Pfff Jaskier, you don't believe it yourself that your relationship with Geralt is only platonic. Stop fooling yourself.
Nice abs btw. Joey Batey you are amazing!
Poor fake Ciri…
Visenna is death? Geralt is crying? His childhood story made me cry 😭
Also, Giancardi and Fabio Sachs. Another scene straight from the books!
Good boy Jaskier, telling Geralt that Redania wants Ciri. And he knows something about Radovid is fishy…
If I was Ciri I would have fled as well. Gods those mages are snobbish and arrogant.
So… Istredd is working for Nilfgaard? Why a, I not surprised?
Remember r last post when I was saying I ship Cahir and Gallatin? Well it sunk before it even started… rip.
Redania is madness but I like it…
Woah the Wild Hunt!!!
I repeat: Henry Cavill deserves an oscar. Liam ah s worth will never master Geralt as he did.
Tomorrow last two episode of volume 1!

ugh I just saw a still of Valdo Marx in s3 and i am not a fan. I don't understand why they cast him anyway, he's funnier as a throwaway line.
#twn spoilers #twn critical #twn wank
no yeah like the actor looks perfectly fine to me, like, he seems like a nice enough guy! but strongly in agreement that he's way funnier as a guy who is heard of but never seen. i think making him a known quantity makes him less interesting, and confirming any character for him just kind of dries up the well, creativity-wise. i guess maybe not the fairest thing i could say, since a character doesnt and shouldnt exist simply to fuel fan reinterpretations, but that is my feeling on the matter. also unfair because i wouldnt mind a tw3 expansion where aiden came back to life and we got to meet him, but also tw3 has a better track record with inventing worthwhile characters. So. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Okay bear with me here–Dijkstra should have been Jaskier's weird crush in S3, not Radovid.
Radovid turns out to be SO awful, anybody who goes to the games after the show is going to be perplexed and sad. Radovid begins and supports a witch hunt that moves seamlessly into an attempted genocide. I'm restarting the third game because I accidentally messed up the chance to assassinate him because when he's gone the world becomes provably better. He's a monster.
They had to age him up and change his relationship with the king from son to brother, both of which mean there's no real regency and any of his ire at Philippa and Dijkstra manipulating him is going to be plainly stupid and make him a worse person in the end, because he's an adult man when he assumes the throne and he should be able to think for himself.
Jaskier's astonishment at his own feelings is weird and rushed. Maybe I'm too ace for this but I don't understand the distinction between the way he seemed to be pining over people before and the way he pines over Radovid. I feel like a more interesting choice would have been for Jaskier to get caught up in the force of personality of someone who's not traditionally pretty and swooning over him.

The Witcher S3 Ep 3: Reunion AKA 🎵Everyyyyybody Huuuuuurts🎵
I think the metaphor might be getting away from you a bit
I really like her outfit. It is my kind of look
I love that Jaskier calls him "Firefingers." It's very in line with Yen's (and my) "Firefucker." And asshole doesn't deserve a name.
Sorry did you say "a friend of your mother's"?!
Aww, the adorant whisper. Because it's once again proved that Geralt is a big old softie.
Wait, that's news? I assumed she had been for a while (tbh I thought the ditching Geralt was to protect him from something or someone that was going to kill her)
So someone else did exactly what the two information brokers said Geralt should, with added mind altering...was the suggestion meant to be a tip off, since they knew he wouldn't take it in the first place?
I really like Philippa's outfit for this meeting, and the fact that it is very clearly Not Matching the general Redanian aesthetic. The costume department this season is really Killing It. (Interestingly, it is matching, or at least similar to Jaskier's...)
He does seem stressed. His poor head is going to explode. I wonder whose fault that is?
Radovid, baby, that's not a very good attempt at hiding.
Oh it was on purpose for The Drama™ I love that
This is quite the Reason You Suck speech, Yennefer. Are you actually trying to get back into the Brotherhood's, or Tissaia's good graces at all? Part of me hopes not, honestly
Oh 💔 I mean, we knew that. But the look on Yen's face hearing it out loud...
Fabio, you're there to chaperone a teenage girl at a market, not barker like a hotdog on a street corner 🙄
How did that secret get out? Was it Yennefer? I bet it was Yennefer
I like that the captions specify it's to the tune of The Wild Rover. Otherwise I'd have heard it and gone nuts. (That song was the bane of my existence last fall.)
Istredd, my friend. You're looking Rough. But it...kinda works for you?
That's. Not ideal...
Poor General Kicked-Puppy, I'm glad he gets an invite home, even though home is not a good place...
"Prove it" doesn't sound good. There's an implied threat in "prove it"
Always with the leaning, Jaskier (and with the unbuttoned vest, it's peak casual yet slutty or maybe that's just the bard wearing it)
He's not wrong but also I hate him for saying it. I don't like that.
I think this might be the longest and most frank conversation these two have ever had. 10/10 relationship growth
Well shit. Stregobitch? Or Vilgefortz?
Uh. What?
Double "well shit". Or hopefully just almost. But I have a bad feeling about Anika's fate...
I love Ciri just strolling in behind the barker's back without paying or being challenged
Who are these two? They feel important
Go Fabio!
Can we form a secondary party of these youngins? I think I like them. And maybe recruit Dara back, eventually. (That would basically just be your average D&D party but that's not a negative)
Dammit Sabrina. Why are you a bitch? Didn't Yennefer almost die saving your fucking life from Nilfgaard?
My babies! Stop hurting each other! You both need hugs, stat!
Oh look, and now Geralt's hurting too.
Oh shit. I didn't expect the Queen to die. That's a ballsy move Philippa. But a solid way to make sure your king doesn't ever trust Nilfgaard, if it works.
Was Dijkstra in on it though? I'm not sure...
Radovid. Do NOT call a sneaky murdering bastard out on being a sneaky murdering bastard WHILE YOU ARE ALONE IN A ROOM WITH HIM! I swear to god, if you get yourself killed...(I know it doesn't happen yet, but that doesn't mean it won't later)
I don't like that almost-smile from Firefucker. Whatever his demand is, it isn't going to be fun...
Good to see Francesca getting back to her roots (and doting husband Filavandrel is pretty nice) but I have the uncomfortable feeling she'll get her wish...
You seem on edge Cahir. What are you about to do?
Well, rip. I was just starting to like that guy. But why?
Running away, completely alone. Seems like a bad plan even for Ciri, so I'm going to guess this is a dream...
Eredin? Why do I know that name? [Oh, cus I actually watched Blood Origin. I didn't think I retained anyone's name, but I guess I did]
Is Ciri's appearance and her being "death itself" a play on the whole "death came riding on a pale horse" or whatever it is? Or coincidence?
