Based on the post I made a while ago:

I feel like Regis is just silly fella. Also higher vampires love shiny things like their lesser cousins and you can fascinate a higher vampire with a piece of jewelry

(I chose yarrow (common yarrow) beacause It grows everywhere here and in Polish the name is krwawnik and it relates to blood (krew- blood) haha funny.)

okay but book jaskier is so special to me

Him just being this childish, flirty, and self loving pretty man in his fourties who makes inappropriate jokes at the wrong time and always ends up in situations that he needs to be saved from

but him also being so much more than just this basic, seen before, comic relief.

him being an artist, above all else, a really good one, one that can make people passionate and sad and feel all the emotions he feels. wasnt he even a teacher at oxenfurt? like teacher jaskier pls give it all to me

him coming from a rich family, being educated but deciding that his art is all he needs and to live his life in the fullest

him always thinking he's not brave enough, but for the people he loves he goes through danger and discomfort, as long as he possibly could, longer than anyone, including himself would have thought

him also being just a really lovable person? him chosing Geralt, cold seeming, unsocial, sad Geralt as his best friend (in the books thats the kind of realtionship i see them as) and just making Geralt love him, even though he fucks things up on a regular basis, can be annoying as hell and lands them in the strangest ans messiest situation, Geralt loves his bestie so much, he would go through anything for him without making Jaskier feel bad for it

sure he might sometimes be annoyed but would never truly be angry and never ever abandon him do you hear me netflix

he could have all the company in the world, but he chose to stay with the outcast, the brewing, dangerous man who is unwanted and unwelcomed by society, and never regretted it

In conclusion Jaskier is a very special being and means the world to me

Something I find neat about Silco and Jinx is how Jinx was made in fire

While Silco was made in water

And this reflects very clearly into their personalities.

Silco's calm, powerful, and adaptable.

On the surface it's calm blue waters but underneath he's the current that guides the ship that is the under city.

And trying to cross him is like going against a hurricane. You can try to fight a force of nature, but really the only result will be drowning.

Meanwhile, Jinx is loud, explosive, and chaotic.

She has a creative spark that she channels through her weapons and art, and all of it is unabashedly bright with explosions and neon colors.

Emotionally she fluctuates and grabs onto any fuel that comes her way. One moment she's a candle and the next she's a wildfire and you can never predict which one you will get.

But then the show runners swap the roles with visual design.

Silco's got a red and gold color motif, a scar that looks like a burn, and an orange eye.

Jinx has long blue hair and tattoos that look almost like waves.

Silco's water, but looks like fire, and Jinx is fire, but looks like water.

#arcane #arcane analysis #arcane silco #arcane jinx #this is just my favorite dynamic in the show #it combines opposites yet the same #with found family #with evil but a loving parent #also the fire/water thing probably explains why river baptism isn't the best solution for Jinx #good gesture tho #nothing like bonding with your kid through your shared traumas

I just know that Regis was giggling and kicking his feet while being invisible in the bushes after Geralt told him that he doubted anyone could ever afford the price it would take for him to go after Regis's head.

Can't speak for the latter half of the series, but "Baptism of Fire" is the silliest Witcher book so far. Barely any progress is made. Most of the book is The Gang bickering. There's a long scene where they make soup and Geralt is sulking in the background. Dandelion gets a bit hurt and he is being so brave about it and everyone tells him he's being SO brave. There's a vampire AMA that is mostly about the dangers of binge-drinking. At one point, the characters practically turn to face the camera to say "Remember, kids: the only person who gets to choose if a pregnancy is carried through or not is the one who's actually pregnant".

Definitely my favourite in the series yet

#the witcher #also the one where the title is dropped the most #in time of contempt it happened a couple of times but baptism of fire everyone's like whoaa... this is just like a baptism of fire...

The fish soup scene in Baptism of Fire changed me. What if friendship was real and the gang of misfits who by all rights should want you dead instead lovingly worked together, playing up each other's unique strengths to make you fish soup you could share as a family while telling you to sit your ass down, shut the fuck up, and behave. What if that's what love is all about. I am typing this through tears

it is true that regis is a vampire, but baptism of fire is like the least vampire vampire media.

there’s no turning (vampires are a species) there’s no forever-youth (middle aged) there’s no biting (not gonna) there’s no hunting (no such thing as vampire hunters) there’s no burning in the sun (can’t) there’s no christianity (based) there’s no inviting in (he invites them in) there’s no water barriers (river barge) there’s no vampire society (don’t have one) there’s no extravagant balls (they’re disorganized)

there’s not even any drinking blood ‘cause the cunt’s dry as a stone. respect

you get one long monologue about how all of this is bullshit fabricated by human society who are too scared of their own dicks to act normally. psycho-fuckin-analyzed

and you will surely be the death of me, but how could I have known?

Like the slight language freak I am, I found it really intresting how Fit was talking about how his confession with Pac might go yesterday.

'Sometimes a baptism in fire is for the best'

'Once I've got what I want to say out of the way I think it will be easier. Or it'll all crash and burn'

It's like, Fit's been surrounded by so much destruction for so long, it's started to creep into his everyday language. Even when he's talking about something so delicate and gentle as his love, he's still so convinced there's room for failure, room for it to all 'crash and burn'
