Here's an idea for a fic: Jaskier is a part elf with pointy ears, but he mostly hides them from the world. During his childhood, his mother, an elf, married his father and brought him into the world before she died during childbirth. His father then married his very human stepmother, through which he could conceive his human siblings. The result was that Jaskier was the only one with pointed ears out of all of them. As a result, his ears were taught to be an embarrassment to him by his parents and everyone else around him. Eventually, as a consequence, he began to feel that he was too human to be considered an elf but not human enough to be considered a human simultaneously.
There was a time when Jaskier could make his ears look round due to the glamour contained within the ring that he lost after the mountain broke up. Therefore, Jaskier needed to grow his hair long to cover the tips of his ears with it.
It was Yennefer who first encouraged Jaskier to embrace his elf side. As a result of their shared feelings of not belonging, they became close and formed a bond.
It was Geralt, however, who did the most to get Jaskier to embrace his elf sides once he reached Kear Morhen. Brushing Jaskier hair out of his face to show Jaskier pointed ears.
Making sure to Jaskier tell Jaskier he was beautiful. No matter if he is an elf or a human.
[ID: Two digital paintings on black background of Ciri from The Witcher 3 leaping in mid-air, her sword poised to slice or stab. She snarls at something/someone offscreen. She has dramatic backlighting, and there is a gleam of light toward the tip of her sword.
She has black hair in a loose bun, a warm medium skin tone, and full-body freckles. She is dressed more practically than in the game, including knee guards and baggy leather pants. In the left painting she has short sleeves that show her biceps and in the right painting the sleeves are long and have leather bands around the upper arms.
One of the main reasons Henry Cavill stepped out of the role of Geralt was because the writers didn't follow through on the book.
Henry has read all the books and played all the games, the guy is literally a fan of The Witcher series and had to fight several times to get the content adapted in the right way
How long will it take for writers and producers to understand that an adaptation has to be faithful to the content it is adapting?
Some innovation is nice, but you can't just change a character or story completely because it suits you.
I'm sad for The Witcher series, they lost the most faithful representation of Geralt, but I'm proud of Henry's courage. I hope that the writers and producers of the next series of any adaptation get the message
"We have witnessed - and, in fact, on several occasions incited - many great and weighty events. After all that toil, i belive we deserve a bit of a rest."
Geralt presses a brimmed goblet of wine into Letho's hand, and follows his eyes into the fields where two young witchers, younger even than Lambert, are snoozing.
Letho's always been a man of few words, difficult to predict and read, and that hasn't changed since his arrival at Corvo Bianco, so Geralt asks in some vain hope that any lingering doubts might come to the fore, "Any regrets?"
Letho tilts his head as the two snoozing vipers begin to wrestle gleefully in the sun, and answers before he takes a sip, "Not one."
