✨Hellooooooo ✨

Thanks a lot for it hehe :’)

My favourite otps are Geralt/Yennefer (1), Geralt/Yennefer/Jaskier (2) but especially because of the show hehe 😉 and on the same level : Geralt/Jaskier only and Geralt/Regis !

Since I’m still reading the books I don’t read any fanfic ! The incapacity to read multiples thing at the same time is huge 😭 same for games or series hehehe

I got into the fandom in 2016 when the game came ! It’s one of the first rpg game I played in my life and it was love at first sight hehe 🫢 so since then I’m obsessed with it !!

And THANK YOU SO MUCH HEHE 😭♥️ I saw your likes and reblogs hehe it means a lot !!!

He DEAD.

I have to kill Roche in my new play through :’) why is it so hard omg, it’s my 3rd time playing the game fully and it’s the first one where I plan on killing him.

I know I just could have not bring ciri to Emhyr… but I really wanted that black stallion oops 🫢

It’s too late now and letting Radovid alive is a big NO.

The Witcher books always confuse me

And not for the reason you might think.

I can always be on the "I knew this, before it was cool" train for The Witcher. Based on the fact that I just read every fantasy book that our local libraries had. And one of the book series, that was in the library, was The Witcher, as they got translated into German in the early 2000s.

It meant a lot to me at the time because of Ciri. Ciri was the first ever non-anime character, I encountered in media, who was LGBTQ*. Because, you know, representation matters.

But, at the time, there was still so much about the books that I did not get.

Again, I read them from the library, not owning them. And also knew them under the German title "Der Hexer". So, when I was a young adult and my then boyfriend started hyping this new fantasy game, I originally did not even realize from the title that it was a game based on those books I read as a teenager. Imagine my surprise, when I played that first game back then and realized: "Oh, I know those characters!"

I read the books again in 2012 and was still fairly impressed with them. But over the years - reading the books again and again - I got confused about these books. How where these books written in the early 1990s by a white man?!

Like, these books - again - have not only openly LGBTQ* characters, with one of the main characters being openly bisexual, but they also just tackle a plenthora of feminist and anti-colonialist issues within the text. And I am just sitting there: How did this got written in the 1990s, before the age of the internet? How did it get published at the time? What kinda man is Andrzej Sapkowski, that he was actually interested in writing this?

You know... I do not hate the games. They are very fun games. While I only played that first game twice, I did put hours upon hours in Witcher 2 and 3. But also... I absolutely get Sapkowski's frustration with those games. Because the games literally just do not get the books. The point with Geralt as a protagonist is, that for the most part he is just some dude. He is not some superhero type. Heck, he acquires a disability midway through the books and struggles with a ton of stuff after that. But the games ignore this as much as they ignore Triss' scars (and her self-consciousness about them). Just as they ignore a good chunk of the colonization angle of the books.

And... Really... The books are probably my favorite high fantasy book series. And quite frankly, given that a ton of folks got into the fandom through the games, the fandom is obviously full of folks, who have not really gotten access to this full picture and are very ignorant about the themes of the book series. And while I am very on the "hey, adaptions can do their own thing" train... At times I just look at the games with their sexy times side quest and think to myself: "Hmm, they kinda didn't get it, did they?"

To me it is really ironic, though. That this Polish book series from the fucking 90s manages to align with my progressive values a lot more than most books being released these days.
