I started playing The Witcher: Enhanced Edition yesterday, I haven’t gotten very far yet but I have to share this clip of Eskel (in the back)
WHY IS HE SO SASSY??? WHAT FOR??? I just started laughing when I saw it. But it got me thinking about how Eskel definitely knows how to press his brothers’ buttons, and when they were younger it definitely led to a lot of quarrels which Vesemir had to break up…
To communicate with my parents and extended family. At age 1 I started to feel a bit hungry and decided I should start speaking so that my parents would feed me.
Geralt isn't exactly good at the whole "travelling with someone thing", but he wants to learn. He wants to learn how to be good to his friend, Jaskier. Thus he starts a journal.
He writes what makes his friend happy, what makes him sad, what makes him angry, and what makes him annoyingly smell like lust. Best to avoid things that cause that.
"Flowers - likes (Prefers buttercups, but likes anything yellow in particular)
Weeds - N/A (talks himself into circles over which weeds are 'worth it')
Weeds that vaguely look like flowers - likes (dandelions can 'hardly be classified as a weed', according to him"
"Wine - Likes
Prefers red
Clingy and lazy when given Est Est (the touching was nice)
Sings a lot when given Erveluce (very nice)
Falls asleep when given Fiorano (worried he overdrank)
Talkative and gregarious when given most Toussanti Vintages (in moderation, and not when, 'Fucking living my life, Geralt')"
"Gets twitchy near nobleman who talk too loud (smells afraid. I hate that smell.)"
"Gets teary when not allowed to look at my wounds (worried i'm dying? Worried I don't trust him? Need more research.)
- Update: Both"
When the years pass and the idea of making Jaskier smell like lust gets less and less disgusting and more and more appealing, Geralt decides to study what Jaskier likes from other people who flirt with him, so that Geralt may try his best to replicate them.
Ok but why do these three and these other three have the same dynamic?
Geralt/House: Gruff man, often has stubble, avoids interacting with humans, hates emotions but feels them anyway, fills many people with fear
Yennefer/Cuddy: The female member of the trio, very sassy, the one with the common sense, extremely powerful within their field, has a will-they-won't-they with the gruff man
Jaskier/Wilson: The gruff's man best friend, is extremely attached to the man and is almost always with him but their friendship is sometimes on the rocks, hops from partner to partner (a real womanizer) but is low-key a little (or at lot) fruity
nobody should ever be punished for sexual desire/thoughts. except for me personally who should be struck by lightning, hanged, burned at the stake, drawn & quartered, and lastly shot dead
