Okay, not gonna lie, I am a bit miffed that the family trio basically forgot about Jaskier?? Like?? Did they just assume he was okay??? Like, wtf. Couple that with Jaskier confirming Radovid's schemes. Feels like everyone just uses him when they need something. :/

Ah, yes, everything the Jaskier fandom has been waiting for.... Jaskier gets his own horse.

Okay, while I most definitely find every way the Witcher series portrays characters falling in love nonesensical (see Yeralt and Radskier), I actually love both of these ships a lot? 🤷‍♀️ Brain confused but I guess I love it.
So now I'm thinking about Radskier lots...
First and foremost, he's KING Radovid now. Slipped my mind. He's currently trapped in a horrible position in which, honestly, he's not safe or his life is threatened at any moment.
He lost his brother, and while, yes, his brother was the worst, I think he still loved him. And while he didn't care all that much for his brother's wife, seeing her beheaded (and knowing its from machinations within the castle) is brutal.
I get the impression that Radovid isn't comfortable with death and violence. He's a bit of a coward, that would probably learn to overcome his fears for Jaskier.
Jaskier is the first person Radovid has ever loved. The first person who's seen through Radovid's mask of drunk useless younger brother, who makes a fool out of himself, who will never be taken seriously despite his older brother's constant attempts to give him something of value to do.
Radovid has always been capable but he lacked the interest, except for Jaskier and his music. Something in Jaskier's music drew Radovid to him. (But from the druids crying - we can see that Jaskier's music brings that out in people)
Presuming Radovid hasn't ever seen Jaskier in person until they met this season, Radovid found Jaskier's lyrics to be the astounding part of him. Jaskier who talks so honestly about love and aching. About Geralt's adventures, in a way where everyone marvels and wants to see them or be there or can easily imagine them. Jaskier sings of heroes, and lovers. Honest men and women, while also being silly in some songs. Studying Jaskier's music, he can study Jaskier.
Jaskier, being able to see threw Geralt's mask, Yennefer's mask (once he didn't see her as a love rival anymore), through Ciri's troubles, and the hearts of people long dead. He can see through Radovid too, and whatever he sees in Radovid is something so strong, it combats his love for Geralt. What does he see in Radovid?
Radovid becomes King Radovid the Stern, a far cry from what we see of him in Season 3. How far does Radovid change? Will we see him become more vengeful and hateful to mages like he does in the games? He would have ample reason too, of course, his two confidants being who they are. Jaskier being the figure of peace he is to people, and how he sees life as well, how will they meet each other next time?
Radovid hearing news of Jaskier and Geralt's adventures and using his resources to help Jaskier specifically. Because Geralt, Yen, and Ciri are Jaskier's family so they get special treatment. So that Jaskier's enemies are Radovid's own.
Radovid under the thumb of Dijkstra and Phillipa, but hopefully not for long. Radovid is intelligent, but a coward, maybe we will get to see him overcome his fears in Season 4.
Anyway, I'm obsessed with them now. ❤️

I forgot this because I was preoccupied by other things, but I love how Fringilla legit pulled a Monte Cristo. lmao. Like??? Does that happen in the books? Or is someone just a big Monte Cristo fan?

Just to be clear, my issue with people is not that some dislike Strange New Worlds, or the Witcher. But I do think some people take canon too seriously. And often times even misunderstand canon to the point of it being their subjective interpretation of it.
Like, the issues I've seen spouted with these two shows are hardly ever objective and when they are... it's just really not that big of a deal... like, you don't have to dedicate your life to something you dislike. Maybe this is just cause I grew up with comic books, but... it's just really not worth your time to complain about something as trivial as shows.

Not me thinking about Radovid the Stern, who likely wins against the wars with Nilfgard, and is known as "The Protector of the North": 😀
Not me also thinking about how he will be called Radovid the Stern, and a good portion of his protection of the north is campaigning for witch hunts that not only involve mages, but "non-humans, herbalists, and soothsayers" too: 😐
ALSO, not me side eyeing my non-human Jaskier headcanons, and Jaskier's canon feelings on non-discrimination:

Rience aint the same dude (how I miss thee Chris Fulton), but all I could think about is how Jaskier couldn't stop thinking about him.

Also love Radskier (Radovid x Jaskier), cause Radovid seems to actually like Jaskier. However, it does feel forced to me. x'''"D Probably because I personally haven't seen anything particulary special about Radovid nor why he would stand out to Jaskier. And just... feels a little odd. But idk, maybe they'll sell it to me better in the rest of the season.

More positive Jaskier things, the way he's just so gentle and caring with everyone who needs it. Like, all his moments with Geralt hurt were so sweet. 🥺🥺🥺 And Radovid. Like, I'm not thrilled with how they wrote their instant love (you'd think they were destined by Djinn love too) but they're cute together, and I wanna see them run away together. ❤️ After the war, that is.
Honestly??? Like, everyone who died.... kinda deserved it on some level. Like, they're all assholes. lmao. I was still sad for Yennefer tho, losing her mother. 😭 And daughter, and husband, like??? Yen always going through the horrors up in here. Ciri too. 😭 Poor Ciri, hope she gets to kill everyone she wants to.
Fringilla x Francesca!!! LIKE, COME ON! They should be together! I legit kept forgetting that Filivandral was her husband???? Pfff! And you can't tell me Francesca wasn't using Fringilla either back when her baby was killed. I feel for Fringilla. 😭
I literally can't wait for Radovid to go apeshit and become Radovid the Stern. I support Radovid's rights and wrongs. High key, can't wait for Phillipa to suffer cause she deserves a reckoning, but also doesn't mean I hate her, I love her actually. Honestly I support everyone but also want them to suffer. lmao
Jaskier's song in Brokolin! Wish I knew what everyone was saying. lmao. (I did not watch this on netflix) The way Jaskier knew that language too. And his conversation with Dara, the way Dara sought him out! Because Jaskier is still a figure of peace to him. ❤️❤️❤️
