ok FINALLY finished the witcher
#its hard for me to watch shows with episodes longer than 20 minutes#quick rant: yennefer is the most interesting character. and i like how a theme of the show is that like. everyone is bound by destiny but#ultimately it is their choices that effect their overall quality of life???#like i noticed it particularly with geralt's scene with jaskier on the mountain when he was blaming jaskier for all the shit that went wrong#in his life at that point and i was like#'hmm....no??? no those were definitely choices you made and said yes to several times'#same with yennefer and the whole thing about how shes still unhappy with her life because she was trying so hard to be powerful#like she had a goal in mind and that was her destiny#but she gave everything up for it#and it made her unhappy#kinda :/ about how they made her so driven to want a baby after she had her uterus removed. like i was hoping it would be a situation where#like one of the defining traits of the infertile female character is that she is infertile#but eh i feel like i can forgive it a bit because she got mad/jealous of geralt for 'having a child' through the law of surprise#showing how she saw adoption as a viable option too#i guess she didnt like adoption tho bc like she would only be able to adopt an older kid (like babies were prob left out to die if they were#abandoned) and she prob didn't want to bring an older kid into this type of thing#idk i have a lot of Thots and also i would love a fic were jask and yen become friends after their scene with geralt on the mountain#and they just. team up against him until he apologies#also ok quick nitpit: i feel like the show focuses too much on renfri. i get it. geralt supposedly was in love with her. but like.#he knew her for like two days and then she tried to kill him. and he had to kill her. ah yes. romance.#hate how the show undervalues jaskier tho too#like i feel as though he wasn't as intersting as he could have been since they were focusing too much on like geralt's angst#like yeah geralt's a main character but this show was written to follow multiple narratives#and even side characters to the protagonists' narratives show up again and are shown to be very important to the protags (i.e. tissia to yen#and mousesack to ciri)#so like?? i wish jaskier was shown being more important to geralt#speaking of which i want the same thing for dara and ciri#damn...maybe this is supposed to be a parallel? who knows. jask and dara will show again im sure (esp jask) or else that would be really bad#writing but then like!! idk i liked the witcher but ultimately i feel like it does have some narrative issues that kinda broke immersion for#me
