Jaskier gifts Geralt something at least once a month. A silly horse knick-knack that reminded him of Roach, some rock he found, a flower (that's the most frequent). New gloves, new boots, gear, a sword sharpener, really, at least once a year Geralt has something new that means the world to him. So he keeps them all in his room in Kaer Morhen.
Which means that every winter his brothers start trying to squeeze out information about who gives him these presents. Year by year, Lambert and Eskel tackle him and demand to know who gives him PERSONALIZED HAIR-TIES, GERALT! PERSONALIZED HAIR-TIES! AND IS THAT A FUCKING THROW PILLOW WITH FLOWERS ON IT!?
One year, they finally, FINALLY, get out the information that it's the bard he travels with. But surely if he gives him this many gifts and has stayed this many years, he should be spending at least one winter in Kaer Morhen with them, right?
Geralt gets all sheepish and snaps at them to leave it alone and to stop bringing up "Jask."
Well! A brother's gotta do what a brother's gotta do.
Thus commences Lambert and Eskel's race to see who can find Geralt's bard first, and invite him up for the winter so they can wingman their poor emotionally constipated brother

…okay but…jaskier’s family…being the addams family of the witcher world
all of them dress in black. all of them say offputting things at events. everyone is like 99.99999% sure they’ve all killed at LEAST three people. they REGULARLY hold court events in their graveyard with VERY unsettling comments about, “oh it does save time later, just having everyone here from the start”
and they love and support their bright-clothed songbird of a son, but jaskier is just the beloved blacksheep of the WEIRDEST godsdamned family on the continent

funniest character dynamic in the world to me is when you have one guy knows hes gay but doesnt realise hes in love with his best friend and another guy who knows hes in love with his best friend but does not know hes gay
