Geraskier fans who only watched Netflix show usually write their dynamic as chaotic diva girlfriend Jaskier and suffering boyfriend Geralt trying to find right answer to trap questions archetypes.
Come here. Closer. Even closer. Now listen, I’m about to blow your mind
In the books, their dynamic, it’s the opposite. If that ship was written in books, it’s Geralt who would ask stuff like “would you love me if I was a worm” and get mad at Jaskier over conversations that didn’t happen but Geralt imagined them anyway and got upset. Jaskier would bribe him with sweets before apologizing even though he has absolutely no idea what he did wrong.
No, that witcher isn’t brooding in the corner while the bard is performing. That witcher is choosing one of thousand ways to accuse the bard of trying to attract other witchers. Why? Because new lute strings. Who are you trying to attract with that shine? So what if there aren’t any other witchers for miles? How do you know that anyway, did you specifically check if they are here? I’m not enough for you?
I find it abso-fucking-lutely hilarious. Because from outsider perspective they still would seem exactly as netflix-based version of this ship is written
i keep seeing things about people being upset at how long production of season 5 stranger things is taking and it just. it feels like nobody who is complaining understands how long a show can take? writing alone with editing to make sure it’s up to par can take a while if they are not working around the clock (see: a writers strike that the whole industry took part in because they are unionized and if they were working on a script then they would have been Scabs) and then on top of that having to get time for actors who might be booked and busy since they also need to work on projects (see: why euphoria is taking forever to film since they have a lot of in-demand actors who need to all have schedules free at the same time) and THEN having to work around Covid restrictions before that (because people were in fact dying severely which I think people don’t think about any more since it isn’t taken as seriously)
not to mention I’m not sure if they were greenlit for the the season prior to the season filming. Like I know some shows used to get greenlit for x amount of seasons and now at least I think because of the stink with Firefly (getting aired weirdly and then canceled mid season) we at least get a full season At Least before any show gets canceled (and Netflix has been know to just cancel shows anyway at seemingly random)
tl;dr I’m fed up with people not understanding it takes a while to make good creative content and it’s making me want to stay off the internet for a while.
okay but i’m laughing about the idea of jaskier surviving an encounter with a sphynx PURELY by arguing that he is NOT wrong
putting that college degree to WORK arguing
it’s not even about saving his life after a certain point
it’s PURELY about winning for the principle of the thing
geralt shows up after SPRINTING there only to find the sphynx pounding her head against the ground BEGGING jaskier to stop. fine. FINE. it’s a draw!! okay!! she can see your perspective!! fine!! she’ll call it a truce!!
meanwhile jaskier gets hauled over geralt’s shoulder and is shouting as he’s carried away because anD ANOTHER THING-
the emotion damage of reading the first book of svsss and then when you go to borrow the second book from the online library they only have the first book so you cry and read the other mxtx series that the library has in full
