joey batey really is the atlas holding up the world on his back of the witcher netflix show not only is he indisputably the best actor/character in the series but he wrote a genuinely iconic breakup song and practically canonized his character's bisexuality in the process

I've always thought as Jaskier from The Witcher to be smart but doesn't show it cause he grew up knowing that if you show it that you will have more expectations and therefore more attention from his father which he really didn't want.
So I always liked to think that he was pretending to sleep with loads of women when really he was making a network to help out his witcher. (Some of them most likely were one night stands, but I think the mass majority would be for his network), which helps him later on with being the Sandpiper. Personal I have a concept fic on its way for this, though it needs more plotting and more research.
But I always loved smart/competent Jaskier cause the guy has a long list of majors of the 7 Liberal arts. He's not stupid. He just doesn't show it.

Netflix writers making Jaskier a minuscule percent elf, probably to cover the fact he called himself “other”: that’ll stop them trying to insist the bard is queer constantly!
Joey Batey, out here doing the Lord’s work as usual: Oh, two Jaskier’s in a room would absolutely bend each other over the bar and fuck themselves silly.

Okay I just finished another chapter in Time of Contempt, and I have a couple thoughts.
First of all, I appreciate the small bouts of Humor that Andrzej Has speckled throughout the serious scenes, it gives me a break from the overall drastic nature of it
Secondly, tissaia.
I cant choose wether I like show tissaia or Book Tissaia more. They are both VERY similar, And I appreciate both of them but oh my god the spell of Last resort scene in the book was just, Haunting.
The moment where Triss was screaming at her to stop, and Tissaia only pausing to help triss get away gets to me. She tells Triss that even though she made a mistake she still loves her, and that makes me unbelievably emotional. Her interactions with phillipa as well? Im obsessed.
“I was proud of you phillipa, but now I am filled with nothing but contempt for you.” Chills. Literal chills.
I definitely like that We got to see more of Tissaia and Phil in the books than the show. In the show they just kind of trade a couple snarky remarks and glare at eachother but in the books there is genuine Regret and hatred from Tissaia and Anger and defiance from Phillipa thats just- so interesting to read about.
Im also almost glad that Tissaia ends up dying because I know if she survived Geralt probably would have screwed her at some point.

Got my first hate comment on a fanfic post on Instagram, what a loser 😂
That's one of the guys who spam every single The Witcher Netflix Instagram posts with their hate. Obviously no positive hobbies, no friends and in dire need of therapy, poor guy.

i've been thinking that about joey batey since s1 omg like anya does a great job too but i just feel like joey adds that sumn sumn that is the show's redeeming factor...and he's not even in every ep lol
yeah!!! anya chalotra is also excellent at playing yennefer, i think she really understands the character well whilst also lending her own personal interpretation to the role, which is the ideal for a portrayal of a fictional character in an adaptation of the source material in my opinion. they shoulder the burden of that show together and i'm so glad they got to hang out onscreen in season 2, they were by far the most redeeming quality of that mess.

Geralt: Just because I saved you doesn't mean I care about you
