How strange to dream of you even when I am wide awake.

It’s always funny to read posts like this because it’s pretty clear who is familiar with the books and who is not. I have been waiting this whole time for people to finally start to ship Cahiri in the general audience and now that’s it happening others are acting like it’s shocking or bewildering.

Those who are afraid of what you are are dead weight.

I find it very disheartening to see articles coming out from Forbes and other outlets not only criticizing The Witcher but calling for its cancellation because of season 3. Season 3 has been not only the strongest season, but it’s also been the most book-accurate season to date. The writers have seemingly learned their lesson from season 2 but instead of being rewarded for it, they are being punished.

And these calls for cancellation are making me raise my eyebrows because the articles have been quoting the video games AND consistently mentioning that Henry is leaving the show therefore the show isn’t worth it anymore. The direct criticisms I have seen laid out are criticisms of actual book events (a Ciri-centered episode in the Korath desert, Geralt getting laid to waste by Vilgefortz, etc.)

Season 3 has also been review bombed, with episode 3x07 having the WORST RATINGS of ALL the Witcher episodes. Episode 7 is based entirely on a chapter in Time of Contempt and is the first episode to feature only Ciri and focus on her. The show runners have recently released a statement saying that Ciri is the main character, not Geralt nor Yennefer, and it sparked an outrage so bad that people review bombed Ciri’s episode. Which by the way, was the best episode of the season and my favorite episode since 1x01!

I feel very angry about the reaction to TWN because it is incredibly disengenuous and directly hateful against Freya/Ciri. The show is not an adaption of the video games. Geralt IS the main/most important character of the games, but not of the book series. Ciri is. This show was never about Henry and to think otherwise just proves a majority of the haters were only ever here FOR Henry, only having known about The Witcher from the games, and never actually cared about Andrzej’s story like they are pretending to now.

I hope my statement was eloquent and made sense. 😅

Take this blade and let yours be the last face I see in this world. Princess Cirilla, the lion cub of cintra. She who has the power to move the world. Do it. And forgive me. Forgive me.
