#but i think the twn dijkstra and geralt issues are related for me

[limerental]

you can't just drop "i've got dijkstra opinions" and walk away

I've got Dijkstra opinions

*mic drop*

Anyway Dijkstra is one of my favorite book characters and while I'm by no means a book purist and there are many twn characters who I personally feel are more compelling and fleshed out and adapted in interesting ways in the show.... not Dijkstra.

Sorry. That's not my guy. Not in looks and not in character and not in role in the story. Twn failed to cast appropriately s2 and beyond that, he's just a different more boring guy who doesn't interest me at all.

But! I've decided to respond to that dislike by just comitting to writing my preferred version for the folks who like that guy too.

It's similar to my feelings about twn!geralt (and like what folks do with game!Lambert) where I can and will simply ignore all of that and supplant my preferred version into my own fic and headcanons. Even in twn fic, just assume my Dijkstra is not that guy and my Geralt is not that guy.

#hehe #twn critical #twn #i can forgive a lot of choices but not my guy dijkstra #twn spoilers #sort of #sigismund dijkstra #i can't really say more than this because i can't really articulate what exactly makes dijkstra my favorite #but i think the twn dijkstra and geralt issues are related for me #it's about the snark and attitude. and that they are in different genres than everyone else #geralt is just some tired tradesman guy chucked into a fantasy epic and dijkstra is a wry noir detective thrown into royal fantasy politics
