#the witcher book 2

[kiritella]

For those who haven't read The Witcher, I feel the need to tell you some things...

Ciri was something around 10, I think, when she met Geralt, and was a terrible brat.

One of the first times Geralt met Ciri, he gave her a piggy back ride because she hurt her leg.

He told her a bed time story because she asked him to.

Geralt is a sarcastic bastard, especially with Ciri.

Ciri led Geralt by the hand when he had to be blindfolded while walking through Brokilon forest by the Dryads.

Ciri would cling to Geralt's thigh when she was frightened.

Geralt would cuddle Ciri so that she could fall asleep, and she would reach out to him as she slept.

There were hugs, and I think all of them were initiated by Geralt himself because he could see that Ciri was frightened or he was just very happy to see her.

Stay tuned for more...

"Witcher fans are some of most spoiled fantasy fans I’ve ever encountered, they have one of the greatest video games of all time, ( with more being made) really good audiobooks,comics, and audioplay with different actors, numerous role playing games based on the books, a super active fan community, do you know how many other fantasy book communities would kill to have that?

But apparently you think it all gets erased because of one bad tv show, most of us only get a bad movie or tv show, be grateful for what you have"

i get side eyeing twn for choosing radovid as the love interest but being preemptively mad about it and bringing up game radovid is a bit silly since game radovid and book radovid are two different characters and i bet show radovid is gonna be an entirely different character too. the show already made changes to his character by aging him up, prince radovid is a kid who was partly raised by philippa in the books and then gets like three mentions in lady of the lady that’s like “he would go down in history as radovid the stern” and that’s IT. everything else about his character is made up by CDPR and the show is once again not adapting the games so being mad at them for using a book character is just very ??

another thing to consider about regis adopting angoulême’s vulgar sayings for his own amusing use in conversation, is that it could also go the other way.

in the books, regis treats geralt and cahir to an, “Oho, look at what the cat dragged in,” when he reunites with them in the wilderness, and to fringilla over their argument at breakfast he echoes “There comes a time when you’ve either got to shit or free up the shithouse,” doubtless grand knowledge.

but have you considered angoulême just, when cahir tells her he wants to confront geralt about the length of their stay, but doesn’t want to draw his ire again, and at the same time is waiting for the right moment to tell him, hits him with, like, “The man who runs away from everything in fear and never endures anything becomes a coward; the man who fears nothing at all but encounters everything becomes rash.” that. from angoulême. or milva makes a comment about their ill omens concerning their leave, and angoulême responds with “Don’t let the future disturb you. We will meet it, if we have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm us against the present.” and everyone just stares at her. what the hell

Reading The Witcher Part ∞

The Witcher Book 3, or Saga Book 1: Blood of Elves:

Ciri has consistent nightmares of the Fall of Cintra, and Geralt is there frequently to reassure her. She only believes these reassuances because it was coming from Geralt, and ones from other people don't seem to have the same calming effect.

She also falls asleep holding Geralt's hand after a nightmare.

Yennefer does, in fact, save Dandelion from Rience after he is captured for singing a song about Ciri and Geralt. She saves him because Dandelion was always there for Geralt, when she, in all her unstable assery, was not.

Also, apparently Yennefer is the reason Geralt can eat chicken with a knife and fork skillfully.

Yennefer went blind for a time after the Battle of Sodden Hill.

Also, Back in Book 2, there were 14 wizards dead at the Battle for Sodden, and Yennefer's name was not amongst them. Though, when Geralt climbed the Hill to read the names of all who died, believed Yenn was among them. He read down 13 names, but could not bear to read number 14. He was so frightened of it, that he literally saw death, and asked her to take him by the hand, because she had taken everything from him: Ciri, who he believed was dead, and Yenn. He was tired and broken. Death assured him that his time would come one day, but not yet. And leaving the Hill, still unable to read the name, asked for Yurga, a man tending to his wounds, to tell him all the names of those wizards who died. I believe it is implied that his eyes teared up when he discovered that Yennefer was not amongst the dead.

A few days after their mountain encounter, Geralt made it his mission to find Jaskier and extend his apology. Following a fiercely passionate conversation between the two, their emotions culminated in a kiss, igniting a night of intense intimacy.

As dawn broke, Geralt found himself waking up with Jaskier nestled in his embrace, a rare feeling of contentment washing over the Witcher. However, a faint sound from outside stirred his senses, prompting him to investigate.

A concerned villager delivered the grim news that a child had gone missing, believed to be snatched by some menacing creature lurking in the nearby woods. The frantic mother implored Geralt for help, and without hesitation, he agreed to undertake the dangerous rescue mission.

With a glimmer of hope that he might retrieve the child and return before Jaskier even awoke, Geralt ventured into the unknown. Little did he know that Jaskier would awaken earlier than expected, his curiosity piqued as he inquired about the whereabouts of the Witcher he had spent the night with. All he received in response was a terse message: Geralt had left.

Now, left in the dark, Jaskier couldn't help but assume that Geralt had abandoned him.

Round 2 Poll NN

Jaskier, the character's name in the original, Polish version means Buttercup. Editors changed it into Dandelion in English versions because they thought it was too girly. Marigold (the name under the pic) is Jaskier's name in the Czech edition.

(Roses, buttercup and dandelion)

now I know it doesn't have much uh. competition but. I still stand by the fact that one of the best parts of s2 (aside from yennefer and jaskier having the most dynamic ever) is that they just. kept rience completely unhinged. Like they changed kaer morhen to have more witchers. bleh. they made a whole new ciri subplot abt her wanting the mutagens. bleh. they did the eskel thing. everyone is still united (for once) in how godawful that was. But RIENCE? they kept that fucker a LUNATIC. A fuckin AWFUL GUY. they saw this greasy moist-eyed firey bitch torture a bard even though he KNEW he could just get use magic to read his mind BECAUSE HE SPECIFICALLY LIKES TO MAKE PEOPLE SUFFER and they PLUCKED HIM OUT OF THE BOOK and just PLOPPED HIM IN with Lydia to let them just. do whatever team rocket shit they were doing. bless
