[ID: a tweet from Caldwell with an illustration attached, captioned “An Underwater Interlude #NADDPod”. The illustration shows Duck Team underwater, swimming with fish among bioluminescent coral with the city of Tsunare in the distance. It colored in shades of blue, green, and purple. Sol perches on top of the egg submarine, his back to the viewer, one hand raised to wave at Calder as he grins. He’s wearing track shorts and a tanktop with a reddish purple scarf, and has a ring on one of his fingers. Out in the water, Calder is waving back, wearing a wetsuit with a bubble helmet. An anglerfish swims near him, and a pair of smaller fish with glowing purple eyes swim towards him. Callie is diving below him, also in a wetsuit, and smiling at a pair of small fish that are floating by some glowing coral. The open sea in the background is streaked with lines like currents, and small lights float through the water.]

New Caldwell art… they look so happy…

Will never forget the time I booked a tarot/astrology reading at a metaphysical store for funsies and the reader gave my ex a bizarrely accurate reading down to the amount of peopl she lived with and the specific issues she was dealing with wrt her family back then and then I walked in for my own reading and she proceeded to 1. Look me up and down and accurately guess my astrological sign and 2. tell me I needed to break up with my ex girlfriend and she was stifling my creativity and I was meant to create great things but I never would until i wasn’t with her anymore and I was like O_O

it’s nearly impossible to keep up with the catastrophes befalling Gaza because of the evil of Zionist aggression like white phosphorus on residential areas, ambulances getting bombed at al shifa hospital while it was transporting wounded Palestinians to Rafah, now it’s the schools near the Indonesian hospital that are getting attacked, Al Quds hospital also just got targeted, all within the same couple of hours. a ceasefire has never seemed so far away.

Obsessed with the idea of Extraordinary Things being a back and forth between Jaskier and Radovid, with Jaskier trying to draw him out in the first verse, and Radovid finally answering him in the second.

Cause like, with Radovid, Jaskier meets someone who he can't fully read properly. He knows there's something under the front of a drunken, bumbling prince, but he doesn't know him well enough yet to be certain as to what.

So, he tests the waters a bit. throws out a line to see if Radovid will take it—and he does. A little bit. But it's so interesting to me, because it doesn't just feel like Jaskier is trying to nail down Radovid's truth in this verse; it feels like he's injecting elements of his own mask into it, as well.

"Keep your words on ice, your gaze lights the fire. They say 'keep on playing nice,' but I have no desire. Why waste our words when lips were made for extraordinary things? It's not a want, it's a need, it is paying no heed to what others say to sing."

This is Jaskier's read of Radovid as he knows him so far: a man hiding more complex wants beneath the veneer of a drunken party boy. But it's also Jaskier admitting that he knows this about Radovid because he wears the exact same mask himself.

Much like how Jaskier and Ciri speak through Geralt and Yennefer in order to process their own feelings about them later in the season, Jaskier sings through himself in order to comprehend who Radovid is. Jaskier is using the performative persona he's crafted for himself in an attempt to coax Radovid out of his.

All of it leads into the main intention of this song: "The greatest songs are made up of unspoken words of love. Of them, I've had enough. with you, I am enough." I am tired of having to put up a front. I want to be understood. I think you understand me. Prove me right.

And Radovid sees what Jaskier is doing. He comments on Jaskier's ability to see people for who they are and not who they pretend to be. But there's still more he wants to understand. This still feels like a game, in a way.

It's only after Radovid sees the brutality of Dijkstra and Philippa up close, watches them orchestrate the assassination of the queen and threaten to incriminate him if he doesn't fall in line, that he then grasps the vulnerability in Jaskier's lyrics. Jaskier is also caught between multiple conflicting desires, that of his loyalty to Geralt/Yen/Ciri, and that of his work as the Sandpiper & how said work is backed by his continued commitment to Redanian Intelligence. That internal conflict and the desire to escape it is also highlighted in the song's first verse ("they say keep on playing nice, but i have no desire"). Only after all of this, when true fear begins to take over and the game stops being fun, does Radovid truly begin to truly understand Jaskier.

And so, he seeks him out. And he responds.

“Drop the sweet disguise, your heart’s beating too loud. The fairytales and little lies can’t drown out all the sound.” You were right. I do understand you. I know what you really want, because we're the same. You can’t hide it behind a façade of a song and a story and a persona.

“Take this heart and break this heart for extraordinary things.” I don't know what will become of this, or us. I still don't fully know if we can trust each other. But no one has ever seen me in the way that you have.

It's not a want, it's a need. With you, I am enough.
