and Geralt received an unexpected notice. It turned out that Jaskier had drafted a document that outlined his wishes in case of an emergency. According to this document, if anything were to happen to Jaskier, all his possessions would go to Geralt—including his lute and a bank account with a surprisingly hefty sum of coins.
However, the most startling part was that the document also conferred upon Geralt a new title. Suddenly, Geralt found himself as the Viscount of Lettenhove.
Now Geralt must navigate the unexpected responsibilities of his newfound title while also piecing together the mystery of Jaskier's disappearance.

Geralt: Do you remember that hoodie I let you borrow? Jaskier: The black one? Geralt: Correct. Jaskier: I do remember it. Geralt: Okay, I want it back. Jaskier: Geralt: Give me my hoodie back. Jaskier: Why do you need it? Geralt: What?? Jaskier: Why do you need your hoodie back??

Hey uh I’m super like, Astonished and very happy rn. I just discovered your Witcher/Tenacious D post and I’ve been saying this same thing for a while now and I actually put a lot of those songs on my Jaskier playlist. You have no idea how happy you have made me. Thank you
Tumblr media
For the curious, we're talking about this post I made way back.
That is so flattering!! Always happy to hear when my work has made someone's day <3 It's so funny how Tenacious D just has that Jaskier energy XD
On a side note: @freckledsaint and I watched The Hexer (Polish Witcher movie) and we LOVED how they portrayed Dandelion and Geralt as besties and now wished we could've had that in the Netflix series (unless they are planning that to happen in later season??).
Anyway, enjoy a quick sketch of Geralt and Jaskier! I now live in The Hexer Universe where they are besties being silly and doing crimes and not abandoning each other.

I’m two episodes into the Witcher season 3 and Jasker is so explicitly undeniably in love with Geralt that it hurts
But it looks like it’ll end in Geralt x Yennefer so I’ll just be sad about it

Lambert being jealous that Geralt has Jaskier following him to the ends of the earth and being sappy is all well and good but the flipside is infinitely funnier
Geralt being jealous that Lambert of all people has a cute cat willing to put up with him while Geralt doesn't (even though Jaskier is right there but Geralt puts all his feelings in a box and then one day he'll die) is hilarious. Bonus points if Lambert is the first one to bring a cat to kaer morhen while Geralts been pining for like a decade and now hes sulking in the corner
