Can we be at the end of the month already please ?

Just finished the Witcher season 2. The fucking yearning

I liked Yennefer's development and Geralt's determination. The way he's just like *growling* "Mine." When talking about Ciri. The way people react to Ciri, Geralt has to fight off people shoving adoption papers at her

Yennefer and Jaskier's relationship was pretty nice too. They care for each other but only when they gotta be serious. In the last episode I liked the hover hands after she had finished being possessed.

Jaskier became kind of useless after he and Geralt reunited. "I need you!" *hug* was nice but like. What did he need him for? He didn't do anything. Moral support? The banter and Jaskier imitating Geralt made him feel better. Guess Geralt just missed him?

The way the relationships are written. Hm. You're told "Geralt is protective of Ciri beyond the bonds of his duties and destiny" and "Ciri sees Geralt as a father figure" and "Yennefer and Geralt are in love" but like. Maybe I just missed it but it isn't really shown. I didn't catch that Ciri thought of him as "the father she never had" until she straight up said it. I thought she thought of him as "that guy I was shoved together with by destiny and now we're kinda friends. He would die for me but that's just his personality." Yennefer and Geralt's relationship took me a long time to get on board with because I thought it was just physical at first. I can't tell when they really developed an emotional connection but some time within the last 3 episodes I realized "oh shit they're yearning."

It was funny how people kept referring to Geralt and Ciri as father and daughter. I thought it was just like. Mentor? Protector? Protector who realized protecting wasn't enough so he decided to kind of sort of mentor her but really her weird uncles did most of the mentoring

Speaking of uncles, Jaskier took her to Kaer Morhen and we didn't get a single scene of them talking. No "I was there when Geralt saved your father's life and was promised a child surprise!" No "your songs taught me about the white wolf's adventures before we met" No "well ain't Yennefer and Geralt an odd pair! Wanna hear about how they met? Well actually I don't think that's a child friendly story, considering where they first saw each other" like this whole time Ciri's been curious about Geralt and he wouldn't say a thing and she gets a whole journey together with the biggest mouth on the continent who happens to have been present at all the major moments in Geralt's life since Ciri was conceived and they. Don't. Talk. Well okay yeah she was possessed at the time but not the entire time! She was possessed halfway through the journey

Sigh

Not a bad show. I enjoyed it enough to watch both seasons. Found family was nice but it could have been better (family is more than just loyalty and nearly dying together)
