A little warmup of Kell Maresh, because I’m 130 pages into The Fragile Threads of Power and have already cried over him twice

#kell maresh #a darker shade of magic #the fragile threads of power

If Geralt’s heartbeat is slower than a human’s then in turn his breathing must be as well, therefore I strongly believe that this has happened before early on in him and Jaskier’s adventures:

Geralt, snapping awake: What is it?!

Jaskier, still shaking him by the shoulders: WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN “WHAT IS IT”?! YOU WEREN’T FUCKING BREATHING!!!

I love how dramatic Jaskier is like

"I've also survived no thanks to you"

"Joey is one of the funniest men I’ve met. He’s also just so intelligent, and he’s such an amazing friend. He’s just great, he touches your heart whenever you meet him." - Anya Chalotra

"It's very easy to be friends with Anya, she's the nicest person in the world. I don't know anyone who could possibly not be friends with her, she's just a good egg and she's such a delightfully open human being." - Joey Batey

That's not the point I was making and you're being a bit condescending with this reblog.

Please re read what you just rebloged. It's about the constant way this fandom likes to spread misinformation about what's going on behind the camera. Not how Joey played it or how the fandom perceived the character previously.

I've once again seen a post on my dash about how Joey had to "fight" for Jaskier being queer this season.

I didn't reblog it cause I don't want to target one post in particular but people who make those posts need to understand this is factually wrong and just keep the hate towards Lauren growing for no reason.

It was Lauren who approached him. Joey said so himself. He praised her in many interviews for going that road. He worked with her on making sure it was done right, his words again (he seems quite aware of LGBTQA+ culture and maybe his sensibilities are a bit more "up to date" than the average straight person. If Lauren and most of the writers are straight, it seems logical for them to struggle to make it not cliché and for Joey to help make it something the community would like more, but that is just my theory).

But he never said he had to fight for it as much as people say he did, on the contrary. He said in at least one interview that it was very collaborative. From what I understand in some of his interviews he possibly wanted more control over Jaskier's journey this season but he certainly didn't have to fight for it. People seem to have gotten that idea from Joey's "essay" but at no point did he say it was to fix what they did. He obviously had an idea of what he wanted to do and asked for re writes and cuts in the dialogue to add more music. Every interview where he mentions this he pretty much says he was helping and collaborating with the writers. This sounds pretty normal to me as every actor on this show (Henry in particular) seems to be allowed to participate with the writing of their own character.

I know most of the fandom loves to believe all the good parts come from the actors and all the bad ideas come from Lauren (she obviously hasn't always made good choices and I'm not excusing her for the mess season 2 was) but this is just deforming what Joey actually said and taking some of the credit away from other people.

I love that Jaskier is pan. It's one of my favourite parts of the season. But it was not just Joey's idea it was Lauren's as well. Credit where credit's due. She's not as bad as the fandom makes her to be and she's a big reason why season 3 is so good. I don't love the way she try to sell the show as something never seen before because it still is mostly adapted from the books but nobody can argue when it comes to Jaskier that she made him a lot better than Dandelion (who I love to death but he's a little shit and I think Jaskier is a much more interesting character).

#also jaskier isn't bi #he's sapiosexual
