Hi, I am so glad I found your blog!! 🦇 I just finished rereading the books and I need all hansa content I can get! Do you have any tips on how to filter the netflix series out? Even following tags like "witcher books" brings up game/c*vill's geralt :( not to mention anything on ao3 lmao I think I found maybe two fics with book characters but that's another can of worms :\

hi!! i’m so happy you like my blog, welcome!

here’s how i filter (i honestly forgot this feature of tumblr existed until @mlmiorveth reminded me of it, bless) and since i’ve been using it i’ve actually had a much better experience on here. i used to use blacklist from Xkit on desktop because tumblr didn’y used to have this feature, but when i search for posts i usually use the mobile interface, so this is more helpful to me.

here’s how (if anyone reading isn’t familiar with how to do it): go to your blog, then go to settings. then select “general settings” > “filtering”

you can filter BOTH TAGS AND CONTENT. “content” is just anything included in the post, so for example, if the word “apple” is in the post because it’s a post about apples, but OP didn’t tag it as “apples,” you could still get it filtered out.

and anything filtered out is hidden behind just a blocked post, so you can press the button to show the post, if for example you see it’s your mutual who made a post about #jaskier and you know you can trust them to not put some random geraskier porn on your dash.

one thing to consider is duplicates. especially when it comes to ships and alternate spellings. if you block a certain ship like “#yennefer x jaskier,” you will not get this ship blocked if OP only tagged their post “#jaskier x yennefer”. similarly, if a character has multiple names, you might want to block all of the variations of their names, like “#geralt” as well as “#geralt of rivia,” or “#emiel regis” as well as “#regis”. but you can also get all of the posts involving a certain character name blocked if you just simply block for their name in content instead of tags.

my list of categories of keywords that i block:

the witcher netflix, twn: self-explanatory

thewitcheredit, witcherdaily: edits, these are 99% of the time netflix-related (yet not tagged for netflix, because twn fans think they’re the default of the fandom) and 1% tw3-related. sometimes i miss out on tw3 content but then again i’ll usually just trust my mutuals to put good tw3 content on my dash

geraskier, jaskier: it makes me kinda sad to block #jaskier but i gotta do what i gotta do.

geraskier-adjacent random shit that the fandom came up with because there’s literally no fucking actual content for them because they are a horrible relationship in canon, such as stuff like “little lark,” “wolf amongst buttercups,” all of this fanon weird stuff

all of the onceler AU jaskiers: immortal!jaskier, fae!jaskier, inhuman!jaskier, vampire!jaskier, mermaid!jaskier ... yeah self explanatory

all of the full names of the cast and production: henry cavill, joey batey, anya chalotra, lauren s hissrich...

“reader x” ships, mostly “geralt x reader” or “henry cavill x reader,” because frankly its disgusting and always like sooo long of a post awkwardly describing henry cavill up in your puthsy lmfao i will never understand cishet women

random ships i hate: renfri x geralt, yennefer x tissaia, yennefer x jaskier, geralt x cahir, etc etc

this might be vampire oppression but i literally filter out “fangs” because there are so many fucking “geralt with fangs omg so hot” posts and i cannot stand seeing thirst for this mediocre man

“wolf bros” or “wolf lads” or whatever people use to refer to the witchers of kaer morhen, i block this because 99% of the time it’s explicit shipping and not like familial content

so yeah that’s pretty much all i block that is witcher netflix-specific! i don’t go in the tags super often but this has helped me have a better time when i do look through tags or someone’s blog to find content to rb ❤️🦇

also yeah i agree ao3 is a whole other deal, i never really go on there unless im making fun of it hdjdhdkdhdk ... there’s no family-based fics anyways but even if there were, i get secondhand embarrassment and all weirded out reading fanfiction so i just don’t

#ask #anon #ty!!
