CARRY ON COUNTDOWN DAY 2: Alternative universe!
I did a Romeo and Juliette au bc i could. And im very happy that i did.
This drawing feels very special to me for several reasons:
1: im proud of it.
2: this took me 17 hours of working nonstop for basically three days
3: it has filled me with incredible joy to have created this, therefore it must be special
I dont post on here a lot but i feel like a special drawing deserves an excpetion.. also most of the carry on fandom is here and not my main social media which is instagram soo..
Yeet i guess. Ive kind of run out of words after the incredible wordvommit i spilled on ig. It literally told me that my caption was too long😅
@carryon-countdown
OH! Almost forgot. This is the painting its heavily inspired from:

I'm watching the Witcher! I have thoughts but I don't want to liveblog by spamming my blog with single posts so I'm just updating this one as i go. We good? Good.
Don't read this if you haven't watched it obviously because A spoilers duh and B it is pretty much incomprehensible if you haven't (and probably also if you have lol)
I've watched 8/8 episodes
Ep 1:
And right into action we jump! Nice
Ok. Killing a monster and a helpless injured animal in the first scene, it's that kind of show.
Fun bantz with daughter and dad i presume, love that
Bombarded with exposition. What's happening?
Lots of grey morality. Like it.
Very mirrory, that eclipse girl and the wizard. Who's right who's wrong? Who knows, Im sure we'll lose either way.
Really good clothing and set design!
The soundtrack is banger after another just very very good
I knew I find manbuns and half up half down hair very sexy but man if Geralt and that wizard guy from the royal storyline don't remind me of it, thank you for your service!
The fight choreography where geralt takes those men is superb and camerawork supports it in a way that's its actually possible to follow and enjoyable to watch, great job!
Hmm okay so seems like timelines are a bit fucky, princess scenes after geralt scenes
"I love you" "find Geralt of Rivia" OUCH
Good scenes but oh man i wouldn't want my rulers to just kill themselves during an attack yikes
Not to say that those suicides make me excited and confused but well i am definitely confused and excited for the princess storyline and what the heck those nilfgard (sp?) folks want.
Ep 2.:
Poor girl. (i wonder if thats makeup or if they actually cast an actress that looks like that, which would be v good)
So weird eye colours mean stuff?
Rat boy?
YES WE MET BARD BOY! Predictably I'm in love already. What a good first interaction
*Chanting* shrek dynamic shrek dynAMIC SHREK DYNAMIC!!!
I'm wheezing they really brought onions into this 👀
Thank the makers for not showing graphic self harm scenes 🙏
Powerful magic woman giving a monologue about chaos and magic? Hnnnggg
"Here i go again delivering exposition" *snort*
Hmm. What's the issue with the races? Elves etc i mean. And what's up with the guy wjo had to give "Fiona" shoes? He's one of the "clean ones"? Oof
Poor Yennefer.
Another good speech from powerful magic woman
Count on the bard to bring the laughs. And oof those elves, theres obviously some tension there.
Being Not human not another race but a Witcher does have its perks in talks with elves.
Things like "the great cleansing" worry me
There are three plots going on rn (i think theyre at the same time by now) and my priorities are 1. Geralt 2. Yennefer and 3. Fiona though 2. And 3. Is very close.
Hands down the most unrealistic thing is how everyone can repeat that language perfectly from having heard it once.
Yennefer is a half elven?
Huh. A game of marionettes and masters. The wizard controls the boy, the magician controld the girl.
Sidenote, the magic system of channeling chaos into magic and newtons 3rd law is metal and i love it
Eels, huh? Interesting.
So taking stock we have Bard (Human) & Geralt (Witcher), Yennefer (Half elf) and Humans, and Ciri (Human) & Dara (Elf).
First two episodes are over and I'm hooked. Excuse me while I go listen to "Toss a coin to your Witcher" on repeat a few hundred times now.
Ep 3
Here we gooooo
I watched half of it on a train and was too engrossed to write about
Fuck it up Yennefer!
Boob window!
Ok wait so wait wait wait is Yennefer still a Timeline before geralt?
Oh man beauty is a difficult concept
I miss the bard
Ep 4
What's that warrior women tribe and why did the forest call ciri?
I've had the bard for a day but if anything hapoens to him I'll kille everyone in this room and then myself
I love how his song has taken off!
Fuck yeah sidequest!
If i were to describe everything i loved about that scene id have to transcribe it whole
Timelines are fuckin... Fucky
Oh now we'll find out why grandmother wanted ciri to get geralt. Guess he made an impression
Damn she's so metal
Oh btw we love when media passes the bechdel test
Aww Yennefer.
Hmm.
That has to be a gambit
Ok i just read up on the law of surprise, and like to almosr everything in this ep my reaction is "metal af"
WHAT THE FUUUUUCK
Ep 5
Are you making a humunculus?
Doppler!???!?
Oh no poor wizard man
Oh Fremdscham alter Freund
These German accents oof
Oh Yennefer
Ragamuffin LOL
Jaskier huh? Nice name
Well fuck
Right. Good.
Make him drink the water! The doppler doesn't have good intentions
Also i really hope ciri isn't promised to geralt by the law of surprise in a yucky way
I love how lust and sex is handled here
"Flora and (yikes) Fauna" oh jaskier every word out of your mouth is peak comedy
Oof that guy Yennefer is traveling with
I bet they're gonna end up being a team anyways, i mean our main characters. Some how the others will perish.
Oh doppler you're so dumb
Witcher good ending: Geralt & Yennefer make a life with Ciri (I'm sure 1. fics are being written as we speak & 2. It wont happen)
Oh man that route
There's so much suicide and suicidal ideation in this it's crazy
And: called it!
There are so many insanely good quotes
"it's hard to regret something you didn't chose" yeah
Yennefer! Don't sleep with makeup
Uh
You forgot jaskier!
Yeah the hints were there. Blorchs fancy jacket...
Why does nothing good ever last. Yennefer and Geralt are so good together
And poor jaskier
We really in it now, Ariana
Ep 7
Wow calanthe you should know by now that these foul tricks don't work
Man, geralt cant catch a break
He's such a nerd
Harsh teachers get a lot of mileage out of "You're my best student"
... And that's why it's so easily used against their students.
Fuck i really care for these characters. Especially geralt, Yennefer and jaskier.
Yennefer just wanted to send sad girls on the drug trip of their lives and they're just... Hmm.
Ideology is so dangerous when it makes sense to you
And to think, geralt was right there under cintra
Well that was... Hmm
Ep 8
We haven't seen elves in a long time
Uh... No?
I dont accept geralt dying like that and at that time
OH HELL YEAH THAT INTRO ANIMATION
There's nothing
Of everything thats happened so far, the magic, the hotness, etc etc, i feel like my biggest fantasy brought to the screen in the witcher is a powerful teacher appreciating and spending time with a former student.
(*Tissania waving a glass of ale at Yennefer* me: god i wish that were me)
Ok but what's happening with geralt?
Who is vesemir
All those magic scenes are so good
Oof they just keep missing each other
Are they gonna meet in the last scene?
... They did. In the last scene.
Colour me interested in season 2! Off to tvtropes i guess and the tumblr tag.
