*looking respectfully* 

[CLENCHES FIST] HRNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGHHHHHH. YOU KNOW WHAT ABOUT BLOOD ORIGIN MAKES ME SO FUCKING EXCITED????? THEY GAVE JASKIER A POINT.

BEFORE, he was essentially just comic relief. he was just a side character they would use to nudge geralt or yennefer in the right directions. direct geralt to cintra, to his child surprise, to yennefer. direct yennefer off of the ship, to the deathless mother, towards ciri and geralt.

yeah, he was the sandpiper- he saved hundreds of elves, he became a fighter for freedom- but thats just a side plot. theres no elaboration on the situation past his scenes with yennefer. no focus. no more information.

but THIS? blood origin? they gave him importance.

he knows stories that no one else on the entire continent remembers. he has the power to inspire the common person to fight against their oppressors. he can give hope to all the people who are beaten down and hopeless. excuse me if im jumping to extremes, but he can change the fucking world.

on a slightly smaller scale, he knows history that likely no one else does. he knows about the creation of the very first witcher. he knows how and why the conjunction of the spheres happened. i dont know how much of it is known in canon, or how accurate the records are in universe, but jaskier has a written first hand experience. he doesnt know all of the scientific details of the development and creation of the potions given for the mutations, but he knows why they were given. he knows how the first ever witcher reacted to the rudimentary toxins, how they changed his body, how they empowered him. he knows the name of the first witcher. he knows his story. he knows who he was, what he did, and how he went out. he knows about how he met his lover, how they met, how they fell in love, her importance to not only fjall, but to the rest of the world. to lowborn elves, to dwarves, to everyone that needed the hope she gave.

jaskier knows so much. he can spread so much knowledge. he can give so much hope. hes so fucking important. and the show cant fucking ignore that anymore! he cant be pushed away as just some comic relief bard. hes essential to the future of the continent. hes needed.

jaskier: you and i are destined to be together

geralt: ???

jaskier: let me tell you the story of eile and fjall

the look on Jaskier's face when he sees his lute again though 🥺

diversity win! the king of the wild hunt is gay!

The Witcher Blood Origin s01e03: “I’m so sorry.”

⚠️The Witcher Blood Origin Spoilers⚠️

"Would you f**k your own clone?"

They really put this joke in here 🤣

(Also, did they just give us a bisexual Jaskier???? Did they just make it canon???)

On one hand I’m mad that her girlfriend is fridged, on the other I can’t say no to weed smoking hammer wielding lesbian dwarf

the witcher blood origin was GOOD!!! pacing was wayyyyy too fast to fully flesh out everything and the dialogue was iffy sometimes but man did i have a blast these last 4 hours! and meldof my beloved <3

Possibly unpopular opinion

I absolutely hated that end credit scene with Ciri. The way they did it in the show was already brilliant with Geralt disappearing right before she sees him. It brings in their ties of destiny with them kind of sensing each other and it’s just a really good scene in an already great season.

And then you bring in a time traveling elf mage. It just doesn’t work.

me watching the first episode of the witcher blood origins: oh this is fun!

me as the episode continues to name drop characters and i realize that the blond guy is eredin, future king of the wild hunt: hey what the fuck

silly little bard with a silly little hat. 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH. IM NOT OVER IT. A BIRD BARD AND A WOLF WITCHER. THE LIMITLESS PARALLELS BETWEEN THE PAIRS. IM GOING TO GO INSANE!!!!!! IM GOING TO LOSE IT!!!!! IM GOING TO LOSE ALL OF MY MARBLES!!!!!!!!!! GONNA GO FERAL!!!!!!!!! I CANNOT FUCKING CONTAIN MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

in a way jaskier wrote the hetero version of him and geralt like a fan fic

Meldof, covered in blood: don't worry love
