it really feels like the twn writers read geraskier fics because there's too many fanon things that ended up in s3: Bi Jaskier, Geralt communicating his feelings and thanking him, "Jask", people recognising Jaskier not only as a bard but as a viscount and being in awe of him, his proven competence, etc. Maybe they finally realised we don't like him being the butt of the joke and the comic relief, maybe my expectations for this season were so low that I was pleasantly surprised, but I don't believe in coincidences. The conversations were just too good for the writers to not have sought inspiration elsewhere. We know some of them hate the books and there's fics out there that are masterpieces, I wouldn't be surprised.
