laura’s endless list of favourites ● ships ➼ geralt of rivia & jaskier “No. It’s Dandelion this time, your fellow. That idler, parasite and good-for-nothing, that priest of art, the bright-shining star of the ballad and love poem. As usual he’s radiant with fame, puffed up like a pig’s bladder and stinking of beer. Do you want to see him?” “Of course. He’s my friend, after all.”

I feel like people don't appreciate enough that Dandelion is a fast slippery little fucker. Granted we don't see this much since the books are heavily Geralt POV, but it's mentioned that a lot of his dalliances involve him scaling up houses, jumping out of windows, sliding down drainpipes, running along rooftops etc and that is hard as fuck to do

He's basically committing AssCreed level parkour and is able to outrun almost anyone who comes after him. When he's not travelling with Geralt, he has to be able to get out of trouble by himself somehow and since he's not a fighter that means being good at running, hiding and talking

Not only this but in Last Wish, as someone pointed out on my posts once, it's shown that when riding his horse, he can effortlessly lift one leg to hook over the pommel of his saddle while playing his lute at the same time the horse is moving. That's a lot of skill and balance and knowing your own horse's temperment and what they're willing to put up with. He's not just a casual rider he's an experienced rider pulling off shit that you'd only see from pros

Idk man it's just a little irritating how often he's reduced to "horny silly bard" when he has these skills under his belt too and is obviously capable of keeping up with hunting parties and actual warriors without much issue ya know?

#there was a post out there about how jaskier is insanely competent but since he spends his time around witchers and witches #he comes across as silly and bumbling #but within a group of regular non magicky humans he will stand out.

ANYA CHALOTRA at the Witcher Season 4 table read

I've just gotta say...

The fact that Joey is the only actor we see near the entrance of the room just waving some people around and throwing kisses - more focused on greeting a "larger audience" than individually greeting his co-stars - is the most Jaskier thing ever!

Joey definitely picked Jaskier up on the side of the road on his way there, 'cause his inner bard is showing!

Seriously though, that video's focus is also like 95% on Joey/Jaskier...

So, here's Joey/Jaskier kissing and waving...

Here's Joey/Jaskier winking...

Here's Joey/Jaskier reading...

Here's Joey/Jaskier's singing and being a goof...

Hey! BTW we've got Laurence Fishburne this season, too! Yay! Big Hollywood name!

But enough of that! Here's yet more bard footage for you!

Do you see how precious that puppy of a bard is?

I mean look at him! Being all cute and bashful at being complimented/teased by his co-stars... Aww...

Oh! Right! We should probably do a Yenralt closing shot!

Joey Batey at the table reading for season 4 of Netflix's The Witcher.

It’s kinda sad that Geralt’s intelligence is often so overlooked. Geralt who speaks multiple languages. Geralt who understands maths and can call out when someone is trying to rip him off. Geralt who attended some classes at oxenfurt. Geralt who considered becoming a sorcerer. Geralt who reads and philosophises, who always thinks deeply. Geralt is smart and competent and so much more than the people around him would ever give him credit for

JOEY BATEY SPOTTED

when the amazing devil said "I'm the papercut that kills you and the priest that you ignored, i'm the touch you crave and the plans that you made, but fuck all your plans, i'm bored" and when they said "you are the son of every dressing up box, and i am time itself" and when they said "i'm the cupid of things that you just didn't get, that you struggled to say, i'm the saint of the paint that was left in the pot, i'm your angel ellipsis, your devil of dots" and when they said "i'm the heartbreak that aches far too much to be shunned, all those letters unsent, and that garden ungrown, i'm the captain of courage that you've eternally lacked, i'm the Jesus of wishing to Christ you'll come back" and when they said "i'm the face that stares back when the screen goes to black, when your mum says you look healthy but you know she means you got fat, i'm the tales that the guests will applaud and believe, i'm the child that you just didnt have time to concieve"

and literally every single time they've identified themselves as abstract concepts or the most tragic parts of everyday life. i really felt that.

Geralt loves Dandelion so much that he can’t even be angry with him, not really, not even when Dandelion fucks up and knows that he fucked up.

Dandelion loves Geralt so much that he chooses to follow him to the end of the world, in an impossible mission, one that might even get them killed.

Geralt is constantly worried that Dandelion will be killed if he keeps following him, but he is genuinely happy when Dandelion shows up in Brokilon, and he doesn’t shy away of recognizing Dandelion’s importance in his life and his beautiful voice.

Dandelion throws up when things go south and he’s caught in the middle of a fight, he is forced to see the horrors of the war, he gets wounded in battle (in his eyes, a near death experience), but still he chooses to stay by Geralt’s side.
