For those who haven't read The Witcher, I feel the need to tell you some things...
Ciri was something around 10, I think, when she met Geralt, and was a terrible brat.
One of the first times Geralt met Ciri, he gave her a piggy back ride because she hurt her leg.
He told her a bed time story because she asked him to.
Geralt is a sarcastic bastard, especially with Ciri.
Ciri led Geralt by the hand when he had to be blindfolded while walking through Brokilon forest by the Dryads.
Ciri would cling to Geralt's thigh when she was frightened.
Geralt would cuddle Ciri so that she could fall asleep, and she would reach out to him as she slept.
There were hugs, and I think all of them were initiated by Geralt himself because he could see that Ciri was frightened or he was just very happy to see her.
Stay tuned for more...

A comment I see a lot is that Jaskier’s outfits have gotten worse over the seasons, but not when you think about their relation to his character growth. Here’s a look at Jaskier’s outfits across the seasons of The Witcher.
Season one: his outfits change frequently and each is as boldly coloured and extravagant as the next. They’re detailed but also have an air of royalty to their design, with puffed sleeves, high collar, high waistline of the pants, and a slim-fit around the waist.

This is because he’s just starting out as a bard; he is still used to being a viscount, used having money and living in luxury.
Then in season two, we get the Sandpiper outfit, one outfit that is durable and layered so that it can be adjusted to suit different climates. It’s more practical but less detailed which makes it easier for him to blend in with normal people (which benefits his cause). At this point, Jaskier is more established as a bard and now pays for himself or scrounges money and uses it to help people in need, so there’s less fancy clothing or materialistic spending. His vest has a pattern to it that calls back to season one but it’s dull, faded and stained.

But what’s more, his hair is unkempt and his clothes are blood soaked and stained, a visual representation of his mental downfall since the end of season one when he and Geralt had a falling out.
And now, in the previews of season three, his hair is groomed/neat, his clothes are still the Sandpiper outfit but with a floral shirt and a detailed, open-breasted vest that calls back to the patterns and intricacies of his outfits in season one. He’s found a balance between simplicity and the elegance he was used to. He’s more comfortable in himself and has found a balance between who he was (a viscount who knew money and luxury) and who he wanted to be (the Sandpiper; someone who helps others).

Another detail is his collars.
In season one, he wears high collars that cover his chest and neck, suggesting he’s shut off and defensive or uncomfortable in his surroundings.
In season two, his collars stick up but his chest and neck are bare, suggesting he still has his defences up but he’s been laid bare emotionally and psychologically.
Finally, on season three, his collars lay flat, his shirt is unbuttoned and his vest has a wide lapel, suggesting he’s comfortable, open, and isn’t scared of being vulnerable.
That’s just my thoughts on the matter. And while I would love to see Jaskier in outfits like the ones in season one, I also like the other outfits and how they reflect him.

I always find it funny when Kaer Morhen witchers call each other wolf. It's like calling your sibling by your shared last name.

I know we all think of Burn Butcher Burn as THEE breakup song, but I’d like to turn everyone’s attention back to Her Sweet Kiss for a minute. It tends to get overlooked compared to the other in-universe songs, mostly because the final version was never technically diagetic. But it plays over the 1x06 credits, and we’re clearly supposed to understand it as having been written immediately post-mountain.
If you remember, Jaskier was working on this portion of the lyrics at the very beginning of the episode:
“I’m weak, my love, and I am wanting / If this is the path I must trudge / I’ll welcome my sentence / Give to you my penance / (Gorgeous) garotter, jury and judge.”
He wrote this before Geralt ever sent him away, and it becomes all the more heartbreaking in hindsight when you realize what it means in that context. This is Jaskier accepting that Geralt will never love him back. He’s too weak to do the harder thing and just leave, but he accepts that his feelings will never be returned because to him, being with Geralt in any capacity is worth the punishment of unrequited love. Supporting him in whatever way Geralt will accept is his penance.
And then Geralt blames Jaskier for all his problems and banishes him from his life. The lyrics are worked into a song all about Yennefer, a warning to Geralt about the dangers of being in a relationship with her. The original lines remain exactly the same (except that, tellingly, “Gorgeous” is removed), but the context shifts. The path Jaskier must trudge is now a lonely one, the punishment worse than ever. He feels he deserves to do penance for the crime of his unreturned feelings and sees himself as a burden and an annoyance for having them because Geralt just told him that’s what he is. He’s lost the one thing that made all that pain worth it, but now he’s too weak to do the harder thing and fight to stay with Geralt. Jaskier won’t protest Geralt’s cruel and unfair treatment of him because he knows (thinks) he’s already lost him to Yennefer forever. Burn Butcher Burn is full of rage, but in the immediate aftermath there’s no anger, only heartbreak.
Which only makes Jaskier’s relationship with Yennefer in Season 2 all the more interesting. This is the woman he thinks he lost his love to, and only months ago he wrote a whole song begging Geralt to stay the fuck away from her. There’s a deep bitterness when they first meet that is only slightly masked by Jaskier’s usual humour, but as soon as he realizes the danger she’s in, his first instinct is to help her and protect her. The camaraderie they find in their mutual fallings out with Geralt, and the softness initiated by Yennefer being a hugger, is really special to watch.
I don’t really know where I’m going with this other than that Jaskier is a gem and he doesn’t deserve to be shit on by the narrative the way he has been.

“There's a small connection between Jaskier and Yennefer that's blossoming, blooming. I think they're, you know, still mortal frenemies but... but it means we get to see a more vulnerable side to Jaskier. A Jaskier that is leaving his ego at the door in order to open himself up to new people and let people in.”
— Joey Batey.
“Anya and I have been begging for scenes together since since we met in Season 1. We're good pals and I'm a huge fan of hers and her talent, she's just an amazing actress and we've been sort of asking Lauren, 'please can we have a little bit more, a little bit more,' because it is really fun to play that sort of, you know, surface level hatred but a growing and developing fondness. You start to find little nuances and sentences that fully-conscious Joey might not have been able to do, and it becomes freer, it becomes more intimate. They're both trying to work out who they are and how they fit into this Continent that is changing so rapidly, and exploring that in Season 2 and beyond it's going to be something that I think brings more texture to the characters, and makes them more complex, and hopefully more interesting to watch.”
— Joey Batey on Yennefer and Jaskier scenes.
“They [Jaskier and Yennefer] really complement each other well, I think. You [Joey Batey] really do attack the worst, the heart… the most emotional points to Yennefer.”
— Anya Chalotra.

Jaskier has this amazing ability to be the least bloodstained, least magical and least dangerous person in the room and yet still be the most dramatic.
